WHIPPING SCHOOL CHILDREN.-ln his
address before the state teachers associa-
tion at Salem, Prof Walker, of this city.
made the following emphatic remarks on
school government; "Coporal punishment
should never enter the schoo, room. Pay
Ing taxes does not license n mans children
to deprive another mans children from re-
ceiving instruction. A teachers duty Is to
teach; not to whip. Whipping seldom
does any good. One whipping begets an
other whipping. Children come 20 us to
be taught. 1t Is our duty to preserve order.
not tn provoke disorder. When the ora
tor fails to command his listeners atten
ton, docs he get down and fog them? Let
us be teachers; not thrashing machines.
The child may need punishment; but Il Is
no more the teachers place 10 whip II,
than II Is the teachers duty to whip every
careless mother and lazy husband"

portions of the East. The object of the So
ciety is the determination of town COWS,
which are allowed to roam the streets at
will during the day to feed on peoples
trees and gardens, and which promenade
the sidewalks at night. Cow owners should
take warning"
INVEST AT HoME.-Wonder II the edi-
tor of the Walla Walla Statesman. who has
considerable property at the Bay, was re-
terring to himself when he wrote the fol-
lowing "When a man has made every
cent Of his fortune at home and then gets
swindled In an attempt to invest his money

that man can Just sit down and console
himself with the reflection that !, serves
