SUBSCRIPTION RATES. Six months 7r Pala In advance, per year $1 6l THE CLACKAMAS- MULTONOMAH ANNEXATION. There are many, no doubt, who would like to see the north end of Clackamas County annexed to Mul tonomah County. Those who enter tain this feeling are largely new com ers. The old settlers who have lived through poverty and the vicissitudes ot pioneer life and who, of later years have enjoyed the comforts of afflu ent circumstances; who have seen the rugged hills and heavily timbered forests grow Into fertile fields; who have watched old Clackamas make her way, In spite of the obstacles to economical government that nature has thrown Into her path, to the front rank of the counties of Oregon; these who have been part and parcel of the ups and downs of Clackamas County will hardly wish to Bee her boundaries of long standing disturbed. Senti ment ia not the least of forces that shape our course. But this force does not appeal to those who have recently settled in the county. Their lives and the lives of their relatives not being Interwo ven with the history of our growth, they look at the question from the viewpoint of dollars and cents. A large city bears the burden of the government of Multonomah County. The Immense wealth centered In the city makes the tax of the agricultural nectlon of the county very light. Prom this standpoint it Is not hard to un derstand the desire of those persons In the north end desiring annexation to Multonomah but we are unable to see what use Multnomah County masltes who seek to get under her sheltering wing on a cheap basis. Agitation of the question will proba bly develop the fact that Multonomah Is not looking for the opportunity to take up other people's burdens. Those seeking annexation natur ally put forth reasons other than the above for desiring the change; that Clackamas County Is a lawless com munity for example. But there Is nothing to be gained by subterfuge or evasion of the real point In Issue. If the question is to be raised It should be discussed on its merits and set tled In the open. A VALUABLE LESSON. Congressman Theodore L. Burton, chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, resigned his high place and went home to get elected Mayor of Cleveland, Ohio. He didn't get elected. And "thereby hangs a tale." To be sure Mr. Burton did not wish to give up one of the highest and most important positions in the gift of mighty State merely to become Mayor of Cleveland. But there was a game to be played. Mr. Taft must be President and Ohio must be solodlfled In his Interest and Tom Johnson, Democratic Mayor of Cleveland, must be unhorsed. It would never do to permit his election at this Important time. Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Taft and Mr, Burton figure it out very nicely that Mr. Burton can go home and with the , aid of the political machinery mat the Administration can control and exert in his favor, become Mayor of Cleveland. This office will then con stitute a very important political as set In Mr. Taft's Presidential capital Mr. Taft then, elected President, can take care of Mr. Burton. But the people of Cleveland, im pudent, disobedient people, set up the claim that they had a right to a voice in the selection of a Mayor. And they persistently refused to withdraw their absurd claim. To the chagrin of the little circle at Washington, D C. they decided to have Tom John son, a Democrat, for their Mayor. So Mr. Burton Is out of a Job and the Administration's Taft boom is slight- lv minctured. The Cleveland episode will very likely bear good fruit. It is very pro bable that Important cities will be permitted to conduct their local af fairs without interference from Wash ington. Cities usually have questions concerning the conduct of their mu nicipal affairs to solve, they have their own little private business, and they do not care to have such matters subservient to the wishes of National figures who play the political game to suit their own private purposes. Un doubtedly the Cleveland election taught sume men a much-needed les son. NO EXCU8E FOR FURTHER DELAY United States Attorney for Oregon appeared In the Federal District Court of Portland yesterday with a plea for trial on an Indictment found against him two years and eight months ago Mr. Hall should be tried. He should have been tried long ere this. Fail ure to grant his plea amounts to com plete denial of Justice. Other citizens of Oregon have suf fered similarly through the Govern ment's procrastination, hesitation, timidity or poverty whatever it Is that brought the land-fraud prosecu tions to stop months ago. There has been too much mystery and there have been too many contradictory reasons given for failure to proceed Desperate Coughs Dangerous coughs. Extremely perilous coughs.

