THE CONTEMPLATED BREACH OF FAITH.

- Is a Breach Of faith nothing? Can "a political party in two important efc-
ton campaigns congratulate the people upon a legislative act that gave long
needed relief % their school districts make party capital ut of it and then when
securely placed in power repudate that legislative act and proceed to divert its
proceeds to other Uses? Is 10 that a breach of faith? Nay, is it not worse? In
the election campaigns in 1907 and 1908 every Republican speaker had something
to say in eulosy of the act of 1906. o. the craftsmanship that produced it and of
the benefits conerred. Die a single mothers son of them give the most remote
hint of purpose % take away the BENEFITS to the tune Of about a million dollars
for other purposes? There wasn't a whisper of the kind until after the Noven-
Der election. when the rumor got abroad that the Governor had a plan OF raising
new revenu for State expenditure. But let IS keep in plain sight this matter
of faith with the people. Is the plan to confscatet the school money to be car
rd out? Is there actually to be a breach Of faith. me If the worst in New

WHEN MATILDA GOES SHOPPING.

j.
Matilda went shopping
One morning last week,
She wanted some furniture
Odd and antique.
So she wandered all day
Through the various stores,
And she went through the stocks
On their numerous floors,
She looked at the laces,
The stockings, the suits,
The carpets, the bedsteads,
The toys and the boots.
She walked and she looked
Til, she nearly dropped dead,
And what did she get?
Some thread!
Matilda was tired,
She thought she'd go home,
So forth for a trolley
She started to roamE
She waited and waited
An hour or two,
And then she got angry
q guess you would too),
But far up the street.
Like a weak looking star,
She noticed the light
OF an opcoming car.
She signaled to stop
In a manner quite deft.
And what did she get?
Got left

sELF-CLEANING PROTECTOR FOR
CHAUFFEURS AND MOTORMEN

Consul Frank S. Hannah writes
from Madgeburg that a resident OF
Stassfurt in that German district has
recently perfected a device which
makes possible the window or strip
of celluloid in the curtain affording
protection to the chauffeur being
kept continually transparent In a
heavy snow or rain storm this WIN
dow Is often in few minutes rem

aims TO obviate by substituting for
the stationary window on endless
strip of celluloid, or some other suit
able material, which is kept revolv-
ing on hollers above and below and
at the same time is pressed against
a brush which removes the particles
of snow, etc, that obstruct the WIS.,
ion. The power for keeping this
strip in motion Is derived from the
engine. A drawing Of the new de-
vice is filed for public reference at
the Bureau Of Manufacturers.

that the position of road supervisor
pays so little that the progressive
farmers as a rule will not be both
cred with it and the Judge believes
that the office would be sought only
by and would fall into the hands OF
the shiftless farmer-to the injury
of the road system.
A similar bill was passed by a for
mer legislature but at the next BIZ
enniel session was repealed. It's
workings had been anything but sue
cesSful.
Judge Gilliland considers that
wherever individual supervisors are
employed in each district it is essen
tial that the county court have power
to summarily dismiss the men to pre-
vent graft in the offices and his op-
inion is based upon the unsatisfactory
experiences the court has had under
that system.

OPPOSITION To
ROAD MEASURE
PROPOSAL TO ELECT
SUPERVISORS NOT LIKED
Members of Umatilla County Court
and Others Think Plan would be
Detrimental to Good Roads
Supervisors in Each District Would
be Independent for Two Years.

The Umatilla county court is much
opposed to the passage of house bill
No. ?, recently introduced at Salem,
by Representative Jones of Clsckmas
county. The bill undertakes to pro-
vide for the election of road super
visors by the people of each road dis
trict and because such a proceeding
would virtually take the road work
out of the hands of the county court
Judge Gilliland is urging the Una
tilla delegation in the legislature to
oppose it.
In the opinion of Judge Gilliland
to chose a separate supervisor for
each road district and TO chose him
by election, giving him a two year
tenure of office, would result in leav-
ing the road work practically without
head, each supervisor doing practic-
ally as and what he chose.
Another bad feature lies in the fact
