Reasons for Support.

Merely from the economic stand
point, it is of the utmost consequence
to ali of our citizens that institutions
such as this at Tuskegee should be
success. But there are other and even
higher reasons that entitle it to our
support. In the interest of humanity,
OF Justice and Of self-preservation, ev-
cry white man in America, no matter
where he lives, should try to help the
negro to help himself 1t is in the in
terest and for the protection of the
white man to see that the negro is ed
ucated. 1t is not only the duty Of the
white man, but it is to his interest to
see that the negro is protected in prop
erty, in life and in all his legal rights.
The Law Should be obeyed.

honorably TO secure the appointment,
and was receiving assurances of sup

Salem, Ore, May 10.-ln an opinion
rendered by Justice Bean. of the su-
preme court this morning, it is held
that conducting poolrooms in this
state is against peace and public de-
cency, and is prohibited by the laws
of the state. This opinion was rem
dered in the case of the state of Ore
gon VS.. NJ. G. Nease, the latter being
proprietor of the Turf Exchange, of
Portland. Action was brought to
close up places of business where
pools were sold on horse races on the
different tracks of the country. Af-
firming the decree of Judges Frazer
and George, Judge Bean says;
THAT such a house is a gaming or
gambling house and conducting it
punishable as a nuisance at common
law, whether betting on a horse race
is a crime or not, has so often and
uniformly been held by the courts
that it is no longer open to discussion.
There is no dissent in the adjudged
cases, and it is unnecessary TO do
more than cite authorities.
by its charter the city of Portland
Is authorized to prevent and suppress
gaming and gambling houses. but not
to make such places lawful by licens-
ing them, nor, as we understand it,
are these positions seriously contro-
Verted by the defendant, but his con-
tention is that there is no law I'm this
state for the punishment of the keep
er of a common gaming house"
History OF the Case.
The appellant was indicted Novem-
ber II, 1904. The act complained of
was that between October 20 and
November 1, 1904, the defendant did
for gain habitually sell pools upon
horse races and procure idle and evil
disposed persons to come to his house
to buy pools and bet upon horse
races, to the common nuisance of all
good citizens. and contrary to the
statutes in such cases made and pro-
vided and against the dignity and
peace of the state of Oregon. A gen.
eral demurrer was overruled and the
trial resulted in a verdict of guilty.
A 5000 fine was imposed and the de-
fendant appealed.
The only question presented on the
appeal was whether keeping a house
where pools upon horse races were
bought and sold constitute crime
under section 1880 of the code. The
prosecution contended that that sec
tion of the code is re-enactment of
the common law upon the subject of
public nuisance in the particulars
specified, and that to learn of the
meaning of such phrases as grossly
disturbs the public peace" or "open-
ly outrages the public decency, and is
injurious to public morals" recourse
must be had to the common law nuis-
ance.

improvement of the roads and streets
and in the preparation of road and
street material.
We recognize the oregon road law
of 1905, known as the "Tuttle Act"
as just and equitable i'm principle, and
we express the hope that the people
and the county courts of the state will
make a special study thereof and util-
ize its provisions as far as possible, to
better roads for the commonwealth
the end that its purposes in securing
may be reached.
".
That in this connection the newspa-
pers of Oregon are urged to publish
the vital portions of laws governing
public roads and highways and es-
partially to explain the provisions of
the new laws which go into effect
May 10, 1905.
VI.
We believe that the principal pub
lie roads should be under state super
vision and the direction of highway
commission or state engineer in order
that a uniform system of public high
ways may be provided; and further
that the state by general law should
provide for this highway department
and should make appropriations from
time to time to aid the counties and
districts in the construction of these
public roads, the proportion to be
paid by each to be prorated equita-
bly,; that we respectfully commend
this subject to the consideration of the
state legislature next to assemble.
VII.
In acceptance of the principle that
public roads are integral parts of our
transportation system and are pri-
marily essential in our internal de-
velopment; that they are necessary
to the extension and efficiency Of ru-
raj mail delivery; that they are es-
sentially interstate and national in
character; we favor the cooperation
of national, state and local govern
ments in their construction and main
tenance, and most respectfully urge

Gentlemen of the Good Roads and

growing out of the small beginning
which marked the inception of this

the greatest of modern Industrial
campaigns.

government and state aid for good
roads, when in former years immense
and magnificent land grants were
given to promote corporations for
railroad and private military wagon
road building. II there could be no
objection to giving land grants to
such purposes, why should there be
objection to state and government aid
for good wagon roads by which AL
the people will be directly benefited
THE people are gradually being ed

building and the time will soon come
when a road tax will be considered

Il is the legitimate sphere of the

which have been given to private cor

Chicago. May 16.-Whether the
strike will spread to all the teamsters
in Chicago or enter upon a stage Of
peaceful negotiations for settlement
is the question that is hanging in the
balance today.
The coming of President GomperS
and the executive board of the broth
erhood is looked upon as favorable to
peace methods on the part of the
teamsters. On the otner hand, the
importation of more strike breakers
today, with the uncompromising at
titude of the employers, gives the
situation a more warlike aspect.
President Shea, President Dold and
Joseph O'Neill, representing the
freight handlers, and other labor
leaders had a conference with Mayor
Dunno this morning. 1t is said the
mayor asked the labor leaders not to
spread the strike and to use every ef-
fort to prevent further disturbances
pending the mayors effort to bring
about arbitration through the medi-
um of council committees. The labor
men promised the mayor to use their
utmost authority to keep the situa-
ton peaceful. but insisted the en-
ployers take no steps tending to in
cite the teamsters to radical action
