BOOMED
FOR MAYORALTY
New York Reformers Turn to
Trust-Builder for Aid to
Beat Tammany.
HE WOULD CUT OUT WASTE
Financiers Will Try to Force Him to
Accept Nomination Xew ' York
Grows Too Costly to Live In.
Why Tammany Win.
BY I.I.OTT) F. LONERGAX
NEW TORK. Aug. 14. (Special.)
Seven prominent members of the Com
: mlttee of One Hundred, backed up by
: a number of prominent financiers and
business men. are preparing to launch
a Mayoralty boom that Is decidedly out
of the ordinary, for the name of their
candidate is J. Pierpont Morgan, the
financier, -who Is known all over the
Klobe.
It is a peculiar campaign, for they
do not say that their man will accept.
It is a doubtful fight, because the best
'of political experts will not say
whether Mr. Morgan would be an Ideal
candidate or a sure loser, while the
wealth and standing of the man add
unusual features to the case. In many
respects it is more remarkable than the
boom for Theodore Roosevelt which
was launched a while ago and promptly
died, because no one. believed he would
take the office.
l"p- to date the boom has been con
fined to taxpayers' organizations and
small weekly papers which reflect their
views. The promoters say, however,
that if they receive proper encourage
ment the "Morgan boom" will make a
noise like a nomination.
City Too Costly to Live In.
Here Is the way the matter looks to
one of the leaders In the movement. He
is vice-president of one of the biggest
trust companies In the city, and has
never been active In politics except as
a cheerful giver around election times.
He says:
"The coming campaign must be
fought along entirely new lines. We
are rapidly educating the people so
that they see there is graft and waste
In practically every department of the
city government. Besides this, the new
tax rate, the highest in the history of
the city, means new burdens to every
householder.
"New York is rapidly Increasing In
; wealth, but municipal expenses are ln
: creasing at a faster rate. Men who
have studied the situation and realise
i what we are coming to view the future
I with concern.
"With 10 years more of Tammany
Hall It is an absolute fact thaf only
the very rich could afford to live on
Manhattan Island. Excessive rents and
the tunnels under the North River have
driven thousands of families to New
Jersey. Real estate agents who have
charge of flats renting from 15 to $75
a month state tenants by the hundreds
have refused to renew leases, which ex
pire on October 1. Only the cheap East
Fide tenements are filled up, and there
the rents have been raised.
"Increased taxation ultimately comes
out of the man who hires a home, and
at present rentals are out of proportion
to the incomes of householders. Thou
sands and thousands of salaried em
ployes pay over half they receive to
the landlord. It Is too much of a strain
and Impossible to keep up.
"The only way to reform present con
ditions is to run the city on an economi
cal basis. The only method of securing
this Is to elect a Mayor who will run
municipal affairs along sane business
lines."
Morgan Would Stop Waste.
Tan anybody doubt that J. Pierpont
Morgan Is the man to fill the bill? He
Is the leading financier of the world, and
has tackled harder problems and carried
them to success.
"Were he in the Mayor's chair, need
less extravagances would be blocked and
our finances placed on a firm basis. Four
years of Morpan would bo worth 11,000,
i to New York."
This gentleman was asked whether he
or his friends had any assurances that
Mr. Morgan would accept the position,
to which he replied, after a moment's
hesitation:
"It 14 unnecessary to say that he Is not
a candidate In the common acceptance
cf the term. But Mr. Morgan has proven
In the past thaf he is a good citizen and
ready to suffer discomfort to aid the com
munity. Although I am not authorized
to speak for him. Iam convinced that he
iould be Induced to accept a unanimous
jicmination If shown that it was his duty
to do so.
"How better could he round out a busy,
useful life than by lending his splendid
talents to the aid of his city? But it is
rather early fo talk about that now. We
rmist first bring about his nomination."
Old line politicians are stupefied, by
the "Morgan boom." It Is without paral
lel In municiixil politics, and they do not
know what to make of It.
Tammany Man Puzzled.
"Little Tim" Sullivan Is regarded as
rne of the shrewdest Judgrs of local poll-tli-al
conditions. He-is vice-president of
the Board of Aldermen and high In the
council of Tammany. When asked for
an expression of opinion on the matter,
said frankly:
"Honestly. I cannot tell you what kind
c-f a candidate J. Pierpont Morgan would
m-ikc. He might run well because of his
business standing, his wealth and his
friends. On the other hand, the trust
Issue might make him the worst beaten
man in local history. Anyway. I don't
frelleve he will take the nomination.
