sALEM BOWS vlcroRY.

The winning of the oratorical hon
ors at Eugene, in a contest between
the state universities of three states,
by boy from Salem of the class OF
1906. was a great surprise.
Young Mott has given evidences OF
talent in this direction, and it has
been carefully cultivated. But the
older students generally get away
with these hOnors.
The daring presentation of char
acter usually held up to scorn--the
free treatment of Benedict Arnold
was in itself brilliant undertaking,
and young Mott won in spite of his
hero.
College oratory has been rather in
disrepute for some years, and the
smaller colleges have been winning
away from the big institutions. The
standards OF oratory have been laid
on false ideals too much.
Hence the man who becomes a col
lege orator. stands about ten chances
to one OF never being a real orator
Mott seems cut out for the tenth one

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?

Suppose the United States govern
ment would issue no more patents to
public lands, except to families that
would live on the land?
Suppose that homesteads were to
be actual homesteads. and no one
could get them but home-builders?
What would happen If big syndi-
Gates and corporations could not grab
large tracts of the public lands for
speculative and monopoly purposes?
Wouldn't this government go to
eternal smash II the Weyerhousers
and Rockafellers could not get a cor
ner on the public domain?
Would Oregon, as a state govern
ment exist If the state would treat
it's lands in the same manner, and
sell them only to actual home-seek
ers?
1t is believed by some that the
commonwealth would go to pot II
the fraudulent land-grabbing schemes
were all nipped in the bud?
But what are the lands for? Is Il
all dream that they are for the
people? And It is a mistake to say
that the people are the home-build
ers?
II man and his family can't &
ani live on quarter section for a
least Ave years, ought they to have
a homestead?

gress.
In spite OF the fact that a tenth
grade was added the past year, with
out additional expense, there are
those so conservative as to oppose all
progress, even though II can be had
for nothing.
Good schools cost money, but the
point Is this Elect a director who
will favor all the progress possible
consistent with good business man
agement. Why should men be put
on the school board to prevent pro
gress?

The best public schools are needed
to make the colleges and private
schools here prosperous. People will
not send their children to be educated
in a city where educational pride is
at a low ebb.

An rHE sr.. Louis FAIR.

Mr.. ]. C. oGodale, of this city, writes
from the st. Louis fair that Supt. j,
r. Douglas, of Albany, complains that
he has small exhibits, and almost no
literature from the counties and ex-
hibits of Oregon.
This must be a mistake, as the Hon
Jefferson Myers has given his whole
time and attention to that st. Louis
exhibit, and Mr.. Goodale could not
have had his glasses on when he was
shown around.
Certainly the taxpayers have put
up literally, and enough men are on
salary to make a showing there. But
there is a suspicion tnat the manage.
ment has not included the interests
of the whole state.
1t is certain that If the Portland fair
is run on the same plan that the
St. Louis end of it 1t will not get the
support it deserves. The people OF
Oregon have not yet been put in
touch with it.
A few old political deadheads, and
very few private citizens are at St
Louis, and probably all under pay
some several times, like Prof. Young.
The graft is worked as usual for all
there Is In 1t.
The mass of the people of Oregon
have yet to be touched and to become
interested in the fair at st. Louis and
