Teachers Meeting.

Yesterday afternoon the teachers
below the high school assembled in
Miss Kinds room in the high school
building. When the meeting came to
order an interesting class drill was
given by Miss Ruth Davis. principal
of the Emerson school. The drill
was given with pupils of the first
grade. The method of presentation
was to give statement to the pu-
pills such as willie han an apple
and gave half of it to his little sis
ter" The pupils then expressed
their ideas in regard to the state
ment, what kind of boy Willie was.
etc. The main objects of the drill
are to develop concentration of
thought. ethical culture and to en-
large the child's vocabulary. Miss
Davis conducted the recitation skill
fully, and after it was over the teach
ers were given three minutes time
10 write their ideas upon the drill.
After the notes were written, they
we're all read and a profitable dis
cussion followed in which many took
part.
A petition for a pension bill was
signed by most of the teachers, and
viii be presented with other petit
lions at our state legislature. The
teachers agreed that it would be a
good thing if salaries could be so
generous that pensions would be un-
necessary. but thought the pension
bill the best thing in sight. 1t is
not an ideal pension bill, but it is
believed that if this bill is passed,
within a few years it will probably
be amended so that it will be sat
isfactory pension law.
The meeting was one of the best
the teachers have had this year.

THE CONSPIRACY COLLAPSlNG

to hold the seat which is as unques-
tionably his own as is the seat that
President Roosevelt holds. The Eek
pert" testimony has been shot so
full of holes that there is no need
to consider it further. The majority
OF the investigating committee may
endeavor to earn it's hire by dishon-
estly reporting in favor of unseating
Governor Adams, but the joint ses-
sion will not dare 10 consunnnate
the crime. There are lengths to
which the most desperate criminal
dare not go. and one of these is
the facing of a genuinely aroused
people.
1t may be said here and now, as
one of the certain things the future
holds, that none of the parties to
the conspiracy by which il was es-
sayed to steal a governorship, and
which did succeed in the theft of
supreme court and legislature, will
live long enough or noble enough to
ever live down their own deep dis
grace and the shame they have
brought to a state which had been
good mother to them. Peabody will
go back to oblivion, leaving behind
him only the distinction that he
sounded the limit to which a COVER
nor might descend; neither one of
the two supreme court judges, re
sponsible for all the great expense
to which the state has been sub
jected and for the perpetration of
signal acts of partisanship and law
lessness unprecedented in the an
nails of jurisprudence-neith of
these will ever again hold a place
of honor and trust in this state
where the people have voice; Gug-
genheim. who has plotted for the
legislature in a way that would
shame the lowest thief, will not only
find himself distanced. but not even
entered. in the running two years
hence: Bill Evans will be lucky If he
has left a franchise to run his cars
over after 1910. And thus will the
thieves in high places be taught the
force of a people now fully awake
to the atrocious series of crimes that
has been perpetrated upon them.
The republican party OF the future
will not be composed of the material
responsible for these crimes, unless
it is courting swift and certain death.
The logical leaders are such as Sen
ator DeLong-honest men, whom the
corporation corruptionists could not
bribe nor browbeat. nor the party
whip lash into line when their con-
sciences dictated otherwise. If they
cannot find a haven within the ranks
of their own party where law and
honesty abide, they will go to par
~ where justice does find a being.

ROOSEVELT AS A POLITICIAN.

Representative Williams, the dem
ocratic floor leader, rather hit the
nail on. the head when he said, in
proposing a toast the other evening;
Here's to Theodore Roosevelt, the
man who. as an author. has been
grossly overrated by the American
people. and the man who, as a pol
itician, has been grossly underrated
by the democratic party"
AS a politician, the president has
proven himself a unique figure. He
has won great things from compare
lively unimportant material-such
as a literary reputation gained by a
few magazine sketches of western
life and a so-caled history of Thorn
as Benton which abounds with fla
grant misstatements. His war rec
ord was so meager as to be scarcely
visible. his most notable exploit dur
ing the Cuban campaign consisting
of an act of characterization in the
issuing of the famous round robin" T"
Many actions which would have
sounded the political death knell
with many a greater man have but
contributed to the name and fortune
of Theodore Roosevelt. BY con-
summate knowledge of the advertis-
ing art he has impressed his trade
mark upon the American mind. and
by sheer audacity has ranged his
own commonplace figure alongside
the shining lights of history.
While there is an inordinate de
gree of vanity and the theatrical
quality strongly developed in Pres
ident Roosevelt's character. there is
the saving grace of underlying hon
esty. He loves popular approval too
well to sacrifice it for financial ad-
vancement. and on this account he
has kept closer to the people than to
the corporations. In this respect he
is not a very good republican; but,
on the contrary. might have made an
unusually good democrat under diff
ferent environments.

Tin wedding Anniyersary.

