Council Closes 2 Pool Halls At Special Meeting The pool hall license of James Inglls was revoked, and a new lernii l to operate sought by Je Pensions For Ex-Presidents Bills have been introduced at Washington providing for pensions for ex-presidents. The amount named is $10,000 a year, payable in monthly installments for life. The measure is opposed on the ground that it is un-American and establishes a dangerous precedent for a republic. At present, widows of ex-presidents are given a pension im mediately after their husband s demise, so that a pension to an ex-president for the sake of the future of his wife, is declared unnecessary. It is declared that abundant opportunity is offered for retired presidents to save sufficient money to keep them in old age. Their oratory and their writing is always in demand at fancy prices, if they prefer not to go back to their profes sions. The lecture platforms, the magaziznes and the news papers compete against each other for their output, while their prestige insures a large income in whatever occupation they return to, while a pension would tie their hands. Advocates of the measure claim that it is beneath the dignity of a man who has occupied such an exalted position to have to hustle for a living, to embarras and humiliate himself by practicing law before judges he has appointed or have as clients those whose affairs he has indirectly con trolled or otherwise to commercialize his activities by chasing around the country lecturing, and that his energies should be conserved so that the public will have the benefit of his ripened experience, advice and windom. The fact of the matter is that the presidency has become such a strenuous job that it completely exhausts the most robust and our presidents go out of office literally worn out. The strain was too great even for a Roosevelt, while Wilson is a physical wreck. The least the nation can do is to provide for the declining years of the few it has delighted to honor and who have in return given the best that is in them to the republic. Alicia Hammersly A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry By Idah McGlone Gibson The Noted Writer Eastern Loss Western Gain There is no great loss without some small gain and the loss of the eastern fruit crop by freeze and frost spells gain for those portions of the west whose fruit has so far escaped serious damage, though there is no telling what a freak season like the present may yet bring forth. With the California, Oregon and Washington fruit pros pects the fariest in years and with those of other fruit sec tions most gloomy, western growers and canners are pre paring for a prosperous season. All sections report a heavv setting of fruit and the few regions damaged by frost have only suffered slightly and the remaining fruit will conse quently be better sized and flavored. While prices will probably not be as high as in the past few years, neither will costs of production and the season promises to be a most profitable one to both producer and processor, even if the reported losses in the east and south have been exaggerated as they usually are. All of which calls attention to the superior climatic ad vantages of the west, particularly of the northwest, over the rest of the country for the fruit industry, already one of tne largest and destined to be the largest of northwestern industries. The county court, which objects to paying for a public health nurse on the grounds of economy, has no scruples against paying the anti-saloon league seven dollars a day, board and expenses, for "as many men as needed" to do the work of peace officers already on the county payroll. The expenditure was not provided in the budget and those de manding and receiving it, not tax-payers, and the authority of the court to pay doubtful, but the tax-payers are expected to foot the bill.

City Attorney Smith holding that unices the council tank action Immediately the city Helping Mother Hammersly. The first mistake I made with my mother-in-law and I made many waa in trying to come to some sort of an understanding about my duties in the house over which she presided. Mother Hammersly had always woraea alone. She was incanniiio of giving orders or of appreciating any worn that was not done in just her way. "What would vou like me to An about the house?" I asked. 'If you can't see what is to he done, Alicia," she answered. "It would hardly do any eood for II 14- to tell you." "Suppose I keeD the front roomy in order." She heetitated a moment anrt then said, "You may try that If you wish. Today is my cleaning day." I attacked the living room right away. It was spring and the wea ther was still raw. but I was e-lad to hav an excuse to open all the windows because the air in that room was sodden and heavy. One felt sleepy after a half-hour in it and It gave me the shivers just to go into it. Up went the windows, and out went the rugs In the back yard. I felt better already. The mere fact that I was doing some thing made me more content. Mother Hammersly came in just a. I was down on my knees going over the floor with a rag dampen ed with coal oil she had no floor mop or floor oil. "What are you doing?" she ex claimed irritably. "Cleaning the floor." "But you don't have to open all the windows to clean the floor. 1 haven't had those windows open all this winter." I couldn't help thinking of the mothers who sew ed their children up in their un derclothes at the beginning of cold weather, and an irreprissihlc smile curled round the corners of my lips. Then she continued: "It will take an extra bushel of coal to heat this room up again. Where did you get that coal oil? I never put oil on the floors, and where are all the rugs?" By this time I was losing my temper. I was doing work to which I was unaccustomed and my arms were aching, my knees were sore, my breath coming fast from the exertion. My back seemed about to break, but I knew that room was going to get a good air ing even If it took a ton of coal to re-warm it. I wanted that room sweet and clean when I bad finished, and, girl-like, I wished that Mother Hammersly would give me the slightest bit of encouragement. Instead, she caustically contin ued "You are making more work, Kmc nnd money spending nunc - cleaning up this room than is necessary." I said nothing because i anew im i i t Mnii lie sure to tliai 11 1 Minmc i hi., tvmf I would be SaV SUlllCLUlUfe .,.. - sorry for. Instead I went on stead ily working. Mother Hammersly stood watch ing me for a moment and then went out of the room, iu very walk there was disapproval. Introducing Our New Senators. FRANK R. GOODING (Bepublican) TFormer Governor, Mow u. s. Senator trom taatio, out ceedine Mr. Nueent MR. READER: I Meet former Governor Frank R. hooding, of Idaho, who seveia. : months ago succeeded Mr... John I F., Nugent as United States Sen ator from Idaho. Senator Gooding Is a short man. Inclined to both stoutness and baldness. He Is quiet and unob trusive. He is reputed to be a very wealthy man. Politically, he and Senator William E. Borah, his Idaho colleague, have been unsympathetic with each other. Senator Gooding was born In England, but his parents brought him to this country when he was a boy. He lived first at Paw Paw, Mich. He was fifteen when he journeyed to California. Six years later he went to Idaho. For many years he was a mining company contractor, but for the last twenty years he has devoted himself to stock raising and farming. Besides being the owner of one of the largest flocks of sheep in Idaho, he has to his credit a farm of several thousand acres In his home state. u can be done. How soon that will be I cannot say, bui it will be as quickly as possible. "The flax industry has been un fortunate in that when the market price was at its peak through war and other conditons we had little flax to sell because the Immediate preceding years had been marked by small crops.

Assurance upon the Whitman And Willamette Tie In Debate Meet Voters Slow To Register Voters of the county are taking little interest in state matters to be voted in June according to a statement made this morning by County Clerk U. 0. Boyer. "There has only been approxi mately 250 registration of voters since the registration books Wart opened this year," stated Boyer. "Newcomers have failed to show any interest in the state matters which will be on the ballot in June. About 4000 cards of those who registered but drti not vote in the last two years, have been re moved from the files according to law. It will be necessary for these people to register tefore they can vote in June." The registration books close May 7, one month before the June elections. Accident to Engineer. Oregon City, April 2J.
