Gloom Proved Wrong.
CHICAGO, April 30. (Special.)
Colonel Roosevelt returned to Oyster
Bay tonight convinced "down to his
boots." as he phrased it, that the Mid
dle West is awake to the need of pre
paredness. His tentative plan to speak
in Kansas City and Des Moines was
dropped for the present.
He did not give out a statement on
political conditions as intended. "With
the shouts with which 1300 banqueters
greeted him cry of "Prepare, prepare!"
till ringing" in his ears, the Colonel
decided an utterance on politics would
be anti-climax. The scene when his
listeners at the Bar Association dinner
n'mbed on chairs and tables and yelled
their approval of universal training
nd universal service led the sage of
Sagamore Hill to conclude that a politi
cal statement might rob the demonstra
tion for preparedness of some of its
value. So he let things ride with
brief interview on Mid-West pa
triotism.
Colonel Highly Gratified.
As he boarded the train for the East,
his black slouch hat pulled down on
his brow and his neck swathed in a
blue bandanna, the Colonel barred his
teeth away back to his wisdom molars
in a 24-karat Rooseveltian smile and
said:
"My last word to Chicago? Well,
it's this: I wouldn't have missed that
demonstration over universal service
for the world. Red blood beats in the
pulse of the West."
Before leaving for church in the
forenoon the Colonel amplified his com
ment.
"I am gratified beyond measure ;
last night's demonstration," he said.
mean the demonstration over the idea
that everyone should do his bit. When
they jumped to their chairs and yelled
their approval of the idea of universal
service it convinced down to my boots
that the people want to prepare.
KnMtern Cave Dweller Wrong.
"By George, the Middle West is filled
x ith men with red blood. Why, back
Kast the cave dwellers and the gloom
purveyors told me that I wou Id find
the West pathetic, that the West was
indifferent to the dangers that might
confront cities on the Atlantic. I told
1 hem they were wrong and that the
West never failed me. It was ready
w ith its boys for the Navy and. the
Army always.
"When they jumped to their chairs
and tore loose over this idea that you
should do it and I should do it, why
they showed the spirit of the state of
Lincoln and Grant. By George, the
Wst has just as much good red blood
as the Kast and the Atlantic Ocean, for
that matter, rolls right up the middle
oi' the Mississippi Valley. The West
never failed the Nation; there is no di
vision of Americanism by geographical
section, and never for a moment have I
doubted it. I would not have missed
that outpouring of sentiment for the
world."
Dominant Sentiment Awakening.
Observers who attended Saturday
night's banquet said today that the re-t-ept
ion accorded the Roosevelt shout
for National preparedness indicates that
whenever sentiment has been dormant
it gives signs of awakening.
The politicians studied the possible
effects in the Republican National con
vention. Senator Sherman's friends
were especially busy in this line of in
quiry. Some of them estimated that
about 45 per cent of the Illinois delega
tion would be ready to vote for Roose
velt as soon as they had discharged
their pledge to vote for Sherman. The
rest, they estimate, will be split be
tween Hughes, Root and Mann.

Report From New York Urging Law
yer lor Senate Apparently In
spired, but Arouses No En
thusiasm in Candidate.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 30. Is the Administration
losing interest in the appointment of
Louis r. Brandeis as Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court?
. The nomination of Mr. Brandeis was
sent to the Senate on .January 28. At
the time President Wilson nominated
Mr. Brandeis, he let it be known that
the appointment was a personal one
with him, and that notwithstanding
any opposition, he would stand by-ithe
man of his choice and force his early
confirmation by the Senate.
As a matter of fact, the President
never has turned a hand to force action
on the Brandeis nomination, but rather
has displayed remarkable indifference,
while the Senate committee has killed
time.
Not long ago a report, apparently in
spired, went out from New York, urg
ing Mr. Brandeis for the United States
Senate, and mentioning him as the logi
cal Democrat to oppose Senator Lodge.
Mr. Brandeis, himself, has never public
ly displayed any enthusiasm over the
mention of his name for the Senate, but
has been sitting tight, confident that
the Senate ultimately would confirm his
nomination and seat him on the Su
preme bench.
The manner in which the Brandeis
Senatorial boom was sprung and the
continued silence at the White House
while the Brandeis nomination has been
under attack has given rise to a general
impression that the President would
shed no tears if the nomination should
be rejected. He has accompl is tied
everything by sending in the nomination.
office of District Attorney, it was the
duty of Mr. Evans to "familiarize'
himself with the work of that office
and to do the work and not permit it
to be done by special counsel at a great
and unnecessary expense to the tax
payers. JOHN C. M'CUE.
The Oregonian is quite aware that
Mr. McCue"is most anxious to make
the issue between himself and Mr.
Kvans something which has only smal
bearing on the real question. It is
wholly, or almost wholly, a matter of
the rigor and capacity of the one or
the other to enforce the law, and The
Oregonian is most emphatically of
opinion that a great mistake will be
made if the voters substitute Mr. Mc-
Cue t or Mr. Kvans. It is also of
opinion that if Mr. McCue shall be
chosen it will be tantamount to a pub
lic instruction to him as District At
torney to be lenient in hi prosecution
of violator? of the prohibition statute.

