GEO, THOMPSON
MAY REGAIN
HIS old JOB

Paroled from the penitentiary but
four days ago, Geo. Thompson again
has the penitentiary staring him in
the face, as he was arrested last
night by Day officers Burkhart and
Simpson, and for the same offense
for which he was paroled, that Of
forgery.
Thompson's conduct has been good
at the state prison and as he had but
two months more of his sentence to
serve, the parole board recommended
his parole which was granted him
last Saturday. His first act was to
violate the parole by indulging in in
toxicating liquors and his next move
was to pass forged check on Frank
Collins last evening. The check was
for the sum of $3.50 and he forged
to it the name Of Father Moore.
Collins after accepting the check
about Z o'clock-became suspicious
and called in the police and with
such dispatch did the officers appre-
hend their man that by 10 O'Clock he
was looking through the bars of the
city jail
He waived his preliminary hearing
this morning. AS the evidence is
strong against him, it looks as
though he is domed for another term
in the state prison.

THE OREGON

PANY CLAIMS THE INITIATIVE
AND REFERENDUM ARE UN.
CONSTITUTIONAL.
[uNIrEp pREss LEAsEp w1Rr. !


Portland, Or, Aug. 9.-The battle
for the initiative and referendum, the
foundation stone of the Oregon sys-
TEN, will be fought before the United
States supreme court about Novem-
ber l, according to a letter Just re-
ceived here from Senator Bourne.
The Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph company have attacked
the initiative and referendum as un-
constitutional, alleging it to be in
conflict with the federal guarantee of
a representative form of government.
The courts decision will prove of
vital Importance to the people of Or
egon and other states in which pop
ular government laws have been
adopted. 1t will also have a pro-
found bearing on the future devel-
opment of legislation of the same
character through the nation.
An adverse decision would create
an almost hopeless tangle in Oregon
legislation because numerous laws
have been adopted through the ini-
tiative and referendum since it be-
came law.

was located, and had it divided into
lots and was selling it to the public.
DR.. Smiths first competitor was Gen
eral Reed, who built the building
where is now located the w. C. T. U.
headquarters and started a drug store
While DR.. Smith still continued to
do the bulk of the business, he was
adverse to rivals-the field being too
small, and he bought the stock and
moved it to his store on the river
bank.
Moves store.
AS the Years went by the town be-
gan to grow away from the river,
and, in order to get the business. the
dctor decided to move his building to
a lot adjoining that formerly occu-
pied by General Reed. In moving the
building he broke a number of ropes
and chains, and when he reached a
spot near where the South CONNER
cial street bridge now STANDS he was
compelled to give up the moving
proposition, and purchased a lot
where his building was standing, and
went INTO business there.
Another Rival Bobs Up.
Because of the immense business
transacted by the doctor, a man by
the name of Hawthorne decided to en-
ter the business, and he built a drug
store just opposite that owned by the
doctor. The doctor pursued his old
method, and in few months owned
tho ctnrn 0nI ho6 n HTfnnnnnn1Ny on ! Ip
drug business again.
Dies While Telling Story.
pr. Wilson, after disposing of his
drug store to DR.. Smith, continued
to make his headquarters at the
store. He was a unique character
his face always wore smile, and on
the tip of his tongue there was al
ways a good story. One day he was
telling one to the doctor and another
physician, whose name the doctor has
forgotten. He had just concluded it,
and had Joined the other two physi-
clans in the merriest kind of laugh,
when all of a sudden the smile on his
face gave way to an expression of
pain and he leaned over on the side
of the chair. 1t was the Doctors last
story, for, despite all that the attend
ing physicians could do for him in
the way of medical attention, in less
than a half hour he was dead.
Also Owned WoOIen Mill.
DR.. Smith, while here, also owned
a controlling interest in the woolen
mill. His brother was the president,
and he the secretary, treasurer and
a director. The business proved ex-
ceedingly profitable during the war.
Surprised at Growth.
Eyes, am surprised and aston
ished at the growth of Salem said
the doctor. "Since my visit here
three years ago the town has made
marvellous progress. have been try
ing to locate few of the old land
marks, but most of them are gone
and feel lost in the town"
The doctor left Salem to locate in
Portland in 1869, and has resided
there ever since.
He is now So years old.

muted to Imprisonment at the solicit
tations of thousands, including many
Americans, was removed from the
Jail hospital, where she has been

cell, did not remind her of it.
The infant will be allowed to re-

Kingston, when it will be given over
to the care of the Childrens Aid So
ciety No date for Mrs. Napolitano's

WOULD MAKE TEDDY
LEADER in PEACE
That is What Champ Clark
Plan

Springfield, Mass, February 10.-"If
| could pick out the thing to which
Colonel Roosevelt should devote him
self, | would make him perpetual
president of The Hague tribunal, said
Congressman Champ Clark, of Missou-
Il, in a speech here yesterday at the
tenth anniversary celebration of the
Y. N. C. A.
What noble close to an astounl-
ing career it would be for him to de-
vo;e his time to establishing the peace
of the world?
When The Hague peace tribunal
was first established most people
snee,ed at it, but they have ceased
to eneer From the smallest begin
ming, it has grown into a great power
fcr good 1t has already prevented
several wars. In the days to come
it will probably prevent many, many
more"
Mr.. Clark's topic was The United
States in the Twentieth Century, and
| e devoted his time to telling why
he relieved the world to be growing
b tte".
T. the world We're not growing bet.
ter, he said, then the American schoO
system was an ignominious failure
and al religion was failure and he
did not believe either to be true.
Why so many good people believe
the world is growing worse was eX
planned by Mr.. Clark as a matter d
evolution of communication; that nov.
adays any place on earth is in reacs
of telephone or telegraph and a MAJ
may do a thousand good things an(
never get his name in the newspape
but every time he does a bad thint
Gin it goes"
Dwelling upon the vastly lessenet
prevalence of war, Mr.. Clark said tina
the flying machine will put an end :,
all wars.
The masses OF the people are waking
up to the fact that politics should %
purified, demanding primary elections
senatorial elections by popular vote
and other important reforms.
