COL. SPALDING
IN NORTHWEST

PORTLAND, April 27.-rhere is a
possibility, and in fact a probability,
that the Laid Estate Company is not
itself to build at the norwest corner
of Third and Washington streets, as
was announced some weeks ago. A
deal has developed that may relieve
the company from the task o. putting
up the big office structure Oh its own
account, but will still provide for the
completion of the building as origin
ally intended.
Information was obtained yesterday
that Colonel q. S. Spalding, owner OF
the Perkins Hotel property, had made
an offer to buy the corner and to put
up building that would provide quar-
tiers on the first floor for occupancy
by the bank.
1t was learned further that Colonel
Spalding had negotiated a loan with
an Eastern insurance company in suf-
ficient amount to furnish what funds
he requires in addition to his avail
able capital to buy the land and build
the 10-story Office structure.
Mr.. Spalding is in Southern Califor-
mia and is expected to be in Portland
in a few weeks. The lessees of the
Perkins said last night that they are
not informed of the plans of the own
Ell of that building, but added that
rumors were to the effect that the Ha-
waiian capitalist intends to buy the
corner of Fourth and Stark and build
an annex for the reason that the own
ers of that corner will not sell.
1t is known by intimate acquain-
tances of Mr.. Spalding that he has
great confidence in Portland realty
and some of them say that it would be
no matter of surprise il he had made
the offer to the Ladd Estate Company.
Officers of the estate company are
Ieticent concerning the deal, saying
that it is contrary to the policy of the
company to announce prospective
transactions in which II is interested.
At the same time they did not deny
that some such deal as that for the
Washington-street corner had been
brought up and was being considered
but no definite conclusion had been
reached
Tenants of the stores and offices in
the Ladd corner are preparing to move
out, which leads to the conclusion that
whether Colonel Spalding or the es-
tate company is to erect the building,
work on the demolition Of the present
structures will start in the near flu
ture.

TO
MISS FELKER

A great many Salinas people will re-
gret to read of the death in Honolulu
of Miss Allie M. Felker, who many
years ago was a very popular and sue
cessful teacher in this city. William
E. Felker of Santa Cruz received a
cablegram on Monday announcing her
death and stating that her remains
would be embalmed and sent to Santa
Cruz for interment in the family plot,
Miss Felker came to California from
her native State, Wisconsin, when a
small child with her parents. She was
graduated from the Santa Cruz high
school. Later she attended the State
normal in San Jose, and became one
of the leading Undergraduates of the
State, and was an instructor in the
normal for several years. Before go
ing to the State normal she was a
teacher in the public schools of Sail

mas. Her Salinas pupils are now
grown and all have pleasant memories
of their relations with her.
After the death of her father Obed
Felker, eight years ago at Santa Cruz,
she went to Honolulu to reside Reach
ing there at the time of the plague
epidemic, she endeared herself to ma
tives and aliens by turning nurse and
caring for the sick She had a won
derful mind and was a writer of abil-
ity, her poems having been published
in book form. She came in close con-
tact with the natives of Hawaii, and
her works on folklore of the Ha-
waiians are standard. She was on the
staff of the governor, and, as principal
of one of the largest schools, she has
worked for the betterment of the races
there. She was 40 years of age.-Sa-

THE FIGHT STILL ON FOR
PURE FOOD.

Harvey w. Wiley is engaged ia the
york Of a pioneer for fair dealing. For
that work are needed information,
courage, resolution, pertinaeity. Tt is
required of the chief of the Bureau &C.
Chemistry that he shall be an eloquent
advocate in q good cause, not "a court
Of appealsf and it was to be expected
that the ideal man in such "a post,
whether Dr. Wiley OF another, would
arouse the ingenious opposition Of
nearly every food producer whose
wares needed regulation.
So there may well be surprise that
any official or newspaper attaches sig
nificance TO the opposition with which
DIR. Wiley is constantly confronted.
They might as well wonder at the re-
sentiment Of the oounterfeiter and an
srchist when yanked up by the Secret
Service It is an inevitable incident to

AN INFLUENTIAL DEMAND
FOR EASIER DIVORCE.

