It Was This Way.

Monday a lady came in to our
office and wanted an exchange, and
while looking for it ye editor found
a letter from Lower Siletz which he
had never seen. That reminded us
that Mr.. Zeigler had brought in an
item and wished it added to the
Siletz items, which the editor had
never seen and he wondered. It's
all plain now and we beg pardon
for the non-appearance of the news.
From the lertter we take the fol-
lowing: The people of Johnson "a
new postoffice near the mouth oi
Siletz, } expect to have a 4th OF July
celebration at the mouth OF the
Siletz and cordially invite Toledo
friends TO be present. If those de-
string to attend will notify Mr.. G
S. Parmele he will have boats fol
their conveyance IN waiting at the
Lower Farm.

People who go up the beach road
and cross Siletz at the mouth should

Such conduct is illegal here as else

trouble. A settler lost days time
walking about in the rain last Tues
day from this cause.

OF INTEREST TO
EVERYBODY.
Teachers Institute.

The program of Friday evening
brought to close the most success
tul teachers institute ever held in
our county. The attendance was
good and the subjects given the
teachers for discussion were well
treated.
The lecture of Prof. P. L. Camp
bell, OF Monmouth College, on the
subject, "Horace Mann, Educator
and Statesman" was very instruct
i've and we'll received.
Prof H Sneak, of Philomaih
college, addressed the teachers of
the county on the subject of "Pen-
rnanship," and held the attention
of his audience very closely. This
address will do our teachers and
schools much good.
State Superintendent Alderman
came from Portland Friday and
addressed the teachers in the even
ing. His was practical talk on
the subject of ofeducatton and was adj
dressed to what he termed two
classes of teachers; the home teach
ers and the school teachers. He
talked earnestly for more we'll chos-
en- books in the schools. He also
made all excellent point concerning
the sending away of high school
graduates to the cities to finish a
course which should be finished
at home under the watchcare of
loving parents, who would then
know where their boys and girls
spent their evenings. He believes
a child from I3 to IS years of age
has no business going to school in
Portland, where they learn more
evil at night than good by day.
Good orchestra and vocal music
was in attendance and the institute
was success in every sense of the
word. The following teachers were
present: A. B. Owen, Norton; Miss
Ivy Hooker, Axtell; Miss Winnie
Davis, Newport; Miss Media Hobart
Toledo; Miss M. L. Hampton,
Chitwood; Miss Grace Boles, Yaq-
uina City; Mrs.E. J.Norton, Yaqu-

suffice 10 hasten positive enactment The
lack of a definite organization and a stable
code of laws has already precipitated a
crisis. which has fortunately been met by
the exercise of the same executive author
ity which has now interviewed to prevent a
superfiuous election.
Hawaii came to us a republic. with a
representative form of government. She
will continue henceforth under American
dominion to enjoy that form of govern
ment, in even greater degree than before.
1t is right, therefore, that the anomalous
process of purely executive administration
from Washington should cease at the earli-
est possible moment. The President has
probably acted with wisdom in moving
thus to emphasize upon Congress the ne
cessity of immediate action at the begin
ming of the session in the enactment of this
organic law which will insure to the people
of the islands the full participation in their
domestic government which annexation
guaranteed.

Should All BE Plain Americans.

rom the New YORK Tribune.
For purposes of citizenship man should
be an American, pure and simple. 1t ought
not to make the slightest difference where
his birthplace was or what his former al
legiance was. In taking the oath of all
fegiance to the United States he abjures
that former allegiance, and he ought to do
50 in fact as we'll as in form. He has a
right to vote as he pleaSeS as an American
citizen, but he has no moral right to let
that vote be Influenced by considerations
of his former home and allegiance. The
moment he does that he makes America
subordinate to the foreign land from which
he came. When he does that he is unfit
for American citizenship. If he wanted to
cherish the interests of the old country
above those of America he should have
stayed there, and not come hither.
This applies directly to those who have
come to this country and have become nat
uraliZed citizens. 1t applies even more
forcibly to those who have been born in
often they assume retain the hyphen-
ated name, Tibeti-Americans, Swati-Ameri-
cans, or whatever it may be, and align
themselves politically according to their
parents nationalitieS, and stick to their
parents languages, and transmit the same
traits to their children and to their chill
drens children. 1t is all wrong. We have,
and shall have, citizens from all the lands
of the earth. But they should all be Ameri
can citizens - nothing more and nothing
less. There is room here for citizens from
all lands, but there is, or should be, room
for only one kind of citizens, American
citizens and for only one kind of Ameri-
can, the American American.
