This effort to give to the Republican
fiarfcy the credit for the rural free de

means 'prosperity. The first bill Intro
duced in congress for the establishment
of this service came from a Democrat,
the Hon. LeoniJaa Livingston of
Georgia and through the efforts of
Democrats in qongresi' the service has
been extended and, the salaries of car

The first letter waa wrlttn h T.iii

PROVES VALUE
OF INSPECTION
According to the monthly report Of
City Health Officer Esther M. Pohl,
students in 2 public schools were ex
amined by the medical , Inspectors ap
pointed last month. This Inspection,
she thinks, was the means of preventing
another epidemic of smallpox like that
Which resulted in the clostnsr of the
Chapman school last term. -
Drs. Storey and Gellert and School
Nurse Rachel Doremus Shatto personal
ly visited more than 11,000 school chil
dren and discovered scores of cases of
children's diseases, such as scabies, ring
worm and itch. One hundred and twenty
cases of tuberculosis, two of smallpox
and two of diphtheria were alao noted.
Only eight exclusion cards were Is
sued,, that is, it was-only found neces
sary, in eight Instances to-order- stu
dents to stay at home until the disease
with which . they were afflicted was

SAMUEL
Health Board Discusses New
Scheme to Insure Purity
of City's 3Iilk Supply
Federal llejglation May
Prove Too Strinjrent.
Tne United States government may
be asked to take a hand in the solution
of the milk problem In Portland. .If the
city health board finds that the re
quirements of Uncle Sam are' not ' so
rigid as to put all the dairies out of
business, it will ask the . federal au
thorities to assume control over the
milkmen who supply the city. ,
Dr. Yenney of the health board, was
asked at the meeting of that, body tlis
morftlng to ascertain what are the gav
ernment regulations guarding . agaij't-t
the sale- of impure and diseased milk
and to make a report at the next board
meeting. It- is quite likely that 'ae
board will make a recommendation that
the government take charge of the sit
uation. - (
if. this Is done further- consideration
of the Cottel milk ordinance In the
oouncil will be unnecessary. Dr. Yon
ney said be waa sure that the fednral
of rlclals will agree to Inspect dairi-ts
here, if he city aaks them to. The
people or Pendleton wanted federal in
spection, but when the government reg
ulations were submitted to them thoy
refused to adopt them because It was
thought that dairymen would find It so
idlf ficult to,compJy ,...that tha price cf
milk would be Increased so much cm
to make the arjtcle a luxury to ws;
people. r
Krs. Evans' Suggestion.
- Whether Portland will come to the
same "conclusion or not Is hard to say,
but in Such event a suggestion made In
the October report of Market Inspector
Sarah A. Evans will, it is thought, be
adopted Dy tne ooara.
.Mrs. Rvans believes that if each milk
man is made to buy a city license and
submit to inspection by a special officer
.employed by the health department be
fore being allowed to do business, the
result will be that nothing but pure
UK win be sold.
'I think." said Mrs. Evans "that if
this plan were adopted It would tend
to the establishment of largo central
distributing depots from which consumers-
in all parts of the city -would be
supplied. The owners of these distrib
uting storehouses- would be under bond
and responsible for ..all milk sold by
them... - .- '
XliltB In All Xilk.
"But whether you try this scheme or
some other, something should be done
at once. Conditions are awful. In one
creamery I visited the other day the
proprietor told me that he had to strain
every bit of milk brought to his estab
lishment and In some of the cans two
quarts or mora of stable filth would be
found, The manager said he had to
take the milk because the dairymen are
so Independent that If he refused It
they would take It to some other cream
ery, Milk is so scarce that the dairy
men can do as they please."
"We ought to--go on record as fav6r
ing the movement to secure pure milk,"
declared Mayor Lane to the board.
"You all know better than anybody else
what filthy conditions exist In - the
dairies. We, as a body, should officially
offer Dr. Cottel our assistance In his
fight to 'get the city council to pass
lsws whlcn will compel mux vendors to
sell nothing that Is not clean and pure."
Dr. Glesey thought Mrs. Evans sug
gestion was a good one' and should re
tried. He said he had prescribed milk
for six patients lately, but they had re
fused to arms ic Decsuse or tne aire
which It contained.. He did not know
the names of the mflkraen who had sold
this mlHt, but said he was trying to as
certain them.

The Huntley law will get you tomor
row If you don't wach out It speci
fies several things that no man can do
without being guilty of a corrupt prao
tice. So many,; diverse and voluminous
are the strictures placed by the statute
upon the election day actions of men
that th only safe rule to follow Is for
the voter to leave hia home and make a
bee line for the polls, looking; neither to
the right nof the left, greeting no friend
or acquaintance, making no conserva
tion, smoking no cigar. Having ar
rived at the polls he should make signs
asking for a ballot, receive It without
qndue thanks, i retire to the booth,
swiftly -mark the paper, leave it with
the' judges and hasten home, taking no
campaign buttons or cards on the way.
Then, if he resembles neither Bryan,
Taft Debs, Chafln or Hisgen. the voter
will be reasonably sure of getting home
withput violating tha Huntley bill.
Here Is ths thing you can do vote.
' Here are some of the things you can
not do 1 without being guilty of a cor
rupt practice: -. ' ..

coercion, violence, restraint or undue In
fluence or inflict any temporal or spirit
ual injury upon any voter.
No minister, preacher or priest or of
ficer of any religious organization shall
attempt to influence any voter, except
by public speech.
If any of the candidates for presi
dential electors have made any bets
they are guilty of a corrupt practice
and are disqualified under the Huntley
law from filling tha office, should they
be elected. If sny man has made, or
shall make tomorrow, a bet with the In
tent of Influencing the election in Ore
gon, he will be guilty of a corrupt prac
tice and his vote can be' challenged.
No man shall represent himself to be
somebody else. . If he does he is guilty
of personation and liable to a peniten
tiary sentence st hard labor for not less
than one nor more than three years.
