t Acting Chief of Police Slover took

shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday after

The new Chief was met at the door of
his office by his retiring predecessor,
who grasped him warmly by the hand
and expressed his best wishes.

Chief Klover declares that everybody

opinion of the duties of an official.
"I supposed 1 wouia oe

The statement follows:
"Some people are very feverish and
smbltlous for place. They wish to be
conspicuous. Influential and prominent.
They court office. They long for power.
They will do almost anything for an
exalted position. They seldom suffi
ciently consider the Increased responsi
bilities In the fulfillment of their de
sires. It Is mere flare and glitter of
station by which they are captivated,
without laying to heart the additional
Jeopardr which It Imposes, and there
are some who seem to consider offlc a
full license for them to do as they

sight abuse of power with him la the
worst of all abuses. A sin more aggra
vated than ordinary sin. what In other
men might be considered trivial, in
them is held to a most strict accounta
bility. Let the public men consider
this and tremble when they lay hold of
the helm of power.
"Office Is a solemn and awful thing.
It Is a momentous trust, a fearful
charge, and It Is to be entered Into
reverently and discreetly and In the
fesr of God. Over Its portals are writ
ten this Inscription In letters of flame:
"Let him who enters here beware
of a Jealous God within.'
"If any would enter office let him
read that inscription and tread softly,
lest It should prove to him the gate
way to death and perdition.
"There Is a very serious augmenta
tion of responsibility going along with
high station. A public man Is some
what like a town clock, upon which
much more depends than upon private
time pieces. A man's watch gets wrong
and It Is only he who 1 misled. But,
when the great public clock gets out of
the way multitudes are deceived and
the whole community is lead astray or
thrown Into confusion. Hence, the ne
cessity for greater care and attention
with reference to the on than the
other.
"Every official personage Is responsi
ble beyond a common Individual for the
reason and to the extent that his office
or station represents others besides
himself. A parent la responsible be
yond a child because ha acts for Influ
ences and represents the child. A
minister Is responsible beyond one of
his congregation because he. In a meas
ure, acts for Influences and represents
those who attend his ministrations. A
Judge maintains the same relation to
his subjects.
"A sin In the public man is a sin to
the sinning of others, and It Is pecu
liarly aggravated first, because It Is
presumed that ne understands nis of
fice and knows Its duties before enter
ing upon It- A public character. In
some respects. Is like a copy set by a
schoolmaster at the head of the page,
which feeble hands will Imitate to
every letter, and carve and line and dot.
If th copy Is wrong, and that by rea
son of the mistake by him who set the
conv. the master Is thus accountable
for the error of the pupil. Th parent
for th child, th pastor for the church
members, the ruler for his subjects,
the priest for the people. A sin In high
life la greater offense than the same
sort of sin tn the humbler walks. It la
more mischievous In Its effects, it Is
committed under more solemn responsi
bilities and requires heavier atonement,

MAYOR IS AGAIN ILL
Rushlight Has Slight Relapse
Following Meal.
CITY AFFAIRS ARE STUDIED
Dceplte Sickness Executive Is at
Office All Day Discussing Poll-
cies to Be Observed In
Conduct of Office.
Mayor Rushlight suffered a relapse
late Sunday night and was very sick
ontil i o'clock yesterday morning. He
ate some squab for Sunday dinner, this
being the first meat he had eaten since
he was poisoned by ptomaines shortly
after his election. June 5. While weak
ened, he nevertheless appeared at the
executive office early for business and
remained on duty all day. presiding at
his first Executive Board meeting at
4 o'clock In the afternoon.
The Mayor yesterday discussed poli
cies concerning various important busi
ness, including paving, water meters
and the Police Department. He in
tends to make a careful study of all
city affairs, making himself familiar
with them, as soon as possible.
Hard Surface Favored.
In discussing; the policy to be fol
lowed by him with regard to paving,
the Mayor said that he prefers hard
surface improvements to gravel or
macadam, but that he will be guided by
the wishes of property owners in this
respect.
"I shall favor giving to property
owners whatever kind of pavement or
street Improvement they want," said he.
"1 favor hard-surface streets, but I am
not at all Inclined to foist these kind
of pavements upon property owners
who are trying to buy a home or who
are unable to meet their obligations.
Neither am I In favor of large district
Improvement In outlying places. I
shall, however, keep the prices on all
kinds of paving down to what Is right."
The Mayor spoke very highly of
Captain Plover, who will be at the head
of the Follce Department indefinitely,
lie also ald that he will make a per
sonal study of this department, as well
as others. In order to know what con
ditions prevail and what action Is
necessary to Improve the service. He
fully realises that this Is one of the
most Important branches of the city
government and evidently Intends to
keep a close watch upon It.
Water Meters Urged.
As published In The Oregonlan four
weeks ago. Mayor Rushlight Is in favor
of the installation of water meters In
the residences of Portland, as well as
In the larger places, such as manufac
turing plants, laundries and the like.
It Is his belief that this system will
result In a very material saving In th
water supply, so that there will be no
shortage of water at any season of th
year. He also believes that it Is one
way to equalize rates.
The Mayor spent much of. the time
yesterday going over ordinances, which
were passed by th last City Council
session. Tomorrow morning he will
announce the City Council committee
appointments, which will complete his
work of appointments for the most
""lie probably will not do much out
side work this week, owing to the con
tltlon of his health, but If he is Im
proved, h probably will malt some
trips of inspection next week. Including
one to the garbage crematory.

Gents
Cheptsas, a restaurant proprietor. Anna
Bird, a waitress, was the complainant.

liceman heard the girl screaming and
rushed to her assistance.
COLLIERS' IS UPHELD
McCourt Believes Flags on Magazine
Cover Are Not Illegal.
United States District tAorney Mc
Court said yesterday that he does not
think Collier's Weekly violated the
Oregon law by selling In Oregon Its
last issue on the cover page of which'
are two American flags used as the
wings of an aeroplane.
"There Is a provisinon of the law
which says. This act shall not apply
to the regular issue of a newspaper or
other periodical on which shall be
printed said flag disconnected from
any advertisement, said Mr. McCourt.
"In my opinion the words 'Collier's, the
National Weekly,' do not constitute
advertising, but are merely the title
to the publication. They are a term
of identification, and rot an adver
tisement, any more than is tne uue
line on our daily papers. Therefore I
don't think District Attorney Cameron
is right in ordering the magazine not
to be sold."
