13 TIIE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1909. STATE MILITARY CODE HELD VALID Attorney - General Crawford Declares New Law Will Stand Test Easily. LOOKS UP CONSTITUTION Measure in Which Guardsmen Are Deeply Interested Only Awaits Governor's Signature In Or der to Become Kffective. Question raised yesterday morning a to the constitutionality of the new military code, -which jrlves Adjutant-General W. H. Plnzer a life tenure on hie position. caused consternation In the camp of the National Guardsmen who drafted the measure. Alarm that the measure might be brought up for reconsideration and thrown out because of Irregularity of form did not vanish until late In the day. when Attorney-General Crawford rendered an opinion upholding the con stitutionality of the clause. After a care ful examination of the law. Jlr. Crawford said it was entirely constitutional and rexular. The question as to ita regularity was raised by Representative Campbell, of Clackamas County, who has been oppos ing the measure. He quoted section 2 of article 10 of the State Constitution which says: "Whenever the duration of any office is not provided for by the constitution it may be declared by law If not declared such office ehall be lield during the pleasure of the authority mak ing the appointment. But the Legislature shall not create any office the tenure of which shall be longer than four years This appears convincing enough, but the superficial aspects of that section van ish immediately under interpretation. As dissected by Jlr. Crawford last night the section does not apply to the provision of the military code permanently estab lishing the Adjutant-General's office; at least does not apply in the sense of re stricting that action for the office in question is Itself created by the consti tution. s "I believe the measure is all right after an examination of the law affecting the subject." said Mr. Crawford. 'Section 3 of Article 10 provides that the Governor shall appoint the Adjutant-General and the other chief officers of the general staff and his own staff. That makes the office of Adjutant-General a constitu tional office. Section 2 of Article 10 says that when the duration of any office is not provided by the constitution it may be declared by law. and if not so de clared may be held during the pleasure of the authority making the appointment. Thus it is a constitutional office and not an office created by the Legislature. The tenure i not prescribed by the consti tution. Therefore it Is within the powers of the Legislature to prescribe its dura tion." This opinion was concurred in by Judge Advocate-General Bauer after an after noon devoted to examination of the laws Involved. Other attorneys and one well known jurist approached by the com mittee which drafted the measure held to the same idea, so the guardsmen re ported last night. Hence they say that all nuestlon as to the bill is ended and that it will become a law as soon as Governor Chamberlain's signature Is attached, and the Governor is quoted as being earnestly In favor of the new code from beginning to end.

BOfi STILL OCCUPIES CELL OWNERSHIP OT- WHITE PUP TO BE FOUGHT OUT TODAY. Many Witnesses Will Testify in Suit Over Mlltlades, Canine of ' High Degree. Beset with such troubles and over whelmed by such indignities as have been the lot of few canine aristocrats. Mil tiades. the white bull terrier pup claimed by Mrs. Eva Fouts, still occupies a soli tary cell in the City Jail, disconsolate and morose. The question of his owner ship was postponed in Municipal Court yesterday and will be heard today. Mlltlades shows what he thinks about such treatment in every way possible. A shabby, poorly-dressed prisoner who had been arrested for vagrancy, attempted to pet the dog yesterday by putting his hand through the bars and patting him on the head. Mlltlades sprang at the proffered hand of friendship with feroc ity, as If to show that he completely spurned such company. The dog rebels against captivity. Re fusing to eat, pacing nervously back and forth in his cell, he has abandoned the air of aristocratic stoicism he assumed when first confined in the cell. Several persons called to see him yesterday, among them Mrs. Fouts, each claiming the animal as his own. So thoroughly dis gusted was MilUades with his treatment that he ignored them all, refusing even a friendly wag -of his tail. A bitter fight for possession of the dog led to his incarceration in the Jail as the result of his capture on a search warrant Issued Thursday In Municipal Court at the instigation of Mrs. Fouts. Most of the officers and many others believe she really owns the dog. but other claimants assert a case of mistaken canine Iden tity. Sam Fries, driver for Inman-Poulsen, who says he intrusted the dog to the care of Ziegler at the barn where he was taken. Insists that Mlltlades is his own, and that the dog claimed by Mrs. Fouts Is a full brother of the big white terrier now confined In the Jail. Persons from St. Helens, where the doe is said to have been born, have been summoned and will appear In court this morning to testify. Veterinary surgeons nave also been subpenaed, policemen will appear and numbers of others will ofTer testimony this morning concerning the ownership of the handsome dog. Mrs. Fouts. while emphatically assert ing her ownership, is distressed as a re sult of the claims set ud by the others. She Insists that she could not be mistaken in the identity of her pet. SOUNDS BOTE OF WARNINC AMERICA BECOMTXG XATION OF DIVORCEES, SAYS RIDDELL. Speaker Urges Necessity of Laws Uniform Throughout Country and Higher Morality. "Love and Lovers, Marriage and Di vorce," was the title of Newton R. Rid- aens lecture last night in the White Temple. This lecture concluded the series which Mr. Riddell has been de livering there during the past two weeks. The lecture was in the nature or a plea for a more thoughtful atti tude toward the married relation, and a presentation of certain principles governing that relation from the stand point of psychology. The speaker re ferred to the evils of divorce, and de clared that only a National divorce law and stricter regulations relative to marriage would bring about the desired change. Said Mr. Riddell: "Marriage is rapidly on the decline: divorce Is on the increase in America; every 12th marriage results In divorce. We are becoming a nation of divorces. The respect for marriage, the fidelity in marriage, is on the decline. It is one of the gravest problems that con fronts the American people from the. Judicial, social and religious stand points. W hen Rome was mistress of the world It is said marriage was high ly respected. The Roman woman was proud to be a mother and the wife of a Roman. The fall of that great empire is known to have been due to a lower ing of the moral standard of the Ro man people. Pessimists have presumed to see the same dangers menacing this Republic, which will result as they did in Rome, unless something is done to stop this matrimonial infidelity. "I have no such fear. Christianity will redeem us from our mistakes. Some day we will wake up and recog nize the evil of divorce. Laws will be passed restraining thousands who have no right to marry. Marriage at its best is heaven realized. Marriage at its worst need not be defined. Obser vation and history prove that the phys ical, mental and moral nature are best sustained in a life of holy wedlock, juarriage has for its first object the de velopment of the individual; for its sec ond object the perpetuation of the race. History proves that children to be well born must be born of love, must be raised and sustained by. love. Mar riage has for its third object the estab lishment of the home, the nucleus of society. "I have bombarded Congress for years for a uniform divorce law, but I haven't even heard an echo yet. The President is .interested, for he says so from time to time. I want to get peo ple away from the marriage from hyp notic control, from purely mercenary motives. About one-third of all the i marriages are the result of these. They AMUSEMENTS.
