Chief Executive Sits in Chair Which.
Roosevelt Used Many Per
sons Call on Nation's
Head
WASHINGTON, March 5 With
the tinsel and military pomp, the
cheers of the multitude, the stirring
music of bands and the heavy tread of
marching thousands, the fireworks
and the limeligiit only a pleasant
memory, Woodrow Wilson settled
down in the chair of Presidents as
quietly and with as little ceremony
as almost any man who ever crossed
the threshold to become its master.
His long day was crowded with in
cidents and tilled with the flavor of
power that is tlie President's. Almost
his' first act was to serve notice on
office seekers that they would not be
welcomed at the White House, unless
tney had been invited.
In spite of the report that Mr. Wil
son might be expected to change
many of the precedents that have
grown up about the presidency, he
bothered today with none of impor
tance except that which permitted
the office seeker to invade the White
House. He fitted' in easily with the
machinery of the executive offices,
did mostly what trained officials told
him he should do and took up the
routine of government with ease.
The statement of the President re
lating Lo tlie exclusion of office-seekers
was:
'The President regrets that he
deems it his duty to decline to see
applicants for office in person, except
when he himself invites the interview.
It is his purpose and desire to devote
his attention very earnestly and very
constantly to the business of the gov
ernment and the large questionsSbf
policy affecting the whole nation and
he knows from his experience as Gov
ernor of New Jersey where it felltp
him to make innumerable appoint
ments that the greater part of both
his time and of his energy will be
spent in personal interviews with can
didates unless he sets an invariable
rul3 in the matter, it is his inten
tion to deal with appointments
through the heads of several execu
tive departments."
For a few days at least President
Wilson will sit behind his big mahog
o;iy - desk in his private office in a
chair that was used by former Pres
ident Roosevelt. The chair Mr. Taft
occupied was shipped to New Haven
yesterday. Ue'ore he left the White
House, he ordered another for his
successor, exactly like the one he us
ed, but it had not arrive! today. The
Roosevelt chair is old and battered
but still good for service.
President Wilson's first visitors in
his office todav were some folk from
New Jersey. In five taxicabs about I
;:o of them descended on the execu
tive offices to witness the swearing
in of Joseph P. Tumulty as secretary
to the President. President Wilson
came into the room just as Secretary
Tumulty had taken the oath.
"You look just the same as Pres
ident as you did when you were Gov
ernor," remanded State Senator J.
Warren Davis, with whom Mr. Wil
son was intimately identified in ac
complishing corporation reforms in
New Jersey.
The President replied that he felt
just the same and that was feeling
fine. He shook hands with the party
and showed them nis own office, com
menting at once on the excellent light
ing. President Wilson had arisen early
today and breakfasted in the private
dining room of the W'hite House with
Mrs. Wilson and their daughters.
Shortly alter 9 o'clock he had left
the mansion and walked through the
passageway in the bright sunshine of
a spring day to his office to take up
the business of the nation.

WILSON'S RULING PUTS PATRON
AGE UP TO CHAMBERLAIN
AND LANE
BEST MEN ARE TO BE GIVEN PLACES
Suggestions Asked by Both Who Will
Confer Before Making Any
WASHINGTON, March 5 It will
be several days before Senators
Chamberlain and Lane attempt to
fill vacancies in any federal offices in
Oregon. Senator Lane said today he
had received upwards of 50 pounds of
applications for various offices, which
he has not yet had time to sort over
and investigate, and he wishes to go
through these papers before confer
ring with Senator Chamberlain.
Much the same situation exists in
Senator Chamberlain's office, for in
the rush attending the close of the
session he has not had time to con
sider questions of patronage. Both
Senators said today that they would
not be able for several days to get
together and confer on appointments,
but both asserted that no recommen
dations would be submitted to Pres
ident Wilson until they could confer.
Oregon Federal patronage, it is ex
plained, is to .be controlled by Sena
tors Chamberlain and Lane. Both Sen
ators expressed their willingness to
receive recommendations from Na
tional Committeeman King, the state
chairman and others, though they
reserve the right to accept or reject
such recommendations.
"We want the best men. available
'or each office,'' said Senator Lane,
and Senator Chamberlain nodded his
approval.
GARY'S SALARY I
INCREASED
The bill providing for the increase
of the salary of the superintendent
of county schools of Clackamas Coun
ty from $1,000 a year to $1,600, al
though vetoed by the Governor was
passed over the veto. This means
that T. J. Gary, present superinten
dent, will receive the increased sal
ary, which he deserves. A hard
fight was made against the bill, but
rriends of Mr. Gary proved to the
members of the Legislature that it
was just. It was shown that the
school supervisors in this county are
receiving $1,000 for ten months' work,
while the superintendent received the
same amcnt for 12 months' work.

