The prisoner, the insane and the imbecile, the defective child when In school, as well as the delinquent and dependent children, by courts removed from natural parents, are wards of the state and therefore being mothered by Oregon. The state prisoners, as we know them, will sbon pass away. Never should Oregon depend on a person be inir o imbecile or insane that he does not know kindness," the speaker said. "These two classes -need custodian care, hut for all others every institution should be an educational one. There's wonderful stuff in every human being. ior it, treasure It, mother it. Mm. UerlinKer Heard. Mrs. Geore-e T. Gerlinger. of Dallas ' whose subject was "The Value of a University Education," spoke in behalf or the schools of Oregon.

Alva Lee Stephens, president or me i-oruand Parent-Teacher Asso ciation, addressed the convention on the work of the Juvenile Court. In part she said: -- . "The business of each generation is to train the young of the next gen eration, therefore the parent-teacher organizations are fully cognizant of the importance of rearing children so that our future citizenship may be worthy of the ideals of true American man- Hood and womanhood, it is our diuy to ee to it that the children of today are safeguarded, directed an protected along the right road toward the ideal of American citizenship." The idea Mrs. Stephens clinched. wan that of taking the Juvenile Court out of politics and establishing in its stead a bureau of juvenile and domestic re lations, presided over by a competent board.

Case of Breweries Pushed Forward as Other, Actions Could Not Be Heard In Regular Order Be fore Prohibition Ijimit. Li-MPIA, Wash.. Oct. 21. (Special.) With the filing by the legal firm of Piles, Howe c Carey of a brief in the M. & K. Gottstein case, as "friends of the court," all interests directly affected by the prohibition law with the excep tion of the cortsumer are represented in this suit, attacking the validity of the new . statute, which will be taken up before the SujJreme Court tomorrow. Wholesalers, acting in concert with saloon interests, brought the acxion. represented by Attorneys Harold Pres ton and George Donworth. The Hotel- men s Association, comprising owners of hotels and cafes, represented by Attorney Dudley G. Wooten, intervened. Brewery interests were not directly interested in the suit. After the Gott stein case was lost in the Superior Court the breweries, represented by Piles, Howe & Carey, started a suit of their own in the name of the Olympla Brewing Company, attacking the law on new grounds. It became apparent, however, that this suit could not pos sibly be heard by the Supreme Court before January 1, wher prohibition is due to become effective- Accordingly Piles, Howe & -Carey were granted per mission by the Supreme Court to file a brief as amici curiae and this brief, just tiled, sets forth the same conten tions advanced in the Olympla Brewing Company, case, which is being held in abeyance in the lower court and prob ably will not come up for trial. The privilege of being a friend of the court does not carry with it the right to address the court in oral argu ment, extended only to original parties to the action and intervenors, so the contentions of the breweries will be advanced only by brief. The chief, points urged against the prohibition law are based on the argu ment that the initiative and referen dum amendment was not adopted, be cause constitutional publicity require ments were not followed strictly, and that the prohibition law itself was not legally adopted,' because copies of the law were placed in the hands of voters less than 65 days before the election. With the exception of Judge Herman D. Crow, who is dangerously ill in a local hospital, a full bench will hear the arguments. CRUISE PAYMENT OPPOSED County- Commisloners Adopt IIcsolu- tions Over Idaho Timber Tract. ORO F1NO, Idaho, Oct. 21. (Special.) A sensation was caused here when the Board of County Commissioners at its last meeting adopted a resolution declaring the intention of resisting the payment of Interest and principal of the $44;OJ0 of warrants issued last year in payment of the timber cruise made by the M. C. Ne'ase Timber. Cruising Company, of Portland, Or. It is contended - that the " contract under which the cruise was made was void and of no effect; that the County Commissioners exceeded their authority, and that the payments already made on account of the cruise were illegal. About 400,000 acres were cruised and the bill was approximately $64,000. Of this amount the Commissioners paid in cash $20,000 and issued warrants for the remaining sum.
