Horizontal Increase.

DIES MONIES. Nov. 7.-Experts es-
innate that the percent horizontal
increase in freight rates demanded
by the railroads will cost the people
of the state million dollars annu-
ally. The interstate commerce COM
mission has held UP this advance
which was slated to go into effect
this month, upon the protest OF the
state railroad commissioners, COM
mercial bodies and shippers generally.
It is thought that the Interstate
commerce commission will refuse to
permit the increase which the rail-
roads demand because Of increased
operating expenses, until later the re-
port is made on the physical valua.
ton Of the railroads This will take
some time and shippers hope to head
1t off for the year at least.

Clean gang, He'll gang. Dirty Sixteen.
These are not the names of gangs In
the lower parts of the city, but names
taken by gangs of boys from respect
able homes. Many OF them have turn.
ed out all right, and they smile at the
names and tricks OF the former days.
Row If we would save the boys at this
time we want some big brothers tol
take hold OF those who are In danger
OF coming out at the wrong end of the
line. Men who understand boys, and
who will bear with their mistakes, and
bring them along In safety to the next
stage. That Is the Stage Of the
knight Errant" He is coming to him
self and he looks for victories to win.
His self respect has come to the new
development, and he Is beginning to
become man. He must have adven.
ture, but he begins now to show the
treatment he has received II he has
been rightly guided, and love has done
something for him, he begins to choose
the right adventures. He found the
gang stage was not moving rapidly
enough toward the construction OF
character. and that the seltishness
must give place to something higher.
Hence there comes time when he Is
hero. II you set to work rightly.
YOU can win him now to the side OF
right and make him man forever.
Trust him now, and take him into your
confidence He is no longer child.
He has crossed the threshold, and has
come into the realm Of the man. He
| wants to have some part in tNer direc-
/ ton Of his own affairs, and 1t may be
that II the church will counsel with
| him, and the parents take him into
their confidence, they will find what
wonderful work has been going on In
his mind, and that he is fitted to take
j his place In society.
4 At the conclusion, Mr.. Drum urged
the careful consideration OF boy train
ing classes in the city, and severa
gave their names as DESTROYS OF Joining
classes where they could get the

TANIMANY HALL
NEEDS RENOVATING
Entire New Deal, With Even Change
Of Name, Is Being Talked
About.

fUnited Press Leased Wire service.l
NEW YORK, Nov The posi-
bility of the springing UP of a new
representing the democ-
racy of New York was presented to-
day, determining action to be taken
as result of the Overwhelming &c
feat OF Tammany and the election OF
Mitchell as mayor.
A new deal is certain. A complete
sweep by the fusion forces left the
patronage entirely In the hands q
the reform element as well as giving
them the elective Offices and control
in every borough.
The same condition exists in the
state at large. but just how the new
masters will meet the new situation
is problematical.
One faction headed by the Younger
element. favors the financing of
new out and out anti-Tammany or
ganization They desire complete
new deal, not merely new cards in the
old game.
This faction believes there are
enough young men of wealth inter-
ested in the fight on Tammany to
finance new organization In fight
to wrest control completely out of
Tammany's hands and place 1t on
reform basis.
On the other hand the more con-
sentative forces believe complete
reorganization Of Tammany Hall will
be sufficient. They point out that
with Murphy ousted and capable lead
ers of the reform type in control, the
power Of the machinery Of the fam
GUS organization might be turned to
reform channels The name Tammany
also figured in the situation today
Even some of those favoring merely
a cleaning up of the old machine, In
stead of a militant organization tic
fight it, wanted the reorganization to
be so complete that not only would
Tammany Hall stand for new name
but all marks past be removed by
dropping the name which has become
famous from coast to coast. Various
titles have been suggested for tile re

In the basement of the U. P. church

Quoted by Mr.. Drum. He spoke Of the
boy in connection with the Sunday
school. and made some valuable sug-
gestions as to why there We're not
more of them, the reason why they SO
soon broke away from its influence
and declared that there must be some
change il they were to do much either
with or for the boy. Among other rea-
sons We must consider the following:
He is at the critical age when he gets
away from the Sunday school. He
knows there are some things that
ought to be taught and that he Is not
getting the whole truth. Doctrines are
considered, and he must accept them
though he sees that they are unreason-
able and do not fit in with life. He
has begun to reason, and he will not
accept anything simply because he is
told. Let him use his powers of rea-
son and deduction. They are given
him to use, not to destroy. He has
come to the time when he wants to
be independent, and does not care to
have all his thinking done for him.
Then often his teaching IS Indifferent
and effeminate. He is often taught by
woman, and however good she may
be she has not the boys standpoint. Do
not let women teach growing boys,
and boys who have come to the age
where they have some independence
of spirit.

