BOOTH'S EX-PASTOR
TURNS UPON WEST
Rev. Delmer H. Trimble Tells
Governor to Retract, or Con
. sider Respect Lost.
EXECUTIVE'S FRIEND HURT
Minister in letter Resents Attack on
"Clean, Pure, Straight, True"
Candidate He Knows Intimate
ly and Hints at Bad Motive.
One of Governor "West's most ardent
supporters in his vice crusades of the
past Rev. Delmer H. Trimble, until
recently pastor of the Centenary Meth
odist Church In Portland and now pas
tor of the First Methodist Church in
Tacoma in an open letter to the Gov
ernor publicly resents the recent un
warranted attacks against the charac
ter -of Robert A. Booth. Republican
nominee for the -United States Senate,
and calls upon, the Governor to retract
his statements or lose the confidence
that Mr. Trimble had placed In him.
Rev. air. Trimble calls attention to
the fact that for four years he was
Mr. Booth's pastor and that he, prob
ably as well as any other man, is able
to Judge his character.
"He is a clean, pure, straight. Etrong,
true man," is one of the clergyman's
assertions in praise of Mr. Booth. The
Jotter follows:
"To His Excellency Oswald West, Gov
ernor of Oregon:
"Dear Sir It has come to my knowl
edge that in the present campaign you
have been attacking the persons.! char
acter of R. A. Booth, the Republican
nominee for United States Senator for
Oregon.
"I am not a partisan politician. It
lias been my practice for years to exer
cise my suffrage for men and princi
ples rather than party. For this rea
son, 'I have been your supporter while
in Oregon and urged you. as you know,
to stand for re-election to your present
office. I am loathe to believe that I
could have been mistaken in your man
hood or motives. The charges of
demagogtsm and insincerity so gener
ally hurled against you have received
no credence from me. I prefer to be
lieve that in the past you have been
walking the way of rectitude and have
not departed therefrom.
"Now, however, I think I am in a po
sition to know that you have made an
unjust and unwarranted attack upon a
mn's character who is, to say the least,
as much entitled to good character as
yourself. Than this no one can. commit
a greater crime.
"For four years I was the pastor of
It A. Booth. It was my lot to learn
to know him most intimately as a man,
and I flatter myself that I know some
thing about men. During that time the
indictment which had been hung over
him for years was brought to trial. I
Investigated closely the evidence for
Tin $ against, and I know as everyone
else can know who goes into the facts
of the case, that Mr. Booth never should
have been Indicted and that he was ab
solutely innocent of the charges pre
ferred. vjfy relations to Mr. Booth have been
such that . I Judge no other man- on
this planet knows his real character
better, and perhaps only one as well,
and I assert to you as my profound
conviction, and to the electorate of Ore
gon, that he is a clean, pure, straight,
strong, true man, and as a lover of
righteousness he stands unexcelled.
"Your charges against his character
are either consciously or unconsciously
false, and if they are not retracted be
fore the 3d day of November I shall
reluctantly be forced to the conclusion
that my confidence in you has Deen mis
claced and that your career in Oregon
which has again and again won my ad
miration, has not been actuated by the
highest motives.
"DELMER H. TRIMBLE."

The closing down of the sawmills in

felt by the working men and they
place great hope in the election of

defection in the Republican Tanks in

effort for the entire Republican ticket.

Monmouth Is Urged.

