OUR LEGISLATURE Since the Initiative and referendum passed and our people are rated as capable law makers the majority to rule, our Legislature is a sort of eo- ond handed affair or an organisation under the rule of thumb methods. If after forty days and forty nights of relfm.and a flood of laws are handed down for the public to obey, some ot us think that we dont like the way the I-eglslature treated ua we ait down and draw up a referendum peti tion, secure the necessary number ot aignatures and then pass it up to the voter to say "I dont like It either. We place a good "knocking" heading on our bill and the majority of the people vote "yes.' j What is the use of the Legislature If we are to undo their work? If we cannot co away with one method or law making in Its entirety, why tie Its hands and feet and allow It to die In agony? The Legislature Is a ne cessity, and the best men in the var ious communities should be encourag ed to give their time and minds to the Important work demanded of that body. But, as long as we hinder them In their work, it will be a difficult matter to get the best men into the game. Meantime, we continue to bring up and pass matters through two sources to the, detriment of the state at large.. to satisfy the majority of the people with a law understood by only a few seems sn Impossibility. These diffi culties will always come up with the present system of law making by the people. If we all wore lawyer and hnd the time to atudy out tha nlggera In the various proposed bills all well and good, but we ar not all lawyers and very few of us would take the time if we could study the propostlons presented. MONEY In this life we learn among our first lessons that we can buy things with money. As we grow up, we find that some people will do most any thing for money steal, kill and even sell themselves. Very few suc ceed In their money mad work without detection. Their stories are told by the daily press. Some go to prison; others miss the searching of the grand Jury. Their ains hurt them, but in their mad ruth for money they wil lingly do anything to cover them up. They try to hide them behind the pil lars ot some church, but evil will out Their life work is the talk . ot the neighborhood finally the daily press views the situation and airs It Conclusion: there Is one way to cor rect the Injury that evil doing have brought upon him; If he can only se cure money the people will see that he is wronged. Money, money, taint ed money, how the world lovea thee. SUIT FOR SALARY LOST BY BURNS OREGON CITY BEAUTIFUL A stranger in Oregon City on Sat urday remarked that he never aaw greater signs of prosperity anywhere than here. The atorea were all full the streets showed men, women and children In large numbers; new homes are going up in all directions; new streets being laid out and .traded; automobiles on every corner. He was amazed at the spirit shown, and ask ed, "How do you do it?" We could only answer that our large pay roll stands behind our motto "la unity there is strength." Very few, of us consider the great value of our industrial plants. Just a week ago Salem paid a bonus of 13000 for a small factory just to get more pay roll We don't need to pay bonuses, we have the best Industrial pay rolls in the state and with a it tie encouragement it would probably be an easy matter to induce further investment here, all of which means "More pay roll." Shall we aid? LOVERS OF LABOR A man high up in political and legal life some two years ago sold a farm to a hard working man with a large family to support; the note given in part payment became due about a month ago; the man meantime had greatly Improved the place, had clear ed many acres and expected this sea son to get large returns, more than sufficient to make the payment due. On demand be asked for time; the man's wife begged for time but mon ey mad men cannot give time; they must have money. The poor man lost his farm; he was driven off. The original owner had a perfect right to do as he did; he had the law on his side. The records of Clackamas Coun ty show the transaction. Does this show love for labor? Does this ac tion, show the original owner trying to aid the poor laborer to better him self? But such Is the work of the money mad. THE MOLALLA RAILROAD Pay by day the good work goes on and It will only be a short while be fore our Molalla road Is In operation The contract covers the work to Sit verton but can be cancelled at Molal la if desired: Now that work is be gun In earnest It will be an easy task to get subscriptions to carry the road the rest of the distance, and when the people see the Canby-Molalla road fall by the way side there will be more boosters for the road which taps the best part of the Molalla valley. We have the real thing taken Into camp and by winter everybody will be a Clackamas Southern booster. Those romoting this road deserve better than can be given them by this community. JUDGE K AKIN HOLDS THAT PLAINTIFF MUST PROVE HE IS CHIEF SHAW'S STATUS IS NOT AfFECTED Court Decide Former Polio Head Doe Not Ow City For Over-Payment Of -Salary JOYOUS JOY RIDING A thought for consideration at the next meeting of the Automobile Club. There U an Orphanage at Oswego 100 or more girlg who have never had an automobile ride. Why not, go with 40 machines and take them all for a "Joy ride" for such It most cer tainly would be then why not repeat the performance by taking the babies from the baby home at Parkplace? What better work could be done? THE ELKS ARE COMING Rose Shows are now