YOU WANT the BEST
The proper care of your teeth is of the greatest importance.
The skill of your dentist means everything. Unskilled work
is dear even if you get it for nothing. Don't trifle with matters
of importance.
CROWN AND BRIDGE WORK
When satisfactorily performed, requires the highest grade of
skill. Any bungler can attempt it ; only scientific dentists can
produce results in this line of work that are lasting. This and
all other branches of the profession have been brought to the
highest state of perfection at this office. When you entrust
me with your work you take no chances. IT IS THE BEST.
This is not an idle boast ; it is substantiated by the best citizens
in Portland and Oregon. Skill, gentleness, promptness and .
reasonable prices are the foundation on which I have built the
largest dental practice in the Northwest.

QUALITY RATHER THAN NUMBERS TO BE DESIRED IN
RAISING CHILDREN, SAYS MRS. SARAH PLATT DECKER
r
TWO VIEWS OX RACE SUICIDE.
"More children. Race suicide 1b a
menace to the Nation." Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States.
"Fewer children. More attention
to their mental, moral And physi
cal fiber, and the Nation will take
care of Itself." Mrs. Parah Platt
Decker. President of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
According to Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker,
official head of all the federated woman's
clubs of the United States, the much
applauded slogan of President Roosevelt
against "race suicide" and for the pro
duction of more children Is short-sighted,
thoughtless, mistaken and directly op
posed to " the betterment of the Nation
throiigh its coming generation, offering
an aggravation, rather than a remedy, to
the real menace that threatens the Na
tion. "Applied to the childless homes of the
wealthy," said Mrs. Piatt Decker In an
Interview, "the President's race suicide
warning mighty seem to be warranted, but
the wealthy homes and the cliildless
homes are far in the minority in this big
Nation of ours; the menace to the Na
tional citizenship is not to be looked for
there Go among the homes of the poor
and you will find the real menace little
children swarming everywhere, unkempt,
uncared-for. running wild In the streets,
with little mental or moral training. sub
jected to all "manner of evil and criminal
influence, and, despite our splendid public
school system, growing up In ignorance.
"The conscientious seeker after truth
who thoroughly investigates the deplora
ble conditions surrounding the childhood
of any of our large cities will find that
the great trouble Is not the scarcity of
children but too many children.
Material for Prisons.
"From the homes of the shiftless, of the
Immoral, of the drunken and the dis
couraged, little children pour forth into
the streets, frequently impaired both
physically and mentally and with an al
ready warped moral sense; they absorb
from others of their own kind and from
external sources all manner of evil ten
dencies, and of these comes the great m&
Jorlty of our criminals, filling our jails
end penitentiaries
"Through the West this evil Is being
grappled with by the Juvenile Courts, and
the splendid work of these courts is doing
much to combat the great social error of
too many children. It Is the prime pur
pose of the Juvenile Court to give indi
vidual attention to the boy or girl who
comes within its jurisdiction to deal with
that child's individual moral nature, and
to try in so doing to develop Its Individ
ual sense of right and wrong as It should
have been developed by its- parents. The
' statistics of tho Juvenile Courts will show
that the great majority of child crimi
nals comfi from large families, where the
children have been so many that little
Individual care or training could be given
to each: where the unfortunate mother,
worn out physically with the burden of
continually bearing children, discouraged
hy poverty, with her morai responsibili
ties of motherhood blunted by the great
clamor of her brood and the hopeless
ness of ever being more than, a mere In-,
cubator for the production of more chil
dren, has Joined with the shiftless father
In the vice of drunkenness.
"Children coming from such homes, born
in squalor and vice, and finding more In
the streets, could not do other than be
come criminal or imbecile, and the same
Is true, in lesser degree, of the children
who come in large broods even from the
home where some brave woman struggles
hard with a mother's responsibilities,
fighting against poverty and discourage
ment and striving her very best to Incul
cate good morals In her children. Her
task Is too great, for her brood is too
large, and the call of the street too
. strong. Were the number of -her children
less, her own strength would be more, she
would have less work to do, more means
with which to provide, and more time to
give to the moral training of the citizens
she Is giving to the Nation."

