TIIE 3IOnxrNTG OREGOXIAX, TIITJRST3AY, APRIL- 1, 1920 TEACHERS ARE HELD OF U. S. Congress Resents Charges of Grafting. ENEMIES h OFFENDER IS LOCATED Salary limitation Advocated to l'orbid Employment of Instruc tors ot Bolshevik Tendency. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, March 31. Representa tive John W. Summers of Washington created a sensation Monday "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 underminethe 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 pupils that congress is made up of "grafters, second-class men and second-rate lawyers." The debate which followed was par ticipated ia by Representatives Blan ton of Texas, Gard 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 - Blanton, 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. Summers" office in the, morning, ac companied 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 unf.fch. in the house yesterday, he an id i ' "It seems to be definitely known that there is a teacher in the Central high school who repeatedly, day after day, teaches the children that this body and the body at the other th nf the rnnitol are made up of BTafters. of second-class men and second-class lawyers. I am not an attorney, so I am not sensitive on that subject, that Is taught to . the children, 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 1b 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 she has been doing that sort of thing during the fore part of this present school year is a positive iaci. 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 eonfined to the schools of Washington either. This same thing is fro ing- 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 tho 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 ho was a so cialist. Admitted that he taught so cialism as a teacher in Harvard. Some of thera ucv admit it and in a short time they will be boasting of it. It is time- that the congress, where i has control of teachers' salaries, pu a limitation on the payment of the salary that it should 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 an jn the schools of the country, whose duty it is to employ teachers, should ILLNESS BEGAN WITH BAD COLD A cold that hangs on for weeks an stubbornly resists the ordinary meth 'ods of treatment Is an indication that bodily resistance is low. The longer the cold lasts the lower the resistance forces of the body become. ' There is need at such times, for non-alcoholic tome that will so en rich the blood. that it has the strength to expel the germs that jeopardize health. Thin blood is generally ac companied by headaches, chills, pal lor, stomach trouble, dizzy spells and may lead to neuralgia, rheumatism find other diseases. The treatment which helped Miss Jennie Hugo, a nurse who lives at No. 1825 Second street. Bay City, Mich., will tone up the entire system and fortify the body against colds. "I bad a bad cold," relates Miss . Hugo, "and it hung on so long that it seemed to absorb my strength. I was without ambition and my color was poor. It seemed impossible for me to keep warm and I always felt chill ed. I had little appetite and suffered from shortness of breath and dizzy spells. 'I had heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills very favorably for years, so I procured a box and began taking them. I felt some relief in a week and was so encouraged that I kept on taving the puis.

"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 they can the con stitution and the government of the United States and it is high time that something should 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 dis trict. DUEL f OUGHT FOR LOOT SILK RIXG THOUGHT BROKEN BY CAPTIVES.

Fulton Cutting, chairman of the recently organized Hoover re publican committee of Greater New York, announced the appointment of an executive committee of IPO, lnclud ing names of prominent men in in dustry, commerce and the professions. At the same time, Herbert Parsons, republican national committeeman. sent a telegram to Mr. Cutting refus ing to join the committee, and add ing: l believe in party government, as Theodore Roosevelt did; that repub licans should nominate republicans and that the man who, in 1918, ad vocated the election of a democratic congress, and who in September, 1919. stated that he belonged to no party both of which Hoover did is politi cany incompetent to be an effective republican president, no matter how successful he was in the autocratic position of food controller during the stress of war.

MORROW WOULD' GO AHEAD Democratic National Committee man. From Oregon Favors Plac ing Name on Ballot, Anyway. Herbert Hoover's statement -to the California Republican club, which Is supporting him for president, was relayed to some of the prominent Portland democrats from The Orego nian office upon its receipt Tuesday night and the effect was rather eleC' trical. Oswald West, ex-governor of Ore gon, who had gone to the trouble of circulating petitions to place Mr. Hoover's name on the democratic bal lot in this state and who had held Mr. Hoover to be pre-eminently the man for the place, regardless of party. and just as a man standing lor great principles, said he "is a very great admirer of Mr. Hoover, but prefers to await the trend of events before taking a definite position as to sup porting Mr. Hoover as a republican candidate." 