Main 550 Home Rhone A2537 H COMPANY SIXTH AND WASHINGTON STREETS BAKER SCHEM E Playground for Children Is Favored by Councilman. WOULD USE A PARK BLOCK a fence no one "would dare to molest the children and they would be perfectly safe." THINKS DEBS IS ALL RIGHT Thinks Fine Romping Place for LIU tip Boys and Girls Could Be Pro vided at a Cost of But a Few Hundred Dollars. Councilman George L. Baker will exert his Influence with the Council and the Executive Board to have the block bound ed by Park and West Park streets and Salmon and Main streets converted into a children playground. Already he has succeeded In arousing the enthusiasm of pome of tho city officials over the idea and many prominent citizens who heave learned of the movement are lending him their moral support. The sentiment In favor of the establish ment of a playground for children prom ises to reach sxich proportions that when Mr. Baker asks the Council to appro priate several hundred dollars for that purpose It is believed the money will be readily forthcoming1. Mayor Lane and members of the Hlxecutive Board have rone on record as ardent advocates for playgrounds for children and there Is every reason to think the board will co operate with tho Council. The first stop that Councilman Baker took to effect this end was to obtain from City Attorney McXary an opinion as to whether the city has the right to convert one or more of the Park blocks into playgrounds. Mr. McNary says that the Council cannot set apart one of the blocks by enclosing it with a, tence. but believes that swings and other parapher nalia with which children enjoy outdoor exercise could be set up on any of the blocks without any legal complications arising. In a letter to Mr. Baker City Attorney McXary says: "I have to advise you that the blocks referred to as the Park hlocks were by the acts of Stephen Coffin ,as construed by the Supreme Court, dedi cated to the public as parks,. In my opin ion the Council could not set aside one of such blocks for a. particular use, such as a public playground." Mr. Baker originally planned to have the playgrounds enclosed, but he says that this is not necessary. He believes, and his opinion is shared by many others, that if any one of the blocks is fitted up as a playground, the boys and girls will not be subjected to the intrusion of older Persons. The block embraced by Park and West Park streets and Salmon and Main Mreets is regarded as an ideal location for a playground. There are but very few vacant lots In that neighborhood where children can romp about and the density of population in that part of the city is rapidly Increasing. By the expen diture of $200 or H00 excellent playgrounds would be available to the children. "It is only a question of time until we will have to establish numerous play grounds about the city, and the sooner we begin, the better lor the growing gen eration.' declared Mr. Baker yesterday afternoon. "Every child should have an opportunity to play about in the open air and what the boys need ia plenty of vigorous outdoor exercise. There are thousands of children in Portland who are deprived of this opportunity. If there were enough playgrounds there would be fewer boys roaming the streets. "To fix up one of those Park blocks will cost an Insignificant sum compared to the health and happiness it will bring, We could put up swing?, tutors, turning poles and other equipment that brings enjoyment to young America, We could arrange one or a part of a btnek for boys and another part for girls. Even without Uis Great Purpose Is to Benefit Fellow-Man, Says Mr. Harris, PORTLAND, April 25. (To the Edifor.) Concrete statements can almost always be misconstrued and mistaken unless one Is familiar with the subject and circum stances. Very few men. great or small, have not, under stress, said more or less un warrantable things. If language was ade quate to express every shade of thought, feeling, motive and desire, and It were pos sible for all men to have perfect command of it, Mr. Debs m Igh t not appear to Mr. Roosevelt to be an "undesirable citizen." It is devoutly to be wished Mr. Roosevelt does not entirely judge the desirability of men by half ot what they say and do In total Indifference to the other "half. Mr. Debs has said many things more or less fooIlBh and unwarrantable. So has Mr. Roosevelt, and it is my humble opinion the President has recently added a few more to his list But that Is all. Both must be Judged by what they really are, and their acts and utterances by their motives, education and environment. There are few better-Informed men along lines that today demand the