PRESIDENT PAYS
TRIBUTE, AUTHOR
BALTIMORE, Md., Juno 15. The
prayer of Francis Scott Key that vic
tory over may be Justified "when free
men shnll Btand between their loved
home and the war's desolation," was
reiterated by President Harding in
dedicating here yesterday a memorial
to the author of "The Star Spangled
Banner."
Standing at old Fort Mcllenry, near
which Key penned the words which,
set to music, have become the nation's
anthom.'the president declared the
prayer ho had quoted had been grant
ed. "The faith has been kept," he added.
"It Is the hope of every American
heart today that it will continue to bo
kept. The intervening century has
brought our country power nnd high
place. It has cast U'ion us heavy bur
dens of responsibility, making its share
the difficult problems of a world In the
turmoil of a new time. We need all
the inspiration and faith which fired
his glowing soul of patriotism. No
generation of men has ever come into
the world to find Its path smoothed, or
to find its problems solved for it in
advance. Solution is the fit price we
pay for our great Inheritance of lib
erty and opportunity."
Mr. Harding appealed that more of
the spirit of the author of the nation's
hymn might be instilled In the Amer
icans of today and added that even
though the present generation might
be called upon to shoulder unprece
dented burdens, it might rejoice in un
exampled strength.

SPRINGFIELD, 111b., Juno 15. A
plea forva powerful merchant marine
Intho Pacific, composed of fleets of
cargo vessels flying the American
flag and engaged In trans-oceanic and
Asiatic coastwise trade, was made to
day by llishop Fred 13. Fisher, resi
dent Bishop of Calcutta, for the
Methodist Episcopal church, In an
address. Abandonment of the policy
of isolation "bb Impracticable in an
Interdependent age." was advocated
by the speaker, . who also outlined
principles for capturing markots in
the far cast.
"This country ought to have a
huge merchant marine in 'Pacific
waters," said Bishop Fisher. "Not
only should there be fleets of cargo
vessels plying between our ports and
thoBe of China, India and other cen
ters of commerce In tho Orient, but
there should be American lines en
gaged in coastwise trade connecting
China with India.' There should be
headquarters for our foreign trade
not only in this country, but Manila
Bhould be another base of operations
rivalling Liverpool or Hongkong."
Declaring the Idea of war between
Japan and the United States to be
"ridiculous,"' Bishop Fisher advocat
ed allowing the Japanese lo expand
into Siberia as the only field left to
which to send Japan's excess popula
tion'. For the annual school election of the
Medford district to be held next Mon
day there are two candidates for elec
tion to the office of director, to suc
ceed C. M.1 Thomas, whose term ex
pires. These candidates are Dr. R. W.
Stearns who filed his acceptance as a
c8ndidate last evening, and Dr. Ira D.
Phlpps who had previously, filed his
acceptance. Doth men are running In
accordance with petitions filed by
school patrons the first of the week.
There has been but little interest so
far taken In the coming election, but
now that the list of candidates is
closed and there are two candidates,
both well known citizens, running for
the vacancy on the board of education
Interest Is expected to Increase. The
polls at tho high school will be open
from 2 to 7 p. m., next Monday.

HALL TORUN INDEPENDENT
(Continued from page one)
ly numbers on the registration lists,
so it is alleged. The Washington and
Marion county precincts, such as
Mount Angel and Aurora, In Marlon,
are to be recounted, the story has It,
those bolng districts largely populat
ed by mom bora ot the Catholic church.
It Is said to be the hope of Hall and
his managers that out of tho 118 and
more precincts to be reopened, more
than 100 Instances of Ulcgular ballot
ing may bo unearthed. This being
done It will be the Hall strategy, ac
cording to the report, for Hall to is
sue a public statement, pointing to
the results in this partial -recount, and
contending that, with this showing
made in throe'precincts. It can well
be argued that he is, in fact, the real
republican nominee tor tho governor
ship. Too Poor for Recount
Hall's managers will contend, it is
stated, that the senator Is a poor man
and financially unable to reopen the
ballot boxes of the state as a whole.
It will bo argued that on the face of
the Bhowlng from the few selected
districts a general recount would
prove him to be the winner at the
recent primary election and that. In
Justice to his friends and supporters,
there is no cqurse open to him hut
to submit his Independent candidacy
to the electorate In November.
The legislature of 1919, in chap
ter 421 ot the session laws, raised a
statutory bar against a defeated can
didate for nomination becoming an
independent aspirant for election, but
it is the Intention of Hall and his
headquarters to ignore this statute,
so it Is said. The law provides that
"No candidate for a nomination who
falls to receive the highest number of
votes for the nomination of a political
party with which he is affiliated at
the time of filing his petition for
nomination, shall be entitled to bo
the candidate of any other political
party, or to becomean Independent
candidate at tho ensuing election, and
In either case the county clerk shall
not certify the name of such candi
date." Hold Iwiw Unjust
It Is said to be the contention ot
the Hall managers that this law,
should It be submitted to the supreme
court for construction, would be held
as an Impairment of the' constitu
tional right of a citizen to be a can
didate for office and therefore void.
It has been rumored for the last
two weeks or so that the agents of the
Ku Klux Klan and the Federated
Patriotic societies have been assess
ing members ot these organizations
$2 each to defray the pxpense of the
oonlPiuiilnted recount.

caves are being advertised the coun
try over, and a great influx of visit
ors Is expected this summer with tho
opening of tho new automobllo road
leading to tho caves, suys C. J. Ituck,
assistant district forester in charge
of recreation, who has Just returned
from tho caves.
"Grants l'ass Is planning a grand
opening Juno 26. when the roud will
bo comploto," said Buck. "A permit
has been issued to It. Mcllveen of
Medford to conduct a lunch room
and a small store at the caves this
summer. He will also furnish lights
and coveralls for the visitors to the
caves."
A wonderful improvement in the
method of going through the caves
has been effected by Ouiclo K. A.
Rowley, said Buck. Steel ladders now
replace the old wooden onei, and the
passages have been enlarged so that
one can walk upright much of the
way. Home of the openings Rowley
enlarged with povder, but others he
chiselled out, so as not to Injure tho
limestone formations.
Oregon Caves arc beginning to nt
traet as much attention as Crater
I-ake," said Buck, "and inquiries are
coming from as far oast as New York
from persons who expect to visit
them this year.

Tho day's program was opened by

Mr. Gompers told the delegates that
as far back as 1881 In the first consti
tution adopted by the. federation, a
declaration was incoroorated for the
j enactment of state laws prohibiting
; labor by children under 14 years our.
j He referred to the fjrst federal law,
ithat ot 19113, being declared invalid by
tho supreme court by a five to four
opinion, and added that the . second

one dissenting vote of the' court.
