SECRET OF MISSING
JAPANESE STILL
BALKS SEARCHERS
(From Wednesdays Advertiser.J

(From Wednesday, Advertiser)
In search of the missing clerk Ka-
wada who disappeared mysteriously on
Tantalus about ten days ago, eight
members of the Trail and Mountain
Club, who are thoroughly familiar with
all the trails and gulches, secured the
mountain yesterday, covered all the sur
rounding territory and returned last
evening with nothing more to report
than the previous parties have had.
Fred Ziegler, Robert French, George
Dwight and F. b. Freitas, accompanied
by four other members and one Japa-
nese from the Hawaii Shinpo, left the
city yesterday morning about eleven
clock.
After they had arrived at the point
where the missing man was last seen
they divided up, one party took to Ma
kiki, another to Pauoa, two men
went around the old Tantalus road,
several went to the top and one or
two went over the Pauoa fats. They
followed all of the forty or more trails
on the mountain and investigated
guava patches, gulches and caves in all
directions. Some returned by Makiki,
others by Nuuanu and others by Manoa,
and no member of the party had dis
covered the slightest trace of the lost
japanese nor any clue to his fate.
While all hope of recovering the man
alive has been abandoned it is prob.
able that a big party will go out again
Sunday, the Trail and Mountain boys
cooperating with the Hawaii Shinpo
staff in the search for the body.

GOVERNOR FREAR
SENDS FOR LAWS
ON BOND ISSUES

Acting Governor Mott Smith
is in receipt of the first news
from Governor Frear since the
Governor s departure. Mr.. Frear
arrived safely on the mainland
and will. leave San Francisco for
New York today. In his cable
gram Governor Frear stated that
he was very well, had had
pleasant trip and wanted a GER
tilted copy of Act 80, of the date
of 1911, forwarded to him. This
is one of the acts relating to
bonds which the Governor evi-
IDENTIFY forgot to take with him
on his trip. AS an incident to
his trip east the Governor in
tends to place these acts, passed
in the Territory, in the hands OF
the President and the secretary
of the interior, simply taking
time by the fore lock so that If
the Territory should undertake
a bond issue this necessary pre-
liminary would be disposed of.

Baker for Closer Union.

Consul Baker of Formosa is a strong
advocate of closer commercial relations
between Australia and the United
States. He has given considerable
study to the best methods to be used,
and has written many pamphlets on
the subject.
Mr.. Baker, "gives preference to Can
ada, so that Canadian products have n
big advantage over those of the United
States. For instance, canned salmon,
a very important article of trade, is
now obtained entirely in British Co.
lumbia instead of from our own North
Pacific States A reciprocity treaty is
now being negotiated between Canada
and Australia, which, If it is consum-
mated will be a serious blow to our
own trade with Australia, as Canada
is already very serious competitor
with the United States in many import
ant products, such as agricultural ma
chinery, boots and shoes, nails, hard
ware, etc. -
In his opinion, however, American
manufacturers will lose ont IL they do
not pay closer attention to their posi-
bilities. He believes trade reciprocity
with New Zealand is necessary, and
that II would be a pity if any reduc
tions were made in the wool schedule
without securing from the Australia
sian countries some concessions in theil
own tariff which might benefit growers
of fruits on the mainland.

MANY SCHOOL
CHANGES LIKELY
JOB OF REVISING SCHEDULES
PROVES BIGGER THAN
EXPECTED.
(From wednesday s Advertiser.)

Finding the job of revising the
school schedules bigger one than they
anticipated apparently, the various
committees of the board of supervising
principals of the public schools, which
were delegated to report yesterday at
two o'clock on the proposed course of
study, asked for further time, and the
consideration of the matter was post.
poned until tomorrow at two O'Clock,
when the supervising principals will
meet again in the senate chamber, in
the capitol.
The five committees all held sessions,
and according to the best obtainable
information, their reports are likely to
make some radical changes in the
courses of study, and in the text books.
The work done by the committees so
far indicates sweeping changes in the
courses of study. However, there are
sharp differences of opinion among the
members of the board of supervising
principals, and the prospect is that
there will be jumble of reports upon
which the general body will be unable
to take action without further refer
ence to committee.

