idng May
Get Place
in Cabinet
Jsdge W. R. King It Is
Claimed Will Be Placed on
Wilson's Cabinet Probably
Secretary of Interior
That former Supreme Court Justice
TO R. King, premier champion of
"Woodrow,, Wilson on the Pacific coast,
and who, while on the Oregon supreme
tench, wrote an opinion on the ques
tion of Irrigation which has become
almost a text-book on that subject and
-which Is recognized as a masterpiece
ly the United States supreme court,
will go Into President Wilson's cabi
net as secretary of the Interior, Is the
cpinlon of many Salem Democrats.
That Judge King should be appointed
t0 that office Is the universal opinion
In this section of the state.
Since the opening of the campaign
Judge. King has been at the Chicago
headquarters directing not only the
Democratic campaign on this side of
the Rocky mountains, but because of
the absence from the bureau much of
the time of the heads of the other
campaigning departments, practically
In charge of the entire Wilson head
quarters. Judge King has been work
ing day and night ever since the Bal
timore convention, but his first efforts
toward making Woodrow Wilson the
next president of the United States be
gan In Oregon more than a year ago.
He Visits Bryan.,
It was while Judge King was on the
Oregon bench that he began to mani
fest his admiration for Governor Wil
son, and at that time he expressed the
opinion that Wilson would be the next
president. About the middle of 1911
the Oregon man made a trip east and
visited a number of leading Demo
crats, among them. William J. Bryan,
In Wilson's behalf. The Wilson boom
1n Oregon was started by him and
there is no doubt that his efforts for
the New Jersey governor were felt
throughout the nation.
"Judge King is certainly great ma
terial for a position In the cabinet as
secretary of the Interior," said Judge
Thomas A. McBrlde, of the supreme
ourt today, "and Oregon and the west
-will certainly be lucky If he Is named."
Judge McBrlde and Judge King were
Intimate friends before the latter left
the bench. "He knows more about Ir
rigation than any other man In the
1'iilUd States," continued the Judge.
Ho baa been a Btudent of the subject
for years. He was born and reared on
an Irrigated farm in Umatilla county.
Tells of Noted Case.
"Judge King's famous opinion In the
iMHe of Hough against Porter has be
come ft text-book 6n the water subject
It has been commented on favorably
liy the supreme court of tho United
Sliit.es several times, and It Is consid
ered all over the west as the finest ex
vcdltlon on the subject of water rights
.hat has ever been written. It is the
longost opinion that was ever written
In. the state, taking 143 pages In the
rourt reports, while most cases re
nulro only two or three pages. It Is
eUmtistlvo of the subject."
Tim case of Hough against Porter
v,t,Mi resulted In Judge King's opln--:i
originated front southern Oregon.
No Ax to Grind.
"I do not think Judge King ever had
tax to grind while he was working for
Ccvernor Wilson," said Judge Mc
Ilildc. "I have never heard of his as-
Tiring to a cabinet position, but he
baa certainly earned It. It required
nerve for him to champion Wilson In
Orison at the early time at which he
lid It, because there was a very strong
feeling here at that time for Champ
Clark."
With Judge W. T. Slater, Judge King
was appointed a commissioner of the
supreme court In 1907, an unusually
kxrtt amount of work In the court at
that time requiring the creating of
thi f, temporary offices. Two years
I:iter both he and Judge Slater were
.pointed to places on the bench.

VARSITY IS SEEKING
MORE TEAMS TO CONQUER
Having clearly demonstrated their
super excellence In the game last
Tuesday, the university "kickers" are
early seeking a game with some team
that can really give them a close rub.
They have a standing challenge out
for O. A. C. and have been continually
at them to meet them on the local field
a week from next Saturday, but Dolan
perhaps remembering the close games
played them the past two years, still
refuses to consider any offer.
The students are Berlously consider
ing bringing Wltworth here for a
game on some date next week. Wlt
worth Is a non-conference school, but
would probably be able to put up an
interesting game.
The team is certainly In excellent
condition and has developed a machine
which compares favorably with any In
the state, or In the northwest confer
ence, for that matter. Their cry now
is, "Bring on a conference team."

