Reference to prohibition was omitted but submission of all amend ments to the federal constitution to the voters of the various states and the legislatures for ratification was favored. I Salary Limitation Advocated to ' Forbid Employment of Inbtruc tors of Bolshevik Tendency. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Washington, March 30. Representa tive John W. Summers of 'Washington created a sensation yesterday when in the house debate on the District of Columbia appropriation bill he un dertook to insert in the salary provi sion for school teachers an amend ment to prohibit in the schools any "instruction tending to undermine the government of the United States." The necessity for the amendment, he explained, was that a woman school teacher in Central high school, which is the largest institution of its kind in Washington, had been teach ing her nuDils that congress is made np of "gratters, second-class men and second-rate lawyers." The debate which followed was par ticipated in by Representatives Blan ton of Texas. Card of Ohio and Camp bell of Kansas. The amendment was defeated, but before its rejection its purpose was strongly upheld by Rep resentatives Campbell and Bianton, who deplored the tendency of school teachers and college professors to teach socialism, bolshevism and an archism. Teacher Is Paraded. The discussion brought the prin cipal of Central high school to Mr. "KuVumers' office this morning, accom panied by the offending school teacher, a Miss Somebody, whose name was withheld, but who has de voted the most of 60 years of her life to the classroom. Reports pub lished in afternoon papers gave the impression that Representative Sum mers had weakened on his charges, but this he denied tonight, in his speech in the house yesterday, he said: "It seems to be definitely known that there is a teacher in the Central j high school who repeatedly, day after day. teaches the children that this body and the body at the other end of the capitol are made up of grafters, of second-class men and aecond-class lawyers. I am not an attorney, so I am not sensitive on that subject, that is taught to the -Jiildren, preached - to the children, day after day. If they undertake to remonstrate, the good old lady says, We will drop the subject, we will not debate it." It is dropped until the next day, when she makes the same sort of a speech, and when they remonstrate she says, 'We will not debate it, we will drop the subject.' "That old lady has been there for years, but whether or not she has been carrying out this programme all these years I do not know, but that v she has been doing that sort of thing during the fore part of this present school year is a positive fact. I would like to know, while you are making exclusions, if you are not going to exclude that sort of thing. Mr. Campbell of Kansas went much further and declared that what this teacher was alleged to have been do ing was part of a systematic propa ganda carried on in the schools throughout the country to discredit the government. Charge Made General. The remarks of the gentleman from Washington." he said, "bring up the question that goes right to the root of the educational system in the United States." Continuing, Mr. Campbell was several times ap plauded as he declared: "This is not confined to the schools of Washington either. This same thing is going on throughout the country. Bolshevists, socialists and anarchists are given teachers" cer tificates and they are teaching these things in every state of the union. College professors of high and low degree are socialists or anarchists, enemies of the congress, enemies of the constitution of the United States and enemies of this government, the best example of republican govern ment the world has yet seen, and they teach these things daily in the col leges of the country. Colleges Also Arraigned. A half-matured socialist from Har vard appeared before one of the com mittees of the congress a short time ago and admitted that he was a so cialist. Admitted that he taught so cialism as a teacher in Harvard. Some of them now admit it and in a short time they will be boasting of it. It Is time that the congress, where it has control of teachers' salaries, put a limitation on the payment of the salary that it ehould not be employed or used to employ teachers who teach the overthrow or the undermining of the government of the United States, and every trustee in the colleges and in the schools of the country, whose duty it is to employ teachers, ehould see to it that bolshevists and social ists are not employed to poison the minds of the youth of America. "The American constitution and system of government are not the re sults of an accident. They are a creation by great government build ers, and we enjoy the result of the wisdom of the ages in representative government. And these people, who are teaching socialism and anarchy and the soviet system, are undermin ing in every way tbey can the con stitution and the government of the United States and it is high time that something shonld be done to stop that teaching in all our schools." It is understood an investigation of the Summers charges will be made by the school authorities of the district. BT LEONE CASS BAKR. , F HE had been so inclined Stew art Robbins could have made this interview redolent of war days, for he was a year and a half in eerv ice in the fighting- area, as a gunner with the 1st battalion of American heavy tanks. But Stewart Robblne preferred not to talk about war. He mentioned it only briefly in the con versation, and then merely to say that he knew another Baker player of oth er days, one Clarke Silvermaid, who is still in Eurooe. "Clarke is producing plays." said Robbins, "and was constantly busy during the war, putting on entertain ments for the boys. After the armistice was signed he went to Farls and want ed me to join a company he was taking on tour of the provinces, but I want ed to come home to America. Of an the boya who went over I can't think any one of them was gladder to get back to the United States than 1 was, The boat couldn't come too fast for me. I'd go back just as readily if I had to aud do my share again, but I'm one of the brothers who the more he sees of other countries the more he likes his own. It was a great expe rience, but I do not talk about it often, for the reason that 1 never know who I am wounding. So many folk lost their sons over there, and a word, even a song, brings their sor row home to them. I was fortunate myself, and I count as splendid train ing all that I went through. The dis cipline, the hard work, the routine and the lasting fine friendships I made, all these I treasure." Acter Comes on Short Xollee. Mr. Robbins arrived yesterday on short notice from New York. He has come, on telegraphic contract, to take the place of Emmanuel Turner as leading man at the Baker. , "It is a case of the king is leaving; all hail the king." said Mr. Robbins. "As I understand it. Mr. Turner is resuming his picture work in Los An geles, a position he left only tempo rarily.