The handsome new cottage of Mr.
and Mrs. W. S. Core. at the corner
of Twelfth and Rood streets, was the
scene last night of most enjoyable
tin wedding anniversary
The Cores have just moved into
their new home and the occasion
was also made a sort of house warm
ing by Mr.. and Mrs. Core and their
friends. of whom about thirty had
assembled to do honor to the occas-
ion.
The evening was given over to the
game of fve-hand euchre, and the
result of thee ontest gave the first
ladies' favor to Mrs. Samuel N.
Wheeler, and the first gentlemen's
favor to John w. Armstrong. The
consolation prizes were awarded to
Mrs. |. n. Bunting and Mr.. Samuel
y. Wheeler.
Following the game a delightful
supper was served the guests. The
table decorations were all of tin. as
were the score cards and everything
pertaining " TIC SiANei "a Lilly - -
which was unique and delightful
throughout. Mr. and Mrs. Core being

The alleged investigation going on
before the legislative committee at
the state capitol has been productive
of peculiar results.
After the time and great expense
entailed in presenting the testimony
of the corporation experts. who by
the wave of a hand presumed to turn
good votes into bad. all was shat
tered at the first contact with real
evidence Though thousands of bal
lots were cast aside as spurious. ac-
cording to expert" prestidigitation.
not one of these ballots has failed to
prove itself a legitimate one when
the real test-the breaking of the
seals-was applied.
All this proves that expert testi-
mony is worse than worthless, even
when honestly conducted. In this
case the experts have been drawing
$50 per diem from the state, and
probably more than that amount on
the side; for the purpose of discov-
ering material favorable to the cor
poration side. And they tried their
best to earn their hire.
There never has been doubt in
honest minds that Governor Adams
was elected, and by a great many
more votes than surface returns
showed. With the latest develop
ments. the depth and breadth of the
crime is made manifest to the dull
est or most partisan mind.
1t also makes clear other things:
that is. the utter depravity of a court
which. on such questionable evil
dence as this, would arbitrarily
throw out a sufficient number of pre-
cincts in Denver to deprive of their
seats eleven democratic representa-
tives-elect and, with one or two ex-
ceptions, every democratic city and
county officer. besides sending to
| jail for long sentences a score or two
of men. These actions by the SUI
preme court, be it remembered, were
based solely on the testimony of EX-
pert HANNA and others, whose work
was made ridiculous as soon as the
democratic side had a chance to pre-
sent substantial evidence.
WhateveE may be said of Chair
man Griffith and the republican mem
bers of the Legislative investigating
committee, at least they have shown
less partisanship and more honor
than the supreme court. They al
lowed the seals of the ballots to be
broken, which in the nature of things
is the only honest way of deciding
such matters. The supreme court re-
fused to do this. leaving the demo
cratic defendants absolutely bereft
of a chance to defend themselves.
There is no reason to believe that
Governor Adams will not continue

Enjoyed lyon Yonson."

Not as good as "Ole Olson" was
the general verdict of those who wit
messed the performance of lyon Yon-
son" last evening at the Park opera
house. However, the performance
was very satisfactory. and the audi
ence. which was a large one, seemed
thoroughly pleased, judging by the
frequent applause.

lar in plot and selection of charac-
ters. lyon Yonson" does not differ
greatly from "ole Olson" In both
plays the Swede is practically the
whole show. David Brattstrom
takes the part of Yon Yonson. While
he was very good, in our opinion,
he is far inferior to Ben Hendricks.
who plays ole Olson in an interpre-
tation of the Swedish character.
Marguerite Fields. who played the
part of Jennie Morris. the book
agent, is an exceedingly pretty young
lady, and was decidedly the best fe-
male character in the play. Hazel
Harroun. who took the part of Roly
was very good. The other charac-
ters were not above the average.
The log jam scene in the third
act was superb. The massive stage
setting was most most attractive, and
the climax of the act, where the jam
breaks and Yon saves the girl, is
very realistic.
The violin selections played by
Yon Yonson met with the hearty ap-
proval of the audience. and Mr..
Brattstrom was forced to respond to
three encores. The lumbermen' 5
quartet was decidedly one of the best
features of the show. The voices
were fine and the numbers most
pleasing. Harry Bond, as Wendell
Phillips, the negro footman, is a
good singer. Marguerite Fields
dancing speciality was all right.
There was no yoddling or Swedish
songs and the absence of these feat
ures detracted from the play.

SCHOOL
LAW is
WEAK
Many Children In Rural Dis
trictS do not Attend
School and are Idle

State Superintendent Of Public In.
struction J. II. Ackerman believes the
law compelling school children 60 at.
tend school is not az effective as it
should be and as a consequence there
are thousands Of children In the rural
districts who arc leading idle and in.
dolent lives. In discussing the eondi.
tions Mr.. Ackerman, among other
things. says:
"what makes the law valueless Is
the fact that it does not make any
ono county or state officer responsible
for its enforcement. As a consequence
no o ne goes to the trouble Of seeing
whether children in rural communities
are In school or whether they are con.
tracting vicious habits while loafing
with 'dlo associates
"I am at work on an amendment 20
the law which I shall try TO have
passed by the next legislature, fixing
the responsibility FOR the enforcement
Of compulsory education. The number
Of children who do not attend school is
very large through the rural communi.
ties, and the influence Of idlers nulli
fios the work Of the studious.
"Idlo hands quickly become wicked
hands would not mind tho absence
Of rural children from schools % much
n they were working and were physis
cally able 10 do the work, but In a ma.
iority Of cases they are doing nothing,
and after few years Of freedom from
toll 10 will bo impossible 20 educate
thom.
"Tho rural school problem in Oregon
IL especially hard on account Of the IN
settled character Of large percentage
Of tho population.
"wo hope % establish additional
high schools soon. The five counties
possessing these higher institutions
have demonstrated the need Of them
an over Oregon.
"By holding state Institutes In all
parts Of tho state We arc trying 20 give
tho teachers a course Of instruction a,
peeially adapted for their work In coun.
try communities, and especially In the
revised courses Of instruction that have
been adopted recently.
"The financial condition Of tho
schools ia very satisfactory. Beneficial
results have followed tho passage OF
the law making II mandatory FOR the
county courts 10 levy larger taxes for
tho support Of the schools. We viii not
need any additional legislation con
eerning finances FOR several years.
