"THE BONNIE BRlAR BUSH"
To be Given at the Opera House
Next Thursday Night.

One of the most welcome
pieces of news that our theatre
goers have heard in many a day
is the engagement of The Bon
ME Briar Bush" at the opera
house next Thursday night. The
play is so familiar to the public
through the book and its four
years of stage life, that any ex-
tended comment is unnecessary.
In direct play :1pon the SYM
pathies, IN wit so quick and
straight that it may be called
genuine humor, in general ap-
peal and nicely of literary quail
ity, "The Bonnie Rriar Bush"
is one of the most notable achiev-
ments of the American stage.
The acting company is promised
to be of exceptional strength,
and includes many notable play
ers, together with the original
LaShelle production.
Owing to the heavy expense
Of bringing this company here,
the prices are necessarily higher
than usual. They are 50, Is,
and $500. Seats now selling.

this. The matter of choosing
your delegate will of course ! e

you may make the selection by
any plan you think best. You
will doubtless remember the sug-
gestion in our first letter about
this plan, which was that everv
society in the union be allowed a
number of votes tor the deleeate
to correspond with the number
of subscriptions they had given
in the list, but perhaps it will
seem best to make the choice in
this case in some other way. We
have not decided yet how the

quite probable that we will for
ward a check TO cover the cost of
same. That can, however, be
arranged later.

Another View.

The Oregon Legislature has
been generous in its treatment
of the Agricultural College.
This institution has now an in
come which will enable it to
greatly extend its educational
work in agricultu raj lines and to
carry on much more experiment
tai work than heretofore.
There has been decided
change of public sentiment in
the state within a few years in
the direction of making agricul-
tural education the main work If
the Agricultural college. 1t is
to be hoped that the Board of
Regents will recognize this fact
in selecting man to succeed
President Catch. The man who
is at the head of the State Agri-
cultural Collage should be man
who was educated in an agricul-
tural college, and whose life
work has been that of a teacher
in some branch of agriculture.
Men of this kind are to be found
who have the other qualifications
required tor the head of a co..

NORMAL scAooL QUESTION.
To Be Decided by Peoples Vote
in June 1908.

ne secretary OF STATE mas tuln-
ed down the January and Fe5ru-
ary accounts Of the Monmouth
Normal and also those o! the
Drain institution. The reason
understood is because no funds
happened to be on hand at the
time for the teachers salaries as
the running expenses of the Nor
NAL are certain until the close of
the present year at least.
Arrangements are in progress
to have the school continue after
the close of the present term and
every present indication is that
they will be successful, says the
Independence Westside. The
state board of regents will have
something to say when it comes
to reappointment of teachers but
it is believed that the state board
will take a reasonable view of
the matter and reappoint all
teachers and permit the school
to continue if the authorities are
able to devise means for their
salaries.
The original terms for the es-
tablishment of the Monmouth in
stitution are said to be in the
nature of a contract to thu effect
that the, school was to be main
tanned as a state normal at Mon
mouth. With this understanding
the title was placed with the
state. No legislation tor the
abolisnment of it as a state school
has been passed and it remains
Just as much Of state normal as
ever yet finds itself without funds
to continue AS such. These
funds doubtless will be forth
coming in some manner and the
state expected at the future ses-
sion of the Legislature to pay the
obligations necessarily incurred
in the running of the school.
The attendance of the school is
keeping up and no fear is ex-
pressed by the students or the
teachers as to the continuance of
the school during the next two
years. 1t is understood that pro-
vision is to be made to continue
the maintenance of the Mon
mouth school until the session OF
the next legislature when it is
hoped that body will take some
action in legislative way which
will not meet with the govern
or's disapproval.
Whatever action is taken by
the board of regents in regard to
the Monmouth Normal it has
been determined to submit the
entire normal school question to
tho vote of the people in June
1898 through the initiative. Th e
proposed bill submitted to the
people will contain the names of
all the normal schools and the
votes will be cast upon each sep
arately. 1t appears now to be
the only solution of the normal
school problem in this state as
conditions are now. The legis-
lature has neglected to eliminate
two schools as seems to be at this
time the popular sentiment and
the governor has vetoed the ap.
priations for two schools. OF
course the schools cut out are moi
satisfied and will take advantage
!of what appears to be the only
alternative and that is to submit
the entire question TO the people
for a deci sion.

DESERVE BETTER PAY.
Some People Who need to Form
Trust.

Ii any class OF business men
ever had good reason for the for
nation of trust with a view of
advancing prices. the Press oi
this country presents that justi6-
cation at this time, declares an
exchange.
On account of the repeated ad-
vance in the price OF paper, ink,
labor, ETC., with no correspond
ing increase in the prices of
newspapers, advertising and job
printing, it is not necessary to
say that newspaper men find that
they are not getting the compen-
sation for their labors that they
are entitled to. In some sense
the newspaper men are to blame
for this when they cut prices to
such an extent there is not living
wages in work or underb,d
another on legal advertising and
print these legal notic's for next
to nothing. This is a real curse
to the newspaper business. We
know from actual experience,
however, that no business or pro-
fessional man works harder, the
year round, than a newspaper
man, and it is no bed of roses to
run even a country newspaper
with so many conflicting inter-
ests, factions and opinions to be
met with. People expect news
paper men to stand tor some
principle or policy, and ID that
respect a newspaper can't help
making friends and enemies at
the same time. Not so with bust
ness men, who use a good deal
of policy not to offend any one
in running their business.
Adopt the same rule in run
ming newspape: and it would
not be long before people would
be saying, and saying correctly,
that the editor had 40 backbone
and was afraid to say anything.
A few lines of criticism in a
newspaper will gain tor the edi-
tor plaudits from numerous per-
sons, but at the same time it is
more than likely 10 make other
persons fighting mad, and
another criticism on something is
liable to cause a vice versa senti.
ment, tor it depends upon whose
OK is being gored. We coincide
with the Regis er that for the
amount of work they perform the
newspaper men are not paid as
much as they should be, but the
only way to remedy this is to
raise the price of the newspapers,
the advertising and the job print
ing.
Whether the newspaper men
will be forced to do this remains
to be seen, but all must admit
that newspaper men are doing
more to boom Oregon than any
other agency or business or pro-
fessional men, yet in every coun-
ty there are hundreds of persons
who never subscribe for home
newspaper as long as they can
borrow a newspaper and read the
news gratis. No wonder that
newspaper men think they are
not getting a square deal with
every thing on the jump about
them.