past history. Booster and Bargain Days are paying investments and now we look forward to the big time during the Elks' con vention. If Oregon City gets 10,000 visitors during that week, what will we do with them? We are generally good providers help the committee In Its work. AUTOMOBILE CLUB What will the automobile club do about the many good roads bills to be voted on at the next general elec tion? There are so many propostlons to be considered that It will take a Philadelphia lawyer to study out which will be the best legally, while GARY'S DECISION State Superintendent ot Schools Alderman has upheld the decision of County Superintendent Gary in the case of the dismissal by the directors ot Tbmas B. Lovelace, teacher of the Viola District Mr. Gary held that the evidence was not sufficient to justify the dismissal of the teacher. It Is thought that Lovelace will make an effort to collect his salary for the full term. The controversy started over a complaint that the janitor of the school did not keep the building clean. As a result the directors waited upon Lovelace, and a fisticuff occurred be tween him and Thomas Cocker line, in which the teacher was severely beat en. He was dismissed several days later by the directors, and appealed to Superintendent Gary. It Is now well known that not more than one case of rheumatism In ten requires any internal treatment what ever. All that is needed Is a free ap plication of Chamberlain's Liniment and massaging tne parts at each ap plication. Try It and see how qulck ly It will relieve the pain and sore ness.

Circuit Judge Eakln Wednesday decided In favor of the defendant In the case ot Charles K. Hums, appointed Chief ot Police by Mayor Dlmlck, against the city. The council by vote ot eight to one re fused to approve the appointment ot Burns, and has made a fight for the retention of & U Shaw. Bums act ed as chief tor four months, aud Shaw is still acting, but neither has receiv ed any salary. Krtends of Shaw aay the decision la a victory for him while friends ot Burns declare that nothing la settled except that he can not obtain hia salary until he proves through some other legal action than the suit for salary that he la the chief. I'nder the decision Burns must nay coots. The plaintiff was represent ed by Cros Hammond and the de fendant by J. E. Hedges. Judge Eakln dismissed the counter claim of the city against Burns tor 1795 said to have been overpayment ot salary when Burns was chief sev eral years ago. The opinion in part follows: The charter ot the city provides: "Sec. 45. The mayor has power and it is his duty to organise, govern and conduct the police force within the limits aforesaid and shall to that end: 1. Appoint a Chief ot Police and a suitable force ot regular policemen. such appointee to be confirmed by a majority of the Council' While Section 57 of the charter pro vides: "Sec. 57. The Chief of Police and his sureties shall be responsible to the city or any person aggrieved the same as sheriffs and their sureties now are. Before entering upon the duties of his office, be shall file a bond In such sum as the Council may fix by ordinance, which bond shall be approved by the Mayor, and subscribe and take an oath that he will faithful ly perform the duties ot Chief rT Po lice during his continuance in office. Every regular policeman, ahall etc," Ordinance No. 122 provides as follws: "Sec. 1. The amount of the official bond to be required by the Chief ot Police shall be and hereby is fixed at Two Thousand Dollars ($2000.00.)" It will be seen from these provi sions of the charter and ordinances of the city, and from the evidence ad duced at the trial, that the plaintiff was not at the times alleged in the complaint the regularly qualified Chief of Police of the defendant city; and If he was acting In the capacity ot Chief at all, he waa only acting aa an officer de facto and not as one de Jure. But this Is an action against the city for the salary of Chief of Police, In which capacity, plaintiff alleges be waa duly qualified and acting, which facts are denied by the defndant but whether or not he is the qualified Chief of Police ot this city cannot be determined in this action, to do so would be to adjudicate the right ot E. L. Shaw (the other claimant to the omce) to said office, but be Is not a party to this action .and judgment in this action would be of no effect against him. Before he could be ad judged to be acting without authori ty, he would have a right to be heard, and the city is not authorized to ap pear tor him, any more than it is auth orized to appear for plaintiff. Consequently, no judgment which this Court could make In this case could determine the right to the of fice as between the plaintiff and E. L. Shaw, the actual Incumbent of the of fice. This question was fully discussed and decided in the case of Selby vs. City of Portland, reported In the 14 Or., at page 243. It is therefore clear that the title to the office cannot be determined In his action. And It seems to me, as clearly, to follow, that the plaintiff cannot maintain an action for the sal ary of the office until title thereto has first been determined. If plaintiff is occupying the office merely de facto he Is not entitled to the salary, even though there be a vacancy in the office. His Incumbency would be wrongful, and be cannot make advantage to himself by his own wrong, consequently his right to maintain an action for the salary per taining to the office must depend upon his first establishing his right to the office.

