= In another column We willingly
publish communication from Mr.,
Douglas Moore of Minnesota, which i'm
plies that the article which appeared a
couple of weeks ago III the TINES, headed
college WISDOM" and written by II.
w. Hol!ey, of Everett, Wash. was an
unjust and uncaled for criticism Of &
worthy institution. We shall not at
tempt TO defend Mr. Hollev's position,
knowing him to be fully capable Of do
Ing so himself, if he considers the mat
ter in question Of enough importance
to do so, but Lest Mr.. lIolley does not
take the matter up, we will state for Mr..
Moore's benefit that for the past thirty
wears at least, Mr.. IIOlley has been one
Of Minnesota 5 largest and most success
full farmers, and has made practical
study of almost every branch of farming
that can be suggested. So We feel that
while there was a slight touch of sar-
casm in his aiuslon to what the farmers
Of an early day might have attained
had they had this college advice, we
firmly believe that there was an honest
regret in Mr.. Holley's heart, as he
thought of the millions he might have
made, had he in the beginning of his
farming DAYS been furnished with the
college experience which is being scat
tered broadcast in these days Of science
versus practice Let us hear from Mr.
Ho!ley and Mr.. Moore again.

The methods adopted by the local Sal
walton Army corps for the advancement
OF their work are decidedly or lginaI and
have had considerable good effect. The
most unique of their ways is used in SELL
ing "War Crys."
On Saturday evening the ladies OF the
Army organize into bands of three and
make tour OF every saloon in the city
One OF the three carries a either or some
other musical instrument and the other
two carry the papers. On entering a sa-
loon the ladies stop at the door and the
one with the instrument sings Saliva
ton Army song, accompanying herself on
the instrument. The song generally has
the air Of SEINE popular Street ballad.
The time chosen for these visits is when
the saloons are filled with men, and no
matter how bolsterous the crowd or how
much noise the men in the saloon are
making in very few minutes everyone is
quiet aud the closest attention is paid
the singers. Frequently when the first
song Is sung the musician is applauded
aud has to respond to an encore. While
the singing is going on the papers are
sold and it is a noticeable fact that very
rarely does any of the men in the place
refuse to purchase one The courtesies
extended the ladies Of the Army is re-
markable and very rarely are THEY insult
ed as might be expected. They receive
the same treatment in so-called "high.
class saloons" as in the Others.

Calumet,

"Mr. Platt was nominated and elec.-
ed. The disagreement between the ad
ministration and Senator Conlling
which had been anticipated came about,
and Mr.. Platt had to face the difficult
question of going with his organization,
under the commands of its autocratic
and imperious leader, or of keeLlng his
pledge. The pledge was not a bond nor
letter, but the word of man who,
believe, never broke his promise, and
rather than break that promise he re.
signed from the senate and surrendered
his commission. This little incident
reveals the secret of his success in poll.
tics In the general break up which fol-
lowed the senatorial canvass every rep
resentative in the state had the same
opportunities, the same constituency,
the same future for effort and work as
the guest Of the evening, and the result
demonstrates that he has made his own
career. The best school Of politics in
the United States is the assembly of
the state of New York"

SENATORIAL FIGHT IN OREGON.

Il Now seems Probable That the state
viii Have but One senator In washing

Eight Votes short of Majority Two
More of Cover nor ringreo's Appoint
Inents Hung Up by the Michigan senate
Salem. Or, Feb. 6.-There are now
only thirty-eight members VINO are
willing to elect a United States senator
by means of a joint assembly. Repre-
sentative Huntington of Wasco has
given notice that he will Withdraw
from further participation. This Is the
first detection and 1t is expected to be
followed by others. II seems probable
that Oregon will have but one United
States senator for the next two years.
1t is said that the Mitchell men in the
legislature have determined to prevent
the election of a senator il their man
cannot be chosen.
From the beginning of the session the
Mitchell men have been i'm their seats
in the house prepared to organize put
the opposition, composed of Populists,
Democrats and anti-Mitchell Republic
ans. twenty-nine in ALL have refused
10 enter the HOuSc anu tilNNt PN''@
nent organization. The Mitchell men a
week ago Monday attempted to organ
lie the house with simply majority
present and elected Benson speaker, but
il is now generally conceded that II the
Legislature of the state is taken as
guide no fewer than two-thirds OF the
members of the legislature are compe-
tent to organize and do business
Mitchell Nominated i'm Caucus.
Senator Mitchell has already received
the nomination for senator by caucus
composed of forty-six members, or
majority OF the legislature. 1t viii,
therefore, be decided by the Mitchell
men to force a vote for United states
senator on the second Tuesday after
organization.
The Benson house voted Tuesday, but
a resolution providing for a ballot in
the senate failed of passage, several of
the senators declaring that while they
favored Mitchell for senator they did
not believe the Benson house was le-
gally organized and therefore declined
to recognize the legality of that house.
The joint assembly meets from day
to day in the hope that the necessary
forty-six votes can be secured, but at
present Mitchell is eight short Of ma
jority. 1t now seems probable that the
entire session Will be wasted and that
no legislation will be enacted, two
thirds Of the session having already ex-
pired
