GENIAL AMBITION
RUDELY CHECKED
Hon. Frank's Plum-Picking
Proclivities Fail of De
served Appreciation.
J captivity. It is said to have overflowed
yj u iuib occasion, in o L only was (.lie w
pointment asked by the Honorable
Frank withheld and another candi
date indorsed for nomination by the
President, but a written message con
veyed the Senator's compliments and
something else from Washington to the
Honorable Frank as fast as the mails,
could take it.
Fresh cause for difference arose over
the Senator's declination to remove
Postmaster Frank J. C. Lamkin from
the office at Hillsboro, and over the
Honorable Frank's insistence on nam
ing the postmaster at Drain, Or.
SEN. HARRY ALL ROILED UP
Specific Information on Where to
Head In Imparted by His Patron
to Incumbent of Oregon's
Most Obese Political Job.
,t the Tlonorable Frank Stott Myers,
Portland Postmaster, had contented
himself with advancement from cam
paign manager for Senator Harry Lane
to the best Federal Job in Oregon, pay
ing $6000 a year, in which his chief
duty, outside of office hours, was to
smooth the way for the re-election of
his patrons; and
If the Honorable Frank had not con
ceived the genial ambition of becoming
boss of the Democratic party in Oregon,
beholding unto himself such patronage
and political perquisites as would ap
pertain thereto; and
If in the benevolent exercise of this
patronage, the Honorable Frank had
not sought to put sundry of his rela
tives into other good Postoffice Jobs in
the state; and
If the rival candidates, incensed at
what they denounced as an attempt at
the high political crime of nepotism by
the Honorable Frank, had not raised
iheir voices in lengthy protest to Sena
tor Lane himself, who has not the
sweetest temper in the world; and
If Senator Lane had not thereupon
held up certain Postoffice appointments
urged oy the Honorable Frank, includ
ing those of relatives, and caused other
ppointments to be made in their stead,
and written burningly to the Honorable
Frank, commenting, 'tis said, that an
1 ex-campaign manager promoted to
rostmaster of Portland should make
friends for hia patron, not enemies; and
If the Honorable Frank in vexation
and high dudgeon had not then pro
reeded suddenly to Washington, some
two weeks ago. on a "vacation trip."
to demand an explanation of the Sena
tor Result Quite Different.
Why. if all this had not happened,
the Honorable Frank would not then
have been told bluntly by the feenator,
hi natron, where to head in at. as ad-
viciiti from Washington relate has oc
curred!
There would not now be such a seeth
ing in the ranks of Oregon Democratic
brethren, and sisters, too, as exists in
many quarters, where resentment at
the Honorable Frank is handed along
to the Senator. - whose representative
h is considered to be;
The Senator's chances for re-election
two vears from now would be that
much better than they are:
And. even more important, the rela
tives might have been provided for in
one way or another in place of Deing
left out in the cold to suffer, as it now
seems highly probable will be the case.
Cat Ik Oat of Bag.
Yes. the cat's out of the bag and the
secret of the Honorable Frank's "vaca
tion trip" to Washington is explained.
It was not such a secret after all to
persons who had followed certain re
cent events. Among whom may be in
cluded quite a Bprlnkltng of Portland
and up-state Democrats. Quite a
sprinkling, "i faith!
These events culminated vexatiously
for the Honorable Frank when the Sen
ate on February 7th last, confirmed
the nomination of Robert P. Wirtz,
City Treasurer of Forest Grove, Or.,
for the postmastership at that place.
Now the Honorable Frank was
brought up at Forest Grove and edu
rated at Pacific University there. It's
his "old home town," so to speak. And
if a man's political patronage is good
for anything, why certainly it ought to
be good for naming the postmaster at
one's old home town. ought it not?
Especially, as for a good many
months the Honorable Frank had been
recommending postmasters right and
left for all vacancies arising in the
state, these recommendations being
complacently followed by Senator Lane
and agreed to by Senator Chamberlain,
who is interested in bigger things than
postmasters Just now.
The Honorable Frank's nominee for
the postmastership at Forest Grove
was his sister. Miss Minnie J. Myers.
Others in the contest were Mr. Wirtz,
the successful applicant; Ira Purdin,
farmer; V. S. Abraham, former mer
chant; Dr. Ward and ex-County Judge
.Stevenson, father of John II. Stevenson,
of Portland. '
Lady Ungallantly Ignored,
The Honorable Frank's indorsement
of his sister was flatly ignored by
Senator Lane and Mr, Wirtz, who had
many indorsements, not only from
Forest Grove, but from Portland, was
nominated in January and confirmed
February 7.
This was the act that broke the
patience of the Honorable Frank and
sent him scurrying to Washington to
find what had happened. Not that he
was entirely ignorant, for a series of
more or less lively letters had passed
between him and the Senator growing
out of the confirmation January 14 of
W. F. Quintan as postmaster at Grants
Pass.
Quinlan had not ever been consid
ered an active candidate. There were
several aspirants for the place, but the
Honorable Frank sent in a recommen
dation for a relative by marriage.
When it became known that he was
supporting this man. a great to-do
arose. All the other candidates finally
banded together and raised a mighty
protest, which they reduced to writing
and sent to Senator Lane at Washing
ton. This protest contained full and
complete details as to the activities of
the Honorable Frank and the resent
ment of the people of Grants Pass at
his interference.
As has been said before, the temper
of Senator Lane is not the sweetest in

