Well Represented at the
Convention.
MANY WITNESS DEPARTURE
Lave on Steamer Alliance for North
Bend to Attend Fanners' and
Shippers' ongres9 and
Farmers' Institute.
Delegates to the joint convention of the
Farmers' and Shipper' Congress and the
Coos County Farmers' Institute, which
w ill be held at North Bend, May 23 and 24.
departed for Coos Bay at 8 o'clock last
night, on the steamer Alliance. A large
crowd kw the party off at the dock at
the foot of Couch street when the Al
lionce steamed out into the river.
Besides the delegates from Portland, the
party consisted of representatives from
other Willamette Valley cities. Practical
ly every organisation of the Willamette
Valley Development League, under the
auspices of which the convention will be
conducted, was repreaenred. The delega
tion from the cities outside of Portland
was headed by E. Hofer, president of the
Willamette Valley Development Lague.
The Portland Delejratlon.
Portland sends a particularly represen
tative delegation to Coos Bay, but it Is
not as large as was at first expected.
Many other of the Portland business men
made arrangements to make tbu trip, and
were extremely anxious to attend the con
vention, but were unavoidably detained.
Since the San Francisco fire the Portland
jobbing houses have been swamped with
work, and had- It not been for this, the
delegation would have been a very large
one.
The convention at Coos Bay will be held
for the purpose of exploiting that section
of the slate, and in this the citizens of
North Bend. Marslifleld. Empire and the
other prosperous cities of that splendid
harhor will receive the hearty co-operation
of the Portland delegates. The Coos Bay
cities, which were actively represented at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, are
eagerly looking forward to the convention,
which. It is believed, will be of great bene
fit. Several hundred delegates In all will
attend the convention, and the citizens
if Coos Bay will see that they become In
timately acquainted with the wonderful
and varied resources of that part of Ore
gon. Extensive preparations for the enter
tainment of the visitors have been made.
All of the cities of Coob Bay have joined
hands and will work together to make
the convention a great success. The vis
itors will be taken on excursions, treated
to many different entertainments, and
everything possible will be done to make
them enjoy their stay.
The steamer Alliance, which departed
from Portland last night, will arrive at
North Bend early Tuesday morning. The
convention will be held Wednesday and
Thursday, and on Friday morning the Al
liance will leave North Bend for Portland.
The Portland Commercial Club will be
represented by President F. W. Iead
belter and the Hoard of Trade by T. E.
Armlstead. G. M. Brown was appointed
to represent the Board of Trade, but at
the last moment he found that he could
not possibly make the trip, and Mr. Ar
mlstead was appointed to go in his place.
They were also appointed by Mayor Iane
to represent officially the City of Port
land. Personnel of the Party.
The other Portlandera who left on the
Alliance last night for Coos Bay were:
H. U Pittock. C. M. Hyskell, J. B. Da
vis. U. F. Bverson. K. Eyssell, J. A. Mc
Kinnon, Mrs. Q. M. Brown. H. W. Evans,
W. G. MaeRae. George M. Cornwall, W.
1.. Ireland. Arthur P. Tifft, Jefferson
Myers and Frank C. Baker.
The Willamette Valley delegation is

Willamette Valley Development League,
and Is composed of C. F. Lansing, E. S.
f allender, F. W. Spencer. F. N. Derby.
Jj. K. Tage. J. U Btockton. Max Hofer,

Krinarks on a Recent Decision In the
t'ntied States Supreme Court,
TORTUAND. May 20. tTr th FMltor.) I
otserv in a rcnt 1au of The Orironian an
article dated from Whlnrton, D. C, under
the head, "Cannot 1 Hear Petty Oases: Su

Xrewer, of the Supreme Court of the JTnlted

who was convicted In the Vnlted States Court
for the, District of Nebraska for the crime of
Introducing liquor Into the "Winnebago In

sentenoed to Imprisonment for 60 daya and a
fine of $100.
This, to my mind, is a 'moat marvelous des
ecration of the Inalienable -rights of any Indi

the protection and him privilege of uch, under
the Constitution of the Vnlted States as made,
adopted and sometimes respected by the judici

