LATE ALLIANCE NEWS

| Alliance. Aug. 25.-F. j. Gaskill, re.
tired, who resided at No. 700 South
Union avenue. died at his home Sat
urday evening after a long illness due
to cancer. He was seventy-six years
OF age and had resided In Alliance a
number OF years, coming here from a
farm some four miles west OF the city.
A wife survives. The funeral services
win be held at the residence Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Lieut.. John T. Alexander OF the city
police, has returned from his annual
vacation OF two weeks spent at White
Lake, Michigan. He was accompani-
ed by his son.
The records OF the city police show
that 73s arrests have been made since
January 1st. 1907.
City Engineer Gyger has Just locat.
ed satisfactory route for the pro-
posed sewer line TO be built and used
as an outlet from the present sewage
disposal plant. The idea - the outlet
is TO carry the excess sewage which
can not be treated at the plant to n
point far enough below the city TO pre-
vent the Mahoning river water from
becoming contaminated and the odor
becoming obnoxious to residents of
that part OF the city. A new and much
larger disposal plant is to be built
soon and the proposed outlet line will
be used as q trunk line 10 the new
plant which will be more modern
and constructed with filter beds in
stead of using the lime precipitation
method.
0fiicer John Fawcett arrested two
men Sunday afternoon for bathing.
In the Mahoning river near the city's
water supply source. They will be
given Il hearing Monday evening. The
river is very low at present and as
the big pump at the Water Works is
out OF commission undergoing repairs,
the water pressure at present is very |
low. The new boilers at the pumping |
station will be put into service soon.
The members Of Company X, Eighth |
Infantry, o. N. c., arrived IN the city |
Sunday evening at 1870 o'clock from
the annual encampment at Port Clin- |

BACK INTO SCHOOL.

- within q few days now the nations
Youth WIN be back in school again
The one consuming ambition OF rich
- and-poor.. high and low is to get Tor
49, their children educational advantages
better than they themselves ever had
10 get educated with us is the CHIEF
end of man. And yet with the desir'
ability so generally agreed upon,
there Is a wide divergence of opinion
as 10 what is best in education or
where 1t can be had.
.--s-- ,--------
'--' Not every boy and girl who comes
out OF school after years OF costly
.--.time,eonsuming devotion to learning
--sis ,educated. In spite of the large
amount OF effort and resource devoted
to schools and in them, there are Few
.-..men. or women either, who haven't
learned much more and better outside
:. IMAM IN school. Few are they who do
not realize that their schooling period
was too congested, that their mental
training was crowded upon them too
fast TO be assimilated and hence the
most OF II was lost.
Most people who think anything
about school are aware, too, that al
most as many bad mental habits as
good are picked up in this hurried in
teryal Of preparation for the serious
work Of life.
Ronwing wlil all these facts, and
seeing plainly, too, that the course OF
nearly all Of the educated Is away
from those callings most in demand
by the community which contributes
SO much 10 educate them, the country
yet goes on In a sort Of blind fatal
ism sacrificing the time and health, II
not the character of It's youth TO i'm
practical, II not unattainable, IDEAS
OF education.
The school is not properly the
place to do much that is expected Of
II. People cannot thus put their chill |
dren out TO be relieved of that care
and guidance which nature imposes
on them.
A child can no more cram enough
mental pabulum into his mind to last
through life in a few limited, growing
years than he can do as much with
his food, His training should parallel
his productive activities. The first
and most important thing he should
learn is what II costs in money and
pains to maintain him and then to
contribute something toward the cost
of his maintenance by doing work
that is useful.
This Is what he must learn TO do
anyway before he rightly fits into the
world And most Of us know that
this getting fitted is always the most
educatiye process that can be eneoun-
tered. But to siye this sort of main
ing our schools must be recast and re-
constructed, work so vast that II is
time We were beginning on II.