Criticising the league of nations. Senator Johnson said: "I have been called a pigmy Amer ican and a provincial American by a president and an ex-president. I ad mit it, but I am all American, and I may say in connection with this that I will never yield to the most tender hearted mother in the world in her desire to prevent war. But the league of nations is not to prevent war. It is to tie us up to every war in Europe."

In his remarks he opposed universal mil itary training, made comments on the prospects of a wet plank in the plat form of either party, denounced prof iteering and advocated measures to stop it. He mentioned the name of President Wilson only once and eaid little about the peace treaty. Governor Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey and Senator t. M. Hitch cock of Nebraska, were scored for their advocacy of reform in the pro hibition laws. "No republican has been shameless enough to advocate a wet plank, but democrats have, Bryan said.

He said a rem edy for profiteering must exist .and should be found.

We ought to keep more than abace; we ought to lead the world in the improvement of aviation and be stronger in the air than we are on the sea. We ought to have an ample army. "I believe cordially in the benefits of military training and pledge my countrymen ever to be mindful of our national defense. "We ought to resolve to do every thing possible to get away from ab normal conditions of war and seek the stable ways of peace.

Borah of Idaho re newed his attack on campaign ex penditures of Major-General Leonard Wood and Governor Frank O. Lowden in a speech here tonight in behalf of Senator Hiram W. Johnson's candi dacy for the republican presidential nomination. "If General Wood makes public the names and subscriptions of his prin cipal supporters," Senator Borah said, "it would be the most interesting story the people ever read. I know from 12 years' experience that no man donates $100,000 to promote any man's presidential candidacy for any other reason than that somewhere along the line he expects to get some return. A candidate for the suffrage of the American people should be perfectly willing tp tell the people who is giv ing him his money." "I'll say this much for Governor Lowden," he continued, "he has prom ised to come to Washington next Mon day, and give me a list of his cam paign subscribers. Senator Borah declared for the re peal of war legislation. "We have been building at Wash ington." he said, "the most remark able bureaucracy that ever existed outelde Russia. It is time some of the crowns which certain men in Washington have taken unto them selves be knocked off." The league of nations, he said, would control the lives of countless millions and small nations wouldcon tinue to be ruled, rather than to rule themselves. HOUSE CODE TEST LOOMS WABASH HOTEL BREAKS DAW, SAYS IXSPECTOR. A. F. Flegel Says Determination to Beat City Will Prove Strength. Legal test of the housing code is certain to result, it is believed, be cause of the determination of the city of Portland to force the owners of the Wabash hotel, Front and Madison streets, to conform with the law by providing for light and ventilation. According to Gordan Land, chief san itary inspector of the health bureau, 20 rooms in this hotel do not conform to the regulations and, in fact, repre sent the most flagrant violations of the law. City Attorney LaRocbe has been instructed to prosecute the case. A. F. Flegel, attorney and one of the framers of the housing code, has been retained to resist the city's ac tion. He announces that his deter mination to defeat the city is made in order that the law may be tested. City Commissioner Mann, commis sioner in charge of the health bureau, and charged with the enforcement of the regulations of the bousing code pertaining to sanitation, announced yesterday that common sense would be the rule followed in the enforce ment of the housing code provisions and that all violators who indicated willingness to conform with the law would be exempted from prosecution.