'I have been very strong for Mr. Hoover," said Mr. West, "and greatly wished to see him on the democratic ticket, but he did not wish us to place his name on our ticket in Ore gon; his wishes have governed and that incident is past, forgotten. I think he would make a great presi dent on any ticket." Morrow Cllstgrs to Hope. tional committeeman from Oregon, was of the opinion Tuesday nightthat Mr. Hoover's name could still be placed on the democratic ticket in Oregon, but Mr. West, when so ln formed, replied that "any one else who cares to may circulate petitions to that end, but it is one thing to get the names and another to sit and talk about it." Mr. West, in hie enthusiasm for Mr. Hoover as a presidential candidate, led a movement that resulted in the formation : of -a Hoover democratic club. Members under Mr. West's di rection circulated petitions and ob tained sufficient' signatures to place the name of Mr. Hoover-on the ballot, but on Monday Mr. West received a telegraphic request from Mr. Hoover not to put bis name on the democratic ticket and Mr. West promptly com plied. Dr. Morrow frankly admitted, when informed of the situation which de veloped in regard to the Hoover Cali fornia situation, that he "cannot under any circumstances support Mr. Hoover on a republican ticket." Morrow Would Go Ahead. "I see no reason why the democrats cannot go ahead regardless of Mr. Hoover's wishes and nominate him if they want to," said Dr. Morrow. There is no law against It that I know of. I think a whole lot of him as a man myself, but to support him on a republican tlcket--that would be out of the question. I have a lot of respect for him because he has done much good work and is a capa ble executive, however." Elton Watkine, president of .the Jackson club, the big democratic or ganization of the state, was the most outspoken of any of the men of that party to whom the news of Mr. Hoover's attitude was broken last night. Always a Hoover man, Mr. Watkins unhesitatingly reiterated his fidelity and devotion to the idol of his heart and said that, "while it is too early to say definitely what one would do under certain circumstances, I am very much inclined to think that Mr. Hoover will be elected president." Bert E. Haney. ex-democratic state chairman and ex-United States attor ney for Oregon, an ardent Hoover man, Tuesday night hoard with what appeared to tho interviewer to be "res ervations" Mr. Hoover's telegram to the Californians interested in his be half. Mr. Haney, while admitting his admiration for Mr. Hoover as a man, expressed the wish that he might see the republican platform upon which Mr. Hoover could stand. Hoover Is Declared Great. "I was the first to name Mr. Hoover for president," said Mr. Watkins, "and because of the greatness of the man, I will unhesitatingly say that, should the old gang, such as Sullivan, Tag gart and the Tammany crowd, control the democratic convention, and should Mr. Hoover be nominated by the re publicans, I most certainly would support him. While it Is too early to say defi nitely just what one might do under certain circumstances, I am very mucri inclined to think that Mr. Hoover will be elected president; he will be. If nominated. In my judg ment, no matter by what party. How ever, snouia me old guard, such as Lqdge, Penrose and Knox, control the republican convention, Mr. Hoover, of course, will not be nominated by tnat party. I most certainly hope that Mr. Hoover will be elected the next pres ident or tne united states." Mr. Watkins has been interested In tne canaiaacy or Mr. Hoover f or a long time, and made an unsuccessful attempt to get him to attend the big Jackson-day celebration, which in cluded a banquet In the Hotel Benson and when the club received a special communication from President Wil son, but sidetracked one from Will lam Jennings Bryan. Mr. Haney Tuesday nia-ht was in clined) to doubt. It seemed from his statements, the possibility of tho re publicans putting up a platform that will suit Mr. Hoover, "l would be eager to see anv olat- form the republican convention would put up that would suit Mr. Hoover," said Mr. Haney. "Until such time as we shall see the results of their con vention, I would not care to commit myself as to supporting Mr. Hoo ver." John H. Stevenson, one of the stal warts of the democratic hosts, de clared himself entirely neutral with regard to candidates, he being in the race as an aspirant for the honor of attending the convention as a dele gate. I had had a sort of nerannaJ foul ing that Hoover was a good candi date for us at first," said Mr. Steven son, but as time went by and he seemed to be somewhat like a man without any party, I rather lost my first feeling. He has done many good tnings, among them his support of President Wilson's policies. Had he announced Himself as a candidate on a wusoman democracy platform, I would still have had much admiration ior mm, Dut as he seemed not to care ior the efforts put forth in his behalf by our party and has declared for the republicans, of course that alters matters very materially." The statement of Herbert Hoover was received with complete approval ana marks oi jubilation at the head. quarters of the Hoover Republican Club of Oregon. "We have been expecting such a statement for several days," said Chester G. Murphy, state chairman. "Those of us who have known Mr. Hoover for years know that he has always been a republican of progres sive tendencies. The fact that he has been engaged since 1914 in war ac tivities and for the general welfare of mankind and has refrained from participation in partisan politics Is the real explanation of his silence. I His statement in support of the league of nations and the republican position upon the league issue will give a great impetus to the Hoover republican campaign In Oregon, as many-republicans have been reserv ing their decision as to whom to sup port in the republican primary until Mr. Hoover had declared his position more fully on the issues and had broken his silence regarding his party affiliations. His personal friends, as I say, never for a moment doubted his republicanism and naturally, as his strong - supporters, we are very much gratified that our fatih has been justified. In our opinion he is the logical candidate, whose wonder ful record, under all tests, has proven him to be the man of the hour. All we want is to give the people of the country at large an opportunity to express their "choice. "Hoover of Ore gon' for president is our motto. League Statement Expected. That the statement of Mr. Hoover will accentuate the main Issue of the coming campaign the league of na tions is the belief of G. C. Herbsman, manager of the Poindexter presiden tial campaign in Oregon. He thinks It will be necessary, however, for Mr Hoover to more definitely state his position on the industrial situation before long, as that, he says, is a big issue. "I worked for Mr. Hoover during his administration as food director, said