IT Is THE TRUE SOLUTION.

Governor West. who has had close
and practical experience with great
public service corporations and the
regulation of such concerns, en-
courages the people of Pendleton in
the move for municipal electric
plant. He believes that ownership is
in Pendleton and points out that the
successful management of the water
system by the people shows they are
also capable of managing their own
electric business.
iy and it is sound. Pendleton has an
opportunity to secure a good electric
ficient in extent to generate seven or
eight times as much electricity as
this city now makes use of. The city
has a nine months option on the
proposition and can take it over if it
wallis " DO SO - pdDlc COll-
servative engineer has passed judg-
ment on the project and he finds it
to be both feasible and desirable
from a community standpoint. The
project is within easy reach of the
city as it will not take a vast amount
of money to develop such power as
is now needed
The opportunity that is now open
to this city will not be open long. If
the city does not act soon it will never
be able to get municipal electric
supply, because the power trust is fast
gathering in all available power sites.
The people of Portland sat idly by
and allowed their great power sourc-
ea TO be corralled by private corpor-
ations, Now every bit of available
power is in the hands of one trust
and the metropolis Of this state is at
the people Of Portland have awaken
ed TO the fact and are looking to
state regulation as a remedy. But
when they get regulation they will
find it has its drawbacks.
Pendleton is extremely fortunate in
having a chance to save itself by get
ting control Of power that win meet
the needs OF the city even should the
town grow to be many times its pres
ent size. 1t is a great opportunity
and it would be the heighth Of alb
surdity to pass it up.
Get the proposition in proper shape
and put it to the people.

COLLATERAL SECURITY"

A report of the sugar trus; prose-
cution now on in New York throws
light on justice as it is seen by one
federal judge in that city. The case
is being tried before Judge Hand
and the trust officials are accused of
restraining trade by getting control
of sugar plants and putting them out
of commission.
The trust gave a loan of sl.250, 900
to Adolph Segal, of the Pennsylvania
sugar Refining Company, and closed
the plant. Defending that action the
attorney for the trust held that in
taking the Pennsylvania company's
plant as security for the loan they
took collateral of a perishable ma
ture" The following is from the
report of the hearing upon this
point.
In order to safeguard their col
lateral and protect themselves from
having the collateral impaired, they
specified that the plant was not to
be operated said Mr.. Beck. "for TO
d. so, they figured, would have i'm
paired the plant. And 1 think your
honor would agree that the lenders
had a perfect right to order the plant
to close. for who would want their
collateral made useless or greatly re-
duced in value?"
L think you are right" said Judge
Hand. and unless Mr. Wise can
otherwise convince me, viii instruct
the jury to acquit.'
What a farce. Yet some people
wonder at criticism of the courts and
can see no reason for the recall OF
judges.

The English coal mine owners think
TO starve the miners into submission.
So they are pretty curt in dealing
with the men. 1t is course that
may succeed, but if the miners should
get mad as well as hungry it might
be well for some of those owners to
be abroad about that time.

HURLED IS FEET
MOtOrcycIist Hits Street Car
and Receives Fractured Knee.
NJ. p. McDuffy Injured Near
Entrance to EImhurSt.

The MulVane street speedway in the
southwestern part of the city received
it's fist blotch of blood this morning
when NJ. P. McDuffy, an employee of
the Bell Telephone company, riding
north on a motorcycle and an east
bound street car collided at the cor
ner of Mulvane street and Huntoon-
facing the Elmhurst entrance McDuffy
was thrown 15 feet from the car
tracks to the parking and he receiv-
ed a fractured knee and sustained
several bruises about the face and
body.
The accident occurred at 8 o'clock
this morning. McDuffy was riding
north down the Mulvane street motor
thoroughfare at high speed. A Wash
burn-Huntoon street car in charge of
Motorman Hubbard and Conductor
Humston was picking up speed after
leaving the switch at Huntoon and
College avenue. The motorman and
the motorcyclist saw each other too
late. The street car man applied the
brakes. McDuffy backpeddled and
swung his machine around the corner
in an attempt to slide up Huntoon
street parallel with the car.
The speed of the motorcycle could
not be "choked,'' however, and as the
front wheel edged over the car tracks
the fender of the street car struck the
motorcycle and McDuffy was hurled
in the air striking on his back Is feet
from the point of collision.
Carpenters, street car passengers
and workmen picked up the MOTORCYCLE
list and DR.. c. b. VanHorn, who lives
nearby, was called. McDuffy was ta-
ken to Christ's hospital in DR.. Van
Horns motor car. He is resting COM
fortably this afternoon. McDuffy lives
at 122 West Sixth avenue.
Observers stated after the ac-
cident that the blame could not be
place either with the motorman or the
driver of the motorcycle. The street
car was stopped half way between
Mulvane and Garfield streets. The
fact that Mulvane street, newly paved,
smooth, and an artery of southwestern
is used freely by speed
ing motors is the only cause that can
be relied upon. To residents living
near the corner of Mulvane and Hun
toon streets it has appeared marvellous
that more accidents have not occurred
at this corner. 1t is not unusual to
see motorists and motorcycle riders
shoot along this avenue at a speed of
40 miles an hour.

