The war has started. Just previous
to a preparedness luncheon at the
Metropolitan Club in Washington, yes
terday, at which expos tina ster- Gem
eral George Won l. Meyer was to be a
guest of honor. he accepted the invita-
tion of TruXton Beale to settle a little
argument on the sidewalk in front of
the club house. Hostilities began
promptly, and DIR. Carey T. Grayson,
the Presidents physician. who happened
TO be at the club house. treated Mr..
Meyers eye. 1t is not stated who re-
placed the patch of skin removed from
Mr.. Beale's forehead. The ex-Postmas-
ter-General did not permit the little af-
fair of the curb to interfere with his
luncheon engagement After his clothes
had been busted and his eye cared for,
he calmly entered and took his seat.
Yet we have people who insist that
Americans have lost their fighting
spirit.

PHILIPPINE FREEDOM

MOT satisfied with mixing things
IN elsewhere throughout the world
the Wilson administration now
proposes to throw the Philippines in
10 the vortex of disaster by declaring
the archipelago free not later than
1920. 1t is stated in dispatches from
Washington that the President has
given his approval to an amendment
TO the Philippine government bill, now
pending in the Senate, which provides
for the independence of the islands
in from two to four years: this in
spite of the warning of ex-President
Taft and others who have an init
mate knowledge of the forces at work
in the islands concerning the unpre-
paredness of the natives for indie
pendent rule.

Charles d. Hilles, chairman of the
Republican National Committee. is not
disturbed over the proposed swing
around the circle by President Wilson. He
believes that the European conflict is
the only mainstay of the President, and
that outside of the parrot-like state
ment that "he has kept us out of the
war" there is no argument to offer for
his reelection. Mr. Hilles and other
leaders of the Republican party through
out the country express the conviction
that 1916 is to be a Republican year,
and that the next President will repre-
sent the party of protection and pros
perity.

believe, why has the President DEEM
ed it necessary to create an expensive
board of tariff commissioners and in
doing so incidentally admit that some
of the schedules now in effect should
be revised?
The truth is that the Record and
other Democratic newspapers see in
the tariff one of the great issues of the
coming campaign and they are doing
whatever lies in their power to dis
count it in advance. A large major
ity of the people of this country un-
questionably believe in the necessity
of a protective tariff. but by pro-
tective tariff they do not mean law
designed to favor capital at the ex-
pense OF labor. but rather regula-
tive measure that shall do no more
scale of America as against the cheap
competition of Europe and at the
same time guarantee steady work for
both capital and labor. That is what
a protective tariff means and that is
the kind of a law the Republicans
mean TO enact next year.
The President, however. has COM
pletely reversed himself on the> tariff
and there is evidence that the Demo-
cratic party, which disregarded the re-
ports of the tariff board appointed by
President Taft and refused to make
appropriations to continue this board
in existence. is preparing to follow
suit.
According to the Presidents plan, as
authoritatively outlined at Washing
ton. the functions of the tariff COM
mission. which is to be ''nonpartisan,"
will be as follows:
To investigate the administrative
and fiscal effect of customs laws
heretofore enacted or to be enacted
To investigate the relation be-
tween rates on raw materials and
those on finished or half-fnished
TO Investigate the effects of ad
valorem and specific duties and of
those which are a combination OF
ad valorem and specific duties.
To perfect the arrangement of
schedules of duties and the classifi-
cation of articles in the several
TO study the provisions of law
and the rules and regulations of the
Treasury Department regarding
entry, appraisement. invoices and
collections.
In general. to investigate the
working of the customs and tariff
laws in economic effect and admin
istration methods.
Finally, to inquire into the cost
of production at home and abroad;
collect facts and present to Con-
gress figures with reference to
partisan theories, but on which a
tariff law can be based.
Here is direct admission that the
Underwood law is not satisfactory even
TO its trainers; that protective tariff
may be. in some instances at least,
necessary. and that the tariff is still
very much a political issue.

If President Wilson's reported conver-
sion to the tariff commission idea has
been based upon the belief that the
adoption by the. Democrats of a scien-
tific method of collecting Industrial
data for the guidance of Congress in
the fixing of customs duties Is going TO
forestall the growing demand of the
country for a revision of the tariff by
its friends, he will soon find how utterly
he Is mistaken. On the other hand, ff
there are any pronounced protection
lists who imagine that the Presidents s
decision to put tariff revision on a sci

be opposed as inimical to their own
false position before the country and
run the risk of losing the support of

LOUIS HILL SAYS
ISSUE YET TO COME
That Issue He Says Is Wages
Of Employes---Cites Gov
erlment Hours

