BOOKS TOO COSTLY
Oregon Pays More Than Any
State, Says Senator Miller.
FIGURES GIVEN IN PROOF
Careful Investigation Should Be
Made. Before the People Vote
o Supply Schools With
Free Text-Books.
ALBANT. Or. Oct. i-i (SpeciaLV
State Senator II. A. Miller, of Lirrn Coun
ty, today discussed at some length the
proposed legislation on the lines of the
educational system of the state, and
particularly on the eubject of free text
books, a bill for which has been proposed
for the coming session of the Legislature.
"I believe we have in this country the
greatest educational system in the.
world." said Senator Miller. "Our sys
tem ol public schools, ottering a good ed
ucation to all free, and requiring all of
al advantages offered, is unsurpassed,
al advantakes offered, is unsurpassed.
Any proposed change in the system is a
question of great importance, and should
ha handled only after careful investiga
tion. It is a fact that 96 per cent of the
people in the United States secure all the
education they ever get. or rather all the
schooling, in the public schools. That
percentage of the population do not at
tend the higher institutions of learning.
In view of these figures, any proposed
change causes people to think and inves
tigate, and action should be taken-only
after a careful study of the question.
"The proposed change, that of furnish
ing text-books in the public schools of
Oregon at the expense of the taxpayers,
has received considerable attention, and
there is touch to be said for and against
the question. It might result in a saving
in the total amount of money spent for
school books in the state, and distribute
the expense among the people who foot
the bills of the state government. In this
connection, I want to say that the people
of Oregon are paying more for their
school books than the people of any other
state in the Union. I have investigated
this subject, and have figures to support
my statements. For years I have de
voted considerable time to the educational
question in Oregon, and have been an ad
vocate of using the pruning-knife on the
schedule of studies in the public schools.
There are too many students taught, and
too little attention given to each branch
of work. The books cost too much, and
because of the great number of branches
taught, often become a burdensome ex
pense. As a result of my investigation I
have the cost of books in a number of
states, and a comparison of the expense
there with the prices charged in Oregon
is interesting. In Texas a First Reader
costs IS cents, in Oregon. 25 cents, an in
crease of 40 per o:nt; Second Reader, 24
cents; in Oregon. 30 cents, an increase of
25 per cent; Third Reader. 20 cents; in
Oregon, 40 cents, an increase of S3 1-3 per
cent; Speller, 15 cents; in Oregon, 22
cents, an increase of 47 per cent; First
Geography, 42 cents; in Oregon 60 cents,
an increase of 43 per cent.
"North Carolina offers even a more
glaring example. There the First Reader
costs 13 cents; in Oregon 25 cents ,an in
crease of 92'i per cent; Second Reader, IS
cents: in Oregon. 30 cents, an increase' of
2-3 per cent; Geography, 40 cents; in
egon 60 cents, an increase of 50 per
'nt; First History, 40 cents; in Oregon
60 cents, an increase of 50 per cent.
"In Missouri the First Reader and Prim
er combined sells for 12 cents; in Oregon
the First Reader sells for 25 cents, an in
crease of ICS per cent; Second reader. 17
cents; in Oregon 30 cents, an increase of
77 per cent; Geography, 42 cents, in Ore
gon 60 cents, an increase of 43 per cent;
History. 51 cents: in Oregon 60 cents, an
increase of 17Vi per cent.
, "The comparison with Indiana is strik-
There the First Reader costs 10
ts; in Oregon 25 cents, an increase of
per cent; Second Reader, 15 cents; in
egon 30 cents, an increase of 100 per
t; Spelled, 10 cents, in Oregon 22 cents,
increase of 120 per cent; First Geo-
iphy, 30 cents; in Oregon 60 cents, an
irease of 100 per cent.
."In North Dakota First Readers cost 16
nt6: in Oregon 25 cents, an increase of
.ifi per cent;' Second Readers, 28 cents; in
Oregon 30 cents, an increase of 7 per cent;
Histories. SO cents; in Oregon $1. an in
crease of 25 per cent: Mental Arithmetic
24 cents; in Oregon 30 cents, an increase
of 25 per cent.
"Kansas is another good illustration of
ie excessive charges for text-books in
regon. There the Fourth Reader costs
cents; in Oregon 40 cents, an increase
.f 33 1-3 per cent: Speller. 10 cents; in
'regon 22 cents, an increase of 120 per
ent; Geography. 30 cents; in Oregon 60
ents. an increase of 100 perscent
"All of these comparisons go to show
at some steps should be taken to re-
ce the cost of text-books in Oregon
at people of other states are treated
oetter by the book companies than are
the people of Oregon. Just what meas
ures should be taken is a serious ques
tion. In 1S93 I introduced in the Oregon
Legislature a. bill providing for the 9tate
to publish its own text-books for use in
the public schools and sell them to the
people for cost. This bill was defeated.
I believe that would have, in a large
measure, solved the problem of excessive
harges for text-books for our public
chool children."
Senator Miller's advocacy of fewer stud
s in our public schools was demon
strated in 1903. when he was a member
of the State Senate. At that session he
introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution
No. 24. which read as follows:
"Whereas. The public school Is the only
Institution actually employed in the edu
cation of the masses, and
"Whereas. A very large per cent of the
-Jiildren receive all the education they
-ver acquire In said public schools, and
"Whereas. The course of study now em
ployed in the public schools of this state
requires so much work on the part of the
hlld. that the essential branches are not
"Od cannot be well learned, and
Whereas, The number of books now in
ut in said course of instruction in said
nubile schools is excessive and a financial
.urden upon the people of the state-
"Therefore, be it resolved by the Sen
ste. the House concurring, that the State
Board of Education be, and is hereby
earnestly requested to so revise the
course of instruction now in use In the
public schools of this state, as to reduce
the amount of work and give special at
tention to the branches that will be of
noet value to the children in pursuing
he different vocations of life.
'And that It the sense of the Legisla
te that the public schools of the state
.iJuld be encouraged and fostered by
very means in our power."

