Measure Proposes One School

TO REDUCE APPROPRIATION
Cuts Sum from Half Million to Hun
drcd Thousand--Norma School
Lobby Epeeted to Make Des-
perate Fight on Bill.

SALEM, Ore Feb. 2.--The mos
carefully laid plan TO raid the State
treasury comes from the norma
schools They have become such al
Issue, these normal school appropria
tIons. that they have taken a politica
aspect OF no mean proportions.
Tho normal school raiders have je
veloped such strength OF recent year
that they are able 10 affect the organ
lzation Of House and Senate and th'
makeup OF the education and wayi
and means committee. They are re-
sponsibe for lobby Of large and ac'
tive proportions. they have engenderet
bitterness between members. have de-
feated bills with no bearing on tht
school question, have influenced sena'
torial fights and have even gone lowr
into district and primary fights,
AS n matter Of fact, the normals are
not recognized as state institutions
although there is a general impression
that they are. In locating normaI
schools and supplying them with state
aid, no consideration was taken OF
their geographical position. The
schools were given aid In exchange for
a few votes in senatorial fights in years
gone by
while the House has had its pre-
liminary sklrmish on the normal ques-
tion. the Senate has postponed 1t un-
I'll the latter part of next week. In
the meantime, however, there Is a
lobby laying wires with the skill born
Of long experience.
The normal outlook has simmered
down to two schools, one for Eastern
Oregon and the other for western or
Southern oregon. The Senate ways
and means committee has been in
structci to make appropriations for
but two institutions Of this character,
Consequently two schools will be
dropped. The question is, which two.
Perhaps the key to the situation is
Senator NJ. a. Millor's bill, which Is
now in committee. This bill provides
for two schools, one at Ashland and
the other at Weston, eliminating Mon
mouth and Drain. 1t provides for one
board of regents, appointed by the
governor. The graduates under the
Miller bill must teach at least two
years, and travelling expenses are al
lowed students.
In round numbers the normal schools
ask $500,000 The Miller bill cuts the
sum to 100000. The committee is now
an amendment to Senator
Miller's bill This is that the gov
ernor appoint three people who shall
receive bids from such towns as want
the normal schools, taking into con-
sideration the location, sanitary con-
ditlons and other important matters.
This board would decide by July l.
Inquiry among the senators indi-
Gates that the Miller bill, with the
amendment has a good
chance of winning, for 1t will receive
the support of the Eastern oregon
delegation and Southern Oregon, as
well as of certain of the Multnomah
crowd.

SHE DID NOT UNDERSTAND

The Matthews Coey Rumbaugh case
offers the suggestion, all too frequently
found throughout the land, of the frail-
ty-a charitable construction of the
trait-of humanity. An unscrupulous
woman and two weak men tell the tale
for, after all conjecture as to the my
stery surrounding the tragic ending of
the pretty young woman at Colorado
Springs, all the facts and circun-
stances point to this one conclusion.
And her ending was but the natural re
suit of one of her type who had led
such II life as she.
For we have not patience with that
sentiment which finds heroism in the
cravenness of self destruction, whether
cumstances as led Laura Matthews to
send a bullet crashing through her
brain to escape the natural penalty of
her own bad deeds. There may be a
sort of moral bravery that instigates a
man to end his life under circum-
stances that appeal to his sense of
honor or chivalry; but to escape some
physical penalty threatening him be-
cause of his own misconduct, never.
Laura Matthews was no worse than
thousands of others, as the world goes; &;
but she was n greater coward. And it
was this very cowardcc, not honor, not
chivalry, that impelled the action that
destroyed her young life. Having WOW
en- about her life such tangled web of
deceit that she found it no longer pos
sible to carry on her intrigue with her
male dupes, and fearing the penalty of
detection, she chose the natural alter
native of such craven characters.
Such may be taken as about the true
analysis of Laura Matthews charac-
ter. Her ending is by no means an un-
common one for those who live such
lives. But what of the two men in the
caseg Perhaps both loved her, but as
between the two, we have more conf

WHAT THE RECORDS TELL

A review of the hotel registers Of
Glenwood Springs for the past few
years reveals most interesting sto-y
of the growth of Glenwood as a popu.
lar resort for tourists. Indeed, it is
seldom that cold facts tell n more in
teresting tale, and one of greater i'm
portance to the people of a city. Glen.
wood has cause for self graduation.
Whereas, few years ago, the list of
our visitors consisted in the main of
those favored few among the lists of
experienced northern tourists, whose
extensive travels had led them here
through wide comparison with other re-
sorts, and whose coming was the nat
ural result of this comparison, because
of the superior inducements and ad-
vantages afforded them here, the
hotels today are becoming filed with
another class of tourists as we'll This
latter class belong to that great army
of people who toll and labor for eight
or ten months in the year and spend
the remainder of their time at some
favored spot for rest and recuperation.
They come from the north, the south,
the east and the west. Their coming
means to them an event in importance
second to none in their lives. 1t is the
elimination of their years energy, the
consummation of their hopes and ambi-
tions. They are not exclusive, and
while they do not spend so much money
as the other class, they do more, per
haps, to advertise the place; they bring
others here.
Noteworthy, too, is the fact of the
large increase in the number of south
erners who come to the city now. In
ferner years, these people made Den