Fr Kducation, Thinks C W. Hod-son.
Ing the last year of the Ashland school
there was a registration of 275 students.
Using the report from the present
Monmouth school as a basis (and it is
fair to assume the figures would be
about the same as to make-up), we
find that of the registration for the
present year, as shown by the cata
logue number of the school bulletin for
June, 191, there are 236 women and
24 men; or about 94 per cent of the
registration is made up of men. ' As
Mr. Mulkey was particular to answer
question 7 by saying that "SO per cent
of the men graduating followed teach
ing permanently," he shows conclu
sively that the women do not (and
apparently never intended to) follow
teaching as a life work. Assume, then,
that these men all finish the course
to graduation, ' and that they secure
licenses, and that the proportion ho
mentions follow teaching permanently
instead of becoming lawyers, doctors,
etc. Should the same percentage ob
tain as claimed by Mr. Mulkey for Ash
land, the efforts of the school would
produce 12 real teachers, of about 4
per cent of the whole membership. The
appropriation for the Monmouth school
for the present year is $37,171.30. If
the only permanent teachers are re
cruited from the men, and only BO per
cent of those attending follow teach
ing permanently as a profession, it is
plainly seen that the expense to the
state of educating these permanent
teachers is over $3000 each. It may be
granted that the cost is low enough:
but It should not be granted that the
institutions for turning out these
teachers should be Increased three-fold
to gratify the ambitions of aspiring
communities, and provide facilities for
acquiring college educations, practi
cally under misrepresentation, at the
expense of the state.
If the last year of the Ashland school
produced no more men graduates than
are shown in the Monmouth list of
students this year, the -percentage of
permanent teachers turned out would
be less than 4 per cent of the entire
attendance.
Now. tako the amount of the appro
priation used in the conduct of the
school, and put , it alongside Mulkey's
showing of 50 per. cent of the men
who he says followed teaching per
manently as a profession) and we see
what price we pay for the manufacture
of teachers. Bear In mind that the
purpose of these proposed normal
schools Is to provide trained teacheres
for the schools of the state. That be
ing true, the only real measure of the
success of the enterprise is its product
of "teachers who teach, not those
who get their special education at the
expense of the state, only to follow
teaching temporarily, or until they can
fit themselves to become lawyers, doc
tors, dentists, etc., or, in the case of
the women, supply pin money until the
time arrives for them to be married.
If my memory does not play me
false, I think the record will show the
local attendance in each community
where normal schools formerly existed
to be from one-half to two-thirds of
the whole. In the case of Drain.
was considerably more.
I remember visiting the normals
both Ashland and Weston, and on each
occasion there were "exercises," in
which tho Btudents participated. In
each instance the display of pupils em
braced ages ranging from 6 years to
over 20. Keeping in mind the purpose
of the schools to be the preparation of
teachers, the query pertinently arises,
why the children?
True, the old days have gone, and
the votes of legislative representatives
from school towns are no longer need
ed to elect United States Senators; but
officers of the two houses of the Leg
islature and committee chairmen are
still to be selected.
While a millage tax is sought by. the
present bill, past history shows it will
be but a short time until there will be
pressing need for "more and better ac
commodations for classes, dormitories.
playgrounds, gymnasiums, repairs, ex
tension of work, etc. and then the
Legislature will again be the storm
center. "While one-fortieth of a mill
Is all that Is asked at present, the
measure is silent as to limitation, so
there is no telling what the future de
mands will or may be. In the light of
past experience, the policy for the fu
ture can be plainly foretold.
This move should be avoided.-
We now have a normal school estab
lished at Monmouth. Let the state
make generous appropriations for its
support; make it the equal of any in
the United States; when it is desirable
to extend its field of operations to
Keep abreast of the times, let it be pro
vided with the necessary means; make
it a normal school worthy of the name.
Students who are really seeking to fit
tnemseives for the profession of teach
ing will find ample means of reaching
ana maintaining themselves at -Mon
mouth. For those bent only on avail
ing themselves of the state's generos
lty for tho purpose of securing a col
lege . education under the guise and
pretext of becoming teachers, only to
loiiow that calling until something
more tavoranie presents itself, we need
not concern ourselves. .One who is
earnest in- the desire to become pro
ficient as a teacher, with the purpose
in view of making it a life work, will
not hesitate because of the lack of
normal facilities in the town or neigh-
oornooa in wmch he lives.
I note Mr. Sheldon reports that only
seven students from Southern Oregon
are In attendance at the Monmouth
normal now as against a registration
of 275 at Ashland during the last year
or mat institutions existence, and
uses that statement as an ararumen
for re-establishing a state school there
and at eston. What does his pre
sentation show? Simply that with the
maintaining by the state of a free col
lege at Ashland, students of all ages
of that section will avail themselves of
its opportunities under the guise of
fitting themselves for teaching as
permanent profession, while if no such
school is maintained, that desire ia no
sufficiently strong to Induce more than
i.3 per cent of the last year's attend
ance- there to make the neecssary ef
tort to go to Monmouth, where the fa
cuitles are now amply provided. It is
therefore apparent that Mr. Sheldon'
argument refutes Itself, and also fur
nishes a sufficient answer to any ar
gument that might be made from th
use or Mumey s statistics.
Nos. 313 and 317 should receive th
support or all voters who have th
real interest of prospective teachers
lor our public schools at heart.

