A new type of the soap box agi-
tator" is now at large. One of them
was here Saturday
A New Kind and spoke on the
OF "AgitatOr." streets of Pendleton.
He was a gentleman
of leather lungs and strong voice
who harangued chiefly about the
hard times and business depression
that will ensue should Wilson be ell
ected. He did not believe what he
said. Neither did anyone else. So
no harm was done.
Nevertheless it is disreputable cam
paigning and it Is stuff that should
react on the Taft forces and hurt the
g. o. p. nominee instead of Wilson.
Such rant as that contains a menace
10 business. If it We're taken seri-
ously it would tend to make people
withdraw bank deposits and put their
money in old cans 1t would make
them stop all trading. 1t is just such
wild talk when persisted in that caus-
es panics. No man is a good citizen
or a true friend of the people who
INDUCES in such harangues.
There is absolutely nothing in the
program advocated by Governor Will
son to justify such mouthings. Gov
ernor Wilson is a political and eco
nomic reformer it is true. But the re-
forms he urges are long overdue The
country is suffering because they
have been delayed. The reforms ad-
vocated by Wilson will help the coun-
try and not hurt it. They contain
hope for all people save those who
have been benefitting by special priv
ilege. They contain no menace to the
prosperity of the country. The Will
son platform guards against extreme
action on the tariff 1t recognizes
that the business of the country has
been built up to an extent on the tar
iff and pledges the party to gradual
revision so as not to injure or destroy
legitimate industry. AS pointed out
here by Senator Chamberlain the
democratic platform calls for very

THEN HE WENT UP.

A clergyman who resides in Cleve-
land tells this story about himself:
my little daughter was feeling a
bit under the weather the other eve
ming and therefore had to be put to
bed early. She had not been under
the covers more than five minutes
before she called out:
Mamma, | want to see papa
Go to sleep, dearie,' answered her
mother. Papa can't see you now
I'm a few minutes there came a
pleading voice:
Mamma, I gotta see papa.
"I can't disturb your papa now.
He Is very busy. Go to sleep
There was silence for nearly
four minutes. Then the pronouncia-
mento floated down the stairs.
Mamma, am very sick woman
and I must see my pastor at once!'
Then 1 went up."--Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

MARSHALL'S MALIGNED FACE.

Mr.. William Bayard Hale, in the
Worlds Work for october says that
Governor Marshall ought to bring a
libel suit against the camera. No
living man was ever so outrageOusly
abused by the disciples of Daguerre.
They and their machines are in a
manifest conspiracy to prove that the
state of Indiana is governed by a
weaZen-faced manikin whose head, a
chinless appurtenance to pair of
gigantic ears, is about to slip down
out of sight through his collier. \
camera can lie worse than tomb
stone. Mr.. Marshall, in the flesh,
has ears the same in number and ap-
proximately the same in size as those
of others of the human family. He
has a chin in the usual place. The
pen is mightier than the kodak, and
the reader may take it on the higher
authority that Mr. Marshall is man
of agreeable, even distinguished,
countenance, erect of head, keen of
eye and compelling in manner. You
would not guess it from his photo
graphs, but he is urbane, from his
well-cut locks to his small, well-shod
foot ana the tips of his perfectly
manicured fingers. The taste that Sc
lects his ties is equal to that of Dar-
racq-or the Mr. Emmons of Rich
mond, Ind. who alone in the New
World challenges the Frenchman's
sartorial superiority. Robert Cham
bers and other authorities on details
of the personal proprieties would de-
scribe the Hoosier Governors clothes
as 'well-built and himself as we'll
groomed.'"

The Dalles, Ore, Oct. 20, 1912.
Editor East Oregonian:
Clyde b. Aitchison is candidate
for railroad commissioner.
In 1910, an act was before the Ore
gon legislature seeking to regulate
stock shipments over the railroad so
as to prevent unnecessary loss to
stock shippers resulting therefrom.
by requiring the railroad company to
make an average time of Is miles an
hour UNLESS UNAVOIDABLY DE-
TANNED.
The friends of the bill were willing
to accept reduction to II miles per
hour If 10 miles per hour was thought
too great.
The railroad commission, of which
Mr.. Clyde b. Aitchison was then a
member, fought the bill before the
Legislature and went before the COM
mittee and fought It there, standing
by the side of the attorneys for the
railroad to do so, and making the
same arguments that the railroad at
torneys made.
The real objection to the bill, no
doubt was that it simplified the
rights of the shipper, and made him
Independent of the railroad commits
sion, thereby fixing his rights, and
lessening the jurisdiction and power
of the railroad commission.

bill, | submit it to you, voters, that

the schools on a millage basis so as

JOHN SCHRANK'S BAIL.
Case is Transferred and the Bond is
Doubled


Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 1S.-The bail
of John Schrank, charged with at
tempting to kill Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt Monday night by shooting,
was increased from $1,000 to $4,000
by Judge Backus of the municipal
court.
The bond exacted by Judge Neelen
of the district court has just been
doubled the case having been trans
ferred to the municipal court. There
has been no effort by the prisoner to
furnish the original bail bond exacted
by the lower court and no reason has
thus far been given for doubling the
bond.
Unless unforeseen developments
arise which may alter the aspect of
the case, Theodore Roosevelt will not
be required to come to Milwaukee to
appear at the trial of his attempted
slayer, according to the decision of
District Attorney label
Because of the prominence of the
former president and tie demands
which will be made for his services in

Man Fires 32-calibre Revolver Wounding Ex-
President In Breast

Milwaukee, Oct. 16.-.Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt was shot and perhaps
seriously wounded as he was leaving
the Fitzpatrick hotel for the Auditorium
to make a speech.
Colonel Roosevelt's life probably
was saved by manuscript of the
speech which he delivered. The bull
let struck the manuscript which re-
tarded it's force as it passed through
into the fl esh.
The assailant was prevented from
firing a Sc ,ond shot by Albert H. Mar
tin, one of Colonel Roosevelt's two
secretaries.
Roosevelt Felt No Pain. o.
The colonel felt no pain at the time
the shot was fired and was not aware
that he was shot until he was on the
way to the Auditorium. His attention
was then called to hole in his over
coat, and he found that his shirt was
soaked with blood. He insisted that
he was not hurt badly. A superficial
examination of the wound was made
when he reached the Auditorium, and
three physicians agreed that he was
in no immediate grave danger.
The wound was regarded as super
fetal and the colonel went on to the
hall and began his speech after he had
seen the assassin arrested and taken
to the police station.
Henry F. Cochems seized the would
be assassin and held him until police
men came up. A mob surged around
the man, who apparently is radical
on the subject of Roosevelt's running
for another term as president, but the
police succeeded in landing him safe
