WILSON SIMI BF BOOKS, NOT PEDPLE-T. B„ “I Study Conditions at Clhse Range, and I Know Condi tions,” Says Colonel. < I i LAGRANGE, OREG., Sept. ’l2. Colonel Roosevelt opened a d:«y of campaigning in eastern Oregon here a speech before breakfast. LFrom his train the ex-president went to a ..üblle square, where he denounced boss rule and upheld the Progressive ’party the instrument of pure politick I am only in this’fight because 1 feel that neither of the old parties .-ares a cent about the people," said the .colo nel "My critics say I am in it only |(1 advance my own interests. 115 that were my purpose, I would fail. This Is not a one-man affair. It is an out growth of a sentiment that has gradu ally been gaining force in this country _ a feeling of restless discontent with the old parties prevails. The Progres sive party stands regdy to fulfQl its promise of improving the condition of those who are obliged to work for-their living. While we want the wtsalthy men of the country with us, we <ho not want the laws adjusted so that they alone shall get the benefit. If we don’t have uniform laws, to be of advathtage to every one. we will fall in our idea of popular government." Must Grapple With Problems. The colonel exploited his ideas of the minimum wage for women, alluditng to Governor Wilson as a student of books, not of people. My opponent, Mr. Wilson," het said, "does not agree with me that this .ought to be done. Perhaps after he has .stud ied it. aside from the books he reads, he will find that lam right. I doul’t de pend on books for my knowledge of conditions. I have stud.ied them at close range, and I know what pfcfolems actually confront the working men and working women of the country. If we are to avert an industrial crisis in this country, we must grapple with the problems as we find them, and net set up a cry against suggestions look tig to a solution of them. Our opponents would do well to consider that before they go about shrieking that tilings must not be changed.” Roosevelt will reach Boise, Idaho, late in the day. He speaks there tonig ht.

PALMETTO FUG First Battle Flag of the Confed eracy Is in Colorado State Museum. DENVER. Sept. 12.—An effort is being made by Governor Cole E. Rlease, of South Carolina, to purchase the first Con federate Hag. now on exhibition at the Colorado state capitol among the war relics. This flag, known as the Palmetto flag, because of a palmetto tree depicted in the center of it. was made in 1860 by the women of Charleston. S. and was raised over Fort Sumter when that fort fell into the hands of the Confederates at the outset of the war. At the end of the war the flag was still in the possession of General Beauregard, who led the forces against Sumter, and it was left to his family at the time of hi.t death. It passed through several hands and finally found its way to the Colorado museum, where it was noticed by a Texas woman ami reported to societies in the South formed for purpose of collect ing Confederate flags captured by the North during the war. Affidavits have been received by the museum establishing the identity of an ink well which has been on exhibition at the Colorado capitol for some years., Question was raised as to the genuine ness of the stand and resulted in a thor ough investigation. Through letters re ceived it has been clea r ly shown that the ink well in question is actually the one used by Generals Lee and Grant in the ' surrender agreed upon in McLain’s house at Appomattox. < The ink well belonged to General P H. ( Sheridan, who had it when he went to West Point. While writing at a Western post he allowed the stand to come too close to the candle which supplied the light for him to write by. blistering the ' gutta pereha of which the ink well is made. It was by means of this blistering ■< that the identity of the relic was finally established. After the papers had been signed at ' Appomattox. Sheridan took the ink well and gave it to his brother, John S. Sheri dan. who later transferred it to Cecil A. ' Deane. Deane presented it to the Colo- 1 rado museum. 1 MILKMAN EXTINGUISHES BOMB WITH COMMODITY : NEW YORK, Sept 12.—Antonio Janke, a milkman, climbing a tenement stairs with his wares, saw a lighted bomb in his path.

