THEY ARE JUST PLAIN
AMERICAN CHILDREN"
Why the Chief Executive Does Not Want His Brood Pho
geographical Declares They Will Be Spoiled if They
AGet Too Much Publicity-Holds They Are Not Public
Property.

"If my children are photographed
and written up every time they walk
into the village or appear on the
roads they'll soon lose their natural
ness and will grow up with false
ideas of their proper sphere" said
the president in discussing the mat
ter the other day to a friend.
They'll soon think that they are
personages of a great deal of inn
portance, when quite the reverse is
the fact. l want them to be and act
like the children of any other Ameri-
can citizen. Abecause their father
happens to be holding the job of
president does not make them one bit
smarter, one bit brighter, or one bit
better than any other children. 1 re-
sent very strongly any efforts to
make them public characters. 1 am
to a certain extent public property
myself on account of the position 1
hold, but they are not. They're just
plain children and their comings and
goings are of no more Importance to
the public than the comings and 60
ings of John Smiths sons and daugh-
ters."

Special Correspondence of The Press.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. s.
President Roosevelt is trying very
hard to bring up his children in the
good oldfashioned American way.
His aim is to make them sensible,
natural, straightforward boys and
girls, without airs devoid of self
consciousness, and forgetful of the
fact that their father is president of
the United States. Every summer
that he brings them home the presi-
dent is obliged to engage in a regular
warfare with those well-meaning per-
sons who all unconsciously are do
ing their utmost to defeat his plans.
First and foremost is the phOtog-
rapher who is attempting to snap"
the children at every turn of the
road; then there is the enthusiastic
writer for the magazine or newspaper
who has been sent to the presidents
town to get a story about the ROose-
welt kids; and last, but a long way
removed from least, Is the gushing
tourist who comes to "have a look"

one of the greatest injustices of
the Eastern oregon stock counties, in
the past has been the fact that thous-
ands of head of sheep have migrated
from one county to another, grazing
largely i'm counties in which they
paid no taxes thereby forcing home
sheep to migrate and range away from
home House bill 327, introduced by
Representative Donbin, of Wallowa
and Union counties, provides for the
division of taxes among the counties
in which sheep range during the year.
1t provides that a record shall be
range in any county, and the proper
ton of the annual tax which might
be due the county in which they
range shall be paid by the home
county. Another bill equally as inn
portant, Is house bill No. 1856, intro
duced by Sitz, of Malheur county,
taxing sheep that come into oregon
from other states, in like manner.
This practice has been burdensome
on many of the border counties of
oregon and this bill will yield a hand
some return to the state or keep out
foreign sheep.

discovered that in war disease kills
five where bullets kill one, and they
were certain that the proportion was
extravagant
They established the most wonder
full Red Cross system in the world,
and that body now has more than l.
100000 members. They had trained
nurses in hundreds, modern supplies
for use in the care of the sick and
wounded in unlimited quantities.
They studied the germ theory and
made war on bacteria the first of all,
and then studied serums until her
students expect to control dysentery,
typhoid, erysipelas and eventually tu-
berculosis. They wiped out that dread
Oriental disease, beri-berl, by scien-
tific feeding of men.
At the same time Japan discarded
the fuss and pomp of war, and brass
buttons and gold lace and other TOM
foolery are almost unknown.
What does it all amount to?
At the reserve hospital at Hiroshi-
ma, up to August last. $685. wounded
had been received. And at that time
but "a had died.
In seven trips made by the hospi-
tai ship Hakuai Maru 2406 wounded
men were transported and not a case
was lost in transit.
1t is asserted that in the first six
months of the war the loss from pre-
ventable diseases had been reduced to
fraction of l per cent.

ease.
If war is inevitable, and thing to

men should be killed legitimately, or

destroyed by diseases. that so otter

A WoNIAN's WISH.

Would I were lying in field of
clover,
OF clover cool and soft, and soft
and sweet.
With dusky clouds in deep skies hang
ing over.
And scented silence at my head and
feet.
Just for one hour to slip the leash
of Worry,
In eager haste, from Thoughts inn
patient neck,
And watch it coursing in its needless
hurry
Disdaining Wisdom's call or Duty's
beck!
All! it were sweet, where clover
clumps are meeting
And daisies hiding, so to hide and
rest;
No sound except my own hearts
sturdy beating,
Rocking itself tc sleep within my
breast
Just to lie there, filled with the
deeper breathing
That comes of listening to a wild
birds song.
Our souls require at times this full
unsheathing--
All swords will rust if scabbard-
kept too long!
And I am tired-so tired of rigid
duty,
So tired of all my tired hands find
to do!
yearn, I faint, for some of lifes free
beauty.
Its loose beads with no straight
string running through
Aye, laugh, if laugh you will, at my
crude speech;
But women sometimes die of such
a greed
Die for the small joys held beyond
their reach,
And the assurance they have all
they need.

The people of Yamhln county have
declared they would invoke the refer
endum on the appropriation bill pass
ed by the last legislature with the
intention of striking out the normal
school appropriations. The East Or
egonian believes in the referendum
amendments and assisted in securing
its passage by the people of Oregon,
but it really hopes the people of Will
lamette valley will not use this be-
neficent law to destroy the education
al hopes of Eastern Oregon.
The prime motive in invoking the
referendum at this time is to kill the
normal school appropriations and
thus discourage every movement to
distribute the educational facilities of
the state over the various portions
of the state needing them; the object
is to force a concentration of all the
state institutions at the state capital,
with one magnificent graft for Salem
and not crust for the outside cor
ners of the state.
In all the discussions of the refer
endum vote that have been made pub
lie since the adjournment of the leg
islature the one chief Objectionable
feature of the appropriation bill has
been the normal appropriations. The
people of willamette seem to be will
ling to tie up the appropriation bill
and force the state to a warrant
basis rather than allow the Eastern
and Southern Oregon counties to re-
ceiye the money given,for the support
of the growing normal schools.
If, by combining their forces against
the normal appropriations, the people
of willamette valley could defeat this
portion of the appropriation bill, it
would discourage future legislatures
in giving to the normals, and the OBJ
ject of the entire program suggested
by the people of Yamhill county is
to kill all outside state institutions
and concentrate them at Salem, which
depends upon the state capital for a
biennial injection of the elixir OF
life.
Eastern and Southern Oregon may
De able to uphold the normal appro-
priations by the referendum vote. 1t
is not certain, as Portland is always
an unknown quantity. But as the
money given to the normals is not in
excess of their needs and as the out
side portions of the state need the
normals, the East oregonian hopes
the willamette counties do not strike
this blow at the peoples schools

Are the business men wearing the
colors of the Women of Woodcraft?
If not, better put them on. This is
the biggest thing ever presented to
the city and it is within reach if the
campaign is properly conducted and
the actual business men show the
right interest. How many wives of
business men have sent in applica-
tions? How many have been inter-
ested in this subject? If the city is
to add a membership of 800 it is time
something was doing. This is a plain
business proposition in which Pen
dletOn can land the headquarters of
the order and add an endlessly in
creasing income to the city, by doing
something beside talking Join the
order and secure other members. If
you have to join the Woodmen first,
do ii. This is an Investment for you.
Every business man in the city will
be benefited by the coming of 40 high
salaried people to the city to spend
about $4,000 per year here, per-
petually Put on the colors and go
out to win this prize. Don't depend
ON the other fellow. If you lose it,
it will be through lack of activity. 1t
is conceded that Pendleton has the
best chance for landing the head
quarters.
