Sherman was Unconscious when
the end came and had been in that
condition for several hours. All
members of the immediate family
Witnessed the final scene. Besides
Mrs. Sherman and her three sons and
their wives, X. M. and Thomas Sher-
man, brothers, and Mrs L. B. Moore
and Mrs. II. j. Cookingham, sisters
of Sherman, were at the bedside.
Soon after Sherman's death DR..
F. n Peck, the attending physician,
issued statement which, after stat
ing the facts concerning the death,
concludes: He died in an uraemio
coma as a result of Bright's disease,
heart disease and arteric anterior
sclerosis."

Some Suffrage Facts.

One million women in the United
States have full political rights.
Utah, a suffrage state, has the
largest proportion of home-owners
of any state in the Union.
In Denver the women cast SO per
cent of the vote in the large resi-
dence wards, and only per cent in
the slum wards.
In most states about GO or s. per
cent of the men vote. In Wyoming
80 per cent of the women vote. In
Colorado so per cent of the women
register and ~ per cent vote. In
Idaho 40 per cent of the total vote
is cast by women, though women are
in the minority in that. state.
In Colorado in the first eight
months after women were enfran-
chised more books on political econ
omy and ethics were sold than in the
whole 81 years previous.
In Seattle there were never 100
women devoting themselves to the
suffrage campaign, but $4,000 wom-
en- registered at the first election.
And so per cent of the women voting
in Seattle this year were married
women-women of the home.
Where women have voted the
longest, divorce is only one-eighth as
great as in similar states where they
do not vote
About 10000 women voted in
Denver at the last election, and of
these only 400 could be connected
with any bad element.
There is no nation, no state, no
city where women vote where the
vote of the undesirable women even
remotely approaches that of the
women of good repute.

old PUBLICATION DAYS
Tidings RecOnsiders Change of Day
of Publication to Avoid Embar-
RAISING Contemporary.

Inasmuch as the publication of the
Tidings on Tuesday and Friday
would seriously embarrass the Ash
land Record inf the effort to gather
any heretofore unpublished news,
the management has decided to re-
tain its old publication days. Broth
er Wolf called attention to the fact
that it would seriously interfere with
the Record, and as the Tidings man
agement has no desire to be unfair
to a competitor, it was decided to re-
tain the old publication days.

PREDICTS ELECTION OF ROOSEVELT
DR. COE PROGRESSIVE NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN FOR OREGON
GIVES REASON FOR BELIEF In ELECTION OF The
PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES

DR.. Henry Waldo Coe, national
progressive committeeman, is in
town from Portland interviewing the
local Bull Moose management rela-
tive to the national political situa-
ton, and expresses himself as well
pleased with what has been and is
being done by the progressive lead
ers in the campaign in this section.
DR.. Coe reports a steady move
ment to Roosevelt during the past
two weeks all over the country.
In a telegram just received from
the national committee, Maine, YER
mont, New Hampshire and the New
England states are reported as abso-
lutely safe for Roosevelt and John
son. The national committee says
special campaign is this week on
in New York and New Jersey and
that the best indications point to a
progressive victory in both these
states. The democrats have sent
Wilson out on a rush order talking
campaign through his own state,
showing their own anxiety over the
New Jersey campaign. Governor
Fort of New Jersey assures the ma
t'onal progressive committee that the
state is safe for Roosevelt by 10000
votes over Wilson.
In New York, Straus, who made a
masterful address at the Madison
Square Garden meeting last night as
the progressive candidate for gov
ernor, has turned the Jewish demo-
cratic vote over to the Bull Moose
party to a very large extent, and
Tammany is bending every effort to
get this vote back into the Wilson
column, but all reports received at
the progressive headquarters in Port
land indicate that this vote has got
ten away from Murphy entirely. AS
New York has more Jews than all
the other large cities of the United
States combined, the import of this
movement is significant.
AS an example of how the vote is
going with the laboring people, g
vote taken by some labor papers in
Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and Spo
kane show total as follows:

TOu Nelle Makes Medford Newspaper
Office His Headquarters, Using

Despite the assertion of the sup
porters of Mr.. Tou Velle that there
is no connection between his candi-
dacy and the Medford Mail Tribune,
the Tidings has it on the authority
of Medford business men of unim-
peachable veracity that the genial
colonel makes the office of Mr.. Put
nam's newspaper his headquarters
using their typewriter for his CORE
spondence and practically directing
his campaign from that office.