Davis, Seek ing High Office of Colored Odd Fellows, Attacked. Strong opposition among the negro Odd hallows to the election of Benja min J. Davis, of Atlanta, as grand mas ter ot order developed today at the convention in the Auditorium. So fat Davis is tlie only announced candidate for the place, but there has been circu lated a letter among th” delegate?, signqd by a number of members, de claring that Davis is unlit to hold such office on account of his character. The letter calls attention to tlie fact that Davis rests under cnarges of misap propriating whisky while employed as a government gauger. It is believed by most of the mem bers that Davis will be elected, as no other candidate has made any plans for organizing his friends, ami it is due to Davis that Atlanta negroes were led to give tile convention such entertain ment. Davis is the editor of a negro paper published in Atlanta. The long-looked-for street parade promises to be the feature of all in terest today, and prbbably will only be eclipsed by the grand ball to be given at Taft hall tonight.

They are believed to be direct descendants from the followers gs Lief Ericksen, wild came to Greenland from Iceland about she year 1000. and a few years later discovered the north coast of America. These people are living on Victoria Island, 30 degrees east of the mouth of the Mackenzie ’river and more than 2,000 miles by the coast line and are still in the Stone Age. While the civilization of nearly . 1,000 years has passed they have stood still. Pro fessor Stefansson. who left New York city in 1908 on his trip, has just arrived in Seattle. One of the remarkable Incidents of the five exploration which Stef ansson carried on is the fact that he left his winter headquarters in Banks Land four years ago with sufficient •lour and other cereals to sustain him self and bis Eskimo associates for two weeks, and enough salt and tea to last four weeks. With this scant supply of food, he lived for four y< ars on the bleak inhospitable shores of the Polar sea. Caribou, sea-1 and bear furnished him food and clothes; Discovers Thirteen New Tribes During his travels about the region at the top of the world Stefansson dis covered thirteen new tribes of peopli. Ten of these tribes had never seen oi heard of white men. The progenitors of two other tribes had seen the mem bers of the Franklin exploring expedi tion. and one tribe had once been vis ited by a Avhaling vessel. The tribe of white people which Stefansson declares are purely of Nor wegian origin, never had seen other persons of their own color. Their num ber cf about 1.000, ami more than half of them have rusty rod hair, blue eyes, fair skins and tow-colored eye brows and beards. They live on both shores of Coronation gulf, on the main land of North America and Victoria island, which formerly was, known as Prince Edward island. It was for these people that Raold Amundsen, discoverer of the south pole, searched while making his celebrated I trip through the northwest passage. I Amundsen, it will be remembered, I stated that’ natives had told him of a race of white people living to the north ward. but he was unable to find them. Ethnologieally. they are entirely dif ferent from ne Eskimo not only in the shape of the skull, but in general fea tures. color of eyes and texture of nair. There is not a single trace ol the Mongolian type in them. While thej retain but a few of the customs of the Norsemen with were lost from Iceland in the twelfth century, their method of life is entirely different. They Use Copper Knives. The conditions under which they live are the,most primitive. No vegetation except moss and a few stunted willows grow in.their habitation. They are meat and fish eaters, pure and simple. The islands abound with caribou and the Sea with seal. They use bows made of willow sticks, bound together with sin ew, and their arrows are tipped with flint and native copper, which is pried out of ledges or found in stream beds on the mainland. Their knives also arc made of copper, with hprn handles, and made in much the same manner as these implements were made by the early Norsemen who inhabited Green land. Like nearly every savage tribe, thy have a legend of a flood which a long time ago devastatexl the world. They still use the same kind of bone needles that were invented by their forefathers, and many of fheir methods of life ate somewhat similar to those of their progenitors. 1 hey are a migratory people, never remaining longer than a few weeks in the same place. When they moved Steffansson and his associates moved with them. They never live on the coast and it was for this reason that Amundsen failed to discover them when he sailed by ttieir island. In the winter time they settle on the ice in the Center of a t>.»y, where they hunt seal. In the summer time they go to the center of the island, fthere they Hunt the caribou. Wear Swallow-Tail Coats. 