much about their topic. In addition to this there
are youth, enthusiasm and the spirit Of emulation
keen within them These are the factors to be count
ed ON in any line of mental endeavor that does not
call for the exercise of technical knowledge requiring
years to garner.
Viewed from another point the idea of having
school children interested in helping their own
state is good Their researches will compel them to
learn They will read and discuss and will be the
better citizens for what they 50 gain.
How the articles that are written by the Oregon
ians are to obtain publication in papers outside of
the state is not told Possibly the Commercial Club
has not figured that out Announcement is made
that the success of any competitor viii not depend
upon the class of publication in which it shall ap-
pear. 1t is intimated that the competitors should
write for some eastern paper, the selection to be in
towns in which present 0regonians formerly re-
sided There are numerous small papers in the
United States that might use the matter so con-
tributed in lieu of miscellany, when semi-local
trend is supplied by the announcement that the
writer is the son or daughter of former resident.
Probably the best communications will be pub

THE PASSING OF MR.. BRYAN.

William j. Bryan is, if developments at st Louis
can be taken for it. no longer the important factor
in democratic circles that he formerly was IL IS 70
Be presumed that the delegates to the national con-
yention are representative men, and it IS not un-
reasonable to suppose that their sentiment IS the
sentiment of the great mass of democratic voters.
These delegates are largely opposed to any recogni-
ton of the famous Nebraskan, and at the opening
session declined to acord even decent greeting to
the standard-bearer of two campaigns.
Mr. BRYAN has not been discreet. He has all along
attributed his defeats for president to the action
Of the conservative wing of the party in supporting
the lamented Mckinley and in this he is correct at
least SO far as the campaign of 1896 is concerned.
He has ever derided those democrats who refused
to follow his leadership and for the past four years
has continually belabored them through the columns
Of his Commoner and from the platform. He has
advised the rank and file against the reorganizers
and done everything else within his power to widen
the breach in his party, with the evident purpose
Of retaining for himself leadership which resulted
In defeat
The conservatives, now apparently in full con-
troll of the party are paying back the Nebraskan in
his own medium of exchange. Bryans suggestions
are not kindly received, nor is there any marked
determination to permit him to figure in the affairs
Of the party. He is being turned down" in man
ner most forcible, and before the convention ad-
iourns viii be made, no doubt, to keeny realize his
isolation.
Democrats have evidently come to the conclusion
that eight years of Organism is sufficient. Under
his leadership they have twice gone down to ingor
ious defeat, and if they ever to win again they
must select some other guiding head Indeed, they
must eliminate him from their affairs That the
disposition to force him to the background is due
to this feeling seems quite evident, and there is
every to believe that the adjournment of the
convention will mark the passing Of the brilliant
but obnoxious Nebraska statesman.

CHILDREN AS PROMOTERS.

San Francisco Call: The Commercial Club of
Portland, in an attempt to give great advertise
ment to Oregon, has devised scheme Of cash prizes
and medals to be awarded for the best article or
story written by any resident of Oregon, to be pub
hshed in any newspaper outside of Oregon prior to
October l, 1904. While this competition is open
to all persons the school children have been notified
that they are eligible to win prizes under the con-
dtions provided In other words, the children may
be utilized as promoters for the benefit Of their ma
tive state.
There is enough of novelty in this idea to attract
attention 1t has chance to work out we'll There
are in every community precocous young people who
have some knack other in degree that is potent
to surprise their elders. Children as competitive
boomers of Oregon will be assisted by all their COM
petent relatives to give good account of themselves
Every one remembers the wonderful boy, Thomas
Chatterton, as literary landmark and more than
nine days wonder. Mendelssohn wrote fine music
when he was mere lad; so did Mozart; and at a
tender age Zerah Coburn, mathematically inclined
performed wonderful mental feats History is full
of mention of youngsters whose fame has outlved
that of the grave and accomplished adults of their
time Possibly Oregon may possess boy or girl
whose capacity to write something attractive about
the state approaches true genius.
In any event the outcome will be watched with
curiosity outside as well as within Oregon There
is this to be said in favor Of the boys and girls of
any state Under the present school system, facts
that are dmmed in the minds Of adults by lapse
of years and altered somewhat by intervening con-
ditiOns are familiar topics in class rooms. The
school pupils know or have the facilities to find out
directly from copious encyclopedias or elsewhere

NO PLACE TO MEET

Having Trouble.
LOOK FOR PLACE FOR HOLDING MEETING
Nearly All Large Public Assembly

Building Inspector.
LOOK FOR PLACE FOR HOLDING MEETING

The chairman OF the democratic and
republican county central committees
in Walla Walla are having their share
cf trouble at the present time. and they
solve the question of securing Il suit
able place where political meetings
can be held. Early in the season it
was planned to hold the meetings in
the Walla Walla opera house. but that
building was condemned by Building
Inspector Glasford. Then it was decid
ed that the next best place would be
the court house. Several meetings had
been arranged for by botn political
parties to be held in that place. Now
that this structure has also been con-
demned for such purposes the program
only large place in which such meet
ings can now be arranged for is Arm
DRY hall. This will be used unless
some other arrangements can be made.
1t has been suggested TO the two chair
men that Il large tent could be secured,
but the objection has been raised to
this plan, for the reason that such a
place could not be heated and the cost
of lighting would be more than the
campaign funds Will stand.
1t is now expected that the Humph-
rey meeting, to be held under the au
spices of the republicans. will take
place on the court house lawn.
Chairman Cauon may arrange to
have the Goodyear speaking at the new