PORTLATD. Oct. 30. (To the Edl
tor.): The time is growing very
short in which the voters of the state
can be Informed as to the true inward
ness of the normal school question, and
much that is urged for them consists
largely of expressions of personal in
terest, conjectures and opinions. ,
I regret exceedingly that I failed to
keep the statistics I gathered in 190S
covering the operations and expense of
the several state normals when they
were in the heydey of their power, as
I am compelled now largely to depend
on memory instead of actual records.
However, I may say that the reply of
B. F. Mulkey does not by any manner
of means coincide with the real facts,
as he will learn when full reports are
made from official sources. I know to
a certainty that Drain and Weston did
not present any such percentages as
reported by him, and that the combined
statistics show a far different condi
tion from that presented.
Let us anaylze the showing made by
Ashland, using Mr. Mulkey's own fig
ures. A few days ago a Mr. Sheldon,
who Is advocating the re-establishment
of the schools, reported that dur.

BQTEST IN PICTURE
LAYG ROUND FENCED OFF
Did you ever hear of a Halloween
prank backed, by a meritorious purpose
and one that brought substantial ben
efit to the perpetrators?
Of such character, perhaps, is the
stunt pulled off by the youngsters
of the Ladd School after darkness had
fallen last night.
Disgruntled because their former
playground on the park block just east
of the school had been fenced off by
the city authorities and plastered with
signs which denied them admittance,
the boys got their wits together last
week and forthwith came a string of
cartoons that reminded parents and
teachers of how the famous Homer
Davenport made his start on his fath
er's barn door at Silverton.
In these pictures the boys have
voiced their contempt for the prohibi
tive signs.
It seems that in former years an
arrangement had been in effect be
tween the city officials and the School
Board whereby the boys of the Ladd
School were allowed to play on the
park block bounded by Park. West
Park, Jefferson and Madison streets.
Apparently without the knowledge of
the School Board, the block was fenced
off this Fall and planted to grass in
such a way as to checkmate all possi
bility of play there by the youngsters.
Several members of the School Board
commented upon this action at a recent
meeting and it was plain that they
were not pleased.
As the Laad School children under
stand tho proposition, the action was
taken by the city because the owners
and tenants of nearby apartment-
houses complained of the noise that
they stirred up in the mornings while
sleep was still a thing to be desired.
By way of rebuttal the children point
out that they were never allowed to
use the playground until 10:15 o'clock.
morning recess, by which time any
ordinary citizen who behaves himself
should be up and about.
As a matter of record. 935 children
attend the Ladd School, or more than
attend any other grammar school- in
Portland. These children for the most
part come from a congested apartment
house district and include many who
haver no facilities for play at home. A
playground means more to them than
to the ordinary youngsters oi roruanu,
thev sav.
If thev are not allowed the privileges
of olav on some particular block the
only place left is the street and the
most prominent abutting street, jener
son. is laid with two car tracks.
Frequent travel makes tno otner streets
danarerous for Play purposes.
The cartoons that were tacked upon
the trees and along the fences of the
playground park are true specimens of
caricature.
'Anartment-House Property or City
Property Which?" is the label of one of
the drawings "syndicated" under the
copyright of the Ladd Sign Company.
It shows hobos sleeping in the park
surrounded by complete contentment.
About them as they rest at leisure
before lighted fire -are beer Dottles
galore and nearly as many "anti-
children" signs.
Another vision of a child's mind
shows the hundreds of , Ladd pupils
huddled together In the streets -about
the school imperiled constantly by
automobiles, streetcars and wagons.
"Kids Not Allowed" and "You Can't
Plav Here" sisns are hung out, police
men are running hither and thither
with their billy clubs yelling at the
kids to get off the earth or words to
that general effect.
Here are other captions: ioaiers
Retreat or Children's Pleasure," "Happy
Boys' You Bet, Sleepy Roomers You
Get": "953 Children Want This Parle;
Safety First: Stop. Look, Listen." The
latter picture shows signpost typical
of the railroad crossing.
Still another creation shows a pair
of spooners sitting complacently on one
of the park benches. At one side, lean
ing happily up against- tree stands
a hobo. The cartoonist has him saying.
This Is What I Call Rest. And the
tree he Is leaning against is labeled
with a sign, "Children Must Not Play
In This Park. To make It the more
expressive it carries the hour of
10 A. M.
MAN'S SKULL THICKENS
Bone Grows Inch, In Xine Months,
Doctors in Hospital Find.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 24. A man
whose skull has thickened one Inch in
the last ninth months was exhibited
before the Jefferson Hospital Clinical
Society last night by Dr. Elmer H.
Funk.
The disease with which the patient
Is suffering is known in surgery as os
teitis deformans. Doctor Funk said
that the malady sometimes attacked the
bones of the hands and feet, but rarely
the skull.
What causes the disease Is unknown
at present to science, although it is
suspected that It is due to some disorder
of the blood.
Doctor Funk refused to make known
the patient's name. The man is being
held for observation in the hope that
some effective treatment may be discovered.

