tory last night when the election COM
missioners removed John P. McGrath
of 3647 Wallace street, from the posi-
ton of democratic election Judge in
the fourth precinct of the fifth ward.
The board will recommend further
punishment to County Judge Owens.

night McGrath was drunk and used
language that wasn't fit to use in any
woman's presence"
Policeman Thomas G. Coffey and
Harry G.. Smell Of the sixth precinct
station, Miss Walshs bodyguard, testi-
fed McGrath referred to his colleagues
as blank, blank old buns
Where's the Red Blood?
Il always had an idea there was so
much red blood in that district that If
any man used such language before a
woman he would be smashed In the
face commented Election Commits
sioner Czarnecki. ..
Patrick J. Fox, Patrick Ryan, and
Ewald Oehl, judges and clerks, sub
Stantiated Miss WalSh'S testimony.
McGrath's only defense was that he
didn't know what he did or said and
was sorry.
Judge Owens recently sentenced
Joseph McDonaugh, 3647 Wallace
street, to six months in the Bridewell
for striking Miss Walsh during can
vassing excursion.

scratching of the name Of demo

gested the appointment of a woman in

of disapproval from John Murray,
democratic precinct committeeman. He
promised harmony" in the future if
no woman was appointed.
The commissioners will hear further

DIR. BAILEY TALKS
TO AMES STUDENTS

Ames, Feb. 10.--"No man Is mt to pc
a farmer who is not essentially re-
ligious or who does not realize that ne
is the partner of the almighty IN
quasi public business" declared Liberty
Fl. Bailey, formerly dean of the Ne"
York college of agriculture, ana chair-

mission, to the students and facuily VI

",rhe farmer holds land in trust for
those who come after him." he said:
his business is to leave it more pro-
ductive than when he took 1T. NO man
has right to skin the land. The farm-
er must regard his work as a privilege
and his land with reverence.
That the farmer has in a single gen

as a buyer of goods on the same pas!s

the result of the tremendous changes
that farming has undergone. NO Longer
is he in an economic class by himself
and he must reorganiZe his business
with efficiency to be able to put ms

beef from Argentina, or wheat from

DR.. Bailey paid high tribute to Iowa
state college which he said is known
throughout the world as a leader in the
great system of agricultural and INDUS

other things besides farming If he is to

improve society" With much emphasis
Dean Bailey expressed satisfaction that
home economics courses are offered at

partner on the farm, said he. and home
economics is an integral part of any

people for farm life.

COMMITTEE HAVING GOOD Sue
CESS IN GETTING DELEGATES.
SPECIAL SLEEPER IS PROMISED
One and One-Third Fare Promised
and Car for Use of Delegates While
at Eugene Promised by S. P.-You
Had Better Arrange to Attend.

The committee in charge of getting
Ashland delegates to go to Eugene
on February l9 to attend the big de-
Velopment meeting reports progress,
and will in a few days be able to tGl
as to the number that will attend.
From advices received this meet
ing will be the elimination of the
campaign which was begun several
months ago under the auspices of the
Portland Commercial Club, and it de-
wolves upon Ashland citizens to at
tend this meeting. The statewide
exhibit which it is proposed to be
placed in the Gateway City means
much toward Oregon's development
in 1915 and we must show our ap-
probation of the fact that this state
building is to be located at Ashland.
The committee announces that a
one and a third fare has been grant
ed, and that the Ashland delegation
will leave this city on, February IS
at p. m. A special Pullman sleeper
will be provided, which will be de-
tached at Eugene, and delegates may
make this their home as it will be
open for them at all times. AS for
the return journey, delegates may re-
tire in the Pullman any time in the
evening. The sleeper will during the
night be attached to the train, which
will arrive at Ashland at 11:35 on
the morning of Friday, the goth. II
is estimated that SIS will cover all
expenses, including sleeper and meals
Some of the citizens who have de-
cSded to go to Eugene say that the
Ashland band will greet the delegates
on their return and that autos will
carry them to their homes. providing
they bring home the bacon, but thai

Disapproyes VESTS Pardon.

Eugene Guard: At Ashland the
other day Governor West pardoned
several high school students, says the
Record, who played hockey" in or
der that they might attend the dedi-
cation services at the armory. Full
details are not given in the story. but
this application OF the pardonine
power is far more questionable than
that of freeing prisoners from the
penitentiary. In the latter there is
the defense of human brotherhood.
In the pardoning of students there is
little but upholding the students in
rebellion against the authority of
their teachers.

Workmen's Compensation
Law Is Discussed FullV

The causes leading up TO the adop-
tion of the Workmen's Compensation
Act were many and varied. For a
long time it has been generally rec
ogniZed that the old Employers Liza
bility system is entirely inadequate
and in a great many cases worked
injustice to all concerned. Under
this system, when an accident occurs,
about the only remedy open to the
employe is TO begin a personal injury
suit against his employer, although
they may be on the best of terms and
have no desire whatever TO enter
upon a protracted siege of litigation.
This method is open TO grave objec-
tions for other reasons, among which
are the uncertainty as to the date of
final determination, the nature and
amount of the verdict and the fact
that a large proportion OF industrial
accidents are not due to the negli-
gence OF the employer or his work
men, but are inherent in the business
and therefore, properly speaking, not
subject to judicia, determination
One of the worst features of the liza.
bility system is found in the. bittel
feeling that is engendered between
the employer and his workmen as the
result of frequent contested actions
for damages. The situation has beer
complicated by the attitude of some
of the casualty companies which at
tempt to deny liability or to settl,
for an inadequate amount, and b.
the activity of a certain class of at
torneys known as ambulance. chas
ers" who miss no opportunity to sti
up litigation and strife between tn,
employer and his men,
Another important factor in Great
ing general public demand for com
pensation legislation is the tremen
dous economic waste of the old liza
