THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. APRIL 7. 1907.
HANDS TIED BY
CIVIL SERVICE
Mayor Pledged to Spoils Sys
tem Would Find Himself
in Sad Plight.
DEMOCRATS OVERLOOK LAW
Rejoice Over Thomas letter Prom
ising Fat Jobs to Faithful,
but Fall to See Very T,argP
Fly In Ointment.
, The anti-Lan Democrats are Jubl
' lant. They have jyalned their point and
tare now pointing: with pride to George
iE Thomas as the great Democratic
' Moses, who, if elected, will lead his
peo.pl Into tfhe promised land and fill
the municipal offices with the faithful.
, Already some of the so-called party
leaders who have been knocking at the
' portals of the City Hall ever since Mayor
has been In offlco, are looking
with covetous eyes on the berths now
filled by others than Democrats.
Chairman Thomas' letter, read at the
turbulent meeting on Friday night.
: was food and drink to the hungry
' office-seekers. They now know that
' Thomas is a Democrat who believes In
party organization, which is another
way of saying. "To the victors belong
the spoils, ' and the faithful are of the
' opinion that when, the Democratic
chairman Is Mayor, their knocks will
I be heard, and thai the "23" sign will
I be pinned to the Republicans who are
now drawing salaries from the city.
That part of Chairman Thomas' let
; ter which is most pleasing to the antl-
Tjane element reads:
T believe in organizaiion. Rvery busi
ness house is organized to succeed. If
organization t not a good thing, why is
the Republican party organized? If th
' Republican partv is not made strong by
giving thp clerkships In the City Hall and
Courthouse to lt.s party workers, why
are tli ere no Democrats holding those
cWkships? If orsanlzation amounts to
nothing, why did Dr. Tane seek a Dem
ocratic partisan nomination two years
ago?
Brings Joy to the Faithful.
Interpreted by the hungry Jefferson
lann, this .part of the Thomas letter
ma?ifi that a Democratic Mayor should
provide Democratic officeholders. They
look fnr Thomas to do that which they
claim Mayor Lane has not done
place the followers of his party In
office. Rut ths Innocents It's best
to rail them Innocents know nothing
. of the Civil Service system under
which the city government is run. and
Still believe In the spoils system, which
was once In vogue. Really, therefore,
they are little short of lawbreakers. In
their eagerness to obtain offices, and
to elect a man who promises to appoint
only strict partisans to office, they
forget that Civil service was adopted
by the people for the express purpose
of abolishing the Hpollw system. They
forget that a Mayor who is elected to
office is sworn to enforce the Civil
Service law. just as he is sworn to en
forc t lie laws against era m hi In g.
These partisans also forget there Is
but one position In the city service
that Is entirely in the hands of the
Mayor, and that Is the City Knglneer.
The Chief of Police Is not under Civil
Service, nor are the employee of the
Health Dep.i rt mont. but the Mayor
dne.s not control these appointments, as
they are made by the Executive and
Tfealtli Hoards. They also forget that
the charter prohibit! the Mayor from
dealing out minor city offices to bis
political henchmen, and any Mayor at
tempting to do tills would bo liable to
Impeachment and removal from office.
Thoma' Hands Are Tied.
N'ow. where Is the Joy to pome from?
If Thomas Is lucky enough to he elect
ed, he must obey this law. He must
not even promise. In exchange for
votes, any city office. Those who have
studied the workings of the Civil Serv
ice well know this, although it is
very evident that many of the Demo
cratic politicians and candidates do.
not. In the campaign of two years
ago. d candidate for the Council wrote
letters to city employes, saying that if
he were elected he would se that their
pa y was Increased. It was lucky for
this candidate that h was defeated,
for he might have found himself not
only deprived of his office. but in
crtoua t roti hi e .-, well.
Without quest ion. cand idates often
make campaign promised to their
friends. Tt has been done, and, from
all accounts. Is being dne In the pres
ent campaign. Those who are making
thesp pledges, however, would do well
to make themselves familiar with sec
tion 323 of the Civil Service law. Tt
comes under the head of. "Bribery
Public. Officer. Defined." Here it Is:
"Section 323. Whoever, being a pub
lic officer or being In nomination for.
or while seeking a nomination or ap
pointment for. any public office, shall
use, or promise o use, whether directly
or Indirectly, any official authority or
Influence (whether then possessed or
merely anticipated) In the way of con
ferring upon eny person, or In order to
secure or aid any person to secure any
office or appointment In the publio
service, or any nomination, confirma
tion or promotion, or Increase of sal
ary on consideration that the vote,
political influence or action of the last
named person or any other shall bo
given or used In behalf of any candi
date, officer or political party or
association, or upon any other corrupt
condition or consideration, shall be
deemed guilty of bribery or an attempt
at bribery.
Law Call U Bribery.
"And whoever, being a- public officer
or employe, or having or claiming to
have any authority or Influence for or
affer ting the nomination, public em
ployment, confirmation, promotion, re
moval or increase or decrease of salary
of any public officer or employee, shall
corruptly use, or promise or threaten
to use. any such authority or Influence,
directly or indirectly. In order to coerce
or persuade the political vote or action
of any citizen, or the removal, dis

