Governor Glenn said to-day. with refer
ence to the publication By Mr.. e. j..
Justice. of counsel for the State AMI
Speaker OF the House OF Repres4nta-
tives. Of the letter he wrote the Gov
erncr November Goth concerning his
(Mr. Justice's) attitude toward the
movement for tho settlement OF the
railroad litigation out OF the courts.
that he mad no objection whatever TO
the publication OF the letter by Mr..
Justice; that he agreed with aIr. jus
tice in his contention that the present
2 Ia cent rate is not contiscatory, but
that in his (the Governor's) Judgment
the terms suggested for the compro-
mise, and accepted by the Southern
and the seaboard Air Line. giving
flat rate of 9 1-2 cents, inter and
intrastate, with . cent mileage book.
was even better for the people OF the
state than the present Ia cent fiat
rate, with Interstate rates considar-
ably more than that and without the
mileage book benefits proposed.
Nothing has been heard yet from
the other railroads as to the prob
ability OF all Joining with the Southern
and the seaboard in the compromise
proposition. There is q general expec-
tation, however. that all. or at least
enough of them. Will accept to con-
strain the Governor to feel justified In
calling tho extra session OF the Legis-
lature to ratify 1t, at least SO far rs
1t applies to those roads agreeing, and
to then legislate separated. relative
to those which hold out against the
compromise. In that event the Legis-
lature would be here early in the new

SUNSET.

There's a path Of gold on the oceans
breast
When the lamp of the day swings
low,
And it leads the way to land of rest
Where the isles of coral grow.
No strife is there or sleepless care,
Or taint of a human i'll,
And it's blessed alway with a virgin
day,
And a night that is deep and still.
1t is there a soul that was pledged to
mine,
In the days that have now grown
far,
Went out to the call Of a voice divine
At the birth of the evening star.
She left me so in the afterglOw
When the blue-girt day had set,
With the old love-light in her waning
sight
And a smile that my heart knows
yet.

UTILIZE THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

The plan advocated by the regents
Of the state normal schools of train
ing school in each state high school
for the training of teachers for the
country schools is meeting with favor,
says the Salem Journal.
These high schools are we'll equip
ped for doing this work, and in some
cities are finer and larger buildings
than some of the state normal schools.
Why should they not be used?
In the Salem high school a train
ing class for teachers will be organ
lied and carried through the present
year. The city superintendent will
have personal charge of the class.
This will benefit the country schools
a great deal, because there will be a
fine class of young teachers trained
in these high schools who always start
teaching in the rural schools.
This preparatory teachers training
class in the high schools of the state
will receive the benefit of the finely
trained city superintendent who are
employed in the high schools.
The country schools need better
trained teachers. The day of the self
male teacher. the natural teacher,
ard the crammed teacher will soon be
over and the professionally equipped
teacher must take the places.
The normal school board will have
accomplished a great result If it can

WISELY PAY THEIR DEBTS,

Many prudent inland empire farm
ers have already sold off this years
crop enough to pay their debts.
While it is possible that wheat may
later bring higher price, it is also
possible that the price may fall.
The farmer who holds his wheat
takes a speculative risk. A little
speculation Of that kind is safe
enough when the farmer is out Of
debt, but IS hazardous when practiced
by one who has a large bill at the
gtore, and has, perhaps a mortgage
on part Of his land, says a Spokane
paper.
It is the part Of wisdom in these
