ME SUGGESTION of the Initiative One Hun

such a business-like .plant never before have the taxes

given a half holiday in order that they may take
part in the cleaning of the city should meet with a unani
mous response.- No valid objection can be raised to such
a plan. This abiding place of man for which nature has
done so much is sadly -in need of a brushing up, and all
that is asked is that its boys and girls be given an op
portunity to aid in the work. The children are willing;
the experience -will make them better fitted for citizen
ship r-he-trttrlr-4eirretlT-benefited.--All-thatHs
necessary to carry the thought into action is the consent
of the school boardgjand that should be forthcoming
once. . . -.
In the appeal fust issued by-the Initiative One Hun
dred that organization expresses the hope that the school
board will give the pupils a half holiday on the after
noon' of May 18 and direct all the teachers to devqte an
hour of that froth 11 to 12 o clock, to instructing the
children how to go about the task of making their hb'me
surroundings clean and beiutifql. . In dealing with this
part of the plan to improve the appearance of Portland,!
the appeal continues,: , ::": : . ",'.' , ';"
"We would advise that the boys in each room be re
quested to elect a captain to lead the hosts against every
thing in the nature of' rubbish in their school district
and that the girls elect a goddess of beauty who will lead
the girls in making the lawns beautiful by planting flow
ers and vines." : V , ' . .
This plan needs no. amendment. It is ready for adop
tion. WTatever-the grown-ups "dcr the"chiMren'are sure

The word of the school board will be their tall to duty.
A half holiday for work will be a new- experience, but
their is no doubt" of the success of the innovaWon. The
members of the Initiative One Hundred are t be con

OBODY has "assailed"? Mr. Withycombe
. cause he is ot toreign bifth:, as theOregonian
pretends. He has lived in Oregon about 35
years, has been a clean, useful, somewhat enterprising
citizen here; and no mtelligent. conscientious voter cares
wherehe-was "born and, raised." But this pretense of
the Oregonian that supporters of Governor Chamberlain
are assailing Professor Withycombe on account' of his
nationality or extraction, is utterly false and ridiculously
contemptible. ' ' - -

IS THE LAWYER TO BLAME?
W
mechanical art.
This is not the fault of the lawyer. It is rather, the
result" of industrial conditions Tendering applicable the
declaration of Molier that "honor without money, is a
sickly plantj In other words, when money, ceasing to
be a simple mechanism of exchange, becomes not only a
standard of value but the measure of influence, of power,
of refinement, and Of honor,, the'Iawyer yields to the cir
cumstances and is criticised for being like other men.
Perhaps ' this criticism is just ' Had lawyers always
yielded to popular power and pressure" thei'e would have
been no Council of Trent, no Magna Charta; no Grotius
or Mansfield or Curran; no Declaration of Independence
and no Jefferson or Emmett Constantine.-when he re
sisted popular pressure and lifted the Christian religion
into imperial dignity and rank, performed a service for
humanity .that could not have been purchased by all the
wealth of the Indus.
Jefferson,- when he.Tnodernized the teachings of the
"Summa Theologia,'' did more, in a minute for all the
children of men. than was ever -accomplished by- all the
banks ,in Christendom, The choice in each msanc lay
on the side ot justice and against wealth and power and
popularity!- It was the lawyers' choice. - Could! -.wealth
have compensated for the immortality that followed in
the path of justice? : ' , :
When Thomas Addis Emnett, who- was both doctor
inenawytrrTanaeffiir 7ew Tort
could' have chosen , the medical profession and gained
wealth and the repose ot bhvton But in that sjonn
Marshall might never have judicially consolidated this
country into an indestructible union of indestructible
states, and the powers of the federal government might
still be considered ineffectual jn its momentous bttle for
railroad -regulation.
It is apparent that the legal profession would today
much prefer this simple honor of an Emmett to the big
feea of a CTomwel!or a Dill. ' It is usually the client
whose-tibliquifjp Terjuires-hitchin g -that-drives-th e- Em
metts into destitution and makes judges of such lawyers
as Aaron Burf. Nevertheless .the lawyer feels miser
able under these conditions. Daily he is insulted by
clients seeking" methods of robbery without criminal re
sponsibility. Daily he finds himself yielding to such
temptations for lack of other employment- and daily he
seeks the recovery of self-respect by a sort of moral
plagiarism whjch . make; "judges" of the most verdant
l nis is simply the language oi misery ariaiug
from moral miasma and vaporising itself in slang, Yet
it is one of the sytnptoms-which Tevealrhe fact that the
sentiment of honor is struggling against adverse circum
stances for a reconquest lof the whole profession. -
: Itis not the, little lawyer guilty of shady solecisms
whose manners need correction. It is , the treasonable
lawyer, who, after accepting a retainer from the republic,
becomes the Advocate of public enerriies in our legislative
halls, who should.be disbarred and reprobated by the pro
fession. Why should the lawyer differ from the soldier?
Both are aworn defenders of their country and its. laws.
The treason which could tempt the commander to lead
his army into ignominious capitulation is no. different
than that of the lawyer who. .manufactures legislation
destructive of the common' weal. ' It may be true that the
United States senate and every legislative hall in Amer
ica, are growing asylums of professional abasement and
legislative depravity. iBut it will be only when the law.

