The gist of the communication la that
the institution will not be able to run
after June 13, because many of the sub
scribers have withdrawn their support,
the reason being that they think the

fact that the board did not ask for an
appropriation for the support of kinder

1902, a direct appeal la made to the board
of directors, requesting them to submit
the question to a vote of the people to
be cast at the school election to be held

was against the proposition, and the

had advanced; that, notwithstanding it

Through times that tried my soul,
But if Henry McGinn's defeated
We're forever in, the hole."
Said Senator Fry, Do you ask me why
I anxloun look and pale t, .
If McGinn should lose Multnomah
Good-bye to our cakes and ale."
Said Secretary Root, "I am deemed as
tute And can aise up a condition.
On Multnomah County we now depend
To save us from perdition. v
The President lies awake of nights
A praying for McGinn.
Alas! he'll never smile again
If Harry Lane should win."
j
Said Sec'tary Hay, "I will rise to say
That Jim Bludso and myself
Will immediately retire if
. McGinn's laid on the shelf."
Said President - Teddy, "I'm always
ready
To say what I tblnk; Mr. Scott.
Of all the editors in the land
You write the greatest rot.
You know quite well I don't uphold ,
Barbarity or steals;
You know that I'm not pouring oil
On monopolistic Wheels;
You know I'm not Mark Hanna;
. Nor is my feeling hearty
To those who with him bring disgrace.
And Justly, on our party.
In indorsing the ship subsidy.
And the Juggling going on
With tto canal bill in the hands ot
Your friend from Oregon,
The people of your county
Are NOT commending ME.
I repudiate your record
And such party Infamy.
Mr. Scott endeavored to secure a prom
ise from the President on the following
proposition. He said:
';'Mr. Persldent, Oregon has always
btu Republican ana nas always, as i
have freely said, sounded that wonderful
first ot uocess. Now the State has
been overlooked, brushed . aside as a
white chip, sat down on In regard to
transports, contracts and administration
favors. Now Washington elected a Pop
ulist Governor, and you poured favors on
Seattle, sent millions of dollars) into her
coffers. California went Democratic, and
I am told you sent her not less than S&i.
000,000 In one year.
, Now... .
If Oregon stays Republican, will yea
treat her as you have been doing?
' '. And, ; if,- i'l'1 '. ' '
If she don't go Republican, will you
show her the favors which followed" the
election of Populists and Democrats tn
Washington and California?"
The' President referred Mr.- Scott to
Mark Hanna. ' ' -.
1 t A Shrewd Candidate. .
It Is a good plan to give a fellow a good
cigar if you want him to vote for you.
But "be careful and have the cigars good,
Remember the formula: Good plan, good
cigar, good fellow and don't forget to
buy the cigars at Slg Slchel at Co.'s, M
Third street Be has onlg good cues.