The Bank of Oregon City THE OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY EX-OREGON CITY HAN The corpse of Frank Starvasnik, an Austrian, forty-five year old, who left here about two weeks ago for Colo rado, has been recovered from the river In Chicago.

A fortnight ago he departed with Frang Laben to seek work In the Colorado mines, where. It said, he had been employed before. Since then nothing had been beard from him until the news of his death.

ChUaso, 111., June 19. Cries of "Hadley for President" brought forth a demonstration that kept the Republican national conven tion In an uproar for more than 40 minutes. Cheers greeted the Missouri govern or when he waa led to the front ot the stage during argument on hla mo tion to purge the roll of contested delegates. Someone cried "HadleyJ for president, and hundreds of vole- took it up. Then the different del egatlon began marching around tb ball. A woman In one the galleries un furled a large lithograph of Theodore Roosevelt. Immediately the clamor increased. She was escorted to the front ot the convention hall and lift ed to the press box. The din became erriftc. finally the police requested her to return to her seat In the gnl- lery. She obeyed, still carrying rem nants or .the picture- After the short recess Judge Rob ert E. Morris declared that the charges or fraud in Ariiona were baseless and defended the action of the Arizona state committee in calling the regu lar state convention which elected the Taft delegates. 'Everything was regular and In ac cord with the exact procedure of the party," he declared. The Roosevelt men started to Invalldats the state convention by flimsy, fictitious con tests to keep the representation below the legal figure. We took steps to pre vent this, and when bese sharp tricks railed 'hey begun to shout fraud I deny, that the central committee was controlled by federal office hold ers. There were three officials among 13. And the charge circulated here Is absolutely false and without found ation." "They say there was fraud." yelled Morris. "I throw the charge Into their teeth. All that was used by Taft men was parliamentary tactics. The fact of the matter was that ha Re publicans whether they were Demo crats " , Thomas H. Devlne, of Colorado, who is slated for chairman ot the credentials committee, should the Taft people control, spoke against the Had ley amendment. He expressed sur prise over the Hadley amendment, saying the governor had endorsed the committee when it had ruled In his favor In the Missouri cases. . Devlne said Hadley "only stood by agree ments when it waa to bis interest to do so," snd the assertion was hissed, booed and Jeered by the Roosevelt delegates. Devlne. who Is a member of the na tional committee characterized the action of the Roosevelt forces in stir ring U!) the contests in the south as "the most damnable In the history of the Republican party." "The evidence before the commit tee," Devlne said "showed that an emissary from the north, whether loded or unloaded I don't know went down into the south from 30 to 60 days after the regular delegates had been honestly elected, and stirred up certain contests and engineered rump conventions." Every statement by Devlne was re ceived with cheers from the Taft men and with wild Jeers and hisses from the Roosevelt forces. "Let me tell you something," shout ed Devlne. "Out of the 107 contests from the south filed before tha com mittee 101 of the names placed on the temporary roll were put there by the unanimous vote of the national com mute, the Roosevelt men voting with the Taft men." "There are 107 counties In Texas which never held a Republican con vention," shouted Devlne. 'They are mostly peopled by prairie dogs and Democrats. Rut Colonel Lyon sends out to his friends a list ot what he wants done and he gets It done." Hadley then called on C C. Middle ton of Texas, who, he said, was a Taft Instructed delegate, to argue the Tex as case for the Roosevelt men. Mlddleton began by saying tbat he expected to cast his vote in the In terst of President Taft, but that he wanted to deny Devine's charges and his "damnable assaults on the char acter of the Republican party In Tex as and on Colonel Lyon. "I am for President Taft," shouted Mlddleton, "but this thing of cussln' out Cecil Lyon Is unfair. He has built up an organization In Texas in which the gates of hell will not pre vail." John Mackey of Detroit spoke against the Hadley amendment and immediately attacked the fairness of the Roosevelt forces. The mention of PresMent Taft's name was marked by a brief cheer ing demonstration during which the Taft men climbed on their chair. Charles P. Taft, the president's brother, led the cheering from his seat with the Ohio delegation and ap peared to be