The best assurance that the people Of
Portland can have that their municipal
affairs will be we'll managed is the pres
ence Of honest and capable men in Office.
The character OF the nominees Of the
Republican party Is such ms to give this
assurance In large MEASURE A feeble
complaint 10 made by some of our Demo
cratic contemporaries that Judge Robin
son has given no pledge as to what his
policy will be in Office. 1t is altogether to
his credit that he has not done so. II he
had been making promises to do this or
that his opponents would have said, and
with some show Of reason, that he was
catering to this vote and that vote, and
would have claimed that 1t was to his dis
credit. The great strength of Judge Rob.
inson lies In the fact that II he is eleott d
to the office OF Mayor lie will take 1t un-
pledged to promote any particular scheme
or appoint any particular person to Office.
He will be perfectly free to act in every
case for what SCENE to be for the best in
terest of the city under existing circum
stances. Nobody will have any pulp
with him and nobody can present any
promise when he IL seated In the Mayor
chair and demand that he redeem 1t
Judge Robinson's record and character
commit him sufficiently to use his best
ability to give to the city an honest,
efficient and businessllke admin stration,
and nobody doubts that he will live up
to them in the Mayors office.

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD

To the Editor Of the Press
The kindly tone Of the PRESS edtoria
OF yesterday was very encouraging to the
friends Of the movement to place three
women on the school board. As sit is not
good for man to be alone" why exclude
women solely from the school com m ttee
when both sexes are represented among
teachers and scholarsf Housekeeping is
women's province. Are our schools 50
faultless ! in sanitary conditions that a
little careful supervision would not add
Government is now considering the mat
ter of establishing cooking classes in the
public schools throughout the country in
order that Intelligent knowledge of food
products and their preparation may add
to the comfort and well being of the
household. The care of this would seem
to be in woman's department rather than
mans. However, If given the opportunity
womentwould bring into the work fresh
ness f interest born of love for thehighest
moral, physical and intellectual growth
of their children.
Endorsements Of the proposed "amend-
ment" have come to the Women's Council
from seven hundred and sixty women ,lsl-
though no effort was made TO gain them
outside OF the clubs belonging to the
Literary Union and u few of the beneyo-
lent organizations. Straws show how the

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD


To the Editor Of the Press
VIII you kindly permit me to say a
word in favor Of the proposed amendment
placing women on the school board of this
city. Some years ago l served on the
school board OF the city of Salem, Mass
in company with at least one woman
member, an 1 can testify to the value OF
her ability and services. There was a
general feeling Of regret on the part OF
her associates when the duties of large
medical practice compelled her to decline
| re election.
81 have also personal ~nowledege of the
workings OF the school beard In Boston
and In Los Angeles, California, and
know that the membership Of women
thereto has been helpful to the efficiency
and standing of the schools in both
cities In addition to membership In
the local school boards / know of in
stan ses In California where women havs
occupied the position of superintendent of
schools, both Of city and county, to the
satisfaction of all parties concerned. In
the light of such knowledge 1t sesms to
me strange that any objection should be
made to their admission on the ground
of sex. l can think of no argument
against their adm issiou which does not
apply with equal weakness to their en-
gaging in any work which men desire
to retain in their own hands. earnestly
hope that the amendment will be adopted.

when hs insisted that the Hull army bill
should not go through the Senate If he
had to talk against time to prevent, he
played in vain, for the compromise his dec

Democratic measure and it fixes the
