States Some Truth About the Italian
Invasion.
Ed. JouRNAL:-Referrinx to the
article in last night S JOURNAL headed
"An Italian INVASION" In common
with many Others l wish TO thank
you for the position you have taken
on the great question of foreign i'm
migration. As a moulder of public
opinion in this country the press Is to
n great measure responsible for the
present condition of affairs.
The laboring men have, by
their votes, made it possible
for the manufacturing industries
to reach their present greatness.
Foreign goods have been shut out of
our markets, and we have cheerfully
paid higher prices for all protected
articles than would have been neces-
sary under lower tariff. We realized
that by protecting the manufactures
a demand for labor was created, and
labor was thereby also protected indi-
rectly. However, the gates of "Castle
Garden" were ever swinging inward,
and millions were added to our popu-
lation, almost exclusively men who
had no resource, except their ability
to labor. There could be but one re-
suit, "an over-production of labor" :"

THE W. c. T. U. CONVENTION.
the Meetings.

the Meetings.
.t1R Rronptiyaty'o'clock last evening
Mrs. r. NJ. Robb, of Salem, and Mrs
f. L. Cathey, of Woodburn, president
and recording secretary, respectively
took their places upon the platform
accompanied by Mrs. Hartford, state
organizer of the w. c. T. q.
Mrs. Robb lis devoted Christian
woman and makes good presiding
officer.
The Loyal Temperance Legion OF
the state reform school, numbering
nine boys, sang temperance song
very nicely.
The address of welcome was de-
livered by Mrs. Elizabeth Holman, OF
Salem. After a beautiful account OF
the work and object of the union,
Mrs. Holman welcomed the visiting
delegates TO Salem, the city OF
church spires and legislative halls.
Mrs. Hadley, president, Uf the
Marion union, responded to the"ad-
dress of welcome in few well chosen
remarks,
The reform school gave another one
of their vocal selections, at this point
in the program which was greatly en-
joyed.
President Robb then stated that
they had Intended holding Demorest
medal contest, hut since that required
at least six and not more than ten
contestants, it was impossible to hold
such contest as there were only three
contestants. But the ladies had
medal of their own that they could
substitute for the Demorest medal
when occasion required. However,
the w. C. II. y. medal was equal
in beauty and value to that of the
DemOrest medal. Those taking part
in such contest would not be de-
barred from any Demorest contest in
the future. "The Cry of Today"
was the subject Of Miss Sadie Cum
mock's recitation, which was eXcep-
tionally well rendered as were also the
two succeeding recitations.
Miss Lizzie Swartz, of South Salem
recited, "The Pride of the World on
fire." and the third and last recita-
tion 1.-THE Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union" was given by Miss
Clara Watkins, of Turner
Another temperance song was given
by the Reform school boys. One
beauty of the boys singing was the
remarkable distinctness Of pronuncia-
tion that characterized the rendering
Of each selection. Several of the boys
possess very fine voices, one OF the
tenors and the bass singers being
especially worthy Of mention.
While the judges, Supt. II. j. Hen
bricks, Mrs Libbie Morcom, and Rey.
Elwood Scott, were comforting as TO
whom the medal should be awarded,
Miss Mabel Carter, one of Salem's
most accomplished clocutionists,
highly entertained the audience with
a recitation Jack" 1t was an excel
lent temperance recitation and Miss
Carter held the audience spellbound
in the delivery thereof.
The judges Observation-Disclosures de-
cision whereby the medal was awarded
TO Miss Sadie Commock, of WoOdburn.
The medal was presented the success
ful contestant by Mrs. Hartford,
state organizer for the W. c. Il. U.
who in few Introductory remarks
placed the medal mpon the modest
young elocutionist. Rev. Elwcod
Scott, OF Highland, pronounced the
benediction and the first days session
of the convention was brought TO
close.

THE NEW SANITARY CODE.

Board of Health Is Preparing to Mako Its
Provisions Operative in This City.
Plumbers. Nurses aud Midwives Must
Register.
In consequence of the new sanitary
code adopted by the last legislature
the board of health was called upon at
Its regular meeting yesterday to adopt
measures to take advantage Of the new
powers invested in 1t and to begin the
carrying, out of the new duties thereby
imposed
The registration of plumbers and the
framing Of set of rules. regulating
house draining and sewering was given
the most serious consideration by the
board. Secretary Briggs was directed
to attend to all the necessary details
for the registration and granting of
certificates and DR.. Allen was entrust-
ed with the work of getting up the rules
being empowered to invite the building
inspector an architect and a master
plumber to act in conjunction with him.
1t was announced that the plumbers
association has already drafted a set of
rules and in view of this fact the board
suggested to DR.. Allen that he allow the
association to select the master plum
bers who will sit on the committee so
that they may have the benefit OF the
rules in question.
The new law also direc.s that mid
wives and professional nurses shall
| register with the board and shall be
| subject to the health officers directions
| In certain instances, which are enumer-
ated and which must he reported. a
| book Is to be provided for those who are
| to register and a printed copy of the
law bearing ON their case will be given
| to each.
Dutv Of the Scho u Hoard
AS to the quarantine of school chill
dren the board decided that the board
OF control Is permanently responsible
for the carrying out Of this law and
| directed the secretary tn transmit a
copy of the act to the superintendent
| OF schools. This feature of the act
provides that every school pupil must
be vaccinated and register kept of
the time of the vaccination and the like.
Also a pupil must be excluded from
| the schools If he or she is member of
a household in which there is a case of
contagious or infectious disease and
must not be allowed TO return to school
until thirty days after the disinfectiOn
| of the house which of course occurs
after the patient has been removed. has
died or recovered. With the co-opera-
tion of the school board. the board of
health intends to rigidly enforce this
rule.
DR.. Paine, Health officer Allen and
President NJ. j. Kelly made informal
reports of the Harrisburg convention
| Of the state tIard of health, which
| was held during the last week of Janu-
AIRY. Each held that there was no
board represented there that. judging
from their reports, could teach the
