Following a short session of the spe cial good roads committee, or harmony committee, yesterday afternoon, C. H.

W. B. Ayer, chairman of tho harmony committee. In speaking for the other members of the committee, said last night that as a result of the confer ence Important progress had been made In harmonizing the arlous good roads Interests and that the only conflict will be over the bonding bills prepared by the state-wide good roads commit tee and the Oregon State Grange. He said that the majority of the members of the special committee were con vinced that the Grange bonding bill would not prove practical. Grange Bill Disliked. In dircusslng the subject. Mr. Ayer said: "In reconsidering the proposal we decided that we would withdraw the county bonding act bill In case the Grange would Indorse the state-aid bills. We also concluded that the coun. ty bonding bill drafted by the Grange would not be a workable measure nor would It prove practical In connection with the other bills. We still Intend to accept its bill creating the office of State Highway Commissioner, or En gineer. The only conflict will be "over the two bonding bills. "Mr. Spence's letter to Governor West In which he says that we seem to be as far apart as ever over the ques tion of supervision of county work and of the bonds to be It-sued is wrong, because we modified our bills by plac ing the subject of road Improvement within the counties with the County Comlssloners. What Mr. Spence should have said and probably Intended to say was that we declined to turn money over to the counties to be spent In any other way than through properly elected county officers. mil Deemed Conservative. "I feel that great progress has been made toward the solution of tho prob lem and that the bills are conservative nd considerate In character and that If adopted will lead to a system of Improved road construction In the counties and a small beglnlng made toward state roadbuilding. The har mony committee believes that when the bills are prepared by our attorney, C E. S. Wood, they will meet with the approval of the people of the state and that an Important step will have been taken In good roads construction."

No progress was made yesterday In Judge Gatens' court In agreeing upon veniremen to try the case of the state against Burt Hicks, accused of the murder of W. A. Wortman, a union machinist. Karl N. Ranzenbach, a butcher, was In the interrogation chair from 9:30 o'clock In the morning, when court convened, until 3 o'clock In the afternoon. He was excused on a chal lenge from the defense and was suc ceeded by Bruno A. Schaar, a lathing contractor. Schaar was still under ex amination when court adjourned. W. M. Davis, special prosecutor, op posed the excusing of Razenbach. It developed that the velreman had been at various times a member of labor unions but Is not now associated with them. So insistent was Mr. Davis in his objections that he drew a rebuke from Judge Gatens, who expressed himself as not wishing to have his duty made clear to him by attorneys on either side. Each venireman is interrogated closely as to his views on the propriety of men occupying positions left vacant by others on strike and the picketing of Industrial establishments by strikers. There have been frequent objections from both sides and Judge Gatens has almost without exception upheld the objections, expressing himself as believing that many unnecessary questions are asked. .

