Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXiyQ OREGOyiAN'. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1915. COUNCIL IS DESIRED Worth Portland Residents Ob ject to City Commission. SOME ADVOCATE MANAGER Resolutions Adopted at Meeting in Old Conch School Charge Ex- j travagance "Older Present System of Administration. People living- In the vicinity of the old Couch School at Seventeenth and Lovejoy streets expressed disapproval of the present eystem of conducting the municipal government at a meeting- held Thursday night. A group of them pot together in the echoolhouse and listened to George S. Shepherd explain a proposed represen tative form of charter with the party politics left out, and adopted resolu tions indorsing the plan. S. H. Gruber presided. E. Pender acted as secretary. A lively discussion was indulged in by a dozen or more of those in attendance. After adopting the resolutions the meeting arranged for the appointment of a committee to promote the senti ment of a new form of government in other parts of the city. Another meet ing will be held next week, at which this committee will be appointed. Other Office Elective Mr. Shepherd was the principal speaker. He explained that his pro posed system provides for a Uayor with a salary of $4000 a year and 11 Council men, representing the various wards, with salaries at $1000 a year each. The councihnen will not be required to give all their time to municipal affairs. The Alayor will. The City Treasurer, Municipal Judge, Auditor and City Attorney are to be elected by the people. No party desig nation shall appear on the ballot. Others speakers heartily indorsed the idea of continuing the city government free from party politics. Mr. Shepherd emphasized the In creased cost of the present system con trasted with the old form of govern ment. A number of speakers were favorable to a city manager plan, as proposed by S. Benson. Extravagance Is Charged. Following Mr. Shepherd's speech the following resolutions were passed? Whereas, Our' city government appears to be unable to carry on the administration of Its affairs without creating: new and useless offices, raisin? salaries and running our city Into debt, thereby placing an almost un bearable taxation on the Industrious ana frugal; and Just so long as our commission lorra of government is tolerated, just so long will the burdens of taxation increase and fall on thoB who are least able to pay, and who are striving to meet the ever-exacting de mand of municipal expenses In upholding this form of government in its wasteful and extravagant method and operation of pub lic affairs. We believe in the fundamental principles of a representative government; a government of, by and for the people, and are opposed to a duplication of Mayors and other officials without head or monumental methods; therefore, be It Resolved, That we are opposed to the prefiont high and exorbitant system and of ficial recruiting methods employed and now prevailing and forming the major part of our present city' administration; and be it turther Resolved, That we favor a representative Instead of a commission form of government, with a city charter guarding against this wasteful and extravagant use of the peo ples money, and to that end and purpose we appeal to all good citizens as well as taxpayers, for an Immediate change of our present city government and administration.

RECORD HOMING PIGEONS Present Flight World Champion Is an. Indiana Bird. (Harper's Magazine.) The present world champion is Bul let D-1872, owned ty O. W. Anderson, of Fort Wayne. Indiana The bird was fcttcked Iu 1909. When four and a half months of age. training was begun. She was taken first two. then five, eight, fifteen, twenty-five, forty, and then seventy-five miles away and al lowed to return. (This training was distributed, of course, over several weeks.) She was then entered in the one-hundred and two-hundred-mile races. In 1910 she was again given the above preliminary training races, and allowed to compete in the two-hundred, three-hundred, four-hundred and five-hundred-mile races. In 1911 and 1912 she waa given the same amount of training. In 1913, after the prelimin ary mgnts, she won the two-hundred, and the five-hundred-mile races, flying the five-hundred-mile race in about eleven hours. Shortly after this flight the bird was sent to Abiline, Texas, one thousand and ten miles (air line meas ure) from. Fort Wayne. The bird was liberated at 4:30 A. M.,' July 11, 1913. and homed at 4 P. M., July 12, the flying time being one day, eleven hours, thirty minutes and six seconds. In this same race a bird belonging to Mr. John Schilling homed at 11:30 A. M. the following day (July 13), and a third bild, belonging to F. Nahrwald, a half-hour later. All of the above races were flown under the rules of the American Racing Pigeon Union. The best previous record for one thou sand miles was made by a pigeon be longing to H. Beech, of Fort Wayne, in 1912, the time being two days, nine hours and some odd minutes. And this record lowered the time made In 1910 by a bird belonging to L. Gebfert, of the same city, this time being three days, eleven hours and some odd min utes. Such -records will probably never be beaten except by happy com binations of strong favorable wind and clear, warm weather. BENNETT OFF FOR BOUT PORTLAND BANTAMWEIGHT IS TO MEET TEX VER.NOJ? MONDAY.

