Oakland's Generosity
Shabbly Recognized
Mrs. Bernard Narrates
Tale Of AllegedMis-
treatment.

~ RIVEN to the verge of mental
- she alleges she received in the
Lobos Square refugee camp,
Mrs Anna Bernard of tent %. Third
avenue, section B, appeared yesterday
at the headquarters of the relief com
mittee to complain of c. P. Dickinson,
dining-room superintendent, and other
officials at the camp. The charge that
Mrs. Bernard makes is that Dickinson
forcibly took from her bread that she
was carrying from the dining room.
Mrs. Bernard further charges that
Dickinson refused her permission to
eat at the camp kitchen, and that she
was compelled while in i'll health to
walk a mile to the Harbor View camp
TO secure food. She alleges that her
complaints to Camp Commander DR.. w.
H. Winterberg were unheeded. and that
she was subjected to annoyance by
hoodlums and idle men in the vicinity Of
her tent in the camp.
At the camp a different story is told
by those in authority Camp Com
mander Winterberg and Superintendent
Dickinson deny emphatically that Mrs.
Bernard was assaulted, and maintain
that they have done everything in their
power to help and please her. They
are substantiated in their statements
by Red Cross superintendent E. G.
Schaupp, who tells of some alleged Pc
euliar actions on the part of Mrs. Ber-
nard.
Mrs. Bernard was questioned at relief
headquarters by D. p. Bicknell, and it
is probable that she will remove to the
Speedway encampment at Golden Gate
Park.

Curious Crowd in Cleveland

CLEVELAND, Aug. l. John D.
Rockefeller's double appeared as a wit

Anderson possesses features very
similar to Rockefeller's and a little
more hair, but is slightly smaller in

The sententious comment followed
the disclosure that the San Francisco
relief committee has been shabbily
treating Oakland officials and Oakland
citizens who went 10 the rescue on
those memorable days Of confiagratloh
and who unstintingly gave money, time
and labor in reaching helping mana

out Of the Oakland relief funds which
had been collected for the benefit OF
thousands of refugees who were driven
from the city across the bay.

crossed the Columbia river bar many
times. He has thus become more ia
miliar with the needs Of Oregon and
the Columbia river than any one else
could possibly be without this exre-
rience. He has for a long time been
studying the most effective methods
of acquiring definite knowledge of the
conditions of this phenomenal state
and the best means of presenting
them in appeals for the application OF
the required remedies through the
national congress.
The circumstance of Mr.. Shep-
herds shipping as a sailor to add to
his already extensive store OF knowl-
edge of the needs of this state illus
trates the fact that he is at ali times
a most practical man He is so in
everything he undertakes. He would
be a most practical congressman.
Those who know him and his business
methods, and who know his record
as councilman, can have no possible
doubt of that fact.
1t is becom ng more and more APP
parent to those interested that it is
the practical man we need in the ma
.uonal congressman who have
knowledge, experience and the wis
dom thus acquired; men who have
the courage of their convictions, and
men who have practical business
methods for the proper prosecution Of
any work they may undertake; men
of honor and men of high ambition.
Such man is Geo. S. Shepherd-and
we need him in congress.

THE PRIMARY LAW.

A good deal of complaint is made
of the primary law, because voters
have to declare their politics under
oath, and because only two political
parties are recognized in the prima-
ries. There are good many voters
these days who cannot conscientiously
declare that they are either Republi-
cans, Democrats, Socialists or Prohi-
bitionists. That is, they intend to
split their votes and pick and choose
the men to be voted for among the
candidates of two or more parties.
Besides, many voters do not think the
law should require them to disclose
their politics, and we think that in
these respects quite strong public
sentiment will arise in favor oi