enjoying himself im mensely. Maurice L. Gavin of Kentucky at tacked the Roosevelt contests from the blue grans state, characterizing them as 'unfair and without merl t or foundation." Former Congressman Watson of In- REASONS 1Y REVISED CHARTER SHOULD BE ADOPTED In proposing a new charter for Ore gon City the committee had In mind snd have attempted to present some thing which would simplify the city government aud reduce the number of eltlcera and at the same time pre serve the representation from the dif ferent localities of the city, , ' A council of nine member ha dem onstrated Hint It Is difficult to get so ninny together when prompt action is required In any mutter, besides the diversity ot opinion, as to detail and sometimes aa to non-easentlnls, rend ers It almost Impossible to get them to agree on matters ot vital neces sity to the city, and the best Interests of the city suffer In the meantime. Since the Inst general election, the people of Oregon City have witnessed a contest between the Mayor and Council which has been undignified, unbuslness Ilk and such as to attract the attention unfavorably of people nil over the slate of Oregon, and to put Oregon City In a very unenviable position. Without attempllong to pass upon the merits ot the controversy be tween the Msyor and he City Council, we wish to call attention of the peo ple of Oregon City to these matters only for the purpose ot emphasising some ot the proposed changes In the c'ly charter, aa such conditions could not exist under It. In view ot the foregoing fuels th committee. In section ft of the propos ed charter, made and provided for the election of fivo rounrllnien Instead of nine. In order tbat each section of tha city would be Insured representa tion In Ihe city council, the new char tor provides that one councilman should be elected from each ward, and that two councllmvn should be elect ed at large; that the councllinvn from the wards should be elected for three years, and the councilman at large should be elected for two years, aud so arranged the election that after the gem ml election In 1913. two coun oilmen only would be elected each year. Ihe recall Is still retained so that any, or all, of the councllmen may bu recalled at the pleasure ot the voters, subject only to the provisions of the Slate constitution, t'nder these provisions, unless recalled, there will always be three councllmen In office who have served, at least, one year. The proposed charter doea away with electing a Mayor. The council men. each year after taking their seats, will elect a chairman from one of their members, who will be mayor for one year. This provision Insures entire harmony between the majority of the council and the presiding of ficer, and It effectually prevents a sit uation such as Is now witnessed be tween the mayor and council, and Is largely responsible for the luck of co operation which at times displays It self In the police force. It, also, pre vents a man from becoming mayor through the votes of people who vote under promise of appointments, or other promise In favor of certnln person or classes, and detrimental to the city at large. (These provisions aro contained In section t of lbs pro posed charter.) The other olTlcers of the city, ex cept the chief of police, are appoint ed by th council In practically the siune mnnner as under the provision of Ihe old charter, except that the city treasurer Is uow elected by th vot ers, I'nder the proposed choline he will be appointed by the council. All tha appointees hold their utiles at the plcnsure of the council., The next change of liuportnitc Is the provision for the appointment of a bualneis malinger. Ills snlnry Is to be fixed by th council, but Is not to exceed :f00 per year. Of course the council will pay only such salary as Is necessary to procure th services of k competent person, and If on can be had at a smaller salary the coun cil will not nay I'jr.oo per year, but smaller snlnry aa shall b agreed up on. He holds his ofllc during the pleasure of the (Oiincll. Th busi ness manager cannot hold an office In the council, nor any other ofllc un der this charter. He must give all his time to the business of the city. He has charge of keeping the streets clean and In repair, and does away entirely with the present oltlce of street commissioner or superintend ent It, also, does away with the ap pointment of an engineer or survey or and leaves the employment of such persons to the business mnnagxr. They ran be hired when needed and to do specific things, and discharged when unsatisfactory or when their work Is completed. (Section 63.) I The chief of police, will be splint ed by th mayor as provided In the present charter, but must be confirm ed by Ihe council before taking his especial attenllon.

