fAIRPLAY,' SLOGAN
OF LIBERAkLEADER
Asquith Opens Election Cam
paign as Party Fight for Rep
reSentative Government

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Premier Asquith
opened the radical campaign with a
speech at luncheon of the National
Liberal club. He announced no new
policies.
The government, Asquith said, was
determined to bring an end at once and
for all time to the present system. un-
der which liberal legislation did not
have a fair chance, and to confine the
second chamber to subordinate func-
tions appropriate to such a body. The
liberals were fighting for fair play, for
progressive legislation and the com
plete establishment of a representative
government
Regarding the recent activity of the
lords in the matter of reforms them
selves, the premier said that the reason
for this was clearly apparent as the
tories could not face another election
with the incubus of the house of lords
on their back.
BITTER FIGHT PROMISED
With the delivery of Asquith's speech.
and Balfours outline of the unionist
policy given earlier in the week the
laid their cards on the table.
The fight viii be short and sharp, and
from the attitude of the speakers who
have already taken the platform as
bitter as it viii be short
When the failure of the veto confer
ence was announced, all signs favored
the government candidates fresh from
their successes in the bye elections.
Good trade returns increase the popu-
larity of free trade, while the unionists,
disorganized, had apparently lost heart,
some of their newspapers even predict
ing their defeat should an election en-
sue.
TORIES CHANGE FRONT
The approach of the dissolution of
parliament, however. restored their
confidence and although a section of
the party which a few weeks ago ad-
vocated federal home rule is finding it
awkward to recant, the ranks gener-
ally have been reformed.
The house of lords naturally is the
foremost question on which the cleo
tion will be fought
A plank of Importance in the unionist
platform is opposition to home rule and
the use of American dollars to destroy
the British constitution"
The latter cry has lost some force
through the publication of a statement
that only $4,000 was collected by the
Irish leader. third of which came from
Canada.
LABOR PROBLEM DIFFICULT
The liberals are full of confidence in
their policy for the abolition of the
veto power of the house Of lords, free
trade and the success of the govern
ment's social legislation. They have
an awkward problem to face in seek
ing a solution of conditions arising
from the Osborne judgment, which pro-
hibits trades unions from using their
funds to support the labor party.
The suffragettes are well provided
with funds for the election, but the
public has lost curiosity in their ac-
tions.

Metaline Teacher a Suicide

Leaving behind a pathetic note, on
which she had hastily scrawled, "God
knows that am not the cause of this.
1t is not my fault" Miss Rosa Baum
berger, aged "a, whose people live at
Lind, Iowa. and recently employed as q
school teacher at Metaline, ended her
life in room in the Langham Hotel,
occupied by J. B. Farley, an employe Of
the Spokane Drug Co., at noon Monday,
by sending bullet from 38-calibre re-
yolver through her brain. She lived an
hour.
Dependency through being out of
employment and an unfortunate ending
of love affair are given as the causes.
She came to Spokane Wednesday from
Metaline, Wash, registered at the Brown
Hotel, Second avenue and Post street,
and has been extremely nervous for two
days, pacing the floor of the Office all
day Sunday, waiting for telephone
call. She is thought to have sister at
4of seventh street. Portland, Ore. Mon
day morning she went to the Langham
Hotel, across the street. to Farley's
room, presumably to wait for his return
at noon.
Farley was brought to the police sta
ton after the affair and was so excited
that he could not make clear statement
for some time. After regaining his COM
posure he said he had known the dead
girl at Metaline last August. "She was
pure and good, so do not cast any stain
on her character" was the plea of Far
ley.
Coroner Fl. E. Schegel took charge of
the body, which is held at the Smith
undertaking rooms awaiting word from
relatives.

