School Director and Text
Book Law,
THREE ARE CANDIDATES
Dr. Alan Welch, Thad W. Yreeland and
Br. Xt. Victoria Hampton Would
Suoceod B. I. Babla.
At 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon the polls for
the school election, at
which one school director
Is to be elected, and at
which the proposed free
textbook law Is to be vot
ed upon, will open in 41
different parts of the city.
The polling places will re
main open until 6 o'clock.
Three candidates are In the field to
succeed R. L. Sabln, whose term of
office is expiring;. Dr. Alan Welch
Smith, Thad W. Vreeland and Dr. L
Victoria Hampton.
"I feel that , I should not say too
much about what ! will do or not do
should 1 be elected until I have had
an, oportunlty to get thoroughly ac
quainted with the- problems which di
rectors must face," said Dr. Smith yes
terday. "I have made no promises; I expect
to do what I consider right and to co
operate with those who support me,
and with all who are Interested at
heart In the public schools of the city.
Opposed to Pree Books.
"1 am utterly and absolutely op
posed to free text books, for I feel
that the law is not the best that could
be. I believe that all children of fam
ilies too poor to purchase books should
.be furnished with such books as they
need after careful investigation has
hown that thu families deserve as
sistance. "There Is a pleasure for a child in
owning his or her own books that it
neerns to me should not be ended. Books
cannot be satisfactorily fumigated, as
I have reason to know from my med
ical' experience. I do not believe in
furnishing books for private schools.
' I know as well as all must know that
the Micks will have to be paid for just
' the same whether we buy them as
private citizens or as taxpayers.
Tree, From Promises.
"The question of employment of mar
ried teachers in the schools seems to
me to present. different phases in each
case and I do not feel that a sweeping
opinion should be given without consid
ering the Individual cases. I do not
see why a married woman should
teach If her husband is capable of
supporting her whtn an unmarried
woman might be teaching in her place,
- but before saying that any should be
' discharged I would want to hear all
sides of each ca.e.
"1 entered the race only after being
urged to do so by a committee repre
senting 700 taxpayers petitioned me
to do so I told the committee that
, I. did not desire to seek the .place un
less. I could do so free from all' prom
ises, or influences and my race Is being
conducted along such lines. If elect-
ed I will serve to the best of my abil
ity all interests for the best interest
of the schools and the children attend
ing." Ho Special Interests to Serve.
' Attorney Thad W. Vreeland declares
he has no special Interests to serve.
"If elected, 1 will work for the general
betterment of education in Portland,"
he said.
' "Text books are important, but effi
ciency of the teacher Is of more vital
concern," he added. "In reference to
the question of employing married wo
men teachers in the public schools, I
will say that Individual fitness is the
first consideration." Generally speak
ing, however, I am heifcrtny In favor of
giving' preference to single women who
are dependent upon their own efforts
for self support. Women who have
able bodied husbands should give room
for those who are not so situated.
Where the married woman Is the
bread winner because of inability on
the part of hrr husband to make the
living, 1 would' make an exception,
however.
"My Interests in the schools are both
philosophical and practical. It is my
firm belief that the child should be
taught those lines which will be of
teal benefit in after life. I favor
manual training arfd am a believer in
a certain amount of agricultural in
etruction. The school gardens, In
which I am deeply interested, are do
ing a great work.
. Stands For Eoonmny.
"The aim of the successful teacher
should be to find the bent of the pu
pil and assist him in that direction.
The proper teacher for the particular
child in an important' matter.
"I stand for economy in expenditures
of the taxpayers' money but would
disfavor any retrenchment that would
hurt the cause of education."
Mr. Vreeland asserts that he would
not have become a candidate if there
had been any "hard headed" business
men in the race. He said "School . af
fairs should be administered In a
business like manner. Had there been
any really ; hard headed business man
seeking the place of director I would
not have entered the contest. I do
not mean b this that I am my own
Ideal candidate. But I wilt say that
there is no reason why a lawyer should
make any apology to any member of
any other profession as a fit business
exponent."
Mr.- Vreeland was educated irt tho
grammar and high school and business
college at Detroit, Mich., and gradu
ated from the University of Oregon
law school In 1893.
Kay Vote Anywhere.
At tomorrow's election voters will
not be restricted to voting at their
home precincts alone, but can vote
at any polling place in the city. The
business man can vote in 'the city in-

Eugene, Or., June 13. P. T. Adams,
a resident of Winberry, on tne upper

bought on the MacKenzle river, and, it
is believed, that this preyed upon his
mind.
Adams' son, who' was with him, was
at a moving picture show during the
evening, and when he returned his
father was In agony, and died soon
afterward. In the grass outside the
window of his room was found an
empty bottle that had contained poi
son. Mrs. Adams and her daughterf
were notified of the deed before Adams
died, and they rode all night from
their home, nearly 50 miles, away,
many times narrowly escaping going
over steep precipices, only to find the
husband and father dead when they
reached Springfield.

Promoters Seeking
to Lure Investors
in Paper OU Stock
Thousands of people of mod
est means are being persuaded
to put their small savings Into
Calgary ell stocks. Probably 95
per cent of the companies
which are advertising stock fpr
sale are mere "wildcatters' and
those who Invest In them will
never receive a dollar in return. -
Smooth promoters, working -on
large commissions, are seek
ing to lure the unwary into,
purchasing these paper stocks.
Glittering promises of golden
returns sre freely made prom
ises, that will not be fulfilled.
, There . In abundant evidence .,
of an organised campaign to
unload "Calgary oils" on the
people or Portland and Oregon.
Some newspapers have pub
lished the advertisements of
these "oil companies" and the
United States malls have been
flooded with their circulars. If
the stocks offered were one
tenth as good as the sellers pretend-
there would be no chance
to buy them.
Some oil has been discovered
in Calgary, but for every pro
ducing well there will be scores
of the wildcat stock-selling
schemes.
Do not be deceived. .
Do not think that you can
make a fortune over nlgjit by
buying oil stock.
Do not get excited over glow
ing advertisements.
Beware of wildcat "Calgary
Oils'!
