Even Kiyoura, unpopular as he was,
might have succeeded in getting eabi.
net together, but for one very startling
thing, which did not leak out until
after his failure had compelled him to
tell the emperor he could not retain
the post Of premier.
1t will be remembered that when the
Yamamoto cabinet tried to ge the heces-
sary legislation for a heavy increase In
taxation as preliminary to greatly
strengthening the navy, violent riots
broke out, may believed the throne was
in danger ard parliament, though pro-
Yamamoto, in both houses, was so
badly frightened that it rejected his
program, forcing him out Of office.
In spite Of this the elder statesmen
evolved the scheme Of having Kiyoura
get together cabinet which would
deliberately help itself to the money
it and then, after it had been spent,
ask parliament to endorse its expendi.
ture and increase taxes to supply the
deficiency.
AS soon as this highly uneonstitu.
tional proceeding was suggested to pro.
spective appointees TO cabinet posts
they, one and all declined the proffered
portfolios.

WILSON IS
RAPED BY MAHH

Washington, April s.--President
Wilson was criticized by Representa-
tive Mann Of Illinois, the republican
floor leader, during a free.for-all dis.
cussion in the house this afternoon. He
denounced the president for character
izing Representative Knowlands' re-
ference to "dealv in the tolls matter
as the browning insult"
"If the president said that de-
clared Mann, then he forgot his posi-
tion. II is not the position Of tho
chief executive to comment on debate
in the house.
Mann also read President Wilson 3
letter to James J. 0'Byrne, in which
he declared the election in New Jersey
would show the Judgment Of the people
regarding the administration.
O'Byrne, however, was defeated, in
his candidacy to succeed the late Rep
resentative Bremner.
"And did he give thanks,' asked
Mann, "that there have been demo-
Gratis who have placed allegiance to
their country ahead of personal bowing
to the boss-the bowing to tho win Of
n man without reasonf"
Mann said he did not know what ex-
cuse O'Byrne had made, but declared
he was still loyal to the president, and
had said "to Hades with the Demo-
cratic platform and the country"

FRIENDS OF WILSON
QUOTE OLD LETTER
In 1t He Said While Governor

Washington, April S.--Seeretary OF
the Navy Daniels was at pains today
to tell visitors that the order against
intoxicants on American warships or in
naval shore stations was not to be
taken as committing the administra.
tion to prohibition stand. 1t was
simply to promote efficiency, he said
and to some extent in the interest OF
fairness, since if the enlisted men are
not allowed to drink, it did not seem
right that the officers should be al.
lowed to do 90.
Friends of President Wilson quoted

a tremendous hit with the enlisted men.

that the officers were allowed to use
them, while to the rank and file they
were strictly barred.

mating lands to the state for the pur-
pose of conducting fish hatchery, and
providing that, in case it was not 50
used, it should revert to the general
government, that the state could lease

Iowa river, to private parties so long
as the state continued 10 use the lands
for fish hatchery purposes.
Mrs. j, A. Murray of Rogue river,
was told that district school board
could, by contract, bind its successors
for the employment Of teachers.
State Game Warden Evans was in.
formed that birds and wild animals de.
stroying property may be killed, the
state law providing for this. There is
a federal statute protecting migratory
birds, that does not mention this ex-
ception, but the general holds
that it would be permitted by the state
law, which in this case would protect
those killing birds or animals under
such circumstances
o. A. Lommen, Of Mohler was told
that a Democrat registering as such

can for any office, would simply vote

Elder Statesmen
are Blamed for
Misleading Ruler

Toxic, April S.--If the emperor would
seek some advisors other than the elder
statesmen, up-to-dste politicians were
saying here today, there might be more
hope of his escape from the difficulties
in which the naval graft scandal AMI
the Yamamoto administration attempt
to add to the couptry's already crush.
ing burden Of taxatiton have involved
him.
1t was generally agreed that, how.
ever good it may be for tho country,
the failure of viscount Kiyoura, whom
the emperor had chosen to succeed re-
firing Premier Yamamoto, to get cab
met together was an extremely black
eye for the emperor. Really, of course,
the elder statesmen and not tho EN-.
peror selected Kiyoura, but the elder
statesmen are entirely an unofficial
group and the emperor must take the
responsibility.
I In the past few years there has been
general complaint that the elder states
men were out Of tcnch with the times,
and the late emperor grew TO depend
very little on them. His son turned to
them at once, however, and it is the
widely expressed opinion that their nd,
vice is largely responsible for the pres
ent political situation.

That the Salem school board intends

supplanted after one of the bitterest
of the many bitter political fights that

do their work properly. Since then

that Powers is coming back to rule tho
