"Selec tions From the Bible for the Public Schools," be introduced for reading in the Portland schools. Nearly a score spoke in favor of the adoption, while H. C. Uthoff, secretary of the Portland Rationalist Society, op posed the adoption. He declared that the reading of the Bible in the public schools would be unconstitutional and unjust, and challenged the ministers to establish any connection between mor ality and religion. The following committee presented the petition: Rev. J. R. Knowdell, of Laurelwood Congregational Church, chairman; Rev. L. K. Richardson, of the Kenilworth Presbyterian Church, secretary; Rev. John H. Boyd, of the Kirst Presbyterian Church: Rev. George p Hopkins, -of the Patton Methodist Episcopal Church; Rev. John M. Low den, of the Hassalo-Street Congrega tional Church: O. C. Wright, of the Baptist Church Extension Society; Rev. J. B. Snyder, of the Piedmont Presby terian Church; Rev. S. K. Hawkins, of the Central Christian Church, and Rev. Luther R. Dyott, of the First Congre gational Church. in addition to committee members several others, including the following, spoke in favor of introducing the Bible readings into the schools: Rev. Max well Hall, of the First Christian Church: Mrs. J. S. Dale. Rev. Boudinot Seeley, of the Rose City Park Presbyterian Church; Professor Norman Coleman, of Reed College, and Rev. William S Spriggs, of the Arleta Baptist Church. All Srcts Should Join, He Says. . "We are not urging this book for the purpose of forcing the Bible upon any one and we positively are not in sym pathy with sectarianism," said Dr. Liyott. "This book should be indorsed by Roman Catholics and the Hebrews as well as by the Protestants. It is impossible to tind any one book that will do more to build up the minds of the pupils in an acceptable way than will the Bible. Dr. Coleman told of his experience in schools where the Bible was read and studied. "There is no literature that ap proaches life so simply and so directly and on such common grounds as the Bible. In the schools where within my knowledge it has been taught before children of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths, absolutely no sectarian feeling crept in and not a breath of criticism ever came to me, either from the Board or from the parents. To it was traceable a marked decrease in - profanity and coarseness and a Us tinct elevation of moral tone among the pupils. It should be approached with an open mind, without any spirit of hostility, and should be handled very carefully to avoid any possibility of dead, mechanical treatment." Mr. Uthoff said that he represented 500 or 600 people in the contention tha the reading of the Bible in the public schools was contrary to the American spirit, us laid down by Washington and Jefferson that the state and church should remain separated. He declared that the Ten Commandments were not applicable in modern times. "Why not as well give them readings from the book of the Mormons, of the writings of Confucious or Robert G. Ingersoll?" Those remarks were attacked by sev eral speakers, who showed that th Bible was distinctly American, that it is used constantly in. the courts, tha Congress is opened every day with prayer and that three-fourths of th states use the Bible in one form or an other. The speakers declared tha some knowledge of the Bible was es sential to citizenship and morality. Rev. William T. S. Spriggs. of the Arleta Baptist Church, quoted figures showing that it had been decided lawful in 10 states and that it has long been used in many others where the matter has never been jtested in the courts. lie declared that It was not a religious book or a church book, necessarily, but a book belonging all of the people. Presidents Wilson, tirant and Cleveland were quoted establishing this view. "It is a crime to have a Juvenll Court to condemn children when we do not educate them in matters of i morality," he said. 150,000 Signers Claimed, It was announced that the feeling favorable to the introduction of Bible readings in the si-hools was so strong that a petition signed by 150,000 Port land people could be secured, if de sired, and if necessary to the adoption. "1 challenge any minister to & de bate, either on the platform or in the press, to show that there is any con nection between morality and relig ion," shouted Mr. Uthoff. "It is abso lutely untrue that morality depends in any way upon redigion." The committee of the School Bqard took the matter under advisement and will make its recommendation to the creneral board at a later time. The book urged for adoption was compiled by the Chicago - Women's Educational Union and is declared to be strictly non-sectarian in its treatment. Olcott ruled that he couldn't legally withdraw nor have his name stricken from the baUpt. having once filed his nominating petition, thinks Mr. Olcott is mistaken in his interpretation of the law. Mr. Jacobson points to section 3343, of Lord's Oregon Laws, which provides how, after having been nominated. candidate may withdraw by giving his reasons in a signed affidavit. He dis cussed this statute with Attorney-Gen-! eral Crawford, who ..agreed that he could withdraw, says Mr. Jacobson. "I think this section has been over looked by Secretary Olcott," Mr. Jacob son explained yesterday. "I had it in mind when I withdrew, for I remem bered how George N. Davis and W. A, Carter, in 1912, a few days before the primary election, withdrew in favor of alter A Evans as candidates for the Republican nomination for District At torney of Multnomah County. Their ithdrawals were accepted by the faec- etary of State. In his nominating petition a candi date must declare, it ia true, that he ill not withdraw if nominated, but this section of the law in question learly provides that he may withdraw by giving his reasons therefor. In my however, I hadn t even got the omination. I was not a party candi date. And