One reason seems to be that Mr. Heney Is at San Francisco busy with other affairs. He has been engaged there for the past year or more, end from the present outlook he will be engaged for another year or more. Mr. Heney is an efficient and Intrepid prosecutor. The Gov ernment, no doubt, is anxious to se cure further convictions in Oregon But Mr. Heney cannot be everywhere and the numerous remaining defend ants here ought not to be required to await his pleasure. If he cannot come now, the cases should be turned over to some one else. It was understood and announced a while since that such an arrangement had been made, for at least part of the cases; yet nothing Is done, and many citizens here must continue to bear, as they have borne for months, the stigma Of charges they are given no oppor tunity to disprove. It Is not fair, nor right. If the Government shall not soon proceed, there will be ground for the belief, already current and grow ing, that in some of these cases at least it has no conclusive proor, ana that it nurooses to allow the defend ants, or some of them, to bear Inde finitely the burden of unproved ana unprovable charges. Portland Ore- gonlan. It appears that the public did not catch Editor Hearst's remarks arignt. What he must have said was that he would remain a worker In the ranks. An amiable contemporary under takes to point out In a long editorial "What Cuba Wants." Without stap "What Cuba Wants." Without sop- ably was something she hadn't got Some papers are congratulating Mr Rockefeller on his large part in check ing the financial panic. Perhaps, however, if It had not been for Mr. Rockefeller and his Ilk, there would not have been so much panic to need checking. s It probably Is no Jesting matter to the families of the deceased, but those army "test rides" seem to be clearing the active list even beyond the expectation of their promoters. The Signal Service announces that It will resume Its balloon Inflations In Washington early In December Just after Congress gets to work. What an economical Idea! The Secretary of the Treasury, af ter his strenuous exertions In Wall Street, will now put in a few minutes attending to the business of the gov ernment. The Czar of Russia has Just finish ed the 13th year of his reign and has no reason to dispute any of the things that have been said against that un lucky number. Japan is to abolish beheading in fa vor of life Imprisonment only an other Indication that the penitentiary is mightier than the sword. The result of the present elections looks like a direct blow at the mint Industry of the South. 8TATE AFTER SURETY. Demands .$100,000 .Under Bond of Treasurer Geo. A. Steel. Demand for $100,000 was served on the American Surety Company Tues day by the state on account of the failure of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, which has deposits of state funds amounting to $395,951.24 The surety company gave two $50,000 bonds to the state for the wrecked bank. The written demand was sign ed by State Treasurer Steel and pre sented by Attorney-General Crawford The demand was first made on Re ceiver Hill, of the bank, and on his refusal to give over the money, Mr. Crawford presented It to W. J. Clem ens, resident vice-president of the surety company. Mr. Clemens would not say that the Biirety company would admit Its lia bility and pay the money, but there is no doubt that it will do so. The state has made no demand as yet for further Indemnity from the surety company, under bonds for $550,000 additional, for Mr. Steel's handling of state funds as State Treasurer. The question first to be determined is whether Mr. Steel vi olated the law In doposlting the money with the Title bank. As his broach or the law seems clear, It Is only a question of time, until the state will ask the surety company to pay under these bonds also. One bond Is for $250,000 and th other Is for $300,- 000. District Attorney Manning Is prob ing the bank to gain evidence that will enable him to prosecute the of ficials of the Institution for receiving deposits when they knew It Insol vent. He believes the bank was In solvent many months before Its fail ure. Slugalsh Liver Foe to Ambition.

