COMPLIMENTS WESTON.

The citizens of Weston, Or, are to
be congratulated upon the splendid
effort they have made to raise the
10000 required for the maintenance
of the eastern Oregon normal school,
located in their town. State aid
having been cut off, it devolved upon
the people themselves TO provide the
necessary amount or see the school
closed.
According to a report just received
from Weston they have subscribed
$1,000 and have secured $4,000 more
from Pendleton. 1t is expected that
little trouble will be experienced in
raising the additional $1,000.
1t would have been most unfortu-
nate, not only for Weston, but for the
cause of education, had circumstan-
ces compelled the closing of the
schools on account of technically
which deprived that institution from
participation this year in the state
fund.
1t is expected that the next legis-
lature in Oregon will make a suffic-
lent appropriation to reimburse those
who are now giving money for the
support of the school, besides allowing
funds for continuing the institution
indefinitely.-Spo Review.

WILLIAMSoN's CHANCE.

Political prejudice is like the Afri-
can turtle. After it once closes its
jaws upon an object which it desires
to attack, the only way to loose the
jaws is to cut the head off
This is Wiliamson's chance of es-
cape.
As long as there is life in the tur-
tie of political prejudice in Oregon.
juries will hang on and on, and until
the very head of this prejudice is cut
off there will be life and tenacity in
the closed jaws.
Williamson is already convicted in
the mind of the public, which has
read the testimony and paid heed to
the two trials. No matter if a hun
dred juries hang in trying succeeding
case, it will never replace him upon
his political pedestal.
But the more trials that occur the
deeper will political sentiment be
stirred and the more difficult will 1t
be to secure a jury free from William
son favoritsm. He has staunch
friends in every county and no amount
of sitting and quibbling over qualifi-
cations will bar out the secret senti-
ment that would close its Jaws for
Williamson until doomsday before it
would let loose. Legally, he is not
convicted and pehraps will not be.
Morally he is thrice convicted and
needs no further sentence to be put
down and out forever in the eyes of
the people.
1t is unfortunate. The East Ore
gonian does not gloat over such
things, but it cannot avoid pointing
to the lesson it bears, for the benefit
of others who are to serve the great
state in future.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

There is no evidence that members
of congress, either senators or repre-
sentatives, are particularly pleased
that an extra session will be called for
November IL. They are pleased that
the date Is in November instead of in
October, as first reported, but they
would prefer to stay away until the
constitutional date. Congressman do
not like the idea of a president regu-
larly subtractlng from the time they
have to devote to their private busi-
ness. 1t is likely that the convening
Of congress before the regular time
is to become more and more a matter
Of course. With our system of COM
mittee rather than ministerial prepar-
alton of legislation, with inevitable
slowness, and with a senate which
considers the lapse of time necessary
to the enactment of good laws, there
Is not time for congress to do its
business In regular session unless ad-
journment is delayed to such time as
Washington becomes very hot and
almost intolerable. Presidents, as
they contemplate. the country's needs,

A STATE HIGHWAY.

Coxey's dream was a national boule-
ward stretching across mountain,
stream and desert from the Pacific to
the Atlantic coast, 100 feet wide,
smooth and level. bordered by forest
trees and marked by wayside wells
and watering places at convenient
distances. This was to be built by
the government, for the purpose of
employing idle labor of the country,
thus abOlishing the tramp evil.
1t was to be made a national high
way for wagon, automobile, horse and
foot travel, thus bringing the two
coasts within easy reach of each
other and making travel a pleasure.
1t was to be maintained by the gov
ernment, the wages to be paid to he
enough to support laborers in dull
times, and all states through which It
passed were expected to assist in fore
Ing tramps to work by passing strln-
gent vagrancy laws.
The idea Of a state highway from
Portland south to the California line
Is an imitation of the dream Of Coxey,
but it is on a smaller scale and is
practical because it can be built by
convict labor within reasonable cost
and would place the two states in a
stones throw Of each other.
1t would be the beginning Of net
work of great boulevards uniting the
settlements of the Northwest in one
common neighborhood. It would be
much more profitable to the people
of Oregon to have the convicts ell
gagged in some public improvement o.
this kind, rather than to have them
EARNED" out at a nominal rental to
the rich corporations which have
reaped a harvest from Oregon convict
labor for years past
Automobile and bicycle travel,
travel by team and horseback. would
thus be stimulated in the country dis
tricts, and such a boulevard stretching
from Portland to San Francisco would
be one Of the most delightful possess
sions Of the states Of Oregon and
California.
Since 1t would pass through the
fertile and rain-blessed willamette
valley It could be made beautiful by
borders of shrubs. forests and flow
ers and It would be a national attrac-
ton.
It is a subject worthy of the con-
sideratlon of the legislature and 1t Is
hoped that the governors commits
sion gives 1t the thought 1t deserves.

And his dropped head sinks gradu-

And through his side the last drops.
ebbing slow
From the red cash, fall heavy. one

Like the first of a thunder shower;
The arena swims around hm-he
is gone,
Ere ceased the inhuman shout
which hailed the wretch who
won.
He heard it, but he needed not-his
eyes
Were with his heart, and that was
far away;
He rocked not of the life he lost, nor
prize,
But where his rude hut by the Dan
ube lay
There were his young barbarians all
at play;
There was their Dacian mother
he their sire,
Butchered to make Roman holiday:
All this rushed with his blood
Shall he expire
And unavenged ?--Arisei ye Goths.
and glut your ire!

The only thing he ever did do to
