Before an audience OF 5000 at Gin

SOME Of 0REGON'S FORGOTTEN LAWS

Spasms Of civic virtue, which have
as their aim the rigorous enforce
ment Of obsolete laws, are almost in
variably dlscriminative. That il,
where certain sections of the statutes
are applied, no matter how long they
may have been imperative from dis
use, any number Of antiquated laws
may be found which tolerate practices
which are or are not vicious, accord
ing as the whims Of administrative
officials may determine. The statute
books Of Oregon are peculiarly bur-
dened with this class Of enactments,
many Of them which, If carried out
to the letter would no doubt raise
equal or greater uproar than the sun
day closing law which District AttoT-
ney Cameron recently attempted to
regurrect and galvanize into life in
Portland.
No state in the Whole United
states is free from legislation Of
Draconian severity. The history Of
every commonwealth in the Union is
that special emergencies have given
birth 70 these agencies Of legal discip-
line cluttering codes and causing con-
fusion, and especially IS this true Of
young or rapidly growing states,
where new conditions arise which

regulation.

TAFT AFRAID OF
SEVERAL PLANKS
CHICAGO PLATFORM is NOT
SATISFACTORY
"Taft Fears Uprising Which Abuses
Have Caused" Says commoner,
land Yet He Hesitates to
Adopt Reforms"

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb., July 29.
Charging that Judge William H.
Taft was not satisfied with the work
of the Chicago convention, which nom-
mated him as the Republican can
didate for the presidency, and that in
consequence he is deeply impressed
with the work of the Democratic con-
ventnon at Denver, w. j. Bryan today
issued a statement in which he eX-
pressed the opinion that Judge Taft
fears the uprising which Republican
abuses have caused and yet hesitates
to adopt his real and substantial re-
FORMS"
The statement was called forth be-
cause of the allegation made by Judge
Taft in his speech of acceptance at
Cincinnati yesterday that Mr.. Bryan
was a destroyer of business.
In regard to the speech Mr.. Bryan
said: Il read it and shall discuss it as
1 deal with the various subjects upon
which it treats.
1.-The most noticeable feature of his
speech is his attempt to amend the Re-
some of the planks of the Democratic
platform. He is evidently not satis-
fed with the work of his convention.
and is deeply impressed by the work OF
the Democratic convention. He is un-
charitable. however, in not giving the
Democratic party credit for having
pointed out the reforms which his own
convention repudiated, but which he.
in a half-hearted way, indorses. The
speech shows that he fears the upris-
ing which Republican abuse have
caused, and yet he hesltates to adopt
his real and substantial reforms"
