AT In rHE SCHOOLS.

The effort OF supt. Traver to have
an art exhibit in each of the large
public schools is commendable.
The procedes OF these ehtettain-
ments are to be spent on pictures for
each Of the school rooms.
The education OF the tastes and feel.
ings. through the medium Of fine arts,
is much to be desired in any commu.
nifty.
Familiarity with the beautiful and
inspiring cannot but bring a harvest
of nobler sentiments and less sordid
ideals
Good pictures In the home and the
school means better mental images in
the minds and hearts OF the growing
generations.
The liberal patronage of these art
exhibitions Is desired as an elevating
influence in the life of the community.
Drawing has been introduced in the
public schools. and these exhibits will
foster a love for that branch Of study.

Primary League. with a few changes
to improve the bill.
Mr.. Brownell says he Is not after
any federal ONCE. is nor candidate
for the U. s. senate. or any. other Of
hce.
He called on few of his friends
and even went so far as to call at the
office Of a paper that has roasted him
numerically.
His part in the late congressional
convention, where Hermann was rom
mated, is yet fresh in the minds of
many.
He was a candidate there, nominal
ly. with apparent opposition in
his own county, but which was an ef
fective play for points by his friends.
Catch. Yawter and Kelly wanted
Brownelrs cooperation to defeat Her
mann. but did not want him in the
pool as a candidate.
When this became clear to Brow.
nell he withdrew from the convention
and went to sleep" That practically
deadlocked the convention.
The editor OF this paper is the only
man who ever went into Brownelrs
county and showed up defects in his
record that ought to have retired him
from politics.
But he is politician who is not
easily tired, as others have dlscov.
cred besides the editor. In spite Of
the oregonian, Mr. Brownell has man.
aged to keep on earth. or rather by

PRESS MUzzLER A BOOMERANG.
Hits Pennypaeker and He May Re
sign as Governor


Something Of a sensation has been
caused by a report from Pittsbure
to the effect that a story is going the
rounds among the politicians of that
city that Governor Pennypacker is to
be asked to resign his Office as gov.
ernor and take an appointment on the
supreme court bench to succeed the
late Chief Justice McCollum.
The story cannot be confirmed but
those who are in position to know
the political situation in Pennsylvania
believe that there is something in Il.
The chief reason advanced for this
belief Is that Governor Pennypacker
made himself extremely unpopular by
placing his signature to the famous
Salus- Grady press muzzler, and that
mis- retirement to the bench would
have a tendency to clear the political
atmosphere which has a decidedly ha
zy look at present.
It is not expected that the governor
will make any statement relating to
the matter and If this change is made
II is probable that il will be brought
about with extreme suddenness.
In any event the press mueller is
dead. to all intents and purposes, and
is certain TO be repealed during the
next session Of the legislature.-The
Fourth Estate.
