11. B. Miller, who originally announced
himself as a candidate, withdrew from
the race on aceount of his health.
Certain provisions of the free-textbook
measure have Inspired a vigorous
opposition against It.
,The measure, If passed, will make It
obligatory upon the School Board to
purchase books for the pupils In the
private and parochial schools not
under Its control, as well as for the
pupils In the public schools. It is esti
mated that the initial purchase of such
books would cost the taxpayers In the
nelgrhbornod of J100.00X
Another serious objection that has
been entered against it is that inter
change of the same boks among- pupils
year after year would be a, (actor in
spreading disease.
Grange Is Opposed.
After a discussion of the free-textbook,
measure Saturday night the
Woodjawn Orange- expressed its Bentl-
merit as strongly opposed to the meas
ure on the ground that it is un
American, "While I have a positive Individual
opinion on the question, I believe the
textbook matter is one which the vot
ers should decide," said Thad W. Vree
land, one of the candidates, vesterdav
"As I understand the matter, the
directors are not to have any eDtion."
"Common Justice demands that at
least one of the five sohool directors
snouid be a woman," said Dr. L. Vic
torla. Hampton, another candidate yes
terday, "We have 790 women teach
ers. as well as mothers of the pupils
and the girl students, who have no
representation on the School Board.
"A vote for free textbooks tomorrow
is a vote for an increase of taxes and
of doctor bills, and it is a vote fer the
. spread of the great white plague and
en otner infectious and contagious dis
eases."
"I am absolutely opposed to free
textbooks being supplied by the nubile
to schools of any particular sect or
ereed," said Dr. Alan Welch Smith last
night. "The expense is one thine to
consider and the unsanitary effect of
rree textbooks another quite as im
portant. It is impossible to sterilize
BOOKS.'

The most popular girls, the leaders, In

"This swinging of the pendulum is
not due to the lecturings of teachers,

shall come forth in flower and fruit.

faster )t First Presbyterian Church
Pays He Hates ta Sea Religious
Strife Thrust V'poa Us,
The Rev. John H. Boyd, of the First
Presbyterian Church, in speaking last
night of "Impressions mra a Seven-Thousand-Mile
Journey," dwelt upon
the wonderful significance of our. court
try's position and history. He declared
that there was evidently a mission for
civilisation in our development, and set
forth the three requisites for fulfilling
our National destiny. One of these and
the most important was the mainte
nance of the unity of our population.
(n thought, spirit and social ideals. On
this subject he said, in part:
"All elements of our population must
be fused into a. single, indivisible
Americanism.
"The question whether free text.
books should be supplied to our chll
dren is a simple one, which can be
clearly seen and should be decided upon
its ntrlns!o values. But whether,
when this sohool district has voted for
suoh free books, that those books should
also be available for the use of all
private schools in this district is evl
dently a religious and sectarian ques
tion loaded with all the sad possibilities
of bitter controversy and eoclal dls
cord.
"It can mean nothing else than that
some boqy or some influence is aim
ing to secure a subsidy for the Roman
Catholic schools from the publlo
through the channels of state taxation.
"Now, I don't want to be led into a
quarrel with the Roman church. I don
want to differ from niy Roman Catholic
friend and neighbor, I deplore what
ever alienates my mind and sympathy
from any fellow-man, but if this pro
vision. is carried along with the law
and if its privileges are sought by the
paroohtal schools, then it will force mul
titudes of peace-loving citizens with
pained hearts grieving over passions
engendered and friendships endangered
to resist by all means available the in
terferenes of the Roman hierarchy in
the affairs of tha state to the injury
of a school system with which they
are out er sympatny.
"I sincerely hope that the election
tomorrow may prove the alertness of
the cltlsen to protect our American life
against influences which destroy the
unities of our social conditions."

er. made a talk on the subject, in
which he opposed the principle of free
text books, and pointed out the danger
of this proposition. Frank Peters and
Mrs. S. E. Windlo opposed the plan.
Mrs. Wtndle said that in Portland,
where children are too poor to buy
their books, the Board of Education
purchases what books are needed,
and spends now as much money as may
be needed for that purpose. Sho pointed
out that the real Intent of the free
text book proposition, which la to fur
nish books to those who need them, is
now being carried out in the .Portland
district, and that the free text book
proposition would simply add so much
burden to the taxpayers, without cor
responding benefits.
George S. Shepherd addressed the
Grange, pointing out the need of a deep
channel to the mouth of the Columbia
River. He spoke also on the interstate
bridge, and told what it will bring to
Portland and ' the state. A musical
programme was rendered, closing with
a reading by W. H. H. Dufur.
At the meeting of Lents Grange, Sat
urday afternoon. Ii A. Darnall and
several others spoke against free text
books, and voters were urged to vote
against the plan at the election. Of
nearly a dozen speakers who talked
on the proposition, all opposed the
measure.
