THE Bim came up brllitly this

sorrowful lit y. The. terrible ta
in puit y of yesterday nsHiinied ccn a

there was universal sorrow uh It was

not been satisfactorily disproved.
If this struggle Is to bo conducted
on tho lines on which It has been

HOW Wil l, voi; VOTE?
I' YOU am In doubt an to how to
I vote on any of tho proposed meas
ures on the ballot this year, Just
read the statement on the editorial
page of (lie Oregonlan. That paper
lias devoted considerable time evident
ly to figuring out just what It wants,
and has generously given the Informa
tion to tho voter, thus saving him the
trouble of examining the matters him
telf. However, regardless of the mild
rareasm this action of the big paper
naturally causes one to Indulge In, It
b, no doubt true that not one voter In
a hundred understands all, or for that
matter any birgu part of the measures
proposed, well enough to vote intelli
gently upon them and whllo the Ore
gonlan is not Infallible, Its suggestions;
i;re probably nujre nearly correct than
the voter's hap-and-chanco stab at
them would be.
A largo proportion of the voters
will, according to the views expressed
in conversation, just grab their pencil
Mid Veto No on the whole bunch.

are wise will pay no attention to oltli-l

IIAUIIAKISM W.tltl'AltK.
T1IK London Times characterizes
tho bombardment of St. Constan
tino monastery as an act of gross
vandalism on tho part of the Turks,
"it may be taken as an omen," says
the Times, "of the barbarous character
of the struggle which civilized Kuropc
has failed to prevent."
The bombardment of the St. Con
t'.tantluo monastery is only an Incident
in the list of outrages against human
ity and decency that have been perpe
trated by the Turks since the llalluin
outbreak. The Turkish gunboats have
been bombarding defenseless villages
without warning, murdering helpless
women and children, in barbaric dis
regard of all rules of war and a'l man
dates of humanity. Tbo charge that
Monday night, states City Attorney
Ifollln K. Page in an Interview given
out Monday. Mr. Pago thoroughly ex
plained Uiq origin and substance of
tho measure, showing that it is not in
opposition to the big bond Issue that
is to bo voted on at tho Biuno time.
Mr. Pago said:
"Tho proposed amendment Is what
Ib generally known as a re-asscss-inent
provision in municipal charters
and tho same lias been prepared by
mo under tho instructions of tho
council, to meet tho wishes expreasod
hy numerous property owners of the
oily, which requests, I understand,
wero brought about by the condition
in which tho city finds ItBolf placed
by reason of the supremo court deci
sion In tho case of Jones nnd othors
versus City of Salem, which declares
the assessments levied for the con
struction of the South Salem sower
system Invalid.
Council Feels Need,
"Tho council's Instructions contem
plated tlm preparation of nn ordi
nance for submission to the peoplo of
a charier amendment which would en
able tho city to levy a new assessment
or re-assesinent. which would euro the
defects In tho original South Salem
sewer Improvement, III tho event that
(the people, nt the coining election In
i December, should refuse to vote the
$::sn,ni)0 In general obligation bonds
now pending before them.
"The city charter, in Its present
form. Is entirely lacking In any pro
vision which authorizes the council to
, re-assess or cure defective assess
' mollis, which have been declared void
I by tho courts, ami tho proposed
I amendment Is to section C of tho char
i ter by tho addition of two new Bec
tloils to bo niipibered 4.1 and 41. This
section of tho charter is nn cnuinera
atlon of tho various powers granted
; to tbo common council by tho legisla
ture, nnd In this particular Instance
I this section of tho charter was adopt
j ed In Its present form by tho people
December 0, 1! OJ). at a tlmo when the
vast public- improvements which have
been going on the city were just-well
under way, and before any consider
able trouble bad been experienced
with the collection of assessments.
otherwise I noiirebend these unworn
! provided for In the present amend
ment would have been vested In and
granted to the council by tho people.
Portland Charter Is Model.
"Tho two sub-divisions of section C
proposed will, In duo time, under the
provisions of tho referendum law, be
mulled to each registered voter, so
that he may satisfy himself of the
purpose of the amendment, and In
order that the voters may more thor
