Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON CapitaljlJournal Saletn. Oregon An Independent Newspaper i'ubllshed every erenlng except Sunday Telephone 81; oewt 82 GEOltUE PUTNAM. Editor end Publisher Uplift Bills Senator Corbett is sponsor for a series of bills that would revolutionize state institutions by taking actual control of vr.rious state institutions out of the hands of the board of control, while leaving it financially responsible for operations. It would place control of certain instittulions with the Child Welfare board, control of which is given to the governor and put a board of regents in control of others. The Welfare commission is to establish standards of qualifications for superintendents and instructors of the state Industrial school for girls, the state training school for boys, and the state institution for the feeble minded, and the bill requires that the board of control make appointments from persons approved by the commission. The measures also provide that all permanent commitments of dependent or delinquent or feeble minded minors be made to the Welfare commission, which is given sole control of the child. I The bills call for a board of regents for the state school for the deaf and the state school for the blind, consisting of the state superintendent of schools, the deans of the school of vocational instruction of the state university and agricultural college, the president of the normal school and three citizens, two of them women, appointed by the board of control. The regents will establish qualifications for superintendents and instructors and submit lists from whom the board of control must select appointees. The Child Welfare commission is to be composed of a member of the faculty of the state university, a physician selected by the state medical association, and three members, the majority, appointed by the governor. . While there may be some merit in certain features of the bills, they would make for inefficiency by divided control and Jivided responsibility. They are evidently the products of professional welfare workers who desire to increase their power. They are not needed, for Oregon's institutions are best conducted of any in the country and rank among the highest. The only trouble any of them ever have is caused by the interference of upliflers with a mission, most of whom are impractical theorists holding that no expense is toe great " to perpetuate the unfit.

Not yet. But It probably will be In a day or so. I expect in day or two to tell you about some startling; developments." "That Is what the police are "tying;." ta'l one of the boys, laughingly. "In the meantime, Mr. Starmount, It would clear mat teis greatly if Miss Leonard would get well enough to have her fin- tier prints taken.' "Ves," answered Starmount, am hoping for that." ne spoKe as though he were wailing for it, although In his own mind he was trying to devise ways and means to keep Kathlyn from doing so. To do thla he must have the help of the physician at the hospital, so with only a nod of his head to Klrby he left the report er for the hospital. "Dr. Johnson wants to see you. the doorman told him. "He said you were to come Into the small room off the waiting; room the mo ment you arrived. He has been waiting for you a long time." Alias Leonard la very much bet ter," the doctor began, as Star mount crossed tho threshold. "She conscious and sane." "I am extremely sorry, doctor." Tho physician looked up in great surprise. Then, and there Richard Star- mount determined to take him in. his confidence. "Doctor." he said, "you of course know of the terrible tragedy that preceded the entrance of Kathlyn Leonard Into the hospital. You also probably, know th.it Mr. Kvans was arrested this morninit for tho murdpr nf I you something now in strict confl denes -I am almost sure that Kathlyn Leonard in a fit of anger killed Elton Koas. I am pubiuve that Rodney Kv.ms will not allow her to sutler for that crime. He has told me in so many words that before he would allow her to be arrested and tri?d he would confess the murder. I am positive that when Mrs. Kvans findj her h us! and has been nrrt-bte-l she will .uiifcss thit she killed Vo." "Mr. Starmount," the your doc tor said earnestly, "l don't believe Kathlyn Evans hilled Tons. Of coumo I haven't the mind of a criminologist but I do not believe she did it." "Doctor, I hive yiven you all the evidence. "I know it. Every thing ft, against her. I will ;yree. Notwith standing nil that I am convinced that Kathlyn Evans Is not the kind of woman who would commit inur der even under great provocation." I think you ure wrong, doctor. Mrs. Evans Is a very independent woman. Sho really cares nothing for social laws and conventions. iler life and marriage shows you that. Her friends will tell you that she has always been a law unto herself under any circum stances." "Still," said Dr. Johnson. "I do not think she did it.. I ara sure " "Believing that doctor,' inter-: upiea toiarmount, "I know you will cxerr.. your authority as a medical man and Mrs. Evans" phy hlcian an 1 not let anyone see her but myself until we have cleared up some thin that are sare to lead to her arrest." "I'nlcsg by some oviilibline of he law. they should biinz in an other physician and i,et his oi-in- tm ad to her condition, I will keep everyone nut. Piobably I can even i'hj k:.in.

Be cause this is weil known in my pre f cusion we may run up against t snag. I'll do all that I can for you, not because of your client, Mr, Evans, but because of Mrs. Evan herself. I have known her a lont time down in the village. She ham't known that such a personi as I existed, but I have beard hei friends taKc About her and I havi liked and admired her independ ent ways.

BRINGING UP FATHER A Boner, Not a Coup That Governor Pierce pulled a "boner" instead of a coup, in ousting the members of the Port of Portland, is the admis sion of his slauncliest supporters. Iiy playing petty politics with the welfare of the Port, he has drawn the fire of even his porsonal organ, the Portland Journal, to whose support he owes his election. The Journal cannot be accused of partiality towards Frank M. Warren, chairman of the com mission, whom it has frequently opposed, but it recognizes the value of his unselfish services to Portland. Says the Journal : For alx juars Frunk M. Warren haa boon a guiding spirit on the Port of l'orll'ind commission. On public lnatturd The Journal lias many times riiHaKivori Willi Mr. Warrco. Hut Tbe Journal, like ovuryono else familiar with IiIk work on the port commission, agrees Hint his dlsmlHitnl Is one of (lie most unfortunate events that has ever befallen tho port. During Mr. Warren's tenuro on the commission, a most effectlvo operating force has been built up, Including a high-class traffic manager and one of tho best port engineers in the country. The Journal then relates Mr. Warren's achievement in increasing the dirt dredged from the river from 3,500,000 cubic yards a year to 12,000,000 without additional cost, of installing wing dams that keep the channel clear, of incroas ing annual tonnage of cargo from 1,900,000 tons five years ago to 4,000,000 tons, of purchasing Swan island at a third of the price formerly proposed, and concludes by declaring "for the remarkable expansion of the port, with its attendant benefits to city and state, Frank M. Warren is entitled to much of the credit," and that it is "the governor's duty to restore him to the commission." Mr. Warren is one of Oregon's few big men, empire build ers combining vision with achievement, and therefore persona non grata with the governor. Is it any wonder that the legis lature plans preventing the Port of Portland from becoming political spoils for the governor by taking it out of his control and retaining it intact? . r-.. .mct vim ,u unuiiier r 1 rii lanfiaMk, iMiirrjTnmf Tf Uy George Mc.Manus 1 1 5 , , $$tViNE OV: J , . i$f&r I SAID 'ITS A IFTHI-bOOKT M- H MilTr Mft A Fife DAY! j egr) IQ '' 'War Creat Britain riirhts rewrvH. 1 II i - L'l'l I BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG There's No Disputing This Evidence Iiy Billy de Berk BARNEY.
