Slavery.

The sore Affections Of Africa are
the slave traffic and the rum traffic.
Wherever the former is lessened the
latter seems to be increased, and IL is
not easy to say which is the more
destructive. There are three slave
markets outside of Africa which make

that 5000 slaves are taken from the
mainland to the island every year
About 1000 more go to Arabia. The

about three lives for every slave they
succeed in transporting. so that the
annual loss of life from this cause Is
enormous. Many of the porters who

required to give their owners half OF
what they receive. The mortality
among these porters is, from various
causes, very great. amounting, it is
estimated, to about thirty per cent.

Chairman Frank c. Baker of
Republican Committee
Visits Capital

Hon. Frank c. Baker, chairman OF
the Republican state central commit
tee, is in the city today on business
and is everywhere receiving congrat.
ulations upon the phenomenal results
of the recent election in Oregon. The
magnificent majority of $4,000 for the
Republican ticket was the largest ev.
er experienced in the state. and nat
urally Mr.. Baker feels & proper sense
Of pride in the results, although he
very modestly gives the credit to the
good workers in all the counties.
In order to show the state chair
man a proper sense Of appreciation
for his services a large number of the
Republicans of the city called upon
State Chairman Baker at Hotel Will
lamette this afternoon. County Chair
man MurRhy and State Committee
man Hal d. Patton, accompanied by
a goodly number of the faithful, in.
Guiding several county officials, went
over in body and paid their respects
and extended congratulations upon the
splendid victory achieved. Mr.. Baker
complimented the local leaders in the
highest terms, and said that old Ma
rion was the only county in the state
that had elected every Republican
county officer and gave good major
ity for every state and district candi-
date. He looks for even a greater
landslide this fall for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks, and. in fact, Mr.. Baker
predicts great things for the party in
the future. Mr.. Baker is probably in
closer touch with the party workers
and managers in all parts of the state
than any other one man in Oregon,
and, while he isn't one of the kind that
"sees things" he says there is every
reason to believe that a new era of
Republican prosperity is in store, such
as will make this nation greater than
the most sanguine can now forecast
All Joined in hearty handshake, and
in fact Chairman Baker felt at home,
inasmuch as he was personally ac.
quainted with nearly every man in
the happy bunch. He left for home
on the afternoon overland train.

where he spent his early years is situated four
miles of Cortland the county seat OF the
county now prosperous city Of some 10000 in
habitants In Judge Parker's boyhood days it
a small village of two or three thousand popul.-
ton. The farmhouse as It stands to-day and sur
roundings practically the same as when the
present Chief Judge played about the place. at
tended the district school half a mile distant or
helped his father with the work the farm.
The farm is still owned by the Parker family.

judges father had ii in charge It regarded
of the best in the region. Through one OF It's
fertile valleys a small brook. from which
boy Alton used to lure the trout. On the hill
side, sloping to the east, is the old sugar bush
which IN the spring was always scene Of activity
in those early days when the sap was boiled in
large kattles and the conveniences OF modern
maple sussrnnaking were unknown. 1t may be
doubted II the Judge has tasted anything moro
sweet than the sugar for which he used to gather

found finer favored fruit than grew in the old
orchard down across the meadow from the house.
