Unless something develops to inter
lrp with the present plans, the peopl
of Portland will be given an oppor
tunlty at the primary nominating elec
tion in April to vote on the question of
adoption of a commission form of gov
ernment for this city.
As things stand, nothing but the in
jection of the so-called Wood short
charter or some such instrument as
that, which defeated the "official" char
ter last election, can deprive the voters
of the direct vote on changing the form
of government.
Mayor Rushlight and V. C. lienbow
liave agreed to a plan whrreby Mr. Ben
bow's charter will not be put on the
ballot, as he was for a time demanding,
but he is to withhold it and some of
the points upon which he Insists are to
be incorporated in the "official" charter
and it alone is to be submitted for
vol
The Mayor Intends calling a meeting
or the members of the old "official
charter commission for the purpose of
going over the Benbow draft and
sorting certain features of it in the
"official" charter. With these Included,
Mr. Benbow and his friends will sup
port the charter.

Whether the advocates nT the "short
charter, compiled by C. K. S. Wood et
al.. n ill again go into court to have
that Instrument put on the ballot Is
unknown, but, if they do. it is the plan
to make a bi tight on it and to have a
general campaign among the improve
xnent clubs and other organisations for
the "official" charter. The City (Coun

The iSreater East Side Association,
composed of delegates from civic ini

night In the Hotel Clifford, indorsed
the official commission charter, pro
vided a few amendments are made to
the original draft to conform to pre
visions in the Benbow charter. This
action was. taken on the recommenda
tion of Mr. Benbow, wno drafted the
Benbow aharter.
Mr. Benbaw addressed the associa
tion on the commission form declaring
that he was not wedded so closely to
the Benbow charter as to Insist on it
at the risk of defeating the commis

Henbon Invokes Aid.
"The official commission charter,"
said Mr. Benbow, "will be again sub
mitted to he vote of the people at
the city election In June. Of course.
If the so-called Benbow charter should
also be submitted it would mean de
feat of tho charter idea,, and that Is
something I do not want to happen. 1
favor the commission form and be
cause I may not be able to get my
Idea lined entirely I don't want the
principle defeated. The promoters of
the official charter have agreed to
make a few changes. They have agreed
to make It read that all contracts shall
be let to the lowest responsible bidder
and bonds shall be sold to the highest
bidder, which is not in the original
charter. Also the charter will read so
that the present franchises will not
be affirmed. However, they declined
to change the manner of granting
franchises so that the people shall have
their grnntinjj but that is a matter!
which will bo submitted specially to ;
a vote of the people. With these
changes I think we should support the
charter. It will tiive us a commission
government and that is what we all
want"

from this association to take up the
matter of inserting the changes whfch
Mr. Benbow paid had been agreed to.

VTVERSITY OF ORKGOX, Kngene. I
Jan. IS. In every county In Ore
gon except one Lake there ure
students doing work at this university
There was a student In Lake County,;
but he completed his course.
Laborers, sawmill hands, loggers,
erks, ministers of the gospel, mes
senger boys, farmers and farm hands.
housekeepers in great numbers and
teachers, lawyers, one bank clerk, and
section hands on the railroad are regu
larly enrolled members of the student
body of the University of Oregon.
Many of these have never seen the
campus at Kugene. Many have never
met the professor at whose commands
they are burning the midnight oil. None
of them has ever worn the dinky little
green cap of the freshman or gone
wild shouting '"osky-wow-wow," and
mnnv might not even recognize tne
college yell. Nevertheless, the univer
sity has no more faithful students than
he scattered legion which, in all parts
of the state. Is doing work in the de
partment of correspondence study.
Correspondence Conran Good,
The correspondence study movement
has grown up almost unnoticed. Miss
Mozelle Hair, secretary of the extension
department, addressed the faculty of
the University at its "colloquium" meet-
ng this week and sketched the mag
nitude the work had attained. Many of
the faculty had long been giving their
spare time to correcting correspondence
papers and writing to their distant
adult students, but few realized the
aggregate amount that was being ac
complished by the whole body. An ex
perience meeting followed in which
manr related instances of determined
truggles for self-education in remote
places.
Students may come to college for
many reasons, some earnestly seeking
nowledge and some merely because
hey are sent. The correspondence stu
dent, on the other hand, enrolls for
just one purpose work. There are i
more than 300 now, and the professors
who handle their papers are agreed j
that they go at their work with a bull-
og tenacity and earnest purpose that
would be more than a credit to the
tudents-in-residence at any university
in the land.
Logger Studies Literature.
One sawmill hand is studying Eng
lish. Another puts in his leisure hours
fth a college algebra, gradually
equipping himself with a knowledge of
mathematics. A laborer is studying in
order to become a surveyor. One man
who works for wages in a logging
camp is becoming weti-reaa in tne His
tory of Oregon, while another In a dif
ferent part of the state is studying
literature. A messenger boy is taking