most serious and careful consideration of the world than Eugene V. Debs, and Mr. Roosevelt is by no means excepted. No matter how much Mr. Roosevelt and I disagree with the methods of Mr. Debs to bring about the conditions sought, and I am sure we both do disagree, at least In part, still there Is no such thing as questioning the motives of Mr. Debs or denying that he Is Imbued ulth sincere, unselfish devotion to his fellowmen and Is 'backed by much ex perimental knowledge and the ability to write, epeak and aet effectually on the same. He resigned a lucrative editorial position to devote his life to perfecting a grand federation of railway labor and the results of his efforts were of immeasurable value. He believed he saw ft limit to his work In that direction and then turned his attention to what he conceives to be a more neces sary task. H was arrested and imprisoned while defending his fellows in trouble. He may have done some unwarrantable things to bring this about, but millions of men no longer hold this against him because they concede there was provocation and that it was at least in part to blame. He Is an undesirable citizen much ae was John Brown. Undesirable to Mr. Roose velt and many others, possibly, but not to all oh, no, not by any means, to all. Labor acts strictly within Its place and rights in voicing Its fidelity to the cause of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone In pa rades, mass meetings, organised clubs, etc Under stress at such times concrete utter ances more or less foolish are made, to be sure. This Is always the case among a lot of enthusiastic men. They know these men In an Idaho prison as brothers and would be unfeeling and despicable curs If they did not show their fidelity in every conceivable way as Ions; as they think any possible thing can be accomplished for their cause. What would become of the traditions of our own country's history from beginning to end in the light of this last bit of Roose veltlan logic? Moyer. Haywood and JPsttibone may be bad men, and if so it Is to be hoped their guilt may be established, but It Is labor's rlsht and duty to work steadfastly in their cause, believing in their innocence, until they are found guilty. The writer has, for a long time, been an admirer of Roosevelt, but was very much disappointed to note that in his recent let ter he did not so much, as refer to the other sld of the story in Colorado- With all his boasted fidelity to the com mon spirit among Americans I believe this on unguarded letter will do more to ac centuate the class distinction between labor and capital than any one or a dosen acts of his to prevent such distinction. I think this because his great following will quickly acquiesce In his Judgment and the thought ful labor following will as quickly take issue. . JL. HARRIS. STRAWBERRY PEST DEADLY WORM IS DESTROYING MAXt VINES IN COUNTY. Frait. Inspector Deich Says This Year's Crop Will Be Unusually Short No Remedy for Evil. The strawberry growers of Multnomah County about Mount Tabor are again confronting the probable destruction of a considerable portion of their vines and crops by the reappearance of a small worm that eats awav the heart of. the vines. Richard Deiclu Fruit Inspector for Multnomah County, has made an inspec tion, of the strawberry tracts at Mount Tabor and Russellville, and savs that they are all more or less in the grasp of this pest, with the prospects that the crop will be very short. He Is not able to sug gest a remedy, and no one else has yet been able to tell how to exterminate the pest. It Is not a new pest. It appeared three years ago, but not so extensively as now. ana it was men predicted that it would sweep away many of the strawberry tracts. Appeal was made to the Oregon agricultural experiment station for some way to combat the pest, but no effective remedy was found. Professor A. B. Cordley, in his address before the Evening Star Grange Pair, held In the hall on Section Line road three years ago, was asked for a remedy, but admitted that he could suggest no other way than to pull up the vines In fields af fected and burn them, and then reset with new vines. Many of the growers did this. but, according to Inspector Deich, the pest nas tftKen a tresn grip on the vines and Is causing greater havoc than ever. The worm seems to come from the ground and eats out . the crown of the vines, killing them. It appears that spraying the vines will not rout the pest. Inspector Deich made examination . of destroyed vines and found a small worm, not the ordinary cutworm, but just as deadly in its work. That is why he thinks the strawberry crop around Mount Tabor and elsewhere in. the county will be short this year. The committee is ae follows: Dr. J. B. Keefer, Dr. M. F. Fenton, Dr. F. S. Sellwood, Dr.