SEEKING HOMES FOR
PARENTLESS BOYS

The Boys and Girls aid society of
Portland is "overstocked" with boys
.Aetween the ages of seven and four
teen years and a family that wishes
to take such a lad to raise may find
one with ease. a boy may be adopted
or not at the option of the people CIV
ing him a home.
This information is from ]. G. Kill
pack, travelling representative of the
aid society who is in Pendleton today
upon business connected with the in
stitution. According to Mr.. Kilpack
there are now - children in the aid
society's home. They are of varying
ages but the officials find they are
more than supplied at this particular
time with boys between the ages
mentioned above. This Mr Kilpack
attributes to the fact thai many people
prefer to secure children Of very ten
der years rather than to take boys
after they are partly grown.
. Mr. Kilpack was one of the speak
ers at the recent Child Welfare con-
sress in Portland. He is also fresh
from a trip to his old home in Eng
land and while there roade a study
OF the social conditions with especial
reference to such institutions as he

and good economist. Under the pro-
posed commission form of govern
ment he should be able. not only to
plan, but to work daily, If necessary.
Under our present system, all we
need is mayor who can plan. I
mention this here, because the mayor
now elected would be likely to sue
ceed himself as our first commission
mayor.
Issues just now are Of great import
ance. The liquor question, the prob
lem of better water, and the city's
attitude toward our local public SER
vice concerns all need to be handled
with view single to the ultimate
well being of our city.
The liquor question is now largely
local matter. The Home Rule am
endment has given incorporated cities
power to become wet" or dry by a
vote of their own people alone.
But it does not follow that we can
ignore the will Of every one residing
without our boundaries. Most of the
men who gave us the first local op-
ton law, and who voted this county
dry, are yet living here. They have
as much power now to re-enact those
laws as they had to pass them or
iginally. and would, in my opinion
dc so with less provocation.

OPPOSES PLAN OF
NATL BANK CONTROL

Washington, d. c., Nov. 7.-Secre-
tary MacVeagh of the United States
treasury, announced today that he
was unaltbrably opposed to the prop
osition of having the national banks
control the stock of other banks,
through a holding company. He de-
clared that permitting such a system
invited the concentration of the coun-
try's banking power in the hands of
a few.
He stated further that the currency
reform plan, as advocated by Chair
man Aldrich Of the National None
tary commission. must be modified
before he will approve it and then
he'll urge congress to adopt it,
Secretary MacVeagh said he believ-
ed the sentiment favorng a national
reserve association is growing and
that any faction in congress which
stands in the way of currency legisla-
ton this winter will suffer.

home at Echo this morning after

Pendleton, Ore, Nov. Z, 1911.
Editor East Oregonian:
The straw ballot which you pro-
pose is good idea. The people
should choose their officials in the
fullest sense after first knowing what
each candidate stands for, There
should never be selected, eats in a
bag"
The candidates should, therefore,
each state his position clearly, well
in advance of the election.
AS to myself, my time is paid for
by Umatilla county, for my services
as county assessor, and l have no
moral right to give any portion of my
working hours to the city of Pendle-
ton, and would not do so if selected
as mayor.
Believing that I could render this
community greater services by con-
filming myself to economic questions
than by devoting my time to moral
questions, have not heretofore al
lowed myself to be drawn into any
contests outside of my chosen work.
l do not intend to do so now. but
somebody, who is in touch with city
affairs ought to give the public a
brief analysis of the present situation,
and the liquor question Is a part OF
that situation.
AS | view the matter, the mayor
should, in any event, be progressive
