OREGON GOVERNMENTAL
PLAN TOLD IN BOOK
Oregon City Man Writes in Detail Concerning System in Vogue in State
and Points Out Advantages and Disadvantages.
-I :
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 24. (Spe
cial.) The first copies of "Where
the People Rule," the first treatise talc
ins up thoroughly every detail of the
Oregon system of government, have been ,
received here by Gilbert L. Hedges,
the author, from the publishers,
Bender-Moss Company, of San Fran
cisco. The book takes up the Oregon
system of government, consisting of
the Initiative, the referendum, the re
call, and the direct primary. It has
the thoroughness and exactness of a
text book, but is free from involved
phrasing.
Mr. Hedges'- purpose seems to be a
desire to explain thoroughly the Ore
gon system of government and the
greater part of the book is devoted
to a complete explanation of its work
ings with here and there a conclusion
or a comment drawn to show opinion
of the author. Mr. Hedges does not
attempt to condemn or to praise the
system.
The book is divided into five
chapters, each one taking up some
Important development in the system
of government. The first chapter is
entitled "Initiative and Referendum"
and describes, the growth of the plan
through the time it was adopted and
amended until it became a substantial
part of the state's constitution. The
next two chapters, "Initiative and
Referendum in the Courts" and "Ini
tiative and Referendum in Practice,"
comprise an exhaustive study of the
workings of the Initiative and referen
dum. Such chapter subheads as: "Veto
Power of the Governor. Petitions.
'Restricting the Legislature." "Muni
cipal Legislation," "Preparing Meas
ures," "Circulating Petitions," "Cam
paigning," Number of Votes Cast," and
others show the scope of these two
chapters.
Every line in chapters II and III
contains information which is of -vital
Importance to the voter who wishes
to have a thorough knowledge of the

plan of government under which he
lives.
The fourth chapter takes up the
direct primary and as thoroughly as
in the previous chapters develops
every phase of the law.
In the chapter on recall Mr. Hedges
takes up in detail every recent recall
election held in the state. The author
conflnes himself merely to a historical
account and Its relation to -the study
of the subject at hand.
In the last chapter Jn the book Mr.
Hedges enters into an open discus
sion of the merits and faults of the
system as they appear to him. The
chapter suggests, possible remedies for
present evils and gives briefly the
points favoring the various changes.
HOT LUNCH AT SCHOOL
LANE STUDENTS SHOW ut'ICK RE
SULTS FROH EXPERIMENT.
Meal Cooked oa Classroom Stove Pre
pared and Served by Girls in
Turn Proves Success.
EUGENE, Or, Oct. 24. (Special.)
Four rural schools on the Siusla-w River
serve hot lunches for the students each
noon, doing away with the cold meals.
The children eat more heartily, more
slowly and more carefully, and their
noonday lunch brings them together
into better social contact, rather than
sending them off Into corners to gulp
down the contents of a lunchbasket.
The innovation tried out In the four
mountain schools has produced remark
able results, according to Miss Jennie
Bossen, supervisor of the school dis
trict covering the western end of Lane
County.
Stomach trouble has disappeared
among the children, and according to
the report of the teachers who have
watched for results, the school work
is better and the children are not so
restless nor appear to become tired so
quickly. The experiment in the Noti.
Kapleton, Walton and Acme schools is
considered an entire success.
Each child brings his own napkin,
epoon, knife, fork, bowl and plate. And
each washes his own dishes. Two girls
are selected each day to serve the
lunch, which may consist of soup, some
vegetable or meat, all of which is
brought to school by the students, or
grown in the school gardens. Nearly
all, especially the girls, assist in the
preparation of the lunch. .
"The boys will spend half an hour to
eat their lunches, says Miss Bossen,
"where before they would eat them ir
five or 10 minutes. There is a spirit
of fun about it. and, incidentally, the
children are taught table manners and
domestic science in school. Each of the
schools keeps as part of the school
equipment several pots and kettles. The
school heating-stove is used as the
cooking range. The results are such
that other schools expect to adopt this
plan.
In the rural schools, where the stu
dents have to come from one to three
miles each day, nearly all have to
bring their lunches.
While here Miss Bossen told of the
erection of a new Bchoolhouse on the
upper North Fork, and of the installs
tion of heating plants in the schools at
Chicahominy and at Noti. Miss Bossen
is the supervisor who succeeded Miss
Goldie Van Biber, and the two virtually
have built up a modern school system
in a wild mountain district where few
schools existed only a few years ago.

of this great country, no city so large, no village so small
but that some woman has written words of thanks for health
restored by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. .No

should rest until she has given this famous remedy a trial.
Lydia E. Pinlrfiam's Vegetable Compound
Wonderful Case on the Pacific Coast.
Independence, Oregoii. " I was sick with
what four doctors called Nervous Prostration,
was treated by them for several years, would
be better for a while then back in the old way
again. I had palpitation of the heart very
bad, fainting spells, and was so nervous that
a spoon dropping to the floor would nearly
kill me, could not lift the slightest weight
without making me sick; in fact was about
as sick and miserable as a person could be.
I saw your medicines advertised and thought
! I would try them, and am so thankful I did
for they helped me at once. I took about a
dozen bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound and also used the Sanative
Wash. Since then I have used them when
ever I have felt sick. Your remedies are the
only doctor I employ. You are at liberty to
publish this letter." Mrs. W. Stephenson,

Hodgdon.'Me. "I feel it a duty I owe
to all suffering women to tell what Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for
me. One year ago I found myself a terri
ble sufferer. I had pains in both sides and
such a soreness I could scarcely straighten
up at times. My back ached, I had no ap
petite and was so nervous I could not sleep,
then I would be so tired mornings that I
could scarcely get around. It seemed almost
impossible to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would be any better until I
submitted to an operation. I commenced
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and soon felt like a new woman. I
had no pains, slept wellx had good appetite
and was fat and could do almost all my own
work for a family of four. I shall always feel
that I owe my good health to your medicine.'!
Mrs Hayward Sowers, Hodgdon, Me.
For over 30 years JLydla K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this famous medicine made from roots and herbs, it has restored so many Buffering: women to health.

Superintendent Maxwell's- annual ad
dress to the New York Public School
Associate and District Superintendents
and Principals in the auditorium of Ue
Witt Clinton High School. His remarks
were heartily applauded. He spoke
with great earnestness.
"We have assembled," he said, "at a
season when Austria, Belgium, Eng
land, France. Germany, Russia and
Servia are plunged into the desolation
of war. To the lookers-on, as we are,
its aspects have by no one been more
weightily expressed than by the late
PontlnT, Pius X, in the message he ad
dressed to the world with his dying
breath. What should be the attitude
of teachers in the classroom toward
this tremendous calamity that has be
fallen the human race?
'In at least one of our sister cities, if
we are to believe the newspapers, all
mention of the war is forbidden in th
classroom. Even the teaching of the
geography of Europe Is forbidden while
the war lasts. I have no sympathy with
a position of this kind. Children who
have reached the age at which they can
read the newspapers are neither made
nor kept virtuous by preserving silence
in the classroom regarding what they
and all the rest of the world know, at
least vaguely, and beyond a doubt igno
rant! y
"What. then, is the duty of the
teacher in the treatment of this war?
This question must have an answer
first on the negative side and then on
the affirmative side.
"On the negative side we should say
to our teachers: 1'ou must not express
any opinion regarding the causes ox th-s