I want to commend your editorial this morning regarding the danger of an unwise effort to test the constitu tionality of the law regarding the elec tion of delegates to the National con vention. It Is much better to leave that test to the friends of the law rather than the pronounced enemies. The test suggestion of the unconstitu tionality of this law comes from Juuge Carey, who Is a candidate for National delegate, and While In his statement he says that he Is willing to abide by the Oregon system, still lie has his doubts about this particular law, and wnue 1 know Judge Carey to be a man of honor and do not question his Integrity, still I would like to ask him if the man who is in doubt of the law would be a safe man to enforce it, and if the men who say that the people are fools and the laws made by them fool laws, would be sufficiently unbiased to give the law a fair test. The statement has been made that the progressives are agreeable to this test. This Is not true. Only alleged pro gressives have announced themselves as favoring the test. These men are under the impression that Multnomah County Is the State of Oregon and desire to se lect the entire delegation from this county in order to dictate the policies of the state at large. Mr. Dunne, who is not in politics by reason of being a FeSeral officeholder, but who Is always on hand when the convention Is In ses sion, emphatically says In his opinion that the convention selected by the committee undoubtedly will seat its own delegations rather than the dele gations selected by the people of Ore gon, but, notwithstanding this halluci nation on his part, they will not dare to tamper with the law, and the delega tions elected by the people . will be seated. If oply for the reason that the men desiring to test this law have openly expressed themselves as opposed to the Oregon system. The progressives of this state are ab solutely opposed at this time to any test being made by these people, but j If the law Is not satisfactory, have It amended by the people who made It. I am a candidate for National delegate and am perfectly willing to abide by the decision of the voters, and I will say that should I be elected and the state I carried for Taft, he will bave my sup port In the convention without any evasion, whatever, and I will not merely give him a complimentary vote and then declare that in my opinion he has no chance for election and swing to someone else, but will stay with him In accordance with the law. and I would like to have the delegates opposed to this law. If any should be elected, go on record that they will do the same should the state declare for Mr. LaFol- lette or Mr. Roosevelt- If they are not willing to do so, In my opinion, tney merely desire to select a machine del egation to serve their purpose In the convention. THOS. M'CCSKEB. L. Samuel proposed at the Ad Club luncheon yesterday a motion, which carried unanimously by the clubmen, thanking The Oregonlan and tho Even ing Tolegram for their . action in re- i Jecting from their advertising col ' . .. ; ., ,wi h.,t.r ad vertisements." Tho campaign against the medicine fakers, to protect citizens of Portland from abuses at the hands of pretended doctors, was begun by the Social Hygienic Society and had been heartily seconded by tho Ad Club. "I believe," said Mr. Samuels in of fering his motion, "that these two pa pers are entitled . to the heartiest thanks of everyone of us, not only as citizens who desire to see the faker driven from the city for the protection of our friends and familtes, but as ad vertising men who desire to see the ad vertising of the city purified. The re jection of this advertising meant the loss of a considerable amount of money to the newspapers that had the decency to stand asainst them. I for one should not feel that it were an im position If the papers should raise their rates on other advertising to make up the deficit occasioned by the loss of this advertising, for I know now that my advertisement Is in good company. "Therefore I move that the Ad Club extend a vote of thanks to the news papers that have had the decency to exclude from their columns this type of advertising, which is still being ac cepted and run by many of our other publications." FILIPINOS NOT SATISFIED C. Lewis Slead Returns From Fag East and Tells of Conditions. C. Lewis Mead, a local broker, has Just returned, with his wife and -son, from a five months tour of Chin , Japan, the Philippines and the Hawai ian Islands. He said yesterday th.it at one time 40,000 Japanese troops were loaded on transports and battle ships, ready to sail, and were much disappointed that Japan did not have an opportunity to take a hand in Chi nese affairs. "Everybody in China Is in favor of the republic "In only 10 days there was a most wonderful transformation. Almost all the queues were cut. In Shanghai, Chinese having queues were caught when they ventured on tho street and their queues were cut off. The Chinese are disposed to treat foreigners with great courtesty and fairness. "The first question many Filipinos ask, if they learn you are from Amer ica, is, 'When will the Americano get out of here?" They were introduced Into the mysteries of boodling by the Spaniards, and have been re-touched by the American system. So they d--s. j to have the island to manage themselves.

LAX PARENTS ARE BLAMED Judge Gatens Before Ad CInb Says Leeway Spoils Juveniles. Judge "W. N. Gatens. speaking for the Juvenile Court, before the Ad Club yesterday, recited some of the condi tions of vice among minors which he had encountered In his position as Judge of tbe Juvenile Court, and laid the burden of the blame upon "par ents who allow their children too much leeway." "Girls are not to blame for conditions that exist." he declared. "It Is all the boys' fault, and this Is because their parents either uphold them In what they do or try to smooth it over. "If all the parents of Portland would raise their boys under the same moral standard that they placed upon their daughters and teach their sons that a girl Is entitled to hla chivalrous pro tection whether she be his sister or the sister of someone else, there would Contagious Blood Poison, as the name implies, is an infectious blood taint which may be communicated from one person to another. Its virus is of a most insidious nature, multiplyim; from an insignificant germ in the blood until it becomes a thorough systemic poison. So powerful and dangerous is this terrible blood plague that no time should be lost in trying to drive it from the system. It should not be tempor ized with, but should be killed as one would a deadly serpent on the path way. The first manifestation of Contagious Blood Poison is usually a ti'iy sore or pimple, but it rapidly spreads, and in a short time the 'entire body fchows its presence in the blood. The mouth and throat ulcerate, glands in the groin swell, the hair begins to come out, copper-colored spots appear tn the body, and frequently running sores and ulcers break out on the flesh. A condition of such serious nature requires proper treatment. Not only must the disease be driver, out, but the system which has been weakened by tie powerful poison must be built up, before health can be restored. The question- of most importance threfore is what medicine has proven by actual tesults its superiority as a blood purifier? We claim this distinction for S. S. S. because of its successful record for more than forty years. . S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison by purifying the blood. It goos into the circulation and removes the last trace of the infectious virus, arls with fine tonic effect on the stomach, bowels, kidneys and other portions of the system, and thus makes a perfect as well as a permanent cure. S. S. S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, each of which has a specific action or. the system. Not a particle of mineral or other harmful substance enters into its composition. S. S. S. is perfectly safe for any one, and instead of upsetting the stomach, as mineral medicines often do, it tones np this im portant member, and make: digestion easy. Thousands have cured themselves of Contagious Blood Poison by the use of S. S. S., and if you will write and request it we wi.'! send you, without charge, our Home Treatment Book, which will give you all necessary information for crushing out the life of this serpent-like poison and curinsr yourself at home. We will also give you free any medical advice you may wish. S. S. S. is sold at drugstores. - THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