- Joseph Hlckey, Dr. O. S. Ireland. Dr. C. c. Newcastle and Dr. 3. W. Stryker. Among other problems and demonstra tions to be studied at the gathering of the dentists is the bare-lip operation, which will be performed at the Saturday ses sion by Dr. I. D. Meyer. Any party knowing of a case of hare-Hp which can be secured by the doctors for the demon stration operation is requested to com municate with Dr. Meyer. The following are the officers of the as sociation: President, George H. Nottage: vice-president, A. P. Watson: secretary and treasurer, Jean Cline. Cared of Kheumittl gm. Mr. Wm. Henry, of Chattanooga, Tenn.. had rheumatism in his left arm. - "The strength seemed to have gone out of the muscles so that It was useless for work." he savs: 'I aDDlied Chamberlain's Pain Balm and wrapped the arm in flannel at night, and to my relief I found that the pnin gradually left me any my strength returned. In three weeks the rheunta-' tlsm had disappeared and has not since returned." If troubled with rheumatism try a few applications of Fain Balm. Tou are certain to be pleased with the relief wmon it anoras. FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON Lute Royer Thompson, Young Port land Musician, to Be Laid at Rest.

Thirty-live brawny would-be patrolmen were taken to the Multnomah Field yes terday afternoon, where they demon strated their agility as runners. They' all proved good sprinters, as not one of them failed to qualify. Some of the men were remarkably swift. These 3fi applicants have passed the physical test, but they are still almost as far from the goal of their ambition that Js. to he a Portland bluecoat as they were Deiore tney applied to the City Civil Service Commission. The mental test Is the terrible pitfall that they have to face. The mental examination which the ap plicants have to take has a percentage even more deadly than spinal meningitis. At the last examination 17 prospective patrolmen took the mental test and but one passed. The test is very simple, and any ordinary schoolboy should be able to answer nearly every question that is pro pounded. However, some of the most ef ficient patrolmen in Portland are as ig norant In book learning as the Southern negroes. OREGON DENTSTS TO MEET State Association Will Hold Annual Convention Next Week.

Favors Observance of Anniversary of Portland's First City Elec - tion at Same Time. Dan McAUen now wants a great and glorious Fourth of July celebration. What Is more, he says he is going to have It, and no one disputes his. word. Although he has been seriously ill he has taken an early departure from his sick bed and Is talking Fourth of July. , . He proposes to have the biggest cele bration in the -history of Portland and his enthusiasm has formed the nucleus for a great event. Mr. McAllen plans to make the celebration of noteworthy inter est by observing at the same time the 56th anniversary of the first city election. Tuesday, April 7 of this year was the 5Sth anniversary of the election and Mr. McAllen thinks that the two days could be fittingly observed and gloriously cele brated on the same day. "Now is the time for It; let's all pull together," said Mr. McAllen yesterday. "The people want it and they shall have it. Had it not been for the San Fran cisco fire we would have had a great time last Independence Day, but this year we can give a celebration far grander than the one we had planned for last year. 'By all means we should celebrate the 56th anniversary of our first city elec tion simultaneously with our Fourth pf July. Why not? Everybody Is Interested in the approach of election and at this time would "enter into -the proper spirit for- the celebration. - Old Fourth of July will get the greatest reception of its his tory in Portland this year." Mayor Lane yesterday seemed to be pleased over the prospects of a celebra tion. He said that If the citizens want a celebration he will co-operate with them and that he is willing if he believes this is the proper time for It to appoint a committee to make the preliminary ar rangements. The idea of observing the ,56th anni versary of the first city election was sug gested last Fall by George H. Hlnes. Hugh D. O'Bryant was the first Mayor, and Robert Thompson, Shubrick Norris, George A. Barnes, T. G. Robinson and L. B. Hastings composed the first -Board f Aldermen. W.- S. Caldwell was the first Recorder. Of these men the only one now known to be living is George A. Barnes, at Olympla, Wash.

