The passenger list was the largest of any steamship leaving Portland since the Lewis and Clark Fair. OctiKral Manager Schwerin, Mr. Ftye and Mr. Blair, of the Pad He Mail Steam ship Company were passengers on the Rose City. Mr. Schwerin and party have been In Portland for the past two weeks, looking over the condition of the com pany's affairs. During their stay here there has been a decided change In the policy and management of affairs. Pas senger rates were cut to to steerage and the main deck rooms, first-class, were re duced to 110. A move was on foot to reduce the freight rates but the with drawal of a number of the steam schoon ers, on account of the engineers' strike, prevented the action for a time. During his stay here Mr. Schwerin made arrangements for the opening of an up town ticket office. Desk room will be taken in the onice of the Illinois Central Company and an agent will be appointed to take charge of the tickets. As yet no one has been named for the position.

There seems to be a general opinion that Secretary of War Taft will be the Repub lican nominee for President of the United States. For my part I hope that he will not be nominated, because I believe that the Republican party will go dona to de feat with Mr. Taft as the standard-bearer. For he Us recognised as the uncompromising enemy of the laboring rlass. as evidenced in his every judicial decision where the in terests of labor were involved. So It i plain that the laboring class is against Mr. Taft and will be heard when the time come. The Republicans will have to run the best man they have got or get beaten. W. H. WOODRUFF.

OF Conference of Charities and Correction Files Vigor ous Protest. WARNING IS ' UNHEEDED State Board Defends Selection of the Pendleton Man as Superinten dent of Institution for Fee-ble-Minded at Salem. A vigorous protest against the ap pointment of H. K. Bickers as superin tendent of the Institution for the Feeble Minded at Salem, was made re cently to the members of the board of control of the state Institutions by the Oregon State Conference of Charities and Correction of this city. The ex ception of this society to '..he appoint ment of Mr. Bickers, explain the offi cers or the protesting organization, was not so much an attack on the in dividual as on the principle of appoint ing unfit men to public office in this state. It Is maintained by the officers of this society that the superintendent of the Institution for the Feeble Minded should be a trained educator or physician with actual training. These qualities, it Is averred, should supersede mere political considerations in the selection of that official. The protest was disregarded by the members of the state board on the ground that Mr. Bickers, who was formerly superintendent of the Oregon State Reform School. Is an efficient executive officer and aa such Is capable of surrounding himself with assistants who are capable of caring for and in structing the wards that may come un der his care and custody. In protesting against Mr. Bicker's appointment the State Conference of Charities and Correction on February 17. last, addressed the following letter to each of the three members of the state board, that is to say. Governor Chamberlain, Secretary ,of State Ben son, and State Treasurer Steel: Text of the Protest. Gentlemen: The undersigned, the Board of the Oregon State Conference of Charities and Correction, a voluntary association af filiated 'with the National Conference of Charities and Correction, at a meeting of the board, February 13, after full considera tion, has unanimously voted to protest against tho appointment recently announced of H. E. Bickers, as superintendent of the institution for the feeble-minded. Our rea sons do not so mucit concern an Individual, as a principle of appointment, which we beg to state as roiiows: An institution for the feeble-minded ta not Intended, except rarely, as a mere place of detention for these unfortunates, but for the amelioration of their condition, mentally and morally, by expert care; and their edu cation, so far as-nay be possible, into use fulness. The seuperlntendent should be a trained educator, or physician, with actual experience, If possible. In an institution of the kind. We submit that the money of the state will be wasted, and the intelligent sentiment of the community will be out raged, tr these qualities are left out, and considerations of a secondary nature sway the appointment of the superintendence. We submit that your appointee, whatever may be his character or general experience has not had the special experience for this post, nor does he possess the training- and quali fications which are critically demanded for uch an Institution of a specialized type, particularly in Us early formation. We recognise the grave responsibility In volved in animadverting upon the official action of your board, but beg to remind you of your responsibility to the entire body of the cltisen of the state, and of the mis fortune, waste and peril involved in the ap pointment to this trust of one who presum ably cannot claim the special knowledge and experience required. Hoping that your action may be revised; and a proper call be made for candidates whd can bring evidence of possessing the special training and experience necessary, we - remain. most respectfully yours, T. L. Eliot, U W. Pitton, Jonah B. Wise. Thomas N. Strong, W. T. Gardner, C. H. Chapman, W. R. Walpole, Mttlie R. Trum bull. Board Makes Reply. Replying to the protest, the