CONVENTION
Continued from page y

ton OF Roosevelt" did his word,
seem to start the assemblage as BY
magic thrill Then instantly the
speech was drowned in the great
shout which went up from every side
as the delegates sprang to their feet
and waved their hats echoing bach
the tumult OF galleties which hut.
tering the handkerchiefs fans and
parasols broke into the moving color
and the whole assemblage joined in
the vociferous demonstration.
For a moment it seemed as though
one of those record-breaking uproars
Of the days Of Blaine and Mckinley
would sweep the convention from its
moorings, but the first outburst
spent itself within a minute and
gradually it subsidized until the calm
came again and soon the orator was
proceeding with the party's achieve
ments Every mention Of the presi-
dents name brought another waive
of enthusiastic tribute. Names OF
Taft and Root also sent cheers ring
ing from gallery to gallery. But
those whirlwinds of noisy dcmonstra-
ton which have fairly carried some
conventions off their feet did not
occur.
Formal proceedings Of the conven-
ton gave spectators an opportunity
to see three OF the conspicuous ac-
tors on the scene. Senator Z. Payne,
who moved that the rules Of the CON
vention prevail until the new rules
be presented Senator Long of Kan
sas, who presented the customary
resolution for appointments Of the
committees and Senator Lodge, who
cut SUOIl luC lllOllOtOllOuo dlDpplhB
OF names of committees by having
the lists turned into the secretary
without reading. There was but one
hitch and that was momentary when
Senator Burrows announced that
Louisiana had completed two distinct
lists for its state delegation. He
speedily explained that the difficulty
had been adjusted by an agreement
whereby no member from Louisiana
would be represented on any Of the
committees of the convention.
Congressman Burke Of Pittsburg
took early occasion to get before the
committee on resolutions plan to
reduce representatin at future ma
tional conventions. It was 2 o'clock
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-06-17

when the last formality was accom-.
phshed and the convention adjourned
Tonight the work OF the commit
tees proceeding while the hotel cor
ridors continue to be scene OF heat
ed discussion over the vice-prcsi
dency and platform Of permanent or.
ganization Of the convention has been
fully outlined by the committee in
charge OF work with A. r. Smith as
the permanent chairman. The work
Of the committee on credentials and
resolutions has been marked by a
greater difficulty and the reports
which come from their deliberations
indicate the sharp contention before
the final details OF the credentials and
platform are effected.
The boom Of Governor Cummins
for the vice-presidential nomination
was the distinctive feature OF the day
in the contest for second place on the
ticket and it received much favorable
consideration. Senator Borah, who
early this morning started the boom
spent much Of the day sounding the
western delegations in his behalf
and at the close of the day, announc-
ing that he had found much cncour-
agement The mention of Cummins
name was received with varying emo
tions by the members of Iowa dele
CATION and it was soon evident that
should the governors name be press
ed, others than the so-called Cum
Minis faction would support him Sew
eral Allison-Dolliver adherents
promptly announced that as matter
Of state pride if for no other reason
they would support the governors
candidacy. A number of Iowa friends
of Cummins stated though, they did
not communicate with him, they
would assume the responsibility pre-
senting the claim OF the Iowan to
second place in the event that Taft
managers at Washington showed the
purpose to insist on an Iowa man for
the place.
There was much discussion during
the day Of the possibility Of nomina-
ton going again to Fairbanks. There
is strong sentiment in his behalf and
many predict he will again receive
the honor Of nomination unless the
convention can be made to believe
if nominated he will decline. The
vice-president is doing his best to
create this impression and all the in
quiries met with uniform response
that he will not accept.

COUNTYSCHOOLSARE
THRIVING
s
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW
WITH MISS EMMA c. WAR
rem, COUNTY SUPERIN-
TENDANT.