"INDICATIONS ACTIVITY" Another move to broaden the field and scope of the realty- market took place this week when the firm of Heilbronner & Smith was formed. Mr. Smith has been identified with the business interests of Portland for over 2o years and has a wide acquaintance. He will assume the management of the Portland end of the business, while Mr. Heilbronner will con tinue operations in Hood River during the Summer months, but will arrange to spend a good portion of the year in Portland. The old firm of J. H. Heilbron ner & Co., who have been in business here for over a year, will now be known as Heilbronner & Smith, and for the present will occupy their old quarters in the Lumber Exchange building. As soon aR suitable quarters can be found they will fit up offices on the ground floor so as to be better equipped to handle their interests in Hood River and Port land. Being liberal advertisers and having already established a high reputa tion for,clean business, we predict a rapid growth for the new firm. Constipation, which gives rise to many graver troubles, is cured and prevented by Carter's Little Liver Pills. Try them and rou will be convinced. FACTS, ROT FICTION Experiences of Portland Citizens Are Easily Proven to B Facts. The most superficial investigation will prove that the following state ment from a resident of Portland is true. Read it and compare evi dence from Portland people with tes timony of ' strangers living so far away you cannot investigate the facts of the case. Many more citizens "of Portland will indorse our claims. Mrs. L. C. Heidleback, of 652 East Tenth street, Portland, Or., says: "In my experience Doan's Ointment is the best remedy I ever used for the com plaints it is guaranteed to cure. It brought me almost immediate relief more than I ever expected for I had been annoyed for a year or more with itching hemorrhoids, which, although not serious, were very annoying. I heard about Doan's Ointment, and got a box at a drugstore. - Its use gave me the highest opinion of such an effective remedy." For 6ale by all dealers. Price, 50 cents!

In his fruit less efforts to explore and con quer the whole field of medicine and surgery the average physician so scatters his talents that he be comes thoroughly proficient in no particular branch; possesses .no special skill, no expert knowledge on any given subject. - But the true specialist not the ALLKltEO spi cialist. whose pre tended specialty Inr-Iudes every bumen 111, as their announcements imply the genuine expert never attempts more than he can do well. His persistent study, dili grcnt research and scientific Inves tigations are all directed to a few diseases, a single class of them, on which all of his efforts are concentrated and to which his practice is limited. Hence he be comes easily supreme In his chos en field of work. If you are, ' therefore, suffering from any of the diseases, weak; nesses, defects or Infirmities pe culiar to men. . who ought to be aole to do you more good the or dinary doctor, who does the best he can, but honestly makes no claim to special skill; the pre tender, who represents himself as a specialist in every ailment of man. woman and child; or the legitimate specialist, who has given the best years of his life to the study and treatment of this one single class of trouble? KIDNEY AND URINARY DISEASES Such as enlarged Prostate, Cystitis, or Inflammation of the Bladder, with resultant kidney affections, drains and losses, receive most skill ,ful expert treatment, and a perfect and permanent cure is Kuaranteed In every case taken. Our method of treating those complicated ail ments is painless and without resort to surgery. The affected centers are soon restored to their natural vigor and vitality, and the patient made stronig and healthy. The Scientific Treatment of Weakness Dosing the system with' powerful stimulants and tonics in an effort to restore functional vigor can have but one final result; The condition is rendered worse than before. "Weakness" is merely an indication of a low form of inflammation in the prostatic gland, and tliis inflammation Is but aggravated by stimulating remedies that excite temporary activ ity. W-e employ the only scientific and fully effective treatment for "weakness," which effects a permanent cure by restoring the prostate gland to a sound and healthy state. We obtain complete results in every case we treat. WB WANT EVERY MAKf IW THE COUNTRY WHO IS AFFLICTED TO WRITE US ABOUT HIS AILMENT. Hours: 9 A. M. td 6 P. M.; evenings, 7 to 8:30: Sundays. 9 A.
