to Committees Starts Diatribe on the
Part of Democratic Members of the
House-Banking Law Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE resolu.

to the several committees. furnished oc-
casion in the House today for number
OF speeches mostly by Democrats. They
covered a variety OF subjects, but the
ones that attracted special attention

OF New York. The former not only made
plea for the restoration OF in God We
Trust" on American coins, but discussed
the cruise of the American battleships
and referred to the possible conflict with
Japan.
Willet placed all the blame for the
recent financial panic on the President,
whom he denounced in severe terms. He
charged the President with not being a
sensible man and with having turned on
the gas not to light. and with going
up and down the country condemning
and striking with the big stick great in
dustrial interests.
THE President has gone forth day
after day to the people and declared
to them that the men who hold the
reins of our great industrial institu-
tions are dishonest and not worthy of
our confidence.
I'VE want cheer. We don't want our
chief executive going up and down the
country condemning and striking with
his big stick everything that sticks its
head up
What was wanted he said, was a
man to perform his duties with dignity
and power and with the influence of all
sane men behind him.
at has been said our President is
sincere" he continued, "He may be so,
but we want good sense in the President
along with sincerity"
He declared the President was not a
sensible man and concluded, SIT is be-
cause of what | charge him with, with
all the powers of my mind and body
as my profound conviction, that because
of his lack of sense and lack of due
appreciation of the true condition OF
our nation, that we have this panic to-

Officers Active in Preventing Childish
Franks Which Cause Damage.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE annual re.
port Of the society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children shows that there
IL a slight decrease in the number OF
arrests Of children during 1907. The re.
port advocates the formation of a
state board Of Juvenile probation under
the direction Of the city magistrates,
and justices OF the courts OF general
sessions.
The report says that 1874 boys and
girls. total Of l497 children, were
paroled last year.
The average of reformation in the
year past stood at 80 per cent, gain OF
one per cent over the average for the
FIVE years In which the Chiliren's Court
has been in operation.
The number Of children brought be.
fore the court in 1907 was nearly 20O(
larger than in 1906. This increase il
regarded rather as result OF increased
activity than OF increased criminal pro
pensities in the wrong.
Many children were arrested in Tho
last year for building bonfires in the
streets and ofrenses TO which the police
gave little attention until recently.

UMATILLA COUNTY PRECINCT
Is SMALLEST IN STATE.

The four registered voters of Rud-
dock precinct, on Meacham creek,
are puzzling their brains today over
whether they may, or may not vote
at home, for four registered voters
are not enough to act as judges and
clerks of election.
Ruddock bears the distinction Of
having the fewest voters in any pre-
oinct in oregon. In the spring cleo
tions last year it was impossible to
secure enough voters for the officers
and no election was held in the pre-
cinct. the voters all going to Bingham
springs to vote. 1t is probable the
same thing will be done tomorrow.
When registration opened this fall
there were five voters in the precinct.
None were added; one man withdrew.
The voters left are f 6. Wilbur. B.
F. Brown and John and Jim Bryson.
Ruddock was established as a pre-
cinct years ago when a saw mill en-
ploying many men was located in that
neighborhood. The mill has long
been moved. however, and the pre-
cinct is regarded by the county Off
cials as a sort of vermform appen-
dix. It is expected that it will be
abolished and that the territory will
