NO MORE CAD. CLEANING.
Attorney Gcnernl Say. Passengers
Cannot Re PIstnrTMMl.
A Salem special says of the recent
coach-cleaning order of the Oregon
state health board: I
Laboring under the apprehension
thnt there are provisions contained In
Senator C. J. Smith's senate bill No.
21. the new quarantine law, which
would allow them to eject passengers
at Ashland and Huntington In order
to sweep out the cars, the Southern
Pacific Railroad company requested
of the state board of health to ascer
tain if they could pursue this practice
under the new regulations of the
quarantine bill.
Attorney General Crawford received
from the state health officer, Dr. Yen
ney, the request of the railroad com
pany, and today filed an opinion
which settles the legal right of rail
roads operating In the state to do such
a thing.
In his opinion Mr. Crawford states
there Is nothing in the new quarantine
law to allow the railroads to require
passengers to leave the train while the
sweeping Is done, nor should they fol
low the practice of cleaning coaches
when people are In them any more
than thoy did two years ago when the
practice was prohibited.

JEROME BEGINS HIS ARGUMENT
(Continued from page 1.)
sympathy be aroused? On one hand
ynu have an aged mother and young
wife, but on the other you have a
noble son whom you saw on the wit
ness stand, and a widow who loved
the man who is dead. I say this to
show that sympathy can be enlisted
on both sides. You cannot help hav
ing your sympathy aroused, but you
can keep them from affecting the
verdict. You cannot help having your
passions aroused, whether you be
lieve the girl's story or not, but you
can prevent them from Influencing
your verdict "
He repeated Delmas' definition of
'questionable Joubt,' and went Into
the question of Insanity, saying:
"When you were examined, you were
told that no notion of your own can
be considered; that you must accept
the law of Insanity from the court
You were told that the only Insanity
recognized by law Is the Insanity that
deprives a man of nature and char
acter of his acts and knowledge that
It Is wrong. You were Interrogated
about dementia Americana, but you
swore that no higher law should en
ter Into this case. As to this demen
tia Americana which prevails from
the Canada line to tho Gulf of Mexi
co, It I. mostly on the Gulf of Mexi
co. Does It wait three ears, glare
at an enemy and then kill? Does it
flaunt at the woman It kills for two
long years through the capitals of
Europe and then kill? Dementia
Americana never, hides behind the
skirts of a woman. It never put. a
woman on the stand to lay bare her
shame to protect It. No woman
woman could mount the stand In
category when dementia Americana
prevails.
SHOULD GROW COMBING WOOL.
Pioneer Wool Man of Portland Sees
Good Chance for Oregon.
That western Oregon offers an ad
mirable field for the production of
comhlng wool of as fine quality a. the
millions of pounds Imported Into this
country annually from England, and
that farmers throughout the valley
could materially add to their wealth
by running small bands of combing
wool sheep, is the opinion expressed
by Samuel Pearson of thlJ city, who
for nearly half a century has been
closely allied with the wool Industry,
says the Oregon Dally Journal.
"If western Oregon farmers would
devote only a small portion of their
time to this industry," he said, "It
would mean the establishment In a
very short time of comhlng plants to
handle the product, and beside, add
ing new factories and opening up
new avenue, of employment for Ore
gon, would be a source of heavy and
profitable Income to the farmer,
themselves." In a letter which Mr.
Pearson addresses to The Journal, he
says:
Slirinkage Is Leas;
"Regarding the very valuable and
Interesting report of the aheep and
wool Industry of the United States In
your Issue of April 2, It show, that
Oregon has 1,800,000 head of sheep
with a wool production of 15,000,
000 pound. The shrinkage In scour
ing, however. Is 70 per cent so that
the production of clean wool Is only
4,500,000 pounds.
"I consider this report hardly Just
to this state In regard to the shrlnk
ake. No doubt It Is true with refer
ence to the eastern part of Oregon,
but It Is well known that a very great
part of the wool grown In the Wil
lamette valley Is known to the trade
as cross-bred combing, which class
rarely exceeds 50 per cent In shrinkage.
