Very little has been written sbout Portsmouth, tbe war port; for the labors and planning that bavr taken place tkera kave been muck too important, muck too Intimately bound up with the bopes and the aims of the entente al lies, to be trumpeted abroad. A ve!l of military excluaiveness has been drawn over tka fearful etreaa and turmoil of Portsmouth, hiding the nature of Its slant's tasks, the details of its multitudinous enterprises and the significance of Its achievements.

Portses, Landnort and fSoutbaea are tbe towns which Join to form tbe port and they are all located oa Portsea Island.

' The port Is defended by a powerful ring of landward forts, the Portsdown forts and the Hilsen lines, and by the Splthead forts to the seaward. The anchorage of Spithcad Is roomy enough to ride the great fleets of England, scores of boats, safe in the shelter of the Iale of Wight. Kichard I built the first town there.

COSTICT ARMY IS GREAT IDEA Mr. Haras Waxes Sareaatle Ove Mr. ratter's Military Sebeme. PORTLAND, Jan. 10. (To the Edi tor.) I read with interest the letter of Percy Cotter printed in The Oregonian Saturday. To me the most surprising part about the communication is that Mr. Cotter is actually In earnest. However, his Idea is not a new one. Our advanced neighbor to the south, Mexico, haa used convicts in . her armies for some time. The leader who rets to the prisons first has his pick. Mlltary experts say. however, that In order to keep up the courage of these convict-soldiers and to keep them on the firing line it Is necessary for their own artillery to drop a few shells be hind them once In a while to urge them, on to let . them know they have a stronir and courageous backing. I don't for a moment suppose that everyone would find that much of a drawback. I feel aura that If it became absolutely necessary there are thou sands who would. In answer to their country's call, tear themselves away from their desks and enlist in this re serve army. If the Government would but guarantee to them that they would never ba used except to shoot courage Into this convict army. The more I dwell upon It the more marvelous becomes the plan. Just think how great and generous It would be to permit our prison population to arm and defend that gsbrlous flag which we have been taught to believe stands for liberty and Justice to all. I am very sure that most of our 100.000 male convicts and all of our 0000 female convlcie believe that is Just what it does stand for. But why the expense of training these convicts In times of peace? Most of them, if not all. understand the use of firearms. It would not be necessary even to equip them with up-to-date arms and ammunition. A fair and equal distribution of gas pipe and brass knuckles and billies would make tbis army a formidable looking bunch. Then too, the Judjcs of our criminal courts. In time cf wsr. could act as staff officers or Colonels of regiments and the various prosecuting and DIs trict Attorneys would make excellent and practicable adjutants. I'll warrant there Is a host or "capsnie ana nunj men" st Malem who would Jump at tha opportunity of following Into battle lbs Judge who sentenced them. C. F. HOOAN'. Karat Credit an4 Reserve Bank.