He wss warmly cheered as he ramo forward but a Pennsylvania delegate caused a laugh by piping "He's the man that made Indiana Democratic." "What I want you delegatea to re member. In voting on this question," he said, 'Is that this convention has no right to Judge of the merits of these contests. The National com mittee sat for ten days. It spent much Ime hearing the evidence. Then by better than a two to one vote, It made up the temporary roll. "I don't believe In mob law. You ran say. Throw them out,' but that Is not Republicanism. 1 am authorised by my friend. Governor Hadley, to say tbat he himself Is willing, with certnln modifications, to send these contests where they belong to the committee on credentials." A wild yell went up from the Roose velt forces at this announcement "Let hlrn speak for himself!" shouted 100 voices, and Watson turned- and brought Hadley forward. The Missouri governor stood smil ing while the delegates cheered. It was the first real, spontaneous enthus iasm of the convention. More than half the delegates were on their chairs. Hats were swluging and hand kerchiefs were waving while Hadley and Watson, representing the two great factions In the party .stood smil ing sid by side. For five minutes the demonstration tlnued and the froces were being augmented every second. Already the Taft men from New York were talking among themselves. "lAok like they might try to stma- pede the convention for Hadley," whispered he veteran Chauncey M. Depew to William Iterry, who stood alongside of him. As this word was passed, James W. Wardsworth waved to his delegatea and the members Jumped to their chairs yelling, cheer- Inns and adding to the din. Part of Indiana Joined In the demonstration, headed by Jim Hemenway. At this time Kentucky, Texas, New York, Mississippi, Illinois and Louisi ana and Ohio were the only states whose standards remained in place. although some of the others had on ly moved to the aisles. New York and Indiana were on their chairs and there was a wide smile on the faces of the leaders. They op enly asserted that they believed that the stable door wss open and that the "dark horse" was being saddled. The remainder of the California, Kansas and Maryland delegations were chant ing In unison. "We want Teddy; we want Teddy." The Hadley shouters were getting the better of it and the California delegates started rival demonstration. William llarnes, Jr., leader of the Taft forces, was asked what be thought of the demonstra tion. He said: "I am waiting to see what they are going to do with these contests. I am not discussing any compromise proposilon. I am Just watlng for the return of these delegates and order to be restored. I don't believe that many of these men who are cheering know what they are cheering about" "Hadley for president; Hadley for president!" It started the cheering all over again and the convention waa again beyond control when Sergeant at Arms Stone led Coleman off the stage. Hem eway of Indiana, Insisted that the Taft men were Intact despite the demons tration. Mrs. W. A. Davis, wife of a Chicago lumberman, who was seated In the center of the right band gallery, start ed the greatest uproar of the demon stration by unrolling a huge litho graph of the colonel. As the beauti ful woman, stunningly gowned, enter ed Into the spirit of the moment, and holding the picture at arms length, threw kisses to the crowd, th dele gate and spectators alike went wild. Mr. Davis held the picture In ber band for a few moments .and when the bear mounted standard of Cali fornia was passed np to her In the galleries she kissed It snd alternately kissed the Roosevelt picture. By this tim much of the original enthusiasm for Hadley had been con verted Into a demonstration for th woman, whose enthusiastic spirit hud been contuglous enough to luoculute the thousands that packed the Colis eum. Bo enger were delegates and other enthusiasts to greet the woman tbat It waa necessary for the police to form a guard about ber, and when In an ef fort to quiet things the police asked her to withdraw temporarily, the ac tion was met by a chorus of hisses and booing. It was 41 minutes after the demon stration begun before Hadley was ab le to make himself heard. E E The Portland Stars, niannged by R. R. Llbby, and the West Sldo Midgets of Gladstone engaged In an exciting baseball game at Chautauqua Park Sunday afternoon. The game was fust and snappy to the last Inning and not until the last man was out did the Portland men admit the defeat The score was 3 to 1 In fnvor of Gladstone. The umpires were Scbooley and Dnnn. The features of the game wore the heaving hitting of the Midgets and the twirling of Donnelllo, of Portland. Portland owes Its defeat to the non- support of Its pitcher. The batteries for Llbby's Sara were Donnellle and Rlmlano, and for the Midgets were Matrau and Victor Gault The Midgets are preparing for the game the Fourth of July, when Glad stone will have a home-coming, and the Midguts will meet the East Side Giants, ot Gladstone.