common people.
It appear that the tendency of persons who
occupy by favoritism, politics or otherwise,
positions upon the bench of the various Fed
eral and State Courts, to follow the opinion
of others) whom they have succeeded, Irre
spective of the motive which have led their
predecessors to form a Judgment and write
a rerboee opinion of their own feeling in any
particular case which may by chance be as
e'.rned to them to think over and render Judg
ment In. Precedents and the opinion of sev
eral men. who have been elevated to Judicial
position by appointment through political fa
voritism or election, has led to a deification of
the judiciary, a higher, better, puree, and
more Intelligent than the rvst of mankind,
without cause, excuse or apology.
If the opinion a reported In The Oregonian
cbtains. It opens a breach tn the constitutional
wall the sole protection of the common peo
ple which. If followed a a precedent, will
widen, and in time afford a reason for greater
oppression, and ultimately lead to anarchy,
civil war or absolute oppression of the Indi

their future as dark as the present Russian

HOT LUNCHEON
FOR TEACHERS
Plan of Director Flejschner
Meets With Favor on
All Sides.
WOULD IMPROVE SERVICE
Establishment of Rooms in Schools
' With Facilities for Preparing
Food Would Cost but
Little to the City.
It seems to be the consensus of opinion
in educational circles that teachers can
give belter service to the pupils and to
the board by-having the advantage of a
hot luncheon at the noon hour than Is
possible by the present cold luncheon re
gime. The suggestion of a lunchroom
In the different public schools of the city.
furnished with tables, chairs, cupboards
and gas stoves. Is hailed .with delight by
the large number of teachers employed
In Portland, especially In the outlying
districts, where it is quite Impossible to
buy a hot luncheon even after walking a
long distance for It. In these suburban
schools, principals and teachers are com
pelled to carry their luncheons, and at
noontime they have only the schoolroom
In which . they have been working all
morning td spend the hour or half hour
allotted for luncheon and in which to eat
it.
Applies to Many Schools.
Not only does the condition apply to
suburban schools, for it is learned
through conversation with the principals
and teachers of the schools situated in
the most thickly populated districts of the
city that, with few exceptions, the teach
ers eat cold luncheons In the building, as
they live too far away to have time to
eat luncheon at home after walking the
distance. The Shattuck and Ladd schools
are exceptions, especially the former.
where two-thirds of those employed as
teachers live within walking distance of
the school and enjoy a hot meal at noon.
Principal Draper, of this school, takes a
car down-town, and by riding both ways
has time to get a hasty luncheon In a
restaurant, but this is both expensive and
productive of .bad results from a health
standpoint, and he and his teachers ex
press themselves as heartily In favor of
the srrall conveniences which would en
able those remaining In the building to
prepare something hot at jioon.
"A cup of hot tea or chocolate, a bowl
of hot soup or a boiled egg would mean
more to us than outsiders can possibly
Imagine," said one enthusiastic teacher
'School teaching at Its best Is a vocation
that Is very trying on the nerves, and it
cannot be disputed that a hot meal goes
far toward resting and rejuvenating one
who, Is fatigued, and prepares that one
for further services In a way that cold
food cannot do."
The Highland School has taken the sit
uation in hand, and the teachers are ar
ranging to have a gas stove put In a
small room, which Is at their disposal for
luncheon purposes. The Installment of
such conveniences by the. School Board
would be very welcome to them, how
ever, as they would be glad to have a
place to keep the dishes they bring and
comfortable chairs and a table on which
to serve their luncheons.
Favors Luncheon-Room.
Principal J. H. Stanley, of the High
land School expresses himself as much
impressed by the lunchroom idea, stat
ing that it la an excellent one, and that
the teachers would not only feel better
after a hot noon meal, but would doubt
less be able to give better results in their
sfternoon work. "Only four out of 22
teachers are able to go home to luncheon
here." said Mr. Stanley, "and I believe
that if we had comfortable facilities for
getting something hot here in the building
all of them would remain.
At the Clinton Kelly School not a sin
gle teacher is enabled to go home at
noon, the whole force being compelled to
eat the cold food which has -been packed
since breakfast time. A programme like
this Is rather tiresome when It Is followed
out regularly every school day in the
week, and there are many complaints of
Indigestion as a consequence of . eating
cold food of the kind that is convenient
to carry.
Would Be of Benefit.
Principal Morgan says It is the unani
mous opinion of his corps of teachers that
appliances for preparing a hot luncheon
would be of more benefit to them than
any measure which could be provided,
and that they would be very appreciative
of the convenience of a lunchroom. There
are 13 teachers In this school.
"I wish we could have hot luncheons."
said Principal E. J. Hadley, of the Holla
day School, "but It is difficult to get them
out here unless one resides within walk
ing distance. Out of 18 teachers, only
seven go home, the other 11 eating here
in the building. We make the best of
It. of course, and use a small vacant
room In which to eat, but If it were
fitted -up with the conveniences suggested
I think It would be a fine thing for the
teachers, for they could then have some
thing hot every day and be more com
fortable at this recreation hour. They
would feel more like working, too."
At Brooklyn School ten teachers eat
cold luncheons while two live In the
neighborhood and are able to go home at
noon. Miss Dimlck, the principal, ex
presses herself most emphatically In fa
vor of the establishment of lUncheon
rooms. not only to make the teachers
comfortable and preserve their health, but
from a business standpoint. "I think I.
N. Flelschner, the member of the board
who has suggested this measure, should
receive the praise and commendation of
not only every teacher In town, but of all
who send children to school. It stands to
reason that better results can be gotten
by taking good care of teachers than oth
erwise, and the matter should be viewed
from a business as well as a humani
tarian standpoint. A hot dish at noon
would go far toward resting overwrought
nerves and tired . muscles, and the Indi
vidual teacher would be in much better
condition to take up the afternoon work
than she is after eating a few soggy
sandwiches and drinking cold water."
Would Be Ideal Feature.