heavy rainfall last night paves the way
for Fall work on the farms. For a
couple of weeks the ground has been
too dry for Fall plowing and seeding,

STRANGER BADLY BEATEN
Jack Sibo Evidently Mistaken lor a
Strikebreaker.
Evidently mistaking- Jack Sibo for a
strike-breaker, about 20 strikers brut
ally attacked him at First and Burn
side streets early last night, injuring
him severely around the head and face,
and leaving him unconscious in the
street wiiere he lay nearly half an h-mr
before regaining consciousness. When
he came to he went to the Police Sta
tion and related his experience. ....
Sebo just arrived from Minneapolis
Saturday night and had no lii -jnn a
of joining the ranks of strike-breakers.
He was walking along Burnside
street early last night when he saw
a large group of men coming toward
him. One of them, who seemed to be
the spokesman, grabbed Sibo and told
him to accompany him. The; crowd
followed. Sibo went along, saying he
did not know why anyone would want
to attack him, as he had just arrive J
from another city and did no one any
harm. At this the man who held Sibo
struck him a terrific blow over the eye
causing a deep gash. At this the crowd
pounced upon him and began to beat
and kick him. After that Sibo does
not ramember anything. He says he
awoke in the street, lying in a pool
of blood, and made his way to the Po
lice Station. He could not positively
state whether the crowd which attacked
him were strikers or not, but he
thought they must have been, as they
spoke about "scabs."
City Physician Spencer was called to
the station and dressed his Injuries.
Sibo went home and was told by Cap
tain Bruin to appear in Court today
and swear out warrants for the arrest
of his assailants. The police officers
declare their intention to hunt down
the men who assaulted Sibo and prose
cute them to the full extent of the
law. Sibo thinks he can identify the
men.

having been sent out on another case.
Officers scoured the neighborhood for
a trace of the highwayman, but were
unable to find the bandit.
Howes, who lives at 408 College
street, was on his way home when he
was confronted by a man with a white
handkerchief over his face, and having
a blue-barreled gun, who ordered hTm
to throw up his hands. The place is
dark and as no one was in sight, Howes
obeyed, and the holdup man went
through his pockets, relieving him of
$35.