The forthcoming visit of "Human Hearts," at Shlvely's Opera House Monday, November 18, will no doubt be warmly welcomed by the lovers of all that Is good in melodrama, Human Hearts" is beyond question on of the strongest and most Inter esting of plays that has ever vis ited our city. The author belongs to that all too small group of dramatists who understand how to reach the heart and too hold the attention of the audience. In "Human Hearts" he has constructed a play that will never grow old. The principal theme of the play is "Hope," and has not some author written "Hope springs eternal In the human breast"? "Hope" tne one Bright ray of sunshine that breaks through and Illumines the ehwls of despair that almost over whelms poor "Tom Logan"; the Hope" of a good, pure woman's love: lie "Hope" of brighter days; the Hope" of an honest man unJuBtly ac cused of crime, that the criminal will be detected and his good name restor ed. The author has handled his sub ject with consuraate skill and ease that shows the true dramatic instinct. The love interest is all as absorbing. Mr. and Mrs. Vale, of Portland, were In the city Tuesday. They were formerly residents of Oregon City and Mr. Yale was employed In the construction of the dam at Cazadoro. He hag $5000 deposited In the Mer chants' National Bank. SCHOOL BACK TO OLD HOURS AFTERNOON SESSION OF HIGHER GRADES ENDS AT 3:40 O'CLOCK IN THE WINTER MONTHS. DIRECTORS CHANGE RULE Darkness In Recitation Rooms Made Successful Work Impossible Hours of Third Grade Also Shortened. Commencing next Friday the pupils of the nubile schools In all grades above the third will be dismissed at 3:40 P. M., and this rule will be In foise until Febraury 15, when the closing hour of 4 o'clock will be re sumed. In former years the closing hour was 3:40 o'clock, but the board of directors changed the time at the opening of the school year. Experi ence demonstrated, however, that during the Winter months that the darkness came on in the school rooms early In the afternoons, and that it Is impossible to do creditable work as late as 4 o'clock. The teachers filed a petition with the board to resume the former hours. The pedagogues very frequently are obliged to remain after the session hours to complete the work, and on account of the dark ness have been unable to accomplish results. In the third grade in both buildings the hour of dismissal In the after noon was changed from 3 o'clock to 2:30 o'clock, and this rule will apply at all times during the school year. This Is the same afternoon schedule as last year, and the order was made for the reason that with recess at 2:30 o'clock, continuing until 2:45 o'clock, allowed the pupils only 15 minutes of school worK, wnich was of little or no benefit to them. The report of the City Superinten dent McKee for the end of the first month of school shows that the total enrollment is 634, with a per cent of attendance of 94. In the Eastham building the enrollment was 304, and In the Barclay building 31. DEUT8CHE VEREIN MEETS. Presented With Flag of Fatherland By Dr. C. H. Melssner.

National 'Clvlo Federation Committlon Shows the Impracticability of 8ome Municipal Ownership Theories. An attempt has been made to belit tle the full committee report of the Na tional Civic ' federation because It doesn't settle offhand the entire ques tion of municipal ownership. Only those whose knowledge of the subject and of the personnel of the commis sion is most superficial expected any otner result than the one which has been attained and which Is. these crit ics to the contrary notwithstanding, of the greatest importance to those who are striving to solve this economic question on its merits rather than to get a Bnap decision favorable to their particular point of view. When It Is considered that the eighteen men who united in this report rpprrsent the most divergent views on the question as a whole It becomes evident that any points upon wh,lch they concur after their thorough investigation 0f the sub Ject must be considered as settled be yond ordinary question. It may not be. amiss, therefore, to point out some of the more Important of these conclu sions with their bearings on the sub ject as ordinarily presented. The American press, dally, weekly and monthly, has been filled with ac counts of the successful operation of public utilities Jn Great Britain, and the writers have deduced therefrom the conclusion that similar results are readily obtainable In this country. This conclusion Is entirely ruled out by the commission's report which, while not committing Itself on the question of the success or failure of British opera tion, asserts that the conditions of mu nicipal government In the two coun tries are so different that It is not safe to assume that any success which may have been attained In England would be likely to follow In the United States. Qoing further along the same line, the report Indicates that the conditions, both physical and political, differ so widely In our own cities that compari sons between them are likely to lead Investigators astray unless- all points of difference are given their full value, Heretofore the simple argument has been: "Smithtown has made a success of Its municipal plant Why should not Jonesvllle?" This