'S INORDINATE VANITY
MAKES HIM THE REAL CANDIDATE
J Sinews of war for the campaign against the offenders .of the
north end district -were furnished to Mayor Lane this morning1 when
the council passed, with only two dissenting votes, an ordinance ap
propriating $4,000 from the general fund for use by the mayor in
employing an additional force of policemen to prevent the r.eestab
lishment of the dens in other parts of the city after they shall have
been removed from tneir present strongnoid.
Mayor Lane Mid that he would begin
enforcing the law against the existence
of the restricted district Just as soon
as he eould get bla new forces or ran
laed.
' The mayor Is busy organizing now
and In explaining his attitude to the
council this morning he said he wanted
It understood that the movement which
has been started Is not a moral reform
wave started by him, but merely his
response to the Insistent demand that
he enforce the law. His statement fol

RESULTS
The return from newspaper advertising are invariably commtn
Jttrate with the publicity obtained throuRh the particular medium.
The testimony of scores of Portland advertisers to the superior
value of THe journal in reaching the homes is a good proof that this
paper is the popular paper of the misses as well as the classes. No
better test can be made than to advertise some household ccAnmodity
in the press and watch results. The Journal gives positive proof of
its superiority because it enjoys the greatest circulation in Tottland
and in Oregon.

How do.es Roosevelt happen to
