but Mr.. Snedicor is entirely capable

The Senior class is already prepar.
ing for commencement; it is a good
showing for the High School that
there are just twice as many In the
class which GRADUATES this year, as
there we're last year. In fact. the
class of 1907, which has eight mem.
bers, will be the largest which has
ever graduate since the Grants PAS
High School has had the regular
four years course. Fritz Dean is the
president and Aunabella Leith the
secretary of this illustrious class.
Their colors are gold nd white.
Another new program has been
made out for recitation periods. The
time of classes are changed somewhat.
put there is not much difference, only
drawing class, which was small
enough in the first place, has been di.
vided up into three classes, which for.
merly was one.
The boys see med to have been
livened up by the nice warm weather
for at mot any time outside of school
hours you can see a crowd of boys
either jumping, vaulting, putting the
shot or some other field day sport on
the school grounds. The basket ball
baskets have also been moved from the
hall where they were during the rainy
weather, to their old place in the
school yard.
Our library has again been endowed
with another addition of books, this
time NTH "a volumes, of mostly his.
lorv, by W, b. Sherman. This add
tion is greatly appreciated by ell con.
cerned for our library, though fine for
scientific researh all literature, is not
so good for history.
On Wednesday evening. Nav /, W.
L. Findlsy, president of the Audubon
Society of Oregon, will deliver lee.
ture in the High School Room on
"The Birds of Oregon" without
doubt it will be very instructive and
should be interesting to young and
old alike.
Word has been received from our
former principal, A. f. Harrison and
we were glad to hear that he likes
his work at Pendleton very we'll. He
has six classes daily, three in algebra
and three in geometry.
Since the physics class has taken up
the study Of electricity under Mr..
Snedicor, the sparkling going on in the
library is simply shocking.

BRICK COURTHOUSE NIPPED.
Plan to Fut Little Structure in City Hall
Park Has Been Killed.

The early frost of criticism has nipped in the
bud the project to build temporary two and one
half story brick courthouse in City Hall Park. at
Centre and Chambers streets. Mayor Mcclellan is
against the scheme. and the money has not been
appropriated. there is no chance that the Board
of Estimate and Apportonment will set aside $4,000
for the work.
The killing OF the plan Father Knicker-
booker from a long continued fire OF jbes. The
building would have been put the corner of
Centre and Chambers streets, across the street
from the new Hall of Records. and would have
materially detracted from its appearance. The
bridge extension into the edge of City Hall Park
would have been bad enough, II was said and the
critics said that the new courthouse would
have been a distinct architectural horror.
Plans under way for adding story to the
old city Court building. providing for three of the
new Justices. The city will have to hire rooms for
the other three The sum of $4,000 will be used in
extending the attic story of the old City Court
building a height of about twelve feet. Fire
escapes. steam heating, interior walls and other
things will be necessary. There is hope that the
work will be done by the end of the year.

FOR NEU CONSTITUTION.
Chief Justice Clark Sees Nothing
Good an " "4ntiquated Document.

Curbng of the power of the President. direct
election by the people of United States Senators
and justices of the Supreme Court and the sub
stituton of democratic constitution for the pres
ent "antquated document were recommended last
night by Chief Justice Walter Clark. of the Su-
preme Court of North Carolina. in an address be
fore the Peoples Institute at Cooper Union
Justice Clark who service colonel on
the Confederate side during the Civil War. in con-
tributing to the literature the current popular
topic of Constitution mending and Interpretation
found particular fault with the system that allowed
five elderly lawyers of the Supreme Court to do the
only possible amending of the Constitution. while
lC0O00.000 people, for whom that document
supposed to have been written looked helpless
seeing it construed" in the interests of big busi
interests.
The Constitution. according to Justice Clark, is
not only now out OF date but always 1t
was never intended by it's trainers. he declared to
make 1t an instrument to place the government Of
the Union where it is popularity supposed to be
lodged, in the hands of the people. but to take it
safely away from them and put il at the mercy
of the commercial interests. As amendment under
the present provisions of the Constitution out
OF the question. President Roosevelt was clear
headed man to recognize that the Supreme Court.
though the Constitution contained a line which
gave 1t the power to amend the Constitution. had
appropriated TO itself that function by "constru-
ing it. he said. Realizing this fact, he was keen
enough to ask the court to ''construe'' it over
again when he needed the power he wanted for
the welfare of the people.
The remedy for the present undemocratic docu-
ment Is. according to Justice Clark, for two-thrds
of the states TO petition for constitutional
vention to reconsider the work of the convention
of 1857 and to enact document which is really up
to-date and abreast of the times. Although the
Constitution provides for amendments the votes
of two-thirds of Congress or two-thirds of the
states, Justice Clark pointed that it would
be easy matter for big corporate interests to
obtain control Of the legislatures in eleven
states and thus prevent needed amendment.
Justice Clark favored the curtaiIment of the
Presidents powers.
More limitation sould be placed upon the power
of the President" he said 1.-The Presidents term
was originally fixed at seven years and he
made ineligible to reelection. but before the adop
tion Of the Constitution these provisions
altered to fouryear term. with eligibility to re-
election. An amendment making the term six
years and the President ineligible to reelection
has long been desired by large portion of the
public"