more than tlOOO. or to be Imprisoned
Rot less than 10 days or more than
two years, or to both said fine and said
Imprisonment. In the discretion of the

"IT the person convicted be a public

years thereafter. The phrase 'public
officer" shall be held to include all pub
lic officials within" this city, whether
paid directly or indirectly from the
public treasury of the state or of the
United States, or from that of any civil
division thereof, including counties,
cities and towns and whether by fees
or otherwise; and the phrase 'public
employes' shall be held to Include
every person not being an officer who
Is paid from any said treasury."
LAWYERS MUST DECIDE IT
Question Arises as to Date of Clos
ing Registration.
The date of closing the registration
books at the Courthouse is a matter that
will have to be passed upon by the au
thorities. Whether the books must -be
shut next Saturday, or not until the
Monday following, is yet to be deter
mined, for the law on the subject is not
exactly clear. According to the city
charter, the registration hooka must be
kept open for a period of 90 days, im
mediately preceding April 15. The date
for closing thus fails on Sunday this
year. If the books are closed Saturday,
the registration period will have ex
tended only through 2ft days, whereas,
should they be opened on Monday, the
limit will have been exceeded by one
day.
County Clerk Fields said yesterday that
he would submit the Question to City At
torney McNary. .
Registrations have not been so heavy
as two years ago. Up to yesterday a