The BOY and the Church.


He said that at the age of Adde'S
cence, the boy needed more careful
treatment than at any other tiNe. 1t is
time of crisis, physically, mentally
and religiously. 1t is the time of
rapid growth. The heart doubles In
size, the boy shoots up foot or so,
he cannot keep pace with the changes,
and often there is serious disaster. AT
this age, the girl will break more
dishes and make more mistakes than
at any time in her life. Boys and
girls have not the control over TINS
new body which God has given them
and we must expect mistakes and be
patient with them. At this time, the
impulse is stronger than the will, and
no argument or declaration can change
facts. 1t Is the same In the mental
realm He has not gotten hold upon
himself and he needs to do SO. 1T Is
the time when he says and does I'M
reasonable things. It has been called
the time when they are climbing fools
hill. 1t is the unlovely age. In some
homes where there is a two year old
baby girl and a sixteen Year old boy,
the baby gets all the petting and all
| the consideration when in fact, the
boy needs 1t more than the girl does.
This is the gang stage. He is be-
ginning to feel something of the COM
munity of interests. But he must have
the sympathy Of those with whom he
| mingles. Out of the gang stage he
may come to perfect unselfishness,
but 1t is not yet. They must all stick
together, and they will make war up
on any gang who is not with them. 1t
is a sort of secret understanding, and
| he will go any lengths to do something
/ for the members Of the gang, but he
will not do anything outside Of the
gang. Some churches and clubs new
er get beyond the gang stage. All
/ they think of is the gang and theiI
own little company. If their church car
not get some benefit, they won't &c
into humanitarian and religious move
ments. That means sooner or later {
dead church. Now the boy does no.
regard the gang stage as final. H'
thiuks he does, but he will get ava!
from that. 1t is formative, and thu
wonders the boy will do for the gan,
would surprise us. He sees himself II
trouble through the action of the gang
and he will bear 1t all without an.
squealing. He is on the way to some
thing better. He will come out al
right, and the gang break up at tn
partings of the ways Some of Their
will not have the right guidance an,
direction. and they will not come ou
the right way. but the boy who come
| into touch with the church should hav
such guidance that there is no douh
about the way in which he will com
out
| His tendencies at this time are be
| tween the savage and the civilize
state. Look at the names he gives t
| the gangs and the personal names h
| takes for himself. Happy Bunk. Toug

Thin Folks Made Fat.

Good, healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food,
together with natural action of the
organs of assimilation. Nine people
out of ten in order to weigh as much
as they ought and be perfectly
healthy should use Samose, the great
flesh-forming food and health re-
storer. Weigh yourself before COM
mencing the use of these tablets and
see how your weight increases from
week to week.
Samose does not contain a particle
of starch or pepsin, nor is it any
nauseating preparation such as is
usually recommended to make people
fat and which does not build up good
healthy tissues. Samose has valu-
able fleshforming properties, tones
up and strengthens the whole system,
helps the food that is eaten to be
assimilated in a natural manner and
absolutely restores health to all the
organs.
If you are not perfectly satisfied
with the results from Samose, McNair
Bros. will return your money with
out any quibbling.

quite a number of foreigners are en-

foreigners. My brother, who resides

ISSUES SPECIAL EDITION.
Oregon Emerald, Issued at Univers-
ity, Has Fair Edition.

The Tidings has received a copy of
the special fair edition of the Ore
gon Emerald, the organ of the stu
dents of the University of Oregon.
The issue was devoted almost eKclu-
sively to the matter of the proposed
referendum on the university appro-
priations. The paper goes into detail
on the proposed consolidation of the
university with the o. A. G. and
shows clearly the unwisdom of such
a move. 1t could have gone a little
farther and showed the foolishness
of trying to give all the normal
training needed in the state in one
normal school The same logic which
goes to the support of the university
as a separate institution goes for the
rehabilitation of the Southern Oregon
Normal at Ashland. The interests of
the two schools are identical as
against the proposed policy of cen
GraliZation and Ashland should sup
port the university this fall and the
university should throw all of its pos
sible influence to the support of the
Southern Oregon Normal next year.