BIG BULLET ORDER GIVEN
Lead Tipped Cartridges Specified In
Mysterious Demand.
ALTON, 111., Oct. 27. -An order for
ammunition received by a local cart
ridjre company recently will necessitate
the employment of several hundred ad.
ditlonal men and the operation of the
factory day and night for six months.
The order was placed by a New York
banking firm which did not disclose the
Identity of its client The ammunition,
however, is to bo delivered at New
Yorlc S ,
The shells ordered correspond to 43
caliber bullets and will carry lead bul
lets not steel jacketed. According to
officials of the plant, the cartridges
appear, to be Intended for old-style
guns. 'There is much speculation here
as to their destination.
women" may be advanced, was the as-
sertion made a few days ago by Mrs.
Frank J. Goodwin, of New Jersey, the
anti-suffrage writer and speaker. She
addressed a study class of 60 young
women at the home of Mrs. Austin M.
Purves, 8525 Seminole avenue.
Mrs. Goodwin was emphatic in her
declaration that the prettiest young
girls are permitted to mingle with men
at political gatherings and are escorted
by men whose acquaintance they gain
casually.
"Politicians themselves," Mrs. Good
win said, "are ashamed to see these
pretty and inexperienced girls exposed
to the ridicule of mobs and the asso
ciation of bad characters at fairs, race
tracks and . street corners, and many
have expressed hopes that publio opln-
on would soon compel sutfragists to
stop such senseless exposure of charm
ing young womanhood to tha great
dangers of designing men for the sole
purpose of advancing tha 'cause.' "
Mrs. Goodwin intimated that this
method of employing pretty girls was
planned by the suffragists and that
training schools are operated tor
such workers, wherein youth and
beauty are considered prime assets.
Discussing other methods by which
she declared, the suffragists hop to
advance their cause. Mrs. Goodwin al
leged that at the recent convention of
the State Federation of Pennsylvania
Women in Pittsburg, at which she de
bated with Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Rob
inson Hale, the suffragists were able
to slide through an Individual indorse
ment by the delegates only by trickery.
"The tables holding delegates' badges
were left unguarded." said Mrs. Good
win, "and women who were not dele
gates are reported to have pinned
badges on and voted for the resolution.
The total number of votes cast was
greater than tho number of delegates.
