A PLATFORM IN HIMSELF.

George Turner as the democratic
nominee for governor would be a plat
form in himself. He was the author
of those provisions in the state consti-
tuition providing for the regulation of
transportation lines, a railway COM
mission, an anti-pass law and the in
hibitiOn of the merging of parallel and
competing lines of railway. He has
never wavered in his advocacy of the
of the fundamental law of the COM
monwealth.
AS member of the United States
senate he was recognized by men of
all parties as the peer in ability of any
member of that body. He welded
great influence in the senate and was
able to secure much valuable recogni-
ito for his state in liberal appropria-
tions for public buildings and for river
and harbOr improvements 1t was
mainly through his efforts that $3.50. 900
was appropriated for beginning work
on a canal around the instructions in
the Columbia between Cello and The
DaIles. Much of this money has not
been used, and as the last congress
made no further allowance for the Co
lumbia, it will be of great service in
the preliminary work
Senator Turner's eminent legal abil-
ity was recognized by President Roose-
welt, who appointed him one of three
commissioners to meet with British
and Canadian commissioners to settle
the Alaskan boundary question. This
was done to the satisfaction of the pat
riQtic people of the United States and
particularly of the people of the Pa
citic northwest.
In comparison with George Turner.
Albert E. Mead, who is Boss Farrell's
for governor is a pigmy pitted
against a giant.

AN EVIDENCE OF PERMANENCE.

The Dawson News takes great sat
isfaction in being able to show from
the official records that the birth rate
in Yukon territory is at last higher
than the death rate. In 1903 there
were las deaths in the Klondike coun-
try and 161 births. This is the first
time in the history of the territory that
the balance, so to speak, has been on
the right side.
A frontier mining country and one
lying up along the Arctic circle could
hardly be expected to be the home
land of very many families, and a
baby in that country, outside of Daw-
son itself, indeed, a rare sight. On
the other hand 145 may seem like a
small total of mortality in a district
hardships and dangers but the
most significant thing about the death
rate is that it is higher now than in the
early days when the hardships were
much greater TINA now. Means of
transportation have been so greatly
improved that there are now practi-
cally no hardships about travelling in
that country, with the result that
larger proportion of weaklings VEN
ture upon the quest for gold than
formerly. The present movement to-
word the gold fields of Yukon and
Alaska is very heavy and a subsistence
of boom times in the states may lead
to larger influx of gold seekers and
to new discoveries in the near future
as important as any yet made
At any rate when a new country has
reached the point where the num-
Der of births exceeds the number of
deaths it may lay strong claim to be
regarded as a permanent and substan-
tial community.

THE NEW ROAD LAW.

J. r. Bergman reports that seventy
one farmers out of seventy five inter
viewed are opposed to the new road law
These farmers judge of the merits or
dement's of the law by what they have
observed in this county. This is hardly
fair to the law, as it's provisions have
been ignored by the commissioners,
who are a law unto themselves The
law provides that all work exceeding
in cost $50 shall be done under con-
tract after competitive bids. A super
visor is not authorized to do work
costing more than $50 except in case
of some emergency, such as a flood.
This provision has been entirely
ignored by the commissioners. They
have given all road work into the
hands of the three supervisors, who
have been allowed to purchase sup
plies and run bills to suit themselves.
of course these three men have not
been able to give proper attention to
y
complaints of farmers about the neg
iect of many roads badly in need of re-
pair.
Under the contract system there is
no limit to the amount of work that
might be done except the amount of
money available to the credit of the
Strjt
supposed to see that the work in his
district is done according to contract.
1t is not necessary for him to spend all
his time in supervising one job. MANY
improvements might be made under
contract at the same time.
The commissioners of this county
have also ignored the law in
the purchase of machinery and
supplies for road work. Such
purchases should be made only
after advertising for competitive
bids, but nothing of the kind has been
done. The commissioners have hougbt
nearly $4,000 worth of macbipar,.
tools and supplies. to say nothing of
stacks of hay. without any notice to
rival dealers. There is no doubt that
III some cases the prices paid have
been eXorbitant and an outrage on the
taxpayers. If road work were Iat bv

WEATHER..
Tonight and Saturday fair.

Walter Christian, who has succeed
eG George II. Stevenson as the head of
the railroad lobby, was in the city yes
terday on what he represented to bust
ness of "absolutely no political sig
nificance whatever" Stevenson always
talked the same way as he travelled
over the state fixing things" AL
though his visit had nothing to do with
politics. Christian did not lose the OPP
pOrtunity of giving out an interview
boosting Boss Farrell's man, Mead for
governor and predicting his election by
an overwhelming majority. 1t is evil
dent that Christian is Whistling to
keep his courage up as he goes through
the graveyard of republican hopes in
eastern Washington. Like Bunyan's
Christian he will continue his pilgrims
progress throughout the state singing
hymns, when he knows that he is in
the slough of dewpond, and, unlike his
namesake, will never get out.