EMPLOYES .ON TRIP 0.-W. R. & M. Force Takes ' Ride on Steamship Beaver. BANDS PLAY ON DECKS More than 900, Including Officers and First Woman Ticket Agent, on Excursion to St. Helens. Newspaper Is "Published. Music of bagpipes of Scotland en livened the O.-W. R. & N. Employes' Club river party on board the steamship Beaver Thursday night. With a happy assemblage of 99S persons on board the boat left the Alnsworth dock at :4o o ciock, going as far as St. Helens and returning about midnight. A potent factor in the success of the affair was the O.-W. R. & N. Employes' band which, under the direction of S. E. Westover, gave a concert, first in front of the company's general office in Portland, then at the Ainsworth dock and all during the trip. J. D. Farrell. president of the company, gave the Employes' Club the use of the boat and the crew. Dancers Use All Declts. On every deck there were dancers and music In the social hall splendid vocal and Instrumental solos, mingled with conversation and merriment, made evident the festival spirit. The popu lar piper, whose bagpipes were one of the most happy features of the party, was J. H. MacDonald in full costume. Blllio Southerland entertained the guests with the "sword dance" and a number of interesting Scotch dances. Refreshments were served in the dining-room by the regular Beaver force. Candy booths for the club benefit were maintained by W. M. Abel and the fol lowing 15 young women, who were stationed in purple and white draped stalls: The Misses Lena Krieerer. Mil dred Worden, Esther De Groat, Bessie Kitchie, Laun Hall, Mollle Repp, Helen Keller. Bessie Sawyer. Lilah Clarke. Gladys Genmell, Mary Dahl, Cencil Murphy, Mrs. A. .Kinard and Mrs. JT. Malcolm. Many Notables Aboard. . One of the most enthusiastic excur sionists on board was Miss Estelle Mac Cauley, the first woman ticket agent of the United States. Other notable per sons present were w. 13. wells, agent of the San Francisco & Portland Steam ship Company; H. M. Watkins, presi dent of the O.-W. K. & N. Employes' Club; A. C. Jackson, advertising man ager ard Mrs. Jackson; John Scott Mills, ec'.itor of the Pacific Semaphore, and Mrs. Mills; Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Gregory, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Me Math, General Passenger Agent Will iam MeMurray and daughter, Agnes, and S. E. Westover. A special edition of the Ocean Wire less News was gotten out for the ex cursion. The first suggestion was. "Now that we are all here, let's make this a night of nights and a time of times," and every excursionist adopted the slogan. They took possession of the entire steamer. Captain E. W. Mason and Purser H. Eddlngs thought they were in charge, but before the boat pro ceeded Deyond the city limits they found out they were mistaken. The passengers owned the boat. Every of ficer of that boat placed himself at the disposal of the club members and their friends. - resides i-resiaent J. u. a arreii, a gen eral committee Is responsible for the success of the excursion. Members of the committee are: General chairman, George W. McMath; W. D. Wells, Cur. tis G. Sutherland. Harold West, S. E, Westover, W. M. Abel and F. T. Greg ory. Additional to these were all the committeemen of the Employes' Club, who assisted the heads. The return was made by moonlight, with the music of the band, song and dance still continuing. FARM ACCOUNTANCY URGED Dollar for Blank: Book and Safe Investments. a Pen Saturday Evening: Post, The Department of Agriculture puts the value of the chief necessaries of life consumed by an average farm fam ily each year at a little under $600; but over $400 worth of these necessaries is contributed by the farm itself, leaving only $X74 worth to be purchased by the farmer. That suggests one difficulty with the average farm bookkeeping:: It consists of only a cash account. A good many farmers- can tell, with approximate accuracy, how much money they re ceived and paid out during a year. The number that have even an approximate notion of the value of articles con sumed on the farm is much smaller. "1 got so much for my hogs," a farmer may tell you; but if you ask what he might have got for the feed they con sumed he answers: "Oh, I raised that myself.' ' And there are still many more farm ers who have no clear notion as to how much caeh they received and disbursed. They know only howmuch they have left at the end of the year. In farming, as much as in banking and railroading, good bookkeeping is the foundation of real economy and efficiency. Stuffing $8 worth of corn into a pigskin and selling it for $7.50 is certainly not profitable. A great