In 1914 every state that voted down
suffrage went as overwhelmingly re-
publican.
Candidate Hughes didn t vote in 1914
when New York voted OH equal suf-
frage.
In 1896 William Jennings Bryan had
the solid support of all organized labor
except the railroad brotherhoods. These
brotherhoods were against him. In 1916
the brotherhoods are with President
Wilson half million strong. In 1896
10000 votes properly distributed would
have given the electoral college to Bry-
an.
The New York Post, an ardent Hughes
supporter, says their candidate is the
limit.
Jane Adams, whom Roosevelt char
acterized America IS Greatest Citizen -
says "President Wilson will have my
support as ardently as gave it to Col.
Roosevelt in 1912"
F. d. Underwood, president of the
Erie Railroad company and Judge Sam.
uel b. Lovett, chairman of the board
of directors of the Union Pacific sys-
TEN, have both said "Most emphati-
cally do endorse President Wilson Is
policies"
! In 1912 when Teddy wanted his vote
Hughes lodged. He didn't vote.
! In 1912 when Taft wanted the vote
/, of Hughes, Hughes lodged. He didn 7
vote.
In 1914 when the New York women
wanted the vote of Judge Hughes, HUI
ghes lodged, He didn't vote.
In 1912 some of the Oregon women
who are now taking a prominent part
in the Woman's party movement were
against equal suffrage and ridiculed the
suffragists. The things they said in
1912 were not ladylike.

Public Schools
Would Suffer

"If this amendment should be
adopted says Henry f. Reed, assessor
of Multnomah county, "Mortgsges
secured by land will not be worth the
paper on which they are written"
The amendment referred to is the
Full Rental Value Land Tax and
Homemakers Loan Fund Amendment"
the radical single tax measure ON ths
November ballot.
some of the principal sufferers in
this regard will be the Common School
Fund of Oregon, which has $4,000, 900,
or more than 81 per cent of its prinei-
pal loaned on first mortgages on land
"The Common School Funu has
played noble part in the upbuilding
and support of Oregon's s splendid pub
lie schools system. In less than 40
years it has earned in interest up
wards of $6,750,0OO, which has been
apportioned to the counties for tho
support of the schools.
"The impairment of this fund will
seriously effect public education in
Oregon to the extent of revenue now
approximately 100000 year. The
mortgagors will not pay their debts
They will say to the state: You now
have the total value of the land. You
keep the land and we will keep your
money, pay you ground rent tax, and
borrow as much more as you let us ON
eur land Improvements
Oregon still owns 624,00o acres or
school land. The single tax bill, as
drawn by W. S. U'Ren to force all
land out of its present owners hands
and into state ownership, specifically
provides that the state shall sell no
land. The measure would halt not only
the progress of education but also tho
physical development of the state.
The Single Tax bill, now named tho
"Full Rental Value Land Tax and
Homeseekers Loan Fund Amend
ment' is the first initiative measure
on the ballot.

Former Sen. Hansbrough
Renounces Hughes Party
and Will Vote for Wilson

New York. Nov. 4.-Anether stalward
republican of the old school-Henry
Clay Hansbrough, for eighteen years
United States senator from North Caro-
lina-has declared his support of Presl-
dent Wilson. In an open letter to Re
publican Candidate Hughes, in which
he suscribes himself "A Wilson Repub-
lican," Mr.. Hansbrough invites the nom
inee to suppose that he and the presi-
dent occupied reverse places.
"Suppose, - he says, ''you had been
president of the United States during
the period fraught with startling and
unexpected world events, and that
Woodrow Wilson should resign from
the bench and take the stump against
you.
"Would not such campaign on his
part impress you with the littleness in
his conception of the high duties be-
longing to your great Officer
Mr.. HansbrQugh then recounts the
great achievements Of President Wilson
his peace policy, tariff commission,
federal reserve act, rural credit bill and
eight hour misunderstanding that HUI
ghes had caused these to be enacted,
and adds:
"Had you exercised your best judg-
ment in conformity with the best inter
ests of all people, regardless of their
party affiliations, and Mr.. Wilson, seek
ing to supersede You as the chief exc
cutive of the country, were to declare
that nothing you had done was right
and everything you had done was
wrong, ask you if the result would not
be very depressing to you, patriotic
and fair minded citizen1
"This was the feeling that prompted
me, after listening to one of your first
speeches in this campaign, to declare
myself in favor Of the reelection OF
Mr.. Wilson.
"But for the fact that you are seek
ing an office, wouldn't you cast your
vote as / intend to east mine-for the
man who has done his level best and sue
ceeded in many big things, rather than
for the man who ignores the bigger
things and deals vaguely with the little
thingsg

