spirit of friendly consideration and
tolerance that was Indeed marked
When Burke Cochran, the brilliant

"The naming ot Cox as a candi

the Pennsylvania delegation as a
parting compliment to Palmer voted
for him on the 38th ballot as well.
The withholding of this v-pte for Mc
Adoo on the 39th ballot gave the
Vox forces a lead of 28 ballots in tne
break. This gave them the swir.g
or 'psychology' of toe convention
to the Cox supporters and other hes
itating delegations swung to 'ho
Cox standard on succeeding ballots.
Pennsylvania swinging tot .McAdoo
on the 40th ballot was not sufficient
to stem the tide set In favor of Cox,
Thus the Cox people won - merely
from the fact that the Pennsylvania
delegation paused to give a parting
compliment to Its first choice, rai
nier. Had this not been done the
xtory of the convention would have
been different. There is nothing to
the story of superior strategy of the
Cox men.
"However, the nomination of Cox
was highly acceptable to the con

In the mighty ovation given to Cox
In the final ballot, an ovation in
which the standards of all the state
were carried. The nomination of
Cox will take from the campaign the
bitter personal attack that would

h this light the nomination of Cox

Closer Cooperation
Urged In Address
(By Aescc'sted Press.)
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. July 8
Closer co operation between the
teachers and school administrators
was urged to remedy unrest among
-teachers by CorpeMl S. Adair, presi
dent or the .National league oi
Teacher's Associations, In an address
today In the National Education As
sociation convention nere.
"For many years the classroom
teacher has felt that she was not
giving to the cause of education the
best that was In her to give," she
said.. Although the teacher of the
..hlMran nf n free neonle. she her-
if hri liifln share In mnlrilnv the'ed by an auto. As Is the case with
educational policies which she en-
deavored to carry out.
"Thl nuestlon was recently asked
the teachers of a certain state. 'To
what reason other than salary do
vou attribute the unrest among the
teachers?" Three hundred and (fifty
three replied that It was because of a
lack of sympathy and co-operatiou
between the teachers and the admin
istration. Closer co-operation and a
better acquaintance was the-unlveis-al
remedy
"That this delre for a closer co
operation between the class-room
teacher and the admnlstratlon In
general was shown by the remark
able growth of the Advisory Council
Idea.
"The purpose of these councils
Is to utilize the exoerence. Judgment
and Initiative of the men and women
in direct daily contact with the
children and problems of the school.
"All questions administrative as
well as educational affecting the
welfare of the teachers, the child
ren, the schools, nhould be recogniz
ed 88 proper subjects for discussion
and the (findings by these councils.
All recommendations of the councils
should be made a matter of official
record.
"The Judgment of the teacher
should be utilized in the formation
of school policv, not only for the
sake of the policy, but also for the
sense of responsibility engendered In
the teacher by her share In deter
mining that policy," the speaker
said.
"In certain cities where there Is
no formally Instituted advisory board
the open forum plan has been adopt
ed." she continued. "Once In three
months the teachers aro invited by
the hoard to come and talk matters
over in which thev are Interested.

"Much benefit has resulted from
these meetlrrs. not only from the

MONEY REM
FOR CUT-OFF. ROAD
State Highway Commissiqn
Votes $15,000 For Improve
ment Tiller Trail Road.
WILL OPEN UP ROUTE
Although Amount Is Not Sufficient
to Complete Work Yet Tills Ap
propriation Guarantees Further
Expenditures by the State.
Assurance that the Tiller-Trail
cut-oof road Is to be opened this year
was received today when it was
learned that the State Highway Com
mission had appropriated 116.000
to be matched by the Government,
for the purpose of opening up the
summit section of the road, making
travxel to Crater Lake possible. This
money, the commission states, is all
that Is available at this time for the!
work, but it will doubtless be suffi
cient to put the section in condition
that it will he passable for residents
ot that locality who desire to bring
out their produce during the summer
weather.
Although no definite announce
ments were made, it is understood
that the money is to be turned ovor
to the forest service with the under
standing that it is to be used on the
summit section from the foot of the
mountain to the summit road. At the
present time there is a good grade
over the summit, but from. the foot
of the mountain to the old grade the
road is impassable. The new survey
follows an easier grade for several
miles and Is easy construction. The
state forester has recommended to
the Washington, D. C. office that the
forest service co-operate, and doubt
less the action of the state com
mission In voting funds will hasten
action on the part ot the forestry
officials.
At the present time the road from
Tiller to Drew In passable but rough.
Howover, It would require only
slight amount of work to put this
road In gpr 1 shape, although it has
a number of had grades but these are
easily travelled. The proposed new
route follows along Elk Creek, and
is partially built, but on account of
the heavy type of construction and
the evtreine cost, the work has been
neglected for several years. It Is not
proposed to finish the cut at this
time, but Instead it Is desired that
the old road from Tiller to Drew be
slightly Improved. From Drew to the
foot of the mountain, the road Is in
good shape and can be easily cover-
most country roads It is slightly
rough, but a small amount of work
I wul overcome mo unucuiiy. r rom
the foot of the mountain to the sum
mit, the road is imnassabln. ateen
und rough. The proposed route cuts
off a short distance from the foot of
the mountain and following an easy
grade reaches the summit over
ground which could at slight expen
se be converted into good road. ben.
Although the $15,000 appropriated
by the commission Is not sufficient
to put the cut-off road In first class
condition, yet it is enough to do the
preliminary work and make the road
passable. The appropriation shows
above ail other things, the good In
tention of the commission to open
up the road, and with this expendi
ture ordered, It Is a certain fact that
as soon as possible the commission
will order a much larger appropria
tion which will be sufficient to put
this much desired road In rood con
dition for travel. The people who
have been working so hard for the
establishment of the road are de
lighted with the decision of the com
mission and understanding the finan
cial situation at this time are per
fectly satsflpd with the action that
has been taken.
The approval of the commission
doubtless Isdiie largely to Commis
sioner Kiddle, who only a short
time ago went over the route and
personally inected the proposed
road and the territory surrounding.

Tourist Dies on
Road Near Glendale
Enroute home to Long Hooch after
an extended auto trip to northern
points, a party ot tourists named Mo
Daniels passed through Roseburg
yesterday afternoon continuing on
south, and when passing through the
upper end ot the canyon, about IS
miles this side of Qlendale. Mrs, Mc-
Danlela suddenly passed away. She
had not been ill previously, and sud
denly fnlnted in the car. They Im
med'aiely stopped, but before they
could lift hr from the car or render
any help, she was dead. She was
accompanied by her husband and her
two grown daughters. The unfortu
nate accident occured about :30
last evening, and Dr. C. C. Knott, ol
Glendale, who was enroute to this
city, arrived on the scene shortly sif
ter Mrs. Mclianlels had passed away
but could render no assistance how
eror, aside from glrtng them permis
sion to carry the body Into Glendale.
Dr. Knott informed Coroner Rltter
of the occurence and he left for
Glendale on the early morning train
todny. It was thought that an ex
amination as to the cause ot death
would bo necessary, and that he
would remain to prepare the body
for shipment.
Dr. Knott stated that he would
prefer not to pass an opinion as to
what caused the sudden death. One
theory advanced .was that some cann
ed meat they had eaten a short time
before had poisoned her. although
Di. Knott stated that death from
poisoning was usually very painful
and accompanied by convulsions of
some kind, which waa not the case.
Extreme vatigue from the Journey
might have also Interferred with the
heart action, according to opinions
which have been advanced. The party
was traveling In a large car and was
completely equipped for camping
out.
