I'LA.VS CONVENTION.
Odoriferous Gang tlmt Hrouirlit Si
mon's Election Now KfAchi'S
Out for Hlate Control.
PORTLAND, Or., July 22. Plans
for holding a republican state conven -
tion and putting up a convlete ticket
next summer are now being worked
out, and all but the minor details,
such as the selecting of delegates,
have been determined. Of course,
those engineering the scheme do not
call it a couvention, for they cloak
the gathering by the less objec
tionable name of "assembly." Un
less there is a widespread insistence
on the part of the people against an
assembly or convention, the gunie
will be played as herein outlined, and
1 there is not much expectation that
the common- or garden variety of vot
ers will protest against the dieal the
experienced politicians are framing.
Child of Uracil's. .
This convention or assembly Idea is
not of recent birth. It was thought
out a year ago by State Senator S.
C. Beach and some of his close poli
tical associates, and the plan resulted
In a campaign of letter-writing to
politicians of ttie old school in all
parts ot Oregon. The time was nol
considered ripe last year to pull oil
tbe state assembly, and it was decid
ed to try the scheme first in Port
land with the municipal ticket. Thlt
was accomplished last April, whei
Mr. Simon and the' rest of a city
ticket wore "recommended" for thi
primary election. The election oi
Simon convinced the promoters thai
the scheme could be carried out on s
larger scale, as originally conceived
and since then the plan of a statt
assembly has been given careful at
tention by the former leaderB of thi
old style of doing politics in Oregon
As now designed, the state com
mlttee will issue a call for a s'.ati
assembly, to be held some time dur
ing next summer. The election ol
congressmen, state and county officers
will be held In November , and ai
the primaries will be held a few
jgteeks earlier than the election, thi
"tsembly will have to tnko placi
about the latter pari of August o
early In September. The Republicar
State Central Committee will be cal
led together by the state chairmai
and resolutions will be introduce!
and adopted favoring a state sssem
taly. -
Call on Counties.
The next step will be to authoriz
the chairmen of the various count:
commi'ctees to call their committee
together and ratify the resolution o
the state committee. The state or
ganization will make an apportion
ment, designating the number ol
delegates each county shall send tc
the state convention, alios assembly
Selection of these delegates will be
left to the county committees.
One of the chief defects of thf
system is that it gives the power ol
selecting delegates to the county com
mittee, and a majority of the commit
A would have this selection. By
Wils means It is possible for a clique
in a county committee to namr
friendly delegates to the state con
vention, delegates "who will flay the
game and deliver the goods." By
this plan a complaisant county com
mittee, following a tip from a boss,
can send the kind of delegates want
ed to the state assembly, thereby lay
ing the state assembly open to the
charge of machine methods. By the
same token, men who are aspirants
for state offices will be enabled tc
rustle among the county committee?
and see that delegates friendly to
iv, air onnriiriiacv will be accredited. In
other words, there Is a likelihood of
the former brand of politics, where
tho man or men who control the
state assembly will be In position to
dictate the nominees who are to be
recommended to the people In the
primaries.
See Clear Sailing Ahead.
By evolving a plan to give the vot
ers of a county the right to select the
delegates to the state assembly there
will be less liability of the assembly
being controlled by a close corpora
tlon. As the game stands now, how
ever, tlhe power of selecting the dele
gates is to rest with the county com
mittee, and only members of the
committee will have a voice 1n pick
ing representatives In the assembly.
So sanguine are certain aspirants
for state office that the assembly Idea
will be the means to the end that
. - they have already opened negotia
W tlonB to have friendly delegations de
livered for their benefit at the state
assembly.

EUI CATINO CHILDREN TO
WARD OFF WHITE PLAOl'E
Over 2.600.000 of the 17.000,000
school children enrolled In the United
States have, during the school year
just closed, been systematically - in
structed concerning Uhe dangers of
consumption and the methods for its
cure and prevention, according to a
statement recently issued by the Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Besides the 2.500.000 children
thus regularly instructed in their
schools, the National Association es
timates that fully 1,000,000 more
have received Instruction at the var
ious tuberculosis exhibits held in all
parts of the country or In separate
classes and organizations.
A number of Investigations con
ducted In various jmrts of the world
show that a large percentage of the
children In the public schools have
tuberculosis before they are eighteen.
That a larger number of them do not
die is due to the fact that healthy
children are able to resist the attack
of the consumption germ. On ac
count of the prevalence of the dis
ease among children the National As
sociation considers their education
to be one of prime Importance.
In Boston a special commlsKlon
which recently investigated the sub
ject, found that over 6000 school
children in that city alone had posi
tive cases of tuberculosis. In New
York, a recent study showed over
25,000 tuberculosis children In the
schools. On the basis of these and
other Investigations, It is estimated
by certain authorities that there are
nearly 1,000.000 school children In
the United States today who will
probably die of tuberculosis before
they have reached the age of 18. This
would mean that the public schools
of the country are paying annually
about $7,600,000 for the education
of children who will die before they
reach the age of eighteen. At least
one-half of this sickness, and poBslbly
three-fourths of It. could be prevent
ed 1 the municipal and state govern
ments would adojrt better and more
hygienic methods of controlling and
teaching the children, and. If the
public in general were alive to the
need of tuberculosis prevention.
The National Association declares
that th best way to wipe out con
sumption among the children is to
educate both -them and their parents
so. that they will know that tuber
culosis Is a communicable disease,
that It can be cured, and that it must
be prevented.

January 28, next, six plums carrying
salaries of from $3000 to $4500 per
annum, will mature on the Federal
patronage tree in this state. The jobs
include two registers of United States
Land Offices, two receivers ot United
States Land Offices, United States
Marshal and Collector of Internal
Revenue at Portland. The six of
fices In which vacancies will occur,
the Incumbents, date of expiration of
their terms and the salary ot each o-'-flce
are as follows:

Prominent lieutenants In the Bourne
camp hero In Portland declared yes
terday that they were not aware of
any candidates for either of the half
dozen offices.
Just what method will be followed
by the delegation at Washington In
deciding on these appointees is more
or less a conundrum, but it is-sur-mlscd
that Bourne will endeavor to
control this patronage.
ANOTHER DAIRY INSPECTOR.
G. H. Webb has been apimlnted
deputy dairy Inspector for Oregon,
being the fourth one named by the
state dairy and food commissioner.
At the time the new state law regu
lntlng dairying was proposed several
of the enterprising creanierymen and
others interested In the movement
pledged themselves to raise $150
monthly to pay a deputy providing
the state would appropriate $6000
annually with which to employ three
other deputies and also pay tneir
expenses while on duty. The slate
appropriation was voted by the legis
lature at Its last regular session nnd
the appointments were made a few
weeks ago In compliance therewith.
The quartet of deputy Inspectors are