THE REDNEss OF WINE


The other day young man, in the
prime of his manhood, was picked up
beside the railway tracks near this city
suffering from a badly fractured skull,
the result of an accident while beating
his way on the train. He was intoxi-
Gated. He was brought to the sanitar-
ium in an unconscious condition, and
may never regain his senses. sufficiently
to tell how it happened, for the at
tending physicians give no hope Of his
recovery. Yesterday another man,
otherwise strong and healthy and at an
age when he should be in the best en-
ioyment of his mental and physical ex-
istence, was taken to the sanitarium
suffering with foot that had been
crushed between the bumpers of a
freight train while beating his way
over the road. He, too, was intoxi-
Gated, and even the fearful experience
through which he passed failed to So
ber him. On the afternoon of the same
day, a ragged, uncouth and unkempt
Young man staggered against the screen
door of a public business house of this
city and was promptly met at the door
way by one of the proprietors, who in
formed the tramp that he was not
wanted on the premises, and was head
ed in an opposite direction. 1t was an
other case of intoxication.
And so m infnitum.
In the meantime, perhaps three
broken hearted mothers are grieving
their hearts over the dissolute lives of
three Young men whose careers have
turned into channels of degradation and
shame. Into the life of each has come
the humiliation that accompanies the
knowledge that the hopes of a lifetime
have been blasted in the blood
of her own blood and the flesh of her
own flesh. And what of these young
men themselves? Where the once gold
en- hued tints of childhood s optimistic
homes and ambitions? Where once the
tinted rainbow of promise led to the
golden goal of ambition, stands only
the rusty hoop of beer keg.
We have only sympathy for these un-
fortunates, but words are inadequate to
express our condemnation of their
habits. As in many another instance
wherein men and women give way to
the gild and glitter of some passing
temptation, they have succumbed to the
desires of moment, only to find them
selves in the invdious clutches of an
} octopus, perhaps unable to extricate
themselves now.
And every drop of the red wine
which they imbibe is drained from the
veins of innocence and virtue and man
hood.

"They have not either courage
or intelligence to fight the world

ignoble end of their ambition they

Marie please explain what end of his
ambition, ignoble or otherwise, man has
been attaining in late years as against
woman? Why, the poor fellow has been
gradually backing away since the first
school marin got a job, and today has
scarcely an inch to stand on. Another
push and he will be out of the running
entirely, forced to fight for his very ex-
istence and sue for livelihood.
Miss Working Girl has the center of
the track, the high gear on and doesn It

What good is it doing him to be run

does not appear to be helping the poor

THE TAYLOR CASE

over Ill lHt littiN WY
sprung into the lmelight of publicity
n case purporting to be of such an
atrocious nature that the very detals
of is horrible foundation cannot be ex-
posed to public spirit. A man accused
of the murder of his girl-wife purposes
to use as his defense, to prove that the
woman committed suicide, an alleged
ane-mortem statement over the wo-
mans signature, containing accusations
that are almost beyond the pale Of be
lief, so horrible in their nature as to
arouse loathing beyond the ability OF
expression. Adding to the horror OF
this alleged confession of the woman is
the fact that it is the awful arraign-
men of her own mother, who she de
clares instigated-f would be a
better word-her downfall. letter
said to have been written by Mrs. John
l.. Taylor to the Aspen Times, was read
at the preliminary hearing of her hus-
band, who has been accused of her mur-
der, declaring that her mother sold her
into practical concubinage at the age
of eleven years. While the full next of
the communication was of such foul
nature in its accusations that Taylor s
attorney would not read all of it, it is
said to contain charges against other
women of that place, now married and
considered highly respectable, that
show a state of society that reflects
credit upon the daughters of Lot, and
one is loath to believe that human
being possessed of sane mind could
conceive of such an arraignment. The
fact that the husband has been arrested
charged with her murder, and that the
prosecution claims the communication
is forgery or was forced, leaves some
doubt as to the charges contained in
it: but there is said to be a strong feel
ing in Aspen that the man is innocent
of the crime charged against him, and
that the woman made the statement of
her own free will and accord, having
brooded over her shame until she de
termined to end her own miserable exis-
tence.
The central idea here is that the
GIRLS own mother is made the principal
in the terrible arraignment of this
statement. If true it unfolds moral
degeneracy that has few parallels in
the criminal annals of the world, and
overshadows in horrifying details all
the facts of the Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
case, and makes of the unnatural
mother thing so loathsome that her
daughter s crime stands out in compari-
son as halo of sanity glory.
If the charges contained in this wo-
mans alleged statement be true, the
court that tries John L. Taylor for the
alleged murder of his young wife, owes
a duty to society far greater than the
merely trial of John L. Taylor for muir
der. That duty extends to the uncov-
ering of the slime that lies beneath the
surface of things and the purgation of
the social filth alleged. We are oppos-
ed to uncalled- for sensationalism, but
there come times when the truth should
be exposed, and none should be spared
because he or she happens to belong to
4 family of social or commercial prom
inence. Let the light on.