ENCOURAGE Settlement in National Forests

Secretary Wilson has given instruc.
tions to. the Forest Service that here
after settlers desiring in good faith to
establish homes on agricultural lands in
forest reserves shall be given every
proper encouragement by rangers and
forestry officials, and that all lands in
reserves primarily adapted to settlement
and cultivation shall be made readily
accessible to homesteaders.
Much good land now held for admin
istrative purposes is to be opened to
entry.
Secretary Wilson is sending Chief
Forester Graves to the west to person
ally instruct rangers and other forestry
officials, and to impress upon them that
this administration will no longer toler-
ate their overbearing attitude to thwart
settlement, as they did under Clifford
Pinchot.
Secretary Wilson is also preparing to
eliminate from forest reserves all lands
known to be chiefly valuable for agri-
cultural purposes.
According to adyices from Washington
Secretary Wilson has undertaken to pro-
mote settlement in the west by calling
attention to these forest reserve home
steads, and with that end in view Chief
Forester Graves has started on a trip
throughout the west.
The heavy precipitation in Western
Montana, Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Northern California makes those
states the ideal location for working out
the homestead plan, and it will be in
that territory that most of the effort to
secure settlers will be applied.

MINERAL DISPLAY
At COUNTY FAIR
RICH DEPOSITS COPPER, GOLD,
SILVER, ETC, WILL BE
SHOWN.

One OF the most interesting feat
ures of the Wallowa County Fair
associations exhibits will be a thor
ough display OF Wallowa county
minerals. Several claim owners
have already manifested the inten-
ton of making an exhibit of the
leading ores of their properties. and
this should inspire all owners of all
minera prospects to do likewise,
making a distinct and invaluable fea-
ture Of the great fair.
Wallowa county contains some of
the best gold. silver and copper ores
in the country. While the mineral
is at present undeveloped that fact
does not argue against the presence
of rich mineral deposits here. As
matter of fact there are mope low
grade primary deposits in this coun-
~ than in nine tenths the miner
al producing sections Of the United
States. And it is the primary de-
posit which makes in time the big
producer. Primary deposits. again,
are the synonyms Of mineral in
quantity, Primary deposits argue
against mere pockets Of Iich. high
grade precipitations that must run
out eventually.
With good, low-grade primary de-
posits of mineral lying just at the
doors of our county fair, it would
De almost wicked not to install a
superb collection of mineral at the
fair. There is also another view
point: A first-class mineral depart
ment showing Wailowa county's re-
sources in that particular. might
prove the means of presenting to
large capital the invitation to come
into this district and open some of
our prospects and convert them
into mines. At least that possibll-
ity Is contingent. Right i'm the
heart of a mineral district Enter
.jrise would be neglecting an oppor
cunity by neglecting such a display
Of her min erals as would attract the
favorable attention of any mine in
vestor who might attend the fair.
The fair association is exerting ev
cry effort to get claim owners to ex-
hibit, and it is to the material ad-
vantage of such owners to aid in
the effort by responding with the
best ore on the dumps.

MAYOR J. A. BURlElGH
DELIGHTED ELGIN PEOPLE

Mayor Burleigh pleased everybody
at Ebgin in his Fourth of July ora
ton there so much that he was pre-
vailed on to give another address on
the following day. The Recorder hat
this to say of his speech:
The Grafton delivered by Hon. ].
A. Burleigh, well known Enterprise
attorney and ex-member Of the
Oregon legislature, was the best sv-
er heard in Elgin, and one Of the
most interesting ever heard in east
ern Oregon. Mr. Burleigh is not
only polished orator, but is a
thinker of no small ability, and in
stead of making the eagle scream"
he method used on such oc-
casions. he delivered straightfor-
ward talk on the present condition
Of the United States government and
the duty of the citizens thereof. One
of the principal ideas conveyed by
him was that no government is
better than the citizens who compose
it, and that whatever defects exist
in the government of the United
States today is due to the voters.
A government can be no cleaner
than its people," was fact which
drove home to his hearers. He made
it plain that it was the duty Of ev-
cry citizen to think for himself and
not to vote was worse than being
an anarchist. Space forbids giving
