of Mythology, Geography, and
History, and Nationalities.

The parents and school patrons of
the Longfellow school were the guests
of the teachers and pupils at special
open days program on the school lawn
today. The exercises this year are
most unique in order and the different
decorations in evidence throughout the
floral parade were very prettily ar
ranged. 1t has been the custom for
merly to hold this event in the school
building, but this years exercises on
the lawn were considered the more
appropriate.
The beautiful decorations on the
school lawn, the work of which was
carried on the present season, consist
of beds of cannas, dahlias. nasturtiums,
marigolds. salvias. and other plants,
making this one of the most attractive
school grounds in the city. The excel
lent care given them is the result of
the efforts of the teachers and pupils.
Parade is Given.
The feature of the exercises was the

Lees rooms led the floral parade with
wagons and bicycles decorated with
bunting and flowers. Miss Redecker's
pupils followed as Mother Goose char
acters; then the pupils of Miss Nevin,
the girls as sunbOnnet babies and the
boys as farmers field hands dressed in
oVerallS and straw hats. The pupils of
Miss Frederick represented rainbow
girls and boys. while Miss Fulsinger's
room appeared as harvest home char
acters. and Mrs. DeweyS as brownies
and fairies. Miss Johnson's pupils rep
resented characters from their study
of geography and history. From Mrs. |
Lundy's room. the eighth grade. the |
boys acted as aides in the procession, |
while the girls. dressed in red, white |
and blue to represent America, served |
on the lawn. Miss Bessie !

THE ANT.
Facts About One of Natures Most In
dustrious creatures.

When spring comes with all its
wealth of opening buds and new flow
ers, the ant is preparing for season
of profitable industry.
1t comes out of its winter quarters
and locates a new home where it can
store away during the summer months
the sustenance for the long winter
days.
Just as industrious as the ant-but
in d different way, are the Countless
infinitisemal germs which burrow into
the scalp and eat away at the roots of
the hair.
AS they burrow away, dandruff
forms. and if the germs are not all
killed. badness results.
Newbro's Herpicide is the only
known remedy which kills the germs.

PROMISED. IN FUTURE.

Men may argue as they will in
denial of the possibility of Amer.
ica's producing a landed aristoc-
racy in time to come, but there
is abundant promise of it, just
the same,
= The average American of the
present day has no sympathy for
the landed class of England and
other foreign countries, and the
idea that such can ever be in
our native land excites his wrath
rather than his reason. He does
not wish it to be so, hence he
assumed that it will not be.
To an observant person it is
plain that in this country certain
estates become larger and larger
year after year. Each genera
tion adds to E vast holdings
acquired by their ancestors. In
proof of this, look to the Wander
ebilts, the Astors, and others.
Notagssly do we find vast tracts
becoming still more vast, but we
notice that as bb--eEtates b4s grow
the tendency toward an aristoc:
racy becomes more and more
pronounced, More rapidly thar
we think, and more certainly
class distinction is crowding
These conditions do not come
about in a day nor a year-they
are of growth so slow anC
gradual as to be almost imper
ceptible. Because they are SLOW
in action does not signify tha
these conditions are not certain
to be an inheritance Of the future
:. Added to this tendency to create
Kast estates of entail we have
ep Harce immigration laws so la1
- hat hWdreds of thousands O.
beople Of the poorer class ar
unloaded upon our shores an
nuaily from Europe. The de
desire of these people is th'
same as that of the aristocrat
for more land. Each year see
it harder for the native born tt
secure an acre of land.
Bitter, indeed, will be the or!
of children yet unborn when the.
read the history of the presen
day and think of what nigh
have been saved for them. I'll!
a mad world we are in a mac
race we are running.

aud by instrumeEtalities similar
to those adopted by the national
government for the control of
railways engaged in interstate
commerce. 1t is plainly evident
that the efforts of tie general
government must be supplement-
ed and reinforced in and by the
several states before all the peo-
pie are relieved of present condi-
tions and accorded fair and just
treatment by the transportation
corporations.
In some of the states such et-
forts have been made, with good
results, and are making in other
states with promise of success.
What has been done in ,Oregon7
Practically nothing. II he rail-
way companies fix thei4 freight
rate as they choose. They have
quired control of largle bodies
of timber land. By the same
methods practiced in Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia ] and else
where they will as absolutely con-
troll oregon's timber And mineral
deposits as they no% do Pennsyl-
vania's coal deposits. By meth
DDS long purssded by them in
Wisconsin 80 here in Oregon
they .Sk4oid taxation and escape
theiT proper share of the public
buEdens. What will be done to
81 aemedy these things, and to make
1the practice of them impossible?
This is the question in the
thoughts of the people. 1t over
shadows all other public ques-
tons. 1t must be satisfactorily
answered. The republican party
is in control of the legislature
and must answer. What will be
the answer? We shall see. "Talk"
will not be satisfactory answer.
No more will merely tentative
legislation on theoretical lines.
Nothing short of plain, common
sense, fair, just and equitable
legislation to remove the evils
now endured and to prevent the
inhction of yet greater ones will
be satisfactory answer.
Gentlemen of the legislature,
set your thinking machinery te
work ard come to Salem next
January with the right sclutior
to these and other public questions
under your hats.

STATE MUST ACT.

However comprehensive and
efficient a railway rate bill passed
by congress may be, yet it will
fail to give relief to large class
of shippers who are most in need
OF and best entitled to it.
TO illustrate this: A Benton
county farmer has a carload of
potatoes which he wishes to ship
to Chicago. He finds that if he
had his potatoes in Portland he
could there obtain the g. ust
aud reasonable rate" fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion from Portland to Chicago
as it gives no rate from Cor
Wallis - Chicago. The best
he can obtain is the Portland
CEi>asa 'ate plus the local rate
from Corvallis to Portland. This
local 'ateis fixed by the railway
company and is usually an
"ai-,he-:raff will-bsaT" rate.
Ia.> is just The evil the inter-
STA law does not reach and re-
move. II Corvallis were an in
ternediate point between Port
lard and Chicago, our farmer
cOul3 set the commissions just
and reasonable rate, but to avail
Lir elf OF il he must first bring
his produce to the western ter
minus of the railroads engaged in
interstate traffic between Pcrt-
land and Chicago cr 70 some in
termediate point - .,>s : roads.
This Is the conoigiou which
Mr.. Bryan proposes 20 :aeet by
state ownership OF railroads, but
which is more easily and ration
ally ne. by sta'e control on lines
