defendants, permitted the change of the
charge to petit larceny so that the boys
might be saved from the penitentiary.
Thomas and Frank James, younger
brothers of William, aged respectively 13
and 13 years, will probably be sent to the

WORK DONE AT WASHINGTON
HIGH SCHOOL JOUEUAUSTS.
Government Recognition Does Much
to Insure Portland's Commercial
Supremacy-People Demand a
Strong Man for. Senator.
Yesterday's Oregonlan announces that
the Oregon delegation at "Washington is
again successful In getting' results .for this
state. The headlines read:
"VICTORY FOR OREGON.
CUSTOMS SERVICE LAUNCH 'NOT TO BE
REPAIRED. IN SEATTLE.
NEITHER BE TRANSFERRED.
PORTLAND GETS BONDED WAREHOUSE
IN THE FACE OF STRONG INDORSE
MENTS FOR PUGET SOUND
CITIES.
MUST NOW BOW TO t PORTLAND.
PUGET SOUND CITIES HAVE STRONG
SUPPORT. BUT LOSE" BONDED
WAREHOUSE..
. BUYS ITS OATS HERE.
GOVERNMENT AWARDS CONTRACT FOR
2000 TONS.
I want no stronger illustration of tho
argument I have been printing in this
column of The Oregonlan during the past
week. .
It Is a business proposition. Senator
Mitchell Is successful where others have
signally failed. For several years the War
Department has discriminated against us
and in favor of Seattle. "We could load no
transports, and could rarely sell our hay,
oats, lumber and other supplies, even
when we offered them at the lowest figure.
When Senator Mitchell got to Washing
ton all this -was changed. He had a pow
erful Influence to overcome, but he re
moved all opposition, and the river that
was too shallow suddenly was found to be
deep enough for the largest transport
ships; the bar that was so dangerous was
found to offer no obstacles to the coming
and going of the great ocean carriers; and
tho country tributary to Portland that
raises the finest hay and grain in the
world was found to be able to supply Its
products as conveniently through the
merchants of our city as through trade
channels that required the extra charge
freighting by train to Puget Sound for
shipment and sale.
The same remarks may be made about
the honded warehouse. Portland was
pitted against Puget Sound, and our busi
ness houses have been telegraphing Sen
ator Mitchell to use his influence to get
this for Portland. If Senator Mitchell had
not been there the headlines yesterday
would have told a very different story.
And in securing the victory for our port
in retaining the business of making re
pairs upon tho Government vessels hero
instead of at Puget Sound, we have an
other instance of the efficiency of our
delegation at Washington.
Senator Mitchell, it Is conceded by all,
Is the most effective representative Oregon
can have at Washington. Why, then. Is
not this primary election made unani
mous? Why is there a contest? What
Is the cause of the Independent tickets
put forth by ex-Senator Simon in the S3
precincts of this county? I will state
some of the reasons:
L First and foremost is tho personal
ambition of Joseph Simon for place and
power. Having long ruled the state, he
was not ousted until, by the enactment
of the present primary law, the safeguards
of the Australian ballot and the registry
system, were placed upon primary elec
tions, so that his corrupt and illegal
methods of operating primaries and elec
tions were no longer possible. Defeated
for re-election to the United States Sen
ate, where he had filled an unexpired term
of four years, he now seeks revenge and
alms to defeat Mitchell and to be rein
stated. His success means the defeat of
Mitchell for re-election, and possibly a
re-election for himself.
2. A hungry horde of office-seekers and
tax-eaters, the rag-tag and bob-tall of all
parties, and especially the dregs and scum
of the Republican party a veritable Jack
Cade crew, who stand for no principle
or policy except the time-honored claim
of the "have-nots" against those who
"have" are assembled together to effect
the defeat of the regular Republican
ticket. They care no more about who
is Senator than they care about the suc
cession of the equinoxes. They are against
Mitchell, not because It is Mitchell, but
because It is necessary to destroy him
and trample him under in order to get at
the trough. ' These shouters make them
selves hoarse with outcries against In
dividuals -or measures as a mere political
expedient They can figure out, by the
use of a table of logarithms, a scheme
to avoid paying taxes. They can show
that although the community, like In
dividuals, must pay Its debts and pay for
luxuries It Insists on having, the tax this
year is a gross outrage, and the old sys
tem of letting the county debt grow con
stantly larger each year was excellent
financiering. These are the Independents.
They are naturally "fornlnst the Govern
ment," and although most of them pay no
taxes, the tax cry Is as good as another
to serve their purpose.
Monday is the last day for registering.
Many of our best citizens have neglected
this duty, but there is still time tomorrow
for them to register and get ready to
vote Wednesday. A vote for tho regular
Republican ticket at the primaries Is a
vote to indorse and support Senator
Mitchell. CHAS. H. CAREY,