THOMAS ENTERS THE RACE
Follows Programme of Democratic
Club and Announces Candidacy.
Anti-Lane Democrats Won
der What Mayor Will Do.
On Democratic candidate has entered
the race for Major and one of the much-talked-of
Republican candidates has with
drawn. Colonel Charles E. McDonell,
whose friends have been urging him to
take a hand In the primary race for
weeks past, yesterday announced that he
would not enter the race. George H.
Thomas, following out the programme
which the Joint meeting of the Young
Men's Iemocratic Club and the Multno
mah Democratic Club carried out on Fri
day night, announced his candidacy yes
terday. McDonell s retirement will leave in the
struggle for the Republican vote for
Mayor Dan Kellaher. Thomas C. Devlin.
John B. Coffey and Iouis Zimmerman. All
have hied their petitions and all are work
ing like beavers, and from all indications
the flght between these candidates will
be fast and furious. Chairman Thomas
enters the race from the" Democratic
party, because the so-called leaders with
out any trimmings told Mayor Lane that
he was not an available candidate. On
the strength of tills statement coming
from the Democratic chairman. Mayor
Iane sent his famous letter, which has
been puzzling the anti-Lane Democrats
ever since. Even the Democrats who are
shoving Thomas to trie front are still a
bit timid about expressing themselves
upon what the future attitude of Iine
will be. They have made up their minds
to one thing, and that is that T.ane will be
an independent candidate, yet they are
still fearful that, after all. his mma
will find Its way on the regular Demo
cratic ballot, dome optimists are still of
the opinion that the present trouble In the
Democratic ranks will blow over and that
Thomas will have on the ticket with him
as a running mate Mayor Lane.
While there will be some interest In
the Democratic situation.' the chief inter
est in the coming primaries will be in the
battle between the Republicans. This will
be the last week In which those who have
not registered can do so. Friday night,
when the last report was made, there had
teen 708 new registrations and R22 changes
of residence. Of these S35 were Republic
ans as against 131 Democrats. There are
42 Independents, socialists and prohlbl
tionlstc. A surprising thing about the great num
ber of changes in residents Is the fact
that most of them have moved to the
Bast Side. The total registration from
the East Side when the books were closed
last year was IsmS. as asainst 10.379 on
the West Side. But when the vote was
counted, In June, a greater number of
votes was polled across the river than
on the West Side.
Wise politicians who were jolted a bit
over the way the East Side voted last
year will watch that section of the city
during the coming primaries. The old
saw about getting a good vote from across
the river and then depending upon the
big vote from this side will no longer be
the watchword. Now it is go after the
votes where they are. One politician who
has had occasion to watch the vote from
the Bast Side predicts that the vote from
over the river will 'be increased by over
10W.
All this is giving the supporters of Dan
Kellaher great comfort. They say that he
will get the lion's share of the votes cast
at the primaries on the East Side, and
that with this big majority he stands a
good chance of receiving, the nomination.
For weeks before Kellaher made his dec
laration his frierds were busy feeling out
the voters across the river, and It was
not, they say. until they were assured of
the biff following that tiie present City
Councilman had that they Anally per
suaded him to enter the primaries.
Coffey. Devlin and Zimmerman are
busy. Colonel McDoncll's dropping out of
the race will make considerable difference,
but Jst where he will ask his friends to
do their work is not known.

ELIMINATES BRIDGE TAX
FRKK WATER AMENDMENT IN
CLUDES REFORM.
f H. 1. Wagnon, Father of Measure,
Asserts Present System Is Un
just to Small Taxpayers.
By . the proposed free water amend
ment to the city charter the special
tax for bridge building; in Portland
would be done away with. This fact
developed yesterday and Is declared by
H. D. Wagnon, father of the measure,
to be due not to an oversight, but to
be the Intention of the framers of the
amendment. It is intended by those
who are supporting the measure to
change the method of raising money
for bridge construction, as well as to
radically revise the water system.
The portion of section 114 of the
charter, which provides for the levy
ing of a 2-miII tax for a bridge fund.
Is omitted from the free water bill.
Therefore If this measure is enacted
there will be no authorization for the
building of bridges by general taxa
tion. This is In accordance with the
Intention of the men who drew up the
bill, ns they regard the present method
as unsatisfactory.
"We do not believe that a general
tax is the proper means of raising
money for -bridge building," said Mr.
Wagnon last night. "By this method
people who are In no way benefited
are taxed just as much for the con
struction of a bridge as those whom
the bridge will serve. We consider
this feature of the charter bad and
have drawn our bill to eliminate It.
"It would be much more fair if
bridges were constructed by district
assessment. In that way the expense
would be borne by the property bene
fited. People who live at Sellwood.
for instance, would not have to pay
for bridges In South l-ortland. As a
general rule the land most benefited
by the bridging of gulches through
out the city is owned by rich people.
Under the present system they bear
far less than their just proportion of
the burden."

