' Evsry Republican voter in the state
&n Hid at Saturday' primaries In tak-
Ing the Oregon supreme court out of
politics. The exact method is being set
forth by the executive ' committee ' of
the non-political judiciary. It Involves
writing in on the Republican primary
ballot the names of . Justices Will R.
King and W. T. Slater, an idea that is
1 taking firm hold on thft, Republican
electorate. , , .; -v ; f"?
How to do this is described in 'detail
on postal card, which goes to every
, registered Republican. Why It should
be done, is dealt with mora briefly, the
committee having little room for argu
ment on a regulation card. . This com'
mlttee is composed of nine state law
vers, six of them Portlanders, and is the
"one orlelnallv - aonolnted by the State
Bar association to arrange for educating
the electorate on the non-political su
preme court issue. . s
The committeemen knew well that the
sympathies of most Republican voters
lay with the idea of a supreme court
chosen without regard to partisanship;
they knew the average man abhorred
the -possibility of political itbpa being
' paid on the supreme bench, . ,
Bow to Tote, t '
Whether this average man, however,
would know how to express his pref-
- erences when his pencil was poised over
' the Republican primary ballot' was a
. question. He would not find printed on
- that ballot, for example, the names of
Justices Will K. King and W. T. 'Slater,
: the election of whom, together with
Justices Thomas A. McBrlde and Frank
- A. Moore, will give Oregon the desired
non-parltsan Judiciary. The postal j-ard
idea was decided on as the best means
of indicating how the names of King
and Slater can be written in, each' with
an X before it , s
The postal card contains on the front
side, m addition, to the address, a earn
pie Republican primary ballot so-far
as the supreme court is affected. The
names of Will R. King and W. T.
Slater are carried in script, showing
, the method of writing in. The sample
ballot follows:,

here requested (and urged on page 19

"Portland. Or., Sept .15, 1910. Dear
Sir The time has come to take the Ore
. gon supreme court out of politics. (See
. primary pamphlet, page 19). The first
chance to express your views on this
. question will come at the primaries,
' September H. : Believing the supreme
:", court Justices should be chosen irre-
spectlve of their politics, and also be
, men of prqgressive tendencies, we ear-
nestly urge that the outgoing members
of the present politically mixed supreme
. court be retained, following the example
of New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin
and other states, i
"There are" four of these outgoing
I members. F. A. Moore and Thomas A.

To aid in taking and keeping the Ore

. Democrats are making- Justices Moore

they did with the Republican nominee

Streetcar conductor No. 856T
Is he the man who has the punch to
beat Jack Johnson ahd rescue the cham
pionshlp of the world to the white race?
Eighty passengers on a Lower Aiblna
streetcar, who saw him put five rowdies
to flight ... last Saturday night, raise
their voices and holler "Yes." ,
Today No. 656 is a hero among the
streetcar men who pass over the Hteei
bridge and the admired of all the resi
dents in that section of the city who
have" heard the story.
.Five young toughs boarded a crowded
car about 11 o'clock Saturday night and
kept up the usual running talk of their
kind. When the car started across the
Steel bridge the conductor suggested
It would be safer for them to step off
the running board into the car. This
thought for their safety brought
Jeering response. The conductor then
ordered them inside and Stopped the
car until they had compiled with his
demand. No more attention was paid
their taunting remarks until the car
stopped at Russell street snd Missis
slpol avenue to let passengers alight.
-, Tha conductor,-a slightly, under the
average built chap, was near the head
of the open ; car-collecting fares. - At
this Juncture tha biggest of the live
got off the car and sauntered up .toward
the head. Ha applied a few vue epi
thets to the conductor, who politely re
auested him to mind him own business,
Thereupon ' the tough reviled him for
being a coward and invited mm to step
off thee ar. -.t-.
Quicker than can be told the con
duotor's coat was off and he charged
the big fellow, who outweighed him
some 40 pounds. The big fellow was
charging, too, and they came together
with a crash. The conductor's left
rocked the big "bruiser's" head and he
staggered back.. An opening was or
fered, and the smaller man swung his
right from his heels and it crashed into
his man's Jaw. He wobbled back toward
a post and in going down struck his
head, putting him completely oui. He
had no sooner fallen than a second
tough rushed in. A left hook, a left
uonercut and a ponderous right hay
maker straight from the shoulder, put
the second one in dreamland. The .other
three started to .close in at once when
some of the male passengers Interfered

