| think that the swelling tide of
juvenile delinquency in our large cities
is in part at least accounted for by
this fact: During the last ten or
twelve years the mothers of America,
living in those larger cities especially,
have not been wearing petticoats
enough to give kid good handhold
in times of stress and temptation.
And you, my younger sister, be-
lieve me, if all those endearing young
charms, which so fondly we gaze on
today had been exhibited with an
equal degree of publicity fifty years
ago, some of your worthy old grand
mothers would have died in convul-

DR.. JAMES M'LAREN.
Little Advertised But Prominent in
ChautauQua Work.

DR.. James McLaren, the dramatic
orator of California, has appeared ev-
cry day of the chautauqua, and will re-
main here throughout the entire ses-
sion. He lectures mornings, and hav-
ing a large number of splendid lee
lures serves as sort of general
utility man." For instance, when
Wedges non-appearance left that
hour open yesterday, the doctor was
called upon to fill it, and did so very
acceptably to the audience. The doc
tor has not been given much promi-
nence in the chautauqua advertising,
probably due to the fact that he is
on principally mornings. Nevertheless
he is considered one of the best at
fractions. He has delivered twenty
lectures in one town and nineteen
in another. There are few men on
the platform today who cever so
large a variety of subjects. A Pacific
Grove, California, paper says: '"We
have had nothing of the majesty and
and strength of DIR. McLaren's mark
since DR.. Gunsaulus was here some
fourteen years ago." He is an au-
thor and preacher of recognized abili-
ty, and has been well received. The
Doctors lecture on "Soul Radium"
this morning was a brilliant effort,
humorous and inspiring.

THE NEW AMERICA"
Orator of National Reputation De-
livers Striking Address.

On Sunday afternoon DR.. Frank W
Gunsaulus, president Of the Armour
Institute of Chicago gave a large
and appreciative audience master
piece, taking for his theme "The New
America" DR.. Gunsaulus enjoys the
reputation of being one of this coun-
try's most noted pulpit orators. 1t
was one of his powerful sermons that
induced Philip Armour to endow the
Armour Institute with a million dol
lars. His address Sunday afternoon
held the close attention of a critical
audience. Following in brief, was the
substance of his address:
"An American citizen is a man in
search of his personality. The Amer
leans Travelled westward. They went,
not knowing whittier they went to rid
themselves of the institutionalism of
Europe; seeking personality in Amer
lea. -
The speaker gave a fine historical
setting, using the fathers of our
country as the basis. Men that ac-
complish things are monopolists.
Washington was monopolist of cour-
age, patience and sagacity; Franklin,
a monopolist of brains; jefferson, of
education; Jay of diplomacy; Mar
shall, of law; Hamilton, a monopolist
of finance. Socialists, communists
and other "ists," would recommend
a committee to consider the problems
which these men have solved, and
while considering solutions, the Brit
lsh would have retaken the territory.
"There is only one way to have
Socialism," continued the speaker,
that is, to make the people equal.
To make the people equal, we must
abbreviate their heads. Statesman
ship is creature of personality.
Great experiments in government, such
as the initiative, referendum and re-
call, require the highest type of per-
'onality. Church and family have
JAILED to make experiment safe. The
peoples rule dare not mean the mob
rule. The new American must be
'etined, educated, gentle man.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1914-06-30

for war this year. France has deb
of seven billion dollars and pays Al
per cent of her total income. The
United States has a war debt of one
billion dollars and it takes y percent
of the taxes for war purposes.
Ten years is. the life of a battle
ship, which has now come to cost
$15,000,000, and then it is obsolete.
1t costs 5000 for one shot from big
gun.
And when is it going to stop?
After all the battling is done, the
strong men killed and the debts in
cured, then six men sit down on each
side of table and settle. Why not
sit down before the war? War can
not be defended, only by those who
have selfish interests. The makers of
war material cry for it, and the eco
nomic leaders howl for it when their
private interests are being trodden
on, as, for instance, in Mexico. These
great leaders in finance are never
found carrying the musket, and it is
for them that the best men of ma
tion are caused to die, and debt piled
onto the shoulders of the masses.
The speaker believes that a colossal
blunder has been made in landing
troops in Mexico, and said that he
considered the lives of Americans too
precious to be thrown away for the
benefit of foreign capitalists. He said
that if a man ever needed the prayers
of a people, it is the President of
the United States in the Mexican
trouble, for tremendous pressure is
being brought to force the United
States to war.