In an editorial in The Oreg-onian December SO. an article headed "Scis sors," the editor seems to be either mis informed, uninformed or disgruntled over the sewing in our public schools. So far as the public Is concerned, and mothers in particular, I think he has struck the wrong key. for every mother I have ever talked with has spoken of the sewing In the highest terms. There is no work that is so necessary for every girl to know something sbout as sewing. . Domestic science is a good thing for mang, but there are many that will never cook a dinner, and if they do. far easier to learn than sew ing as taught In our public schools. As to "supervisors" he speaks of. he should have aaid "special teachers." who bave from 00 to (00 scholars to look after. He says they bave had no special training: He Is mistaken. They have all served apprenticeship in some shop and worked up special in some line, and until the present supervisor in tbe grammar schools, have had. to taks a special course before going into the schools. I hear that some in the last year and a half have been installed who have not been required to do this, and that several more teachers have been added, with not much greater in crease in scholars. Nov, the question comes to mo why a second supervisor of the sewing 7 Manual training, domestic science, mu sic and drawing has each only one su pervisor. If The Oresonlan is so inter ested In the taxpayers, why not dig out the expensive swimming pools and their teachers? All very nice to have, but Is it to fit our girls and boys for anything that will help them in any vocation in after years? Besides, there are both parents snd teachers who ob ject to swimming on account of caus ing too much excitement and distrac tion from lessons. Aa to the scissors mentioned, com paratively few go to the sewing classes, the manual arts and drawing classes taking the majority. The manual train ing classes have their outfits furnished, the domestic science their kitchens, and all other classes heretofore mentioned all that they require. So why this objection to the most essential work for our girls that is taught and their teachers? The special teacher has all the prob lems thst arise to settle for both teach ers and scholars. She must keep up ber stock, take care of her machines and know how with many different kinds, attend many meetings after school hours snd many things connected with the work, fihe works tbe same hours as the other teachers. She must be refined and have good Judgment. Does any similar private employment. II there be such, require an instructor to teacb over 600 or 00, taking the re sponsibility and doing the work re quired in the schools? I fancy such would draw a far higher salary. I heard a man say not long since that children should be taught to sew at home. Now, sewing in all its branches cannot bo taught at home, for how many mothers have the time or knowl edge to teach their children, never hav ing been taught themselves? This was demonstrated by the fact that a recent sewing class taught in this city had from 1200 to 1500 mothers in attend ance. Where is the child that will take the interest at home that it would at school, competing to excel with his neighbors? Children of all ages feel entitled to some recreation after school. Then comes the dinner hour in most homes. Sewing In schools is taught from models to dressmaking. I am not sending children to school , and am not a teacher. I am a taxpayer. THIMBLE, j INEFFECTIVE SECTIOJf PRESERVED How Oregon In 1000 Tried to Overrule United States Constitution. PORTLAND, Jan. 10. (To the Ed itor.) Your editorial this morning on "The Maxes of the Law" suggests the action of the people at the polls in 1900 when they refused to repeal the section of our state constitution, which pro hibits free negroes or mulattos living within the state. This section was, of course, annulled by the adoption of the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution soon after the war, but thinking the state constitution would at least look better if this section were stricken out. tha Legislature of 19S passed a repeal ing amendment as to thta section, to be submitted to the people for ratifica tion. The same proposed amendment was passed at the session of 1895. it was then ready to be submitted to the people, but the Legislature of 1897 did not organise and the amendment was not submitted until 1899. At the regular election In 1900 the proposition was passed on by the peo ple and they decided that they pre; ferred to retain the provision to ex clude free negroes and mulattos, tke vote being 19.074 lor repeal ana i,uf for its retention. So the state constitution today con tains that inhibition against our col ored population for the reason that the oeonla want it to remain. "Can you beat itr T. T.

Jan. 10. (To the Edi tor.) In recent newa dispatches "mis understanding of orders" was given as reason or cause of tne neaaon coin sion of two freight trains on the South rn Paelfla Railroad near Roseburg. How about the block signal system? Was tt not devised and intended ana expected to prevent Just such trouble? It la possible, but Is It probable that the two trains entered opposite ends of the block at exactly the same mo ment. If this was not the case, and if the signal system was working, why did not the engineer who misunder stood the meeting place see the block "set red sgalnst" him? I think some reliable and definite Information on this will be appreciated by the public, and certainly by the writer, who reads your editorial page quite thoroughly. OBSERVER. The block signal system has hot been installed on that portion of the railroad where the wreck occurred. Speeding In Lad 4 Addition. PORTLAND, Jan. 10. (To the. Edi tor.)

In your editorial Sunday under tbe heading "Debit and Credit." you refer to Frank James as "the last of that notorious band," while in fact, two alleged members of the band are, un less their deaths have occurred very recently, still alive. They are Jim Cumminss, who is an Inmate of the Homo for ex-Confederates at Hlgglns ville, Mo., and who was recently en gaged in preparing manuscripts for a "true" history of the doings of the gang, and for the publishing of which he has a contract with some publisher to produce after bis death.
