I am reckless In this regard. Yet th Mayor, In a aerlc of rommunl cattona to th public, published over bla siarnatur In the press, has been insinuating that T. as well as olhar members of this body, hav been guilty of official misconduct In this matter. Only thia morning, 1 read a letter re. IsMng to the propose'd vacation of streets for th Tnman-Poulseti Com pany. In which th Mayor urged the people to flock here In great throngs, lo protest against, th giving away of these streets.

Rt this time, Mr. Baker hnd the at tention of the large number of people w-ho crowded th Council chamber, aa well aa the members of the Council. He, directed hla speech to Mayor Lane, and continued: "Thia thing has now been going on for a long time, and I am sick and tired of It. I now call upon Tour Honor to fro- dtrc the proof. If any. of official wrong doing n my part or on the part of any other member of this Council. Specify your case: point out any member or set of members, and show what you have against thorn.

Mayor Lan. in a qluet manner, ex plained to Mr. Baker that it has been the custom for years for the Council to vacate streets, for which nothing was given In return, whenever a corporation has asked It. "Corporation managers hover about this Council chamber, whispering In the ears of th Oounoilmen." said Mayor Lane. But I never see the people here whisper ing to Counoilmen. and I tell you. Mr. Baker and gentlemen, that ao long as this rontlnuea I shall continue to enlighten the public, on all matters coming under my observation. Do you think I am blind? I am not. I ee. As I stt here I watch the movements of corporation men. and I see what t golraj on. I tell you, I will keep on writing to th people.

With k few minor amendments, which In no way materially alter the measure, the ordinance regulating physicians. surgeons, osteopaths, dentists and other medical practitioners was pRssed hy the Council by a large majority voto yester day afternoon. This Is a victory for Councilman- Cottei. himself a doctor and druggist. The law waa Introduce by him on behalf of the City and County Medical Society, as th members wished a simpler means of reaching quacks" than the present statutes. There are numerous "quacks" who have no certificates, entitling them to practice medicine, at whom the law Is aimed particularly. It Is argued by the legiti mate practitioners that this ordinance will enable the police to regulate wtth ease the practice of medicine. The prin cipal provision is that all practitioners are required to post their certificates In their offices. It is made an offense for a doctor lo practice without so posting his certificate, and an arrest can be made on this alone, without waiting to work up other evidence. It Is said this ordinance supplements the state law in a way that- will make It possible for the offi cials to drive out a large number of tine desirable practitioners. Decline to Allow Deputy. The City Council yesterday afternoon voted a"gaTnst a recommendation to grant to Plumbing Inspector Hey an additional clerk for Tiis office, at a salary not to exceed J-V a month. The Committee Vn "Ways and Means brought in the recom mendation, which was sufficient to make defeat probable, as Mayor line's political friends control the committee. Widen Streets in Piedmont. . Councilman Vaughn yesterday afternoon secured the passage, by the. Council, of a resolution fixing the width of certain streets. In Piedmont, at 24 feet. These streeta are In the district bounded by Ainsworth. Killingsworth, Union and Wil liams avenues, and it is the intention of the property-owners to pa the whole tract wild, hard-surface pavement.

