Unconscious in Car-PoSSeS
Seek Auto Bandits.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Dec. TO-
Sheriff's posses and railroad detectives
today began a search for two bandits
who robbed the express car of the Sun
set Western train of the Santa Fe line
near MariCopa and secured $4,000 in
gold. The search is extended along the
entire line of the Santa Fe from Ba-
kerstield to Taft, Cal, and word has
been sent to various places throughout
the oil fields around Bakersfield to
watch for two men having considerable
sums of gold
The money was a shipment from the
First National bank of Bakersfield to
the First National bank of Taft. The
robbery was not discovered until the
train reached Taft. The door of the
express car was closed and locked. The
messenger did not appear when the
train arrived at Taft and the door was
broken open.

sacks. He was beaten about the head

was leaving Maricopa. Handy said he
pulled the bell cord to summon the
train crew, then grappled with one of
the men. The other struck him over
the head with the butt of a revolver. He
was dazed by the blow. Then both men
assailed him, he said, and he lost con-
seriousness from the beating that he re-
ceived.
Autos Waiting For Robbers.

bers left the train, but members of the
crew saw number of automobiles
waiting at Sigma Junction and they be-
lieve they left the train there. entered
the machines and left. Every town and
village in the vicinity was notified as
soon as the robbery was discovered.
The gold was in two sacks. one con.
tanning $4,000 and the other $4,000. It
had not been put in the safe.
Hamby's condition is serious. but
physicians say he will recover. He was
unable to give a description of the men
and could not even tell whether thew
We're masked. He lost consciousness
shortly after telling of the robbery and
has not since been able to add to the
details of the story.

In the third place, there is alto
gether too small preparation for the
canal in the form of the building Of
vessels to fly the American flag. A few
are being constructed, but even these
are paltry in number compared to the
preparations Of the European and Jap
anese ship yards and shipping compa-
MES
In the fourth place in discussing
the development Of trade through the
canal, we are considering 1t too much
from a selfish standpoint. We are
thinking only Of our export trade or Of
what we VIII sell and not enough of our
import trade or what we win buy. Fx-
change of products is the life of COM
merce. We must consider what mar
kets we can provide for the products Of
the countries reached through the ca
nal az well as what we can sell to
them
Finally, our commercial, civic, lit
erary and educational organizations
and institutions. from chambers Of
commerce and universities down to
boys clubs and preparatory schools,
should take up the study Of the Pana-
ma canal and what it means not only to
our trade, but to our influence among
the nations.
only in this way can we inagurate
and develop a real Panama canal move
ment which will enable us to realize
large benefits from the canal in the
shortest possible time"

THE WAY is EASY.

Since the recent power merger in
Portland numerous suggestions have
been made as TO how the people may
obtain relief. Some advise state reg
ulation. Others want the city of
Portland to condemn the property of
the trust and take it over Discuss
irg the general subject OF power de-
velopment State Engineer Lewis
comes out in favor of joint state and
national water power development.
All of the suggestions made contain
points of merit. But Pendleton does
not need to bother with such round
about methods. The city has an op-
portunity to solve the question with
out resort to a state commission or
waiting for federal and state control
Of power plants. Pendleton has an
opportunity to secure a power site of
its own and one that is reported to
be superior to the site used by the
trust II is a splendid opportunity.

PITNEY A BASEBALL STAR.

There was no man better pleased
over the appointment of Chancellor
Mahlon Pitney to be justice of the
United States supreme court than
Michael ]. Ryan, a fireman of No. 4
engine company of this city. "They
spoiled a big league ball player in
making Pitney a lawyer; but he's
made good at the law, as he would
have in baseball" was Mixes com
ment.
In the early sos Dover had a base
ball team that beat everything around
the state. Dover needed crack
pitcher and Ryan was sent for and
became deputy marshal of the town
and began to play ball. The first
game he pitched he met Mahlon Pit
ney. then covering the first bag for
Dover.
"Td seen men cover first many
times says Ryan, but that big fell
low was something new. He was all
there and had everything the much
touted stars have today, except a
glove. Like all men of that day. he
played with bare hands. I've seen
all the stars play first and never yet
have I seen a man who beat Pitney
at it."-Philadelphia Record.

