In the name of the children let us
put stop to the prating of the cranks,
male and female, who are so DEVOTED
to facts" that each year they seek to
rob childhood of Santa Clause, Kris
Kringle and the sleighbells and rein
deer of Christmas. They haYe broken
,ose again as usual and insist that
Christmas myths be done away with
and that ali nonsense about hanging
up stockings shall be discourag ed.
They want to expose perfectly harm
less preJense, pretense which has
brought JOY and delight to millions of
little people during hundreds of years.
The attempt should not be tolerated.
Let the cranks be mobbed if necessary
in order to keep them away from
Christmas gatherings, where they
propose to undeceive the youngsters.
There is no pleasanter myth in the
eyes of the children, than that of Santa
Claus with his reindeer fitting from
place to place, filling their stockings,
loading sChristmas trees and giving
presents, and it would be crusl indeed
to disabuse their minds. Let old
Santa live, for he is the friend of the
little ones.

In some places in Spain, among them
Vergara, where Golli, the anarchist,
was garroted. an old custom prevails of
arresting the executioner immediate
ly after the execution and charging him
with murder before the court of justice.
"Yes, killed a man." answers the exc
cutioner, "but did it in the name Of
the law, for the benefit of society, and
in obedience to the commands of your
honor" Then the court discharges
him, saying that justice had been done.

AGAINST THE BOOK TRUST.
Method of Selecting School Text Books to
he Changed.

4
After settling the much .mooted
Textbook question and making num-
Der of other notifications in the draft
of the proposed general school law,
the joint legislative committee charged
with the revision of Oregon's school
laws concluded it's labors at Portland
Saturday and adjourned.
Senator Daily, of Benton county,
chairman of the committee, after a
struggle, carried his point relative to
the proposed change in the law govern
ing the selection of text books. The
method advocated by him and finally
agreed upon is to leave the matter of
selecting text books in the hands OF a
commission of FIVE, to be appointed by
the governor. This board is to be
composed of business or professional
men of recognized ability and in
tegrity, who are not to be Unidentified
with book houses in any way. The
present system of textbook selection
being unsatisfactory, it is believed
better results can be obtained by con-
centrating the responsibility.
For the purpose of preventing col
lusion or the pooling of issues, it is
proposed to give the textbook COM
the right to select any
good books regardless of what may be
Offer ed by the publishing houses.
Another feature of the new law
agreed upon by the committee was
that of placing the government of all
the state normal schools in the hands
of single board of regents of II men,
bers, of which board the governor.
secretary of state and superintendent
Of public instruction shall be members

Mrs. Reese, the lady who was killed in
the runaway accident on the Rice hill
yesterday. After enquiring into the &C.
cideut, Mr.. Butts determined that au
inquest was unnecessary, the death
having been purely accidental.
AS near as could be learned Mr..
Gardner and Mrs. Reese were coming
down the bill which was covered with
ice, and having a considerable load on
their wagon, the horses could not hold
it, and when near the foot of the
grade they became unmanageable,
running off the grade. Mrs. Reese
was thrown against a rock and her
brains were dashed out, while several
bones of her body were broken. Mr..
Gardner was rendered insensible by
the fall, out recovered consciousness
in few moments, though Is unable to
give distinct account of the accident.
Mrs. Reese was a widow about 40
years OF age, and leaves three children.
She had lived near Liberty school
house number of years, and had
small farm there.

Arthur Stubling arrived last night
direct from Manila, and is the second
one Of The Dslles boys 70 get home
from the Philippines. When war was
declared, Arthur was q studen6 at the
state university, but he recognized
the needs of his country for youngs
active men, and for time laid aside
his studies at the collegd and enlisted
as private In Co. G, Second Oregon.
He was made seargsnt and was soon
assigned to the commissary depart
ment, where he served with credit to
himself and honor to the state.
When peace was declared, Arthur
felt that his services were no longer
required, and requested that he be
discharged. This request the Sec
retary Of war granted, and the young
soldier left the scenes of war for the
quieter duties Of home life. That he is
given hearty welcome home is put
ting it rather mild. for he was given
such reception as prince would be
proud of.
Arthur brought with'him number of
Spanish relics, including short saber
used by the insurgents, Spanish coat
of arms, the roster of Co. G. printed
on silk. and number of cartridges for
the rifles used by the Spanish troops.
He will spend the holidays with his
parents and sister here, and will then
his studies at Eugene.

Women OF Paris Are very B..uttfr,

Women OF Paris Are Very Beautiful.
I like the way the French take their
amusemerts. At the theater, ,theylaugh
and applaud the.wit of the hero and, hiss
the villain. They shout their approval
OF a duel and weep aloud over the
death of the aged mother. When they
drive in the Boise they smile and have
an air Of enjoyment quite at variance
with the bored expression of English
and Americans who have enough money
to own carriages. We drove in Hyde
Park in London the day before we
came to Paris, and nearly wept with
sympathy for the unspoken grief in
the faces of the unfortunate rich who
were at such pains to enjoy themselves.
I never saw such handsome men as I
saw in London. never saw such beau
tiful women as saw in Paris. French
men are insignificant as q rule, and
English women are beefy and dress
like rag-bags.-Lilian Bell

School Election.

The school election occurs today.
Very little interest is being taken in the
matter outside of the women candidates.
Mesdames Mary L, McGindley and Ida
Thompson are candidates for election.
Both ladies are highly Intelligent and
fitted IN every way to serve the best
interests of our city on the board of
education. Mrs. McGindley is lawyer
by profession having been admitted to
the bar in this state Mrs. Thompson
is highly educated and is thoroughly
practical woman. Either lady, if elected,
will be great improvement over some
of the present members, and will not be
found combining for personal gain. We
trust these women will be elected.

Great interest is being taken
in the trial before the State
Railroad Commissioners be-
tween the two range railroads
and the independent mine
owners. It is a matter that
every citizen of St. Louis
county is interested in and it IS
to be hoped the independent
mine owners will win. The
extortionate freight rates
charged by. these two com
panies prevents the independ-
ent mine owner from competing
on an equal basis, and the
roads control all the mines on
both ranges as completely as if
they were absolute owners OF
them. 1t is one more case OF

weak under the fosterage OF

The plutocratic papers have
had a great deal to say about
the republican victory in
Oregon, and many have been
the jibes made at the porulists
and the silver element. gener-
ally. Now, let us see, was the
Oregon victory such a victory
after all. In Oregon, there is
no Australian ballot system,
and no registration of voters.
Any man who is willing to pre-
tend that he has been a resi-
dent of the state for sixty days
may vote, and if the impression
gets out that he will vote the
right way he is not challenged
and required to take an oath as
to the time of his residence.
The place where an election is
held under these conditions
where the bars are all down
and there are no restrictions
is the paradise of the political
boss and the side that has the
most money. Under these
conditions, it is just as easy
to make Oregon give the side
that has the money pull at an
election $4,000 majority, as
5000. It is hardly possible
that the laboring classes got a
fair shake at the recent Ore
gon election. The push is all
powerful and the purchasable
element is in the swim in
Oregon.

day on the popular topic of national

"We shall have good reason to be
ashamed Of our country II, having
possessed itself OF the Philippines, it
holds them as its own property. In
regard to that there can be no ifs or
butts.
II don't wonder that the Filippinos
DO not want to be governed by US.
I'd rather be Malay subject to Spain
than an American Indian subject to

the only way to keep him from de-
vouring the people he is paid to take