Leads to Arrest.
Die
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 25. The ar
rest of Jay J. Parker at Lincoln, Neb.,
on a charge of having had in his pos
session a die for making counterfeit
silver dollars was announced tonight by
Secret Service officers here. The Secret
Service men said Parker's arrest was
the direct result of the purchase of a
steamer trunk at an auction sale last
December of baggage left at Seattle
hotels.
The" trunk, which had been left at a
hotel September 24, 1913, was bought by
a woman for a trifling sum. Upon forc
ing it open she found numerous articles
of clothing and the counterfeit die. The
die was turned over to the Secret
Service men who traced it to Parker.

Cut in Rates Throughout Country
Given as Reason for Contemplat
ed Action Visitors to Be
Honored With Banquet.
SPOKANE. Wash!, Feb. to. (Spe
cial.) Bankers from Seattle, Portland,
Tacoma. North Yakima and other
Northwestern centers are expected
the citv tomorrow for a conference
with Spokane bankers and to attend the
annual banquet of the Spokane Clear
ing-House Association, in the Daven
nort Hotel. There will also be an in
formal luncheon in honor of the visitors
at noon tomorrow.
The matter of lowering the Interest
rate on savings deposits from 4 to
per .cent, it is expected, will be
threshed out. This is a movement that
has been uppermost in the minds
Northwestern bankers for several
months and much correspondence has
Dassed on the subject. .
It was discussed at a Imeeting of th
executive council of the State Associa
tion and the group secretaries at
North Yakima,
Seattle bankers recently adopted
resolution to cut the interest rate, as
suggested. July 1. It is virtually con
ceded that Spokane and the other
Northwestern banks will decide to d
the same thing. It has been sug.
gested that Spokane banks make the
change April 1.
Low interest rates prevailing
throughout the country are given as a
reason for the contemplated action.
them. It was averred that munitions
factories contain many evaders of mili
tary service.
Albert Thomas, Secretary of Mu
nitions, replying to the criticism, said
it was true that last year when hun
dreds of men were called from the
front to work in factories there were
some abuses. But he declared it must
be a.dmitted that it was this effort to
ward increasing the supply of mu
nitions and cannon which enabled
France to hold its own against Ger
many, which was long prepared for
war.
The question of labor in connection
with the war, M. Thomas said, was a
more difficult one with the Germans
than with the French. He said that
all necessary measures would be taken
in continuing the work.

DO THIS RRST-YOU !
You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Nature's resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a worn-out
body only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-making oil-
j food in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat
Physicians prescribe Scott's Emul
sion aftersickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocate it. Scott's is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

Schwab Says Millions Paid as Bo

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Paying bo
nuses of 11,000,000 or $5,000,000 a year
in addition to princely salaries to as
sistants who increase profits or output
is of little consequence, Charles M.
Schwab told the Aldine Club.
"Brains are a bigger asset than
money, he said to the 500 book and
magazine publishers and literary peo
ple present. "They are essential to
the success of any business and should
be paid for by the corporations which
profit by them."
Mr Schwab said that he had paid
Vice-President Arch Johnson', of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, $600,000 in
addition to his salary last year and that
another assistant had received more
than $1,000.000.-his share of the profits
he had produced.
To allay fears of the tinHd, Mr.
Schwab told them he had a plant at
Bethlehem that was at least 50 per cent
greater than the famous Krupp works

