TAFT CLAIM IN
OREGON i

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 3d.
Twenty-Five thousand, five hundred
and seventy-five is the majority
which Secretary C. N. Macarthur of
the Oregon republican state central
committee says will be cast in this
state in favor of Taft.
These figures were agreed upon
by Mr.. MrArthur and Max G. Cohen
today, after Is minutes work, and
are said by the republican secre-
tary to be very conservative.
1T is more likely that the state
will go for Taft by 10000 majority"
said Mr. Cohen. THE figures in
our estimates are based on the reg
istration in the various counties
and on reports which we are con-
stantly receiving. We claim that
Taft will carry every county in Ore
gon. We don't concede a single
county to the democrats"

J. F. PEARSON WANTED

Information as to whereabouts of
J. F. Pearson is desired by j. A.
Ketchersid, his brother, who writes
from Sasakiva, Okla, to the chief
of police. The letter says that
Pearson was last heard of in this
city seven years ago. He was at
one time vice president of a mer-
camille concern in Endicot and is a
Mason.
1t was suggested that the county
records might show something rel
ative to Pearson but investigation
reveals nothing concerning him.

Signs of Long Life

Every person, according
) to a medical writer, bears
physical indications of his
) prospects of a long or short
life. THE primary conditions
) of longevity are that the
) heart, lungs and digestive
organs, as well as the BRAIN,
should be large. If these
organs are large the trunk
will be long and the limbs
comparatively short. The
person will appear tall in
sitting and short in stand
ing. The hand will have
long and somewhat heavy -
palm and short fingers. The
blue or brown hazel eye, as
showing an intermission of
temperament, is favorable
indication. The nostrils, if
large, open and free, indi
1cate large lungs. A pinched
and half closed nostril indi-
Gates small or weak lungs"

article 81 of our state constitution
would not be due process of law;
for it would be rival say ha h
the above rule does not require
that the use must be public use in
fact.
To legalize a constructive public
use would be the virtual abrogation
of the rule itself. Under. the .consti-
tuition of the United States that
can not be legalized.
That was the intention Of article
81 of our state constitution, which
declares that "the use of the waters
of this state for irrigation, mining
and manufacturing purposes shall
be deemed public USE" But, in
Tacoma Industrial Co. VS.. White
River Power Co., 80 Pac. $50, the
supreme court said: "A state is
powerless to declare, either by con-
stitutional provision or by statute,
use to be public which is essen
tally and inherently private" The
court said the article violates the
due process clause of the federal
constitution.
Now, the proposed constitutional
amendment relating to logging rail
roads is identical in principle, and
is intended to accomplish it's object
in the same way as article 81. Sec

OPPOSITION

} The Press some time ago
asked Judge Poindexter for
} a statement of his attitude
} toward the reelection of
} Cannon as speaker of the
} house.
At that time Judge Poin-
, dexter could not see that the
! question concerned his own
) campaign for congress. He
did consider that the views
of a new member cut much
figure in the matter. He
did not know what he would
do until he got to Washing
ton.
Lately the judge appears
to had a revelation and now
says he will vote for any
one else than Cannon. If
the republican scheme car
ries through there is not
likely to be any other candi-
date for speaker to vote for.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-10-30

John Pattison, democratic candi-
date for governor, is in a peculiar
position. He is opposed on one
hand by the saloon interests of the
state and on the other by the Anti
Saloon league. The saloon men
have been against him because of
their dislike of the prohibition dec
laration of the democratic platform
and the Anti-Saloon league is
against him because he would not
declare for local option bill the
character of which he knew moth
ing about.
A.. In his brief talk at the democrat
ic rally at the Masonic temple last
night Pattison told of the efforts of
loyal W. Raymond of the Wash
ington Anti-Saloon league, to pledge
him in writing to local option bill
such as advocated by the league.
Mr.. Pattison refused to be pledged
to any measure the character OF
which was vague and uncertain and
said further that he thought it i'm
proper to try to influence legisla.
ton in advance by pledging the
executive arm of the state govern
ment to measure, the enactment
of which lay with the legislative
department.
He said Raymond had followed
him in person or by wire and phone
over the state trying to secure the
desired statement and finally had
told Pattison the league would OPP
pose him in the election, to which
Pattison responded:
1T makes no difference to me,
Mr.. Raymond, whether l am elected
governor or not, if / have to betray
my independence and self respect
to gain the Office"
The meeting at the Masonic tenn.
pie was the best in the point of en-
thusiasm and interest that the dem.
ocrats have had during the cam
paign. The hall was packed, with
the standing room in the aisles ia
ken and hundreds were unable to
gain admission. The chief address
of the evening was by William
Good year, candidate for congress,
who delivered one of the most eff
fective speeches heard here during
! the campaign. William Blackman
presided over the meeting.
Il think 1t a poor policy to try to
build yourself up by tearing some
one else down" said Mr.. Goodyear.
This campaign has been waged on
principles and policies and not on
personalities, and / haze carefully
avoided saying anything that will
reflect on the character of my oppo.
nent Judge Poindexter.
The vital question today is, shall
the people rule? The people of this
country never will rule while Joe
Cannon is speaker of the house OF
Representatives. In every speech
for the last month | have asked
Judge Poindexter if he would vote
for Joe Cannon if elected. He has
realized that this question must be
answered, and at Colfax Mr.. Poin
dexter said he would vote against
Cannon.
Il now ask him to tell you if he
will pledge himself to vote against
Joe Cannon If the latter is the eau
Gus nominee for speaker. If Poin
dexter thinks Cannon is not a fl
man for speaker he ought to be
willing to pledge himself to this eff
feet.
Judge Poindexter also sidesteps
the question of guarantee of bank
depocits, Endorsed in the republican
state platform, and evades it by

