Gov. Pierce Contends Head
of School! Can't Hold
Two Paying Jobs.
ILL FEELING ALLEGED
Turner's Offer to Serve
Without Pay Rejected
F. L. Kent flamed
as Successor.
(.Qoclatcd Press LcnBed Wire.) 1
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 8. It devel
oped here today that tlio change
niinoiinced by Governor Pierce in
(hu stale text book commission
.yesterday was not a voluntary
x 'udgiintloii by It. R. Turner, state
u ool superintendent, but that- In
Btid Turner was removed from
the vcommlssion Jiv the governor
and P. L. Kent R Corvallis, . ap
J)ointed in his place.
Tho reason given by the gov
ernor for the change was that the
statu constitution inhibits oue per
son from lioldyg more than one
lucrative state office at the same
time. Turner, who was the suc
cessful candidate for the Demo
cratic nominuQm for state super
intendent in the May primary elec
tion, was appointed state superin
tendent by Pierce to fill the vacan
cy until the general election
caused by the resignation of J. A.
Churchll, who resigned to become
president of the Ashland Normal
school. At the time of his tempor
ary appointment as state superin
tendent Turner was a member of
I ho text book commission. Mem-bors-of-
..this commission ""receive
IravPing expenses and a. flat sum
of $100 each whenever a. meeting
3 held at whfctr text books are
ndopted. Wlu'nier this sum consti
tutes tho position as a "lucrative
office" is a question which has
been referred to the attorney gen
eral by tho state superintendent's
office.
Turner, it became known 'today,
in order to retain his place as a
member of the text book coinmis
' slon, offered to serve without pay,
citing that this had been done by
Governors Benson and Olcott when
they held the double offices of
governor and secretary of state.
Ill Feeling Prevails.
Although Turner is the Demo
cratic candidate for state school
puporlntendent and ' Pierce tho
Democratic candidate for governor,
there has not been a pronouncedly
frlontllv feeling between the two.'
This dates back to a meeting of
ihoQext book commission several
months ago at Which a sharp dif
ference in opinion arose between
a faction of the commission head
ed by Milton A. Miller of Port
land and other members who fa
vored policies of the then state
superintendent. J. A. Churchill,
relative to thiO adoption of books.
Tumor sided with Churchill. '
Turner hps not heen in Salem
for several davs. Prior to the an
nouncement that he had been suc
ceeded bv Kent as a member of
the commission he sent telegrams
to sOne other members of . the
romissio'n saying that the governor
was Irving to "nry me out" of the
enniinlflon and asking interven
tion with the governor. At least
one member visited the governor
ii Turner's behalf.

The Roseburg high school was
keyed to high expectancy this af
ternoon as the time neared for the
football contest with the Cottage
Grove high school team. Every in

between fairly well matched teams
and the attendance, despite the
chili, damp day, was very large.
In aaddltion to the outdoor pa
rade, bonfire and pep rally last
night, the school this afternoon
held rallies in each of - the roll

the spirit with an enthusiasm
which promised good support from
the sidelines during the athletic
contest, ;'-.-
At 1 O'clock Coach "Hod " Turner

an art which is an important fac

games, but in keeping the men
from serious hurts during "he
games. Coach Turner pronounced
his men in fine fettle, just at the
right mental point for a good fight.
Roseburg will fight despite all
obstacles," Coach Turner declar
ed; "We may . lose,' although we
don't expeot to, but We will fight
to the end.

quarters. 1 '
The team was hard hit today
when the list of inellglbles came
in. Lockwood, Atterbury, Pugh and
Kramer, were declared Ineligible
while the death of Sam Durlnnd's
brother took the regular right
tackle off the line. Captain Allen
Moore and Elton Jackson are suf

in the line-up.

The Roseburg team looks good
and will have its first tryout
against a team that will fully try
the ability of the local players. The
Cottage Grove team Is a strong and
experienced eleven, and 1b also
heavy and well trained. The team
arrived during the forenoon and
after a light lunch went to the
high school gymnasium for pre

As both teams moved out of the
West today, the series stood three
games to two in favor of the New
York Yankees with the American
league entry needing but a single
game to insure its election ' as
world's baseball champion. The
Cardinals, as a result ot defeat in
the fifth game of the series, are in
a position where they cannot afford
to lose another game.
All of today was needed for
traveling to get the contenders
back to the Yankee Stadium for
the sixth game Saturday. If the
Cardinals win tomorrow a seventh
game will be necessary in New
York Sunday. Victory for the. Yan
kees ends the annual league test
for baseball supremacy.

Yesterday's game offered more

to take advantage of frequent er

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 8. Dr.
Arnold Bennett Hall, president of
the University of Oregon, who
came here today to be on hand for
the football game tomorrow, voic
ed praise of Oregon sceuery and
of the university, in an interview.
Dr. Hall declared Ogogon was too
modest, and that people In other
parts ot the country knew little
about the state except that the
Columbia : river highway runs
through it somewhere.
During my few weeks here,"
he said, "I have taken as many
littlo motor trips as possible. The
state is beautiful beyond power of
description. The other day , Mrs.
Hull and I drove to the Three Sis
ters. That Is a wonderfully beauti
ful section, and very few people
ever visit it. I'll bet not one man
in a ndlllon living in Wisconsin,
Iowa, Illinois or Kansas ever
heard of those mountains "
Dr. Hall is also pleased with the
University of Oregon.
"I think the university Is fine,"
he said. "It has one of the great
est" opportunities of any university
in the country. There Is more fine.
constructive leadership . on the
campus at Eugene than I know of
in a student body anywhere.
The cooperation the students
give voluntarily, without a hint or
without coaxing, Is truly marvel
ous. I think tho report issued laifl
year by the Oregon students is a
masterpiece.
"The spirit shown there is going
to make Oregon known in every
educational center of the world. It
Is shown In the cooperation that
so happily surprised me."