NEW YORK, Feb. 25. The annual
banquet of the members of the trust
company section of the American
Bankers' Association here tonight was
attended by bankers and representa

try. The principal speaker was Howard
Elliott, president of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad.
President Elliott, speaking on the
physical valuation law, declared that
this law will cost the railways of the
country and the country from $40,000.
0(H) to $45,000,000. and the New Haven
alone $500,000 to $600,000.
"This is such a largo sum," he said,
"that the question may well be asked
'Whv does the country engage in this
work, and could not the same amount!
of money have been spent to better ad
vRntasre for the countless Improve
ments needed on the railroads?'"
OvercnpHalliatlon Is Denied.
"Many of us in the railway service,"
he concluded, "believe that when the
finaL result of this valuation work is
obtained and settled by the Interstate
Commerce Commission or by the courts,
it will show that American railways
generally are worth more than the par
value of their securities and that con
stant charge of overcapitalization will

"Despite the heritage of hate that is

SPRAYS PREVENT MILDEW
Botany Professor Tells How to Care
for Rosebushes.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON.
Feb. 24. Powdery mildew, the worst
fungous disease of roses and one which
appears early in the Spring, should be
watched for by all who treasure large
or small gardens, according to Dr. John
W. Hotson, of the botany department
of the University of Washington. It
usually appears shortly after the loaves
come out and if not combated at this
time will bo very difficult to control.
"The best treatment for powdery
mildew is a spray." Dr. Hotson says.
"It should be remembered, however,
that spraying is not a cure for a dis
ease, but merely prevents its spread.
This is true of practically all sprays.
They are preventive. not curative.
When the disease once gets into the
leaf there is no-spray that can kill
it without killing the leaf. Hence the
soon as the disease appears or, better
still, before it appears.
"Some roses like the Killarney. Crim
son Rambler and Margaret Dickson are
especially susceptible. The disease is
readily detected by the white, powdery
material on the leaves, especially on
the under side. Later in the year it
appears on the stems also."
Professor Hotson suggests several
sprays which may be used.
(1) Bordeaux mixture, about 6-6-50
(1-1-8 1-3) applied as a dormant spray
in March or April before the leaves
come out and then repeated after the,
leaves are out with a 4-4-50 (1-1-12M:)
solution. Do not use this spray nftot
the buds begin to burst, as it spoils the
flowers and discolors the foliage.
l) Lima sulphur may be used in a
similar way, a strong dormant sprsy
being applied in March or April. The
directions for dilution go along with the
bottles of this mixture, which you may
get from any seed store. For a Winter
spray it is usually diluted anout lu
times, for a Summer spray 14 or 15
times, according to the strength of the
solution.
(3) Potassium sulphide is sometimes
used, one ounce to three or four gal
lons of warm water in early Spring
and one ounce to two gailons during the
Summer. An ounce of common Ivory
soap added to this solution sometimes
aids it in sticking to the leaf.

PROPER TREATMENT FOR A BAD COLD
A THOROUGHLY RELIABLE REMEDY
The Many Remarkable Cures Effected by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy Put It in the Front Rank as a Specific for Bad Colds.
It is not probable that any medicine
has ever met with greater success than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as a cure
for bad colds. People everywhere speak
of it In the highest terms of praise.
The fact that it is pleasant and safe to
take adds greatly to its popularity.
Mrs. E. N. Tice, Gowanda, N. Y
writes: "We have used Chamberlain a
Cough Remedy in our iamily for a
number of years, and it has never
failed to cure a cough, bronchial trou
ble or hard cold. I have found it Just
splendid for children. It will break
up a croupy cough quicker than any
thing else I ever used. It contains no
opium, so I know it to be harmless."
Mrs. Fred Kymer, Lancaster, in. x
writes, "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
deserves all the credit I can give It. A
few months ago I used two bottles of
it and was cured of a deep-seated cold
on my lungs that had defied all other
treatment. It goes directly to the seat
of the trouble, removes the cause,
thereby effecting a positive and per
manent cure."
Mrs. Km ma Myers. Akron. X. Y.,
writes, "I first used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy about two years ago
and I learned what a valuable medi
cine it is for coughs and colds. Now
when symptoms of a cold appear I take
a few doses and it fixes me up right
away. It Is by far the best couth mod
ictno I ever used."
