ROOSEVELT
the
He Demands a New National
Ism to Deal with New
Problems.

A now national issue was begun at
Osawatomie, Kan. when Theodore
Roosevelt. speaking in the town where
John Brown stood himself against the
Missouri raiders in 1885, and deliv-
cred himself OF utterances which are
construed as the most radical he has
ever made.
He split with the administration and
President Taft. He will never endorse
the administration. for. indeed. he can
not now. Mr.. Roosevelt will go along
on his own hook, and the regulars san
follow him II they want to. He stated
the platform upon which he intends to
stand
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that the
American people are right In demand
ing the new nationalism. without
which they cannot hope to deal with
new problems. He declared also that
the new nationalsm puts the national
need before section or personal need.
He said that ii is impatient OF the ut
ter confusion that results from local
legislatures attempting to treat ma
tional issues as local issues. He did
not mention President Taft.
A crowd of red hot Kansas insur-
gents listened to the colonel make this
impassio@ed speech. and they yelled
for all they were worth. While they
sat in John Browns park they heard
Mr.. Roosevelt discuss issues of the
moment and the future. Some of them
he has spoken before. Others he has
not Before long he will have more to
say in regard to his platform. The
address. and when II was over nc said
that he had nothing TO add. because
his remarks spoke for themselves.
Break With Taft Confirmed.
II was put up to him that he had
preached socialism. but he merely
smiled. His unmistakable threat to
break down the business of the land
ii they do not be good was simply a
repetition Of things he has said before
on this trip His break with the pres.
idcnt was confirmed without a shadow
of doubt.
| Mr. Roosevelt had lunch with DR..
Uhll at the state insane asylum. From
there he went to John Brown park and
began his speech Governor Stubbs
Senator Bristow. Congressman Madi
son. James r. Garfield. Clifford Pin.
Tchor and William Allen White were
with him. They rooted TO beat the
band.
Eqnalize opportunity. Mr.. Roosevelt
began; destroy privilege. While he
stands for the square deal under the
present rules OF the game he stands
for having those rules changed. That
was the first shot that was calculated
TO get the Kansans going. and II did.
They shook the trees with their
shouts. The colonel then got into tho
heart Of the matter. He discussed the
railroads. corporations. tariff. the in.
come tax and publicity Of campaign
funds. He intimatcd that he favors
the recall. he showed mighty clearly
that on great many matters he does
not agree with President Taft. and II
he does he did not take occasion 10
say so. That came in regard to the
tariff.

TEMPERANCE SERMON
Preached BY Rev. r. A. Williams AT
Baptist Church.

Rev. r. A. Williams preached a
temperance sermon at the Bapust
church Sunday morning to large con-
The text was from Gal. 6:2, Bear
We one another's burdens and so fuliil
the law of Christ" and the sermon
was a splendid presentation OF the rela-
tions that should exist between the FOL
lowers of Christ and their fellow men.
|. The Christian must use every ef-
fort to give to every man the pest
chance to make the most of himself.
2. He must make it as easy as possl-
bic for men to be good. He must try
10 remove every obstacle that stands
in the way of right living, realizing
that. even then, it will be a herce
3. The essence of the religion Of
Christ is "to seek and to save that
which was lost" and the Christian IS
like Christ when he engages in that
service. He is to labor for his own
sake. for his neighbor's sake and for
Christ's sake.
In applying his sermon TO the saloon
problem Mr.. Williams said he had no
unkind thought toward any who might
differ from him, but his own earnest
desire as a Christian, as the pastor OF
the Baptist church and as a citizen,
was that the saloon should be forever
banished from the city. because it ex-
erted an influence diametrically op-
posed TO all that the church stands for
In conclusion he propounded these
questions.
|. Who wants the saloons back?
Not the churches. The saloon Is
their greatest enemy.
Not the pastors. They knew, as per
haps few other men did. the suffering
the saloon entailed.
Not the women and children. The
saloon adds nothing to their happiness
and comfort.
Not the merchants. A majority had
expressed themselves as being satisfied
with present conditions.
Not the city. The last report oil the
president of the Council to that body
showed that the city was never IN bet
ter condition.
9. What do they want with saloons?
Certainly not to improve moral con-
dtions.
Certainly not 10 promote the peace
and happiness of the people OF the
town.
Certainly not to benefit the women
and children, not TO instil higher ideals
of living, not to uplift in any way. ,,..,
In a most eloquent manner Mr.. WI,
liams then called on his people to stand
solidly behind him and do everything
possible to bury the saloon so deep al
the next election that there might be
no possibility of a resurrection.

An amusing an rather exciting gam,e,

King George, both pitched excellent
games, and their work is not fairly IN.

both teams, especially that of Union'
being of the weird variety.
When King George went TO bat IN

score was 8 to 6 in favor of Union.
When two hands were down Billingsley
walked largest, who Immediately stole
second. Grigsby also drew a pass. j..
Billingsley hit to short right scoring
largest, landing Grigsby on third. AT
this stage of the game the Unlonists
began TO show signs of going up in the

score. tying the score. Complete panic
seized the Union forces at this critical
time and rather than have the winning
score made, threw down their bats and
marched off the field.

COMPLAIN OF
FREIGHT RATES

Alleging that the Increased freight
rate upon -four from Portland TO San
Jose Is discriminatory, and that ii has
the effect of protecting California
millerB, and preventing northern mill
ers from shipping that commodity
into California; the Jobes Milling
Company, Of Portland, has made a
complaint against the Southern Pa
oifc Railroad COMPANY to the Oregon
Railroad Commission.
The company says that tho freight
rate originally charged for -four and
mixed feed from Portland 90 San
Jose was $4 per ton. 1t now alleges
that, while the same rate prevails as
to wheat, bran and shorts, that a new
rate Of $500 is charged per ton fof
-four. The effect of this, it Is al
legged, is to protect California MILL
ers, by preventing the shipment OF
-four from Oregon and Washington
to that state, because of the high rate
1t is also alleged that the rate given
on wheat enables the California mill
ers to obtain It at a figure so low
that 1t makes It impossible for the
northern miller, in view OF the
freight rates placed on the -four, to
compete with the California millers.
overcharge Refunded.
The Railroad Commission is in re-
ceipt Of letter from J. X. Sears, OF
Mccoy oregon, advising 1t that the
overcharge for a car Of land plaster
had been refunded, and thanking the
cofnInission for IT'S servIees.

joins the L. U, Josse furniture store
this forenoon, and it looked for
while as though the former was
doomed and that the flames would
also spread to the latter.
There is no certainty as to the or
igin of the fire but it is believed
that it had it's origin from sparks
from the chimney of creamery
which adjoins the Shontz building.
1t is believed that these sparks ig-

in this manner started the fire. The
