Borah Says Suffragists
Must Apply to States
Washington, D. C.—After a vigor
ous defense of woman suffrage In the
senate,
Senator Borah, of Idaho,
shocked suffrage advocates on the floor
and in the galleries by declaring it
was impractical and impossible to ob
tain the vote for women by Federal
constitutional amendment.
He predicted that after 15 years of
endeavor the women would renew their
abandoned quest for the ballot before
the people of the states, because in
seeking an amendment to the Federal
constitution they had loaded them
selves down with the negro question,
the Japanese question and a dozen
other state’s rights problems.
“You will never carry the required
36 states for a constitutional woman
suffrage amendment,” he said.

Supreme Court Decides

“Dry” Vote Is Valid
Send Cadets to Fair
Salem—In denying a rehearing in
the case of W. B. Wiley against the
County court of Washington county,
the Supreme court applied the finish
ing touche» to its opinion written
some time ago that the local option
elections last November were valid.
With the action of the court the last
recourse of the liquor interests van
ished, and the various cities and towns
that voted "dry” will be so until the
rule of the people is reversed.
The Washington county opinion was
the main one, all other local options
hinging upon the decision in that suit.
Additional arguments, but no points
that had not been considered before,
were submitted by lawyers for the
saloon men in briefs tendered with the
motion for rehearing. Justice Eakin,
who wrote the original opinions, in an
oral statement said that the court ad
hered to its original decree.
The Dalles Plans Big
Celebration at Rodeo
The Dalles—The Dalles Rodeo, the
Wild West show which was inaugurat
ed here last fall with such great suc
cess, will be staged July 2, 3 and 4
this year, making it include a celebra
tion of Independence Day.
The Rodeo was held last year com
bined with the County Fair.
The
farmers objected to the Wild West
show in connection with the fair, con
tending that it detracted from the ex
hibits and other features.
So it has
been decided to hold the County Fair
in the fall and the Rodeo in July.
J. L. Kelly has been chosen as gen
eral manager of the Rodeo, Judd S.
Fish, secretary, and M. Z. Donnell,
treasurer.

Women’s Political Clubs
Brush Up On Live Issues
Hood River—With two political re
search clubs formed, the women of
the Hood River valley are bolding
weekly meetings for the purpose of
studying political questions of the
day. One club has been organized In
the Barrett district, of the West Side,
while the other is composed of the
Pine Grove women of the East Side.
‘‘These meetings are not partisan or
political,” says Mrs. L. H. Diamond,
president of the Barrett club, ‘‘but for
educational purposes, placing issues of
the day before the women that they
may cast an intelligent vote.”
Cheese Company Elects.
Seaside—At the first annual meet

The
board elected John Sundquist to suc

Ablany — Believing that an eight-

dairies and other agricultural pursuits
would be an injustice, the Linn County
Pomona Grange has passed a resolu

It is recited that such a law

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis—Plans are being made for the
cadet regiment of the Oregon Agri
cultural College to visit the Panama-
Pacific exposition at San Francisco in
1915. All alumni who were members
of the cadet organization while attend
ing college may join the excursion by
providing themselves with the re
quired equipment and conforming to
the prescribed, regulations,
Many of
the faculty members will accompany
the students, and the educational ad-
vantages of the great exposition will
be fully utilized.
While the benefits of the trip are
many the expenses will be made light.
If the plan of chartering a govern
ment transport succeeds the expenses
of the entire trip will be about $11
per man. Thia sum includes the cost
of travel and living accommodations
for two weeks—three days going,
light days at the exposition and three
days returning.
The trip will be made early in May,
in order to interfere aa little as possi
ble with the regular college work.
By making the excursion general and
going in a body rather than in small
groups, the students and faculties will
reduce the interruption of routine
work to a minimum.
Evans Valley Farmers
Plan Social Center
Ashland—“A social and intellectual
center” is planned as the outgrowth
of a movement now under way by res
idents of Evans valley, in this county,
for the institution of a central farm or
country life school. Several districts
would be consolidated in the merger in
a territory of which Rogue River sta
tion is the hub. Roads in this section
are of the best and other conditions
are favorable.
The project implies high and graded
schools, housed in a substantial build
ing of five or six rooms, one of which
should be an auditorium for public
gatherings. Farm, home and cultural
topics would be added to the ordinary
courses of studies, the curriculum in
general being in line with the pro
gressive movement which is being
urged by the people of that locality.
Attendance Record High.
Monmouth—An attendance average
of 96.07 per cent, 2877 pupils on rec
ord In Polk county, 1855 pupils neither
absent nor late, are some of the items
! in a report issued by H. C. Seymour,
county superintendent, for the month
of January. There were 493 cases of
tardiness. The number of visits by
parents is constantly growing, 156 be
ing recorded for the month. Fifty-
five schools were placed on the county
roll of honor for making 95 per cent in
attendance, 16 were credited with
having had no tardies.
Indiana to Receive Dues.
Washington, D. C.—At the request
of Senator Chamberlain the Indian
office has decided to pay the amounts
due the Chinooks and other bands of
Oregon and Washington Indians, with
out reopening the rolls or having fur
ther heirship hearings held in the
field.
The approval of the payroll by the
secretary of the interior will be the
final action preliminary to the pay
ment.
New York—The Fourteenth strest
store and that of the Simpson Craw
ford company, properties of Henry
Siegel and Frank E. Vogel, under In
dictment In connection with the fail
ure of the Siegel private bank and
mercantile enterprises, closed their
doors Saturday night by order of the
Federal court in response to a peti
tion by receivers and creditors.
But for the assistance promised by
other department stores and by char
ity workers and employment agencies;
2600 men, women and children would
be thrown out of work. Most of these
have promises of jobs, however, and
others, it is expected, will find places
before another week Is out.
Aisles crowded with patrons seeking
last-hour bargains, the arrest of a few
shoplifters, the appearance of organ
isers of the Industrial Workers of the
World, the reported presence of agents
of questionable employment bureaus
offering girls work, and the hysterical
weeping of women who had lost their
savings in the Siegel bank were Inci
dents that attended the closing of the
stores.
Printed lists of reputable employ
ment agencies and respectable board
ing houses were distributed among the
women and girls by social workers
who had been informed representa
tives of white slave agents were ming
ling with the discharged employes.
Hand bills bearing “A Call to the
Unemployed” to organize were dis

Workers of the Girls' Protective lea
gue urged the employes not to attend

Several men who attempted to make
street-corner addresses to the depart
ing employes advised them to steal
bread if they got no opportunity to
earn It.
A committee representing the de
positors In the Siegel bank called on
the attorneys of Siegel and Vogel ami
was informed that the partners had
not prepared a new offer of settlement
as the depositors had been told.
“In view of the present turn the
case has taken it would be impossible
for us to make any offer,” said I xju I s
S. I.evy, of rounsel.
"We do not
want to hold up the hopes of the de
positors only to shatter them.
We
will not countenance the offer of bad
securities, and the depositors can rest
assured that whatever is offered with
our sanction will be bona fide.”