HEADLINES DECEIVE
Continued From Page l-
its goods, wares and merchandise in the
State of New York is returned at "noth
ing"; value of machinery and plant,
"nothing"; cash on hand in bank, "noth
ing"; amount invested in business in the
State of New York, ."nothing." and so
on, and now the company is not as
sessed. Fine Plant Worth Nothing.
Yet Hearst, the advocate of pure gov
ernment and the owner of one of the
most elaborate newspaper plants in the
world, makes return, through his cor
poration attorney, to the effect that his
plant is worth "nothing" and the friend
ly Assessor cancels the assessment. This
exposure was a star play for Hughes:
it was on a par with his work against
the insurance companies.
There was another exposure of Hearst
that interested the Intelligent public.
Ever since President Roosevelt decideH
to permit Chinese laborers to aid in con
structing the Panama Canal the Hearst
papers have severely condemned the Na
tional Administration and have printed
editorial after editorial to the effect that
if white men are good enough to fight
in the tropics they are good enough to
work there.
Hearst in the campaign has gone fur
ther and charged Candidate Hughes with
the advocacy of the admission of Chinese
laborers to the United States in com
petition with higher priced American
labor. This charge is absolutely without
foundation, but that makes no difference
to Hearst. He must make some sort of
attack on his opponent.
Chinese on Hearst Estate.
In fact of this attitude of the Hearst
papers and the attitude assumed by
Hearst on-'the stump, it is extremely in
teresting to learn that Chinese labor" is
almost exclusively employed on. the big
Hearst estate in California, and that
white men, women and children are de
nied employment because Hearst finds
he can get Chinese laborers to pick and
pack his fruit at a much lower wage.
Hearst, who denounces President Roose
velt for permitting Chinese to work on
the canal when American labor has re
fused to go there, is himself the largest
employer of Chinese labor in California,
and it has been demonstrated that there
is an abundance of white labor willing
and ready to do this same work at the
minimum wage on which white people
can live.
It would be an endless task to enume
rate all the inconsistencies of William rt.
Hearst. And yet in spite of the exposures
that are made, he totally ignores the
charges; enters no denial, but follows
each charge with a counter attack which
he knows is absolutely false. Hearst
carries on this sort of campaign, know
ing that the lower type of people will
stand by him no matter what his enemies
may prove against him.
If he denounces their exposures as
false, his readers believe him; if he
makes an assault upon boss rule, his
brainless followers believe that he is the
-only free-handed politician in New York
State; if he promises reform which has
already been brought about by Hughes,
his ignorant supporters forget what has
been done, and take up the cry for
Hearst.
Deceived by Flaming Headlines.
This condition of affairs is largely the
result of a campaign that Hearst has
been waging for a year or more through
the medium of his three papers. He has
preached reform and practiced corruption;
he has advocated independence and him
self wears the shackles; he has advocated
good government, and is himself a law
breaker and a tax-dodger. His teachings
and his practices have been . two very
different things.
But the people who read the Hearst pa
pers believe what they see in the flaring
headlines and the inflammatory editorials
and cartoons; they regard Hearst as the
only true friend of the "common people,"
and. having become thoroughly imbued
with Hearst's published ideas, they are
unwilling to believe that their idol is any
thing but what he represents himself
to be.
The vast reach of the Hearst newspa
pers is something amazing. In New York
recently your correspondent .noted the
prevalence of Hearst papers on the street
cars and at the news-stands. It is a
safe statement that five out of every six
papers read on the cars of New York
City are Hearst papers; it matters not
whether you count in the morning, at
midday or at night. The average is al
ways the same.
Likewise, it is true of the street news
stands. The pile of Hearst paper.s will
be high; frequently it is impossible to
buy a Sun, a Tribune, a Herald or a
Times. The dealers do not handle them;
they teh you there is no demand.
AVorkers Do Xot Read Exposures.
Having such a hold on the working
population of New York City, it is no
wonder that Hearst is strong with the
people who do not or cannot think for
themselves. They get their daily news
from Hearst papers; they read only of
what Hearst is doing or what he is say
ing. They know little or nothing of what
Hughes is saying; they know nothing of
the exposures of Hearst and his methods.
If Mayor McClellan deserts Hearst they
read .Hearst's explanation and denuncia
tion, and they believe McClellan has gone
wrong, though they may have voted for
him only a year ago. Likewise they read
that Hughes is a "corporation attorney."
and they believe that he is a politician as
bad as Odell or Piatt. They read that
Hearst will abolish corporations, and they
believe that their ills will be cured if
their idol is elected. And so on through
every phase of the campaign.
Those that can read absorb Hearst's
empty words and applaud. Those that
cannot read are impressed by his mis
leading cartoons, or else they buy the
Hearst paper and get some one to read it
to them. It is a wonderful hold that
Hearst has on the ignorant and the feeble-minded;
a hold that cannot be shaken,
and the result of the campaign depends
almost entirely upon the ratio of the un
educated and the unthinking to the intel
ligent. Like Patent Medicine Fakir.
Hearst has all the attributes and quali
fications of a succesful patent medicine
fakir, and e is carrying on his campaign
in just this style. He stops at nothing;
he indulges in the most radical misrepre
sentation; the truth he has thrown to the
winds, and by this method he has fooled
a mighty portion of the votefs of New
York State into believing that he is their
friend.
To every intelligent man it is perfectly
apparent that Hearst is imposing upon
and working the ignorant voters, because
he knows that is the only source from
which he can get votes. And he thinks
that by carrying the election in New York
this year he can make it appear that he
is the advocate of those Teforms for
which the people are or have been clam
oring. Cares Xot for ''Common People."
William R. Hearst cares nothing for the
"common people" except to get their
votes. i!s associates are not among that
class; he himself' is a millionaire; ,he
travels in private cars and on his own
yacht He would like" to associate with
the plutocrats, and it is not his own
fault that he does not.
Hearst doesn't mingle with the throng
except during the campaign. He - has
nothing In common with them, and with
those whom he employs he is distant, at
times oppressive. But he knows where
he must look for votes; he knows the in
telligent people are not with him, so he
preys upon uie weak-minded and the un
educated: he toadies to their whims; he
holds out to them alluring promises, and
literally leads them by a string.
His only hope of success is in corraling
a sufficient number of voters of this class,
and if he fails in this he is gone. Like
wise, if he falls of election in New York,
his chance of nomination at the next
Democratic National Convention is ma
terially reduced, unless, by playing the
martyr act, he can make still further cap
ital among the ignorant classes.
The New York contest Is a. contest be
tween classes. Not the rich against the
poor; but the thoughtful against the feeble-minded;
the intelligent against the
Illiterate; the thinker against the num
skull. And the sole issue is "decent? gov
ernment." DEFENDS CASH WITH LIFE

