The president's ..altitude In regard

that of maJiy labor leaders. He de
clares in his memwe: "Hut when la

This very bold declaration Is made
on the eve of a presidential campaign

the president's favorite candidate hxs

desire to restrict the power of the in

us less tavorabl. to tlicm than they

The president scolded congress
sharply for its failure to attack the

the london show will doubtless fur
nish the most complete exposition of

advertised throughout Europe and Is
expected to convince European capit

One of the features of the exposi

Preliminary plans fur two new

mal are now being prepared, according
la President 11. C. (Jrellch, ..o came
down last
veiling to attend the boos-,
t. r mass meeting and was an interest
ed spectator at the gathering. '
The two buildings, says President
French, will he needed by the school
to house departments that are now
niioady in existence or will be created
upon the passage of the Wilson bill
now before congress.
One of the buildings i being de
signed for the training department
and for the agricultural laboratories,
while the other one is wanted for
the domestic science and manual
trainingdepartnients.
If the measure now before congress
becomes a law the normal senoois
will be given funds with which to es
tablish courses that will give training
in agricultural science nnd domestic
economy. The measure Is fathered
by the department of agriculture,
which desires to see those subjects
taken up more thoroughly in the
public schools, and to that end now
desires normal students . instructed
along those lines.
According to President French, th
two buildings that will be needed by
his school will cost In the vicinity of
$70,000, and the next legislature will
be asked to appropriate money for
their construction.
At present the normal schools are
under the control of a general board
of regents nnd there Is also a visiting
board which has the duty of Inspect
ing the schools and seeing the charac
ter of work being done. At the next
session of the legislature these boards
will have reports that will largely de
termine what legislation shall be
enacted and !t is believed that the
normI schools will be freed
from the embarrassment with which
they met last session.

Act.
A strange reluctance towards sub
scribing money with which to carry on
a publicity campaign marked th
meeting held at the court house last,
evening and from a standpoint of Im
mediate results the meeting was de
clared a failure by Tom Richardson.
Though the representative business
men and property owners of the city
were present, but a half dozen or so
were willing to help finance a public
ity bureau. Of these one was a bank- -er,
while the others were merchant.
From those who own buildings and
other property about the city from
which they receive high rents, not a
cent could be secured for the develop
ment of the city and county.
At the opening of the meeting Tom
Richardson was Introduced by Presi
dent Alexander of the Commercial as
sociation, who expressed gratification
that the audience was composed of
representatives from all portions of .'
the county.

enoe. "won't you start this list with

j for a time it looked as though there

forthcoming and the effort was given
up in disgust.
Hlehnrdson Was Disappointed.
"Fellow citizens, this Is the first
time such a thing ns this has happen
ed in Oregon since I have been here,"
said Tom Richardson, when he saw
that his appeal had been In vain.
"This movement so far has been a
failure. It Is not for me to say what
you people shall give and I can only
leave It to you."
Later on In the evening James Johns
roused the Ire of the visitor by saying
that Portland seemed to look upon
eastern Oregon solely as a land of'
sagebrush and Jack rabbits. Coming -back
Into the fray Mr. Richardson
classed the remark as an Insult and
then took occasion to pour a few hot
shots Into the local business camp.