"This talk about Morgan shws one thing
Very clearly, and that Is the Pusionlsts
re having trouble to find candidate.
Tammany will win in a walk this Fall.
What Sullivan says about the lack of
candidates is a fact, and one that Is caus
ivg much concern In the fusion camp.
Many of the leaders also believe that the
"issues'" which have been presented up
to date. Important though they may be.
re beyond the comprehension of the
average voter. And It is the "average
voters" who decide elections.
Source of Tammany's Strength.
The Evening World, which Is frankly
anti-Tammany, had an Interesting editor
ial the other day entitled. "Where Tam
many's Strength Is." It told of the an
nual outing of the Amsterdam Demo
cratic Club, the organization in the 15th
Assembly district, and described the
hands, games and meals at the grove In
College Point. Then the writer went on
'"what Leader Haran of the 15th district
Is doing Is a sample of what every Tam
many district leader does on a greater
cr le"s scale. He makes himself part of
the social life of the district. He com
Mnea politics and recreation, politics and
t.'ie nome. politics and the family.
It is the district leader's duty to see
that the rent la paid, that there Is coal
T In the Winter time and Ice in the Summer.
I jiat the boya get atarled at work, that
the fathers have Jobs, that the girls
marry, that the churches are prosperous,
that the police and police courts are
lenient-
Suppose that the tax rate has gone up,
how many of the members of the Amster
dam Democratic Club and their families
realize the amount in dollars and cents It
means to them in higher rent and costlier
food ?
Suppose the city government is Ineffi
cient, unintelligent and wasteful, the
Board of Estimate is a far-off body. Not
one in a 100 voters could give the names
of its members or its duties and powers.
A brass band, an excursion, a balloon
ascension, an all-day lunch and a parade
are tangible things. They appeal to the
eve. the ear and the taste. To hava a
friend in power who will Intercede at
the police court, who will dispense intel
ligent charitv. who will act as adviser,
protector and friend that is equally tan
gible and most valuable.
And the fusion workers are beginning
to realize that they cannot win a mu
nicipal election if their only ammuni
tion is dry statistics.
They need a good, active Issue, and
a man who Is looked up to.
Banker Morgan's friends, it might
be added, are convinced that he Is the
man and can be relied upon to supply
the Issue.

BAKER CITY IS WORRIED
Fears Abandonment of Contested
Irrigation Scheme.
BAKER CITY, Or.. Aug. 14. (Special.)
Considerable anxles. exists here over
the decision of the State Board of Con
trol In reierence to the rights of the two
companies who are contesting for pos
session of the Thief Valley Irrigation
project. The Almlrall-Jacobs Company
continues to work about 50 men In sur
veying the tract northeast of Baker City

the Cookingham-Thacher people, who
claim a prior right to the property, have
ceased operation and disbanded their sur
veying crews.
It is stated through the Cookingham
Thacher employes that sufficient in
formation was obtained and the contour
defined In such a way that it will not be
necessary to progress farther until the
decision Is handed down. The Almirall
Jacobs survey, is so complete in detail
that it will be used by the Government
In case neither of the contesting com
panies put in the project and the Gov
ernment is forced to take up the work.
TRAINS CRASH; ONE DEAD

publio and their families returning from
the encampment at Salt Lake City.
After the crash the passengers in the
rear coaches ran from the train in wild
confusion. The victims were buried In

HUMPHREY ACTIVE
WORKER FOR 1ST
Senior Congressman From Pa
cific Northwest Is Man
Who Does Things.
MUCH IS EXPECTED OF HIM
Other States Besides Washington
Look Forward to His Efforts
in Xext Congress With
Hopefulness.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 14. As ranking Congress
man from the Pacific Northwest, Wil
liam E. Humphrey, of Washington, con
sidering his committee assignments,
will be in position to accomplish much
for his state and section in the regu
lar sessions of the present Congress.
The very fact that he is the senior
member gave him the best committees
ever accorded any Representative from
his Bection, and, having such commit
tees, and enjoying the confidence of the
House leaders, won during his six and
a half years' service, he will be even
more of a factor in the future than he
has been In the past.
The record which Mr. Humphrey
made during the last regular session,
and the special session Just closed, is
one reflecting much credit upon him.
His part in the tariff fight, his fight
against free lumber and free coal, and
his speeches in defense of the Indus
tries of Washington, are of so recent
occurrence as to require no review
now. Some of the other things charged
to his credit, however, things transpir
ing since Mr. Humphrey came to
Washington last December, are here
set forth, as elaborated by Mr. Humph
rey just before he left home.