A petition, blaring the r..e. ...... ',4 V , ,J 4 1 f y 1 a ; no rare I.. Raker, Whn Scored Mayor I.ane nt Veaterday'a onnctl Meet Inn;. names of J6 per cent of the qualified voters of the territory In question, was before the body, and after several rest dents spoke in favor of the movement the Council voted to grant Ihe petltjyn. A large number of eopie were pront from various sections of the Mount Scott district, and when the result of the bal lot was announced, they burst into loud cheers. Mayor Lane was obliged .to rap loudly for order. A remonstrance against the proposed annexation was also pre sented, bearing about 3"0 names, but It waa Ignored, as the Councilmen thought the question Is purely one to be settled at the polls. Councilman Baker took a prominent part in the discussion, first asking Mayor Lane his opinion of the probable effect on the city, should the Mount Scott dis trict be annexed. The Mayor replied that. If the residents of the section ex pect .water, lights, police protection and everything that goes to make a metro politan c-ty. they will be disappointed. He said that the lack of funds to ex tend water mains, to put In a lighting system, and to install fi? apparatus pre cludes these improvements until such time as they can be provided for in their regular turn. Personally, the Mayor said, be favored annexation. Ben Rcisland. an enthusiastic booster for annexation, spoke at considerable length, explaining why the - petitioners wish to become an integral part of Port land. He thought it would be a matter of mutual benefit, he said, in due time. During hi speech, he said that the real movers against annexation are the owners of private water works in the dis trict. He said they had been very active and would continue so. "I have heard these people argue against annexation, saying that, should we become a part of Portland we would then fall into the hands of this Coun cil," said Mr. Reisland, "and those peo ple said that this Council is a body of grafters." "No personalities." shouted Mayor Lane, from the chair, rapping with the gavel. After Mr. Reisland concluded Mr. Baker arose and said: "I wish to thank Your Honor for call Ine Mr. Reisland to order when he re ferred to this Council as a set of grafters. .Jbw - ' - ft f That whs proper for Tour Honor to do; tha privilege of an designating tha 'nun c.ll la reserved for Your Honor." Thia aar'-aallo fling created much laugh ter, and waa not replied to br Mayor I.ane. Councilman fVlfe, who at the laat C'otlhr.-ll meeting declared Ota VmM Hid to- l a "dead town," and who asld that, a high brldg "might facilitate the haul ing nt alnhwond," aros"e afi said he fa vored anneaatlon. "1 know no Wast Sid or Weat Wda." asld Ir. Coltel. "It la all 1'orHand lo trie ' "la this your apology?" facetiously queried Mr. Raker, recalling Hie scath ing resolution passed astnlrist lr. Cottei by Kast Hl'ln elllhs. In which they railed upon Mr. Coltel for an apology or his resignsllon. A hearty laugh followed, and after sev eral iViimcllmeti apoke In favor of a brief postponement of the matter for Hie pur pose of Investigation, the ballot was taken. . Adjourned Kewalon of oiitiftl.

April 22. rro the Ktfr) BHnir a nalonnman. and om;-hat bewildered. I want to nek a quntfon of th puWte. For many yearn the nfrwcpapem, the prachrr and th Prohibit inn Ints have be-n adviidna me and my colleague!! to ptay nut of poli tic. At thf aame time the rrohlbftiontta art Kotna- to call . local option election neat June and put me oat of bualnwj. Now, what am t to do? It mi to b s caee, of "you'll be damned if you do and you'll he damned if you don't." If I auk my fi-tend to vote atralnat prohibition, I will be accused of 'a-tttna' Into polities'." If I don't. I will be rproacnd with showing a lack of interest in my own affaim. If I araae that prohibition ataa-naten buslneaa and throwa people out of employment, I am "doing: pontics." If I don't, the prachtrs will have the field all to themselves. and their poohlerMcal arrumenta will be believed by many person who have never heard the other side. I want to know how a liquor merchant can stay out of politic when the my is tuji- or professional1 hlrett agitators, armed with an unfair local option law. Again: If I am not a tub!ic sneaker my self, would it be allowable for me to hire some one to speak in my behalf? The other wae aoes u. n i am not a writer myseir, might I pay a man to write for me? The point to thia: If F pay to have these things doty. I wiU be accused of "raising a huge corruption fund." But In a Portland evening paper. April 15 . the Rev. J. R. Kno dell. a salaried superintendent of the Anti Saloon Ieaa-ue, stated that his side would have a large fighting fund and that one man alone had subscribed S10"O to It. Is mure for the goose no longer sauce for the gander? And further: It has been sugg-effted that the liquor merchant publish In the daily paper the names of all who sign the local option petitions. If this Is done, would1 H be Justifiable for me to refuse to patronize those men mo sign tne petitions wntcn aim to put me out of bueine-w? If I were to buy my groceries and clothing, etc.. only from some friendly store. I will be accused of "twycot tlnar" my opponents. And yet I remember two years ago that the Rev. J. "Whit comb Brougher advised his followers not to patron ize The Oregonlan. because tt refused to side In with mm on an points. a Dustnew man said to me the other day that It was about time for the liquor men to patronise theh" friend? and refuse to do trosiness with their enemies. Now would it be wrong for my col leagues and mvself to take this advice? I really think the situation would be per plexing to ar.y man. and especially to i email llnuor merchant who Is a great be liever in minding his own business and tn allowing others to mind theirs. J.