"I'll lose my Job for this," 'sighed
856 as he pulled his coat on. "Not if

names and addresses. When the car
swung up the street one rowdy waa alt

other had shown no signs of coming to,
EYE WITNESS TELLS HOW
LINCOLN WAS MURDERED
Word pictures drawn by Dr. T.-- D,
Bancroft brought the assassination of
Lincoln vividly before a large audience
in the Hawthorne Park tabernacle last
night Dr. Bancroft's tribute to Lin
coin, that he was nor only , the greatest
man of the last century, but also the
highest type of manhood produced dur
ing the Christian era, was received with
a storm of applause. .
The assassination of Lincoln, then,
said the lecturer, was the greatest trag
edy the world ever knew. Nothing that
Shakespeare ever wrote could compare
with it An assassin who had gulped
full glass of brandy Just before he fired
the latn shot sent out of the world
man who did no harm,1 but always good.
Dr. Bancroft had followed the career
of Lincoln through many years, and was
well acquainted with the lovable side of
the great man. He was present at Lin
coin s first inauguration, served as
member of his bodyguard before troops
arrived in Washington, and after
Wilkes Booth had shot tha president in
Ford's, theatre, he assisted in removing
the dying man from the place. Dr. Ban
croft is one of the few now living who
were witnesses to Lincoln's, assassina
tion and the confusion that followed the
shpt is still such a' vivid memory that
his listeners saw reenacted the tragedy
of Lincoln s death and participated
again in tha national grief that fol
lowed. . V' .V;m- -I .;
Hill and Harriman officials, at a
meeting called this afternoon discussed
with . Architect 'B. H. Bennett and the
executive committee of the Civic Im
provement league plans for 'a new
union depot to be built in conformity
with "city beautiful'- drawings.
Both John F. Stevens of the Hill
lines and J. P. O'Brien of the Harriman
Interests have approved Mr. Bennett's
plan for the- building of a double depot
with elevated waiting rooms that shall
face each- other. . Between-the waiting
rooms and over the railroad tracks will
be. swung the west approach of. the
Broadway bridge. An elevated water
front boulevard will be built, accord
ing to Mr. Bennett's plans, to connect
with - the union station So that direct
connection may ' be made between any
bridge in the city and the center "of
transportation facilities.
The completeness and boldness of the
plan has compelled admiration and
much approval. Both local railroad In
terests concede the necessity for-build'
Ing a new union depot soon. Both have
stated willingness- to conform ' their
plans to the general project for the sys
tematlo building of greater Portland.
The meeting of today is expected to
have definite results in the near future.
Mr. Bennett also presented more de
tailed plans for the widening of Burn-
side street and the improvement of the
water front The architect declared
that improvement of beautificatlon of
Portland without radical changes along
the water sfront is impossible. He is
thoroughly -.in sympathy with the plan
for the appointment , of a public docks
commission and the election of
J2.600.000 issue with which to carry
on the work. Greater Portland without
municipal control of the water front
can never be, the architect says.
Since the "city beautiful" plan was
Inaugurated in Portland a fund of
$20,000 subscribed with which to carry
on the work, many other Important
oities . have followed Portland's lead.
Business men of Minneapolis recently
subscribed to a city beautiful fund and
engaged - the services of Mr. Bennett
for the formulation of a plan of sys
tematic city building similar to that
which is in course of preparation for
Portland Cedar Rapids, Iowa, will
systematically beautify and improve
the river front there, and has engaged
Mr. Bennett to make a plan for the
work. Detroit, Mich., and St. Peters
burg, Fla., under the direction of Mr.
Bennett,, are working on city beautiful
plans. " '
"But In none of these cities," said
the architect yesterday, "is there so
much serious interest shown In the
greater building of the municipality as
in Portland." . , -. - - M