Pupils Publish the Cardinal and
Adopt Enterprising Methods.
The latest number of "The Cardinal." a
bright little publication issued by the
pupil's of the High School, contains a
number of crisp, well-written articles on
subjects of the day, which are well worth
me reading. The dudIIs of this school
wish the taxpayers to know what their
education is doing for them how they
are Denefltlng by the school taxes, and
they feel that. If this paper is more wide
ly read, it will give the residents of Port
land an insight Into the work they are
doing. The Cardinal now has 1000 sub
scrlbers, and would like that many more.

the past 24 hours feeds the streams sum
clently to keep it to its present height. It
is not expected to rise from the effect of
rain.
No more snow melting .on the streams
feeding the Willamette, the service at
river points has been discontinued. A fall
of three or four feet was reported along
the upper part of the river yesterday
morning.
Tho full force of the Columbia River
freshet was felt off the mouth of the WU
lamette yesterday, and the crest Is. pass
ing on. As tnls goes down, the Willam
ette will be allowed to run off faster and
the water will fall even more rapidly at
Portland. However, it will take a num
ber of days before any material effect In
the level of the Columbia Is shown. The
river is still high as far up as Lewlston,
though It Is falling something less than a
foot in 24 hours at that point, at Uma
tilla and The Dalles.
As a result of the low barometer and the
storm center which prevailed along tho
Coast for several days, storms have been
frequent throughout the Northwest, espe
cially between the Straits Qf Fuca and the
mouth of the Columbia. At both these
points there were thunder storms yester
day morning, an unusual phenomenon at
this time of year. Storm warnings were
displayed all along the Coast yesterday
for a slight disturbance. A heavy wind
was blowing all day. At North Head
the maximum was 56 miles, but at Tatoosh
Island was not over 4S miles.

Chicago Trio of Carbarn Notoriety
Unmoved by the Verdict.
CHICAGO, March 12. Hanging for all
was tho verdict of the Jury today in the
first murder case against the so-called
carbarn bandits, Harvey Van Dine. Peter
Nledermeler and Gustav Marx. The trio
attained -notoriety by a desperate all-day
battle that started in a dugout near Liv
erpool, Ind., where they had taken refuge
after a series of remarkable crimes. In
cluding the murder of two employes of
the Chicago City Railway at one of the
company's carbarns In this city, the mo
tive in each case being robbery. Emll
Roeskl, who was with the bandits In the
dugout, and who participated In many of
their crimes, is to be tried separately, not
having been Implicated directly In- the
particular murder for which his associ
ates were first arraigned.
The verdict of the Jury was delayed
from yesterday afternoon until today on
account of a temporary "division of opin
ion to make the punishment alike for all.
A confession on the part of Marx led
to the discovery of the hiding place of the
other bandits. Marx entered a plea of
guilty and begged for mercy, while the
other bandits attempted to brazen out a
plea of Innocence. Hereditary epilepsy
also was pleaded in the cas eof Van
Dine.
The bandits heard their doom stolidly.
The mother of Van Dine was in the court
room. NIedermeler's mother was also
present Neither woman made any out
cry. The mother of Marx did not ap
pear. She was said to be at home In a
state bordering on collapse.
Sources of Genius.
Havelock Ellis "Study of British Genius"
The proportion of distinguished men
andTvomen contributed from among tha
families of the clergy can only he d-
-scribed as enormous. In mere number
tne ciergy can seiaom nave equaled tha
butchers or bakers in their parishes,
yet out of 1000 cases of genius only two
butchers and four bakers are definitely
ascertained to have produced ejnlnent
children, as against 139 parsons. The
eminent children of the clergy outnum
bered those of lawyers, doctors and
army officers put together. On the other
hand, such is the eccentricity of genius
that the clerical profession produces
more idiots than any other class.

Books have been written on this subject, but what is most amusing to us is that we find so many
people who expect to he fooled. They read in the papers of the wonderful things that some stores offer,
and -when they go to get them, they don't find them. When they drop in here they seem surprised to
find that we are not "just sold out" of the particular bargain advertised. Our idea of bargain-giving
is not to make money on the transaction, but to make a friend of the purchaser. He will then remember

Alberta Has Its Drawbacks.
JOHN DAT, Or., March 12. (Special.)
After a continuous residence of almost 40
years, J. A. Laycock, ex-County Judge of
Grant County, left the John Day Valley
last Fall and spent a month In the frigid
climate ef tho Alberta country, and an
other month in his former home. In Cali
fornia. The Judge has just returned from
this trip, in which the two extremes of
climate were pretty well tested, and says
he Is satisfied with the conditions that
prevail In the John Day Valley.
Although Alberta Is much heralded as a
stockman's paradise, it has Its drawbacks
In the almost Arctic rigors of its Winters.
The main points of Its advantage -over
this, as a stock country, are the wide and
open ranges and wide markets". Large
shipments of stock are made to the Klon
dike gold fields, while the market Is
steadied by a demand from the Pacific
Coast, the Eastern Canadian provinces
and occasional shipments direct to Liver
pool. But grain Is uncertain, fruits im
possible and lumber products wanting.
