oregon IS PRACTICALLY
WITHOUT congressman

Portland, Or, Oct. 2.-The Wash.
ington correspondent of ths Oregonian
lays:
Unless Representative Williamson
and Hermann voluntarily resign their
seats, to which they were elected last
year, Oregon will probably go through
the Fifty ninth congress with but a
single vote, that Of Senator Fulton. 1t
is positively known that Senator
Mitchell cannot resume his seat in the
senate, though he may nominally hold
his position and draw his salary up to
the time his sentence is enforced.
Williamson's recent conviction denies
him the privilege of taking his seat,
though it does not legally create va.
canoy in the Second Oregon congress.
sional district, and therefore doee not
open the way for a special election to
fill that vacancy.
Until final decision is rendered by
the corut Of last resort, Williamson
will be permitted to retain his oreden.
tials and under no authority can q spe-
cial election be held in the meantime
to choose another congressman from
the Second district. Should the final
decision Of the courts clear Williamson
he will be sworn in, but If the final
verdict sustains the verdict of tho low
or court hs will be expected to imme.
diately tender his resignation. Failure
to do 80 would undoubtedly result in q
declaration Of vacancy by the house.
The foregoing is the universal opin-
ion Of officials Of the department Of
Justice who are in Washington.
What is true of Williamson will be
true of Binger Hermann If he shall be
convicted upon any one Of the indiot-
ments resting against him. In the
meantime, until his case comes to
trial, he will be denied the privilege
Of taking the oath.
In tho opinion of law officials there
is no way in which Oregon can have
representation in the house Of repre-.
sentatives next session unless Hermann
and Williamson relinquish their Gre
dentials and allow the voters Of tho
two districts at special election to
choose new representatives.
The coming session is one when Ore.
gon can ill afford to be without repre-
sentstion in the house and have only
half representation in the senate.
Many issues vital to the state will be
raised, and, without men to care for
the states interests Oregon must suffer.
1t is up to Williamson and Hermann
to say whether or not Oregon shall
have voice in the coming house.

MExICO'0 "DEvIl TREE"
Death to All Who Rest Within Its Fate
full ShadOw

Because OF the many fatal accidents
that have occurred under a huge tree
that grows In the Haciendita ranch, In
the ZamOra district. Michoacan, peas
ants of the region are growing more
and more superstitious about It's sup
posed fatal omen. and they begin to
call It "arbol maldlto" (cursed tree).
The tree Is supposed to be over sew
enty-fve years old, and Is said to have
been planted by man who, because
Of his enormous crimes and his forget
fulness Of the divine law, was swal-
lowed up by the earth. The man never
went to mass. never confessed, did
not have the image of saint in his
house. did not carry rosary around
his neck. and never made the sign of
the cross. There was not beggar in
the town who had ever received a
"tlacO chiquito" (old coins equivalent
to IA cents from him. He never gave
anything for the church and never took
off his hat when he met 'padrecito"
on the street.
1t was rumored that he was respon-
sible for many murders and other afro
cious crimes. but he was never in Jail.
neither could he be incarcerated be-
cause he had compact with the devil.
and whenever he invoked his satanic
majesty the latter rendered him either
invisible to human eyes or smaller than
an ant, so that he could easily escape
danger. He had no friends nor rela-
lives, because he was Stunned by all.
Two things he loved. birds and trees.
He planted numerous trees and fed
big fiocks of birds that knew him and
came to his home every morning to
pick the crumbs Of bread which he
threw in the patio
Many years ago, and this Is well re-
membered by the peasants, 1t was
Good Friday. Everybody in town had
attended the religious services Of the
morning and they were going to their
homes when a terrific noise was heard
They rushed to the street where it
came from. to find out what 1t was,
and saw how the earth had opened

official of the party said: "We are

commission or the commission meet
the party. No invitations were ex-
tended on either side. All matters
concerning the railroad commission

ent say the romance in which Miss
Alice Roosevelt and Representative
Longworth, Of Ohio, are the principal
figures seems likely to find a natural
ending at the altar at no distant day,
when Miss Roosevelt will become Mrs.
Longworth. Mr.. Longworth was most
attentive to Miss Roosevelt at all times
on the trip. It is said he rescued her
from a perilous situation on a trip
which some members of the party took
to the island Of Mindanao.
Miss Roosevelt, Mr.. Longworth and
several other members of the party
will return on the steamship Siberia.
Miss Roosevelt will be the first
White House bride in many years.

The Senator informed the consul that
retirement from the conSuicr service is
nothing to his discredit, after seven
years Of honorable work in the coun-
try's behalf. The intimauon which the
consul got was that there were not
enough places to go round and that
after one man had had his turn he need
not feel hurt If some other party worker
wanted chance of the same sort
Nevertheless the consul felt it would
be a hardship to be asked to step out

RIGHT EDUCATION

LABOR PROBLEM is SERIOUS

To certain extent l agree with
those people WHO say the more you
educate the negro tle more harm you
do him. said Richard Cheatham sec
retary OF the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton. while he was stopping at the New
Willard recently.
But it is only true when the negro
gets the wrong kind of education" con-
tlnued Mr.. Cheatham. Booker Wash
iDgton has the right idea, and for him
want TO say that he is the greatest
colored man in the world. The negro
wants the sort of education that he
can use. He wants training in those
things that will be useful to him. He
can't stand academic education alone,
because 1t doesn't equip him for any
thing he can find opportunity to do.
Give him a fair general education and
q good special education in some trade
or line of work II which ne can gain
admittance, and ne becomes as~useful
citizen. Manual training is the solu-
ton of the negro education problem
The South needs trained workmen, and
the negro needs the chance to improve
himself by reaching up to a higher
class of work.
Labor Problem Serious.
This whole question of labor is the
most serious we have in the South, and
we are starting toward its solution in
two ways. We are getting a larger and

MAKES MOST DECIDED HIT
Lecture by Denison Man Enthusiast
cally Received by Jefferson's
Elect.

An audience of three hundred persons
asse mbled by invitation at the Baptist
Church last Friday evening, to hear the
lecture on Ireland by Hon. P. E. c.
Lally, of Denison, who came to open the
years series of Mems Meetings of the
Friday Club. The appropriateness of the
lecture laid in the fact that ireland is
TO be one of the main themes of study for
the Club this year, not only in the after
noon. but in the evening sessions as we'll.
Mr.. Lally is an Irishman of Irishmen,
and he brought to bear all the the guns of
his eloquence upon his subject, VIII CHI was
the OPPRESSION of Ireland by the mother
country. Mr.. Lally has cause to feel
deeply on this question. out of the ex-
perience of his own household. and his
Views on both political and religious
phases of the subject were often very
radical: none the less those who did not
wholly agree with him enjoyed the ad-
dress hugely by reason of its wealth of
information, its virility, and its enbodi-
ment of the enthusiastic spirit of the speak
er. The Club and their guests are be.
holden to Mr.. Lally for his kindness in
coming over, and for the pleasure his lee
ture afforded. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Lally. and both were entertained by
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Wilson. Mrs. Lally
also visited her father, Mr.. James Hughes,