Seattle, WASH, Sept. 26.-'The is
sue at stake is yet to come, and that
involves the wages of the employees. -
That, in brief, is the view today of
Louis W. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, in reference to the
Adamson eight hour law recently
passed by congress.
Hill and his family are in Seattle to-
day following visits to the Pendleton
Roundup and the Rainier National
Park. He leaves here tomorrow for
Vancouver, B. c., to attend the eele-
bration of the completion of the Van
couver, Victoria and Eastern branch of
the Great Northern.
Hill declared that President Wilson
showed a lack of real understanding of
the situation.
"I have newer been aware,' he said,
''that our employees were ambitious
for an eight hour day schedule. As a
matter of fact we shall experience diff
ficulty in getting crews to accept runs
of only eight hours.
president Wilson would have us
believe that society has accepted the
eight hour day. I might call his atten'
ton to the fact that three railway
train crews are usually required to
handle mail trains manned by single
postal crew and yet l have not heard
and agitation in behalf of the latter
who are employees of the government. ,
Hill also cited the fact that in the
state of Washington two years ago the
people voted down a universal eight
hour law.

SAGE CHICKS GIVEN
RIDE THROUGH VALLEY
MIR. Albert Commanders
Autos and Shows Visitors
State Institutions

Through the efforts of Joseph H.
Albert, the Sage brush orchestra of 30
children from Burns, accompanied by
about Is mothers, had the ride of their
lives this morning.
Thirteen autos were commandeered
by Mr.. Albert and the party of As were
taken first ride around the city, and
then to the different state institu-
tions. While many of the mothers had
seen the beauties of the state grounds,
it was all new to the 80 youngsters,
whose ages range from five to fifteen
years.
Secretary of State Olcott showed
them where the Oregon laws were
made and Judge Moore of the Supreme
court gave them few words of ad
vice when they visited the supreme
court rooms. Warden Minto gave them
few views of the state penitentiary
and later they were shown around the
asylum. What interested the girls
most was the amount of food required
to feed the inmates of the various
state institutions. And next of inter-
est was the beautiful flowers. AS one
little girl expressed it, az sure do hate
to leave all these flowers and go back
to that dried up country around

fortunately some rewriting and cleaning
could not be completed and while it

sage chicks will not be here to see,
and it is too bad, for the youngsters
are so appreciatiWe and come so far to
delight the big crowds at the fair,
that all that Salem could or would like
to do would be but small compensation.
They are remarkably bright lot of
little ones, and the business men of
Burns, who when the suggestion was
made to send them on visit to Port
land and the state fair dug up $4,000
for the trip showed commendable
pride in the finest and best ''crop"
that any country produces. Their play

Railroad Men Heckled

Several lusty voiced democrats and

ed he would not be warned off.
Two thousand workmen were assem-

spoke. 1t was a noisy audience that
gossiped about ether matters so that
the governor win his frayed throat

as to labor but then, apparently by pre-.

phrases.

Wall Street CANDLES
Stocks viii Be HIGHER

New York, Sept. 26.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
The brand of excitement and enthus-
iasm which accompanied the trading
was not in evidence in today's opera
tions but the total business neverthe-
less was heavy with sales again running
in excess of a million shares and making
the seventeenth consecutive million
share session. 1t was an orderly market
in which price movements exhibited
great irregularity, but with the general
tendency, however in the best part of
the five hours of business in the direc-
tion of higher levels, especial strength
being shown at times by the steel and
copper issues and some of the rails and
few of the so.called specialties. A
vast amount of stock came out in the
day. Realizing sales were heavy and
professional traders made vigorous eff
forts to bring about materially lower
levels but the market 3 capacity to ab-
sorb offerings again was pronounced.
Reactions brought in good class of
buying. The failure of tlne heavy break
in the final dealings in Mondays mar
ket to find reflection in further weak
ness in the opening operations created
a favorable impression upon sentiment
in most street circles, while the ease
with which the market took stock and
the absence of indications of weakness
in commission house accounts strength
ened the idea, that eventually the gen
eral list of stocks would move to even
better figures than any so far recorded.

Princeton, N. j., Sept. 26.-President
Wilson east his ballot in the demo.
cratic primaries here today unrecog-
nized by the crowds gathered about the
polls and greeted by scarcely a dozen
acquaintances.
The president was one of the first
to reach the polls, only thirteen having
preceded him in the firehouse voting
booth. Immediately after voting he
left for Shadow Lawn in his automo-
bile.
On the way to Princeton, the presi-
dents party travelled over historic
roads leading through scenes of the
revolutionary war, particularly the
battle fields which became famous be-
fore and after the British defeat at
Trenton.
Along the roadsides, placards have
seen posted, telling of the battles, and
the president had the chauffeur drive
slowly as he read them to Mrs. Wilson,
