Hughes said the other day when asked if he would accept the candidacy at Chicago if the conven tion should offer it to him was over looked in the hurly-burly of the mo ment, but it should not be forgotten. That No is likely to have more influ ence on the relations between the ju diciary and the parties in the future than was realized at the time. As a compromise candidate who would unite the Roosevelt and the Taft ele ments of their party, Justice Hughes had attractions. Men in both fac tions naturally turned to him when the conflict between the two big aspir ants seemed to be entering the irre pressible stage. As a former leader of a party which had elected him twice in succession to the governor ship of the greatest of the states, and also as a man who received many votes for the presidential candidacy while holding the governorship, Jus tice Hughes would naturally be will ing to make some personal sacrifices Deep Decay Has Eaten Into Study .of the Classics In America By Professor G. GILBERT MURRAY, Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford DEEP DECAY HAS EATEN INTO THE STUDY OF THE CLASSICS IN AMERICA and widespread conscious ness of it. I was struck by the general sense of regret for the lost inheritance. The decay is in part due to Dr. Eliot's policy at Harvard. He abolished compulsory Greek. It was an experiment which should have been tried in a laboratory less noble than Harvard. America is educating a vast democracy with SPLENDID PUB LIC SPIRIT AND SUCCESS. The general effectiveness of the education and the public zeal for it impresses one deeply. I can see quite well that circumstances demanded that a quick, cheap, business like education should be given to meet the needs of the immediate moment. IT SEEMED A WASTE OF TIME TO GO TO THE MARKET PLACE BY WAY OF ATHENS, BUT I THINK A TIME HAS COME WHICH DEMANDS DEEPER, MORE SOLID AND THEREFORE SLOWER EDUCATION, t Great insurgent forces are at work in the United States, and CITIZENSHIP WELL REQUIRE IN FUTURE FINER TRAIN ING AND VISION THAN IN THE PAST. At Oxford we must preserve our ancient individuality and con tinue to teach the classics in the old, thorough way. .The. American universities, admirable as they are, cannot give education like our , " lJ " g 1 1 tn f op of Ion rn in g. - ' - ' ETrAlNrC in mm ttS BROAX DAY SLIGHT to bring peace to his party. But in refusing in 191Z'to accept a nomination under any circumstances Justice Hughes took the higher and better course. He determined, in his own case, to keep the Supreme Court j out of politics. The constitution fram ers made the legislative, the execu tive and the judicial departments of the government independent of each other, and this particular member of the last named division of the govern ment has refused to countenance any act which would diminish the popular confidence in the independence and sincerity of his guild. Many members of the Supreme Court Benjamin R. Curtis, David Davis, Samuel F. Miller, Stephen J. Field, John M. Harlan and others were often mentioned in connection with the presidential nomination of one or other of the great parties. In Whig and Republican conventions John McLean figured for many years as a receptive candidate. .. This gave their affiliations a partisan aspect, and diminished the public confidence in their independence and sincerity as jurists. Justice Hughes' little word No will go far toward keeping the er mine free from all taint of partisan and factional bias. Twice Flattered. One must be a genius to be a success fill barber. One is reminded of the tonsorial artist who operated In the same village for fifty years and never made a mistake In his early days a handsome boy got in his chair. "Shave, sir?" asked the barber. "You flatter me," laughed the youth. "You flatter me. No; 1 can only use a hair cut." Years passed in fact, thirty years did. The same man came to the same barber. "Hair cut. sir?" asked the barber. "Yon flatter me!" sighed the man "No only a shave." Cleveland Plain Dealer. He Was Practical. "I tried a number of educated office boys," said a New York business wo man, "and they wouldn't do. They knew a lot of things that I didn't need in my business and none of the things that I did need, so I put an ad. in the papers, and a freckle faced kid called "'I'm Mugsy Cullane.' said he "'Well?' I said " 'Gee,' said he, "ain't you heard of me? Why, I'm the guy that worked out how to go to Coney island on transfers wit' one nickel. I had me pitcher in duh poipers.' "Practical! That's the word. Prac tical! There" never was an office boy like that red headed kid." Cincinnati Times-Star. The Living. Sis Why did you throw up your sit uation, Ernest?