NULLIFICA TON,

submitted to the initiative vote of
the electors next June, whereby
it is proposed to make Statement
No. 1 mandatory upon members
of the legislature. The effect of
this is int ended to be that, to
whatever party member of the
legislature may adhere, he must
vote for the man already selected
for United States Senator by the
electors voting at the last gener-
al election. He is to have no
I more power of choice and cleo
ton than you now have for the
formal ratification of our selec-
ton and choice for our governor
of Oregon. This means and in
tends the people shall choose and
elect United States Senators as
freely, certainly and directly as
they now choose and elect the
governor of the state. 1t means
much more. 1t means that the
people of a state may nullify a
plain mandate Of the constitution
of the United States.
The first article of this instru-
ment provides that the legisla-
lures of the several states shall
elect U. S. senators. 1t also
provides that vacancies occurr-
ing in the senatorial representa-
ton of state shall be filled per-
manently only by thelegislature.
Then-see the sixth article-the
federal constitution and laws of
congress are the supreme law of
the land regardless of state con-
stitutions and state laws.
No one will argue for a mo-
menti that such an enactment as
as this is not unconstitutional.
Each member of the legislature
swears to support the constitu-
ton of the United States. Does
this oath mean anything? If it
does it means the legislator must
observe it rather than a pre-elec-
ton pledge. 1t is improbable
any conscientious man will violate
his solemn oath.
The trainers of the constitu-
ton, for good and sufficient rea-
sons, placed the choice of u. S.
senators in the state legislatures.
1t does not appear these reasons
are less cogent now than when
the Constitution was framed.
But even if they have no present
or possible future existence the
constitution yet remains the su-
preme law. If it is desirable to
change it so the people may elect
U. S. senators by direct vote as
they now elect their governor
the change should be made, must
be made, indeed, as provided for
by the constitution itself. Any
other Methods essentially revolu-
tionary and a menace to all con-
stitutional government.
! 1t is probable if a proposition
! to amend the federal constitution
were before the people it would
meet little or no opposition, but
we are 10th to believe that Ore
gonians can be persuaded to defy
and set at naught any of its pro-
visions.
Statement No. 1, if accepted
at all, should not be construed SO
as to pledge any candidate for
legislator to support any
other than the nominee of his
own party for election to the U.
S. Senate. To require men of any
political party to aid in electing
man of wholly differing and
opposing political principles to
the U. S. Senate where for six
years he may oppose all things
political they hold most dear is
to require what few honest,
sincere and intelligent men of
any party can concede..

SPEEDIT ALONG,

these, whether they are high or
low, noble or ignoble so will be
his character and. the plane or
his life. LAS ye think so ye
are -
Man is naturally an idealist.
We might go farther and say he
is forced to be an idealist because
he sees no rational grounds for
believing many things real ex-
cept ideas and their relations.
Fortunately, however, though he
begin with ideals, ideas and
inquire into their relations, it is
this inquiry which puts him in
possession of things real and
rational. It seems to be para
doxical that men acquire ration
al knowledge of, and belief in
things through an agency which
denies there is rational ground to
believe any thing true except its
own intangible, unreal, fanciful,
idealistic self. But men do find
the real through pursuit of the
ideal.
For ages thoughtful, observant
men have recognized the in
fuence of idealism on human
life and have striven to elevate
men by imbuing them with high
ideals and with a determined
purpose to prove their ideals
true. The successful teacher,
whether teaching in the school
room, from the pulpit or through
the press is he who strives to
inculcate high ideals. He is a
workman who needeth not to be
ashamed.
Such is the perversity Of hu-
man nature that men will choose
to entertain low, debasing ideals.
There can be little question that
this explains much and by far
the greater part, of the social
life and the civic corruption
whichare ourreproach and shame.
Men and women have turned
away from lofty ideals. Right
and rational ideals concerning
love and marriage never made a
record in a divorce court. Right
ideals of patriotism, of honor, of
justice, of honesty, OF fidelity to
trust never made a man a brihe
giver, a bribe taker, a corruption
ist, a perjured thief. Only when
men follow low, mean unworthy
d@Nosing ideals may these
epithets be written after their
names.
We r. luire no more convinc-
ing evidence of the low ideals
held by large numbers of our
people than the character of the
books they read. This is espec
ial-y shown in the kind of fc-
ton sought by the mass of read
ers Oh fiction. 1t is the sort hat
not only panders to depraved ap-
petites, but by presenting
things in false colors and rela-
tions it constantly presents false
ideals Ind eXerts a pernicious
and debasing influence, often
greater than the reader is aware
Of or is willing to acknowledge.
American fi:tion, very largely,
has long been poisoned with
German materialisn1 and French
infidelity and realism. 1t has
reveled in filth and nastiness
and crime so skilfully CLOSED
over with a cunning, subtle and
false philosophy of life and liv-
ing mat IS persuades it's readers
tat black is white, vice is vir-
ture, relig:o. is frenzy and staid
morality shrieking comedy.
Strangest of all. The most
debasing of this stuff is the pro-
duct of women. 1t shows that
when woman. who is naturally
high iaealist, once lowers her
standa J she drops lower than
the average man would dare.