having complied with the requirements of this section, I think 1 av-e a clear legal right to withdraw." The section referred to by Mr. Ja- ooson reads: Any person who has een nominated and accepted some omination, as provided in this act, may cause his name to be withdrawn from omination at any time prior to the election by writing declining the nomination, stating the reason, signed and acknowledged by him before some I partment No. 1, and Dr. F. H. committeeman good Repub lican for many years. Mr. Ackerson was a Republic." n at the Chicago con vention on January 8, became a Pro gressive for the Progressive conven tion on March 14 and then became I Republican again last March in time to run for National committeeman. "In the interim he signed tbe nomi nating petition of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, candidate for Progressiva Na tional committeeman. A man who has left the party, only to return to it just one day before he files for the most im portant party office in it, should be condemned by all Republicans." "" Others to speak at the Gresham rally and also at another one in Trbutdale, the speakers going from one meeting place to the other by auto, were L. B. Barde, C. M. Hurlburt, J. G. Richard son, Conrad P. Olson, B. E. Youmans, George W. Stapleton, H. A. DarnalL D. C. Lewis, Samuel T. Richardson, Dr. Sam C. Slocum, C. N. McArthur and Guy R. McCoy for John Driscoll. John Manning, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, is devoting the closing days of the campaign to visiting every section of the county and meeting Democratic voters. Four candidates for Governor and aspirants for several other offices spoke at a meeting of Republican women in the Central Library Monday night. Dr. L. Victoria Hampton presided. The speakers included George C. Brownell, Gus C. Moser, Dr. James Withycombe and W. A. Carter, candidates for the Republican nomination - for Governor Arthur Lsngguth, candidate for State Senator; Judge- Arthur C. Dayton and Miss Li-da M. O'Bryon. candidates for Judge of the District Court, "Depart ment No. 3; E. O.

Such withdrawal may be sent by telegram 1 to the Secretary of State, through County Clerk, as provided by section 346, in the case of certificates of nom ination." Mr. Jacobson intends to go before the next meeting of election board offi cials- and explain his case to them, so that they can tell voters that No. 15 on the Republican ballot, his official number, is not a candidate. The sup port Mr. Jacobson would have had is expected to go to C. N. McArthur. A large audience of Democrats heard an-address by Judge A. S. Bennett, can didate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, at the Central Library Tuesday night. C. E. S.- Wood presided In introducing Judge Bennett, Mr. Wood referred to him as a man of ster ing worth as a citizen and of distin guished attainments as a lawyer. He declared him to be a man of the Abra ham Lincoln type, one truly of the people. Judge Bennett, in his address, laud ed the work of .the present Democratic Administration. He declared that no Administration In the history of the country has accomplished so much in so short a time. If elected Governor, Judge Bennett promised that he would meet every question of state with fair and open mind and that he would bring to bear on its solution the very best that was in him. He emphasized that he had no promise to make of any specific reform, but that he would do his best to reduce the cost of govern ment and to make taxation lighter. With respect to law enforcement. Judge Bennett said that he would rigidly enforce every law on the statute books, but that he would enforce them according to law. There are two Hurlburts, both candl dates for Republican nominations, on the Republican primary ballot. One is T. M. Hurlburt, candidate for Sheriff, and the other, C. M, Hurlburt, candidate for Joint Representative from Multno man and Clackamas Counties. Fred A. Frischkorn, candidate for the Republican nomination for Constable, has been doing some active campaign work. Mr. Frischkorn is just conclud ing a canvass of the various carbarns. He is also campaigning in the Mount Scott district- He recently spoke at Alberta before the Hebrew Good Gov ernment Club, in Woodstock, and be fore labor unions. "Who can have faith in a man who changes his political faith over night and on the next day blossoms out as a candidate for office in his new party?" said E. L. Amidon, member of the ex ecutive committee of J.he Lincoln Re publican Club, discussing the candida cies of Ralph E. Williams and C. W. Dammasch, candidate for Coroner. Completing his last trip away from Portland before the primary, R. A. Booth, Republican candidate for United States Senator, returned to Portland yesterday from a visit to The Dalles and Hood River. At both places, Mr. Booth said, he found the impression strong, as it has been everywhere else he has gone in the stae, that this Is to be a Republican year in Oregon. He came in personal contact with largo numbers of voters and expresses ap preciation for the cordial support be ing accorded his candidacy in both cities. Speakers at a Democratic rally In Gresham Monday night included A. F. Flegel and Elof T. Hedlund, candidates for the Democratic nomination for Representative in Congress, and Alva McDonald. Democratic candidate for the Legislature. Dr. Hedlund. also spoke at a rally in Northeast Portland last night. At two meetings Tuesday night. Charles A. Johns expounded the "re duce taxes, cut expenses, abolish com missions" gospel on which he is mak ing his campaign for the Republican nomination for Governor. Mr. Johns spoke first at the Woodlawn moving- picture theater and Irom there went to the Ockley Green "movie" house. I do not expect the support of state employes whose jobs depend on the continuation of useless state boards and commissions." said Mr. Johns. These unnecessary