Wherin Scoop Interviews a Hold-up Of THE- COMe.RCrH"T rNE.RVE -HOLDING L UP f FAMILY N MISTER H0L.D-VJP MAN IS OPSTWRS THE BATHROOM1 Grangers Hear Plea for Enfranchisement of Women The following address on Woman's Suffrage was made before the Maple Lane Grange by Lawrence L. Gardner: The question of woman's suffrage has in fact only one argument and that is the one in favor of it. Abraham Lincoln said "I go for all sharing the privileges of government who assist in bearing its burdens, by no means excluding women." And why should she be excluded? There is no sane argument against giving her the privileges of govern ment. You can be sure that we see to it that she pays her taxes. There is no exemption because she is a wom an, consequently she should suffer the same penalty as a man if she refused to pay; yet she has no voice in saying what that tax shall be. She pays her taxes but has not voice in determin ing how that money that she has paid shall be used. It may be used wrong fully or wrongfully appropriated, yet she is obliged to stand by helpless unable to protect her interests. Then again if women are not given the right of suffrage why should they be obliged to obey the law? Did a woman ever commit a crime and be detected and go unpunished? No. She must obey the law, yet she has no word in saying what that law shall be. Is that justice? Still we call this a Dem ocratic government. When the first woman's- rights convention convened at Seneca Falls in 1848, the move ment was scouted, and its advocates were called fanatical agitators. With what feeling do we regard those pio neer suffragettes today? It is with a feeling of infinite gratitude and re spect because they had the spirit and the courage to stand up for the prin ciples of true Democracy... What ad vancement have women made since 1848? At this time 6 states in the union are giving equal suffrage to women. Those states are Utah, Col orado, Wyoming, Washington , Kan sas and California. Oregon gives property owners the right to vote at school elections. Fourteen states of the union give woman the guard ianship of her children. Women are filling honorable positions of trust to day. She has extended her work into all avenues, work that fifty years ago would nave been deemed a shame and unwomanly for her to attempt. And she is doing it in a modest and dig nified manner. Right here comes the question: Are women lowering mens' wages by do ing mens' work cheaper than men would do the same work? If this is true then here is one capital reason why women should have the ballot, that fshe can have a voice in legisla ting in regard to her labor. It is the only solution to the problem. We allow our women to work to support themselves and their families. Why not give her the right to the bal lot that she may protect herself also. Judge Ben Lmdsley says: "Colorado, since adopting womans' suffrage has the sanest, most humane, the most progressive, and the most scientific law relating tp the child to be found on any statute books in the world. Seventy-five years women were not admitted to the colleges. At that time mere was a greater onnosition against the higher education of wom en tnan there is now against her po litical ireeaom. The wise prophets saia mat it would be unwomanly; that the homes would be broken up; that the children would be neglected; that the socks would go undarned- Hilt nrAmnn .. .1 1 , . . .,cU luigeu aneaa. sne was not scared out by the old customs and traditions. She made a place for her- seir m the colleges, and she has re. tained it with dignity and honor. Some of the brighter intellects that we have toaay are college bred women. I don't think that the homes have suffered, nor the echidren in them. It is quality we need ana not quantity. Who wishes to go back to the hand looms and knitting needles? Pvnariannn V n n 4.

You can't keep down one-half of hu inanity ana elevate the other half. the men of our country have advan- cea in every respect. They are be coming more liberal in their- views They are getting out of the narrow channel of the past; a feeling for the universal welfare of humanity is on uie ascenaency, and our men hav not come to this point by keeping women 01 tneir country in the same lines that our great grandmothers ronowed.