All of the teachers of the Thompson
School have to' eat cold luncheons, the
principal, O. E. Jamison, being the only
one living near enough to go home. "I
have had to make It a point to live near
my school," said Mr. Jamison, "for I
cannot eat cold luncheons and give good
service. Indigestion Invariably results
from It. and my daughter, who attends
the High School, is troubled with it from
eating- cold noon meals. I think the
luncheon-room would be an Ideal feature
for schools, for It would add to the health
and comfort of the teachers and keep
them from getting nervous. My teachers
are always diligent and work hard, but a
hot meal might be productive to them of
better results than the cold one. and I am
sure they would all appreciate It, as I
would."
Principal Downs, of the Williama-Ave-
nua School, was another who spoks of
the stomach disorders arising from the
constant eating of cold luncheons, mak
ing his statements from experience. All
of his teachers favor the luncheon-room
proposition, and he feels that such a room
would serve other purposes as well, there
now being no place to take either a pupil
or a teacher In case of sudden illness. In
this school live go home atnoon, 11 bring
cold luncheons and one goes without
luncheon rather than eat it cold.
All Support Plan.
At the Couch, the Atkinson and the
High Schools, all situated In the heart of
the city, the majority' of the teachers eat
cold luncheons. Couch has 20 teachers,
and of these 7 go home to luncheon, these
living near the building. All favor the
luncheon-room, however, considering a
retiring place in which to eat and have
something warm would be a welcome In
novation. At this school a vendor brings
hot soup in at noon and sells to the
teachers, but the only place they have
to eat It is at their desks where they
teach all day. Principal Burnham thinks
the establishment of a luncheon-room
would be productive of good results. Prin
cipal Kiggins. of the Atkinson, is also
much in favor of such an institution, as
he considers cold luncheons bad for any
one. Only three of the teachers in this
school go home at noon. Professor T. T.
Davis, of the High School. Is also a warm
advocate of the luncheon-room proposi
tion, feeling that the quiet and rest ob
tained In a private room, at noon, as well
as the advantages of hot meals, would be
of greatest benefit' to the teachers. In
this school some of the force go out to
hot luncheons and some have things
brought in to them from near-by deli
catessens, but, as In other cases, there
Is only the schoolroom in which to eat it,1
and a room which has been occupied by
60 or 70 pupils all morning Is not the most
pleasant place in the world in which to
eat a meal.
Would Cost but Little.
The proposed establishment of luncheon
rooms for teachers In the public schools
of Portland was proposed to the board
by I. N. Flelschner, but was not acted
upon. The delay was caused by those
members who hesitated to expend any of
the school money on improvements of this
character, and who wanted exact esti
mates as to the cost of such proposed
additions. The cost will be very small,
for in nearly all of the schools there la
some small apartment which can toe util
ized, or the end of a hall which can be
partitioned oft for the purpose, and the
equipment would be very light. Tables
and chairs would, of course, be necessary,
and a small cupboard In which to keep
the food brought In the morning and the
few dishes which each teacher would pro
vide herself with would be all that is nec
essary, aside from the installation of a
small gas stove. In suburban districts,
where there is not gas in the building, a
small fuel stove could be utilized.
Would Improve the Work.
The Improved service which would re
sult from this provision for the teachers
would soon pay for the expenditure, ac
cording to the opinion of those who have
studied the matter, and it seems more
than probable that another school year
will see every schoolhouse In Portland
provided with a small lunchroom for the
teachers. Mr. Flelschner, of ; course, is
strongly in favor of It, and Mr. Beach is
also of the opinion that It would be a
good measure. If not too expensive. Mrs.
Sitton is another warm advocate of the
measure, and Superintendent Frank Rlg
ler thinks It would result in a great
amount of good and Improvement.
"The cost would be small," said Mr.
Flelschner, "and the results would be
beneficial to the teachers and to the serv
ice. In my visits to the schools I find the
teachers sitting In the schoolroom eating
cold luncheons at their desks, and I have
been Impressed with the fact that rest and
a hot meal at the noon hour would be
something that would not only . benefit
them, but the pupils and the service at
large."
SANITARY .CONDITION GOOD
Portsmouth and University Park
Found In Excellent Shape.
PORTLAND, May 20. (To th Editor.)
Inasmuch aa there have bean many reports
published relative to diphtheria, and the sani
tary conditions In University Parle and Ports
mouth, and since some of theaa reports have
given wrong: impressions concerning- th sani
tary conditions as actually existing- tn this
section of tna City of Portland, we. ths com
mittee appointed by th University Park Board
of Trade, respectfully submit the following
report:
Dr. "Wheeler. City Physician, and his dep
uty have within th last two week lnesected
220 homes. In most of these they report the
sanitary conditions good. Where open clos
ets reach down into the coarse sand and
gravel they state that no unsanitary condi
tion can exist. AH the cesspools, many of
which were found, extend below th surface
of the sand in gravel, making them entirely
sanitary. In all cases where they found un
sanitary conditions existing from any cause
they gave definite instructions to the owners
mm to how to remedy them; also giving these
owners a specified time to make the necessary
improvements. Compared with other suburbs
of the city. Dr. Wheeler reports this one as
good as others In many respects, and 'as to
natural drainage, better, owing to the strata
of sand and gravel lying only a few feet be
low th surface of the around.
Further, the members of your committee
have personally visited a large majority of
the homes of University Park and Portsmouth
and we find that with few exceptions tne
premises are clean and free from rubbish.
and challenge any one from other suburbs of
the city to show any cleanlier conditions or
better general appearances. -Both the surface
drain and th underground drainage are
excellent.
By unanimous vote of the members present
at the meeting when your committee was ap
pointed to make this report, the efforts of th
City Health Officers In improving th sani
tary conditions of this section, together with
th efforts put forth for general improvement
by the Initiative One Hundred were heartily
indorsed. (Signed.) DR. OSCAR DE VAUU