amount of money is lost yearly in milch cows simply because the owners do not know what each quart of cream they sell hai actually cost them. A proper but very simple set of books would show at once which cows yielded a profit and which were merely perambulatory corncribs. A dollar invested in a blank book and a pen would be the best invest ment many farmers could make. GILBERT CHASE SUICIDE Former Seaman in Xavjr, Despond- cnt. Takes Own Life. Gilbert Chase, . formerly a seaman in the United States Navy, committed suicide at 10:30 o'clock Thursday night by shooting himself through the head in hus room at 61 North Third street. The man lived over Stipe Brothers' gro cery store, where he had been em ployed two years. Chase was about 60 years old. He told his friends he helped build the rail road across the Isthmus of Panama, In pioneer days. The suicide ia attributed to despondency. NO GUNS FOR BOY SCOUTS An Official Explains the Organiza tion Has Xo Military Purpose. New Tork Times. Colon H. Livingstone, vice-president of the ' American National Bank of Washington, came to New Tork the other day to confer -with other offi cials of the Boy Scouts of America. "A thing which surprises and dis tresses all of us," said Mr. Livingstone, is that so many persons do not under stand that there are two organizations bearing the scout name Boy Scouts of America and tie United States Boy couta. This would not be serious If tne two organizations were not so dif Cerent in character, methods and pur pose. The chief difference is that the United States Boy Scouts are avowedly military. The Drs are equipped with ?uns and drilled In armories in regular military lashlon, whereas the Boy Scouts of America do not have militarv drill and do not carry arms as part of meir equipment. "The men on our National council and its various boards and committees are agreed that it is not only dangerous to place firearms in the hands of boys 12 to 15 years, but it defeats the pur pose which evidently is in the minds of those who did it. "We in the Boy Scouts of America open to the boy the whole world of wholesome interest; the out-of-doors, trees, plants, birds, animals, the winds and stars, tides and fogs and all that is beautiful and significant in nature and Important to man and to commerce. In terpreting those fascinating things in ici-ius which ooys can understand, we fix nis Interest upon all things that are good and noble. We do not preach to the boy, but by illustration, example and his own personal experience re veal to him that he can have just as much fun doing 'good turns' to persons or animals and helping good causes as he can in mere mischief-making." MUSIC OF SOME SORT And the Soldiers Ordain What Shall Be. It Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. Though a strange oversight, no pro vision for regimental bands seems to have been made for ,the new army Kitchener is recruiting for England. Himself the embodiment of silence and lack of emotion, what the British troops might suffer through the absence of musical accessories does not seem to have occurred to him, although it ap pears his long military experience would have taught him the value of music in war. The oversight is to be remedied, it is reported, largely by nublic subscriDtion. Full bands are to be provided in some4 instances. 5ut the more frequent ar rangement is to be simply for a fife and drum corps. Anyone who has listened to the stirring melody thrown out by this combination does not need any elaboration to know the part it may play in the fighting. It is curious how the taste of the av erage soldier runs, when it comes to the music which ia to supply him In spiration by which to fight, and, per haps, die. In the Spanish-American war none of the more or less stately "Na tional hymns was in vogue. Instead, that rollicking bit of "rag," "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," furnished the "pepper" for most of the fights of consequence. In the British Boer war they used to hum, while ram ming down cannon ball, "Here's Another Lump of Sugar for the Bird" or "A Lit tle Bit Off the Top." It is said that in Jhe Far Eastern war the Russians did some of their best fighting to the tune of a nondescript ballad, the substance of which was a constant reiteration of "Ivan's in the Garden Picking Cab bages." What the Japs chose we do not know, but we may well imagine that when they went into battle it was to the lilt of some saucy tune rather than a dignified national "anthem." The "Tipperary" of the present war Is, of course, familiar to every one. Your Boy's Vacation.' Minneapolis Journal. What is your boy doing this Summer