PRESIDENT is RENoMINATED.
Wilson Tells About the Democratic
Party achievements.

Long Branch, n. j., Sept. q
President Wilson formally accepted
his denomination here Saturday with
an address recounting the legisla-
tive record of the democratic party,
a vigorous defense of his Mexican
policy, his dealings with the Euro
pean belligerents and an outline of
his views of Americas obligations
for the future.
With the members of the Motif
cation committee headed by Senator
James grouped about him at Sha-
dow Lawn, the summer white house,
the president declared the republi-
can party was "just the party that
cannot meet the new conditions OF a
new age" and that the day of Little
Americanism when methods o..
protection and industrial nursinr
were the chief study of our provin.
cial statesmen" was past and gone.
1--WE can no longer indulge ou.
traditional provincialism, said the
president. 1--WE are to play leading
part in the world drama whether we
wish it or not We shall lend, not
borrow; act for ourselves, not imi-
tate or follow; organize and initiate,
not peep about merely to see where
we may get in"
Speaking of mis- diplomatic nego-
tiations with the European belliger-
ents the president followed a declar-
alton that while property rights
might be indicated by claims for
damages, the loss of life and the
fundamental rights of humanity
never could be, with this statement:
THE record is clear and consis-
tent throughout and stands distinct
and definite for anyone to jude
who wishes to know the truth about
lit"
Immediately afterward he said:
81 am the candidate of a party,
but am above all things else an
American citizen. l neither seek the
favor nor fear the displeasure OF
that small alien element amongst us
which puts loyalty to any foreign
power before loyalty to the United
States"
Regarding his Mexican policy the
president reiterated that the people
of Mexico were struggling "blindly
it may be-and as yet Intellectually
to free themselves from alien inter
ests 'some of them Americans pres
sing for things they could neve,
have got in their own country" and
that he would dc, everything in his
power to prevent anyone standing in
their way. a. =. p.
1T is hard doctrine said he
only for those who wish to gel
something for themselves out OF
Mexico" At another point the presi
dent said:
| -hiotohCo nave III uOuDl ulduS
in this perplexing business but, not
in purpose of object" He declared
DIT another point:
Il am more interested in the for,
tunes of oppressed men and pitifu
women and children than In any
property rights whatever
At the outset of his references tc
the legislative achievements of his
party the president enumerated Tho
laws placed on the statute books re
lating to business including tariff re.
vision antitrust laws, revision oil
the banking and currency system
rural credits, rehabilitation of the
merchant marine and creation oil
the federal trade commission.

dane stockman was in the Rock yes

ed ewes and lambs which he sold to
Chas. and Bob Raney of North va

and informs the Record that it is his
opinion the stockman would be bene-
fitted by the election of Hughes and
return of republican tariff, especial
ly in the event of an early close OF
the European war. Mr.. French is
certain that If the present administra-
tion is in power after the war the

ADOPTS NEW SAFETY
HIGH WAY SIGNS
Company Feels That Signs VIII be A
Great Benefit to the Public and
Amply Repay for Money
Spent.

The o. W. R. N. Co. proposes to in
stall Immediately at important high
way crossings on its lines in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, caution
airy Highway signs. These signs will
be erected at a distance Of 800 feet
from the track on each side of all
crossings
After several months of study and
experiment the words Railroad Cros-
sing-Danger" were adopted. This
notice displayed in bold black letters
on a white circular target should
prove a most effective warning to ap-
preaching vehicles both by day or
night.
Statistics show there we're 1,086
men, women and children killed In
train automobile accidents in the U.
S. during the calender year of 1915.
This needless sacrifice of precious hui
man lives is most deplorable. Auto
mobile manufactures estimate that
one million new cars will be sold
during the current year, therefore it
is not unreasonable to assume an in
crease in such fatalities may be ex-
pected unless all powers and infuen-
ces combine to check this eveil.
The railroad company is anxious
to afford its support and cooperation
to the movement for greater safety
and it will feel amply repaid for time
and money expended in erecting these
signs if they will be instrumental in
preventing but one accident.

Senator Cores Defense.

In defense of the violation of the
one-term plank in the Democratic
platform, Senator Gore, in his speech
at Pendleton last week, said substa-
italy as follows:
well, it was our plank. 1t be-
longed to us. We put it in and we
had a right to take it out. I admit
that we have taken it out in 1916
But it was ours and we had right
to do with it as we saw fit. But the
Republicans are trying to get a
strangle hold on the lumber industry
of the nation and they won't even al
low us to have a plank of our own tc
do with as we choose. e.--Pendleton Tri
bune.

A noticeable improvement in the
north end of town is the electric
lights which the railroad has INSTALL

been erected about 100 feet east and
west of the building and lights will
be placed on these as soon as the ma

already in this vicinity will make q
good showing and the travelling pub
lie will be pleased with the improve

SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Supt. S. E. Notson. }

On the 18th inst, visited the
lone school. The building has been
equipped with venetian blinds, so the
light is easily regulated. The re-
gular lines of work were moving a.
long smoothly. An enthusiastic class
in manual training was busily at work
under the direction of Prof. Doak.
Miss Jackson's classes in domestic
art and domestic science were equal
ly enthusiastic. The domestic science
class serve hot lunches to those who
live too far from the school to go
home at noon. The new moving pic
ture machine was being installed.
This is a valuable addition to the
equipment. The library and labora-
tories have been brought up to the re-
quirements of standard high school,
The following day, l visited the
school in District No. 4S. Miss Leo
ma Waddell is the teacher. Twelve
pupils are enrolled, and all were pre-
sent. The school is occupying a pri-
vate house until the new schoolhouse
is ready for occupancy The new
building will be completed within a
short time.
Miss Josephine McDevitt teaches
the school in District No. "a. Eight
pupils are enrolled. A new encyclo-
pedia and closed water-jar are a
mong the recent additions to the
equipment, This school has a fine
flag, but the flag-pole is somewhat di-
minutive. However, the pupils and
teacher see to it that the flag is dis
played during the good weather. The
board is planning to purchase some
new desks.
In District No. 2, Miss Myrtle Mil
Ter and eleven pupils we're doing good
work. A new blackboard has been
ordered and will soon be in place.
This school has new flag. The
schoolroom has been re-papered.
There has been considerable talk of
erecting a new building, but it has
been decided to wait another yeor.
Miss Irene Douglass teaches in
Joint-District No. 4-39, near Heppner
junction. This school has three
standard pictures. 1t also has good
flag, which is displayed from an ex-
cellent tlag-pole. This school has
taken advantage of the Off. Of the
State Library to furnish one of tn
free travelling libraries. This is a.
excellent plan. The only expense is
the transportation, which amounts to
but little. The books are used by
the people of the neighborhood as
well as by the pupils.
At Castle Rock, Prof. ]. A. Gibbons
is still at the helm. The schoolhouse
has been moved to a more suitable
site. 1t has been remodeled so as to
have the light admitted from the left
side. The walls have been covered
with paster-board and then neatly
papered, This school has a Smith
heating and ventilating plant, fine
library which is kept in some excel
lent bookcases, a suspension globe,
set of weights and measures and some
good maps. The pupils were making
a large cement map of Eurasia.
At Boardman, Miss Clara Voyne is
the teacher. Eleven pupils are en-
rolled. A building has been rented
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1916-11-02

and converted into very cosy school
room. The room is properly lighted.
1t is heated by means of a Smith
heater. l noted good broom. a
floor brush, and drum of sweeping
compound. A closed water-jar has
been provided. The pupils seemed
very much interested. The program
was well arranged, showing the
study periods as well as the recitation
periods. An interesting educational
meeting was held in the evening.
Boardman is a new town, but the peo-
pie are determined to have the best
they can afford in the line of schools.

''WeIl, little one, and is marriage
so terrible now" asked Monsieur vi
dial, with a smile. And, as Angela
looked at him in terror, he added:
This is my son, your future hus-
band, if you will take him. Angela.
Yes, he is also Monsieur Vidal, and,
wishing to see the wife who had been
chosen for him, he has spent two
weeks in the village, trying to dis
Germ you by my description among
the other girls. Will you have him,
Angela?"
But there was no need to ask, for
Angela's arm was drawn through the
young mans, and he had given her
her first kiss, and, it is to be hoped,
his.
You are willing, them" persisted
Monsieur Vidal.
Angela turned a radiant face to
him. yes, papa" she answered.

'Lengthen your skirts" is the COM,
mand from Paris. We DO love our
brief little skirts, but who dares defy
Paris.
Pontine, then ew leather finished
silk, has captivated womankind. 1t
is a lovely, soft fabric adaptable to
street costumes or to sports suits,
and it is charming trimming for
cloth gowns. The miIliners are as
partial to it as the dressmakers and
many of the new hats are winged or
bowed or strapped with POntine.
Boots are higher than ever-high-
er in price as well as in altitude. Ten
dollars is not an unusual price to pay
for a pair of shoes, but you get lots
of leather button almost to
the knee.
The tiny tUTban of feathers which
perches on the ton of your head like
grandfather's skull cap is the hat of
the moment - but alas! only the
prettiest girls can wear it! Will it
be popular! Another hat the nrnttv
girl will love is the visor or Jockey
hat with peaked front. A saucy NAT
when it frames a saUcy face.

There's a military primness to this
afternoon frock even though it is
made of softest Georgette crepe and
ldstrous silk.
The coat is flesh color Georgette
crepe with tiny tabs of ribbon.
Two heavy silk cords drawn
through pearl buckles form a belt.
The bone buttons match the crepe in
color.
The skirt, blue and cream striped
silk, is gathered full in cartridge
pleats and tits just short enough to
show an inch or two of the Geor-
gette crepe drop skirt.

Thirteen troopers of the Seventh
cavalry were fired upon Sunday near
the town of Temosachic and one was
wounded. The attack is ascribed to
bandits hiding under bridge near
the town, which is few miles south
east of MADEIRA on the Mexican North
western railroad. After a few shots
the Mexicans fled and the Americans
continued on their way. A small
group of Mexicans is fall 'ng in behind
the American columns as they move
northward, always keeping out OF
sight, but telling the natives that they
are chasing the "gringoes" from
Mexican soil. They stop whenever
the Americans halt and hide or dis
arm if Gen. Pershing's men approach
them.

Eighty girls were commissioned as
life guards to patrol bathing beaches
at the graduation exercises of the
New York training school for Saliva
ton Army officers. The corps is the
first of its kind ever organized by the
army. Col. William Peart, who dedi'
Gated the girls TO their work, said
they had been taught not only how to
save the life of a half drowned person
after being taken from the water, but
how to rescue drowning person, as
well as how to preach the gospel to
those they rescue.
