Shall We Educate Our Children?
by A. J. DICKINSON, ID.

Yes, the children are "ours," both sew
orally and collectively. All the children
belong to each of us, and to all Of us;
they are children Of society and through
them society must persist, and improve
with them. The property of society gets
its present value largely from them; for
the worth Of things today depends on the
use that can be made of them tomorrow.
So the estate of every old bachelor and
maid, of every childless man and woman,
gets it's present value from the chill
dren, and the promise of future prosperity
is incident to their coming and character.
Hence I am saying that they are our
children, it matters not who are their
natural parents bringing them forth with
travail, and nursing and rearing them
with toll; for society at large is the heir
to their productive worth and economic
efficiency when they are grown. Shall
we educate these, our children, who thus
so vitality affect our estates for good o.
i'll? Nothing will more certainly add to
the values of our wealth. now and in the
future, as the education of the people
who are to make up the constituency OF
progressing society and use it's assets So
as mere business policy, we cannot af-
ford not to educate our own children to
give increasing and progressing value to
our property.
But there is also an equity which our
children hold in the estate of each and
all of us. Society is fast coming to rec
ognize that the mere fact of natural
descent does not carry with it the right,
the exclusive right, to inherit the entire
estate of the natural parent 1t is rot
right that the few children Of a multi
millionaire should be the exclusive heirs
of his estate, simply because they came
forth from his loins; but every one, seized
of surplus wealth, is also under equally
sacred obligations to remember his chill
dren born to him as member of society
from the loins Of others. In the develop
ment of a higher social ethics of our
more adequate study of human life and
interests in these modern days, we have
come to see our relations to each other
as members one Of another; and this is

for permission to examine the tele-
phone. The servant. however, told him
that the phone was in good condition
and refused to admit him. 1t is known

Jew, who was arrested in the belfry
of a local negro church last Sunday,
and who was later identified as the

wealthy courtesan. had pal here with
him, and many people believe he is the
man who committed the robbery today.
The burglar who entered the Sanford
home is described by the servant who
refused him admittance to the house
across the street as being a man of
medium height, about 35 years old, with
light hair and blue eyes. He was at

cap rested jauntiy on his head. Mr..
Sanford has offered q reward of $3.50

local officials have wired his descrip-
ton to officers in Birmingham, Mem
phis, New Orleans and other southern
cities requesting the police in these
cities to keep a sharp lookout for him.

GEORGIA DEMANDS LIBERAL

With two days left before the national
election of next Tuesday, Georgia has
already raised the $4,000 pledged by the
state for the democratic national cleo
ton fund. Chairman John D. Walker
on Saturday night forwarded the last of
the money raised to the treasurer of
the party.
Georgia raised $4,000 for the democratic
party in 1912, and has more than doubled
that amount this year. A special fea-
ture of the contributions received this
year is the fact that over $4,000 of the
money raised was given in 81 donations.
The sale of Woodrow Wilson buttons re-
suited in a goodly portion OF this sum.
While the republican, the progressive
and the socialist parties have each put
cut a complete ticket in Georgia there is
not the least doubt but that the state
will be found with the other southern
states in the democratic column. One
cor gressional district, mountain sec
ton, may go republican.
Georgia will also vote on state Off
Gals on next Tuesday. A governor and
a full set of statehouse officials are to
be elected. In practically every county
local officers are also to be chosen. The
democratic primary was held on Septem-
Der u, which in reality is an election as
the democratic nominee is elected with
out a hitch. The republicans, progress
sives and socialists have a full ticket of
state officials to be voted on at the same

PROHIBITION LAW TANGLED

The court of appeals of Georgia has
certified to the supreme court of Georgia
that eight distinct constitutional ques-

now in effect. Probably not since it was

SO many questions for the higher court to
decide involving the legality of single
statute.
The eight points involved will be de-
cided by the supreme court at an early
date.

