DRIFT.
BY DONOVAN [

We have been told that town of
five thousand inhabitants will contain
on an average but five hundred people
interested in literature, and who at
tempt to keep abreastof the times, and
their minds in state OF cultivation by
good reading. We were astonished
when told this, but investigation
proves the truth of the statement.
The fact is all the more surprising con-
sidering the times in which we live
and the progress that is supposed to
have been made in the last two de-
cades toward culture. But. we hear
some one say, there is difference in
the town, it may be college town or
maybe simply railroad town." still
4 railroad town into which few well
educated. cultured people do not enter
and exert a beneficial influence both
mentally and morally. One sav;tnt
could educate town providing the
town was willing to be educated. So
one thinks of asking, are we really
progressing toward higher state of
things, rIther are not the agitated
waves which have overturned Euro
Dean governments beating against the
foundation of our own? Does not the
onward, maddened rush for material
splendor threaten disaster? The masses
are absorbed in the accumulation of
wealth and spare no means toward that
end. Money has. become a god, and
manki I'd is prostrattd d before it's shrine.
The youth has rot time for college
education, does not see the value of
culture, for in the one case he may
lose chance of wealth and in the
other his eyes are dazzed by the fruit
it promises Is tia wonder then that
upholders of higher civilization trem-
bic for the result, that every effort is
made to elevate the common mind,
train the brain for accurate thinking,
ald broaden the lines of narrow preju-
dice. '1

made any man better citizen; patriot
ism is not in his line. His whole life
has been devoted to stirring up dis
content and bitter hatred. His
weapon is pitchfork, and with it he
stirs up the debris which breeds
political malaria. He is course and
vehement demagogue. whose work in
Oregon will hurt the cause of tho men
who imported him.
Since the Chronicle has seen fit to
jump upon Mr.. Tillman and sing a
song about his ''pitchfork, it is per
haps well to give a brief account of
who he is and what his public service
has been.
Benjamin Ryan Tillman was born
in South Carolina, on August IL, lS47.
He is farmer, and took no part in
politics until 1886, when he began a
fight against the boss rule of the demo-
cratic ring in South Carolina and an
agitation for Industrial and technical
education. So popular did he become
among the masses that in 1890 he was
nominated for governor of South
Carolina, and was elected by major
ity of Al, ,33l over Haskell, on whom
the republicans and one wing of the
democratic party centered theiI
strength. In 1892 he was reelected
governor by an overwhelming majority.
The campaign of 1894 in South Caro-
lima was made on the issue of Tillman
for U. S. senator, and he was success
full, being elected to the senate by the
legislature of 1895 His record in
thesenate is matter of present his
tory and is familiar TO all. He entered
public life as an advocate of more
liberal education, has been a rustler
for the cause of education ever since,
and through his efforts two colleges
or industrial schools have been estab-
lished in his state.

Conflicting Reports About the Effect of
Mitcheips Dufur Speech.
There seems to be some question as
to whether Senator Mitchell did or did
not help the cause of Mckinley at
Dufur. Two communications have
been received from there touching
npon the question. both bearing date
of Oct. II. The first is from member
of the Mckinley club, and is as follows:
"EDIToR TINES -MoUNTAINEER: In
your issue of the 10Th, note the follow
ing: 1t is reported on the streets

Mckinley club at Dufur caused their

after Senator Mitchell's speech
SIN this connection permit me to
say the report is without foundation.
The Mckinley club membership roll
is in my care, and to my knowledge no ]
has asked to have his name
taken from it. On the contrary, we
lid add to our list six names as re-
'plt of senator Mitchell's speech.

Added to the mutterings and 1nur-
murings of hard times heard through
out the country is moan caused by
the lack of access to good literature
and the dearth of knowledge that ine-
vitably results. America today is
turning out more literature worthy
the name than ever before and inabil-
ity to keep step with the mental devel-
opment ofthis country must necessarily
cause distress. Financial stringency
forbids even discriminate purchase of
books and the thinking mind is conse-
quently revolving the problem How
to gain access to good books with little
expenditure?"
