RETURNS FROM ANTARCTIC

Had DR.. Jean NJ. Charcot succeeded in reach
ing the south pole his feat would have been far
greater than that of Commander Peary, discov-
erer of the top of the earth for it is said there
are many difficulties to overcome in the antarctic
regions that are not found in the arctic
DR.. Charcot is a wealthy French scientist and
a recognized explorer and France felt that the
honor of discovering The bottom of the world"
had every chance of coming to her with a man so
well equipped as Charcot making the attempt.
But brief word has been flashed from Punta Are

BOTH JAILS ARE
 STORMED BY MOB

Montgomery, October 7.-(2:15 A. MIA mob Is now trying to break into the city prison to get a negro who was caught in the room of depraved white woman early tonight. It is reported over the city that the negro assaulted the woman. and this has served to inflame the minds of the lower classes of society, who are incensed over the murder of Patrolman Berry.
 To avoid the lynching at the city prison the police loaded the negro into the patrol wagon and started for an unknown desti- nation at mad pace. The mob imme- diately went in pursuit, but on foot. The police will not tell where they have sent the negro.
 This negro is a hackman. and being sent from a notorious house for wom- an, went to the home of respectable peo- pie and made known his errand This set the neighborhood agog. and the mob was the result.
 The rush on the jail for the negro Adams has nothing to do with this af- fair.
 All the street lights in the city have been turned out. and the soldiers of three companies are gathering at their armory, which Is in the city hall, next to the police station.

FATE OF COLONIES IS NOW DISCUSSED
England and Germany May Grab Portuguese Territory
A SECRET AGREEMENT
Denial Has Been Made of the So-CaIIed Secret Convention But It Is Claimed to Be Fact

Berlin, October 6.-The fate of the Por- tuguese colonies is a matter of serious comment among diplomats here, owing to the fact that when Portugal was in great political difficulties in 1897 and 1898 the German and British governments dis cussed the eventuality of Portugal being unable to keep secure hold on her col, onies
 It was the plan of Cecil Rhodes that the Portuguese colonies should be divid- ed between Great Britain and Germany Rhodes talked on the subject with Elm peror William and shortly afterward the text of a so-called secret convention was published. This provided that Great Britain should take over the East Afri- can and Germany the West African col onies of Portugal in the event that cir cumstances should arise rendering Por- tugal unable to longer securely govern them.
 At the time both London and Berlir issued official denials of the existence oi such q treaty. but those well informed know that such an arrangement was con. sidered and they believe that the matter may be opened if disorders in Portugal are prolonged.

ROOSEVELT AGAIN
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, October 6.-For the first time since he left the White House, a year and seven days, ex-President Roose- welt came to Washington tonight. He stopped here for half an hour on his journey into the south, but his stay was so brief that he had little opportunity of renewing old acquaintances. Colonel Roosevelt did not leave his car
 Colonel Roosevelt said he did not ex- pect to make as many rear platform speeches on his southern trip as he did on his recent western trip and that such speeches as he did make would be short He has not recovered fully from the at tack of throat trouble which came on him during the New York state repub- lican convention and will be obliged to use his voice sparingy.
 Colonel Roosevelt's trip from New York 10 Washington was quiet one. On leav- ing Washington at 10:10 D. m., he started south for Bristol, Tenn, where he is to make his first speech of the southern trip tomorrow morning.

 Browne said he had heard no report that he had tried to get money for legis- lation and declared that he had tried to help White get reinstated in his previous job as street car conductor.
 Another witness of the afternoon was Thomas Curran, a republican legislator, who testified in rebuttal of the testi- mony given by White. Curran said White approached him at Springfield and asked him to hold out the women's 10-hour bill which was in the committee of which Curran was chairman.
 White told me to hold out the bill be- cause there might be something in 1t for us," said the witness. Later White asked me If there was anything doing in the Lorimer election. I told him did not know. and that he as a democrat ought to know if there was anything doing. Why do you ask?' I inquired of him, and he replied. I think Browne has double crossed us.'
 On cross-examination Curran said he thought if there was any money used White, as a democrat, would know 1t.
 The hearing will continue tomorrow. Brown again on the stand.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
 BETTER CHANGE

Washington, October 6.-(Special. )-Dem- ocratic chances of carrying New York have been greatly improved by the &C., tion of the Independence league con- yention In refusing to carry out the plans of its leaders to indorse Stimson. the republican nominee for governor, and put ting up a straight independent ticket
 This action is hailed with delight by the democrats, and Is a disappointment to the republican leaders. They had been assured that Stimson would be indorsed and that Hearst would be named for lieu tenant governor. With a straight ticket in the field, 1t is likely that Hopper and Hearst will draw from both parties about equally, and thus the chances of Dix car- rying the state will be helped.
 If the republicans lose New York, as they are now in danger of doing, the defeat of the state ticket will carry with 1t in all likelihood a number of seats in the House. Estimates on the number thus put in jeopardy vary. a half dozen being conservative figure, says the democratic committee.
 In the event that Hearst, upon his re- turn, reverses the action of the conven- tion and indorses Stimson, 1t will make little difference, as a large part of the Independence league will then care lt- tie who is elected