vacation? Has he something to do each day these three months as definite and educational as he had during the pre ceding nine school months? If not, why not? Does he need three months of undirected, aimless rest? If he is a healthy boy, he does not. Indeed, such a vacation may be demoralizing. No healthy boy needs to lie about and rest, till he must devise new entertain ment to vary the monotony of rest. This is but preparation for habitual idleness. The boy's unfitness for work at graduation is not to any great extent the fault of the school. It is the fault of his father, who was too busy with business to save his son; to lay out daily programmes and watch them done; to direct, to counsel, to command. Bringing up a boy costs time and thought and vitality. But it pays. For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and lose his own son? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his son? Objects to Word "Employe." London Globe. "Are these people servants?" inquired Mr. Mead at West London recently of an applicant for summonses under the national insurance act. The Applicant "Well" Mr. Mead "I do not like the new word 'employe,' which has been im ported into the English language. Some people think it is a French word. I do not like it. It is a bastard word and I llfce the English word 'servant' very much better. I am a servant and I am not ashamed of it. Tou are a servant, ate you not?" The Applicant "Well, I am a civil servant." Mr. Mead "That is a new kind of snobbishness." Reminiscence. Washington Star. "I can remember when we could get an idea of how an election was agoing by taking a straw vote." "We never depend on straw votes out our way. The only chance of learning which way the election was going was to discover which side had the most f2 bills." zj i ii ; 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 !i 1 1 1 ! i ; 1 1 1 1 1 1 ; e 1 1 a ; i i 1 1 1 : 1 1 1 1 1 r j V They're Here!

Moreland Particularly Good and All Handle Parta Well Author Called On for Speech. It was an appreciative audience and one which got not only something to enjoy, but to think about as well, which gathered to witness the produc tion of W. A. Wilkins' three-act com edy, "Tapping at the Door," at the Baker Theater Thursday night. The play was ut on by printers, members of the Ben Franklin Club, and was well handled. Of all the characters Moses, the Devil, played by F. L. Moreland, made the most decided hit with the crowd. His comical acts and remarks were good as was also his song, "What's the Use to Worry When You're Broke?" Tho character of Mr. Watson, a sales man, and Mr. Brown, the proprietor of a printing establishment, were the two heavy parts and were well handled by C. J. Van Blaricom and J. J. Price. . The play revealed in a realistic man ner some of the inner workings of a printing establishment and also gave some good lessons in correct business methods. When the curtain had dropped on the last act the crowd called for a talk from Mr. Wilkins, the author. Following is the cast of the play: Mr. Watson, a salesman. ,C. J.

But let me get you another, and the aforesaid proprietor took the steak, the silverware which had been served with it and departed. He soon returned with a steak which looked exactly like the first one. The young- man picked up his knife and started at his second order. "Fine! he said, as his knife cut it apart without the least effort. The- customer was pleased beyond words, and that he enjoyed the eteak was evident, for he left only the plate. As the reporter passed out he met the proprietor again, and this is what he said: "That steak was all right, but the girl made a mistake in not giving- him a sharper knife. All I did was to put the same steak on another plate and bring- him a sharp knife. You have no idea what a difference a sharp knife makes with a steak from a beef of questionable age." Your "Fanny Bone." Milwaukee Journaf. "When you bump your -nose or chin you bump the flesh and bone and not a nerve, consequently you feel a sensa tion or pain just where the blow was struck. If you strike the point of your elbow it will be just the same; it's only when you strike that little hollow be tween the big central bone of the elbow and the little inside bone that the tick ing, tingling sensation is felt. In the little hollow you strike one of the large trunk nerves which springs between the vertebrae at the base of the neck and runs through the arm to the wrist. In the hollow of the elbow the nerve lies over a bone. When you strike that spot you feel a tingling sensation which isn't exactly funny, but because it tickles the bone is called the "funny bone."