Subsidy Bill First.
Ship subsidy is the subject that has
been foremost in the mind of Mr.
Humphrey ever since he first came to
Congress. He always has been a great
believer in the upbuilding of the Amer
ican merchant marine, and he always
has favored Government aid In accom
plishing this end. During the 60th
Congress Mr. Humphrey exerted his ut
most influence to secure the passage
of some sort of subsidy bill; he was not
particularly pleased with the so-called
"postal subvention bill." because he
believed it did not go far enough. He
wanted an out ar.d out subsidy bill.
But when It was evident, that such a
measure could not pass, he worked for
the subvention plan, which went down
to defeat.
To keep alive public interest In the
ship-subsidy question, Mr. Humphrey,
during the past Winter and Spring,
made a number of speeches on the sub
ject, including addresses before com
mercial bodies of New York, Cleveland.
Baltimore, Indianapolis, Fall River,
Mass.; Cincinnati, and Bay City. Adrian
and Jackson. Mich. He also made an
address at the dinner given by the
Merchant Marine League to Speaker
Cannon in this city on June 23 last. It
was at this dinner that President Taft
and Speaker Cannon both declared
themselves in favor o a modified ocean
mail subsidy.
The following day Mr. Humphrey in
troduced his latest ship subsidy bill,
which has been referred to the mer
chant marine committee, of which Mr.
Humphrey is ranking member, and
next Winter he will undertake not only
to have his bill reported by the com
mittee, but passed by the House. Mr.
Humphrey will never rest until some
sort of a subsidy bill has been written
into the Federal statutes.
Olympic Preserve His.
None of Mr. Humphrey"s singe-handed
accomplishments last Winter gave him
greater pleasure than the creation of a
Federal game preserve in the Olympic
Mountains. For years he has attempted,
by legislation, to have such a preserve
set aside, but always without success.
The day before President Roosevelt re
tired from office Mr. Humphrey went to
bim with a last request.
"I will do what you want," said the
President impetuously, "but don't bore
me with the- details."
Mr. Humphrey explained that he want
ed the Olympic Mountains converted into
a game preserve.
"It shall be done," said the President,
and the next day it was done, but in
order to make his action conform to the
law, the President ordered the conver
sion of 7.V.0 acres in the heart of the
Olvmpic Mountains into a "National
monument." Game preserves and Na
tional parks can only be created by act
of Congress; National monuments may be
created by Executive order. Y'et in this
instance the National monument Is a
game preserve in all but name. Thus did
Mr. Humrey. with the connivance of
the President, circumvent Congress, and
attain his end.
Later on, Mr. Humphrey hopes to have
this National monument converted into
National park, for not until then will
funds be available for building roads and
otherwise opening up the Olympics to
tourists, campers, etc. As a National
monument, however, the Olympics are as
safe against hunters as If they had been,
by act of Congress, made a huge game
preserve.
Gets Immigration Office.
Speaking of the recent creation of the
office of Commissioner of Immigration
at Seattle, Mr. Humphrey said:
"The establishment of this office is a
demonstration of the fact that in the
eyes of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, Seattle has become one of the
great ports of the country. Mr. Ellis De
Bruler, who was appointed Commlssioner;
is one of my closest friends, and one of
my staunchest political supporters. I am
better pleased over the creation of this
office and the appointment of Mr. De
Bruler than over anything that I have
accomplished of that kind."
Referring to legislation of his which
had been successfully enacted into law.
Mr. Humphrey mentioned his bill grant
ing the privilege of immediate trans
portation on dutiable goods to the pons
of Blaine and Sumas: the bill extending
the time for construction of the Alaska
Short Line Railway, and his amendment
Included in the last river and harbor bill
extending the time In which James A.
Moore may construct the long-delayed
Lake Washington Canal.
Another Humphrey bill which was suc
cessful authorizes the establishment of
two or more fish hatcheries on Puget
Sound. This bill was twice defeated in
the House before final adoption.
TO CHANGE JVIARRIAGE LAW
Bill In Washington House to Rempve
Objectionable Features.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 14. (Spe
cial.) Representative E. L. French, of
Clark County, who is spending Sunday
at his home at Ellsworth, said here to
day that a bill was introduced this week
in the House of Representatives of the
State Legislature by Representative
Ghent which repeals the objectionable
features of the present marriage law.
