COMMENCEMENT
PRINCETON
Preparations Made For Sum
mering With His ramily at
Oyster . Bay Ihree Other
I rips Contemplated,
(Journal 8peclol Service.)
WASHINGTON. V. C. June 6.-
-After
an absence of over nine weeks, during
which time he has traveled thousand,.
of miles and Visited the most remote
points of the fur West anil Northwest,
President Roosevelt is due to reach the
national capital at an early hour this
evenina.
Just how long the President will spend
In Washington upon his return Is not
known at the White Mouse. The sup
position Is that he will not tarry many
wtM-kn at his offices, and thatve and
his family will be Installed at their
summer home In Oyster Bay early In
July- probably iy tne nrsi or me monm.
There Is nothing in official affairs to
detain the President here later than
that time. It is stated. With the ex
ception of some rather Important ap
pointments, which may be quickly dis
posed of, there has not developed much
of Importance to hold him here during
the hut months of summer.
It is not thought to be likely that the
President will take up for th. Pr"nM
the appointment of an Isthmian Canal
lommission. :jne. appoinim-m in
volved in this commission are the -best
that will be open to the President in
many years. At least the polltlclr-ns
and formerofflee-holdere think so. The
President has said that the question of
the route of the canal would have to be
settled and other arrangements made
before he will appoint a commission.
The settlement of the question of the
route appears to be as far away as
ever, it is pointed out. and there Is not
much probability of the President an
ticipating something, in the doing 4f
which he might make a mistske. The
appointment of a canal commission now"
looks to be a long way off. The Co
lombian Congress is to assemble much
later; than was thought several, months
ago. and the opposition in that country
to the ratification of the canal treaty is
so great that the proposition may never
go through with the sanction of the Co
lombian Congress. 4
Three More Trips
President Roosevelt is scheduled
to
make three more presidential trips wlth-
in the next few weeks. He has ac-
cepted the invitation of Senator Hanna
to attend the wedding of his daughter
and Mr. McCormlck of Chicago, and will
go to Cleveland next Tuesday. Directly
after getting back from Cleveland he
is to go to .Baltimore to take part in
the festival -of the Baengerfest. The
next day the President is to attend the
commencement exercises of the tfniver-
stty of Virginia, at Charlottesville. Thi
two last trips are to be short ones, but
will prevent the President attending to
business In his office for several days.
It is probable that the President will
have a meeting of his Cabinet next Mon
day. He has seen a few of his Cabinet
advisers since leaving Washington, but
the majority of them have not bothered
him with business and will want. to. pre
sent some matters for his advice and
decision at as early a date as is con
venient .
Mrs. Roosevelt is already making
preparations for the summer sojourn at
Oyster Bay, and will doubtless go there
with the famtlr before July if the
President is detained here. The children
will all. be .out of school a -week hence.
and will want to get away from Wash
ingtoiras much as their parents. Oyster
Bay Is a delightful .place to. t.h.fni....Wlth
tne f resilient mey nunt ana nsn ana

vacations to the utmost.

RULES FOR THE MARRIED

Gives Advice to Those Who Would
Zlve Happily Together.
(Journal Special Service.)
ST. LOTUS, June 6. In denying a di
vorce to Mrs. Gladys B. Lange of Edge
brook, Judge John W. McEIhinney out
lined the obligations of married per
sons. His rules follow:
A wife should be fully emancipated
from her mother.
It is the duty of both to forsake father
and mother and cleave to each other.
.The husband Is the head of the fam
ily, and- it is the wires duty to live
where he chooses, in the style he adopts
and the abode his station .in life Jus
tifies.
Every presumption is in favor of the
wife's innocence, she Is probably surer
of the, path' of virtue than he. Let him
trust her1 as he expects to be trusted
and mutual confidence will Inspire both
to be true.
Let the husband not toy with thoughts
of suicide. It Is out of date, well-nigh
obsolete. It Is no longer deemed evl-
dence of braveryrbut is proof of moral
cowardice.
The husband should not sulk. He
should be proud of hts wife, if others
admire her, instead of being Jealous.

Before Sailing Tor Europe He
Talks of New York and Na
tional Politicrand the Massa
cre of the Jews,
Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst fired
a parting salute prior to sailing for Eu
rope on Jils annual summer vacation
from New York City, bitterly assailing
the United States Government for not
protesting to Russia for Its neglect to
probe the Klshlneff massacre and for not
hailing the authors twfore a proper trl
bunal. .
The pastor also pointed to former
Chief of Police William 8. Devery as
the man who holds the next Mayoralty
election in this city In the palm of his
hand.
Dr. Parkhurst also predicts a tremen
dous fight against President . Roosevelt
before the next nominating convention
of the Republican party a fight, he de
clared, that would be fought to the last
ditch by the radical wing of the party,
with the support of Wall street and all
the coal and money barons of the coun
try.
Drrtry Will Be Bnler,
Anent former Chief Devery the re
former declared, with every evidence of
earnestness, that the big Chief was play

