MARLATTE REPLIES
TO CRITICISM

Hep'yihg to an article rublisbed
IN the Albany Herald last Saturday
entitled "Dissati7faction in u,a,
school League" in which fau,t Wa.
round with the management Of tba
oregon High School Debating Ieagra
rrofessor e. T. Marlatte. it's presl.
ueht, and principal of the salem
nlgh school, made the followins
statement for The Capital Journal:
AS president of the Oregon state
DEBATING league. / wish to saw that
at the annual meeting OF the execn.
tive committee all weak points in the
league constitution will be carefully
loobed after. hereby invite all
olssatisfed schools to be present al
that time (July 26-7-S) at the statr
Ieachers association in Eugene
Until such time. however. II is hard
iy worth while worrying about
trivial matters.
lSigned) "E. T. MARLATTE"
The article, which occupies col.
ann and half in the most conspicu-
Gus part of the first page, reads in
part, az follows:'
Unless radical changes. are made
In the rules governing the high school
debating league of Oregon. a rupture
and dissolution Of the league is said
to be the ultimate prospect. Local
high school students who are inter-
ested In the debating league and who
have the interests Of the league al
heart assert that under the present
management OF the state university
AT Eugene. the league now only in
Its beginning, will prove a failure
uness some changes are made tend
Ing to remove the many sources of
dissatisfaction now existing.
Among the causes assigned locally
for complaint is that the questions
selected for debate cannot be en-
ployed by all the schools. Under
the present arrangement whenever
any two schools in the league debate,
the students who are chosen to dis
cuss the question prepare for the
contest, and then when the debate
Is over the victorious side must again
get TO work and study another ques-
tion TO debate with some other school
In the league. Because OF the varied
questions chosen for debate the de-
baters, IL is asserted, are forced TO
give up far too great n portion OF
their time toward preparing their
subjects and as a natural consequence
the school work is relegated to the
rear. and the debaters are forced 70
work far in excess OF their strength
II they wonld keep up their grades
in their school work and do proper
justice TO themselves and their school
In the debates.
Methods OF preparation for the de.
bates are also a subject for com.
plant. With the present system
which Is asserted 20 be very lax, the
various schools in the league have
4 wide divergence as 20 the way the
debates are prepared and given. The
results so far of the debates have
resulted in the smaller schools carry
ng on the honors.
The dissatisfaction with the meth
DDS OF selecting judges for the de-
,ates is also becoming prominent.
As IL now stands each school chooses
'ne Judge then a third Judge is Sc
ected jointly. II is claimed that
his method is very inequable 10 both
ides of debate as each school en-
Ieavors apparently 70 choose a judge
avorable TO IL. and thus endless COM
'laint ensues when the debate is |
'yer.

FAMIL Y REUNION
AT 0. R0CHLEAU'S

On account of the serious illness of
0. Rocheleau the past four weeks ten
of his family-of fifteen children came
home to see their father. On Sum-
day they were all together and had a
delightful time visiting. Mr.. Roch-
eleau has been a resident of this part
of Wisconsin for ffty-one years and
followed farming most of this time.
He has been married twice and raised
afamily of fifteen children and they
are all grown to man and womanhood.
The following members of the family
were here the past week:
Mrs Fannie Holden. of Merrill:
Odelion Rocheleau. Frank and Bissil
Rocheleau, of Iron River: Mrs. G..
Charmley, of Biron: Mrs. Elmire At
wood. Alphonson Rochelean, Fond du
Lac: Floyd, Margaret and Leland
Rocheleau, all reside at home with
their father.
Mr. Rocheleau has recovered suffic-
iently to be about and was in the city
Monday the first time in four weeks.
He is very proud of his large family
and he has reason TO. A parent,
who can look upon a family of fifteen
children, all we'll brought up to wo-
manhood and manhood has every
reason to be proud. He is truly rich
indeed and has more to be proud of
than great riches.

An Island of MasSacres.

Hayi, the West Indian island to
which public attention has just recent
ly been directed, has been the scene
Of more massacres than any other
place on earth.
They began with the coming of Co
lumbus and the rabble rout that fol
lowed him. In a few years its 3,000
900 of gentle, brown-skinned inhabi
tants had persisted utterly, exter
minated by fire and sword and by
forced labor in~the mines.
Next the buccaneers seized the I'M
happy island and wreaked vengeance
On the Spaniards. Presently came the
French, and for a brief space there
was some semblance of peace. But in
1893 the negroes revolted and muir.
dered practically all the whites
On account of these atrocities
frightful reprisals took place when
France, in due course, reconquered the
island. But the negroes bided their
time, and presently rose again under a
ruffian named Dessalimes. This time
they did the thing thoroughly. Not
only were all the Europeans put to
death, but all having any admixture
of white blood in their veins suffered
like fate. In all it is computed that
100000 men, women and children
have met with violent deaths on this
island of massacres since the inrtudine
white man first set foot on it's palm.

