PUSH CHAMP CLARK.
HIS FRIENDS ARE BOOMING HIM FOR THE PREsl-
 DENcY.
A STRAW BALLOT FAVORED HIM
A Close Second to Harmon--Lead Wis son, Folk and Foss--Bell, of Calr fornia. States that Bryan Will Not Be Candidate Again.

Washington, Jan. 20 - Champ Ciarks friends are seriously and sys tematically booming aim for the dem ocratic plum in 1912 Mark you. thii ie not theory but a fact that con fronts us. Let us examine it's foun dation.
 On the road to Baltimore the spe cial trains were sprinkled with straw ballots. Each of them was printed un der the suggestion of some great news paper and each contained the names oi Harmon, Wilson. Folk. Foss. etc. Not one of them contained the name oi Clark. Notwithstanding when the bat lots were counted Champ Clark's name had been written into sufficient mum Der of them to make him easily out rank Wilson, Folk and Foss and run close second to Judson Harmon.
 At Baltimore the big Missourian hat the honors over the entire democratic field as a presidential possibility Hi' ovation discounted Bailey's and shad owed even Harmons applause He had the afternoon matinee and the banquet in a swing.
 Bell Makes Statement.
 Bell of California who presided ovei the Denver convention by Bryan's choice, declared significantly that Bry an would never again be a candidate but would always be power in demo cratic national affairs Clark is the only man whom Bryan has declared he would promptly and heartily sup. port in 1912. He Is an announced an tagonist to both Harmon and Wilson Bailey, in his speech, declared that if Champ Clark made better speaker than Harmon made governor, he would surely be president. Clark is a progressive and makes strong appeal by his record to the independent vote.
 Also Champ Clark is the next speak CT of the house of representatives and will have the limelight full upon him up to the last quarter of the national | campaign of 1912.
 There is no coming conflict between | i3dltSJ anu 1ldih Oh litt tdiln. ny republicans are counting without foun. dation on that.

Bailey and Clarl are bosom friends When Bailey hal been chosen by the caucus to preside over the St. Louis convention in 1909 he learned that Clark had been ai aspirant and immediately declined thu place and insisted that it be given [, his friend And that is how Charal Clark came to preside over the S Louis affair.

vate support for maintenance. w. G..
McLaren is the general superintend-
ent. During its existence the Louise
Home has done vast amount of good
according to those familiar with its
work and it is strongly endorsed by
the municipal authorities of Portland
and others.
1t is now planned to enlarge the
home by providing branch establish
ment on Eagle creek where industri-
al work may be carried on with view
to making the institution self sup

FOUND
IN HIGH SCHOOL

What there is in the high school
building that any sane Individual
would covet to the extent of break
ing into the building at night is still
a mystery, but the fact remains that
its four walls does or did hold some
thing to induce such a deed, and but
for the timely arrival of four young
high school students, the maurauder
might have finished his task unmo-
lested. As it was he made very for
tunace escape by a daring leap after
being cornered by these students.
1t was about IL o'clock last night
when Brook Dickson, Dale Chessman,
Richard Thompson and Tom Hill, re-
turning from the Boylen home, where
they had spent the evening, noticed
flickering light through one Of the
windows in the high school building.
At first they thought it was fire but
as it moved from room to room, fl
nally judged it to be someone walking
with a lighted match or candle.
Suspecting the person was there
with no good intent, the boys began
an investigation which revealed an
open window in the rear. Stationins
themselves near, they resolved to
pounce upon the prowler when he
emerged through this aperture. He
soon was heard coming down the
stairs and in another minute his form
was detected crawling through the
open window The boys prepared for
a spring and a struggle, but their
quarry evidently discovered their
presence when about half out of the
window, for he began slowly to draw
himself in again. The boys chal-
lenged him but there was no answer.
Thereupon they lighted matches In
an endeavor to get a glimpse Of his
face, but he hastily withdrew from
view.
The young trackers had now thor
oughly warmed to the game, and Sc
curing a candle from nearby house,
they resolved upon entering the build
ing and ferreting out the inmate
Stealthily they went IN, and holding
the candle aloft, marched in a com7
pact body from room, finding evi-
dences here and there of the marau-
derer's trail but that individual him-
self was elusive. Finally in the COM
mercial room, they found another
open window, and although it was
twenty feet from the ground, the deep
imprints of his feet in the soft earth
left no doubt that, in desperation, he
had made the leap and thus escaped

of the adventure this morning, was al

YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS
ARE FEEBLE MINDED

DR.. Max Schlapp, chairman of the
paychiatry section of the American
Academy of Medicine and examining
physician of the children's court and
Gerry SocietE. declares that fully half
of the youthful cripinals dealt with
by the latter organizations in New
York are feeble minded. The same
percentabe, he believes, will be found
TO hold true throughout the country
The moral is, says DR.. Schlapp, that
medical attention rather than punish
ment is what a majority of young Of
tenders need. This matter will be
brought up before the child welfare
exhibition and conference opened to-
day in New York, and as result II
is expected that a law will be passed
in this state providing that feeble
minded children shall have the atten-
ton and treatment of paid specialists
1t is pointed out that, as "the child is
the father of the man." much adult
criminality may be prevented by this
means
