Commenting on the new regime
which began in Portland on the first
of the month the
The New Order Journal said:
In Portland. T ournal
points with satisfac-
ton to the new conditions at the city
hall. 1t is status for which this
newspaper has striven for the past six
years The Journal takes especial
pride because it is the only news
paper in Portland that made fight for
the new charter, a fight in which it
was opposed by most of the other
Portland papers.
Basically, the new system is in line
to be completely successful. 1t has
already brought a new atmosphere
about the city hall. There are no
skulkers in the new regime as there
always were somewhere in the per-
scnnel of the old system, no matter
how excellent the administration.
There is no public distrust of things
going wrong, because of the charac-
ter of men in office and because every
public act must now be in the open.
There is no surmise of graft, no sus-
picion of skulduggery, but rather a
general atmosphere of confidence that
the men are clean and alls well.
There is wide public faith in the
appointees. Without in the slightest
reflecting on some of the excellent
men in the last administration, it is
fact that the standard of official
dom is raised by the passing of such
as were unfit.
Mayor Albee was right yesterday
in saying that a city government
could scarcely begin its work more
auspiciously. Five men never had sc
splendid an opportunity. They have
the power. They have every IA
cility in their hands. They have the
confidence, backing and good will OF

happened to suit the purposes of the
administration.
We can conceive of no more dan
gerous system for destroying the ad-
ministration of justice and making it
a personal or a political proceeding.
That is why the action Of the attor-
ney general in the California cases is
indefensible. If Woodrow Wilson
does nothing more than stop this ty-
rannical practice Of the department Of
justice. as he has so promptly and de-
cisively done in the present case, his
election will have been worth whiis'

Such will certainly be true if as a re-
suit of that decision the city as whole
should be forced to pay for the paw
ing of Jackson street That would
mean that the people of the city
would be forced to pay through tax
alton a debt that should properly be
charged to Mr.. Johns and others
owning property on Jackson street. II
would be a monstrous injustice.
Stripped of all buncombe and pala-

yer that Johns suit was a simple at
tempt to evade payment of a just
debt. He secured the paving and is
now enjoying the benefits of the same.
1t is the class of pavement for which
the people of that paving district pc
titioned. In the opinion of the SUI
preme court it is good pavement
and the appellant suffered no injus-
tice. The city acted in accord with
the letter of the law and in accord
with the spirit The reversal was be-
cause of a petty error in descrip-
tion-an error that was of no real
consequence since a plat that was filed
showed clearly the property compris
ing the paving district.
| If that contract was valid in all its
essential features and especially with
reference to the question of monopoly
then the paving company is in COM
mon honesty entitled to its pay. If
the Warren company cannot make
Mr.. Johns and others pay for the
pavement an effort will doubtless be
made to force the city to pay the cost.
That is the serious part of the pro-
position. Whether such a move by
the company would succeed is a law
question and it would be futile to
guess at the outcome. The fact that
the error made was committed by an
officer of the city, the city engineer
might work to the benefit of the COM
pa ny and against the city.
Under the circumstances it will be
logical for the city to ask for re-
hearing and to show that the techni-
cal error in the description of Block
c was of no material consequence
When that showing is made it will be
astonishing if the opinion of the court
is not modified. Particularly so since
the IaCtS snow Justice MCbTlue 10 De
in error when he says the published
notice does not refer to any map oil
plat of the paving district on file. The
official notice published in this news
paper by the city referred to 1.-The plans
and specifications for the improve
ment of said portion of Jackson street
prepared by Geary Kimbrell city sur
veyor, and filed with the city record
er on the fourth day of September
1912, which plans and specifications
are hereby particularly referred to-
Surely the supreme court of Ore
gon in a formal decision concerning
case involving $4,000 will not let a
hairsplitting technicality outbalance
the real points involved. If so then
law is a peculiar thing in Oregon;
there will be a premium on craftiness
and sharp practice and it will be use
less for anyone to go before the court
with a case based merely on law and
justice.

