ALDERMAN'S PAMPHLET
PROVES POPULAR

The pamphlet written some time ago
by State Superintendent l., r. Alder
nan on the home credit system in the
public schools is growing in popular
ity every week as is evidences by the
numerous commendatory letters re-
ceived at the office and demands for
copies Of the pamphlet
Fifteen thousand Of the pamphlets
have been ordered by the educational
commissioner at Washington, d, Co.
for general distribution, and today a
letter was received from the state SUI
Derintendent Of Nebraska in which he
said that he has placed a copy Of the
pamphlet into the hands Of every
school teacher in the state, The PAM
phlet has also been copied in a recent
edition of the Nebraska Teacher, the
leading educational journal Of that
state. The distribution Of Mr.. Alder
mans pamphlet has been one of a
series of progressive steps made by
the Nebraska educator toward improv-
ing the educational system Of his
state.
Superintendent Alderman has made
no effort to place the paper into the
hands of all of the teachers Of oregon,
depending rather on his institute ad-
dresses to gain the same results that
are expected from a distribution of
the pamphlet

HIS FELLOW PRISONERS
GAVE UP THEIR MONEY

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 29,-That
there is still honor among thieves was
illustrated today when fellow prison
ers of Antonio Garcia, sentenced to
four years in San Quentin for grand
larceny paid, his fare back to Mexico.
Judge Mccormick sentenced Garcia
some time ago but stipulated that if
the Mexican could raise enough mon
ey to go to his native country, never to
return, sentence would be suspended.
The Mexican's fellow prisoners imme-
diately got busy and raised the funds.
The last three dollars necessary for
a ticket was given by Pedro Lopez
awaiting transportation to San Quen-
tin for murder.

PHEASANTS AND BEAVERS
BECOMING A NUISANCE

A grist of complaints has come to
the office of the Encouragement as
a result Of the depredations on Will
lamette valley farms by Chinese
.pbeasants and beavers, and while the
Encouragement cannot advise the
farmers to kill the game, on account
Of present prohlbitory laws, he says
that he believes they ought to have
remuneration and thinks the remun-
Grafton should come out Of the state
game protective fund, The fund, it is
said, never falls short of 100000.
The Mongollan pheasants have been
making a nuisance Of themselves by
picking corn and other cereals from
the ground, while the beavers have
been guilty of damming up the streams
and overflowing the land,

Mistake
in Title
of Ballot

The printers were at fault-some-
thing very unusual--ln the printing Of
the ballot title of the initiative meas
ure providing for the majority rule
bill in the certification Of the official
ballot to the county clerks, the error
making the title read as an amend
ment to article VI Of the state constl-
tuition, instead Of to article ~. The
error made It necessary to wire a cor
recton to all county clerks in the
state last night
Judge Kavanagh, of Portland, was
the first to notice the error. The
Portland Judge called the attention OF
County Clerk Fields, of Multnomah
county, to the mistake, who, in turn,
notified Secretary olcott, 1t is said
that in several counties the ballots
have already been printed,
In the initiative and referendum
pamphlets the bill is stated correctly,
and also in the copy sent to the print
er, but the proofreader in the secre-
tary of states office failed to detect
the error. Attorney-General Crawford
was unable to state on the spur Of the
moment just what legal entanglements
might have resulted II the title had re-
mained unchanged.
The message wired by Secretary Oh
colt to the county clerks was as fol-
lows;
"a transposition occurred in the
printing of the official certiflcation Of
October 8 of the secretary Of state to
the county clerks, Change first line
of the ballot title Of measure num-
bered 322 and 1923 to- read: For the
amending Of section 1, article W.
instead Of for the amendment Of Sec
tion I, article VI In case your bal
lots are already printed suggest the
figure 4 be written in black ink over
the numeral VI Attorney-general
states correction mandatory"

unwise. The Florida press is constant

land companies are located outside

SEN. STEPHENSONS SEAT
QUESTIONED
Members of the committee making
inquiry into the election of Senator
Stephenson of Wisconsin have filed
hihoiiy iSPoit qucoeiouiu6 Mo
right to his seat on the ground that
the sum spent was so large as to be
in violation of the fundamental prin-
ciples underlying our system of
government. As in the case of Sem
ator Lorimer. the majority report ex-
onerates Mr.. Stephenson. The mat
ter will now likely go before the Sem
ate and continue to be discussed and
Investigated for year or so as has
been and is the Lorimer case.
United States Senatorships are
pretty costly when they have to be
bought at prices paid by Lorimer and
Stephenson, and when still larger
sums are paid by the Government to
investigate their titles.