REPUBLICANS ARE
SURE OF SUCCESS
Democratic Blunders and Har
mony Among Factions
Assure It
WITHYCOMBE IS STRONG
Instead of Being Disrupted Party Is
United and Everyone Is
Working for the Entire
Party Ticket.
That the election of Dr. James Wlthy-
combe as Governor Is now practically
certain Is the opinion expressed by Re
publicans who have been over the state
and carefully sounded public sentiment.
Soon after the primaries there were
manf who were In doubt. They felt some
concern as to the attitude of defeated as
pirants and their friends. There was a
fear that the members of the party would
not get together in support of the ticket,
but that the direct primary law would
prove a means of disrupting the party.
This fear has now vanished, until in al
most every county past differences have
been laid aside, the defeated aspirants
have cheerfully volunteered their assist
ance to the victors, and there Is good
feeling among party workers generally.
While this situation Is encouraging to the
Republicans, . it Is disheartening to the
Democrats, who are lust beginning to
realize that they are engaged in an al
most hopeless contest.
Hoped for Party Discord.
In the beginning of the campaign, the
Democrats counted largely upon Repub
lican discord to bring them votes, but the
Democrats themselves have forced the
Republicans' into line. Instead of making
a fight for one office, as they did four
years ago. they have tried to get every
thing In sight, and thus attempted to
make this a Democratic state. They have
deprived their own campaign of that non
partisan complexion they wish 'to give it.
for when the Republicans see the Demo
cratic leaders trying to put Democrats in
all the offices, they realize that the talk
of non-partisanship is merely a blind.
Then, again, whenever the Chamberlain
managers try to persuade Republicans to
vote for Col. R. A. Miller for Attorney-
General, they make Crawf ord s friends
out in Southern Oregon sore. When they
ask Republican support for I'. Scott Tay
lor for State Printer, they Incur the dis
pleasure of the friends of W. S. Dunl
way. And so It Is up and down the line.
In trying to defeat so many good Repub
licans, they have forced the Republicans
to come together and stand unitedly for
tha ticket.
Make Unwarranted Attack.
Then, too, the unkind and unwarranted
attacks the Democratic campaign man
agers have made upon the Republican
candidate for Governor have made him
many friends, not only among Republic-
ana, but among Democrats as well. Two
prominent Democrats, P. H. D'Arcy, of
Salem, and Napoleon Davis, of Greaham,
have publicly denounced the methods pur
sued, and it is evident that hundreds of
Democrats who are not so outspoken In
their views entertain the same feelings.
Where one man will come out and openly
censure his party's managers, there are
hundreds who will quietly wait until elec
tion day and then record his protest at
the ballot box. The Democratic leaders
realize the strength of the tide of opinion
that is setting against them, but are un
able to stop It. for one grave blunder fol
lows another In such rapid succession that
they are kept continually explaining.
Republicans Get Together.
At the same time that the Republicans
are getting together, the Democrats are
showing signs of disunion. Many promi
nent Democrats who were shouting for
Chamberlain four years ago, and who
made large contributions to the campaign
fund, are attracting attention by their si
lence now. On the other hand. Repub
licans who were fighting the ticket open
ly four years ago are shouting for it
now, and there Is not anywhere In the
state an open opposition among Repub
licans. These changed conditions foretell
the result.
Those who examined the election figures
of four years ago. as published In yester
day's Oregonian, can see where the Re
publicans will make enormous gains
which Chamberlain cannot possibly coun
terbalance. Four years ago Marion Coun
ty; where most of the disappointed Geer
people lived, gave Chamberlain over 300
plurality. This year there Is the utmost
harmony in Marion, and It Is generally
said that Marlon will give Wlthycombe
about 1000 plurality.
All Differences Buried.
Marion is a farming county, and Wlthy
combe Is popular among that class. Four
years ago Benton County, where Withy
combe resides, gave Furnish 48 plurality.
This year It will give Wlthycombe 600 to
70ft. In Umatilla, which was the hotbed
of dissension four years ago. Chamberlain
received a plurality of 266. The' leaders
are working together in perfect harmony
this year, and Wlthycombe is good for a
margin of 600. Union County. Instead of
giving Chamberlain 700, as it did four
years ago, Is lined up for tne ticket, and
will give the Republican nominee a lead
of about 500. These are heavy counties.
and show the trend of sentiment among
Republicans. This is a get-together"
year and Republicans are burying or
have burled past differences, ana win
meet on common ground In support of a
ticket nominated In. the direct primaries.