VV I V. 1- - " ' A I I I countries where women have been treated as lower creatures? There has been the invariable result that the men have been of a lower type. Where women have been advanced, men have advanced. You don't keep down the mothers and expect the sons to be well de veloped mentally and physically. Science teaches us that the son is more likely to inherit from the moth er. Therefore the mothers of our country ought to have every privilege politically that the fathers and hus bands have, and educationally. "The opposition say that the home is the sphere of women. Certainly it is. Voting will not lessen womens' in flunce in the home, but increas it by giving her power to make laws for the safeguard of the home and her children. To hear some people talk you would think women would be ob liged to give up home and work in order to vote. It does not take a man long to go once in two years to the polls and drop in a piece of paper, and generally they do not consider it a very arduous task. I do not see why it should take a woman any long er, or that she would need to neglect home. I have heard of some men who were so solicitous of their wives' wellfare that they considered the duty of voting too laborious. Still these same men would allow their wives to carry in all of the stove wood and light the fires. Some even say that the polls are not a suitable place for women to frequent. If such is the case it is high time that the women did take the matter up and go to the polls and clean things up . In advancing this flimsy and dis paraging excuse these men are only giving themselves away by showing what corrupt places are allowed to ex ist through their indolence or even their aid. Also the opposition bring up that women would want to fill of fice. What if they did? They will not try to fill and office for which they are not competent, and as for sheriff, judging from the number of male aspirants for that office, the men would, be only too willing to re lieve the women of that duty; Another worn out excuse is that if women had the ballot they neces sarily wouuld have to go to war. Is not the time coming when -there will be no war? And even if there should be war we find that women do their part, not always in the field, but more often in the hospitals where her labors are of great value. Besides I might ask where would there be any men to send if there were no women? Also-the opposing side claim that increasing the number of votes would increase the expense of the election. If that theory were true, then cut down the male vote to the head of the family. But every man has not a fam ily nor has every woman. There has been advancement, but it is far from being complete. Human society is never at a standstill. Gov ernments are either advancing or re ceding. The laws - of our "western states are more advanced and liberal than are eastern and southern states. Some of the laws of the older states are worthy pi the dark ages. There are six states in the union, namely: Tennesse, Deleware, Maryland, Vir ginia, Geogia, and Florida, which have laws giving the father the right at his death to take away from his wid ow the guardianship of his child and give it to any one else. And in most states the father is the sole guardian of the children so long as he lives. Is this right, or just? Ask any moth er. How long do you think such laws would exist if women had the right to abolish them. We see hundreds of uneducated men going to the polls to vote, men who cannot write their own names, men who are not American born citi zens and such men help to make the laws of this state. And intelligent American women, the descendents In some instances of those men who fought in the revolution, are obliged to stand back, are not considered citi zens 'in the true sense of the word. . In increasing the vote the quality is increased more than the quantity, since there are more moral than im moral women. I think woman will gladly resign the privileges accorded to her as de pendants and inferiors through cus tom, and accept a substantial equality. Shall we allow the new new republic of China to take the lead as it started out to do by enfranchising the women equally with the men? If we do, more,! shame to us. . We feel grateful to our Revolutionary fathers for the great work that they did. But they left the. work incompleted through bloodshed what we can accomplish 'by means of the ballot today. The same theory holds good now and forever. Taxa tion without representation is tyranny.

Morning Enterprise, to the Editor: Now that the battle is over, a stran ger within our gates may express hts opinion of that wonderful new charter which the electorate so wisely reject ed the other day. Apart from the somewhat weird Eng lish that clothed one or two of its pro visions it differed little in essence from the thousand and one quack rem edies labelled "Commission Form of Government" which second and third class cities throughout the land are hoping will cure all the ills of the body politic. - One of the fundamental rules of American government is that there shall be no taxation without repre sentation. This rule is further amp lified by such conceded facts as the undeniable intelligence of the people as a whole, an intelligence which has given them the Initiative, the Refer endum, and the Recall. Oregon, and Oregon City in no way lag behind. It is said that we get just the sort of government we deserve. Certain it is that our city dads are there be cause the majority of votes put them there. To say that our present system lends itself to the wrong man in of fice, is only another way of - saying that bur citizenship is either ignorant or unreliable, a charge which the facts in the case will not support What is there in the Commission form of Government, that will insure a more honest officeholder than we get today, seeing it is exactly the same ballots that elect? If the voter has not intelligence or decency enough to get the right sort of man under the present system, how is he going to better matters under the new? Yet it is proposed to do away with a sys tem which gives the humblest house owner or voter a representative "who is a neighbor of his, a man acquainted with the needs of the localitiy; one whose interests are his interests, and substitute in his place some man or body of men, who know nothing of any locality, (in the intimate sense) out-. side of their own ,and whose interests would undoubtedly be foreign to "the majority of voters And the business manager! Joke! ! Then again, why should we assume that these five men will be any more intelligent, or honest than the men at present in office? If under the system the wrong men are in office, the fault is with the voter not the system Far better to educate the voter up to the measure of the tremendous privilege of American citizenship, rather than down to the European level of permit ting a selected few of superior beings to do his thinking for him. Leave his City Charter alone. He'll wake up, never fear. He has learned to look out for the Selfishly wicked, and is gradually getting wise to the selfish ly righteous. Nearly always these revolutionary changes are fathered by men catering to a class of citizenship as inimical to good government because of its nar row self-sufficiency, as is the so-called 'liberal' element with its undoubted viciousness. True liberty has as much to fear from the religious zealot as it has from the confessedly bad citizen. WARUM. Not Worth Much. "Is that dog of yours valuable?" "I guess not.
