Superintendent Powell, in his report,
printed in Mondays Star, referred to the
school in these words:
'Twining City suburb has no school
house. The citizens have had to suffer
hardship by sending their children into the
city over the Pennsylvania avenue bridge,
or to Anacostia, the nearest school to them
being a long distance for little children to
walk. We are the current year renting a
second-story room for the accommodation
of small children, in which there are forty
three pupils in attendance, but the room is
not fit for school use. A two-room building
would undoubtedly serve for several years.

are kept in his store. This, he admitted,

OBJECTION TO MKENNA.

The objection to Judge McKenna
does not rest upon his religion or his
character or his relations sto corpora
tions or anything to his moral dis
credit or social disadvantage, says the
New York Times. He is very worthy
person but very ordinary lawyer, and
the supreme bench is the place for
great lawyers.
This is well understood on the
Pacific coast, and the bar of the whole
country understands it better since
March 4, Californiaus are clannish
and sense of local loyalty keeps them
silent. The bench and bar of Oregon,
which are of sound quality, more in
touch with the rest of the country and
less hampered by provincial senti-
ment, have spoken ont under strong
sense of duty and responsibility.
This ought to be needed. A cabinet
appointment lis for four years only; a
supreme court appointment is for life.
The president chose Judge McKenna
for one place and now chooses him for
the other because he likes the man.
Doubtless the man is likeable, but the
lawyer is not admirable, Men respon-
sible for filing high public place
should not indulge their personal lik.
inOS to excess.

CAN THE Y GET TOGETHER

A prominent populist of the county,
who refuses to follow the lead of Young
and U'Ren writes the Times Mountain
eer protesting against the action of
the executive committee of that party
recently in Portland, and asks
how it will be possible for the conser-
valve populists, democrats and silver
republicans to get together on COM
mon lines and work for one cause in
the next state election? This paper
sees no possibility of such result if
the populists of Oregon are to allow
themselves led around by Young and
U'Ren, for they are opposed to any
union of forces except on lines that
mean q complete surrender of every
thing to those two men. But if the
conservative element of the popuiist
party, which comprises very large
majority, are willing to break away
from these self styled leaders and ex-
ercise the least bit of independence
a union of the reform forces is by no
means impossible. Young and U'ren,
judging from their past acts, have but
a single object in politics-to put Mr..
Young and Mr.. U'ren to the front and
to make what there is lin it. If the
popnlists who hold principle above
personal interest,". will assert their
rights and offer any reasonable con-
cessiohs to the other reform forces, it
will be accepted by the democrats and
silver republicans, but they must be
some say in the compromise.
Whenever sach men as Young and
U'ren are dethroned, and the really
honest men in the rank and file of the
party are allowed a say, there will be
no difficulty about union.

Christianity exists. and whether the
day set apart as the anniversary OF the
birth of Christ is correct or not Is of
little consequence, the event will ever
be commemorated and will be a season
when offerings of love and friendship
will be given. Regardless of the ac
curacy of dates, Christmas day has al
ways been and probably will ever BE-
observed as the anniversary of the day
on which the greatest gift to humanity
was bestowed by the Supreme Ruler. It
marks date when "Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men" was proclaimed.
and since it marks the beginning of
our present civilization, it is q day
which not only professed Christians
but all who enjoy the the benefits OF
civilization reverence as one on which
good cheer shall prevail, for it is q re-
mam brance of Him whose life knew no
evil, and who surrendered everything
for the good of humanity. The i'm
press of his character will ever be pre-
dominant, and all who enjoy the bless
ings of the present civilization cannot
but reverence the birth of the lowly
Nazarene. and glory in the example of
self sacrifice and love set by Him.
Christmas day is one OF festivity and
Thanksgiving, when all nations and
tongues may join in relieving the dis
tressed, and in doing to others as they
would have others do to them From
the frozen shores of the North to
the sunny climes of the South,
from the occidenG to the orient. from
the oppressed to the oppressor, from
the nobleman to the serf, from the
monarchist to the freeman. may the
glad tidings rise that Christ is born
and that His birth is celebrated in
this nineteenth century. No matter
how grand or how humble may the
home be, this event will he commem-
Grated ard high and low alike will vie
in exemplifyirg the character of the
Creator in giving unto others gift
tina: will ever be remembered as
token of their love. Christmas is the
day of all days throughout the world:
in fact is the only recognized general
holiday. for it marks the beginning of
a new life, of new world, and a new
existence in the human race.