burdens to the tax payers are my natural enemies. I an ticipated their opposition from the be ginning of the campaign. The fight being waged against my nomination, however, will not cause me to retract one word of the platform to which I have signed my name. That platform means exactly what it says, and I am asking only for the votes of those who believe in what I have promised." After reviewing briefly his early life and the pioneer days In Oregon, Mr. Johns urged his hearers to nominate suostantiai RepuDucan ticket, men who carry the state over the strongest candidates the Democrats can pro duce. "I promise an economic, efficient, honest business administration," he added. "I promise to administer the affairs of the State of Oregon as I would conduct my own private busi ness. Any business conducted as busi ness of this state has been conducted would become oanarupt within six months." - Mr. Johns will address two meetings to be held under the auspices of tbe Lincoln Republican Club tonight. United support of the candidacy of R. A. Booth as United States Senator. and nomination of a strong Republican ticket for all offices was urged Tues day night by D. C. Lewis, one of the 11 men asked by citizens -to run for the lower house of the Legislature from Multnomah County, at a Republican meeting in room A, of the Central Li- Slow Progress Being Made by Sen ators In Debate- Indicates Vote Will Not Be Reached for Perhaps Two "Weeks. WASHINGTON. May 13. It became aparent yesterday that the Senate can-J not reach a vote on the proposed re peal of the tolls exemption clause of the Panama Canal act for at least 10 days or two weeks, unless Democratic leaders make an extraordinary effort to speed up the procedings. Under the present speaking each day, action on the repeal bill is still some distance in the future. In the three hours it gave to tolls yesterday the Senate listened to a speech by Senator Hoke Smith, who favors re peal, and to a debate between Senators Borah' and Williams over regulations governing the Welland Canal, which led to a dispute between the United States and Great Britain several years ago. Welland Canal In British Control. Senator Borah contended that Great Britain had not to this day yielded its Interpretation of the treaty governing the Welland Canal, but had with drawn its discrimination against United States commerce merely as a matter of business to protect Its own commerce from retaliatory measures taken on the part of the United States. He said tbe contention of Great Britain at the time that the treaty enabled it to discriminate was still on file in the State Department, unaltered In a single sellable. Borah denounced Canada's attempted bad faith in the Welland Canal inci dent as a sort of defense for the same action on the part of the United States in the Panama Canal incident. Part of Sovereignty Surrendered. Senator Williams agreed with Sen ator Sutherland that the United States could not pay the tolls of its own com mercial vessels. 'So we surrendered just as much at our sovereignty! suggested fcenaior Borah. There never was a treaty entered nto where a nation did not surrendez natural right," replied benator Will iams. "You speak of the canal as it you had a fee simple title to it, while as a matter of Tact tne very deed by which we got the canal here the deed was a treaty was full of conditions. We surrendered part of our sover eignty, yes, but not in the sense that you seek to make the American people believe we surrendered our sovereignty. We have surrendered none of our independence." Yet we surrendered part or our sov ereignty over about the most impor tant part of our territory we possess. Senator Borah replied RUBBER .tm mm BATHING lpS3 .

Queen Elena is the guardian angel of all things and all people in Italy who count for sanita tion and is the Nemesis of those that on't- As the result of a recent inves tigation by the Queen certain phases of Italian life are -undergoing the most strenuous prophllactic regeneration in their history. Previous to becoming Queen of Italy, Elena was merely a princess of Monte negro, daughter of King Nicholas, who holds court under the trees in front of the royal nalace and who receives per sonally anybody and everybody wno has need to see him, from the street- sweeners of Cetinge to the AmDassa dors of the leading power. As a girl. Queen Elena acquired the same demo cratic Qualities. She played wnn me other cirls of the Montenegran capital, distributed her charities to the poor in person and went about tne streets un hampered by any traditions of customs of royalty. As Queen of Italv. Elena nasn t Deen able to remain faithful to all of this early training, but she has hung onto as much of it as she could and at Rome she still "drops around to visit and inspect the most unheard-of places without letting anyone know in ad vance that she is cominff. This not only serves to remind her of her informal girlhood days at Cetinge, and saves he all the agonixing ceremonies and prep arations that follow a pre-announced visit, but it also gives her the oppor tunitv of knowing actual conditions.. Recently the Queen dropped in. In this Informal way, on a sanatorium and school for tubercular children. -It was an institution that had been founded under the patronage of the Queen, was supported by her and bore the impres slve name of "Colonica School of Queen Elena" A look around at the sanitary conditions left the Queen in some doubt as to whether she wasn't doing: the ba bies more harm than good by allowing them to be sent there. She said nothing to the obsequious director, however, but half an hour after her departure a master of cere monies from the Quirinal drove up to the school with a great deal more ceremony than that which had pre ceded the arrival of the Queen's auto. He notified the director that in the future the school wouldn't be known as that "of Queen Elena.