State Board wrote as follows: Oregon State Conference of Charities and Correction: At a meeting- of the board of trustees of the State Institution for Fee ble Minded held on the 10th day of February. U'us, i was Instructed to notify you that the board of trustees, after having dis cussed and considered your letter of protest of February 17. a copy of which had been received by each of the members thereof. It was unanimously voted not to recede from their action in appointing H. E. Bickers, of Pendleton, superintendent of the institu tion, and that you may be further and more fully advised, inclose a copy of the minutes of the meeting of the board relating to Its action on such formal letter of protest. Very respectfully, (Signed S. A. KOZER, Clerk. The minutes as sot forth in the letter follow: pM-m Or . Feb. ioas. The board of APPOINTMENT BICKERS OPPOSED 1 1 U i trustees of the State Institution for Feeble Minded met in the board room in the Capitol building, this day, there being pres ent Hon. George E. Chamberlain. Governor; Hon. F. W. Benson, Secretary of State, and Hon. George A. Steel, State Treasurer, and the clerk of tha board. The minutes of the previous meeting- were read and approved. r K letter of protest from the Ore son State Conference of Charities and Correction, with headquarters at Portland, Or., having been received by each member of the board of trustees, such lettsr of protest was taken under consideration by the board at this time, and, after having been discussed and considered by it, it was unanimously deter mined not to recede fivm the former action in appointing H. E. Bickers, of Pendleton, superintendent of the State Institution for Feeble-Minded, for the following reasons: First That Mr. Bickers has proven his efficiency as a public officer in his capacity as former superintendent of the State Re form School Second That the board is of the opinion that the superintendent of this institution is to be selected because of his capacity as an executive officer. In which capacity Mr. Bickers has proven his efficiency. Third That if capable as an executive officer, he will be able, with the assistance and approval of the board, to choose persons who are well fitted to care for and instruct the unfortunate wards of Uie state who may come under his care and custody. For the reasons stated, the members of the board feel It their duty to retain Mr. Bickers and the clerk is therefore instructed to notify the protestaats of the reasons that have influenced them, and to say. that In the opinion of the board, the superintendent Is not required to be a trained educator or physician, but rather a man of good judg ment and executive ability, capable of se lecting efficient, trained and competent em ployes and assistants to carry out a work over which he has the general direction and superintendence. There being; no further business at this time, requiring the attention of the board, the meeting; adjourned. GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN, Governor. F. W. BENSON. Secretary of State. GEORGE A. STEEL., State Treasurer. Rejoinder Is Made. In reply to this action, the following. letter has been sent to the Board of Trustees of the Institution for the Feeble minded: Gentlemen We beg to acknowledge the courteous letter and accompanying copy of your minutes, stating your reaeona for not receding from the appointment made. We feel so strongly that the principle on which your selection Is based. Is contrary to good public policy, and the welfare of the wards of the State, that we submit the whole mat ter renewed!? to yourselves and to the pub It? as the chief people In interest. Our position Is that or all State Institu tions, the chief in charge should be a per son specifically trained, or qualified by long experience, in the care, reform and educa tion of the wards In Question, be they pris oners, the insane or tha defective, and that what may be called the business part, the books, supplies and minor administration, may properly be delegated to subordinates, under the general suggestion of your Board. We understand the method of the Board to be the reverse of this as 4t seems to us - fundamental principle one we may say ob served unanimously, unless In Institutions subject to the Legislature. As a recent ex ample, we note the appointment in the pub He schools of Portland, of a head to the Trades School. An expert of long expert ence and approved skill as a teacher In this special department was sent for; the other method would have been to take any good carpenter, or a general teacher. We again submit that experience in another institution (the Reform School , waiving the question of whether efficient or not, and general qualifications as an ad ministrator, are not the prime requisites In the office of Director of an Institution for the Feeble-Minded- unless these unfortu nates are merely to be corralled. The expenditure of public funds in this direction is totally unjustified, unless these wards are classified, treated, trained and cared for, physically and morally, by those who have made It a profession. And the head of the institution should pre-eminently have special training- and experience, which can be felt as authority through the de tails oX all institutional life. We beg to remain. Yours most respectfully, . THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE ORE GON STATE CONFERENCE OF CHARI TIES AND CORRECTION. THAW DENIES HE IS INSANE Will Resolutely Contest Wire's Suit for Divorce. NEW YORK.
