Great responsibility rests upon the
railroad commission of Oregon. That
responsibility will be

With the Malarkey bill in operation
the railroad commission will have the
task Of regulating the rates and SER
vice of light, power. water, telephone,
telegraph and similar public utilities
as we'll as the transportation bus-
ness conducted within the state. 1t
s. therefore important that the COM
mission be made up of men of ability
who will strive honestly to serve the
public. They should not be pro-cor-
poration men.
Clyde b. Aitcheson, who is candi-
date to succeed himself as member
from this district, has long been re-
Earded as the most capable man up
on the railroad commission. Fur
thermore he stands well with those
who desire lower freight rates and do
not serve the railroads. He has the
endorsement of open River leaders
and manifestly that support is not
rro-railroad support. Because he
has such support and has record
for ability the East Oregonian is go
ing to advise his reelection.
There is so much important work
for the commission to do it would be
folly for the people to weaken the
commission by retiring its most ac-
tive member The railroad commits
sion has done some good. 1t has low
cred the first class merchandise rate
from Portland to Pendleton from
S1.O3 to IS cents per hundred. It has
lowered the express rate on merchan-
disc from SO to 50 80. It has lowered
the grain rate from Umatilla county
10 the seaboard an average Of two
cents per bushel.
But there is much more to be done.
There is evidence the railroad rates
are still excessive. The Last available
report of the interstate commerce
commission shows that the O.-W. r.
& y. was making a net profit of $4,000
per mile That is six per cent inter-
est upon the railroad investment If
computed at $4,000 per mile which
sum Is much higher than the esti-
mate the railroad itself places upon
its property.
There is room for further rate re-
ductions. There will be room for
great reductions in the rates charged
by other public utility concerns after
the Malarkey bill is enacted into law
The people need strong commission
that will look to the interests of ths
public rather than to pleasing the cor
porations. II is the view Of this pa
per that the most practical step that
can be taken in this direction at this
time will consist in the reelection OF
Mr. Aitcheson.

PAPkE REFUSES

LOOKS AT SMALL AUDIENCE AND
 THEN WALKS OUT OF HALL

Billy Papke, the erstwhile Kewanee ThunderboIt and former middleweight | champion, was to have had a, ring debate with Frank MantelI. the Paw tucket slugger, in the New Star A, C., New York, last right. The fistic argument didn't take place, however, for the simple reason that Papke took a steamer and sailed away for Iiv CT pool, England, whence he will proceed with Georges Carpentier. perhaps.
 PaPke was a passenger on the Mauretania, which started Sa2 it's long journey at ] a. m.' today. Billy had booked passage on the boat. but un- til about 9 o'clock last night appar- ently had intended to box Mantell be- the club about g o'clock. He walked right in. turned around and walked right out again, stopping only long enough to ejacu1ate:
 Gee. what a bum crowd! You don't expect the champeen middleweight Of the world to box for the money there is in this l1ouse?' Why I could rustic more coin fighting suckers out in Kalamazoo. Fight a tough nut like MantelI for the measly bit there is here? Nix on that propositions It soft pickin's in Paree Ia. ta, Torlt Amt you wishin' me bon voyage ?'
 Oh, yes! Tom O'Rourke wished him a bon voyage, all right-but it wasn't Paris. On account of the late hour in which Papke ran out of the match a capable substitute could not be found to go on against Mantell- Par tiaIly to arpease the appetites of the fans, another ten-round bout and an extra four-round preliminary were staged.
 Paplze is scheduled 70 fight Carpen- tier in Paris on Oct. Is. Boxing Com missioner Frank O'Nei1, who was among tre disgruntled spectators at the New Star A.

 TIP OFF RED SOX
MANAGER WILL, TRAIN BOSTON BEHIND CLOSED GATES TO
 BEAT GIANTS.

[ Philadelphia, Oct 2.-Connie Mack wishes to show his appreciation of the training McAIeer gave the Ath- Ietlcs last year before the worlds s series, so the Athletics' manager will top off the Red SoN regarding the Giants weak points. During the present series in this city the Sox and Athletics will practice together and will map out new plays and signals for the worlds series
 There always has been warm bond of friendship between Mack and McA1eer and the shrewd leader of the Athletics has much to tell the Boston players of the Giants. Fossil ply no manager in the business has Manager McGraw sized up as well as Mack, not because he won the worlds series games last fall, but because he has always been a student of men.
 Mack wants the Red Sox to win. and it is said that he has a definite plan of battle in his mind that he wants to outline to Stah1 and McAIeer and that Ban Johnson, who put through the arrangement, ordered the Boston team to get all the advice that Connie Mack could give.

WOLCAST PICKS
 RITCHIE FOR BOUT
CHAMPION WILL HAVE HARD WORK DEFENDING TITLE
 IN NEXT MATCH.