1 heir hous< s are made of snow for the walis. ami a rogf is st rote lied over the top by means of small pieces of driftwood, which *>n rare occasions ate found on the coast. These stray frag ments of wood are highly prized, Furs furnish their clothing. Their shoes are cut to come well up the thighs, where they-tire met by a kind of underskirt which reaches to the waist. The coat is fashioned in precisely the same man ner as the swallow-tailed or full dress coat. The whole outfit is held together by means of the thongs and buttons I made from raw hide and bone. There arc no walrus in that region. None of the natives had ever seen a I match or a rifle. During five years Stcfansson’s rifle I brought down nearly tip tons of meat, i He mapped a large portion of the coun try. The maps of the top of the world, he says, are grossly inaccurate. Stefansson left for N' York to make his repot t, ami will.return to tile Arctic byway of the Edmonton trail and Mm - kenzie river. He as accompanied by Dr. R. M. Anderson. Between them they made a large collection, the fea tures of which are the skins, skulls and leg bom s of nineteen barren ground grizzly bears. Only one batT<>ri ground ((frizzly is in an? mustuni. OLD EQUINOX. NOTED FOR HIS ROUGH-HOUSE TACTICS. ON HIS WAY ♦ • » I'or fear it may be overlooked, par ticularly b\ nervous people, it may as well be stated • today as the middle of next week, tint the autumnal equinox is headed for Atlanta’s midst and is due to land aiound about September 21. Io be sure, there is nothing alarming or t xciting about an equinox, per se. bift there may be .something of the kipni about it. perhaps. popular impression is that if brings storms and unruly meteorological conditions of the most unpropitious va tiety. If that impression did not exist, the equinox could go hang, so far as tlie common or garden variety of the public is concerned. Os course, scientific highbrows tut tut and pooh-pooh the equinoxi.il idea and -ay it is a pipe dream, lint till the tame a lot of folks know it comes true ■ tree times out of five, anyway, anil that alm :st proves it is the real arti cle. No One Claims the Rascal. There i- considerable uncertainty as to wlio invented the equinox—there are two of them, r- ally, though tile vernal tiling is not now of immediate moment —but that doesn’t matter, for if if ever was patented, both the copyright and tlie patent expireil along ago, and equi noxes nowadays run ajong sort of loose and recliless and beiongeto nobody in particular.

The equinox is noted chiefly tor its disorderly weather habits and inclina tions. Tlie storms are made up prin cipally of wind and rain—about twenty parts of fjlow to one part of water. They cut up scandalous sometimes, and make the wearing of narrow skirts ex tremely embarrassing to tile female population, while simultaneously in the male contingent they develop remark able symptoms of rubberneckitivs. Don’t ask the weathdr sharp anything about equinoctial storms. His latest "dope” is that they exist only in fren zied imaginations, and he is bound to stick to that until lie gets another bul letin from headquarters—and the Lord knows when that will be! Then the Nights Grow Longer. Scientists still admit that Septem ber 21 the theoretical date of the ar rival of the equinox, is the happy me dium of the year in the matter of day light and darkness. It ought to show up with exactly twelve hours of each, ami it It is perfectly well behaved it "111. After the autumnal equinox, the days get shorter right along until Decem ber 21, after that they lengthen out again until tile arrival of tile vernal equinox in Mai ch—and then everything in the equinox business is pretty again! Rum old citizen, the rough equinox, whether his alleged accompanying storms and things are the real articles they are cracked up to lie or mere nle teorologieal spooks eunjured up to af fright tlie wicked and tlie weak-kneed! Better look out for the autumnal equi nox next week. If it shows up, all well mil good. Enjoy it if you can—have a good tiine. go as far as you like! If it doesn’t show up, no harm done a bowel washday. That is all wrong. It you will take a teaspoonful oi' deli cious Syrup of Fig- tonight, you will never realize you have taken anything until morning, when all tlie poisonous matter, sour bile and clpgged-up waste will lie moved on and out of your sys tem, thoroughly but gently—no griping —no nalisea—no weakness. Taking Syrup of F’igs is a real pleasure. Don't think you are drugging yourself; it is composed entirely of luscious figs, sen na and aromatics, and constant use can not cause injury. Ask your druggist for "Syrup of Pigs and Elixir of Senna," and look for the name, California Eig Syruf t’orhpany. on tlie label. This is the genuine—old reliable. Any other Eig Syrup offered as good should be re fused witli contempt. Don’t be im posed upon. ITCHING SCALP AND loss™ On Back of Head. Small Eruptions. Scratching Made Sores. Great Deal of Dandruff.