subjects which he hopes -will make up
his deficiencies of preparation and en
able him to enter the University as a
regular student-in-resldence.
Ministers, of whom there are several
on the roll, specialize principally in
literature and history" to enable them
to speak with a fuller and more exact
knowledge when they face audiences.
A farmer is enrolled as a student of
botany and several farmhands are tak
ing; various subjects, principally with
the hope of some day entering college.
Allen Is Creditable Student.
To enumerate the branches studied
by housekeepers and school teachers
would be to give almost the whole list
of the subjects offered. For many
teachers, the university offers the only
hope of passing examinations, holding
on to their means of livelihood, or ob
taining promotion. Clerks, a bank
teller, and lawyers give most of their
attention to economics, political sci
ence, money and banking and such sub
jects. One of the best students is a
section hand on the railroad, a man of
foreign birth who has become a cred
itable student of the English language.
There are more than a dozen univer
sities In the United States giving cor
respondence courses but none that has
any considerable enrollment so tar irom
the facilities of higher education as
the rural workers in many of the less
accessible portions of Oregon. When
the University of Oregon established
this department' In 1907. it was In re
.sponse to a noticeable demand. . It has
grown practically without advertising
and without funds, supported by the
fact that members of the faculty have
been willing to devote to it their leis
ure hours, until now it takes no prophet
to see the time when the University of
Oregon will have more students away
from the campus than in residence.
AbaentceH at Disadvantage.
Work is not made easy for the dis
tant student. He has to answer every
nuestion his instructor asks, while the
student-in-residence often escapes such
searching examination because the
Questions are divided among different
members of the class. The helpful hint
that is given so freely in the class
room is. with the correspondence stu
dent and his professor, a matter of
writing at least a letter apiece, and a
delay of several days. For these rea
sons, it takes a candidate a long time
to earn a full-grade college credit in
this way. Out of more than 300 hard
working students last year only 51 ob
tuh)ed certificates of completion. The
remainder are still "plugging" away
under difficulties not easily appreciated
by one whose education is furnished
him as a gift.
The University of Oregon is the most
liberal of all colleges in the terms on
which correspondence students are tak
en. The registration lee or V tails
short of paying the postage and sta
tionery the university uses In writing
to the student and tne cost oi tne ex
tension Monitor, the little monthly
magazine that keeps the absent stu
dents in touch with each other and
with the university.
Variety of Courses Taken.
Among the courses in which students
are now enrolled are: Algeora, Botany,
physics, English classics, English com
position, Oregon nistory, pnysioiogy
plane geometry, solid geometry, ad
vanced algebra, analytic geometry,
analytical mechanics, British poets.