HEAVY TRAFFIC TO NOME.
Six Tramp Steamers Chartered to
Handle Freight.
John Sesnon, one of . the best
known of the Nome operators, an
nounced today that he had arranged
for the charter of six tramp steam
ships to handle his freight shipments
this season, says tho Seattle dispatch.
The value of the coal, lumber, hay,
grain, oils and other commodities to
be sent north by the Sesnon com
pany will reach close to the 11,000,
000 mark In valuation. Nome also
will be supplied with 20.000 tons of
coal. In all 7,000.000 feet of lumber
will go to the Seward peninsula.
The building of a traveling cable
way by Sesnon will Insure the dis
charge of vessels at the Bering sea
port In all kinds of weather this sea
son. The Inshore tower Is already
In place and the bare for the offshore
tower is at the present time launched
on the Ice and soon will be dropped
Into position more than 1000 feet
from shore. The base will be held
In place by 4,000,000 pounds of con
crete. Sesnon Is als) building four large
barges In Seattle to te towed north
at the opening of navigation and will
construct a tug to tow the barkes
from the vessels to the cableway.
where the cargo will be taken nshor
and unloaded on the beach.
An Episcopal church has been
built at Prosser, Wash., and will be

NO CHANGE OF TEXTBOOKS." 15 THE
JOURNAL
SRLEWi
The East Oregonlan is the first
paper In eastern Oregon and the Sa
lem Journal the first paper In west
ern Oregon to strongly oppose any
change in text books, except to re
duce the number now used, at the
coming meeting of the state text
book cc.mnilsslcn In June.
The Salem Journal says of the
matter:
It Is announced In advance of all
action of the state textbook commis
sion Just what changes of school
books are to take place.
This Is Important because the state
textbook commission selects school
books for the whole state of Oregon.
These selections are not only for
the public schools, but many colleges,
academies, and private schools and
business colleges have to use the
books In general use by the public
schools.
Who, then, has any knowledge of
what the state textbook commission
will do next June when It imets' to
consider this matter?
Tho present school book adoption
has not been In use more than about
five years. Mven the tenrhers them
selves do not know Just hook, could
be Improved.
Tha Salem Statesman prints ths
following summary of a longer ar
ticle tint hna appeared In a Port
land rnper1
'Interest Is already aroused over
the possible decision of tho state
textbook commission, which will meet
in tins city next June, In substituting
evrnl new textbooks for those new
In use; The Portland papers said
yeileidav on this question.;
"'It Is expected that several
changes will bo made In the text of
the primary and grammar grades of
the public schools hy the state text
book commission next June. Senti
ment Is said to be In favor of sub
tltuMng Inter books for the Thomas
history, the Cyr first and second read
ers, the Wentwnrth arithmetics, the
need speller, the Reed & Kellogg
grammar and the Prye geography.
" 'High school texts are said to be
In better condition, but a few changes
will he made here also. Publishers
will allow exchange of old books.' "
It Is admitted by some well In
formed "persons that several changes
can be made to advantage and pos
sibly one or two In general use drop
ped out altogether.
Mere changes for the sake of some
one's opinion or Interest, unless
tacked up by a general demand from
the patrons of the stnte, should not
be entertained by the commission.
Sometimes It Is even possible to'
work up a demand among the teach
ers for n r hnngc.
Tt Is a well known fact that agents
of publishing bouses seek all kinds of
opportunities to address teachers' In
stitutes and conventions, to make a
demand for their wares.
So that even a demand from a large
body of teachers for changes should
not always be a guide for the state
textbook commission.
The teachers and the pupils and the
parents who pay the bills want as few
changes as possible. Even the retail
dealers should be protected against
too many new texts.
In the next state adoption the text
book commission will do well if prac
tical, to reduce the number .of books
anh give the state ns few changes as
possible. That Is the plain business
horse sense view of the matter.