The apparent tendency Of reasoning
before the meeting Of the American
Sociological Association at Atlantic
CITY was for still easier divorces
rather a surprising change from the
heretofore perpetual protest against
the ease with which at present divorces
may be obtained. We are hearing
about easy marriage we are hear
ing about easier divorce.
The arguments are inconsistent.
Marriage either must mean, as in the
past. seIf-sacrifce and serious, heavy
aud real cooperation in the greatest
Of human undertakings, the rearing of
families, OF it must mean the mere as
ISOLATION Of man and woman for their
oun comfort, pleasure and convenience.
II the former, divorce should be an
extreme remedy, applicable only In the
most urgent instances. If the latter,
marriage. a. we have understood the
term may as well be abandoned

Raises a Question
In Labor Editorial

January .. 1903.
Editor The washington Times
Washington, d. G.
Dear sir:
Permit me to call your attention TO
an error Of fact upon which. In part,
seems to have been predicated your
very excellent editorial of yesterday. en-
tllIed Does Labor Seek Inequality Be
fore the Law"
The error ia fact consists in the as
sumption that the I'VE Don't Patron
ize" list was only Withdrawn as a con
sequence OF Judge WrEhts decision
and further that tine Buck Stove and
Range Company was formally boycOttod
through Federation officials until the
same decision had been passed. This is
erroneous. The I'VE Don't Patronize"
list has not been published by the Amer
lean Federation since last March. its
discoutinuance following close upon the
decision in the DaubuTy-Hatters case,
The Bucks Stove and Range COmpary's
name had. and has not, appeared upon
the list since the number Of January,
1903, the last publication occurring in
the edition printed about December %
1907. three days before the Injunction be-
came operative.
The purpose and intention Of Judge
Wrights decision has been largely lost
sight OF, and the supposed Onenses OF
AIessrs. Eompers, Mitchell, and Morri-
son misunderstood, as we'll as their posi-
ton with regard thereto. Judge Wright
found simply that as to GOmpeTs, ne
had violated the injunction order by
failing to stop In the mails the January
Federatiouist' placed therein before the
order became operative and IN MS com

Federati0nist and IN public speeches OF

body, as its president, of a. boycott reso-
luton with which he had no other con-
ueCtiOn. and as to Morrison by MS CIR

containing the name or the Buck. stove
and Range Company upon the we
Don't PatrOniZe" list, and SImllatl ~
sending cut copies of the proceedings or
the annual convention OF the American
Federation OF Labor containing boy
colt resolution
The speeches and editorials of Mr..
GOmDeTs were interpreted by the Juogr
as Indicative OF an intention TO boycT q
because Of uTiOr utterauce5 stating ms
determination not to abide by any OEder
which would deprive him OF his con

nal Revenue. and the Bureau of Chemis-
try. And now, as to the patent need for
labelling whisky according to the proc
ess by which it is produced, it has OBJ
tanned the appointment of an extra
committee to recast and review the in
formation upon which the Bureau of
Chemistry and the Agricultural De
partment have already acted.
The high-water mark of this oPposi-
ton appeared to be reached a few days
ago in the announcement that the
President and DR.. Wiley had so far
disagreed that the latter would submit
his resignation. This newspaper did
not believe it at the time. 1t does not
believe now that if the resignation
were to be offered Theodore Roosevelt
would accept it on any grounds adj
vauced by men seeking privileges under
the pure food and drug act. As a mat
ter of fact, there was forthcoming i'm
the least reasonable time an authorita-
tive denial of the whole story from the
highest possible source.
Whisky must be whisky. Flour must
be flour. Everything else used or sold
for food must be what its label repre-
sents it to be. Or the people of the
United States viii know the reason
why. In the meantime they look on
at the administration Of the pure food
and drug act with hope that it will be
enforced as they intended it should be
enforced when they gave their repre-
sentatives in Congress instructions to
enact it. And if any official engaged in
enforcing it Is to be run out Of office
they viii make mighty sure for them
selves whether it was because better
administration than his was offered OF
because the opponents Of the law had
prevailed against it.