MAKING HEADWAY.

The suffrage street meeting held
here Saturday was a spectacle that
should make men think. There were
things about that meeting that should
dispel some old time notions about
the suffrage movement and give peo-
pie true idea Of the move as It is
now being carried on.
The old time idea Of the suffrage
fight was that it was carried on by
a few erratic women and that the
average woman had no interest in
the matter or was perhaps opposed
TO the move. In times gone by that
conception may have been correct.
But Il holds good no longer.
The meeting Saturday gave evil
dence that the suffrage campaign IS
not in the hands OF cranks or faddists
but OF representative women. The
crowd was addressed by a woman
who gave no rabid transforming
talk but made instead an eloquent
womanly appeal for votes for women.
Such an appeal made under such
conditions could not help being ef-
fectiye. 1t was a talk such as men
like TO hear who are thinking OF vot-
ing for equal suffrage. Such men
want TO know that representative
womanhood favors the move. The
thing Is not a question of the right

FOR WOODROW WILSON.

The fact that 16 democratic Unit
co States senators. Senator Chamber
lain among the number, favor the
nomination by the democrats of Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson should be in
fluential with Oregon democrats
when they express their choice for
president on April 1s.
The senator's who are supporting
Wilson know the type of man he is
and they know his opponents. They
know the forces that are at work not
only to name a reactionary as the re-
publican candidate for president but
to throw the democratic nomination
also to the standpatters. They do
not want those forces to succeed in
their move for they are working to
thwart fhe true purposes of demo-
cracy-to turn the stream into un-
natural channels.
II the democrats of this state want
the democratic party to become a vi
tai, moving force in the affairs of
tire country they should work to
make 1t the progressive party by
naming Governor Wilson as the par
ty's candidate for president. II the
democratic party cannot become the
progressive party there is little ex-
cuse for its existence. Under the
leadership Of Taft and his followers
the republican party answers all the
purposes Of a reactionary party.
In the early days Of the American
republic the democratic party was
the party Of the people. Whether it
will be such party during the com
ing presidential election or merely
Wall streets Party No. will be de-
termined at Baltimore. Oregon
democrats will have an opportunity
II express their sentiments on April
1s. They should vote for Woodrow
Wilson and progressive democracy.

a NEW USE FOR sUBwAYs.

Paris may soon have its Metro
letter" in addition to its petit bleu.
Somebody with an imagination has
suggested that the extensive system
of the Metropolitan Subway be used
in combination with pneumatic pos
tai tubes. II that idea Is carried out,
your Partisan will simply drop his
letter into a box at a subway sta
ton. have it transmitted by the Met
ropolitan to the subway station near
est its destination, and then forward
ed by pneumatic tube. To be sure,
all this means the employment Of
more men, both at the subway station
20 handle the mail and on the trains
To sort the letters.
If that system is ever carried into
effect, Paris will have an additional
postal service, somewhat slower
than the petit bleu of the pneumatic
tube. and somewhat faster than the
ordinary letter distribution. At pres
ent, the average Partisan tube letter
is delivered in one and one-quarter
hour after II is posed. and from four
to five hours in the ordinary way.
The Metro-letter could be sent in two
hours at a cost less than that Of a
pneumatic letter and somewhat more
than that OF a regular letter.
Here we have a suggestion which
might be well worth carrying out in
American cities provided with sub
ways To be sure, no American city
has a pneumatic tube system COM
parable with that OF Paris or Berlin,
but on the other hand vast amount
OF time could be saved IL the sub
ways were used as an aid to the post
office department.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

VOTES FOR WOMEN.


IN the beginning of our actual work
in the campaign for woman suffrage
it is of vital importance that We keep
the issue ever before US.
This one thing, votes for women, is
the object. the one object, now.
The women of oregon do not have
the vote; until they have that they
should know no party. republican,
democratic. prohibition, socialist, par
ty names offall sorts stand together.
1t is not likely that any party will en-
tirely ignore the issue and one vote
for US is as good as another. Party
politics are no part of today's work.
Oregon men are saying, more of
them than ever before, If women
want to vote we are willing. Our
first business is to show them unmis-
takably that We want the ballot