According to the county superin-
tendent of schools the conditions oi
the 81 school districts in Clatsop
county is in highly satisfactory condi.
ton. Year by year the clerks and
other school officials have been grad.
ually taking keener and more per-
sonal interest i'll the schools, and
slowly but surely the character OF
the teaching force has been assum-
ing higher average. Clatsop's
country schools now rank fairly
high.
I'm a general way" said Miss
Emma c. Warren, the county super
intendent, the country schools are
in excellent shape. OF course, there
are few exceptions to this, as in a
few of the districts there is much to
be desired, but all in all can safely
say that conditions are good.
Some districts don't pay their
teachers enough" went on Miss
Warren, but on the other hand the
pay of the teachers in many OF the
schools is satisfactory ,and in few
the pay is good When | say it is
good, ! mean that it is conlmensu-
ate with the character of the teachers
employed. Some of the districts
have really excellent teachers. Cliff
ton pays $40 month, and so does
Olney. The average salary is about
$50 But that is not high when the
high rating of many Of the teachers
is considered. While some of the
teachers, who are practically all
women, are merely beginners, on the
other hand many are finely exper-
fenced and several hold life or state
certificates"
The lowest salary paid in the coun-
ty during the past year was $40 a
month. The district offered the young
woman teacher $35, only, but Miss
Warren says she wrote to the young
lady, telling her not to teach for less
than $40. The district apparently paid
the sum asked This was in a small
district, however, where any big pay
ment was not of the question. The
state law requires that if the taxes
apportioned to the schools is not
used up during the schol year, that
it shall revert to the county. The law
IS both plain and imperative. Yet in
times past there was a general re-
luctance on the part of school officials
to permit the unused funds, if any, to
revert to the county, but acting in
conjunction with the state school au-
thorities Miss Warren will endeavor
TO see that the provisions of the law
are complied with Compliance with
the law simply means better school
conditions; means that school is
kept up; while noncompliance means
no school or a shorter term.

STRENUOUS AFFAIR
FOR DIR. HOLT
HAD TO ovER-RULE ORDERS
FROM WASHINGTON THAT
THE TRANSPORT SHERMAN
SHOULD SAIL.

If Secretary OF War William II
Taft were not 50 busily engaged ii
the affairs OF the National Republi
can Convention now in session al
Chicago he might be knitting hi,
brows over comparatively slight
matter in Astoria that has arisen ir
relation to the quarantined transport
Sherman.
Soon after entering port with her
yellow flag flying, the acknowledgement
of the military department of the
Columbia sent terse message to the
sailing master OF the Sherman. In
effect the message read: "The Sec
retary of War directs that transport
Sherman proceed forthwith to San
Francisco. Acknowledge receipt and
wire hour of departure.
That was Sunday. But the trans
port did not go despite the order
from the war over lord; and she was
held here because DR.. J. M. Holt,
the quarantine officer, ordered her to
remain. Thus there arose an appar-
ent clash of authority between Sec
retary of War Taft and DR.. Holt, but
the clash is more apparent than real.
Entirely aside from the stand taken
by DR.. Holt being justified by the re-
suits, the matter has different ex-
planation.
There was no real cause OF au-
thority," said DR.. Holt, "or, at least,
there was no such intention on my
part. The law provides that when
the ship entered quarantine that she
fell entirely within the Jurisdiction OF
the quarantine officer; and at the same
time the military jurisdiction ceased
to the extent that no one but the
quarantine officer could control the
movements of the vessel.
"The message to go to San Fran
cisco was probably sent without in
tention to interfere with the quaran-
tine authority; probably it was a
mere oversight
1T was my duty to control the
matter" went on Dr. Holt, and |
did to the best of my ability"
Among those familiar with the mat
ter there has been much comment
about the fine executive ability and
the firm stand taken by DR.. Holt
That he had to assert his authority
when the message from the war de-
partment was shown to him is now
pretty well known. Had the sailing
master of the Sherman started in to
obey the message from the war de-
part and to ignore Dr. Hollis order
to remain, pretty situation would
have arisen. This is not the first time
that DR.. Holt has met the emergency
of quarantining a vessel, and the
subject was not new to him. The
matter has been a great physical and
mental strain on him, however, and
he has been the busiest man in AS
toria since Sunday.

away down Third street and at

and breaking a shaft. The horse
attached to the buggy was thrown