HUGHES AND BALLOT REFORM
PROPOSALS.

The expected happened when Gov
erlor Hughes delivered his inaugural ad-
dress at Albany. He discussed the bal
lot question IN a manner which justified
expectation that he viii present both
ballot reform and the primary election
in his message to the Legislature, and
insist on attention to them.
Apparently the governor is going to
repeat his performance Of his first term,
when he insisted on what he wanted
and carried his fight to the people
There is no doubt Of the sentiment of
the majority of Republicans in New
York regarding the primary act. They
want it. The opposition is almost con-
fined to the politicians who foresee the
end of their lease of power.
Concerning the other half of the pro
posal-the adoption of the Massachu-
sets Australian Sallot aot-there is
more uncertainty. Many people who
are not politicians believe honestly that
the Massachusetts law makes voting so
complicated and difficult as to amount

number Of voters. Whether this argu-
ment is good or not, it hassundoubtedly
aTrayed a considerable proportion of
the people on its side.
All over the country there is evidence
of revulsion of opinion against the pri-
mary nomination system. But the re-
vulsion is among the politicians. They
didn't expect to like it when it was first
proposed; now that they have eX-
perienced it, they like it even less than
they expected. They have entered
upon q campaign of eXaggeration and
Misrepresentation in order TO prejudice
the community against such laws. The
annoyances and difficulties Of the law
are overstated. the possibility Of party
misfortune under it is exaggerated, the
danger of the opposite party controlling

GOING AFTER THE MAN WHO
RUNS THE LAYOUT.

The whole country has been seeking
to do what a sergeant and a patrolman
on the Baltimore police force did the
other day. Finding a Baltimore and
Ohio freight car blocking the street,
contrary to the peace and dignity Of the
sovereign people and to the laws made
and provided, they decided on heroic ao-
ton. Somebody is responsible for it,
reasoned the sergeant, and his subordi-
nate acuuiesced. Somebody ought to be
arrested for the breach of the law, he
further argued, and to this deduction
the patrolman promptly assented.
Had a vagrant vender Of fruit left
his cart where the law said he had no
right to leave it, it would have been
easy to know what to do. The po-
licemeu would have gone and got him
and hailed him before "a magistrate, or,
haply, to jail, with divers and sundry
reminders that city ordinances are
made to be obeyed. But here was a
freight cur, and not a huekster'5 cart,
The question arose; Who should be
arrested tor leaving it there? It is not
known by what process Of reasoning
the sergeant and the Patrolman decided
that the man they wanted was the one
who ran the road, but they did decide
that the thing to do was to get the
president, and went forthwith and
swore out a warrant for Oscar G. Muir
ray.
Why mott For months they have
heard the public demanding that JUS
tice get the man" They have grown
tired Of those mice, sharp outlets Of
the law" that advance so many argu-
ments why this and that cannot be
done and at the same time affirm that
nothing is law that Is not reason"
They are worn out by repeated demon
STATIONS that corporations chartered
by the people for business convenience
have become licensed wrongdOers, fur
nishing easy means for evading indi-
viduaI responsibility, and are ready TO
declare that ''the law is a sort Of hOcus-
Doeug science that smiles In yer face
while it picks yer pocket and the glo-
rious uncertainty Of 1t is of mair use
TO the professors than the justice Of It."
What could be more TO the point
than the action Of the policemen OF
course. Presiden Murray viii say that
be did not leave the car 30 that ID
would obstruct the street, and it viii
be agreed that it would impose a hard
ship If he had to be personally answer
able for all the things thac several
thousand brakemeu DO. On the other
hand. the corporation ought TO have
somebody whom the patroIman can get
at and not leave him In a maze of uu-
certainty at whom TO wave his stick.
So. while not fully iudorsing the
proposition Of personal accountability
Of the head of the corporation, the
citizen can see much in favor Of "a sys-
tenn that enables the policeman on the
beat to nod ia the direction Of the
corporate head and say: "The captain
wants to see YOU. Come around tomor-
row." There is a good deal ia favor Of
going after the 'main guy"