Politics Talked OF.

There is a good deal of talk to the
effect that discussion is in a way polit-
zeal rather than academic. However
this may be, the various committees
got together Monday and yesterday and
tried to work up plans of courses of
study. But none of them were ready
to make any definite report at the meet
ing yesterday, and by unanimous con-
sent the matter was deferred to meet
ing to be held tomorrow

Would Change Books.

Reports from the meetings of the
committees indicate that, while the
general meeting turned down the prop
osition of n new course of study, the
separate committees are finding in fa-
vor of new courses, and may therefore
recommend changes in the text books
and courses of study, much in line with
the new course of study plan.
Judge Stanley, one of the commits
sioners of education, was an interested
attendant at yesterdays meeting. 1t
appears, as far as the discussions have
gone, that the supervising principals
are likely to disagree on some impor-
tant points, and it will be up to the
board of commissioners to make the
final ruling.

THE STATE PRINTER BILL.
Salem, Ore, Aug. "a, 1871

Salem, Ore, Aug. "a, 1912.
Editor East Oregonian:
] am today in receipt Of copy of
your recent comment on the bill
drafted by the socialist faction of the
Salem printers union, to fasten upon
Oregon a state-supported but union
controlled printing departmen. They
call it flat salary law"

fairly in past campaigns, when | was
flghting political grafters: so / ex-
pect 1t to treat me fairly now when

ers, and ! assure you and your read
ers that the state of oregon faces a
worse menace now. 50 far as its print
ing is concerned, than in the balmiest

in connection with the scheme is that

sible knowledge of their purposes
from the public, and expecting the
public to swallow the "jokers' in their
law because they give it a mislead-
ing title. Putting the printer on a
HAT salary Is but one-twentieth of
the purposes of the act; the dishonest
purposes Of the law are found in the
sections Of matter which they sup
press
You are right in saying that the
salary Of $4,000 provided for the state
printer is ample and ought not to be
obnoxious" For the few duties left
by the law for the state printer to
perform. the sum Of $4,000 per year is
altogether too great; it is about
forty times more than his services to
the state would be worth, under the
proposed law.
If such an act is to go into effect,
the office of state printer should be
abolished. as all the powers Of the
state printer and the legislature of
Oregon over the printing department
are to be centered in the hands of a
new official, called the secretary Of
the state printing board. This new
officer, with salary Of $4,000 a year

the republican

more He directly charges that Roos-
evelt's subsequent attacks on the
standard Oil company were due to
the fact the second contribution was
not made and that Treasurer Bliss vir-
tlally told him as much. Whether
iArchbold is right or not as to the
motives OF Roosevelt in attacking
standard Oil the whole thing is sordid
business. The fact that Standard Oil
contributed s125.OOO is enough. 1t is
sufficient to show the connection be-
tween the desires of big business and
the trend Of governmental action dur
ing the past few administrations 1t
helps show why tariff schedules have
been adjusted as they have and why
the antitrust law has not been en-
forced. 1t helps show why the cost
OF living has steadily mounted higher
and higher.
Why should the American people
allow concerns like Standard Oil and
the steel trust to finance the election
Of a president? They know those
people never give money without ex-
pecting some return. 1t is like wa
ter used to prime a pump. 1t always
comes back to the giver.

this campaign will be deeply SUSPECT
Gus Of any candidate having the back
ing of large corporate interests. No
president can serve the interests and
also serve the people.
The candidate who has the clearest
record along this line is Governor
Wilson. In his preconvention cam
paign Wilson spent less money than
any of his opponents. He declined to
take money from Thomas F. Ryan and
thereby lost the friendship Of Henry
Watterson. The Wilson managers
are getting no money from doubtful
sources. They are seeking funds di-
rect from the people in the form Of
small contributions 1t is a commend
able policy and one that will cause
people who have their thinking caps
on to have increased respect for Gov
ornor Wilson and confidence in his
candidacy.

The idea that there is anything