credit expansion. To some extent the
new federal reserve system through its
elasticity aided initiation. So, too, did
the increased value of stocks used as
collateral Bankers here fully realize
the incipient danger of excessive eX-
pansion and are acting accordingly. !
Bank reserves have been materially re-
duced lately, the total excess reserves
in New York a week ago being down to
about s69,000,000, compared with $lSS,- !
O00, 900 n year ago. The new British
loan will impose temporary check
upon cheap money, but Great Britain
will eventually be obliged to pay her
bills in gold, securities, commodities or
service of some kind. Her gold we do
not want; her holdings of American
securities are becoming much reduced,
and war hitherto has checked her ex-
ports OF manufactured products. In the
latter respect, however, Britain is max
ing marvellous recovery, and today with
only half the labor that was employed
before the war the exports of the Unit
ed Kinugdom were almost equal to the
volume OF l9l4. In September British
exports were 43,000000 pounds, an in
crease of 100000 pounds over last
year, while imports were 71,OOOO00
pounds, an increase of 100000 pounds.
The nearer Great Britain comes TO norm
alizing her foreign trade, the more cas-
ily will she finance the war. Meanwhile
this country is steadily strengthening
its financial position at home and
abroad. Our banking power and prestige
have enlarged enormously, while all of
the belligerents have in these respects
lost materially. Even the primacy of
London is temporarily overshadowed,
and Great Britain, which for genera
tions has been the greatest trader, the
greatest carrier and the greatest bank
er in the world, is obliged to see her
preeminence in these spheres impaired.
In time she will doubtless recover from
her losses, and even exceed former
standing in these respects, but the Unit.
cd States has made very substantial
gains on these lines. and is practically
sure Of being good second, with Great
Britain Is lead constantly diminishing to
the United States.

This market has shown further sensa-
tional advances in both commodities

ROUNDED TO RECEIVERSHIP
 SWEARS SHIP LINE CHIEF

NEW YORK: The Southern Pa cific Railway Company so dominated steamship traffic in 1909, and "so hounded'' the Philadelphia and Gulf Line, organized to handle freight be- tween Gulf ports and the Atlantic seaboard, that he latter was unable to buy or charter vessels, and went into receivership. Such was the tes- timony offered before the interstate Commerce Commissioner Mayer in the hearing on the Southern Pacific's application to continue control of the Morgan Line of steamships under the Panama Canal Act. Frederick Groves, the Philadelphia and Gulf Lines president, was the witness.

Three Stages Through Which They

Three Stages Through Which They
 Pass to Reach the Earth.
 An article by Alfred Wegener ill the Scientific American offers an expiana ton of the marked difference of color observed in meteors. Up 10 an alti tudss of about forty-five miles the prin ci!n,l constituent cf the carth's atlnos ptere is nitrogen. \ second stratum of the atmosphere. extending up tu about l25 miles. consists mainly of by drugen. Stll higher. Wegener himself has sought to prove the existenc" of stratum consisting of an excessively light gas which he calls "geocnroni- um''
 When entering the atmosphere from outer space meteOrs do not become luminous in the very tenuons "geocoro ninm sphere" but only when they en ter the hydrogen sphere" and most of them are dissipated before reaching the nitrogen atmosphere. The largest trebaus. however, penetrate deeper and may reach the earth or explode not far above it.
 Dr. Wegener finds that the meteors tbnt penetrate deep enough pass through three color stages-yiz. yellow white. green mad deep red The great majority exhibit only the first stage in which the color lwhite. yellow sometimes reddish, is that of the in cundescent meteor itself The greer stage Wegener believes to be due tt the incandes,ence of the hydrogen through which the meteor is passing while the deep red stage is due to the inrandesrence of nitrogen in the lower atmosphere.

the Regular Republican nomination provided that the delegate can prove conclusively that Shackelford has no strings on him, and strongly intim- ated that if the Shackelford-Wicke Lham combination consumated their purpose at Seward he, Rustgard, would run for Delegate on an inde- pendent ticket.
 At Douglas, M. J. O'Conner, who has always been strongly anti-Wick- ersham, but formerly a lieutenant of Shackelford when the latter was lead CT of the Republican machine, is now working with Rustgard to defeat the nomination of Wickersham. Other prominent Republicans of Douglas, however, who were formerly anti Wickersham, are now working with Shackelford, and are pledged to Be- cure the nomination of the delegate If possible, this condition of affairs being brought about by the opposi- tion to O'Connor.
 The contest both in Juneau and Douglas is 8 bitter one, workers for both factions are busy getting the voters together, and an unusually heavy vote is being boiled in both cities. It is extreme.J difficult to fore cast the result, as both factions are displaying unexpected strength, and 1 it is believed the result will be ex- tremely close.

And the readers have asked again and again What is the L.ia Fail: Where is it. and what is its magic Iower: Those who remember the Fcnian tiasco some years ago. will recall the bat tlecry of the troops. "HO. for the Lia Fail!" The recovery of this Celtic tulislnan, however. would involve something more than a victory over some outlying province of Great Brit ain. for it is n part of the coronation chair in Westminster Abbey It is Il curious piece of stone. little more than two feet long. and is said to be the identical stone OH which Jacob rested his head when he had his mar vicious dream. It was taken to Ire land. according to tradition. before the Christian era. and its removal from that island meant the death of liberty and independence to the Celt.
 After century of possession 1t was conveyed to the Ioninn islands. to be used in a coronation ceremony. and was never recovered. The kings of Scotland seized and held it us their mascot. By Edward l. it was carried to London among the spoils of war when the Scottish kingdom began to totter. The son of Edward attempted to restore the stone to the Scotch, but already it had taken such hold on the superstition of the English that they feared for their country. and mob prevented It's restoration.-Exchange.