A Father
Like Those
of Sparta
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.
San Francisco, Nov. 8. "Well, War
den, here's the boy back again, His
mammy and I would rather see hliu
back here In Jail than to have him
break his promised word with the
state. He forgot his bringing up, when
he did not obey what he suld he'd do
for letting him out to come back home
lo the ranch. His mammy and I want
you to know that we did not raise him
up that way."
With this simple explanation of the
stern sense of Justice that prompted
bin act, D. W. Lamb, a weather-beaten
old rancher, of Shasta county, deliv
ered to Warden Hoyle, at San Qtientln
prison, his 27-year-old son, Frank
who had broken his parole.
There was Just a suspicion of mois
ture In the father's keen gray eyes as
he shook the boy's hand In parting at
the big grated door of the prison. The
set of his chin relaxed a little.
"We Will Be WnltluV
"Well, son," he said slowly, "be a
good boy while you are here. Do
what's right, and when you get out,
come back up to the ranch. Your
mammy and I will be waltin' for you
And then to the warden: "Sort of
look after Frank. He's only a boy
after all, and a good boy, for all he's
done. This ought to teach him a les
son. We tried hard to bring him up
right but he went a little wild.
'Come back to the ranch," he plead
ed, his lips working In a final appeal
to his son. Then he turned and
marched away, his old-fashioned sense
of duty and honor satisfied.
Frank Lamb was a model prisoner
at San Quentin, where he was taken In
1906 to serve a seven-year term for
grand larceny. The parole machinery
was Invoked and he was released on
probation In 1908 with Instructions
not to leave the state and to make re
ports to the authorities at stated In
tervals. Broke His I'nrole.
For a time young Lamb succeeded
In obeying the parole regulations.
Then the trait which his father char
acterized as "a little wild" reasserted
itself and he took to the road. A short
time ago, tired of the husks of a wan
derer's life, ho drifted back to the
home ranch.
"Come on boy, wo're goin' back to
Jail," said the father. "First sit down
and eat a hearty meal Just like you
used to when you were a little fellow,
and then we'll go."
With hands shading her eyes the
mother watched her boy being led
back to four years more of prison llfo
by the stern old father. Neither of
the two looked back. Today the father
came back alono to the waiting moth
er. "I don't hold anything agahiBt the
old man for bringing me back here,"
said the boy to Warden Hoyle. "I'm
going to try to be more like him. If
I'd been like him I'd never got Into
this scrape at all. He's a good old
dad."

fears that within a few hours all Eu

Pourses here and In Derlln are de
pressed. If Servia Insists on getting an out
let through her conquered territory to

will be compelled to resort to bullet

to back Servia, and an Austrian-Rus

would be almost Impossible to prevent
all Europe becoming embroiled.
Dispatches today from Uelgnule say
the Servian stntesmen "do not Intend
to be cheated out of the ports of Du-

Alesslo, which were the sole reason
for Servians entering' the llalkan war

It is officially announced here to

Tooze Is

Woman Snffrage Which He-

Championed Winning, the

There Is a practical certainty In the
minds of leading Republicans that
Walter L. Tooze will be a candidate In
1914 In tho congressional race against
W C. Hawley. Mr, Tooze has been
prominent In the political and Indus
trial life of tills part of the state for a
('.carter of a century. Six years ago
ho was a candldute for oongroHS, but
was beaten out by Mr. Hawley.
Mr. Tooze is an ardent equal Buf
fraglst, has campaigned In favor of
that measure and It Is believed will
depend to a considerable extent on the
doubling of the Oregon vote If he runs
a second time. It is believed by mnny
that he would have beon rlectod in
1SHNJ hud It not beon for the candidacy
on tho Democratic ticket of 8. D.
Houston, of HIllBboro.
Mr. Tooze has always been consid
ered one of the most loyal members of
the Republican party In the state.
Since he attained his majority about
30 years ago, he has beon Identified
with the party, and In his youthful
days was known as "The Boy Orator
of French Prairie." His fulthfulnoss
lo the party was shown In his stump-
mt tlle district for Congressman Haw-

At tho Republican assembly, lu Port

permanent unless an effort was made
for harmony. Ho was also chairman

For many years Mr. Tooze was a