aglne. and that by controlling from SO,-

means of his personal following he
7 , 'k r. VmI ,
thus be able to bring Tammany to
terms. What these terms would be. or
whether Tammany would temporlie with
the lender of the Ninth District. Park-
hurst said he could not 'nor would not
predict. He said; -
"Chief Devery Is pursuing a very un-
dergrountl policy In his fight with Chas.
K. Murphy and the organisation as a
body a game -which he is playing wiin
more far-sightedness' and shrewdness
than some "persons seem to imagine. I
would not be surprised to see him con-
trol between 20,000 and 25.000 votes,
which he will be able to either hoiu for
himself or. throw over .to the Tammany
candidate.
'Devery, however, has his price a
stiff one, in my opinion and it may be
that' the organization will agree to take
htm back Into the- fold and pntch np
thelr differences before the election.
But so far as I can see, the Chief will
win. or at least will not lose much any
wajthe wind blows.
"Neither Tammany nor Ihe'Fuslonlsts
can afford to-lose so many votes." and
in my candid opinion Devery will get
what -he wants aJuLwlu- then cry quits.
This will be the taming of Devery
Asked as to the probable Fusion can
didate and his chances for electtonTDr.
Parkhurst believed that, Mayor LOW
would be the only man who could win,
but opined that the contest would be
close and most bitterly waged.
"If the present administration la an
Achilles, ho continued, "and has a vul
nerable heel as it undoubtedly ha
its virtues seem to be to overshadow
its faults. So unless some chance arrow
reaches the mark the result will not be
fatal."
Silence a Burning Disgrace.
"What have you -to say in ragard to
the Kishlneff outrage and- the attitude
of the Government In not protesting
Russia?". -was . asked, rs:,vs' i..r ?"
"Attitude? Our Government has no
attitude,, unless it be the attitude of s
sleeper. It Is a burning disgrace and
one that cannot fall to scorch the na
tional conscience that the national Ad
ministration does hot' make a formarand
vehement protest to Russia to bring
those Klshlneff . outlaws and murderers
to summary Justice. If modern ctvlll
ration can stand idle" and witness such
a crime then God help modern -civiliza
tion
. "The Hearst papers In this city, Chi
cago and San Francisco have stepped
Into the breach with a praiseworthy ef
fort to save our national honor, or .at
least the honor ' of ' Americanism, and
they are deserving of all the praise they
are getting. '11
"But as for our. Government as a
Government, its boast of. being they
an empty word. We are exerting a tre
mendous financial Influence on the world
and a tremendous- commercial influence.
but as a moral' force we. have woefully
retrograded in the pawl generation.
"This Klshlneff affair, coming after
our strenuous protest against Spanish
barbarism, and after our virtual back
down In facing the Manchurian crisis,
Is causing the nations to laugh at us
behind their hands.
"Any. man who would stand in the
street and see a mob attack; woman or
child would be neither more nor less
than the position of this country today.
It Is a shame a disgrace and If the
Administration falls to do Its duty it
must inevitably suffer the conse
quences."
Dr. Parkhurst smiled when It was
suggested that Cleveland would not per
mit his narnOto go before the conven
tion as a Presidential candidate unless
he eft w failure ahead inthe' race. lie
also declared his opinion that the third-
term prejudice woald not. operate
against Cleveland as a candidate in the
minds of the people. He believed, how
ever, that some man who stood nearer
to the common people one more in
sympathy, with , them .and one In a better
position to champion -them would-in
all likelihood be the Democratic? standard-bearer
in the next campaign.
Fesrs Boosevelt Will Ziose. -
"President Roosevelt," he said, "has
hurt himself with the radical wing of
his party by, his position In regard to
the labor question, and it la doubtful If
that position- has been pronounced
enough to gain him the votes among the
working classes that he will lose from
the dominant element of the- party he
must look to for election. '
"Senator Hanna will support Roose
velt for nomination only so long as the
opposition does not pass beyond the
danger line." , , . .
Dr. Parkhurst .dismissed as 4le the
chances of Senator Hanna' receiving the
Republican nomination.. He referred to
Roosevelt as the automobile or his
party, which might blow up and might
play havoc with any one standing in
the road. He -will sail today on the

Most of his time, he said, would be

Every few days Secretary Shlllock of

up-the-rlver cities, telling of their
troubles in trying to secure better train
service between Uie - rural towns and -Portland.
At present the folk from the
towns on the west side of the river art
said to be compelled to come to Port- '
land In the evening whenever they wish
to trade here, and as the train arrives
Just as the stores are closing, the visit
ors are made to remain over night And
instead of Joy, another trouble Cometh
in the morning; for the outward-bound
train leaver before' the strangers have
time to purchase the wares they come
here to buy. Thus, by the present ar
rangement of the train service the people

whenever they wish to do their shop

We have not succeeded .,
"The Country on the west side is cap
able of development to an extent' 'equal
to that lying: along the east side rail

dition of the railroad service,' people

proper, to induce the action mentioned
to be taken - by the Southern Pacific
Company. : Independence and other
towns along the west' side have also -had
the matter under consideration and
have been urging tbeHsame with . the

Is the reverse of. What Is customary in
all practical lines.. It would be as well
to say that a man should undertake to
build up a mercantile business by open

with the amount of goods that he could -load
on n. mule, and exiect to build up
1 mercantile business before he could
bring on a stock of goods. - Railroad.:
