cHAMeERLAlNs ELECTION CON.
CEDED.


The official count of Multnomah
county has been completed and the
plurality of Geo e. Chamberlain for
governor remains undisturbed. There
is no indication that there will be a
contest for his Office before the legis-
lature.
In fact, unless a contest can be
made in some county, II is difficult to
see how there can be any ground for
a contest before the legislature. The
legislature only makes a formal recog.
milton of the canvass by the county
authorities.
Chamberlain is a man who is per.
sonally popular in all parties. He
has a strong following of personal
friends in the legislature and the
leading Republicans of the state
would not stand for any strained ef
fort to count him out of even a small
er plurality.
To secure his election he had tc
overcome the normal plurality OF
about fifteen thousand Republicans
Besides that he had to overcome the
gain in Republican votes that have
come into Oregon the last four years
Il is not far from a correct guess tC
say he received 10000 Republican
votes.
An able lawyer, a popular man. an
astute politician, with ten thousand
Republicans back of him,-it would
seem that II would be no slight task
to call his election in question, even
by a partisan legislature were it Sc

ABOUT SCHOOL sUPERlNTEND.
ENCE


There Is a great deal OF idle talk
these days about our public schools
and what the local board did in the
matter of employing a principal for
the East school in addition 10 a super
lntendent. 1t is idle talk because the
action of the board Is justified and In
world at large and our community In
particular The politicians who want
to curb our school facilities and save
a few dollars, and very few dollars
at that. can talk expansion for the
Philippines or Cuba galore but when
II comes to expanding where we live
the shoe il on the other foot. For
some years our schools were crippled
by having superintendent who
walked the streets" too much, and
only worked the schools as a stepping
stone or side Issue. To overcome
this. the position of superintendent
was abolished, and IL has since been
proven that superintendent cannot
spend all his time in the class room
aud look after the interests of the
school at the same time. As a result
much good energy on the part of ca
pable teachers has been lost, simply
because their work was not properly
apportioned. While some have not
had enough TO do others have had so
much to do that they could not do
Justice to the children under their
charge, Is this right? Is II fair to
the taxpayers to have one fifty dollar
teacher oyertaXed 10 such an extent
that her work cannot be we'll done.
while another has not enough work
to keep her busy? This kind of man.
agoment involves loss not only to
the taxpayers, but the children are
retarded in their work. In the case
of both child and teacher one thus be-
comes an idler and the other Is over
taxed. Would any good business man
conduct his affairs on such plan?
No, he would see To II that every en-
ploye he has rendered him the largest
amount of results. lie intelngontly

TO superintend the employees. The
superintendent, the manager, the
boss, the captain, or whatever his po-
sition may be, is the most important
man to the establishment, and the
man who brings his employer the
most profit. Would a manufacturing
establishment, for instance have its
superintendent do the routine work of
a common hand and let the interests
of the whole institution suffer? No,
that would be penny wise and pound
foolish It would be on par with hav-
ing Mr.. Kay, at the Salem Woolen
Mills, take the place of a weaver at
the loom, just because he knows how
to weave, and let the entire force
work hap-hazard as 1t saw fit? No,
because by his superintendent he
can save the price of several weayers,
in the improved quality and increased
quantity Of work done by the weavers
whose work he superintends. There
would be just as much sense 20 have
a school superintendent continually
teach and let everything go at loose
ends as for Mr.. Kay to continually
weave and let the big mill take care
of Itself. Why not have the superin.
tendent do janitor work as well?
Because It pays better to have him
render the more important service of
making the work of each teacher the
most efficient, and seeing that each
janitor does the work that makes it
the most comfortable for the schools
and the most economical for the dis
trict.
Salem wants no more ornamental
superlntendents who neither teach
nor superintend, but II needs a man
who will see that every teacher en-
ployed does the largest possible
amount of work, and does it to the
best advantage. Such an one can
easily earn his salary and save to the
district the price of another teacher
besides. The best and most effective
work in all avenues is done, not by
main strength and awkwardness,
but by intelligent superintendent
and this is just as true in school work
as elsewhere.

THE endorsement of Col. Pearre by
the Frederick county primaries and
the Allegany county convention on
Saturday last practically assures his
denomination and his triumphant
election in November to succeed him
self as the Congressman in the next
House of Representatives from this
District.
This action on the part of our
neighbor counties will be followed by
like favorable action when the Re
publicans of Garrett assemble in con-
vention in Oakland Tuesday next.
He is the choice of the people.
His course has been consistent; he
has been vigorous and able Repre-
sentative, looking after the interests
of his constituents with marked abil-
ity and thus meriting the honor of a
unanimous nomination.

has been found on the side of the peo-
pie defending their rights and hold
ing aloft the honor of the District he
has so ably represented the past four
years.

THE manner in which prominent
Democratic leaders are being attack
ed and assailed by Democratic papers
contributes materially to the gaiety
Of politics. Under the guise of re-
uniting the party Democratic editors
are taking occasion to express their
personal dislikes of party leaders. so
that the Democratic split instead of
closing is, if anything, becoming
wider. Chairman Jones, following his
defeat, receives more censure than
sympathy; Richardson, the Demo-
cratic leader of the House, has been
severely ridiculed for his lack of judg-
ment in bringing discredit on the
party in connection with the Danish
investigation affair; Bryan, of course,
is being cold-shouldered at every OPP
portunity by the gold Democrats,
while Cleveland has the especial en-
nifty of the silver men; Hill and Cor
man, the ablest of the Democratic
leaders, are by no means exempt from
attack, criticism and fault-tinding.
In fact there is no man in the Demo
cratic party who has anything APP
preaching a national Democratic fol-
lowing or the general support and re-
spect of the once powerful Democrat
ic party.

UNITED FOR COL. PEARRE.

The heartfelt esteem in which Con-
gresham George A. Pearre is held at
home, as well as in the other counties
of the Sixth Congressional district
was convincingly exemplified at yes
terday's convention. 1t was a verita-
BILE love banquet, with genuine Re-
publican harmony as the POSTMASTER.
The resolution which obtained the
conventions hearty Endorsement,
while lofty in its praise of Col. Pearre's
conduct in Congress, is no more ex-
allied than it deserves, for he has been
eminently faithful in the discharge of
his every duty. No matter with what
frequency or how trivial request to
Col. Pearre from one of his constit-
uents, it receives prompt and effective
attention.
His record in this particular, I'M
ceasing interest in the wants and
needs of those who dwell within the
district he represents, irrespective of
party utilization, is not excelled by
any other representative in Congress.
Furthermore, Col. Pearre has proven
himelf tried and true statesman,
whose knowledge of men and mea-
sures, whose rare tact, diplomacy and
oratorical powers powers stamp him
as leader in debate and the framing
of national legislation. In every sense
is he worthy of that honor about to
be conferred upon him, renomina-
ton by reclamation at the hands of
the Republican electors of the Sixth
Congressional district of Maryland

ism, cannot be excused on that as
sumption. Much may be excused to
party prejudice develops to such a
degree that it bars out patriotic SEN
timent it becomes too reprehensible
to be extenuated by any citizen who
cherishes the virtue of patriotism.
The Democrats in Congress have
suggested nothing that might be of
benefit in dealing with the Philip
pine question. They have manifested
no desire to do anything but obstruct
and embarass the government in its
efforts to do that which will, ulti-
mately, be of the greatest possible
benefit to the Filipinos Themselves
give them stable government with
personal liberty under laws which
afford equal protection to all. This
is condition to which the Filipino,
if left to work out the problem for
himself. would never attain, but,
while the government is surely work
ing toward it, Democratic represent
atives do nothing but prate about
tyranny and oppression on the part
of their own country.
This course of conduct may warp
the minds and misdirect the opinions
of thoughtless people, but it will
never really be popular with the
masses of our countrymen. 1t is one
thing to differ from the policy the
government may pursue in any given
case, and another and very different
thing to concentrate every possible
effort to besmirch the fair name and
reputation of the country by endless
and perpetual fault-finding and mis-
representation. If any Filipino has
been wronged and abused, the ad-
ministration will not be slow to search
out and punish his oppressor, whether
he be private in the ranks or an
officer of high degree. Doubtless such
expressions, prompted by yindictive
and vicious conduct on the part of
the Filipinos themselves, have oc-
CURED, but there is abundant evil
dence that they are exceptions to a
rule, designed and generally enforced,
to give the natives of the Philippines
a just conception of equitable and
wise laws, honestly enforced. The
testimony of such men as Governor
Taft should convince every unpreju-
diced American of the truth of this
statement. But the trouble with the
Democrats in Congress is that they
are not only prejudiced, but deter
mined to give the worst coloring to
every story told by romancing and
irresponsible people. They may live
to discover that many of the Demo
cratic constituents are of an entirely
different way of thinking, and are
thoroughly Disguised with their per-
sistent preference for party over pa
triotism.

AN UNPATRIOTIC COURSE.

1t is interesting, if not instructive,
to note the course of the Democratic
minority in Congress in relation to
all questions which have arisen out
of the acquisition of the Philippine
Islands by this country. Systematic
opposition to everything done by the
Administration and the Republican
majority in Congress has marked the
conduct of this minority The paci-
tication of the archipelago and the
establishment of stable and just gov
eminent, which has been so largely
accomplished, is derided and belittled
in the face of the most abundant and
satisfactory proof of the facts. Errors
of judgment in dealing with the per-
picking problems encountered in the
efforts to attain this condition, have
been grossly exaggerated, and sever
ity of action towards guerillas, ban
dts and others, who have utterly ig-
nored the rules of civilized warfare,
have been magnified and distorted to
the greatest possible degree.
This course of conduct, prompted,
without doubt, by extreme partisan

IT IS strange but true that each of
four or five candidates for the same
Office believe confidently that he will
be elected, and more can show figures
to prove it before election day. The
mistake usually occurs through fail
ure to count the unknown quantity
which is always the most important
factor. There never was politician
who was entirely master of his fate.
No matter how wise he may be, there
is always some forgotten, unreckoned
element which joins the force for his
defeat, or unbidden, helps win his
way to victory. And it often occurs
that the factor which a candidate
counts most strongly in his favor
turns squarely against him in the
end. The winning or losing of votes
depends on many little things, most
of which are not reckoned in the
ffice-seekers' calculations.

an interesting report upon the whole
subject, which is published in the re-
port of the State Board of Education
for 1901:
In some of the States when manual
training was first introduced it caused
some anxiety among trades organiza-
tions, upon the idea that such schools
might be designed to train skilled ar
tisans. But they were speedily re-
assured. Such is not the design of
manual training in the public schools.
The trades idea is distinctly excluded.
The mental training boy receives
in school does not make lawyer of
him, but it may fit him to study law
after he leaves school. So the wood
working school will not make a car
penter, but it may aid the pupil, ifhe
should later on decide to become an
apprentice to the trade. The idea of
the manual training school is not how
to make living, but to learn how to
use the hands, to become neat, &C
curate and skillful. Such knowledge
is, of course, of inestimable practical
value, as anyone may see by contrast
ing clumsy man or boy with one
who is adroit. The manual school is
now occupying much of the attention
of those who have the conduct of the
public school system of Maryland, both
in the cities and counties, and it's i'm
portance is fully realized. Mr. VIM.
G. A. Hammel has organized an asso-
citation of the manual training teach
ers of Maryland. The objects of this
association are the discussion of ques-
tions relating to manual training, the
promotion of efforts to increase it's
efficiency in the public schools of the
State, and the advocacy of needed
legislation regarding manual training.