oughly undersind the provision
when they read the Biime, I may state
that the two sections are founded up
on two sections numbered 400 nnd 401
which appear in the charter of the
city of Portland, and which have been
carefully aud thoroughly considered
by the supreme court of Oregoa In a
number of very carefully and ably
written opinions. These two sections
of the charter of Portland which fur
nlBh almost a word for word reading
of the two sections proposed for our
charter were Involved in the now cclo
brotod case of Kadderly vs. Portland,
decided in tho December term, 1903, in
which easo there appeared some of
tho moBt eminent lawyers in the state,
Tho opinion wns wrltton by Justice
Robert Bonn, nnd, In addition to bub
talning the Initiative nnd referendum
amendment to the constitution, passed
In 1902, tho oourt sustnned these re
assessment provslons of the Portland
city charter, In so far as they were
drawn In question in that case.
Court Sanctions Sections.
Aside from the constitutional ques
tion involved the court expressly Ban
ctlons the retro-active purpose and
Intent of the sections and In the later
cases the sections have been further
thoroughly and carefully considered
and tho power of the legislature con
firmed in Its efforts to veBt power
and authority In municipal councils to
euro defects and Irregularities in or
dinances levying assosinenta and
placing liens upon private property
for making public Improvements
which tend to enhnnce the value of
private property which they are de
signed to serve.
The necessity of tho proposed char
ter amendment Is evident, I believe, to
most thoughtful citizens, who have
noted In tho last two or thrco years
tho numerous cases which have been
filed against the city In an effort to
escnpe payment of assessments for
tho improvements which have been so
extensively carried on.
"The city has been very fortunate
In Its litigation and the work of the
council nnd city officers working un
der their direction has been well per
formed, otherwise the urgent need
for such amendment as Is now pro
posed would have been felt long be'
foro this time. The measure Is one
that appears In practically every well
considered municipal charter In the
nlted States, nnd In carrying out the
orders of tho council I have prepared
tho amendment S3 that it would be
genernl In Its nature, and not spe
cifically applying to any one piece of
Improvement. Its retro-active effect
is good for ten years back, and It 1b
drawn along the pr.th of municipal
legislation that has been beaten
smooth by the trend of many deci
sions of our state and federal courts.
Bond Amendment Not Opposed.
"Coming at this time it may be
charged that it Is in direct opposition
to the bond amendment to. the char
ter now pending. This is not true.
Both provisions are absolutely distinct
in character but tho present amend
ment to section 6 is in the nature of
an insurance policy for the general
welfare of the city and the protection
of its credit and good name In the
performance of its municipal con
tracts and obligations.
"A largo majority of the common
council so regard this measure as
evidenced by the vote on its submis
sion to the peoplo olid I Sincerely
trust, as a disinterested city officer,
charged with the duty of obedience
to tho law, that the purpose and in
tent of the amendment will not be
misunderstood by the voters and that
tho Issue may not bo clouded by con
fusing this amendment ns a measure
in opposition to anything that may
bo expressed at tho polls ns tho direct
will and decision of tho people of tho
city of Salem."

After nn absence of five years, the
Great Raymond, the well known "Mas

and will hold the boards at the Grand
theatre for two night, commencing

Raymond bns succeeded In making
his name a household word In prac

has given more royal command per
formances probably than any other
Individual. While In India the magi
cian established headquarters In Cal
cutta and Hoiubay and with tbo aid of
a corps of trained American mechan
ics he succeeded In duplicating every
one of tho many wonderful mysteries
of the Yogis and In fact all tiio differ
ent Indian fakirs. India Is admittedly
the home of mystery and Raymond In
i slahllshlng himself In this country to
build bis new show made no mistake.
The result of tho adaptations of the
high priests and tho improvements
thereon by American brains is that
Raymond has returned to America

American amusements.