VOTERS who do not support Tom Word for re--election
as sheriff are playing directly into the
hands of the liquor interests and the advocates
of an open town. Whatever the personal views of Rob
ert L. Stevens,, the Republican nominee, may be, it is
undeniable that the gamblers and the liquor dealers' or
ganization are working tooth and toenail to accomplish
his election and to defeat Word.
The .reason for this is obvicnis.' Word stands un

:AIDS TO APPEARANCE
Every woman should remember when
choosing a dress that -she must study
her own appearance, and dress In the
style, that Is most becoming to her

The' extra tall girl seems to have an
advantage over the very short girl. In
the fact that she can usually walk
gracefully, when once she has got out
of the stooping habit; but with a very
short person this is seldom the csss.

HYMNS YOU OUGHT
TONOW:
Tov Divine.
i " By Charles Wesley.
This hymn represents Charles Wesley
at his best and It la everywnere ono
of the best loved of his many writings.
It Is given below as he wrote It. and not
as singers have Insisted on amending It
Like the writer's beautiful "Jesus, Lover
of Mv Soul." It belongs to congregations
of almost all creeds and In all lands. It .
was published In 1747. .
Love - divine.- all -roves-excelling.-1
Joy of heaven, to earth come down:
Fix In us thy humble dwelling, " ,:
All thy faithful mercies crown:
Jesus, thou art all compassion, . r .
Pure, unbounded love thou art; ;
Visit ua with thy salvation, n
Enter every trembling hsart. "
Breaths. O, breathe thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us sll In thee Inherit ' v . ,
" ; Let us find that second rests - r
Take away our bent to sinning; .. - .-
Alpha and Omega be;
End of falth, as Us beginning, .
- Bet our hearts at liberty. - .
pear even m
rate slsed hat will modify ths defect If
It can be so termed. Hats with sharp
outlines, or that are set back off the
face, should be avoided by the person
with sharp and decidedly prominent
features. Ths woman with - a - pro in
tent nose has much to contsnd with,
and her hats should not be severe In
outline, and should be set wsll forward.
Hands that are squeesed Into gloves
one or two slses too small for tbsm
will only add to the else of the hand;
and ertlgnt sn6ewnr"hotredd grace to
the walk, besides causing great pain to
the feet
What will suit one will nnt suit an
other, and ft rests with each Individual
person to exercise her own good taste
when, choosing her costume and hats.
Come, almighty to deliver, i
Let us all thy grace receive;
Suddenly return, and "nsvsr. i.
Never mors thy temples leave: ,
Thee we would be always blessing, -'
Serve thee, ss thy hosts above.
Pray, and praise thee without eeaalius
Glory In thy perfect love. -
Finish then thy new creation. '.:

Let us see thy great salvation.
Perfectly restored In thee:

Till In heaven we take our place, -
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
- Lost In wonder, lovs, and praise.