GERMAN DISCIPLINE STRICT
Heroism of Man Is Kcwardcd With
Prison Sentence.
BERLIN. Jan. IS. (Special.) The
one unpardonable crime in Germany is
resistance to constituted authority, and
especially to military authority. Sen
tences of imprisonment for most misde
meanors and felonies are on the aver
aire extremely llsrht. compared to the
sentences imposed In American courts,
but the soldier who disobeys the order
of his superior officer, or the civilian
who disobt'ya a policeman, may be sure
of a punishment out of all comparison
to that inflicted for really nrrave crimes.
That the order disobeyed was Illegal
or inhuman makes no difference in
practice, although legally anyone is
Justificed in disobeyinar an order to do
a wrongful act. The leftal aspect van
ishes when the matter is one of uphold
ing authority, and the culprit is pun
ished severely on general principles.
The latest case illustrative of this is
reported from Kast Prussia. Reservists
had been called in for 14 days' practice,
and durinjr. this period aviators gave
an exhibition. The crowd Insisted on
breaking throu-rn th barriers sur
rounding the aviation field and an un
der officer ordered a draproon to ride
his horse into the crowd. Gustav
Pieper. a reservist who happened to be
in the crowd, seeing- women and chil
dren threatened by the charging horse,
seised the bridle and held the animal,
lie has just been sentenced to seven
inonth imprisonment.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 18. (Special.)
The Influx of Winter visitors
from the Northwest and from the
East this year was most inopportune
ly limed, for many of them struck a
spell of weather worse than that they
had run away from at their own homes.
The crimp put In the citrus Industry
Is serious.
In the San Bernardino. Redlands and
Riverside districts, on the three coldest
days, every orange grower passed his
nights "smudging" his groves and his
days mournfully comparing notes with
his neighbors and telling them how
the climate waa changing. Front re
liable sources in the heart of the
orange district It was learned beyond
question that from SO to SO per cent
of the orange crop in Ean Bernardino
and Riverside Counties was ruined and
the big shippers aaid frankly that not
an orange would be shipped from the
two counties this year. Other districts
fared about as bad.
Other Industries Offer Hope.
Despite the Indisputable facts, the
real estate men are shouting that the
orange crop was not seriously damaged
ana that even if tne oranges oia xreeze
thev will not be Injured. There is
hopeful sign, however, in this lsjid of
perpetual boosting, and that is that a
large number of people agree with
Frank Wiggins, the veteran secretary
of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, that it is foolish to dispute the
facts and that It Is far better to point
to the fact that Southern California
has other industries and virtues than
orange growing and climate. Wiggins
issued a statement soon after the
freeze pointing out many important
industries, producing millions annual
ly, that were not affected by the
freeze.
Dr. J. Whltromb Brougher, former
pastor of the White Temple In Port
land, and who still calls Portland his
home, is having his troubles with love.
It is not the scriptural kind of love
that is bothering Mr. Brougher. And
to combat this love affliction that is
troubling Dr. Brougher he has been
appointed a parole officer by Judge
Hutton of the Superior Court and has
assumed charge of the young man,
Francis Olson, whose love for Miss
Anne Overland, a teacher In a local
kindergarten, was wo great that he
couldn't keep from expressing bis de
votion, j
Olson was so persistent In tha face1
of objections that he was finally
rested and examined as to his sanity.
lie was officially found to be as sane I possible task to convince him
to keep away if the young lady did not
wish to see him. It seems an almost lin
gs anyone on every possible FUDject
except that relating to his heart. The
Court pondered for some time on the
question whether great love was ail
ferent from Insanity.
Olson Is a member of the Y. M. C.
A. and a member of Dr. Brougher's
church. He is not of the swash-buck-
line type of heroes of fiction. He
stolidly told the members of the lunacy
commission that he would not and
could not give up his love for Miss
Overland. Whereupon Judge Hutton
ordered the young man's friends to
place him in a private sanitarium for
a month. It was the court s iaea mat
if at the end of a month the young
man apperaed cured the insanity pro
ceedings would be dropped; but if he
was still obsessed with the idea that
the way to win a woman's heart is
by dogging her footsteps, then he was
to be sent to an asylum for an in
definite period.
But Olson refused to go to a sani
tarium. Dr. Brougher and other friends
of the young man told the court they
would endeavor to have him placed un
der proper restraint. Olson was haled
