WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ROOT But Poor Health Will Prevent Cor teljou Beyond Depth Bonaparte a Misfit and Metcalf a Joke Among Sailors. OREGONIAN NEW3 BUREAU. Wash ington, June 30. Few of the members of President Roosevelt's Cabinet will be retained as advisers to W. H. Taft when he moves Into the White House, If he should be elected President. The new .Administration will start with a prac tically new Cabinet. Of those now sit ting at the Cabinet boaru, not- more than two will be members of the next Cabinet. There will be new;Jieads of the State Department, Treasury Department, War Department, Department, of Justice, Navy Department, Agricultural Department and Department of Commerce and Labor. Postmaster-General Meyer will be a member of Mr. Taft's Cab'net, if he cares to, though he may not remain in the Postoffice Department, and Secretary G-trtield can continue in his 'present of fice, if it so pleasi.s him. But with thesn two exceptions, there will be a new deal all around. One exception should be made in the case of the War Department. As Luke E. Wright was chosen as Mr. Taft's suc cessor on the latter's own recommenda tion, it Is- certain he will remain in the new Cabinet. Koot May Ascend Bench. Were it not for poor health, Secretary Root would probably continue as Secre tary of State. Mr. Taft would be great ly pleased If Mr. Root would remain, and will tender him the office. But the duties of Secretary of State are quite heavy, particularly when' the occupant of the office Is extremely conscientious, as Mr. Root has been, and the tax is more than he cares to bear. Mr. Root's friends say he would accept appointment in Mr. Taft's Cabinet If, he thought his health would permit him to serve the full four years, but- he does not -care to serve there for only a part of the Ad ministration. Moreover, there is pros pect that there may be a vacancy In the Chief Justiceship of the United States Supreme Court during the next Admin istration, and, if that should occur, Mr. Root is slated for the vacancy. The du ties of Chief Justice are far less trying than those of Secretary of State, and it is thought Mr. Root could don the ermine without detriment to his health. Mr. Root will be 63 years old when the new administration opens, and would have but a short time to serve-as 'Chief1 Justice, before being retired. "- ; ; Drop Cortelyou 'Qhlckljv'" v Mr. Taft has never been numbered among the ardent ad,mJreia -Of jGeorge -B.' , Cortelyou. He appreciates his good qual ities, but he has always-inclined to the opinion, very prevalent among . publ2 men, that Mr. Cortelyou' has got beyond his depth and Is not by training, equipped to . preside over the Federal ' treasure-; box. As a Governmental administrative officer, Mr. Cortelyou is most efficient, but a Secretary of the Treasury, to prop erly fill the office, according to the Ideas of Mr. Taft, should have had long train ing In matters of finance. This Mr. Cor telyou has not had. Moreover, Mr. cor telyou, since he managed the Republican campaign of 1904, has been on too inti li.nto terms with J. Pierpont Morgan and other Wall-street "captains of industry" to please Mr. Taft, who is anxious that his Secretary of the Treasury shall not afford the slighted opportunity for set ting up the cry that he manipulates the Treasury Department at the dictation of Wall Btreet. Therefore, Mr. Cortelyou will not be a member of the new Cab inet. When Charles J. Bonaparte retires from the Department of Justice on March 4, 1S09, his public career will end. Mr. Bona parte Is a misfit In the Cabinet and would have retired long since, but for the dis turbance that might have followed in Maryland. The President wants to see Maryland In the Republican column next November, and that Is why he has al lowed Mr. Bonaparte to hold on so long. Were It not for this one fact Mr. Bona parte would have gone back to the prac tice of law long, long ago. In Maryland Republican circles he Is a powerful fac tor, and It was daetned Inexpedient to let him out when to do so would be to alien ate the votes of many of his admirers. It has, been noted on many occasions during the' past year that Mr. Bonaparte has worked at cross purposes with the Admin istration, and his continuance in the Cabinet has only been possible by trans ferring to the -. White House many of the powers that should be exercised by the Attorney-General. As a matter of fact, Mr. Bonaparte has lately been