Four Attempts in Three Days
to Burn Carleton Hotel.
GUESTS- FLEE IN TERROR
Incendiary Acts With Extreme Bold
ness, but Is Not Seen Police
Are Called and Special
Watchmen Posted.
A sensational and daring series of at
tempts to Ivurn down the Carston Hotel,
a four-story structure at Thirteenth and
Alder streets, occupied in large part by
families, was called- to the attention of
the police yesterday and is now being in
vestigated. Four flres have been kindled
there in three days, two In the basement,
one In a clothes closet on the first floor
and the other in the room of a Chinese
employe on the second floor.
Because of the attempts at destruction
of tho house, the hotel lost the majority
of its tenants yeserday, as when tha
fourth blaze was discovered and the alarm
spread the tenants became so terror
stricken that they began at once to call
in expressmen and large numbers moved
immediately to other quarters.
The first fire started yesterday was at
U A. M.. and the second one occurred at
i P. M. Thus far the landlady. Mn.
R. B. Gilllngham. and her employes have
been able to extinguish the flames with
out the aid of the fire department and
without serious damage, but In each in
stance the entire structure has been en
dangered and the lived of the 100 guests,
men. women and children, have been
placed in jeopardy.
Alarmed at the persistence of the Incen
diary, and startled at the boldness of his
operations, Mrs. Gilllngham called Act
ing Detective Tlchenor, of the police de
partment, and laid the case before him.
The facts as gathered by the officers were
embodied in a written report to Captain
of Detectives Bruin, who assigned Act
ing Detective Price to make a full inves
tigation, Tlchenor being engaged on an
other important case.
From what the police detectives have
been able to ascertain, th daring at
tempts to burn down tho Carlton are
chargeable to spite work, and suspicion
is directed toward a discharged employe,
according to Acting Detective Price.
Owing to the persistency and extraordi
nary txjldness of the incendiary, special
watchmen have been engaged to try to
capture him. The Carlton has experienced
two serious fires within the past year,
one of which was sufficient to force the
proprietor ro close the place.
PROMINENT LODGE WORKER
Mrs. Clara Knott to Represent Ore

Mrs. Clara Knott, of this city, who

CUT THIS OUT
A Recipe for Consumption and
the Quick Cure of Coughs
and Colds
A nbted Philadelphia specialist states
that consumption in every case comeg
from weak lungs, which are- sometimes
inherited, hut more often result from a
neglected cough or cold.
Lungs weakened by nature or Inflamma
tion afford a lodging place for the tubercle
germ and consumption follows. This Is
the whole thing in brief as stated by the
great specialist. He gives a formula
which has proven wonderfully effective
m the speedy cure of all throat and iung
troubles and it Is frequently said will
cure a bad cold in Zi hours. The formula
Is the following: '"Glycerine, two ounces;
concentrated oil of pine, one-half ounce;
whisky, half pint: mix and shake thor
oughly: use in tablespoon doses every
four hours." The ingredients are obtain
able from any igood prescription druggist
and can easily be mixed at home.
The concentrated oil of pine Is a com
paratively new product, but waa wel
comed by physicians on account of Its
soluble, a quality long sought.
Care Bhould be taken to make sure to
get the "concentrated," which always
comes put up In half-ounce bottles in
closed in round screw-top cases intended
to protect the oil from heat and light
and retain its full strength of ozone.
Patent medicines of similar names put
out by chemical companies and bulk oils
should be avoided. If a person keeps the
physical organs in a healthy condition
they need fear no distress, and a cough
or cold should be checked at once, or tt
will surely lead to serious complications.

Guaranteed Clothes for Mel
STORIES of "exclusive patterns"
and "costly handwork" don't
interest me any more.
I've read the advertisements
And I've worn the clothes.
So now I say "Guaranteed Clothes
for me!"
Besides I can get in Guaranteed
Clothes Kaufman Garments, at
$15.00 to $18.00 the suit virtues and
merits that can't be had in other
clothes no matter how much you
pay.
And I've found that "style" style
that stays "style" and makes a man
look the "swell dresser" always is
not a matter of "costly hand work"
nor of "excluslveness."
Kaufman Garments 15. tos18.
Staying style depends on permanence
of shape.
And "permanence of shape'' de
pends on "shrinkage."
Wool will shrink more than any
other cloth fibre.
And, unless this "shrink tendency"
is overcome before it is made up into
garments 'why, of course, it is there
to make trouble after the clothes are
on your back.
The first time dampness hits your
"nobby"' coat, it gets busy with the
"shrink tendency" of the cloth and
you suffer from "hump shoulder"
"pocket sag" "lapel curl"
"chest tightness" ' 'armhole gouge"
"trouser bag" and the other com
mon clothes defects.
Now, the shrink problem is " up to "