Into court again, for he refused even to
promise to keep away from Miss Over
land. He loved her and always would
love her. he said, although Miss Over
land told him repeatedly in private
and at least in open court that his
love was hopeless, as she was engaged
to marry another man. Finally Olson
promised to be good, but he begged
Miss Overland In the courtroom not to
ignore him if they met on the streets.
Young; AVomaa Lenient.
"I will speak to you, certainly," she
replied, "but I will not converse with
you and you must not call me up on
the phone or write to me."
Dr. Brougher was determined upon
by the court for the parole officer to
have charge of Olson and try to cure
him of his Infatuation. Dr. Brougher
has had several interviews with the
young man and tried to show him the
folly of persisting in forcing his at
tentions upon any young woman who
does not wish to receive them. "I have
tried to help in this strange tangle,"
said Pr. Brougher, "but I have not been
able to accomplish much. Olson con
fessed to me his love for Miss Overland
and asked my advice before it came to
the attention of the courts. I told him
Dr. John Bcntzien, assistant pastor of
the Temple Baptist Church, also a for
mer Portland clergyman, recently of
ficiated at an interesting wedding,
untting two young people who made
love and planned the wedding by wire
less telephone. Even the proposal was
made "through the air" when the young
man and his sweetheart were 30 miles
apart.
Air Transmits Proposal.
Kendall Douglas, a Long Beach
youth, was the groom. One day as he
sat with the . complicated receiver of
the wireless telephone apparatus at his
ear he heard a voice. It was that of a
girl In Los Angeles. He had invented
the apparatus and was testing it; he
had arranged with her to speak to him
at this certain minute and he sat with
the receiver awaiting the trial of the
instrument, which had been duplicated
at the home of the young woman.
When she spoke, he answered he was
sure the telephone was a success. Then
he dared say into the air the words he
had never dared to utter when in her
presence.
It did not occur to either that there
was danger of eavesdropping. Miss
Katherine Thorpe accepted young
Douglas on the spot. And it is related
that C. H. Kessler and R. H. Shimek,
wireless operators on the Pacific Mail
liner San Jose, a hundred miles off the
coast, bound from Panama to San
Francisco, were -bewildered at hearing
the proposal through their Instrument.
They declare they did not lose a word
of the fond exchange, though when
they reached Kan Francisco they re
fused to tell the waterfront reporters
what the "fellow talking to his sweet
heart by wireless telephone" said.
As;ed Oregon Woman Wetli,
Still a third former Portland
preacher, now located In Los Angeles,
had an interesting experience the other
day when ha united In marriage an
Oregon woman and her sweetheart. Dr.
Charles Kdward Locke, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, was called
upon to perform the marriage ceremony
for Mrs. Lncinda C. Taylor, of Salem
and SUverton, Oregon, and Reuben
Stroud, a wealthy farmer of Alhambra.
The bride confessed to 60 years, and
the groom is 72 years old.
"Now take care of this girl." was Dr.
Locke's advice to the bridegroom
after the ceremony.
Mrs. Stroud, who as Mrs. Taylor was
prominent in club and church circles
in her Oregon home, and president of
the W. C. T. U. there, first met Stroud
about a year ago. The friendship that
started then grew into love and all
reckoning of age was soon forgotten,
so they confessed in Dr. Locke's study.
The newly-weds have gone to Florida
for their honeymoon.
An interesting TV inter visitor now
spending a few months here is Thomas
Ranahan, of Boise, Idaho, who was a
familiar character here when Los An
geles was a pueblo. He is accompanied
by his wife and is showing her points
of Interest that he remembers from the
time he drove a stage between here
and Santa Barbara before the coming of
the railroad.
Karly Days Recalled.
Ranahan was for years a scout on
the plains under General Forsythe,
rider of the pony express and a driver
on the Overland and Santa Fe stage
lines. During his days on the plains as
a scout he was associated with Buffalo
Bill, Wild Bill and others who became
famous through the Indian wars. He
was driver of the stage out of Atchison
Kan, on- June 9, 1866, which was the
last mall stage that ever crossed the
plains on the Overland route.
In his discussion of his early West
ern experiences Ranahan relates many
incidents of California during the year
1874, at which time he handled "the
ribbons" for the stage company that
operated between Los Angeles and
Santa Barbara. He tells of the races
that the stage company ran with the
little coastwise vessels with which it
competed between the two points. The
objective point of the stage company
was Soledad. then the terminus of the
railroad from San Francisco.