little more than a figurehead, but he will cease to be even that on March 4. Metcalf a Joke to the Xavy. The other weak member .of the Cabinet is Victor H. Metcalf, Secretary of th Navy. If ever a man got into an office where he did not belong, he is that man. Kven ,now he does not know the differ ence between a water-tight bulkhead and the armor belt of a battleship. Those who have business to transact with Mr. Met calf pity-him-If he Is called upon to ini tiate action in his own department. He does not know what to do or how to do it. He Is overridden by his bureau chiefs, and even the policies of his department are shaped by his subordinates save In such Instances as the President himself takes a hand. In- official circles, Mr. Met calf is a Joke that Is, Mr. Metcalf, the Secretary. There are hundreds of men better equipped to preside over the Navy Dtpartment. and some one of the number will bo chosen aftr March 4. Personally and socially;- Mr. Metcalf is all that could bs asked of any Cabinet member, but of ficially he is impossible. It was no kind ness to Mr. Metcalf to appoint him to a Cabinet office: that was the one wrong President Roosevelt did his California friend. Farmer Wilson Has Enough. Since the Department of Agriculture, was formed, it nevr had a Secretary as practical and as efficient as James Wil son, of Iowa. True, Mn Wilson has made mistakes, hut who would not In a record breaking Cabinet term of 12 years, stretching over three full administrations. Mr. Wilson's few mistakes will be forgot ten when his many beneficial accomplish ments are remembered. Mr. Wilson suc ceeded, primarily, because he had had a farmer's training and "knew the busi ness." Moreover, he was a practical man not a theorist. He Tcnew what the farm ers needed and he undertook to supply their wants. It would take many -a thousand words to sum up the good work that has been done by the Department of Agriculture since Mr. Wilson came to its head,. Having broken all previous Cab inet records and being conscious of a long record of work well done; Mr. Wil son will retire voluntarily at the close of the Roosevelt Administration. His suc cessor will have great difficulty In equal ing the success of "Tama Jim." Straus Anxious to Quit. It is understood to be the desire of Sec retary Straus to relinquish the duties of Secretary of Commerce and Labor at the close of the present administration. Mr. Straus took this office at great financial loss, because he was desirous of seeing tne immigration service placed on a hhrh er plane with more efficient administra tion. .Ever since he entered the Cabinet. Mr. Straus has given his best attention to the Immigration service and has seen lnau gurated many of the reforms he deemed so essential. Having accomplished this much, It Is reported that he Is now ready to retire that is. when the Roosevelt ad ministration retiree. Meyer Has Two Hobbles. If Postmaster General Meyer consents to remain in the Cabinet, he is very likely to be promoted to the Treasury Depart ment, to succeed Mr. Cortelyou. Mr. Meyer and Mr. Taft are very good friends, and. the future President is fully aware of the abilities of the Postmaster- General. Only one thing would keep Mr. Meyer in the Postoffice Department. He Is the foremost advocate of a parcels post law and postal savings bank law and, if he believed that by remaining In his present position he could further these two pieces of legislation, he would put aside personal ambition, which might carry him higher, and stay where he is. Garfield Likely to Stay. One of Mr. Taft's most ardent support ers in Ohio Is Secretary Garfield, of the Interior Department. Since he succeeded Mr. Hitchcock, Mr. Garfield has acquired a very comprehensive idea of the woik OREiJON BOY INSTRUCTOR IN CHEMISTRY AT ANN ARBOR. i ' &t ' I t " '" f 'fc . rn Warren Forsytlie, of Enterprise. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis. June 20. (Spe cial.) Warren Forsythe of En terprise, Or., a member of the class of '07 at O. A. C, has been elected instructor physiological chemistry in the University of Michigan. He spent the past year at " the University- of ; Ann Arbor, and, though he was not a candidate for it, was given the PQffitioji oyer several candidates. He took 'a :degree in pharmacy at Michigan this year. He was elect ed to a position in the depart-: .ment of chemistry at O. A. C. but li declined it to accept the place-at Ann Aroor of the Interior Department, having per sonally studied the work on the ground where it originates. He is an intense man and, now that he Is thoroughly In terested, It Is quite likely that he would desire to continue In his present position. If he wants to stay, he can. His wish is law In that matter. The changes to be made at the begin ning of the new administration will not be in the nature of removal of present officials and the appointment of substi tutes. The terms of all Cabinet officers will expire on March 4, 1909, and there being an entirely new administration, the new President will have the unhampered right to appoint as Cabinet officers such men as he chooses. The fact that a man is a member of Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet gives him no claim to a reappointment, merely because Mr. Roosevelt favors Mr. Taft. If he goes into the White Houee, Mr. Taft will have the same liber ty In the selection of Cabinet officers as would belong to Mr. Roosevelt's bitterest enemy, or to a Democratic President. Mr. Taft is not under obligations to any mem ber of the present Cabinet, save Garfield, for his nomination; all will support him at the election because he is the party's choice. Being under no obligation to any save one, Mr. Taft can very properly pick new material for his advisory bpard. Madam W'u and Students Arrive. SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. Madame Wu Ting Fang, the wife of the Chinese Minister at . Washington, arrived today on the Pacific Mall liner Mongolia. She was accompanied by several servants. A number of students who will enter schools in this country were also in her party. The Chinese Consul and promi nent Chinese of the local colony erected Madame Wu, who will remain several days at the Fairnjont Hotel before pro ceeding to Washington. YIELDS JO KAISER Head of House of Gjuelph Ceases Fight for Throne. GERMAN ARMY GETS SON Duke of Cumberland by Allowing Enlistment Recognizes Emperor as Ruler of Former Klng - dom of Hanover. . BERLIN, June 20. (Special.) A young man of 21 entering the German army In September next will be the most important political event in Ger many for many years. The young man is a Prince, to be sure, but there' is nothing extraordinary in that, for Princes' by the score have entered the army before and nothing been thought of it. What makes the event inter esting Is the fact that the Prince in question Is' the son of Duke Ernest August of Cumberland, head of the House of Guelph, and for many years an- enemy of the Kaiser and claimant to the- throne of the old kingdom of Hanover, which was wiped out of ex istence and made a Prussian province because its inhabitants took sides with Austria in 1866. Ever since the death of his father the Duke of Cumberland has avoided every meeting with the Kaiser, and has repeatedly expressed his hate of anything Prussian, and when he now consents to let his second son enter a' German regiment, it means that he ha3 at last given up the fight and is ready lo recognize me jvai6er as ruier oi Hanover, the kingdom of his ancestors. When some weeks ago it was an nounced that the young Prince was about to enter the army, and the Ger man press began to comment upon this, a strong denial was immediately sent out from Gmunden, where the Duke of Cumberland has lived since he was forced to leave Germany. This time there ia no doubt about the truth of the news, for the Duke's marechal of court has Just been re celved in audience by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, and it has been seml-offlclally announced in Munich that the young Prince will enter the dragoon regiment "Prince Karl of Ba varia" as Second Lieutenant some time during September. state is recognized by the promoters of the new line as being expensive and un satisfactory, and It is the hope of the In corporators of the new line to improve tne transportation facilities by the con structlon of a railroad. It cannot be said yet just when work on the projected roaa will be started. . - TROOPS REACH BARRACKS First Infantry Arrives In Good Con dition From Philippines. VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash June 20. (Special.) The First Infantry arrived at the barracks last night, hav ing been transferred to river steamers from the transport Sherman at Astoria. The health of the men is reported to be very good, considering the time spent In the tropical country. The following officers arrived with the regiment: Lieutenant-Colonel James S.