OAKLAND, Oct. 14. Two men were

J. M. Tenny were sitting inside their car,
a Sixteenth-street car. Samuels had his
night's receipts spread out before him,
counting them. Another car stood 100
feet' away, and on the corner there were
eight men eating in a restaurant.
A medium-sized man with a handker
chief tied over the lower part of his face
entered Samuels' and Tenny's car. carry
ing a revolver. Motorman Tenny rushed
for the bandit and struck him over the
head with his controller. The robber fired,
the shot taking effect in Tenny's breast.
Continuing to discharge his revolver, the
robber retreated through the door and es
caped in the darkness. ,
Tenny was brought into town and the
police were notified. Two hours later
Tenny died from his wounds.
About 3 o'clock, while searching for the
robber, the dead body of William P. Tru
body, nightwatchman for Holbrook, Mer
rill & Stetson, corner Wood and Sixteenth
streets, was found outside the warehouse
by the police with a bullet hole over the
heart. Trubody was found with his pistol
by his side, a block from where the rob
ber boarded the street-car. He had evi
dently been attracted by the shooting that
killed Motorman Tenny and was killed
when he tried to stop the fleeing high
wayman. FOOTPADS ARE HARD AT WORK.
Police Round X7p All the Suspicious
Characters They See.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14 Despite the
energetic measures taken by the police in
rounding up all ex-convicts and suspicious
characters yesterday and today, the ac
tivity of footpads and highwaymen con
tinued. Several reports of robberies and
attempted hold-ups were made to the po
lice. Carl Wilson, a laborer, was held up and
robbed of $6 by two men. while walking
on Rush street, near Kearney, about 10
o'clock tonight. As the footpads stopped
him Wilson fired a shot at them in the
darkness. In their haste In searching
Wilson, the robbers overlooked the pistol
which he had. Attracted by the ''shot, a
nightwatchman came running up and also
began shooting at the fleeing men.
Edward Lang, a street-car conductor,
reported to the police today that he was
held up by two men at the north end of
the Ferry building shortly before 12
o'clock last night. While one of them
held a pistol against Lang's head the oth
er footpad went through his pockets, and,
according to Lang, robbed him of $50.
An attempted hold-up was reported
from Golden Gate Park. The approach
of some pedestrians frightened the high
waymen away.

DISEASES
There are some diseases that are impossible to cure and we deter

ble to cura you we will not charge you one cent for the examination.
We follow one rule: "Honesty is the best policy."

f treatment as to merit and superiority. Talk with the physicians of
this institution and you will find them cultured, scientific gentlemen
of great learning and experience, and a few moments' conversation will
convince you that we thoroughly understand our business.
Weakness of the System It Is caused by strains, over-indulgence,
over-work, inheritance to a certain degree, follies practiced in your
vounger days, giving your present condition one of a most forlorn, de
pressing aspect, causing sleepless nights. Irritable temperaraent, etc.
If this is let continue in its own course without attempt tfj stop it,
the course terminates in a complete mental derangement. We cure
such maladies, giving you a permanent cure without any detention from
business. ,
Varicocele Is a diseased conlitlon of the scrotal veins.' It may be
caused by blows, kicks, falls, heavy lifting, mumps, early Indiscretion,
or may be a symptom only of some special weakness.
The proper treatment consists of local application for the purpose
of dispelling the stagnant blood and contracting the swollen veins, as
well as internal medication to strengthen tho nerves which govern the
blood supply to these veins.
Though causing you no trouble at the present time, your Varicocele
will, if permitted to go without the proper treatment. Impair and de
stroy the elements of vitality.