Atlanta reflects the prosperity of the
entire south. That business Is good

GERMAN SUBMARINE MERCHANTMEN
MAKES DASH FOR OPEN SEA

Baltimore, Md.-On the second an
niversary Of Germany's declaration Of
war against Russia, the German sub
marine merchantmen Deutschland set
out from Baltimore on return voyage
to Germany with a declaration of con-
fidence from her commander, Captain
Paul Koenig, that he would take her
home in spite Of the heavy odds she
would face when the three-mile limit
in the Atlantic ocean is reached.
The submersible was towed out Of
the slip where she was berthed 23 days
ago, at $40 o'clock Tuesday after
noon.
After getting into midstream the
tow line of the tug Timmins was cast
off and the Deutschland proceeded
down the river under her own power.
The Timmins went to one side, the
coast guard cutter Wissahickon to the
other and the harbor police boat Ian
nan brought up the rear to prevent un-
due crowding by the small feet of
launches that followed.
Capatin Koenig and his crew of 27
men embarked with the knowledge
that a man hurried to telephone with
message to agents for the entente al
lies that the Deutschland had started.
They knew how long he had watched
at the end of nearby pier, day and
night, but the little captain went out
of Baltimore harbor smiling and wav-
ing his cap.
His last words in the harbor were of
praise for America and for his treat
ment here by Baltimore customs au-
thorities. To Guy Steele, surveyor Of
customs, he said: "We came here du-
bious about our reception. We go
back certain that the friendliest of
feeling exists in America for Ger
many. You have been more than
courteous and the fatherland will not
forget it."
Captain Koenig knows that eight
warships of the entente allies are
waiting for him at the edge of the
three-mile limit, spread out in radius
of five miles.
"We shall have to pass unseen with
in that radius in order to escape" he
said. "We shall have to make that
passage under conditions not entirely
advantageous. Were the water at that
point $50 feet deep it would be easier.
We could submerge deeply enough to
pass underneath the warships. But
the water there is not $50 feet deep.
We shall, therefore, have to pass be-
tween the warships." I"
There was determined look on the
captains face as he expressed conf
dence that he would get through.

Injunction Order Against loagshore-
men Strikers Reasonably Modified

Portland-At the conclusion of a
two-day preliminary hearing on the
merits of the temporary restraining
order issued July 10 against striking
longshoremen, on petition of the San
Francisco & Portland Steamship COM
pany, Federal Judge Wolverton Satur-
day ordered that the injunction be con-
tinued pending further the final hear
ing to determine whether it shall be
made permanent.
In granting the preliminary injunc-
tion, however, he modified considera-
bly, the terms of the previous temper
ary restraining order.
In general terms, this order re-
strained the men from interfering un-
lawfully with the business or property
of the company, or with non-union
men employed by the company.
Judge Wolverton said he would per-
nit picketing on condition that it be
carried on peacefully. He defined
peacefully" to be without threats,
violence, vile language or any form Of
intimidation against strikebreakers. y

Advance Tip Given.

Washington, D. C.-The government
Secret Service was notified three days
ago that several enemies of England
had been employed by German agents
to preciptate just such an explosion
of ammunition as took place in New
York harbor. The informant said that
the men were Irishmen, probably
members of the Sim Fein.
What steps were taken to guard
against the catastrophe is not known.
In any event, they were futile. The
Secret Service now is running down its
clews in the hope that it will enable
the apprehension Of the criminals If it
should turn out the treagedy was
caused by human agency.
The information came from source
which in the past has proved absolute
" reliable. 1t failed to disclose the
names of the men in the plot and it is
not certain they can be obtained.
However, it is understood the source
is to be tipped" again, in the hope
that some further details may be Sc
cured which will aid in the arrest of
che men involved.

Explosion Wrecks Grants Pass
Irrigation Plant PLOT Suspected

Grants Pass, Or.-What is believed
to have been an attempt to blow up
the pumping plant which supplies the
South Side and Fruitdale bitches with
irrigation water at the dam of the
Rogue River Public Service corpora
tion. three miles east of this city, was
made at the pumping station early Sat
urday morning.
The night watchman at the pump
ing station had just stepped behind
some heavy timbers when terrific ex-
plosion occurred.
The turbines were damaged and tim
bers ripped off the dam. The damage
to the plant will amount to approxi-
mately $4,000 although the most SER
ious aspect at the present time is the
loss of the irrigation water to several
hundreds Of acres of sugar beets.

Oregon Will File for Share in
Government Good Roads Fund

Salem ~ Oregon's full share Of the
Federal good roads appropriation,
amounting to $4,000, for 1916, under
the Shackleford bill passed recently by
congress, will be claimed at once.
members Of the State Highway COM
mission and advisory board decided
Monday.
Governor Withycombe, in behalf of
the State Highway commission, within
the next few days will make a formal
request of the secretary of Agriculture
for the money which it is desired to
use this year, if possible. He will re-
quest Attorney General Brown for an
opinion regarding certain features of
the Federal law authorizing the appro-
priation, and then will tender his for
NAL request to the government for the
money.
Decision to ask for Oregon's 1916
share of the Federal allotment provid-
ed under the Shackleford measure was
made as a result of a conference of the
Highway commission with members of
the advisory board and a delegation
from Portland. The Portland repre-
sentatives were urgent that action to
get the money be immediate, fearing
that to delay until the legislature
meets might result in the states los
ing its allotment from the government
for this year.
Under the provisions of the govern
ment measure Oregon must match the
Federal appropriation with an equal
amount Of money, which is to be ex-
pended as may be decided upon by
state highway officials and the Secre-
tary of agriculture.
In matching the government appro-
priation, assurances were given by the
Multnomath county delegation that the
county was already prepared to expend
$35, 900 on road work on the Columbia
River highway.
S. Benson said that he would give
SIS, 900 for road improvement, and the
highway commission decided to allot
$4,000 remaining in the highway
fund for work on Ruthton Hill on the
Columbia highway, in Hood River
county. That leaves only 5000 to
complete the $78, 900 needed to match
the government allotment.