naive form of reasoning has won for municipal own ership the unthinking support of thou sands whose mental training has not aocustomed them to look beneath the surface. The report would be well worth while If It succeeded In con vincing any considerable part of such people that the subject Is far more complex than they had supposed. Again, we are assured by the com mission that prerequisites of success ful municipal operation are an abso lute divorce of politics from the man agement of the plants and the adoption of thoroughgoing business methods, a millennial condition of which there Is no Immediate prospect for most of our cities. It has Indeed been held that munici pal reform would result Immediately from an Increase of municipal respon sibility. The commission Is unanimous In stating Its belief that such a result Is not to be hoped for, and Its conclu sion is borne out by the fact that at present the character of the officials of our various cities bears no apparent relation to the magnitude of municipal undertakings, except perhaps that as a general rule It may be said that the larger the field of operations the stron ger Is the grip of the boss and the greater the amount of graft The com mission sets aside this particular po litical theory with the statement, "We are unable to recommend municipal ownership as a political panacea." In other words, It concurs In the teach ings of the parable of the talents that unfaithfulness in a few things doesn Indicate a likelihood of faithfulness in more Important things. Taken as a whole, the message of the commission to our cities is: "Go slow ly. Don't be swept off your feet by demagogues or vlBlonarles, for the risks are too serious to be lightly un dertaken without full Investigation." ONE PET THEORY DOWNED Interest In Clvlo Matters Not Inoreased ' by Munloipal Ownerthlp. Advocates of municipal ownership tell us that the ownership and manage ment of public utilities by the munici pality Is Invariably accompanied by greatly Increased interest In munici pal affairs by the rate payers. As has been pointed out in these columns on many occasions, this Is one of the pet theories which, as a theory, Is Indis putable, but which in actual practice has proved time after time most dls appointing. Another Instance has just come to hand. Edmonton is extensively adver tised as the banner municipal owner ship town of the Canadian west Its civic officials have acquired much dex terity in throwing bouquets at one an other and even at themselves. Accord ing to theory, public Interest In munici pal affairs in that town should always at a white heat But it Is not The other day the 2,000 rate payers on the roll were invited to express their opinion upon bylaws adopted by the council Involving the expenditure of the large sum, for Edmonton, of $250,- 000 for various municipal Improve ments. Of the 2,000 qualified voters 153 only, or one out of every twelve, found their way to the polls. Editorial In Montreal Gazette.

National Congress Will Draft Bill to Stop Wrong Practices. JOPLIN, Mo., Nov. 12. Three hun drede delegates from 30 states were present here to day at the first business-session of the American Mining Congress. Many high authorities on matters pertaining to mining and met allurgy were on the programme for addresses on, various kindred sub jects. A committee of five was named to draft a measure that will prevent min ing engineers from aiding in the per petuation of mining frauds. A resolution asking the Federal Government to Issue separate patents to land suitable for both mining and agrlcutural purposes, and classifying mineral land as "mineral land" only was submitted, but action was defer red. A resolution declaring for an ad valorem tax on Imported zinc ores worth $30 a ton was adopted, and each member pledged himself to work for the adoption of such tax by ad dressing a letter to his Congressman urging It. In an interview President Richards stated -that President Roosevelt a few days ago told him he would rec ommend to the National Congress the establishment of a bureau of mining similar to the Department of Agri culture. The President added that the next congress would be held in the East, probably at Columbus, Ohio. BEST OF PROOF. That Hyomel Will Cure All Forms of Catarrhal Diseases. Oregon City and nearby towns, that Hyomel is an absolute cure for all catarrhal troubles, but the best proof of its unusual curative powers Is the guarantee that Huntley Bros. & Co. give with every outfit that they sell, "Money back If Hyomel does not do all that Is claimed for It." Hyomel Is not a secret remedy. Its formula Is given freely to physicians who want to know what they use when they prescribe Hyomel. It is guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Law by serial No. 1418. By breathing Hyomel, the healing medication goes to every nook and and corner of the air passages where the chatarrhal germs may lurk, and disinfects and heals. To be convin ced of this you have only to give It a trial, remembering that It does not cure, Huntley Bros. & Co. will refund your money. The complete Hyomel outfit costs but $1.00 and in most cases is suf ficient to cure the disease, making it not only a scientific treatment but one that is highly economical.
