BOY TELLS OF
MANY THEFTS
Charles Leon Arrested for Stealing
Copper Coll Astounds Authorities
toy Confessing to Series of Petty
Crimes.
Evidently taking great delight in
his recital, Charles Leon, a Mexican,
arrested charged with stealing a roil
of copper tubing from the old dis
tillery m tins city, on Tuesday after
noon in the court room of Justice of
the Peace Glenn O. Taylor made n
clean breast of the affair and told of
n dozen other robberies which he says
he has committed in this city. He
endeavored to shield his companion,
Pedro Lopns, but without great suc
cess. Both were bound over to await
action by the grand jury.
Leon confessed to robbing the
Model Clothing company, the Rogue
Rier Electric company, the flour
mill of A. A. Davis, the Southern
Oregon Produce company ami the
Medford distillery, aside from a score
of minor thefts, lie told his story
freely with a touch of bravado.
Led on by a series of clever ques
tions by District Attorney Mulkey
young Leon, who is but a boy, un
folded section after section of his
story and laid bare the particulars of
a score of robberies since last July.
He told all and with a touch of
bravado mentioned several plans
which lie had concocted but later
abandoned.
Leon arrived in this city last July
and according to his story started
on his career of thefts at that time.
He told of entering the Model Cloth
ing company and from that plnce of
business stealing many hats and suits
of clothes. These he cached nnd later
lot when some other thief in turn
stole them from him. The particulars
of entering the warehouse of the
produce company and the flour mill
were told. From thorn he stole mostly
flour.
It is believed that Leon is protect
ing several others who were impli
cated with him but this he strenuously
denies.
AUCTION LICENSE
GOES TO COMMITTEE
An effort to pass an auctioneer lic
ense ordinance at the city council
Tuesday evening did not succeed ow
ing to an impassioned feech ou the
part of Couneilmnn Millar who de
clared that the proposed license fee
of $10 a day was exorbitant. Tho
cntiro matter was referred to the lic
ense committee for recommendation.
Tho matter will be threshed out at
the next session of tho city council.
In nil probability an ordinance cov
ering all forms of licenses will be pre
pared and presented soon.

ROOSEVELT'S COLUMBUS SPEECH.
COLONEL ROOSEVEIrs Columbus speech, printed
elsewhere, is n clear outline of the pint form upon
which he will make the race for the presidency. .It is
ultra-progressive, insurgent, and populist ic.
The speech is the most radical utterance yet delivered
by the former president. It lines him up fairly anil
squarely, against the administration and all that it stands
for. It's every line is denunciatory of the Taft stand-pat
policies and administration. It shows that lioosevclt has
developed during retirement that he has a truer concep
tion of the political ills that afflict the nation than he
had as president than the color-blind Taft can ever have.
Whether he has developed far enough to ignore party for
principles remains to be seen.
"Roosevelt's utterances are sin argument in behalf of
the Oregon system. He dofines the issues clearly when he
says:
"Wro are engaged in one of the great battles of the
age-long contest waged against privilege on behalf of the
common welfare. "Ve hold it a prime duty of the people
to free our government from the control of money in pol
itics. For this purpose we advocate, not as ends in them
selves, but as weapons in the hands of the people, all gov
ernmental devices which will make the representatives of
the people more easily and certainly responsible to the
people's will."
To show how far the nation has drifted from its former
ideals, and how completely the republican party has be
come the party of privilege, he quotes frequently from the
speeches of Lincoln, and likens the party of Taft to the
party of Buchanan. It is the same old issue with scarcely
a change in form the democracy, of Jefferson against the
federalism of Hamilton, the republicanism of Lincoln
against entrenched privilege of Buchanan, the populism of
Brvan against tho plutocracy of jMeKinley, the insurgency
of La Follette atrainst the stand-pattism of Taft the same
ceaseless struggle that has brought to humanity freedom
from bondage and that wiil end only when equality of
opportunity becomes an actuality.
Roosevelt hits hard at the Taft policy of trying to re
store business conditions of half a century ago, as being
as foolish as "an attempt to arm our troops with the flint
locks of "Washington's Continentals, instead of modern
weapons. Jnirtncrmoro, lie
it
vent combination is bound to fail and holds up effective
regulation of corporations as the corrective instead of
farcical bluffs at segregation by long winded lawsuits.
The rights of man are7 placed above the rights of prop
erty by the former president, and he espouses the right of
the state to proscribe conditions governing labor, compen
sation acts, hours and terms of labor, etc. He would make
amendment of the constitution easy at all times, to respond
to the will of the people.
The initiative anil referendum, the short ballot, direct
nominations by the people, the presidential preference
primary, tho popular election of senators and the recall,
even for the judiciary, are favored.
The contrast between Roosevelt and Taft was never
more sharply shown than in their relative positions upon
the judiciary. In Taft's eyes the judiciary is something
holy, a thing upon which has descended the divinity that
once hedged thrones. Says the Colenel:
"Nero, fiddling over burning Rome, was a patriot and
statesman in comparison with judges who trifle with and
frustrate the aroused moral sentiment of a great people,
for that sentiment is politically the vital breath of both
state and nation. Moreover, never forget that the judge
is just as much the servant of the people as any other
official."