FIRE COMPANIES HAVE
ELABORATE SPREAD
A large number of members of the
various companies of the Fire Depart
ment assembled in the city hall build
ing Wednesday night, being the guests
of Columbia Hook and Ladder Company,-
No. 1, the occasion being the
reception by these companies in their
remodeled and elegantly furnished
quarters. Joe Lynch, the efficient
chairman of the committee in charge
or tne remodeling and fitting up of
the premises, presided and in a well
timed speech extended a cordial wel
come to all and turned the quarters
over to the companies. He paid a
tribute to L. Adams for favors shown
the committee, which greatly assist
ed them in making a success of the
undertaking. He also spoke highly
of the generosity of the city council
in making an appropriation amply
sufficient to meet all the requirements
of the committee. His remarks were
well received and heartily applauded
as it is well known that when Lynch
starts to do anything it is going to be
done up-to-the-minute in every par:
ticular Rising votes of thanks were
tendered to L. Adams, the Mayor and
council, and chairman Lynch and also
to Messrs Wilkinson and Baxter, the
florists, for favors shown in floral
decorations for the occasion. That
Chairman Lynch worked with an un
tiring energy and indefatigeable zeal
to accomplish his mission was evi
dent by the appearance that greeted
those present. The floors of the par
lor and reception room are covered
with Brussels carpet of a rich crim
son shade, with portieres and window
curtains to match. Delicately tinted
green walls and light drab ceiling
Lnd border, separated from the wall
by a silvered mouldings, render a very
pleasing effect.
The tables and chairs are of mis

crimson carpet is enhanced by mosque

The Busch-Rotter Orchestra render
ed -elassic music, followed by songs
and speeches by hosts and guests.
Chief-elect M. H. Long being called
upon, responded with an able and well
appreciated address.
The reception room and - parlor
were elegantly decorated with calla
lillies and red and white chrysanthe

GARY MAKES IMPORTANT DECIS
ION IN HAVENS CASE AT
ESTACADA
BOH EYESIGHT IS ENDANGERED
Principal Insists Upon Study of Agri
culture and Parents Want Him
.. to Continue History
Course
T. J. Gary, superintendent of county
schools, has rendered a decision re
garding the course of study of High
school pupils which may be far-reaching.
In the controversy between B.
F. Ford, principal of the Estacada
High school, and Albert Havens; fath
er of Leo Havens, a pupil of the
school, Mr. Gary has decided that par
ents may elect to a certain extent
tae course of study of their children.
The boy's eyes have become weaicen
ed through overstudy, and his par
ents decided he should give up the
study of agriculture. Principal Ford
Suggested that he should give up the
study of ancient history. The prin
cipal contended that the study of agri
culture would not injure the boy's
eyes as much as thestudy of ancient
history. Superintendent Gary decid
ed that the parents of the boy had
a right to elect which subject he
should continue under the circum
stances. Superintendent Gary's opinion fol
lows: "Section 274, Page 105, Oregon
School Laws, reads as follows:
"The course of study for High
schools, in this state shall embrace a
period of four years. The course of
study for the two years of optional
work in all High schools shall be laid !
down by the County High School
Board in the county, or the district
school board, in case of district High
schools, after due consultation with j
the State Superintendent of Public In-1
struction ; provided, that in any High
school of this state it may be provid
ed by the directors thereof that "all
or. part of the two years optional
work.in the High school course shSll
be devoted to industrial training."
"The provision that all or part of
the optional work be devoted to indus
trial training makes such training
mandatory in effect whenever the
beard of directors makes the require
ment that it shall be a part of the re
quired course. Therefore, it is the
ruling of this office that the board of
directors of School District No. 108,
acted under authority of law in re
quiring Leo Havens to take the work
in agriculture in their High school,
but only in so far as it applies to his
credits and ultimate graduation.
"It is the ruling of this office that
the parent has the right to select the
studies that his child shall pursue in
the High school when said choice
does not directly conflict with the best
interests of the school. As it was not
shown that the dropping of agricul
ture by said Leo Havens would direct
ly injure the school, it is. therefore
the opinion of this office that his par
ents had a perfect right to demand
that he be pf-mitted to discontinue
the study of agriculture and that the
Board of Directors had no right to de
prive him of the privilege of contin
uing his- work in the other branches
of his course.
"The rulings of the court in various
states differ some what upon this
point, but the preponderance of opin
ion seems to be in favor of the par
ent's authority. In the absence of a
compulsory education law the parent
has a right to prevent his chill from
studying all the branches prescribed
by the course, therefore he would
have the right to prevent his studying
any one of them. The law gives the
board of directors the right to pre-,
scribe a course 'for the High school
consistent with the state course. The
work outlined in this course must be
done before the student could receive
a certificate of graduation. There
fore, if the board of directors makes
agriculture a requirement it is nec
essary for all students in the High
school course to earn credits in tais
subject before they can b3 permitted
to graduate."
