"He is not recorded in the city directory nor any telephone di rectory. "The writer of the letter last pub lished speaks as if Oregon was the nniv state in the union having a state board of health.

'Although some change of the rules to provide for closure is to be "desired the filibuster has its place in parlia mentary procedure. There are good filibusters. A filibuster on some im portant bill, to the importance of which the public has not been aroused, fre quently has the effect of crystallzins public sentiment. "Some filibusters are genuinely in service of the nation. Ii regard the filibuster made by Senator Burton of Ohio, when he was in the senate, against the rivers and harbors bill as such. The bill was f loaded with ap propriations for unjustifiable improve ments. Senator Burton, with years cf service in the house before going to the senate, is probably the best posted man on rivers uid harbors work In the country, knowing more about par ticular projects than members of con gress who hail from the states in which the projects are located. "Senator Burton a filibuster In this instance was a protest against the ex penditure of public money for projects that lacked merit, a protest, ' too. against logrolling. Appropriations for meritorious projects, such as our own Columbia river, were held up tempor arily; but the filibuster itself was a service to the country. Bight May Be Abused. "A fllbuster is the employment of dilatory tactics to hold up legislation. Usually it is Indulged in by the minority, although in the recent fili buster a little group of men ot differ ent parties were the filibusters. iinaer tne rules or tne senate, a member once getting the floor can hold it as long as he is physically able This is the prerogative of unlimited debate, but of course it can be abused. A senator having the floor cannot be interrupted except with "his consent. and then tho Interrogator cannot take the floor from him. Unless the sena tor gives up the floor voluntarily, the only thing that will shut him off is a roll call, unless he consents to the roll call, it cannot be made. . Frequently, speakers have lost the floor through a roll call being 'slipped over on them while they are off their guard. BoUoaU Breaks TUbuster. 'I remember once that La Follette was conducting a filbuster and. after Raving spoken all night he arranged with Senator Stone of Missouri to take his place, while he. procured breakfast. While Stone was talking the late Senator Aldrich arranged for making a roll call. La Follette came back into the senate chamber and Stone sat down. Before La Follette could open, his mouth Aldrich had called for a roll call, the clerk began reading, and Aldrich being first on the list palled, "Aye". La Follette pro tested but to no avail. He had lost his right to epeak. ' I regard the filibuster, of the Re publicans in the senate at the last session on the shipping bill as an in stance o. justifiable filibuster as the measure was so radical a departure that the sentiment of the country had not become crystaliied. The filibuster serving to call attention to the meas ure in marked degree made for a cre ation of a public sentiment. 'A filibuster is an attempt to block. and the senator having gained the floors, employs every mean at his command to prolong the vote on the measure he is combating. He will speak for hours, frequently all day and night, and will inject extraneous mat ter of every description into his talk, reading from reports and books and the like. Efforts to make the SDeaker confine himself to the question usual ly merely prolong the debate and serve to give the speaker a rest. The recent filibuster was not Justi fied. In an International situation such as confronts the nation today the nanas or the president in whom the handling of our foreign relations is en trusted must be upheld. The time for party politics disappears and the em ployment of a filibuster in face of such an emergency was an uncalled for abuse of the right of debate." Dr. Ansplnnd Fined. Dr. A. A.

The policemen searched four Chinese lingering around and only found one guh, although the fifth man fled to wards the north end when the police approached him.