The bill provides that applicants for a
marriage license, instead of having to
present a physician's certificate which
testifies to their good health, may make
affidavit before the County Auditor, who
Issues marwage licenses, that they are
free from certain diseases specified in
If this bill becomes law, the situation
in Washington with regard to the ex
penses connected with securing a mar
riage license will be the same as it was
before the present marriage law was
enacted; that 1b, it will cost but S3 to
get a marriage license, whereas under
the present law it costs between 118
and $58.
The general sentiment among the
members of the lower house is in favor
of amending the marriage law so as
to get rid of the physical examination
feature and thus put a stop to the de
pletion of the county revenues, which
loss has been heavy throughout the
state since the marriage law went Into
effect, June 10 last.

BAXK EXAMINER GATCH VISITS
LEWISTOX.
Government Official Also There to
Look Up Land-Fraud
Evidence?
LEWISTON. Idaho. Aug. 14. Peyton
Gordon, of Washington, D. C, special
assistant attorney to the United States
Attorney-General, was an arrival here
last night, and stated today that he is
here to examine evidence in the North
Idaho land-fraud cases, in which Kester,
Kettenbach, Dwyer and Robnett were In
volved, and which has attracted atten
tion for the past four years. In some of
the cases above, the defendants were
found guilty, but all were reversed by
the higher courts, and in some instances
remanded for new trial. .Mr. Gordon says
that the cases will be tried again.
Special agents have been here for the
past two months looking up evidence, and
since the' above defendants have been so
closely allied with the Lewiston .National
Bank in the past. It is believed that Mr.
Gordon is also here to look into evidence
surrounding the alleged bank shortage of
more than J130.000 for which C. W. Rob
nett and J. E. Chapman, former employes
of the bank, have been held for Federal
Court trlaL Claude Gatch, National Bank
Examiner, also arrived here last night
and is in conference with Mr. Gordon
today. Special agents are also at the
conference, and this leads to the belief
that both land-fraud cases as well as the
bank-shortage cases will be up for their
consideration.
Mr. Gordon was special prosecutor at
Boise, in the Barber Lumber Company,
of Boise, and Barber Moon, of Wisconsin,
cases, which were recently up before Fed
eral Court at Boise. He expects to re
main here some time.

The Ethics of tfie Prof
roression
Shall a professional man advertise?
The ignorant prejudices which have
existed for years against a professional
man who advertises his business are
rapidly passing away.
It has been a sort of an unwritten law
of the profession that to employ the
columns of the newspaper was a sin
against the sacred ethics of these pro
fessions Fiddlesticks!
The doctors have been trying various
advertising schemes for years and are
still working to draw attention to them
selves and their work.
The old familiar scheme of being
called out of a meeting, church service
or entertainment is an old favorite, and
Inexpensive. It is still being worked.
The lawyer who Is always on tap for
an oration on any subject under the sun
and the preacher who chooses lurid sub
jects for texts, and the dentist who fre
quents lodges and church festivals and
makes a generous distribution of his
business cards, are all employing left
handed methods of advertising, nd
show that "the professions" as a whole
are only awaiting the leadership of
some strong Moses In their ranks who
believes in advertising and has the
courage of his convictions to lead them
into the limelight of newspaper pub-
"vf'ii'en we had made sufficient practi
cal tests of the Alveolar method of put
ting teeth in the jaws, without plates or
ordinary brldgework, to know that this
method was going to work a revolution
tn dentistry we decided to give our In
vention the widest publicity possible.
There is only one way of reaching the
multitude, and that Is through the pub
lic press, and we decided on that plan.
The dignified (?) way. to be sure, the
ethical plan, would have been to con
fine this wonderful method to the few
who could afford to pay a big price for
such work, and "keep it dark," but it
would have been a selfish plan.
If we couid publish some of the grate
ful letters we have received from pa
tients who have traveled to our offices
from remote parts of this country to
have this beautiful work done you would
sav we had done a great service to the
whole people when we decided to go
contrary to the ethics of the profession
and advertise the wonders of Alveolar
dentistry.
If you have passed snap Judgment on
us and condemned us because we have
had the courage of our convictions, give
us a fair trial, come to our office and
let us prove oui ability to put teeth In
your mouth without a plate or bridge
Briefly the ALVEOLAR METHOD is
as follows:
If any one is wearing a partial plate
or bridge, and has two or more teeth
left in either Jaw, we will supply a full
set. without using plates, thm will be
practically as firm in the jaws as na
ture's teeth and as permanent.
We cure loose teeth and make them
"The work is practically painless and
carries our guarantee of satisfaction.
The ALVEOLAR method is not prac
ticed outside of our office. We own the