Piano Fupils Appear in Recital TRAVEL HEAVY TO EAST Railroads Report Many Taking Ad vantage of Excursion Rates. Travel over all lines to the East is reported as very heavy by the passenger agents In Portland just now, on account of special round-trip excursion tickets to all points Eaet. Friday and Saturday were sale dates for this business:.- and all the offices were well patronized. The different agents say there Is no sign of unfavorabe financial conditions ' In this section of the ..country, for everybody seems to have money and the number of people going East Is unusually heavy.' In fact, the travel Is much heavier now than at the two earlier sale dates in this month, when many tickets were sold. : Many people were not ready to go earlier in the Spring on account of the Rose- Festival and the coming- of the fleet to the Coast, while others waited until the schools were dismissed for the year. With all these things out of the way, people generally find condltiona 'suitable for making their trips East that they have planned during the past Win ter, s A special car party of delegates to the National convention of credit men at Denver on June 23 left the city Friday night over the O. R. & N. and the D. & R. G. Delegates to the National Demo cratic Convention at Denver will have a special car, leaving Portland July 2, and will travel by the same route. Other special car parties are now being ar ranged by the ticket agents of the vari ous lines. But In addition to these par ties, individual travel Is the heaviest the various offices .have known for some time. BUILD USB FROM SHAXIKO New Company Incorporated With 'Capital or $50,000. A company to build a line of railroad from Shaniko to Prineville and Bend has been formed by Eastern Oregon men under the name of the Central Oregon Railroad Company,, with a capital stock of $60,000. The Incorporators are Alfred F. Biles, F. S. Stanley, Jesse Stearns and Roscoe Howard. Incorporators of the company say the project le not speculative in any sense, nor is it the beginning of any great rail road system, but merely an attempt by the people of Eastern Oregon to secure an outlet for their products. The pres ent cumbersome method of hauling freight by wagons In the Interior of the P,OUR of Miss Dorothea Nash's piano pupils gave a recital last night In the studio of W. Glfford Nash, and those who attended gave cordial In dication of their appreciation of the musical offerings. The soloists were: Mrs. Ralph Miller, and Misses Emellne Powell, Carolyn Friendly and Kittle Jarvls, and all -showed that they had profited by, intelligent instruction. It was a pleasure to hear such a quartet of enthusiastic, talented players, who played for tonal effects rather than mere volume. A notable number was the rendition of the Beethoven Concerto in G major with orchestra parts on second piano. It was also interesting to note the worth of the various Grieg numbers se lected. A Rubinstein "Barcarolle" was played with discriminating taste and sentiment, followed by a Joyous color picture In a- Godard gavotte. The quartet of pianists are all natural mu sicians, who gave a message rather than the mere presentation of a study, and it was added enjoyment when such difficult scores are played from mem ory and , without reference to music scores. ' ; - ' REV. LAPHAM. AND WOMEN Teppery 'Answer to the Portland Minister's Attack on London. -' ARLETA, Or., June 15. (To the Editor.) In reading the sermon of Dr. S. C. Lap ham of the Second Baptist Chifrch, I note that he accuses the women of being re sponsible for the spread of so many new cults, isms. etc.. and gees out of hia way to take a fall out of Jack London. I be lieve he said he would rather have a viper in hla house than a book written by the jolly Jack. Now Jack London U -a particular friend of mine and as he is not present to speak for himself I vi take the liberty to thank the Rev. Lapliam. for the free advertising. And I want also to issue a direct challenge to the reverend gentleman to produce any statement of London's that either wholly or in part can be construed as advocating the destruction of the marriage relation. Such talk from a minister is nauseating. I'll venture that Rev. Lapham has never read a single work of London's. He prob ably got his knowledge of what London ad vocates from tne same source he got tne rest of his so-called sermon, namely an ignor ant mind, coupled with a theological prej udice against anything that bears not the stamp o orthodox authority. I hereby take the opportunity to state that the monogamous marriage relation is not a divine Institution, as Rev. Lapham and many others teach, but is purely a social Institution the fruit of the evolution of society from the tribal, the patriarchal forms, on up to the monogamous relation as it exists today, in theory. If Brother Lapham is not disposed to take my word for the above statement I respectfully re fer him to "Ancient Societ.,, by Lewis H. Morgan, the foremost authority bn thit sub ject. Could also refer him to "Origin of the Family," by ureaencK c.ngei. wnicn is a brief summary of the salient points in the' first mentioned book. A man who knows the truth on this question will not make a spectacle of him self by saying that someone advocates the destruction of the marriage relation, for society has been thousands of years in at taining the present position, and the ef forts of one man will avail but little, work ing against nature. In other words, if that were really what London advocated. It is time wasted to criticise him. But there is something hurting the Rev. Lapham and I rather suspect, that it is FLORAL PARADE FLOAT THAT ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION 1 -xrtm I ZV'HL VVfc - 4.441 -T fthTfiinr-iwf etMw i raj f PIEDMONT'S ENTRY IV ROSE FESTIVAL PAGEANT, AND CHILDREN WHO GAVE "PIEDMONT YELL. 0 gy i Q Th bevunz nig On Sale A 11 Week ecials FIN AXMIN: $2.25 and 31.85 Values After furnishing four big hotels the Cornelius, New Perkins, Heyser and Mercedes we find over 1500 yards of fine Axminster Carpets on our hands as leav ings.