Colonel Wood Speaks.

Colonel C. E. S. Wood of Portland
addressed the faithful at the Com
mercial Club Tuesday evening in be-
half of the candidacy of Wilson and
Marshall. The crowd was smaller
than would have been the case had
there been more time to advertise it
and had there been fewer conflicting
attractions Those present say that
he delivered a good address.

Roosevelt 997, Wilson 246, Taft 40,
Debs 227 and Chafin 81. AS the
laboring people have long been
claimed by the democrast, the fore
going vote is significant. 1t also
forecasts the fact that Wilson is to
lose democratic votes both 20 Debs as
well as to Roosevelt
The poll recently taken in Baker
City under the auspices of the Baker
City Herald tells the same story.
This was formerly a democratic
stronghold. The totals are: Roose-
welt 327, Wilson 2O7, Debs 2O9, Teft
90, Chaffin 8.
A vote of one of the Portland G..
A. r. posts showed 81 per cent of the
votes for Roosevelt, being condition
among the Union veterans similar to
the vote among the Confederates
down south. The Confederate Vet
erans' Union at Ada, Okla, in a test
ballot showed 1 vote for Taft, vote
for Debs; 2S votes for Wilson and
100 votes for Roosevelt
The move from the labor demo-
| Gratis is shown by ballot taken in
Portland cigar factory where the
voters were 16 democrats, l republi-
can and socialists, where the test
ballot showed all but the socialists
as for Roosevelt.
The biggest surprise is going to be
in the south, where hard fight is
being made for Roosevelt In one
county in Georgia more than 1000
farmers have Joined a Roosevelt CLUB.
The Portland Commercial Club re-
Gently organized Roosevelt club of
200 members, which club is doing
work for the head of the ticket, inde-
pendent of the progressive party
committees. At large banquet Civ
en- at the Commercial Club last week,
of which no report was printed in
the Portland Taft and Wilson papers,
filling the dining room, democrats,
republicans and progressive party
men made speeches for Roosevelt
and Johnson, saying that while they
differed in politics, they were all for

Feast of All Saints at Our Lady OF
the Mountain


Friday the Catholics of the world
gather round the affairs of their
church to honor the great Christian
heroes who devoted their lives or
laid n EN- down in blood for the sake
of God, of their fellow man or of
their conscience. Every day the
church honors some one of these no,
BILE dead by name. In baptism every
Catholic child is named after some
one of these heroic souls in order
that they might always have before
their minds eye an ideal for imita-
ton, but lest some should be forgot
ten the church sets aside one day for
the honoring of all those souls who
have persevered until the end and
won heaven.
By special privilege of Most Rev
Archbishop Christie the Holy Sacra-
ment will be exposed for the adora-
tion of the faithful from the
o'clock mass until the end of the
evening service.
In the evening a lecture telling
why and how Catholics honor the
saints will be given. There are many
erroneous opinions of this devotion
of Catholics, it being one of their
practices which is generally in
stanced as proof that they are idol
aters.
All welcome at services. High
mass at s a. m. Lecture at s p. III.

The foreign trade OF the United

This applies to exports and imports,
making due allowance for the time OF

Building improvements are on a
larger scale than ever before. In no
other year did the permits Issued In
the principal cities, lit the SIX months
from January to June inclusive, reach
such figures as those which have been
recorded In 1912.
There Is an excellent prospect that
TIE value and bulk OF the most i'm.
portant crops will make new total
this year. Some will fail to reach the
best figures OF other years, but these
deficiencies are more than Offset by
the splendid promise of other staples.
Final records for the year are likely
&c show that the railroad tonnage and
the lake vessel traffic have both sur.
passed all former figures. Bank clear.
ings arc setting new high.water

1t is going to take lot of political
unrest and doubt about the future of
legislation and government policies
TO check the momentum which the
country has gained and slow down the
progress OF trade and industry. The
American people never looked more

enterprise and wisdom, whether IN
