THE PATTERSON CASE.
What DR.. Chancellor Said-Two o
the Best Teachers Reduced.

IL
1t will be remembered that Misses
Emma and Chanie Patterson are grad
uates from Oberlin College. These
two ladies have taught in the public
schools for years. Ex-Superintendent
Cook and ex-Superintendent Mont
gOmery recognized their ability as
teachers.
When Dr. Montgomery was sue
ceeded by Mr. Bruce and DR.. Chancel-
lor succeeded Mr.. Stuart, these two
weIl-knOwn teachers, whose records
stood above reprOaCh, were reduced
and transferred. The editor of The
Bee laid the cases before DR.. William
f. Chancellor, who, after investigation,
said that they should not have been
reduced and transferred. He partiCu-
larly emphasized the case of Miss
Emma Patterson, and promised to re-
instate her. Before DR.. Chancellor
could keep his promise he was re-
moved by the Board of Education.
1t was a huTpiliatiOn to these two
ladies, who had given the best por-
ton of their lives to the schools, who
had done so much for them. to be re-
duced and transferred on the recon-
mendatiOn of a supervising principal
who has been under fire twice him
self.
The entire matter, after the removal
Of DR.. Chancellor, was brought be-
fore the president of the Board of Ed
ucation, Capt. Oyster, who was also
convinced that these ladies had been
unjustly treated. These are only two
of the many irregular acts and unjust
treatment of teachers by those who
have been clothed with a little au-
thOrity.

conditions that exist in the cOlOred

This Money il collected by the police

is also the practice. we find for the
policemen to take fines from the par
ties without their appearance in court
and names are often entered upon the
books as fictitious names. We think
this procedure should NOT be followed

DOGS DISAPPEAR BEFORE
HIS MAGIC INFLUENCE
Much Revenue Flows Into City Cof-
fers as Result Of Harry Hart's Eff
forts-22 CANNES Sent to Dog
Heaven-1S Owners of Concealed
Dogs to Be Arrested Tomorrow.

Such is the record of the dog
catching business in Pendleton up to
today Another item will be added to-
morrow when IS persons whose
names have been secured by the dog
catcher, Harry Hart, will be arrested
and brought into court on a charge
of keeping a dog in the city without
paying a license. The fine for this
offense is from IS to $50 or from
three to 25 days in Jail.
The persons who are to be arrested
are those who are keeping their dogs
ir houses, cellars or barns, so that
the catcher has been unable to get
them. Other names will probably be
secured today so that by the time the
chief of police is ready to serve the
warrants, that there will be more
than 20 arrests to be made.
According to Hart he is meeting
with the same experiences here that
he has met with in every city he has
visited with the possible exception
that there are probably more dogs
here that "are to be sent to the coun-
try tomorrow" than in any other place
in which he has worked. AS a rule
the excuses which he hears are the
same ones which are dinged into his
ears by the hundreds wherever he has

PROLONGED STRIKES
PAYS LABOR AGENTS

Paris.-Curious light, if the facts as
related are true, is thrown by a story
told in the Petit Journal on the
strike leaders, who, as has been OBJ
served in the past, sometimes dog
gedly object to any accommodation
between strikers and employers, al
though both sides would like to come
to terms.
IT calls these men simply strike en-
gineers or "grieviculteurs." who make
a good living while the strike lasts.
An instance occurred only a few
days ago in a provincial town, where
strike. accompanied by riots, is in
progress The employers met the
strikers half way. and offered to ac-
cept a high government parsonage as
arbiter of the dispute. The strikers
were willing to agree, but the leaders
Of the Syndicate" who had been sent
from Paris, objected. A few days lat
er a similar case happened in another
town. where a strike is also in pro-
gress.
The situation Is explained by the
| fact that the men sent, as 1t were, to
engineer the strike, get IS francs
about $350) a day from the trade
union strike funds and so franc for
each lecture.
The strike commissioners take great
pains to give two lectures a day, SC
that as long as the strike lasts they
make 11S francs daily, or nearly as
much as they might earn in month
! as workmen. To be, therefore,
strike commissioner" is, as things 90
at the present day. one of the mos
lucrative professions in France.
