Al, Ara Heroes.

Heroes are they who respond TO
the nations need"
Our nation has never asked for men
in vain. With Spartan bravery moth
ers give their sons, wives their hus-
bands and maidens their sweethearts
when the country calls. Many Of them
will never return. Others will come
back to lay their diseased and broken
frames beside the hearths Of their
youth. Some as by divine protection
seem to have enchanted lives and re-
turn as strong as when they left. They
all are heroes II they have felt the
thrill Of sacrifice and never hesitated
In the face Of duty.

Presidential Aspirant Has Clear
Majority Over Opponents.
McARTHUR HOLDS Big LEAD AT START
OIcott Leads Moores for Secretary Of
State -Cummins Second, Bur.
ton Third-FeW for I. R.

Nearly every county Of Oregon from
Multnomah county to the remotest cor
ners Of the state has given Charles
Evans Hughes substantial majority
over all other candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for the Presi-
dency.
Returns from Oregon's statewide
primary election Friday show conclu-
sively that Justice Hughes is decidedly
the choice of Oregon Republicans for
the Chicago nomination next month.
He has q large majority over all other
candidates put together. Senator AL
bert B. Cummins, of Iowa, is running
second, and ex-senator Burton, of
Ohio, third.
Colonel Roosevelt has received only
light vote. His name was written
in on the ballot by supporters in near
ly every county represented in the
early returns.
Ben w. Ofcott maintained strong
lead over Charles B. Moores for the
Republican nomination for sectertary
of state. Mr.. Olcott is the incum-
bent.
For delegate-at-large to the National
convention there are seven leading
candidates, as follows: Cameron,
1924; Boyd, $3.50; Carey, 3488; Full
ton, 1926; Hawkins, 2913; Spencer,
2912; Ackerson, 2108; Case,
1879; Peterson, 1875; Buland, 1873;
Warren, 1440; Morsley, 1862. The
situation is therefore left in doubt ex-
cept apparently as to Cameron and
Fulton.
In the Second district, with two to
elect, the vote seems to favor Brooke,
with 493.
In the First district the incomplete
vote on delegates is as follows: Bis
hop 1907; Calkins 1142; Abraham
1888; Sleeves 594.
w. G. Hawley and N. ]. Sinnott,
Representatives in congress from the
First and Second districts, respective
ly, have been nominated to succeed
themselves without opposition. It is
probable that they have received the
Democratic and Progressive nomina-
tions as we'll. In the Third district,
comprised of Multnomah county, a
three -cornered fight was waged for
congressional honors.
Complete returns from a few pre-
cincts and incomplete returns from
virtually all the 315 precincts in Multi
nomah county at $3.50 o'clock Saturday
morning indicate that the Republicans
Of the have renominated c. N. Nc
Arthur for representative in congress.
A. w. Lafferty is running second;
E. v. Littlefied is far to the rear.
At that hour the returns gave Mr..
Macarthur a lead of BIT votes over
Lafferty, who in turn was 703 ahead
Of Littlefeld.
McArthur's lead has been steadily
increasing since the first returns were
received.
George H. Burnett and Frank A.
Moore have been nominated to succeed
themselves on the Supreme bench, as
has John D. Micke for food and dairy
commissioner. They had no opposi-
tion.

plund of the department of education
returned today from the meeting or
the Colfax County Teachers associa-
tion which was in session at Ration
on. Friday and saturday About 100
teachers registered at the meeting,
very few of the county and city teach e
ers being absent.
The principal addresses of the
meeting were by President r. l.. En-
loe Of the New Mexico Normal school
ut silver City: Rupert +. Asplund,
editor of the New Mexico Journal OF
Education, and Prof. Rupert L. Stew
art. Of the state Agricultural college.
Mr.. stewards lecture was an illus
trated one and aroused much interest.
President Enloe delivered a scholarly
and instructive address on the chang
ing tendencies In education and the
necessity for preparation to meet the
demands now made upon the schools.
The leading topic of interest dur
ing the meeting was Teachers In
slrance and Retirement Funs." This
was the subject Of Mr.. Asplund's adj
dress. He discussed the matter OF
teachers salaries being inadequate to
nav the expenditures entailed by the
preparation and work and at the same
time to save any amount sufficient
for retiring in comfort and dignity.
Hence the need Of a pension system.
It Is necessary also to provide retire
ment allowances for the sake OF ef-
ficicncv in the teaching force. The
speaker then reviewed the methods
in use in other states advocating a
Joint contribution system of pensions,
part to be provided by the state and
part by the teachers. as perhaps the
method that would appeal to legis-