UNCLE IKE AND
THE big ONES

Uncle Ike was out Tuesday with an
interview" in which he attempts to
justify his desertion Of LaFollette to
help the senators of the System force
through the senate the currency
measure which was demanded by the
money lords. AS ''literary cuss.'
Uncle Ike is not a success, and if he
retains any of his old-time shrewd-
ness he will leave that part of the
game to somebody else, or else buy a
better blue pencil Senator LaFol-
lette in his speech in the senate, said:
"Blind indeed he is who does not
see what the time portends. He who
would remain in public service must
serve the public, not the system. He
must serve his country, not special
interests.
Il BELIEVE THIS BILL WILL
STRENGTHEN THE POWER
THAT GROWS EVERY DAY A
GREATER MENACE TO THE IN
DUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL
LIBERTY OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE. | believe this bill will
strengthen the very element that is
undermining the commercial banking
of the country"
Now comes Uncle Ike, while calling
LaFollette an ultra radical confirm
ing what he said-it was a big meas
ure that all the financial interests
wanted. If all the big fellows wanted
it, there would be no question that
they could depend upon Uncle Ike to
help them. just as they could depend
upon him to come to their assistance
when they wanted something else. If
you give the Few all the money, will
not they furnish employment to the
many? But here are Uncle Ike's own
words:
"It was A BIG MEASURE and the
president. THE BANKERS, THE
LEADING FINANCIAL AND
BUSINESS MEN OF THE COUN-
TRY ALL REALIZED THAT
FACT"
If Uncle Ike wished to be fair. he
would have added that all the legiti-
mate financial interests, bankers as
well as others, opposed the measure
because it was fraud, and to this day
declare it a legislative monstrosity-

day. Despite the fact that the
weather was not very favorable for an
outing, occasional showers being the
order of the day, a goodly number
were in attendance.
The members of this congregation
evince great loyalty to their church
and pastor, not only in the regularity
of their attendance but in their will
ingness and liberality to meet every
financial need of the church tending
towards its up building and improve
ment.
Last spring the grounds surround
ing the church property, which were
unsightly and covered with all sorts
of rubbish were nicely graded and
laid out in walks and driyeways, and
a number of shade trees planted.
The necessary labor required for
this pleasing transformation was will
ingly done by the various members of
the congregation, several giving their
entire time and others their spare
moments to the work.
The grounds are now in a very pre-
sentable shape and have increased in
value as well as enhanced that of ad-
joining property.
At present a number of interio r
alterations and improvements are in

TRUE STORY WITH A MORAL.
They Are Not Scarce, But This One
is Well Worth Learning.

There are thousands and thousands

OF them are known to be prevaricators,

body OF men, l am going to relate
curious circumstance. and while |
know that | shall not be believed l yet
feel it my duty to give the story to my
fellow men On account of the moral
connected with ii"
Everybody put on a grave face and
prepared to listen, and after clearing
his throat the Bostonian continued:
Five years ago l was eating dinner
at a Chicago restaurant. Just as rose
up put a $40 gold piece in my mouth
to hand to the waiter At that minute
a drummer for a New York leather
house came up and slapped me on the
back and I swallowed the gold. 1 con-
suited a physician and he said nothing
could be done. In fact, he advised me
not to do anything, as it would turn
me into sort of gold-cure in case
ever took to drink"
There were winks and mods and
knowing looks. but the relator had
truth on his side and there wasn't a
tremor in his voice as he went on:
Last week l was in New York.

Just as the situation dawned on me

as before. That $40 gold piece flew
from my mouth and struck the wall

But the moral to it?" was asked.
Yes, it is the moral Gentlemen,

BICYCLE BUSINESS
CONSTANTLY GROWING

About twelve years ago Eugene
Miller and Harry Rablin went in the
bicycle business in small way. Then
the business was not large enough so
Harry Rablin sold out and went west.
Eugene Miller has continued in the
business and now carries a large stock
of wheels and supplies on :hand. His
brother Samuel is employed with him
all the time and often times they are
way behind in the work that piles in
on them, They have established a
reputation for doing excellent work
at reasonable prices. Both of the
boys are good workmen and take good
care of their customers. We are
pleased to note the success they are
meeting with.