Mr. Stevens denied that thl waa true,'

T TICKET
TODAY IS liAST OPPORTUNITY
TO FILE PETITION'S.
Only Four Independent Candidates
in Field and Xo Indications
That Others Will File.
As County Clerk Fields construes the
law. this 1a the last day upon which In
dependent candidates for county office
may file petitions for nomination. So far
as can be learned at this time, there will
be no Independent ticket filed, and no In
dependent candidates other than those
who have already filed. The only Inde
pendents now in the race for county of
fices are J. E. Simmons, for Sheriff; W. H.
Patterson, for Constable on the West
Side, and E. E. Parker and C. H. Brown,
for Constable on the East Side.
Attorney-General Crawford and Secre
tary of State Dunbar held that May 19
was the last day for filing independent
nominations for county offices, and that
has been generally considered the last
day. County Clerk Fields seems to have
followed a different plan In computing
the time, and .made the 30th the last day.
But as the 20th fell on Sunday, he held
that an Intending candidate may file at
any time on the Monday following. In
this Interpretation of the law, Mr. Fields
Is supported by the opinion of Judge
Sears, who advised him unofficially. Prob
ably no complications will arise from the
different interpretations of the law, yet
litigation might arise if some- person of
fered a petition for filing, and It should
be accepted or Tefused contrary to the
opinion and interests of candidates.
In most counties of the state, a petition
offered for filing today would be refused.
The statute saya that a nomination by
Individual electors must be filed not less
than 15 days before the day fixed by law
for the election. The election will be
held June 4, and. counting back, it is

found that May 20 is the 15th day, but,
since the law says not less than 15 days.
It waa believed that 15 full days must
elapse between the time of filing and the
day of election, and, therefore, that the
19t'h Is the last day for filing. County
Clerk Fields held that a man Is entitled
to file his nominating petition at any time
on the 15th day prior to the day of the '
election, and that, since the 15th day
falls on Sunday, he may file on the next
day. There is. in effect, a difference of
two daya In the methods of construing
the time.
