Heney began his address, upon OBJ
serving two little tots in front OF the
audience, that IL was the youth of
today that the country could hope In,
as they were the men OF tomorrow.
From this he cited the story told by
Judge Ben Lindsay. the famous ju-
venile Judge of Denver, of how three
little boys were brought before him
charged with burg'arizlng a boxcar
for some watermelons. How he.
Lindsay, upon investigating had
found how the children's father had
been killed in gasworks explosion
and they were forced TO be thieves.
Heney here took advantage OF the
opportunity to urge the necessity of
an employers liability act and at the
same time to grill those responsible
for declaring the recent one illegal.
Then returning TO the reason OF the
children cited In Judge Linsay's
story, he said: THE reason OF
these children stealing is because
they have seen the police stand in
front of a gildod dive In which gam
bling was going on. and by that were
taught no respect for the law"

ceived while prosecuting criminals;
OF how when they went after the
little fellows they we're patted on the

chants; the millionaires and I'm fact
the public generally, but how when
they indicted Calhoun. the million
aire owner OF the San Fpnclsco rail-
way system. the good citizens" held

rage" Heney flayed the Oregonian.
and told those who did not believe
this 20 he the fact, TO read yester-
day mornings Oregonian and see
how he was roasted.
''You don't know what you've got
in the direct primary law and State
ment No. L." was Heney's opening
remark In regard 10 the present po-
litlcal situation, Statement No. l
has broken the shackles from YOU
and you are free men today" he con-
tinued amidst loud applause. Re-
suming. he said.-"You can nomi-
nate whom you please and elect
whom YOU please and n you don't
vet good men. n Is your own fault"
Heney volunteered the informa-
tion that he would be unable 90 say
TO what party he belonged, but added
"I believe I'm the dOctrinCs of RoOse-

II find grafters In both parties.

Commonwealth way back In 1883.
Speaking In this. vein. Heney stated
