Saranac-Frank Cave was the
victim Of a peculiar accident week
ago. He was returning from work on
the road near the city. AS another
workman attempted to drive his team
past the one driven by Cave the lat

started To run. The team made a
lunge and landed on the rear of the
wagon driven by Vern Garfield. This
move in some mysterious may threw
Cave to the ground between his horses |

him Cave was found with a severe cut
on the head. From the corner of his
eye to the back of his head the cut /
appeared to have been made with a !

IDEALS THAT BECOME REALITIES
(New YORK World

tNew York World
President Wilson will get along
very well under Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle's epithet OF idealist The ac-
ousatiOn has been made before. Mr..
Wilson admitted the truth Of It when
he said recently that he had a passion
not for power but for justice.
Sir Arthur's further remark that
there is almost no limit TO the trou-
bic into which an idealist may get"
has no support in American history.
In this country great many people
are idealiSJs. Faith and hope are
woven into the very fabric OF our So
Cial and political life, ana have been
from the beginning.
Instead Of getting into trouble. our
idealists make trouble for the exceed
ingly practical persons who resist
them. samuel Adams was an ideal
ist who made New England too hot
for royalty. George Washington was
an idealiSt who Outwitted and con-
quered George III. Thomas Jeffer-
son was an idealist whose conception
OF liberty is still the aim OF all who
would be free. Abraham Lincoln was
an idealist whose vision of a race de-
iivered from bondage and a union
restored inspired million Of men in
arms.
Opposed TO great wrongs there
must be great ideals OF right. The
one true and enduring thing in con-
nection with the Mexican situation
tc which Sir Arthur refers. is Presi-
cent Wilson's ideal of a nation re-
lieved OF tyranny and bIoodshei and
blessed with peace and justice. Ev-
erything else that We see there. the
trouble OF carnage and oppression.

Multnomah county is the chief county
in the state in exempting this prop

listed By the assessor OF Umatilla
county but he Is almost alone IN this

in the state violates his oath Of office

SAFETY FIRST CAR LEAVES NEW

The safety first campaign being
waged by the Safety First society of
New York, of which society Ogden l..
Mills is president, received addition
al impetus Thursday. Sept. 10, when
the safety first car" started from
New York on it's tour through east
ern and middle western states, in
charge of General Secretary Fred
erick III. Elliott. Mr.. Elliott carries
with him letters of greeting from
Major John Purroy Mitchell of Great
er New York, to mayors of other
cities which the al will visit; also
letters from President of the Borough
of Manhattan Marcus M. Marks, Fire
Commissioner Robert Adamson, Chief
City Magistrate William McAdoo and
others, all of whom are giving their
hearty endorsement to the work of
the society. This car Is equipped
with modern safety devices and acces-
series which tend to make motoring
safer.
The car will visit Madi4n in the
near future.
Mr.. Elliott, who conceived the idea
of organizing this movement in the
. Vi PupAiN SalCty anu I'm 10
personally directing the campaign,
will call upon the officials in each
municipality, discuss with them the
subject of safety in motoring, traffic
and transportation problems, suggest
ing safeguarding regulations and or
dinances for pedestrians and users of
the streets and highways; offer aid
and suggestions to communities who
are interested in cooperation with the
movement by forming local Safety
First societies. Willard Creighton,
an experienced driver, alternates with
Mr.. Elliott at the wheel of the car,
which is a 1915 model Jeffery.
The enforcing of strict traffic reg
~ulations is being urged by the society.
For example, the eight-foot rule in
passing trolley cars, uniformity OF
speed laws, the carrying of fire ex-
tinguishers, the establishment o;
rotary traffic systems at intersections
