(From the New York World). AVK of every issue of this campaign is tlie irrepress ible conlliet between ueniocracv ami plutocracy. Are the people to rule or is property 's , Nobody else has stated that question with Biieli clear ness .'is did President Wilson in his Omaha address, when he said: Now the touchstone. In thin: On our part absolute singleness of heart nm purpose in our allegiance to Ainerlra, and then a justification of that allegiance to America hy uoldinn the doctrine that Is truly American that the Slates of America were set up to vindicate the rights of man and not the rights of property or the rights ot self-aggrandizement and ag gression. I'roperty we have found to be the indispensable foundation of stable Institutions, hut the riitbtx of humanity are the essence oi five institutions, and iiotlihiK can tiUu pi-ccc4leuce of tlifiu. it is because AVoodrow "Wilson litis caught this vision that he is today the greatest living leader of democracy in this or any other count ry. It is because Charles K. Hughes has not caught this vision that he has willingly made him self the servant of property and privilege in a campaign to reseisai the government or tlie United .States. Jt is be cause the people of the middle west have begun to grasp the meaning of this contest that President Wilson is re ceived there with tremendous demonstrations of popular enthusiasm. The United States lias never had greater need of a truly democratic president in the white house than it has now of a president who is in earnest sympathy with the demo cratic, hopes and aspirations ot mankind. War inevitably breeds political reaction. It was so after the Napoleonic downfall in Europe. It was so after the civil war in the United States. It was so after the Span ish-American war. It will be so after the most devastat ing war known to human history. The rising tide of Tory ism in Great Britain is already one of the sinister signs ot the coin net. The American people must either keep their govern ment in their own hands or submit to being exploited by every privileged interest that is in financial partnership with Wall street republicanism. Air. Hughes in this cam paign is only a mask for the greediest horde of financial exploiters that the country has ever known a horde that is working through the republican organization and is pre pared to take possession of all the machinery of govern ment for its own sordid profit. It is financing the Hughes! campaign on a. settle that Mark Hanna himself .never reached, and Mr. Hughes' election would mean a new sat urnalia of corporation government. The influences back of him make it impossible that it should mean anything else. American democracy must protect itself in this crisis of civilization, and it can protect itself only by re-electing President Wilson. The farmers have begun to see it. The workingnien have begun to see it. The small merchants have come to see it. The salaried employes are beginning to see it. All the political resources of financial Uourbonism have been thrown into the settle on the side of Mr. Hughes; but money and corporation power cannot win the election if the American people are still alive to their ancient rights and their ancient liberties if thev are still keeping the old faith. The Wilson policies tire a new charter of democracy which can be rejected only at public peril. To return to the doctrine of government of property by property for property is to return to the doctrine that, exalted human ej slavery, that justified secession and that finally gave the United States over to civil war. The Rev. Ralph Hall. LL.D. D.D. of Philadelphia, superintendent ot the Young People's Christian Association of the Presbyterian church in the United States and one of America's greatest preachers, will preach ot the Presbyterian church both morning and evening next Sunday, Oct. 15.

Is a sulphate of llmo, which has been recognized for years as a valuable fertilizer, and the best stimulant and regulator of the rhylcal conditions of the soil that nature has provided. It is composed ot 46 per cent, sulphuric add, 33 per cent, lime and 21 per cent, water. It contains two of the most common plant foods, lime and sulphur. Pr. Horace E. StockbridRB of the Florida Agricul tural Collcse, speaking of Gypsum, says with regard to lime: "Where the mountain limestone Is at the surface, soils of remarkable properties are tho result their grazing qualities being tinequaled.

ONE NORMAL NOT ENOUGH Oregon has but one Normal School. This school hi located at Monmouth. Excellent as is the work ot this school it is utterly unable to supply but a ri'il' part c.f t'.ie vort for trained teachers for the S Of more than 8,000 school tesehera In the public schools of Oregon, but 13 per cent have been trained for th.tr profeaaton of toachlng in Normal Schools. it is a well established fact that our one Normal School cannot supply the needs ot tho entire state. That Is why we ask for your work and vote for the proposed Kastern Oregon State Normal School at Pendleton, Oregon. GIVE EASTERN ORJCON SQUARE DEAL Eight counties In the Willamette Valley have employed during the past five years, 203 teachers who have gradu ated from the Monmouth Normal aa against 39 Monmouth Normal School graduatea for the sight isadlng countlss of Eatlern Oregon. During the past five year. th. attendance of atudsnts from nine Willamette Valley counties was 877 atudsnts aa against 91 studenta from nine of the leading countlss of Eastern Oregon. Owing to the crowded condition of our one Normal at Monmouth and also the distance and expense of attending, students from Eastern Oregon are com pelled to go to neighboring statoa to secure their training as teachers. ONLY COSTS J CENTS PER $1,000 The annual maintenance coat of the proposed State Normal School In Eastern Oregon amounts to but ons 25th of a mill or 4 cents on s thousand dollara of taxable property. Isn't it worth this to have your children trslnsd to bricoms useful snd productlvs clttzensT STRONG ENDORSEMENTS Among those who strongly endorse tha establish ment of the proposed Eastern Oregon Normal School are Governor Withycorabe, J. H. Ackerman. Presi dent of the Monmouth State Normal; W. J. Kerr, President o( the Oregon Agricultural College; P. L. Campbell, President of the State University; Robert C. French, former Presidont of the Weston Normal, and practically all of the leading educators of the State. J. A. Churchill, Superintendent of Public In struction, voices the sentiment; of those who are most familiar with the need of more adequate Normal facilities when he says: "Oregon's greatest need for Its rural schools Is the teacher who has had full preparation to do h.r work. Such preparation can best coma through Normal School tra-nlno. I trust that the votere of the state will assist In raising tns standard cf our schools by sstsbllshlng s Ststs Nor msl School st Pendleton. The locstlon Is centre!, the In. terMI ot the people of Pendleton In education most .seal. lent, snd ths Isrge number of pupils in the public school, will glvs ample opportunity to students to get the amount of teaching practice required In s stsndsrd normal echool." All the above educators Insist that a Standard Normal School must bo located in a town of MOO or more population and having enough grade pupiia for teaching practice.
