Same Thing Over Here!

All nature responds gleefully to the
irresistible effects of the coaxing climate
aud while crops of all kinds mature
slowly and, therefore, fully, through
the long summer season, the woods re-
fleet the helpful climatic influences also,
and trees and shrubs of all kinds ex-
hibit luxurlant growth not to be seen
in any other part of the United States.
In riding through the country at this
time of year an unequaled panorama
presents itself at everv turn in the
road. 4 picture taken at one point in
the country road will bear no reSem-
blance to one taken ut point not 30
yards distant from the first, and this
car, be repeated with endless variety
all averaging so high in magnificent
diversity as to make of the Willamette
valley veritable picture gallery, whose
every exhibit proclaims Nature to be
the enthusiastic artist.
And all these characteristics, to be
observed everywhere in this part of the
state, will be especially noticeable in
the Lewis and Clark grounds next year,
Those who have been so fortunate as to
visit the Park in Portland will recall
the great variety Of native trees which
grow in such endless profusion. This
characteristic of the park will be
pleasing feature of the Lewis and Clark
grounds, with the added attraction of
panorama more elaborately beautified,
and which is not to be compared for
moment with the location and natural
surroundings of any other exposition
ever held IN the United States.
In the woods adjacent to the Cham
poeg monument on Monday party of
visitors noted growing on fiat of
ground no larger than an ordinary
dooryard beautiful specimens of red
fir, alder, willow, ash, anrel, cedar,
dogwood. oak, hazel, servlceberry, vine
maple, hard maple, wild currant with
its scarlet flowers in full bloom, black
berry vines climbing over decaying
logs, and strawberry blossoms here and
there struggling for supremacy with
the lnXuriant grass.
With this scene reproduced over and
over again, as background for 1850
picnickers celebrating great histoli,

OF all their experiences the climate
and scenery of Oregon will he one of
the greatest attractions aud make the
most lasting impression upon the thou
sands OF eastern people who will visit
the Lewis and Clark Fair next year
And climate and scenery are not to be
ignored for they contribute not only to
the comfort of life, but temperate
and decent climate is one of the prin.

A Practical Question.

At the recent Conference for Education
ar birmingham, President Alderman, or
Tulane University took strong ground
in favor OF having the negro educated
Mt the expense of the Federal govern
ment. He said that the South had TOO
much TO do in educating both whites and
blacks, and should have aid; that the
Federal government paid hundred MIL
lions a year for pensions, and there was
no reason why it should not pay some
thing to educate the children OF the
black man. hrere is bitter opposition to
this plan, and the New Orleans Times
DEM crat in opposing DIR. Alderman,
says that II the Federal government
should undertake to furnish such aid,
the South would in time lose control OF
It's school system.
Here is a question to be seriously con-
sdered BY all Southern men who are
opposed to educating the negro. Long
ago Tho Times-DIspatch gave warning
that ii the Southern people refused to
educate the negro, the Northern people
would unquestionaby do 1t TOR them'
and there would be no way for the South
Ia preyent it. The negro children of the
South are going TO have the opportunity
OF educating themselves and improving
their condition. There can be no doubt
whatever on that score. This is an edu-
o,,icn., aya and M considern bio, num-
Der OF children will be permitted to grow
UP without the advantages of education,
Only let any Southern state serve notice
that IL Will withhold from the negro race
any appropriation for school purposes,
and II will not be long before the North
ern people will raise enough money to
supply schools for the blacks of that
State. The money for this purpose might
come from private subscriptions; but II
| would come, and the Southern people
would lose control, The negroes would be
1 educated by Northern teachers, and ac-
cording to the Northern way OF think
ing ana that would bode no good fol
tho South,
Therefore. leaving out all other ques
tons and all other considerations, from
the standpoint of policy 1t is good sens
for the Southern people to so on as the
have done and make appropriations 70

Printing the News.

correspondent Of the New York
Herald complains bitterly Of that paper
for devoting so much space to society
vows "The Herald makes me tired"
saws he. II open 1t In the morning, get
few pages OF war and other real news
and then have to wade through columns
80 Mnuds. Marias and T1illlans aud their
,onsensical society doings before I can
get out of the pink teas and into the
real doings Of the day."
There are many people who take TINS
narrow view OF newspaper. They seem
~ think that the paper Is made for them
exclusively and for none else. But
newspaper is made for the general pup
lie and it must print all sorts OF news
that all sorts of people desire. There
are some who like politics ABOVE az
nat all sorts of people desire. There are
some who like politics above all thlrss'
and others who like sporting news ABOVE
all things, and others who think more OF
no financial page, and a few, we nope,
who find most interest in the editorial
mage. For that reason the ali-arouha
,owsnaner must have something to suit
The taste Of every class of readers.
r. there were in the paper nothing
hut society news, the people VINO ~
not care for pink teas would haSe
inst ground for complaint. But so long
as any reader finds in the paper "hat
ia ,i,os IT Is unreasonable and selfish
for him to object to other varletles oA
revs which other readers like. Ihls cor
respondent of the Herald Is not com
nelled, as he pretends,, ITO wade throusn
columns of Mauds, Maras and Llllians
and their nonsensical society doings
before he can get into the real dolhss

proyides what he requires he has no right

writer In the June Atlantic, "ls the

I'm view OF the rapid gains In traffic

ably safe statement that at least half
of the total average capitalization OF
the electric railroads Of the country at
the present time represents nothing more
than promoters profits. The roadbed
and equipment of these properties Is
still new, so that there Is strong lkelI-
