HOW 1T WAS KILLED
The yote,on the Eastern Oregon In
dustrial School.

The yote;on the Eastern Oregon In
dustrial School.
The, Capital Journal gives an ac-
count of the fight over the Eastern
Oregon Industrial school bill, de-
feated in the house last Friday. It
says IN part: The bill was cham
pioned by Messrs McAlister, Dress
er and Mattoon, all of whom made
eloquent appeals for the success of
the bill. Mr. Colvig of jackson, op-
posed the bill in a set speech, urg-
ing that the school was not required.
Speaker Reeder, having called
Representative Butt to the chair,
addressed the House in favor Of the
bill, urging its passage. He made
an eloquent plea, but it was useless,
the bill going down to defeat, lack
ing only three votes of a majority.
The opposition to the bill was the
hest organized Of any case yet seen
during the present session.
The vote by which the bill was
defeated was as follows:
Yeas-Barrett, Black, Briggs,
Carter, Dresser. Geer, Grace, Hell
ges, Cirk, Nation, McAlister, Nc
Craken, McGreer, Miller, Noting

WHAT Co-0PERA TI0N MEANS.

The free ferry proposition is too
trivial matter of expense for there
to be serious disagreement among
citizens of Benton county. Its
whole cost for year would amount
to but 333 cents tax on $1,000
worth of taxable property, should
the county bear the whole expense.
and to but 163 cents should the
county pay but half the expense
In the latter it would be but one dol
lar of cost to the man whose tax
able property was valued at $4,000
for assessment purposes. The mat
ter is entirely too trivial for men to
become excited over.
The fact of the matter is that
each section of Benton county
should desire the advancement and
Strengthening Of every other sect
ion within the county limits. Cor
wallis should be anxious for the
development of Alsea, Monroe
should be anxious to see Soap
Greek develop; andivice versa. We're
Corvallis twice as populous and
twice as wealthy city. she would
pay double the amount of taxes,
and the taxes to be paid by other
sections of the county would be
correspondingly reduced. The same
is true of every locality. Wha,
helps one, helps all. A system o.
cooperation and mutual assistance
in road building and Improvement
is the correct rule of action. Sect
ions should not be divided up II
hostile camps, warning each against
the other. Only paralysis and de.
lapidation result, from that course
In ali these matters there is always
middle ground on which there car
be unity Of purpose with happy
and profitable results for the ulti
mate outcome.

WHATA WOMAN CAN DO.

In general, people are not out OF
humor with Mrs Carrie Nation, the
Kansas saloon smasher. The rea-
son for it is that saloons have no
legal standing under the laws OF
Kansas. Prohibition is the law OF
the land there, and every saloon
that exists is in open defiance OF
fhe prohibition law. It is because
of this, that when Mrs Nation sal
lies out with her hatchet and smash
es the windows and fixtures of a
saloon, that she invariably escapes
punishment. The same thing at
tempted in Oregon would result in
arrest tand fine or Imprisonment,
because here, saloons are licensed
the community accepting the Ii
cense fee as consideration for the
privilege of selling liquor, and there
by becoming silent partner IN the
business.
Mr. Nations acts appear to be
awakening a sentiment for enfor-
cement of, law in various towns IN
Kansas. The food of sunlight
thrown upon conditions in the
state by the notoriety achieved by
Mrs Nation has drawn attention to
the fact that in almost every city,
town and hamlet the law has been
Einked at by officials, has been de-
fed by liquor dealers, and has been
ignored by public sentiment, con-
dition of shameless subversion OF
a sacred statute, that the people.
for the sake of the good name Of
their commonwealth, shrink from
having advertised to the rest of the
world. Accordingly, in one large
town the people have driven out
the saloons, Topeka has served no.
tice on all joints to get out, and the
attorney general of the state has
appointed famous counsel to assist
in future enforcement of the pro-
hibition law.
