The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-03-10

LONDON, March o.-Thc inner
history OF what is known as The
Oregon Question which brought
America and England to the verge OF
war in the 40s Of the last century Is
about TO be given to the, public.
Professor Joseph Schaefer, OF the
University Of Oregon Is now in Lon
don gathering material. He has al
ready had access to the correspond
ence ON the subject in the archives
OF the state department at Washing
ton and the America embassy at Lon
don and now Is going over the papers
in the Colonial and foreign Offices. 1t
is expected that many points will be
cleared up especially the question
which Lord Aberdeen after insisting
that the Columbia River must be the
boundary line. changed his views and
drafted treaty admitting the con-
tcntion OF the Americans that the 49th
parallel be the proper line. Schaefer
Is inclined to believe that the influx
OF Americans who outnumbered the
British influenced the foreign minis
ter in conceding the American claims
in opposition to the Hudson Bay
Company which urged that Great
Britain should not surrender a foot
Of territory.

TRANSFORMS, said 4 resident of
Oakland the other day, as he completed
reading the screed published in the
Journal concerning the editor of THE
REPUBLICAN, never proved an asser-
ton TO be a fact The Journal evident
ly was laboring under one when it at
tempted to create the impression that
THE REPUBLICAN, editor was ever
candidate for public Office. So far as
the Oakland postoffice appointment was
concerned ! believe that Sincell can live
without it; nor did he seem greatly dis
appointed when his friend Peddicord
secured the plum.' The gentlemen
using the above language expressed our
sentiments exactly, so il the journal
can get any satisfaction from the
thought that we are greatly put out
along the post office line it is welcome
to it.

We DO not understand why our refer
ence to the application of Mr.. James D.
Hamill, of the Journal, for appointment
as member of, the School Board for
Garrett county, stirred up such a hor-
nets nest, unless it be that gentleman's
past record as member of the Board.
He was brilliant public servant. I'm
der his administration schools in the
county enjoyed a term extending over
seventeen days, which is truly record
to be proud of, isn't it? He is proud of
it, we know, SO he need not 'fess up.
unless his spirits are so exuberent that
he positively has to. Then he had ex-
pended, as public official, great
amount of money for a system of heat
ing and ventilation in the public school
building in Oakland The stacks for
the heaters required a large per centage
OF the space within the building which
could have been utilized 10 better adj
vantage by providing seats the scholars,
but it wasn't needed that year, was it.
when he gave the children seventeen
days schooling. The heater and venti-
lator was farce from the start, was it
not? 1t failed to do the work for
which it was intended, anyway, and
was torn out at great expense and an
other system installed. These things,
we presume, Hare tender memories in
the great eX-School Commissioner
mind and he does not like to be disturb
ed in contemplating them or having any
reference made to his record as past,
or future member of the School Board.

the state, but the prohibitive discrimina..
lion came from the United States, it is
argued. The first had not been secured
by the Constitution, but the last had.
The constitutional provisions as to the
specific qualifications of suffrage, it is
held, are valid and in no wise forbidden
by the Constitution or federal laws.
Surprise has been expressed that the
Maryland Election Law passed during
the extra session has never found its
way in entirety to the Supreme Court
The reasons for lack of action lie in the
desire expressed by the Republican
members who so valiantly fought
against the passage of the law, and who
in protest signed at the close Of the
session said:
This is a fight TO the finish before
the people of Maryland for manhood
and manhood suffrage. We believe the
people can meet the issue and wisely
solve it without aid from any outside
source. and are, therefore, opposed to
any federal interference.
Although the Acknowledgement of
citizens is in violation of the COnstitu-
ton of our state, and comes within the
provisions of the Fourteenth Amend
ment of the Constitution Of the United
States, we favor leaving the entire
question to the people of Maryland, and
pledge our efforts to that end
AS matter of record it may be stat
ed that the State Court of Appeals has
never passed upon the validity of the
Election Law. fact dwelt upon by At
torney General Bryan in the campaign
when he was the Democratic candidate
for the position which he occupied.
The registration features of the act
haye been contested before the United
States Supreme Court and the state
court, and in each case have been up
held.
The Wilson law would seem to offer a
greater opportunity because of its direct
imposition of an education qualification
on the voters than the election law en-
acted during the recent session of the
legislature.

THE BOY PROBLEn.

Superintendent Dyer, of the
Cincinnati. Ohio, public schools,
in the course of an address at the
CONNIE ncement exercises of the
Columbus high school said:
THE boy of generation ago
had to cut the wood, to-day we turn
on the gas: he used to drive the
COW, to-day we reach out and get
the milk bottle from the back
porch; he used to run to the gro
Gerry, now the grocer's wagon stops
at the door The boy has nothing
to do and roams the street. 1t is
the business of our educational
methods to supply physical train
ing in the elementary grades and
to instruct the boy in the arts of
mind and hand
Commenting on the above the
Columbus Journal says:
This is faithful and sugges-
tive picture. There was a great
deal of misunderstanding in the
"chores" that the farmer boys had
to attend to. Chopping kindling,
carrying in coal, driving the COW
to pasture, spading the garden,
mailing a board on the stable, feed
ing the chickens-all had their
educational advantages, Just as
definite and far reaching as the
studies in school. They taught
him reliability, judgment, respon-
sibility, the habit of doing some
thing useful-all greater matters
in boys education than ability
to analyze an adverbial element or
explain why you invert the divisor.

form is like a big placer; and it is
full of good nuggets, which are
worth the trouble of finding. One
of them is easily found, for it is
the concluding paragraph. setting
forth the difference between the
two parties. The trend of Democ-
racy is toward socialism, while the
Republicans stand for individual
ism. Socialism would destroy
wealth; Republicans would prevent
abuses made possible by wealth
Ultimately, Democracy would have
the nation own the people. Repub-
licanism would have the people
own the nation. There could hard
ly be more fundamental differ
ence. Those loose thinkers who
say that the parties believe about
alike in these days will do well to
look at this platform with some
care, and then compare it with the
platform the Democrats make next
week-or rather, the one they en-
dorse, for we presume it has been
written for some time past.

two or three short speeches on
political and non political subjects,
and no more. In 1888, he was in
the white house, and made no
campaign addresses whatever, yet,
even then, his defeat was signalized
by a popular vote in excess of his
opponents. In the campaign of
1892, Mr.. Cleveland spoke only a
very few times, but his victory at
the polls was tremendous. He had
strong newspaper support, to be
sure. and the best of oratorical as

If there has developed during
the past two years single reason
why anyone who voted the Repub-
lican ticset then should not vote it
now it would be interesting to know
what it is. The party platform
laid out an extensive job for the
lawmakers. They arose to the oc-
casion and fulfilled the promises of
the party. The Republican off
cials at the capitol and in the coun-
ties and cities of the state are max
ing good. The state is prosperous
and if any excuse ever existed for
anyone voting the Democratic
ticket in this state it has now been