Points
for
Mothers

Child's Summer Diet Should Be Simple.
In regard to summer meals simplicity
should govern their preparation. Avoid
all highly seasoned dishes. Prepare
cereals. plenty Of vegetables prepared
simply. fruits not too ripe or green,
with very little meat indeed, says DR..
Maude Kent in Modern Priscilla Maya
zine A bit of carefully boiled or baked
beef. mutton or fowl once a day is a
large meat allowance for a child who
is old enough for such foods. The
fresh, green vegetables are most
wholesome.
Cut down on potatoes In hot weather
and always serve them baked or mash
ed without rich gravy. Soups or broths
(all fat removedD, with rice and finely
cut or chopped vegetables, are espe-
cially nOuriShing Clam bouillon, too
that comes prepared is very good ad
dition to the child's menu. An egg
once a day, soft boiled or dropped on
toast or rice, is a satisfying meal.
All the simple dishes, like bread and
cracker buildings, soft custard. blanc
mango and the gelatin desserts, are
digestible and nourishing. Children
easily learn good food habits, and the
things they best love fortxately an
swer the summer requirements for a
diet that is cooling. palatable and sat
isfying.
Milk is, of course, the summer food
staple. but mothers need to remember
that it is hearty food in itself and
not a beverage to be used as water to
satisfy thirst and added to u full meal
For the incessant demand for "a
drink give pure cool water that is not
ice cold and give it between meals.
Teach the children that a few sips
slowly taken will Quench thirst better
than a whole glass of water hastily
swallowed. With cereals. blancmange
and bread. milk makes nourishing
meal One of the best lunches on hot
day is beaten egg in glass of cooled
cocoa. The egg lemonade and orange
ade are nourishing food drinks also.

BLEACHING linoerie Waists.

When perspiration has left yellow
mark cover the blemish with peroxide
of hydrogen and leave until dry; then
cover with ammonia and wash. Am
monia water may be used to wash
wooden waists on parts where perspi-
ration has left marks. The ammonia
will clean the material without injury
to the fabric and also destroy all odor
Often a mark in fine material may be
removed In the following manner: In
a saucer or pan place a lighted match
and cover with sulphur. When 1t be-
gins to burn, cover with a funnel to
hold in the fumes. Hold the damp
ened material over the end Of the fun
mel, and in most cases it will bleach
the spot Work by an open window
where there is a strong draft in order
to avoid inhaling any Of the fumes.

Entertain Your Club Outdoors.

Have the refreshments put up in
boxes, as for a picnic lunch. Arrange
them in three courses-sandwiches
with sailed peanuts. cake and fruit
Have the boxes numbered, two to each
number. and number each course
Give one number to a man, another to
a woman, and let them hunt partners
by matching numbers and eat the first
course together. When they get to the
cake another number is found, and
they hunt the number to match. Still
another number comes with the fruit.

Ice cream and coffee may be served

CrinoIines to Come.

Before the very tight skirt came in
we should have hailed with something
approaching dismay the news from
Paris that the fashions of 1880 are ex-
pected to supersede those of the pres
ent year. But as relief from tightly
dragged skirts, no petticoats and copi-
Gus visions OF hosiery the gowns of
1880 would be welcome change.
1t is the fashion now to deride every
thing Victorian, but perhaps leniency
will be extended to the year 1880.
which was not Victorian. There is
even rumor that crinolines will fol
low upon this revolution in dress. That
would be bad indeed, but scarcely
worse than the plague Of ugly and in
decorous dresses from which we are
now suffering.

When the King of Rome Cried.


Many mothers might take a lesson
to heart from the following incident.
narrated by one of Napoleon's biog-
raphers:
His little son, the famous king of
Rome-L'Aiglon, whom Maude Adams
portrayed as young boy few years
ago-was hardly more than a baby.
He was in charge Of a lady of high
birth, who acted as his governess. In
addition to gentle birth this woman
possessed a true love and thorough
sympathy for children. She under
stood the little king Of Rome as no.
body else did, and in return for her
affection and kindness be grew very
fond of her.
One day he began to cry, pettiShly
and rebelliously. and would not stop.
The lady ordered the windows closed.
the curtains drawn and the candles
lighted.
The child looked on in wonder.
What are you doing?" he finally
asked
al am closing the windows so that
the people Of France will not know
that their little prince cries" said the
lady.
The little prince ran to her impul-
sively. "a thousand pardons. ma
DAME" he said in the formal words in
which he had been taught. And be
forthwith stopped crying.
His governess understood that an
appeal to a child's sense of honor will
have more effect than all the scolding
or reasoning in the world. Most moth
ers, although their children are not
princes. could at least suggest to their
children that the neighbors in want OF
subjects would hear the crying. An
appeal of this sort seldom fails, espe-
cially when drawn curtains and lights
in the middle Of the day have attract
ed the child's attention and taken his
thoughts away from the cause Of his
sorrow.

What Every Mother Should Know.

What Every Mother Should Know.
Every mother should early learn the
appearance Of a healthy throat. She
can then easily recognize infiamma'

healthy conditions. She should also
accustom her child to throat examina-
ton Even a baby will soon learn
that there is nothing to dread in hav-
ing a teaspoon or other form OF tongue
depressor used AS so many of chill
dren's serious troubles start In the
throat, it is better to be oyercautious
and to summon a doctor at once. The
appearance of a rash is another danger