Good Sized Crowd at Rock

Probably 500 Topeka people went to
the Rock Island depot late yesterday
afternoon to hear the speeches of
Senator Theodore Burton, of Ohio, and
Isaac M. Meekins, of North Carolina,
who are trailing Woodrow Wilson and
faying both the Democratic and Bull
Moose presidential nominees in
search for Taft votes Senator Bur-
ton was in bad voice and after a Is
minute speech, gave way to Meekins
who fayed Roosevelt to the intense
delight of the Taft supporters in the
crowd. He branded Wilson as a free
trader and urged that his policies
were a menace to the country in gen
eral.
The tariff train on which Senator
Burton and Meekins are the principal
speakers, was in Topeka an hour.

Chief MEYERS STORY
Giants Catcher Gives Version of
Game for State journal.
BY John (Chief) Meyers.

We're just one day nearer the base
bali championship of the world.
had my mouth all set half dozen
times Wednesday to say we were one
game nearer. but unfortunately have
to wait till tonight now.
That worlds series pennant is ours
as sure as you're born. l regret as
much as the most ardent Giant root
er that we failed to win Wednesday.
But somehow 1 feel that we really
achieved more than we would in vic
tory.
we tackled the Red sox right in
their own oack yard, a spot we saw for
the first time and we fought them to
a standstiIl. We came back in the
face of a three run disadvantage at
the start and before the game was
over drove two of their best pitch ers
to the woods. I am not trying to
make any excuses for our failure to
win. 1 really acknowledge that we
tossed off victory on several occa-
sions when it had been sewed up
tight for any sort of real Giant base
ball We overlooked opportunities
time and again. But it was an ex-
perience that should do US a world
of good. 1t takes the sort of stuff of
which the Giants are made to come
through as our team did. If after
that first inning one man had shown
the least faintheartedness, our cause
would have been lost. 1 tell you we
have a lot of faith in Mathewson and
we simply could not see him beaten.
Every fellow on the team was full of
life and action every minute of the
game. I know I never worked hard
er in my life and I am sure each of
my fellow players can say the same
thing of himself
Mathewson should have won. He
did not lose. He will come back
stronger in the next game just as
Tesreau will come back stronger.

Chicago Tired and Hoarse.

Chicago, Oct. 1O.-Tired and hoarse,
Governor Wilson reached Chicago at 10
O'Clock today. His voice is almost gone
and the governor feared that he would be
able to do no more than greet the crowds
at some places where speeches had been
scheduled. 1t was also source of re-
gret to the nominee that he had found
his trip swollen into twice the size orig
inally planned. Speeches were inserted
by local committees and trains stopped
sometimes without giving the governor
any advance Information so that he was
compelled to appear unprepared. The gov
ernor said today this probably would be
his last big trip of the campaign
They don't want to hear me speak;
they just want to see me-" said the gov
ernor today. Somehow political meet
ings at which speeches are expected,
should be limited in attendance"

Fenway Park, Boston, Oct. 10
Twenty thousand spectators passed
through the turnstiles of Fenway
park today to watch the Boston
American League champions engage in
the third contest with the New York
Nationals for the worlds champion
ship.
All Boston paused to catch its
breath today. A reaction from the
exhausting excitement of yesterday s
IL inning struggle was inevitable, the
r ed Sox owners said, and pointed to
many empty seats in the outfield
stands as an evidence of this re-
action.
The playing of a game today instead
of tomorrow made it impossible for
hundreds, unable to adjust their bus
mess engagements on such short no
tice to attend. The reserved sea is

night had little effect on the infeld.

in the next three games as well, which
including the New York game last
Tuesday would make five games in

national commission. Secretary John
Heidler said that the players would
share only in the first four games of
the series and that yesterdays con-
test though a tie, would count as one
of the four games A rule to cover
the question of tie games was drafted