After giving considerable thought to the matter Ad Wolgast has at last de- cided upon Willie Ritchie in prefer ence to Joe Mandot or Joe Rivers for his opponent at Frisco on Thanksgiv- ing Day. Of the trio of light weights who are hard upon his heels Ritchie is probably the most clever but the least rugged Quite likely this was the deciding factor that influenced Wolgast in making his selection.
 Wolgast put Ritchie to the test in a four-round bout last May and scored two knockdowns, although it was the champions first outing since recov- ering from his operation. At that. Ritchie's superior boxing skill enabled him to secure a draw. But WOlgast has little fear of a light hitting box CT, no matter how clever He figures that his rushing attack will always wear down men of the Ritchiere type. So far his figuring has been correct, as he amply demonstrated against Owen Moran, Frankie Burns and others whose superior skill was unable to slave off the knockout punch in the end.
 But there is a question whether the champion still retains his full quota Of stamina since his operation At least, none of his bouts since his ill., ness has served to demonstrate that he is as good as ever. Since Rivers was so easily defeated by Joe Mandot recently the champions narrow es- cape from losing to the Mexican takes

LUTHER M'CARTY SHOWS
 HIS DANGEROUS QPPERCUT

Reports of Luther McCarthys bout
 with Jack Mcfarland of Pittsburgh,
 which the former won in the second round, state that the knockout punch was a right uppercut. This was said to have been the blow with which
 Mccarthy demolished the hopes Rf Carl Morris. During the excitement which followed the downfall of the SapuIpa giant McCarty always posed for his picture earring his right pots- ed for this deadly blow.
 It was said to be his favorite meth cd of attack and to compare favor ably with even Jack Johnsonis noted jolt But for some strange reason the Missouri heavy failed to make use of the punch when performing in New York rings. He never so much as attempted it, much to the sur prise of the onlookers. In fact. no one could have suspected that Me Carty knew of the blow mad not his own head been lifted with it quite freouently. Possibly McCarty was so overcome by stage fright when ap- bearing in the big city that he suf- fered a temporary loss of memory. But more probably he simply owed his reputation for being an artist at to his industrious press a gent.
 It sounds much more promising to have the finishing punch described as a short uppercut to the chin than if the same result was described as having, been produced by a common, ordinary everyday right swing.

HOW JIM M'ALEER
 BOUGHT RED SOX
- FRANCHISE AND WILL CLEAN
 UP FORTUNE.

Brooklyn. Oct. 2.-The American league pennant is Bostons-
 It is pertinent at this time to, give 8 moments contemplation to the man in command of the American league champions.
 James R McA1eer of Youngstown, Ohio, has $2O0 900 invested in the Bos- ton club. Of this, $130, 600 represents his savings. The remaining $7O,0O0 was borrowed, without interest, from the wea1thiest men in the American league
 McA1eer tells close friends that for the past eight years his, income as season He saved his money and when the opportunity presented itself he purchased the Boston club.
 With $130, ,0O0 in the bank, it was easy to secure the $70,000 balance from Corniskey, whose players have made him rich, and who always regarded Jim as the games greatest outfielder. Now, if the Red Sox win the worlds series, McA1eer will not only get back all of his investment, including the s7o. .eO0 he borrowed from Conmy, but new players. A winning team is a gold mine, especially in Boston.
 McAleer tells, with small show of emotion how he has kept out of the
 One day, he says. Yerkes was go- ing bad-:very bad He had been off h1S stride for two weeks
 E' Better lay him off, hadn't you, Jake?' I said to Sta.11l.
 Guess you'd better leave this to me- was StahPs reply. I'm not en- tireIy bereft of ideas
 "And that was the end of it. Stahl is running the club and StahI is re- sponsible> for. the position in which we finish" says McA1eer.
 McAleer was 4 the greatest center fielder that ever lived. He was born at Youngstown, June 10, 1864, and be- gan his professional career with the Charleston club, Southern league, in 1886. He went to Memphis, then to Mil waukee, and 1889 signed with Cleve- land, where he became the fielding wonder of the age.
 Prior to McA1eer'ss advent. Jimmy Fogerty Of the Phillies was the games greatest. McAleer= was never a great hitter. but his marvellous instinetive fielding was the delight of the fans and his heetness of foot made him dangerous on the bases
 McAIeer, after a years absence from the game. when the Cleveland team moved to St. Louis, joined the Amer jean league in 1900. While not re warded with wonderful success as a he has always been consid- cred a capable, and by some, a great one It was MeAleer who saw in Jake Stahl the ideal man to round out the Boston infield and lead the red-hosed crew to the flag, and he was the one man who could induce Stah1 to return to the game, which he had deserted for the banking business

on added significance. All reports of the battle agreed that Wolgast was not the man of old in many respects.
 Ritchie has been improving steadily since he met Wo1gast in that four round tryout. He outpointed Man dot at New Orleans and did it in mariner that left doubt of his su- perlor1ty- Unless Wolgast gets over a few crushing swings in the early part of the battle he may himself be the first one to weaken. Ritchie is exceptionally clever on the defense and Woigast will have to be little short of his best in order to pierce the Californian's guard with a decisive blow. If the bout goes the limit Rdtchie looks to have more than an even chance of getting the decision
