THE Coterie held an interesting
meeting in. the Hotel Benson yes
terday morning. Mrs. G. H. Husted
read a paper on the "Boy aoid Girl
Problem and music was provided by
Mrs. A. B- Davis and Mrs. E. E. Coov-
ert. Judge Gatens spoke on the
Juvenile Court and some features re
lating to its work. In part he said:
The State Federation of Women's Clubs
recently adopted a report ursine that the
Judge of the Juvenile Court should have
no authority, after having committed, a
child to an institution, to revoke such com
mitment. Their recsons for taking such
power from the Judge are as follows:
'Tho child Is never taken from its par
ents unless the parents are found delin
quent; the child la placed in a rood home;
h.e learns to love his parents and they to
love him; after a time the parents turn
over a new leaf and appeal to the Judge
to revoke the commitment; new ties are
broken and the whole tenor of his life Is
disturbed. .
This looks good in print and seems rea
sonable. Just on the face of it. However,
the Juvenile Court records prove this state
ment to be untrue. The larger percentage of
children are sent to institutions because of
dependency rather than delinquency. These
parents are good and love their children,
but are unable to care for them because of
poverty, or because of the death of the
father or the mother. Perhaps it is the
father, who, on account of the mother's
death, is temporarily unable to jroperly care
tor nis iovea ones, out wnen tie nas Bet
tered his condition, by marriage or other
means, should he not regain possession of
his child? Not if the heads t some in
stitutions have their way.
When a child is permanently committed
to such an Institution and given out for
adoption, it Is forever lost sight of by its
parents, brothers and sisters and all blood
relations.
Let me cite an instance. About four
years ago a woman of the underworld, liv
ing in the North End of this city, was
before the Juvenile Court flffhtinsr for her
child. She had placed the child in a good
raraiiy and was paying lor its Keeping. n
was suggested that the court take her child
from her permanently. When the mother
came before me she said if I would not
take the child away from her she would
turn over a new leaf, would leave such a
life and would devote the res of her life
to her child. That woman did leave the
North End to make an honorable living and
today Is married and living a respectable
life. The thought of losing her child for
ever was the means of causing her to re
form.
Judge Gatens then cited other in
stances and explained the findings of
the Hotchkiss committee in Chicago.
He concluded with a short talk on the
status of illegitimate children, saying:
I believe the law which requires that the
woman bear the burden of all the disgrace
Is unjust from every point of view. In the
first place, it recognizes the double standard
of morality; thon, again. It does not equal
ize the burden of responsibility.
In many European countries there are
laws for the protection of Illegitimate chil
dren, with a view of giving them a fair
chance in lif9 and to legalize it.
What we need in Oregon is a law to
compel the fathers of Illegitimate children
to do their part toward securing the fu
ture of such children. I would suggest a
law to compel marriage, and where the
man refuses, the court to declare them hus
band and wife, and by the same decree
grant the woman a divorce he to pay some
thing toward the support of the child, thus
legalizing It.
Why should the father escape all respon
slMlity? The various women's oYganizations in the
state should see that ome law is enacted
to protect the illegitimate child, so as to
remove, as far as possible, the many ob
stacles now thrown in Its way by many
people ...

Nominee and Mrs. Booth. Beloved

gonian unsolicited from a grateful
woman, now of Portland:
"I have read that some persons ob
ject to Senator Booth's nomination for
United States Senator on the ground
that he is not a friend of the laboring
man. I beg to differ with them. I have
been situated so that I could see Mr.
Booth's life In his home as a husband,
father, son and brother. Never was
there or will there be a more con
scientious man in hia true love and de
votion. "And about his men who work for
him. I have been in his camps, my
husband working under him, as well
as myself. Perhaps none of us received
as much wages as we wanted, but we
felt Mr. Booth was paying us as well
as any one else was paying for similar
work.
'I have known him to help widows
and orphans, and you never read a
big write-up about it, 'either. He did
it from his inmost heart. I was a
widow myself years ago, and he and
his. wife, whom he always confides in.
came to me and said: 'If ever you are
in real want, let us know. If you can
not educate your boy, we will, if you
only ask us.'
'So at one time I needed $50. I wrote
them and received it by return mail,
and they never expected any favors
in return. It came from their big, gen
erous hearts. They never let their left
hand know what their right hand doeth
in helping destitute people who are
worthy.
"I sincerely believe Robert Booth
never bought any timber land In any
way only that he thought was right.
and as any other man would have done
if he had had the same chance. This
land, the- way I understand it, was
seemingly of value only for timber, and
the timber was of no use to the people
who took it up, as they could not go
to the expense of hauling the logs to
the mills. So consequently they sold
the land to the Booth-Ivelly Lumber
Company. I am sure Mr. Booth will be
the workingman's friend and work for
nis interest.

BOOTH CHILDREN'S FRIEND
Candidate for Senate Pledged to
Protect Them and Aid Schools.
"In our children we have our great
est asset and our highest hopes," says
the platform of Robert A. Booth, Re
publican nominee for the United States
Senate. "To them we pledge unfaiter
ing Interest and generous action for
their protection and education.
One of the chief characteristics of
Mr. Booth's life is his interest in the
welfare of children. Throughout his
private and public career he has done
much to provide modern education for
the boys and girls. Tears before he
became a candidate for Senator he was
a liberal contributor to various schools
and universities in the state, and has
assisted scores of students, in a finan
ctal way, to complete their collegw
training.
He has taken an advanced stand
against child labor as it is practiced in
many of the Southern states. In re
peated utterances he has pledged his
conduct, if he is elected to the Senate,
in the inteerst of the home.
In this connection he has assumed a
determined attitude in favor of better
schools, better roads and a better sys
tern of rural credits in the agricultural
districts, so that children of farmers
may have all the opportunities of im
proving their conditions as possessed
by children living in the cities.
IT IS said that Robert A. Booth has
never denied a worthy appeal for
aid or charity. His life has been so
exemplary and his devotion to every
duty of citizenship so earnest and sin
cere that his tonswpeople of Eugene
have risen almost to a man or woman
to support his candidacy for United
States Senator.

That many people are slaves to tea
and coffee appears from a statement
of Dr. C. J. Douglass, of Dorchester,
Mass. "They do not distinguish the dif
ference between drugs and food in their
effect on the system.
"There is no substitute for an en
slaving drug. When the effect of one
dose has worn off, another dose of the
same drug must be taken or discomfort
follows, but if nutrition Is wanted, a
hundred different foods will supply the
demand with equally satisfactory re
sults. "Tea and coffee are never taken be
cause of any small nutritive element
they may contain. Some drink them in
small quantities merely because the
taste is agreeable, or to wash down
solid food.
"On the other hand, if a sufficient
quantity is habitually taken, so that
when they are discontinued uncomfort
able symptoms follow, then it is evi
dent that a drug habit has been 'formed.
"If, for example, a person habitually
drinks so much coffee for breakfast
that on omitting it he 'misses some
thing during the forenoon, he may be
set down as an excessive coffee drinker.
He is relying on the stimulation of the
drug,' caffeine, and the daily use of any
drug for such a purpose is injurious."