Mr. Herbsman, "and know him to be a man of great executive ability and a fine citizen. I was a lecturer on his staff during the war. I am glad to see him in the race, for it will bring sharply' into public view the league of nations issue, which is to be the big issue of the campaign. He will, however, have to make him self definitely understood on the in dustrial situation, as he is considered a trifle too liberal in business circles. May the best man win and let's have them all in the race. BRYAN SILENT ON CHOICE ! COMMENT ON NOMINATION DEMOCRATIC "WITHHELD. Commoner Leaves Denver at Close of Campaign Universal Train ing Is Opposed. DENVER, Colo., March 31. William Jennings Bryan departed from Denver early last night, refusing to discuss the democratic nomination for presi dent. When he arrived in the morn ing he said he was not a candidate. "Political stocks shift," he explained During the dav he made comment about "political lightning" and its pe culiar way of striking. Mr. Bryan made five speeches. 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 lteering and advocated measures to stop it. He mentioned the name of President Wilson only once and said little about the peace treaty. Governor Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey and Senator G. M. Hitch cock of Nebraska, were scored for their advocacy of reform in the pro hlbition laws. "No republican has been shameless enough to advocate wet plank, but democrats have," Bryan said. After voicing his disapproval of unl versal military training, he declared in favor of a tax on fortunes created by the war to provide financial relief for returnea soiaiers. lie said a rem edy for profiteering must exist and should be found. "Public ownership of the necessities of life when they become private mo nopolies," was advanced as an essen tial step. -resiaent wnson Drought back a better treaty than the country had a right to expect, according to Mr. Bryan, but developments are leading to anotner war in Europe. ATTACK ON WOOD REVIVED SENATOR BORAH AGAIN QUES TIONS EXPENDITURES. Johnson Supporter Sajs Governor Lowden Is to , Reveal His Sources of Support. DETROIT, Mich., March at. Sen ator William E. 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 last night in behalf of Senator Hiram W. Johnson's candi dacy for the republican presidential nomination. "If General Wood make 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 1100,000 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 to tell the people who is giv ing him his money. Til 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 moat remark able bureaucracy that ever existed outeide 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 would con tlnue to be ruled, rather than to rule themselves.

WAR DOGS' WORK TOLD Governor Promises Improvement In Conditions at Training School for Boys. For the 40th time In its history the Oregon Humane society Tuesday night held its annual meeting in the First Unitarian church to elect Its officers, hear reports of the work and listen to an address by Rev. James Elvin of Salem on the war dogs of France. The organization has been in existence 48 years. . Announcement was made during the session by Mrs. F. W. Swanton, man ager of the society, that one of its most recent Investigations had been in connection with the boys' training school at Salem, resulting in a prom ise from the. governor of the state board of control that conditions there would be remedied. Mrs. Swanton said among the recommendations to be carried out will be the building of a gymnasium to replace the base ment playroom at the institution. It was found that 147 boys had but one shower and were expected to take a bath only once a week. Improve ments suggested and found desirable by the board will mean an expenditure of between $25,000 and $35,000. Officers to serve during the coming year are: Otto kraemer, president; Mrs. F. W. Berry, vice-president; E. E. Graff. Miss V. Cooley. Miss Viola Ortschild, Seld Back. Miss Jessie Wil lard, Judge Fred Olson, Mrs. B. Ber- nal and Mr. McDougall. directors; Mrs. F. W. Swanton. secretary. In prac- ically every case these had been al ready in office and were re-elected. Bands of Mercy Held Need. In making his annual report, Mr. Kraemer cited the need of a Band of Mercy in every school In the state, as a means of providing what vir tually amounts to policemen in every section. He spoke with regret of the absence of kindness-to-animals essays in the school work and of the efforts to get county humane societies es tablished 'all over Oregon. In conclu sion, he related the needs for more money and declared that the $500 re ceived annually from the state Is but mere pittance for the service ren dered. Mrs. Swanton summed up the work done in the past year, during which 8000 cases were handled. For a while 400 cats were the monthly average, and in one day nine dog casualties re sulted from automobile or street car accidents. For variety in one day she recorded "one goat, canary bird, cats. dogs, rabbits, pigeons, one donkey, one child, one alligator. The service car owned by the society, she said, had traveled 100.000 miles. Plans for Week Diacnssed. Plans for humane week next April were discussed. The national society is to send a revivalist here to renew interest in the kindness to animals movement. Miss Zulema Kostomlat sky pledged the aid of the public 11 brary and summed up the good re suiting from exhibits held there last year. E. J. Jaeger of the pound committee reported that 1000 animals had been impounded during the year, and 255 dogs sold. Mr. Elvin, who was all over France during and after the war while In the service, told of the treatment of ani mals in that country and praised the Americans for protecting them from beatings. Dogs were his particular topic, and after he had described the private cemetery for them In Paris, he summed up their work on the front in driving off the rats, giving warnings, carrying massages, protect ing oodies and aiding in transporta tion. Personal anecdotes made his discourse intensely interesting. TONS OF GOLD ARRIVE England Makes Huge Shipments to Stabilize Exchange. LONDON. March 31.
