SCARLET FEVER
IS EPIDEMIC AT
FAIR HARVARD

Cambridge, Mass, April 13.-Eigh'
teen cases of scarlet fever have brok'
en- out at Harvard and the officlalnn
en- out at Harvard and the afflicted
students have been hastily removed to
the hospital. Every precaution is be-
ing taken to prevent the further
spread of the disease, but as scores
Of undergraduates are daily coming
down with sore throats the authori-
ties are much alarmed at the situa-
ton
Sore throats are the immediate
cause for several being sent to the
hospital, while others thus afflicted
have been shipped of to their homes,
not to return till after the spring re-
cess, which comes next week.
The near approach Of this vacation
is believed to be the most help In
warding OF the epidemic. The entire
college has been exposed to the fever
and the dormitories are being thor
oughly fumlgated, especially Weld
hall, in which four cases developed.
Trainer Donovan is exerting every
precaution 10 see that none OF the
athletes are attacked, but some are re-
ported sick with sore throats.

A ROAST
Is Handed Out to the
School System of
Ohio
IN MINORITY REPORT

Columbus, April 13-Ohio's man.
agement OF its school system was un-
mercifully scored in report given
TO the assembly Monday afternoon by
Senators Beatty and Lamb, the min
ority of the committee appointed to
investigate charges made by Senator
Neck.
They insist the book companies
have dominated boards of education,
superintendents and teachers, and that
members Of boards have been disgrace
ed, the public conscience corrupted and
parents Of school children impover-
ished by text book corporations.
To carry out general scheme of
plunder, they say, there have been
frequent changes In books, which have
been an oppression on the poor.
The minority insist politics is ram
pant In the schools. This condition,
they Hnd, has existed for years, and
dissenslons detrimental to the gener-
al good have resulted.
II has been found that certificates
have been granted In open violation
OF all rules and regulations. Friend
ships and favoritism have been strong
factors In the granting OF certificates
10 teachers who have failed to pass
tests II will be reported.
II is claimed that examiners have
received large sums for institute work,
but It is not charged that this EN-
ployment was given members solely
because they were examiners The
report says, however, that the de-
mand for lecturers services ended
generally as soon as he ceased to be
q member of the state board
The charge of immortality against 3.
p. Humphrey. OF Ironton, is not sus-
tanned.
The report recommends that the
present state board Of examiners be
abolished and that in its stead a state
board OF education be established.
A uniform text book system and a
statute making II criminal for any
state or county examiner. superintend-
end or teacher to be interested in
the sale of books is urged.

west young farmers-those who are
not afraid of work and who have ac-
qured frugal habits-can easily pur-
chase farms of their own and in a
few years become absolutely inde-
pendent-sometNi ing that only a small
percentage of city people can ever
become. According to statistics. 65
per cent of those working on farms
own their own farms. a percentage
not approached by any other voca-
tion under the sun. Naturally the
glamor of the city attracts many from
the farms. But If the parents of farm
boys and girls would give the young
folks a working interest in the busi-
ness of the farm, very few of them
would have much desire to move into
the towns where thousands are ac-
tually on the verge of starvation. The
farm still offers the only really in
dependent livelihood AS great
jurist once remarked: Civilization
begins and ends with the plow."

WHY WHEAT IS HIGH.

Though eastern Oregon farmers
have not harvested their usual crops
this year they are more fortunate
than those in other portions Of the
world. The crops in other parts OF
the globe are also poor and American
growers are now receiving high
prices for wheat because Of that fact.
The present is a most favorable
opportunity for American mills to
assert themselves. granting that crops
this season are secured in good con.
dition," says NJ. II. Davis. special
agent for the United States at Liver
pool Continuing. Mr.. Davis Offers
the following upon the situation:
The English crop, never an import
ant item, is certainly not promising
az excessive yield II is more than
likely to yield several million BUSH
els less than last year. In France
the prospect seems to be for consld-

WATERWAYS VS.. RAILROADS.

The owners Of railroads are almos:
invariably opposed to the opening OF
rivers to navigation, according to the
oregon Daily Journal.
Canals and rivers are public prop
erty; railroads are private property.
Freight can be transported more
cheaply by river or canal than by
railroad, hence it Is quite natural
for the railroads to oppose the water
routes. Just as clearly is 1t for the
peoples interest to open up water
ways wherever they can. When these
compete with railroads, the latter
must reduce rates to the water rates.
Back on the Atlantic coast the
railroads have for many years en-
deavored to prevent the building of
new canals, and the improvement OF
old ones. The New York World says
OdldlS can DTllB cOdl anu "Hp"t W
New York cheaper than railroads. So
the railroads, while the people slept,
for years steadily used their vast po-
litical power against canals. Some
canals they bought; some they caus-
ed to be abandoned; some they left
to neglect. II New York is to have
cheap coal the canals must be re-
opened and new ones added--not the
great barge canal alone, but smaller
feeders down score OF river valleys.
The Illegal coal trust aud the ex-
tinction of the Independent retailer
are matters for federal action. Better
than railing at "malefactors Of great
wealth" would It be If few Of them
were stopped forever.

New York $3.50 ton more than 1t

FARMER BOYS.

The world over, boys raised on the
farm have made good, says the Rural
Spirit, and there is much truth in
the assertion.
Some Of the greatest lawyers and
physicians have been, born and raised
on the farm. Recently the officers
OF the navy discovered that the best
sailors are the corn fed" boys from
the forks of the creek. From early
childhood the boy in the country,
rich or poor, is required to do some
kind Of manual work. He keeps reg
ular hours, has wholesome food to
eat and breathes fresh, pure air. All
these things combine TO give him a
sound and healthy mind. Still, the
best place for the country bred boy
Is in the country. He Is in the long
run Of more value to himself and to
his country than in town or in the
army or navy. In the west and south

should. This is a tax exacted main
ly from the poor, without warrant OF
law or color of justice. by greedy
wealth. Some day it will occur to
some public official to enforce the
law and make possible the square
deal" in coal Some day the people
of New York will improve their own
great water highways.
Just what has occurred and the
consequence as to coal in New York
has occurred or will occur through
out the country with respect to any
commodity. Open rivers and canals
WI give the people cheaper trans
portation rates, leave more money in
their pockets, make them richer,
freer. more Independent.

erable less than last year. Australia's s
crop, a light one, is practically ex-
hausted, so far as exports are con,
cerned. However good the coming
crop may prove to be it will not be
harvested till December and can not
be available for English milling be.
fore May of next year. The Indian
crop, another stronghold of the Brit
ish miller, is largely a failure, since
the great Punjab district, from which
the exports have always come, has
but 60 per cent of a crop. The latest
reports of India's harvest last March
do not promise either low prices non
abundant quantity. Thus to a great
er extent than usual the British miller
has been anxiously looking to the
American Pacific states to meet his
needs There, too, appears a partial
failure, as it is estimated that the
quantity for export will be $4,000, 900
bushels less than last harvest Rus
sia, too, is decidedly deficient, par.
ticularly in soft wheat grades that
would be needed to make up for the
lack of usual supplies from the other
sources named The Argentine ship
ments are growing so light as to ex-
cite comment, and her new crop will
not be matured until late in Decem-
ber nor can it reach the mills before
March or April next. 1t will thus be
seen that the exceptional advantages
enjoyed by British mills for securing
az low figures the various wheats they
need for blending are not now in
prospect as they have been for the
-hree years past. Relatively their
position as to price, qualities and
quantities OF wheat Is nothing like
so strong as heretofore.