HILLS BO HO. Or.. April DO. (Spe
cial.! Between 800 and 900 children
representing S Washington county
schools, competed in Hillsboro Saturday
for the honor of being perfect spellers.
With the spelling contest was held the
annual juvenile carnival. The contest
is the final of district contests con-
ducted throughout the year and those
participating today were pupils who
had maintained the necessary average.
Three classes, including groups from
the third grade to and including the
high school, participate, words spelled
being appropriate to each class. Kach
contestant today wrote 100 words and
results will not be known until the pa
pers have been examined. The only
prize offered is a diploma given by the
county school superintendent certify
ing that the holder Is a perfect speller.
The contest was conducted in the
morning, contestants being divided be
tween the two Hiilsboro school build
ings. In the afternon the carnival
programme was given on the lawn of
the courthouse square.
A feature was the crowning of the
May queen. Miss Eva Kmmott, of Hills
boro, by Dr. F. A. Bailey, whose intro
ductory remarks dwelt upon the im
portance of good spelling and the
value ot the competition which had
just ended. A programme of music.
May dances and figures by gaily
dressed little children followed.
A crowd of visitors, estimated at
5000, was attracted by the event.
Slap at O'Gorman Apparently Failed
When Appointee Refused Job and
Denial to Lewis In Chicago
Is More Mysterious.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April SO. Politicians, particu
larly Democrats, are still trying to fig
ure out the political motives that in
spired the President to ignore the
Democratic Senators from New York
and Chicago in appointing postmasters
at those two cities. The course of the
President is the more difficult to
understand because it is an unwritten
rule of long standing, recognized by
both parties, that a Senator belonging
to the Administration party shall have
the right to name the postmaster in
his home city.
When the President appointed Robert
F. Wagner postmaster at New York he
did not consult Senator O'Gorman, nor
did he consult Senator Lewis when he
appointed Dixon C. Williams, post
master at Chicago. On the contrary, he
turned down men recommended by the
Senators and made selections of his
own.
New York Man Refuses Job.
If the President was striving for per
sonal political advantage by appoint
Ing Mr. Wagner in New York, he ap
pears to have lost, because Wagner,
after his nomination had been sent to
the Senate, said he would not accept
the appointment. If he was striving to
put Senator O'Gorman in a hole, he
seems to have failed again.
The Lest line of speculation devel
oped regarding the New York appoint
ment has It that the President, after
ignoring Tammany for more than three
years, is now trying to curry favor
with that organization, and as a bid for
Tammany support picked a Tammany
State Senator for the New York post
office. By making his own selection
and by taking a Tammany man he
may have figured that he would accom
plish more with Tammany than if he
appointed a Tammany man recommend
ed by Senator O'Gorman. At the same
time, having selected and appointed a
Tammany man, he plased Senator
O'Gorman in a position where he could
not afford to fight the Administration
choice.
Chicago Problem More LMfflcult.
Why the President should have de
nied Senator Lewis the right to name
the postmaster at Chicago is more diffi
cult to explain. Senator Lewis is the
Democratic whip in the Senate. He
has given the Administration loyal sup
port. It is true that just before the Presi
dent named the Chicago postmaster.
Senator Lewis, going further than the
Administration, urged the sending of a
large and adequate force into Mexico,
and it is possible th President took
this means of letting the Senator know
he must not proceed at a speed greater
than that set by the "captain of the
team." This one Incident, however, is
the only thing that has occurred to
array Senator Lewis in any way
against the President of late, and the
Senator's friends do not fci that his
slight digression was justification for
denying him the right to name his own
postmaster.

Its former prestiue as tlie null city ot

fart that although there are three saw
mills and box factories within the city
already running to capacity, the larg

to be built within the next few weeks,
announcement of tho fact having been
made public last night. Seven Southern
1'acific cars bearing the machinery and

The new sawmill will have a dall:
capacity of 50.000 feet and will be the
largest mill in teoutnern uregon.
The mill was Intended for Butte Falls
some four years ago to cut the lumber
belonging to the Hart Interests, but
when Mr. Hart died some time ago the
estate was closed up without the mil

was then taken over by the Owens of

MR. M'CUE HAS GRIEVANCE
Object ion Made to Kmploynient of

PORTLAND, April 30. (To the Edi
tor.) In your editorial today, entitled
"Quite Heroic.' you say: "Mr. Evans
has soup: lit to fulfill literally the re
quirements of the statute that he shall
act as counsel for various other county
departments; and the necessity for spe

"The Oregonian has great sympathy for
any practicable plan to ease the load
carried by the taxpayers." I am con
strained to believe the Lombard f ore

your attention.

It has been stated by Mr. Evans
