Resolved: That this association of lawyers here assembled la justly proud of the history and traditions ef the American bench and bar in the coriser vatation of the genius and handiwork of the fathers; in the perpetuation and protection of Republican institutions and Democratic ideals; In a government of law and not a government of fac tional politicians; in the defense of the bench against the profane and selfish hands of Socialists and demagogues; in the litany of Jackson, 'the constltu- huh iliju ltiv umuit IIIMBl l V IllCHtl ICU, In Lincoln's 'government of the people,; for the people, and by the people," and in the words of a wise man of the past, 'the common sense of all will hold a realm in awe,' that we repel frothy and aenseless attacks on the functions of the Judiciary, laws born in the viscera of Ignorance on street corners, local legislative assaults of the rights of property and subsisting contracts; and. that we commend to our fellow cltlxens what is writ on the eternal pandects 'that nations are like Indivi duals, and that any distinctive triumph for mankind and country, will come from personal reform and aroused pa triotism that will again remind the electorate that eternal vigilance Is the price of liberty.'". Waa Xt a Joke or Votr Several members asked Mr. Murpfiy whether his resolution was a joke. He assured them It waa serious, but W..M. Davis insisted there was a Joker in it and that the best thing to do would be to lay It on the table until another meeting. A vote, was taken, however, and the resolution was adopted. In explaining the unexpected turn of the meeting to the ridiculous. Charles J. . Schnabel, retiring president, said: "We have W.: M. Davis to thank for bringing out the crowd tonight. It la his duty to draw out a crowd. There Is a joke in his methods". Some have dis covered It, and some have not I wish to acknowledge my respects to him."

SOUTH PORTLAND GETS ITS BRIDGE .Sellwood Is to Wait Two Years, Leaving Field Free for Bond Issue .Proposed in June Election. j. Presaging a day, when there will' be ! no east side and west side, but simply a Greater Portland, the spirit of prog- rcss and broad minded citizenship was displayed at a meeting of the .Greater Boutn t'ortianti Bnage association in city hall last night, .where it deyel- opbj that there is a general movement on the part of far seeing taxpayers and property owners on both sides of the river to eliminate the Willamette as a dividing line, in so far as commercial relations are concerned, by spanning the stream with a sufficient number of bridge toak trafftecros tha water so easy that the natural barrier will not be noticeable.

Sell wood Willing to Wait 'The people who will be benefited by this bridge wore -public-spirited enough to vote, for the 12,000.4)00 Broadway bridge I chaRer," bond amendment to the city said Secretary Bert C. Jones. of the association, "and now the people of Sellwood .have' shown -the same good fellowship by postponing the movement to secure a bridge at Sellwood. We have been assured by members of the Sellwood Commercial elub and otfcer civic organizations of that section of the city that they will work for the Woodward avenue bridge and that they will not jeopardize the passage of a bond amendment for that viaduct by propos ing a bond Issue for a bridge at Sell wood. They have agreed to wait at least two years mora before launching a cam paign for still another span." Reports from improvement . associa tions In every part of the city were sub mitted to the association last night and all of these fjromlsed support for the proposed viaduct at Woodward avenue and Meade street. Especially gratifying to the advocates of the structure was a resolution adopt ed by the Bast Side Business Men's club, endorsing the bridge and appoint ing a committee to work In harmonv with the Greater South Portland Brlda-e association In the, publicity campaign inai nas Deen inaugurated for the ex ploiting of the big span. This resolu tion Is regarded as an expression of sentiment on the part of the represen tative Merchants of the central east slda. Bom of the Publicity Sonemes. It was announced last night by Chair? man Dav Raffety, of the association, that 6000 buttons advertising the new bridge will be ready for distribution May 1. ' A committee was appointed to make arrangements with moving picture the atres to show Illustrated views of the sections of the city directly tributary to the proposed span. The association ordered an advertise ment placed in 2500 programs of a St. Patrick's Day entertainment to be given by 8t Lawrence's parish. These programs will be. distributed among the householders of South Portland. A resolution was adoptedashing that all members of the association attend a meeting of the Sellwood Commercial club next Tuesday evening to enlist the support of that organization for the bridge. Chairman Dav Rafferty urges that every property owner interested In the bridge movement attend the weekly meetings of the association in the city hall. These are called to order every Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. Who the Bubsoribers Are.

FREE BUREAU PLACED OVER 1100 MEM IN JOBS IN FEBRUARY 4 Through the efforts last month of John G. Schroeder, clerk of the city employment bureau, more men have been placed in posl- tlons outside the city than have ever been assisted before 282.

They sim ply put their hands In their own pock ets and put up the money. Two years ago a general campaign for funds "was undertaken, scores of members of tile Commercial club having volunteered to do committee work visiting the differ ent business houses and property own ers, In the enthusiasm of the work there was little effort to adjust the sub scriptions according to the means of the subscriber arid the benefits received from the prospective growth and pros perity.

Almost without exception the eight new mem bers nanied are progressives, of the ag gressive kind, personally pledged to support trie popular election of senators. To the changes named .others may be added, notably Jn New Tork, where. the Democratic legislature has so far strug gled unsuccessfully to choose a suc cessor to Depew, It Is doubtful if any of the holdover senators who voted for the resolntion last week will reverse themselves In the new congress, for the tide is running the other way. The Spanish American War Veterans, of Portland, at a meetln held last nvi. day evening adopted resolution denun ciatory of the action of the national congress In recommending a treaty be tween Japan and the United States. which the veterans regard as greatly In imical to the best Interests of the peo ple of the Pacific coast. The resolutions declare that the treaty was made In the interests of the capitalistic class and not In those of the common peoplo. and that It will eventually mean the population of the Pacific cosst by an alien race. Unas. siniilable with ours and a menace to moral, religious, Industrial ami social traditions of our land. Th veterans directed their secretary to dispatch 8 telegram to President Taft, appealing to him not to sign the "dastardly treaty" and to &Vi the Pacific- coast to prevent Its states ,ng flooded with a horde of the little brown men so much hated by westerners.
