PARALYTIC STROKE FATAL
August Bittner Dies at Dallas Hospital
After Short Illness.

August Bittner, an aged German
resident of North Dallas, died at the
Dallas Hospital, Friday morning. Sep
tember Q, from the effects of paralysis.
County Judge Coad called at the old
mans home a few days before his
death and found him in a critical con-
dition and without money. Orders
were at once given to have him re-
moved to the hospital for better care
and attention. The effort to save his
life was of no avail.
Mr. Bittner was born in Germany
in 1886. He had been a resident of the
United States for many years, coming
to Dallas twelve years ago. He is
survived by his aged wife. ~,
The funeral service was conducted
by the Rev. Leon Myers, Saturday
morning, and the body was given
burial in the Odd Fellows cemetery.

NO HOPE OF GOVERNOR
ANTI-AssEMBLY FORCES READY
TO CoNCEDE DEFEAT.
Neither Hofer Nor Dimick Are Longer
Considered Factors in Primary
Race.

. \ " +
Hopes of the anti-assembly Repub-
licans of electing a Governor are in a
dismal state. The fact is admitted
even by anti-assembly leaders. The
raging question in the anti-fold has
become What are we going to do
about it?'
That Acting Governor Bowerman
now has the Republican nominatiq& il
his vest pocket is conceded in the anti
camp. For the activity of anti-assem-
bly, candidates for Governor, by a
strange paradox, are admittedly
strengthening Mr.. Bowerman's chances.
Colonel e. Hofer is touring the state
by auto picking up votes, while Judge
Dimick and Albert Abraham are doing
the same thing. Neither is developing
strength enough, however. to be con-
sidered a factor in the primary race,
and, since the regular Republicans will
stand together almost to a man, the
vote of the three anti-assembly cam
didates serves merely to split up the
work of their faction and establish Mr..
Bowerman's chances on the firm rock
of certainty

new log carriage of considerably
greater dimentions and weight than
the one heretofore used. The car
riage is equipped with all of the mod

Labor Day Not Observed.

Farther than the closing of the

was not observed in Dallas yesterday.
The stores were open as usual and the
mills were operated on full time. At
this busy season of the year, the peo-
pie in the country towns of Oregon
observe Labor Day by laboring and
then take their holiday afterward.

Bourne Men PerpIexed.

Hence, the question what are we
going to do about it?" is proving un-
usually perplexing, particularly to the
followers of Jonathan Bourne. Bourne
needs one of his own clan in the Gov
ernor's chair in order to garner
strength therefrom two years hence,
when he must fight for his own Of
fetal neck.
Some slender hopes are yet based on
Dimick. To be prepared for the fu-
ture the Bourne element is casting
about in many directions.
Should Oswald West gain the Dem
ocratic nomination, the shedding would
be smooth. But there isn't any GER
tainty that West will get the Demo-
cratic nomination. In fact, followers of
Jefferson Myers are now declaring that
a canvass of the state gives their man
a clear lead. Mr.. Myers is very busy
touring the state in his own behalf.
So, with Mr. Myers as the Demo-
cratic nominee and Mr.. Bowerman as
the Republican choice, the Bourne ele-
ment, which dominates to large de-
gree the anti-assembly faction, would
be in dilemma indeed. The only re-
course will be an Independent Repub-
lican candidate.

Ben Selling in Mind.

Ben Selling is held in mind by many
of the anti-followers. They tried hard
to get him into the fight before the
primaries, but he wanted a clear field
and all efforts to give him a clear field
met with failure.
whats the matter with w. S.
U'Ren?" several of the clan are ask
ing. 1.-The people have been taking his
measures, why wouldn't they take
him?" The U'Ren suggestion hasn't
yet aroused unstinted enthusiasm. Yet
it is possible, if conditions shape them
selves against the anti-assemblyites at
the primaries, that U'Ren will BE- call
ed into the race as an independent,
1t is admitted by anti-assembly men
that the nomination of Mr.. Bowerman,
en- the one hand, and of Mr.. Myers or
the other, will throw them into sad
dilemma.-Oregonian

THE WHOLE CITY.

1t is the boast OF city having the
commission form of government,
that its legislative-executive depart
ment represents the whole city, while
general council merely represents
wards. Paducahans believe they have
a general council. which represents
the city, and we shall soon put that
faith TO the test when the matter OF
issuing special assessment bonds for
streets. sewers and sidewalks comes
M for action. We trust that coun-
cilmen and aldermen will not try to
issue bonds for working over or
graveling streets in their wards; but
that the bonds will be employed only
for paving streets with brick or btu
lithic or other material and con-
structing sewers, and that the work
will be done first where most needed
and most desired. To issue bonds for
graveling streets and cause people to
pay for ten years with interest on
work that will have to be done over
before 1t Is paid for IL poor economy.
This warning is not made. because we
believe II Is needed; but II Is not
amiss, and maybe II will save the
from the opportunities OF
their constituents, which is very en-
barassing to one. who Is trying TO
represent the whole city, instead OF
his ward.

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
I. .sss.....sssss

The present is almost universally
CARDS poetry. The great Victorians
have passed and have left no sue
cessors of equal fame ana possible
chances for Immortality. The
twentieth century promises TO be an
era OF fact and practical achieve
ments so brilliant as to be, tempor-
arily at least. satisfying.
IL is, nevertheless. gratifying to
note that even In what we have
grown accustomed to admit is n
prosaic age, or at least the age Of
prose, poetry is not neglected among
the influences that shape the educa-
tion of youth. In the schools OF New
York, and perhaps in those of most
cities and towns, the memorizing of
standard selections from the poets is
part OF the educative formula.
How far time and taste have
changed may readily be seen by a
comparison of the school readers OF
today with those in use a quarter or
hair a century ago. This change In
made more striking by noting. for
instance, the titles OF the forty
poems prescribed by the board OF
education of a western city TO be
memorized by the pupils in their
passage through the various grades.
Among the poems in the list the in-
clusion OF a number not to be found
IN the older readers will be most
noticeable to the mlddle-aged or
aged reader Of today. Such are
"wynken. Blynken and Nod" MY
Shadow" Songs OF Trcetop and
Meadow" "The Flag Goes BY" "oc-
tober's Bright Blue Weather" "Flow
er in the Crannied Wall" "Ths Re
cessional." 20 Captain. My Captain"
and "The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lie" other selections. such as Bed
in summer" The Counterpart" aud
September" are stlll less familiar
to those whose school days are now
far behind them.
Perhaps even more striking than
the inclusion OF newer poems is the
omission OF old favorites 10 be found
In almost every American reader a
generation ago. such as "Thanatop-
sis" Miss Mltford's "Rienzi." Gray's

PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

The Livingston Echo denounced
the action of county authorities In
placing in jail a 12-year-old girl. ac-
eused of trying to poison her foster
mother, who had chastised her. 1t
quotes the Kentucky statutes on the
subject.
without confining our remarks to
the particular case, as we are not
well enough acquainted with it to
bear witness. we agree that the Echo
is right. To anyone, who has visited
a Jail and studied the characters con-
fined there, the idea OF placing among
them a child of impressionable age is
abhorrent.
The law says:
THAT no child under fourteen
years Of age shall, under any circum-
stances. be incareerated IN any county
jail or police station. and any officer
or person knowingly violating this
provision OF this act shall be guilty OF
misdemeanor and. on conviction,
fined in a sum not to exceed one hun.