Precedent for Action

Washington, October 6.-When the time comes to recognize the new Portuguese republic, expressly or impliedly, or tc
 refuse to recognize it, there are ample precedents to govern Americas course. Il could accord recognition by written oi
 oral declaration, by entering into negotfa- tlons, by dispatch or reception of diplo- matic agents, by exchanging of consuls or by formation of conventional rela- tions. So far, however, the provisional government at Lisbon has sent no com munications.
 Premature recognition has to be guard ed against, for it constitutes interven-
 tion. Under a clearly recognized inter
 national principle, the new government
 must be bound by engagements entered into by the old government. The Washington government has sew
 eral treaties with Portugal relating to
 arbitration, eXtradition and nationaliza-
 ton.
 The fleeing young Manuel was the re-
 cipient of a warm message of sympathy
 from the United States when his father
 was assasslnated In February, 1908. Con-
 gress passed resolutions of coincidence and President Roosevelt wrote to Man.
 uel that "The American people feel a peculiar bond of sympathy with the royal
 family of-s.Portugal in their great af- f1iction."
 The state department received but a
 single dispatch today on the Portuguese situation, that cablegram being a belated
 message from Minister Gage, whose ad-
 vices had been fully covered by press
 dispatches. The dispatch was dated at 9 a. m. yesterday. It said:
 Fighting has been going on all night
 in the city and in front of the legation
 Many royalist soldiers have surrendered Some of the forts and most of the pub lie buildings are flying the flag of the republic. It has been reported to me that the King of Portugal Is aboard the Bra zilian warship Gao Paulo, and also thai a proclamation has been issued declar- ing the Inauguration of the republic" Part, at least, of the minister's ad- vices appear to be based on newspaper reports and the rest already has been told in press dispatches. The dispatch was delayed.
 No message has been received here from Provisional President Braga an- nouncing the proclamation of the new government. It~is not at all an invariabe vitally interested.
 The United States government will pro- ceed slowly in recognizing the new gov
 ernment. The proclamation of a repub-
 lie in the place of the old monarchistic
 government is one thing and the actual
 establishment of a regular government, fitted for recognition In the comity of na- tions with all the guarantees and other things that figure fin the essentials of a new power Is quite another matter

RADIANCE.

The Dellneator: What can a young
girl-who is neither a great beauty
nor a great heiress nor one TO whom
the gods stood sponsor at birth-do TO
make herself popular? Let US sit
down and take our chins in our hands
and think about IT,
I should suggest that a young girl
must have, at least in some small de-
gree, four qualities: Beauty, grace
intelligence, radiance. Beauty may be
that Of face or figure or It may be
merely an effect Of beauty through
style, charm. or even one OF the other
three qualities following.
Grace includes not alone symmetry
OF movement, but accomplishments ir
activity. such as dancing, skating
swimming riding and also any espe-
cial gifts. such as a talent for music
or acting In other words the gir
who has the gift of grace" is the CIR
who does things well.
BY intelligence is meant the SYM
pathetic. adaptable quality Of mind
rather than that OF the brilliant or
/ der. But the one great attribute tha
crowns them all-granting Of course
some gift Of the other three-bu
without which beauty, grace. clever
ness are all as apples Of Sodom-t
the sense Of enjoyment the gift o
| happiness; I don't think 1 can bette
| define it than by the word radiance
And, best of all radiance is quail
J ity that can be cultivated.

No doubt this is absolutely true ard
the situation is not surprising. Ore
son has been trying to RAISE the
standard of its public schools. SO
those who teach are required to un-
dergo a rigid examination and it is
absolutely right that they should. II
there IS any profession whore those
who follow it should be selected with
care it is the profession OF teaching.
The trouble in Oregon is that while
tie educators have been ,rying TO
raise the standards a legislative clique
led by Jay Bowerman took the abb
surd and injurious course OF closing
the normal schools. So oregon +, now
in the position of wanting well train
ed teachers but has no way OF train
ing them. As a result we have school
districts that must make use OF poor
ly trained teachers and IN Umatilla
county we have a dozen teaching po-
sitions open and no teachers to fiji
them.
What is TO be done about ito Shall
we elect Bowerman governor so that
lie may continue the fight on the nor
mails and thereby make the situation
worse?