SNOB AND THE WORKINGMAN

The Portland Telegram says:
If the report that comes from east
ern Oregon to the effect that a profess
SOr in d normal school was rotten egged
because he was guilty of the assertion
that no one but a hobo would be found
working in a brickyard, be true while
the act of the brickmakers may be dep
recated, there is little sympathy to be
wasted on the other fellow. 1t is al
legged in this instance that the profess
sor objected to one of the young lady
teachers receiving attentions from one
of the employees at the yard, and in the
course of criticising her conduct gave
voice to the sentiment above indicated.
According to the report, the upshot of
the affair is that schism has been ere
ated in the school, democratic expo
nents of possible decency in the brick
yard and aristocratic friends of the
snobbish professor lining up in social
camps that are decidedly hostile
been for lettering any of the young
lady teachers from indulging in a sea-
son of courtship while employed at
school, cuts no figure in this case if
the facts have been correctly stated. If
the normal professor actually made the
statement attributed to him he is not
a fit man to be employed in any edu-
cational institution in the state He
falls within the definition of that class
as perhaps not the worst of men, but
certainly the most contemptible He
should learn that brickmaking. house
building, blacksmithing or any one of
hundreds of handicr,1fts were honor
able occupations long before the world
had heard of a normal school: that in
herently man is not a BLACKBOARD or
a tramp because he chooses or is fit
ted to follow any one of these callings
rather than the potter one in which
the learned professor is engaged. If
the truth be told about this matter it
is truly source of surprise that there
| is opportunity for social clash in the
faculty of the school over an utterance
of this character, Notwithstanding the
brickyard employees We're guilty of
rudeness almost as inexcusable as that
with which the professor is charged

FAVOR The UNION.
Cumberland Assembly Goes on Record
by Majority of Five.

Complete union of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church with the Presby-
terrain church in the United States of
America, was favored Wednesday at
Dallas, Texas, by the general assem-
bly, of the first named church, in a vote
a heated debate of two days and a
night. The vote was 1872 for and IS
against, majority of only five over
the necessary two-t thirds.
The result of this test of the two
of dramatic. The commissioners to
the assembly have listened patiently
since Tuesday morning to the argu-
ments presented. Those arguments
hinged in the main on the three points
as to whether the doctrine Of pre-
destination was part Of the doctrine
of the Presbyterian church in the
United States of America; as to wheth-
er other races should be admitted to
equal rights in the church in certain
instances and the question as to
whether the educational standard of
the Presbyterian church in the United
States of America was too high.
Rev. DR.. S. NJ. Templeton, of Clarks-
vile, Tenn, who was the mover of a
resolution on last Friday that the re-
port of the committee on fraternity
and union, which favored this union
be recommended to the 116 presbyteries
OF the church for adoption, spoke for
more than an hour in support of his
motion.
The delegates vehemently clamored
for a vote, seeming anxious to finish
the work.
The vote was called by presbyteries

bill and will be sure to please. The
scene is laid at the famous summer
resort, Coney Island, showing the trou-
bles of a landlord in keeping seaside
hotel. His guests are numerous, eccen-
trio and cause him no end of trouble.
Leon Errol as Rudolph Smaltz, the
rich and eccentric Dutchman out for
a good time, revelled in the part. He
worked hard and never failed to con-
vulse his audience with his qqua1nt
humor. Mr.. Enrol is a clever coined
ian and did justice to a long and try
ing part
Del Laurence, as Roger McSweeney
the Irish farmer, proved himself a YER
satile actor.
Mr.. Richards as the landlord of the
hotel for the first time this season was
not the bad man of the play and proved
himself a genial, though somewhat
worried, bOniface.
Mr.. Howard as Reginald F'itZgibbins,
A. C. Winn as Theosophus Bleeter, the
crushed tragedian, gave two clever
character studies. Mr.. Gross as the
hustling bell boy worked in a way
which showed his versatility. 1t was
a clever character sketch and the
number of jokes he played on the
Dutchman and Irishman We're indeed
funny.
Miss Laurence as Bedela Casey
made a clever Irishwoman. Her work
and makeup was artistic and had she
kept all her promises would have COM
mitted bigamy.
Miss Lindsay and Mrs. Tavern as the
two Casino girls looked and did well.
The same bill will be repeated all
week and a special matinee will be
given for the benefit of the children
on Saturday afternoon.

LATIN IN HIGH SCHOOLS.

The old question whether the study
by a high school pupil is being de-
bated at Pennington, Mimi, where
some of the business men are irving
to have the remaining dead language
cut out of the high school course. 1.
A. Herrick, editor of the Dakota
County Tribune, has invoked the au-
thority of President Cyrus Northrop
to settle some disputed points, which
he does tersey. He informs the
Harrington paper that Latin is not
essential to naturalization at the state
university, as either French or Ger
man will be accepted instead How
ever, in order to receive state a1d. N
high school must present an optional
course in Latin if a pupil wishes to
take it.
President Northrop's letter pro-
ceeds to an expression of personal
opinion, which cannot fail to have
state and laymen as we'll. His re-
marks follow:
Il may be permitted to say that |
regard the study of Latin, both on ac-
count Of its intimate relation to our
own vocabulary, and on account of it's
disciplinary effects, as an exceedingly
desirable study, and 1 think that stu
dents generally in high schools should
be encouraged to take at least one
may know what they are losing if they
do not take Latin, and be able to Judge
wisely whether they will take more.
cot course, l understand for stu
dents who are not going through the
high school and not going through the
university, there are subjects that are,
perhaps more practical than Latin; at
the same time, every student is
stronger for knowing something about
the Latin language and it's vocabu-
larry. [ do not think it would be a wise
movement to discourage the study of
Latin and substitute for it two years of
French and two years of German, which
would hardly be sufficient work in
these languages to give one command
of them as spoken languages: while
their relation to our own language is
much less close than that of the Latin,
so far as the vocabulary is concerned"
There is a practical point in the con-
Guiding sentence which should not es-
cape considerations Mastery of a
modern language is a valuable ac-
cOmpliShment, but mere smattering
acquired in a high school can only be
of use as it gives better understand
ing of English. For that purpose Latin
is vastly better. A student who in
tends to pursue the modern languages
and get a speaking knowledge of them
may we'll begin with his ground work
in the high school, but the large ma
jority whose studies end with the high
school should be given an opportunity
to learn the structure and vocabulary
of the great mother of European lang
uages. Latin derivatives form the
bulk of the words found in our diction
aries.
