This ' morning a petition waa pre

was signed by 84 persons and present

Halsey street extended was not In good

It was really for the purpose of pre

Is not necessary; the street is little
used, and we ask that the city stop its
suit -and let them build their church."
"What has been the change In. condi

"There has been s aone," said Mr,
Wasserman, "but no one seems to care,
and so far as X am concerned personal

and an attempt to deprive the colored
people of their property." '. .
"This matter came before the council
, on its. merits." said Mayor Albee. "It
'. Is a bad corner, and I do not believe
'- the council will grant your request."
And the council didn't. The condemna

to repudiate' the principle to which -we

was a shameful thing to have put our
selves in such & position that it had
to be repudiated, and It was inexcus
able of us to decline to follow the
principle in the case of the Lusltanla
without at the same time making frank
confession of our error and mieoonduct
by notifying all powers with whom we
had already made the treaties that they
were withdrawn, because in practice
we , had found it Impossible and Im

Switzerland is the . most democratic
of repubUcs and the least militaristic.

directions, conditions in Mexico are
such that unless the Mexicans them'
Selves come to their senses and unless
we are content . to see foreign powers
undertake the regulation of Mexico.
we may ultimately have to Intervene.
Such intervention would represent not
real ' war but a work- of pacification
and police. For such a wwic volunteer
soldiers are not well fitted. It should
be done exclusively by the regular
army; and for this . purpoee . there
Should be a mobile army of over 130,-

PROPOSED RULES

One important change was made In
proposed rules for the circuit courts
discussed last night at a meeting of
the ' Multnomah Bar association.,. At
the suggestion of Circuit Judge Oa
tens contained in a letter to the as
sociation the criminal department - as
separate court was eliminated from
the proposed rules. Under this scheme
criminal cases would be tried as other
cases by the various courts and not by
one court alone. - - -
The proposed rules will now be put
before the circuit Judges 'for consider
atlon. " President J. F. Booths, of the
association, said --it Is : hoped - to have
the rules considered and adopted- be
fore September L
The rules were drawn up with a view
of economy In operation of the courts
and increase in efficiency and expedi
ency. - It is believed that centralization -of
responsibility for handling of -cases
in a presiding' Judge v with Wide powers
will increase the capacity of the courts

Dr. R, Kendriok Smith, who will ad
dress the; national convention of the
American Osteopathic association, de
clares that the vrivi of popular educa
tion in. matters of health and disease
is rapidly everoeming the tyranny of
traditien. Msdlcal mysticism . will
soon become ancient history. For cen.
turies it wss a sufficient doctrine that
the . publio had no right to a medical
opinion, but of recent years, partic
ularly in this country, a revolution
has taken place in the attitude of the
rank and file of the people ; toward
the old fashioned, methods ef medical
treatment.:.,;: -y'': :':s:'V:, -:;.:."

"No longer," says Dr. Smith, -"does
the modern physician say that such
and such a drug is good for such and
such a disease. ' Instead we see the
new school engage in first an exhaus
tive examination of the ailing body for
the purpose Of ascertaining what sort
ef a mechanical defect interferes with
its smooth running. &very method
known to science is utilised to ascer
tain this information and when the
mechanical diagnosis is perfected the
cure becomes merely a matter of the
possibility of complete or. partial re
adjustment." ' ' V
Drugs Are on Decline. .
While the general practitioner, or
family jhyslcian. Dr. Smith asserts,
still uses drugs, "they have little place
in the work of the great leaders of
any school of practice today. The lat
est text books and medical journals of
every school are devoted nowadays al
most exclusively to surgical, and other
mechanical .methods of correcting body
faults and to various procedures other
than : those of . Internal medication.'
Sbme medical schools, In fact, have
omitted the study of materia medlca
from their Curriculum and some state
boards of registration of medicine no
longer ask any Questions about : the
administration of drugs, but are sat
isfied regarding the ability of a Dhv
si clan to practice if he can prove his
skill in diagnosis and surgery."
Diagnosis not Enough.
"With the passing of the drug sys
tem.".' pr. Smith says, "it becomes
necessary to find some other method
of combating disease. The publio is
not satisfied With diagnosis alone. It
wants ': something : done. : The modern