Hon' ever I won't pursue this part of the subject further, but will address a few remarks to that part of the tirade in which the poor, deluded sisters are blamed for every thing that Is wrong. If they are Ignorant. It Is small wonder, since they have depended from time Ira- emorial On just sucn specimen. u Rev. Stanton C. I.apham mr instruction and guidance. Verily. I marvel greatly that the women are as progressive as they are. for the burden they have borne has been a heavy one. and because they have begun to wake up and to take an active interest in the world about them, they are held responsible by Rev. Lapham tand others), for this progress. "No doubt it would please such as he greatly to see a return to the good old time when a woman was con sidered a nonentity and men were supreme in authority: when good, noble women like Ann Hutchison were burned at the stake or banished for asserting the right to wor ship a suited the dictates of conscience; when a woman was a mere drudge, a house keeper and a child bearer, but u not permitted the freedom that she enjoys even now, and I. for one, desire to see that free dom extended until our mothers and wives are free Indeed free to bestow their love on those worthy of it, and not forced intoa loveless marriage- for a home, or to avoid that other terrible alternative. Free love? Yes. for love cannot be bought with a price, now, can it. Lr. Laipham? Pleaae don't confuse the term free lust with the foregoing. The two terms are not synonymous in any sense., In closing I wish to suf.-gest to Dr. Lap ham and all other preachers, th&t if they will confine their discourses to doctrinal subjects they, will not be so liable to get Into deep water, but when they encroach on the domain of science, in any of its branches, to be more precise in their as sertions. They will carry more weight. CHARLES E. KITCHINQ. Critic of Dr. Lapham. PORTLAND. June 17. (To the Editor.) Docs the Rev. Mr. Lapham wish to go on record as a pessimist? A pessimist never succeeds In building up. His remarks In Sunday's sermon would indicate thut he has been a failure and has a fit of the blues. Can we as believers in God and the mission of his Son as the Savior of the world, knowing God to be all powerful, say that the world is growing worse? (t am not a Christian Scientist, but believe in divine truth and Justice toward all.) If the reverend brother will attend the Christian Scientist Church he will find as Intelligent. dlgniHed a congregation as In any orthodox congregation in the city. True, there are more women; .will he show me a congregation at any church where the same is not true? Except in the mis sions in the North End. The disposition or dissipation seems to predominate more In men than in women. , In fact the whole discourse shows a lack of investigation and depth of thought, without a spirit of Justice and an admission that 'God made a mistake when he sent his on into the. world as its Savior and Redeemer, and that some min isters have mistaken their calling lstead of plowing corn to preach the gospel. i When Christ sent his disciples out to preach his gospel his Instructions were to preach his gospel (which was a gospel of love) and heal the sick. As a rule the ministers en deavor only to obey the first part of the .command. A TRUTH STUDENT.- Will Repair Battleship Iowa. WASHINGTIN, June 20.

LA GRANDE, Or.. June 20. (Special.) The struggle 1 in the Circuit Court of this county to determine whether the will of the people or the will of the sa lnonmen shall reign supreme was resumed this afternoon, and for a period of several hours the attorneys for Julius Roesch, a local brewer who secured a tem porary order enjoining the County Court from declaring the local option law In effect, notwithstanding that it carried by a majority of nearly 700, battled In a word war before the court. There are four salient allegations in the complaint filed by Mr. Roesch. namely, that the ac tion of the County Court prior to the election was Irregular, that the clerk's action was Irregular, that the petition praying for the election was insufficient, and lastly that the Sheriff posted the notices Improperly. All but the last charge was thrown out this afternoon.. On the latter issue the court took the matter under advisement, and will render a decision In the near future. Locally,, friends and foes alike of the prohibition question are much excited.