President." The mother, who carried her
youngest In her arms, was not yet 28
years old, and because there had been
no money for a dentist, her smile showed
only two teeth, ' these discolored and un
sightly. This family lived In a two-room

MRS. SARAH PLATT DECKER.
Such instances as these are pointed out
by Mrs. Decker in support of her conten
tion that the President's cry for "more
children" is shortsighted, thoughtless and
mistaken.
The famous slogan of John Alexander
Dowie. "A child every year for every
woman in Zion," Mrs. Decker also con
demns, characterizing it as brutal and
atrocious, and declaring that its fulfill
ment would be a crime against society,
a brutality and an insult to woman
hood, and a death-blow to all the tender
and loving Influences of motherhood.
"After all," says Mrs. Decker, "the
matter of reproduction is not one to be
regulated, either by the President's en
thusiasm or by any attitude that the
Federated Women's Clubs might take on
the matter, but through our clubs and
the Individual efforts of our clubwomen
we are going to make our greatest fight
for the enlightenment of Ignorant moth
ers and the education and moral uplift
of the growing girls of the Nation, and
this in the end will count against the
indiscriminate bringing into the world
of children; it will count aganst merely
numerical glory In the census of American
childhood, will make for a higher mental,
moral and nhysical standard in the com
ing generation. The offense of the child
less society may be a matter for rebuke,
but that of the man and woman re
sponsible for a brood of from efght to
13, without means for their proper care
and training. In my opinion. Is a matter
for much more serious consideration."
Somehow He Just Can't
Leave Portland
"The Jamaica Coon" Would Like to
'Oblige Judge Cameioa, But Fates
Decree to the Contrary.
H SIMMONS, more familiarly known
as "the Jamaica Coon." has been
trying to get away from Portland for
three weeks, assisted by Municipal Judge
Cameron, but fate seems against him.
and he is again in the City Jail, this
time charged with contempt of court.
Three weeks ago Simmons was arrested
on a charge of vagrancy, but managed to
get a chance to leave the city. He said
he would go at once, but instead of keep
ing his promise he returned the next day
and was given a suspended sentence. He
again tried to get away, but the gods
willed otherwise, and he showed up again
later.
Simmons made his last desperate at
tempt to get out of this city when he
hired himself to the O. R. & N. Company
as a "flunky" In the dining-car service,
but In this endeavor to get away from
Portland he "fell down" also.
Things went well with Simmons until
he was aggravated by a thoughtless pas
senger who entered the diner and found
some fault with the waiter. The latter
unceremoniously extended to the passen
ger a cordial Invitation to take a Journey
to a redhot climate, to which Invitation
the passenger objected, and his objection
was sustained by the dining-car con
ductor, who had Simmons put off- at Ar
lington. Simmons was held at- Arlington uatU
the Incoming passenger train arrived,
when he was taken aboard and brought
to Portland. At the Union Depot he
fell Into the custody of Patrolman Welch,
and will be arraigned before Judge Came
ron Monday morning on a charge of con
tempt of court in falling to succeed In
getting out of Portland.
DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP.

bring the retail sale to an end next Sat

power of the sale with the people. The

which is one-half retail price, and In
many cases less. The stock consists of
over 10,000 garments, men's and boys'

Cow Eats an Umbrella
and Lives.
Boat Side Bovine Sends Gotham's
OmBlTcroni Goats to the Back
Seats.
GOATS are credited with relishing
garments found on the family
clothesline, but there is a remarkable
cow on the East Side which goes them
one better. This bovine not long ago.
It Is said, ate an umbrella, cloth, steel
ribs and all. and is still allve.
N. P. Tomlinson. a well-known pio
neer of the East Side, Is authority for
the story, and declares that It is true.
He says the cow that has the hun
griest of goats "faded" belongs to one
of his tenants on East Salmon and
Twenty-fourth streets.
According to Mr. Tomlinson. the
owner of the cow noticed that the ani
mal was not giving as much milk as
she could under ordinary conditions,
and began prying around to discover
the trouble. Yesterday he made a close
examination of "bossle," and to his as
tonishment discovered a steel um
brella rib protruding from her side, He
pulled It out.
A few days ago an umbrella was
missed from the backyard where the
cow was wtnt to graze. The owner
firmly believes that the cow "wanted a
novelty in her diet and selected the
umbrejla for a change. .
Advises Taming Little Savages.
JAMESVILIsE. Wis.. Nov. Z. Every
girl and boy Is a savage at some time
or other, according to President Hughes
of P.lpon College, who made such declara
tion yesterday In an address to 1000 teach
ers attending the meeting of the Southern
Wisconsin Association. Furthermore, ev
ery child has the right to be as savage as
It pleases, he said. Continuing. President
Hughes said:
"The real master is the one who does
not kill this spirit in the child, but get
ting in sympathy with It leads It out. To
so teach, no new programme Is needed
or changed curriculum. All that Is neces
sary Is to love the savage, for all ages
must be developed In order that the com
plete man will result. We must respect
eelfhood."