to Mrs. Carney here, but on his body a

Mrs. Carney says she "was afraid of

ARK CRITICISED.
Orecon Constitution as Amended
Provides Widest Discretion In
Justices, Says Duniway.
PORTLAND, Jan. 18. (To the Eli
tor.) There has been a good deal pub
llshed In the papers which is inac
curate about reforming our legal pro
cedure. In The Oregonian January 12,
the address of Judge Carey to the State
Bar Association was published, and it
contains such an incorrect statement
that I am moved to write this letter,
furnishing a correct statement in this
regard.
The part of Judge Carey s address
which I wish to call attention to was
published as follows:
Technicalities held accountable One of
the moit noticeable features of the Ameri
can system Is that the courts here are held
to such strict accountability for error in the
acceDtance or exclusion of evidence in a
trial. Much of the time of the courts is
taken up with the consideration of the tech
nical rules and their application to trial
evidence, whereas, unless It is manifest that
the error is prejudlcal, it undoubtedly should
and would in any proper system of juris
prudence be treated as Inconsequential.
The simple facts are these: For a
great many years the statutes of Ore
gon have provided as follows:
Unon an appeal from a judgment, the
same shall only be reviewed as to questions
of law appearing upon the transcript, and
hall only be reversed or modified lor error
substantially affecting the rlBhts of appel
lant. Lord s Oregon Laws, Sec. 556.
In a note to this section of the code
It is stated as follows, and a very large
number of decisions of our Oregon
Supreme Court cited to support the
statement of the note, to-wit:
Where the trial court erred in the admis
sion of evidence and the Appellate Court
can clearly see that It was impossible for
such evidence to have Injured the appellant.
the judgment will not be reversed.
Thus it ought to appear that for
many years the law of Oregon has not
permitted "technicalities" in the admis-
lon of evidence to injure anybody, and
the statement of Judge Carey Is most
inaccurate and unjust.
In order to carry this non-technical
doctrine further, in 1910, article 7 of
the Constitution of Oregon was amend
ed, and this provision Inserted:
Until otherwise provided by law, upon
appeal of any case to the Supreme Court,
either party may have attached to the bill
f exceptions tne wnoie testimony, the In
structions of the court to the Jury, and any
other matter material to the decision of the
1 1 lh. RunrnmA Onpt shall h.
opinion, after consideration of aSl the mat
ters tnua suDmittea, mat me judgment or
the court appealed from was such as should
have been rendered In the case, such Judg
ment shall be affirmed notwithstanding any
error committed during the trial; or if. in
any respect, the Judgment appealed from
should be changed, and the Supreme Court
shall be ot opinion that It can determine
what Judgment should have been entered in
the court below, it shall direct such Judg
ment to be entered in the same manner and
with like effect as decrees are now entered
in equity cases on appeal to the Supreme
Court: provided, that nothing In this sec
tion shall be construed to authorize the
Supreme Court to find the defendant in a
criminal case guilty of an offense for which
a greater penalty is pro-ided than that of
which the accused was convicted in the
lower court.
I wish to point out that our Consti
tution, as amended, now provides the
widest discretion in our Supreme Court
and permits our Supreme Court to say
that In its opinion a Judgment appealed
from shall be affirmed notwithstand
ing any error committed during the
trial, or to further say, that the judg
ment appealed from In any respect
should be changed, and that it will de
termine the change and direct said
judgment to bo entered, with the only
limitation being that nothing in the
above section of the constitution shall
be construed to authorize the Supreme
Court to find the defendant in a crim
inal case guilty of an offense for which
a greater penalty is provided than that
which the accused was convicted in
the lower court.
An examination of the recent opin
ions In the Supreme Court will show
that the Supreme Court has availed It
self to a great extent of the power
thus conferred upon the court-

the admission or rejection of evidence
is the good common sense of the par
ticular court before which the ques
tion arises, with no method provided of
etting precedents which shall be of
any future value in other cases.
The tirades about the "technicali
ties of the law," which have been pub
lished for so many years, have been
successful in making a great change
in the judicial system of Oregon.
Those who are dissatisfied with the
present judicial system of Oregon
should point out the "reforms" which
they have succeeded in bringing into
the constitution and judicial system of
Oregon, and point out that they are
not satisfied with the said "reforms."
but want further and other and dif
ferent "reforms" worked upon the "re
forms" which they have succeeded in
obtaining in the recent past.
The charge of "technicality" is the
refuge of the careless, the Incompe
tent, the party who has violated tne
law.
In order to have any civilized gov
ernment there must be rules of law
which are binding on every one, in
cluding the courts; and there must be
courts which will enforce said rules of
law impartially upon every one, even
upon themselves.
In time we will return to a govern
ment of law.