population of New Orleans con-
sisted approximately of 1000
souls.
The religious part of the COM
munal life was concentrated in
three Synagogues, viz: Gates of
Mercy, the Dispersed of Judah,
and Gates of Prayer. The dis
pensing Of charity was conferred
in the Hebrew Benevolent So
ciety," created in 1914, and the
Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent AS
sociation," organized in 1847.
The former attended to the wants
and needs of the poor; it provid-
ed medical aid and medicine for
the sick; it helped the poor inn
migrant, entirely without the
means of earning a living; it took
care of the fatherless and moth
erless, and relieved the distressed
and the widow. In fact, it COW
cred every branch of charity, in
all it's manifold ramifications,
and in all these it received the
support of the sister society.
The fatal epidemics of yellow
fever of 1847, and more especial
ly of 1853, had carried desoIation
in their train, and the result was
the rapid increase of widows and
orphans, and also of additional
distress amongst the poor.
The burdens of the association
grew necessarily, and the strain
upon it became very great.
At this time there were no
very rich people, in the sense con-
veyed by the wealth of the pres
ent day.
With the exception of a few
old families, the greatest por-
ton Of the population of that
time was the result of gradual
emigration, and, too short a time
had elapsed since their arrival
for them to effect a great accum-
ulation of worldly goods. In one
brief sentence, the Jewish COM
munity had but moderate means
and resources.
The leaders Of thought, and
the men who had to bear the
brunt Of the untowar1 and anon
alous conditions, gave it the most
serious attention.
Mr., Joseph Simon was, at that

brew Benevolent Society, Rev.
James X. Gutheim, it's Vice Pres
ident, and Mr.. Joseph Magner.
the Secretary.
1t could easily be foreseen that
the burdens and difficulties
which were besetting the Society
on all sides would, unless re
lieved in some manner, wreck it.
And then the idea was brought
forward for the creation of a
separate body for the support
and maintenance of the widow
and the orphan. To this end, the
above named executive officers of
the Society issued a call for a
mass meeting of the Israelites of
the city, to convene on the 25th
day Of November, 1854, at the
old Masonic Hall, on st. Charles
street.
A goodly number attended on
that day, and the meeting was
organized by electing Mr.. Ger
shom Kursheedt as Chairman,
and Rev. James K. Gutheim as
Secretary.
The President Of the Hebrew
Benevolent Society, Mr.. Joseph
Simon, stated the purpose of the
call to be the establishment Of an
asylum for poor widows and or
phans. The subject ELECTED a gen
eral discussion, in which many
divergent opinions were eX-
pressed. No decision was ar
rived at, however, at this meet
ing, and a motion was carried to
adjourn to meet again on the Sd
day of September, so as to en-
able the community to consider
the proposed measure in the
meantime.
On the meeting reconvening on
the third day of September, the
wisdom of the adjournment be
came manifest, for unanimity be-
came the prominent feature of its
transactions. 1t instructed the

In the life of faith the soul continu-
ally pursues God through all that hides
him, and, if faithful, never stops in
this pursuit. All roads bring it nearer
to God; all things are means of leading
1t to him. Whether God affiicts or
comforts the soul it will equally adore
him to be indeed its Lord and its God.
If we had faith we should be at peace
with all creatures, thanking them in
our heart for all the sufferings they
cause us, because they greatly help to
perfect us. The more nature rebels,
the more firmly will faith say: Cali
comes from God, or is allowed by him,
and therefore all is good.n
