citizenship Ohio, in the supreme emer-
gency of the civil war, sent forth more
than 100000 soldiers for our country's
defense, a formidable array easily sur
passing in numbers the world-ccnguer-
ing legions of imperial Caesar. and
even larger than any army ever mus
tered by Britain for the tented field.
W. welcome the friendly rivalry of
candidates from other states-from
the great Empire state, the Keystone
state, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin,
forming with Ohio a broad eXpanse
extending in unbroken sweep from old
ocean to the uppermost bound of the
greatest of inland seas. Each of these
presents leader among leaders whose
achievements and renown are not con
fined to the narrow limits of single
commonwealth. To-day with fervid
earnestness we wage a contest for the
prize. Tomorrow, united for the fray
and quickened by common fiery zeal,
the champions of all the candidates
will go forth with mounting enthusi-
assn to vanuuish the foe.
The most perplexing questions of

Several hundred farmers, who left

wheat growing in the new provinces
of British Colum bla will be interested
in the following Ottawa dispatch
printed in the Oregonian recently:
"Ihe Dominion government has de-
cided TO loan sum of approximately
$4 1000 900 to the farmers of the new
provinces of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan whose crops were failure, to

With everything favorable in the
new districts mentioned, good crops of
wheat can be grown. but when the
season is unfavorable, as it was last
year, the resulting failure is so much
worse than any failure of which the

ever heard that it means government

The President has just signed n pro-
clamation creating additions in the
Trinity National Forest, California,
amounting to $50. All acres. The ad-
ditions to the forest are contiguous
tracts of timberland lying fer the
most part in Humboldt aud Trinity
counties, with smaller areas in Shasta
a d Tehama counties. This new land
brings the total area of the Trinity
Forest up TO nearly 100000 acres.
Valuable forests of yellow aud sugar
pine, incense cedar aud few stands
of redwood included in the additions
are estimated to contain more than
two aud quarter billion toaId feet
of timber. The market value of this
timber is $4,5Oo, 900. These forests
have been neglected by lumber inter
ests up TO the present time because it
was more profitable to exploit the val.
liable aud more accessible redwood
forests lying farther west.

EMPHASIZING THE THREE RS.

A movement for return to first
principles in educational methods Is
taking on significant proportions in
Chicago, where committee of the
board of education is studying pro-
posed radical changes in the curricu-
lum of the schools. The trend of af-
fairs is toward greater attention to
the "three Rs" aud in this the
Chicago authorities are following the
example recently set by Cleveland. In
the latter city an educational commits
sion devoted a year and half to
thorough Investigation of school meth
ods aud results, and then submitted a
series of recommendation relative to
elementary schools the main features
of which we're as tollows:
More effort aud time to reading; su-
pervision of writing to be increased !;
thorough and continuous training in
mental arithmetic in every grade where
the subject is taught; more time to the
essentials-readiug, writing, arithme-
tic aud spelling smaller school classes;
greater use of the dictionary by pupils;
better correlation of the physical
training work with other studies.
Adoption of policy of this nature
would mean the elimination of some
fads on whioh many parents think
time is wasted. 1t would result in
more thorough grounding of the pupils
in the essential elementary subjects
to which not enough time is now
given. 1t is gratifying sign of the
times that this movement is taking
definite shape in the larger cities, and
hope is entertained that before long it
will spread over the whole country.

In these columns recently Admiral

so6riquet Fighting Bob" Evans, and
that leads George V. Alexander, Re-

of arms be won that sobriquet? What
naval battle or otherwise did he ever
fght which enabled him to receive the
title Fighting Bob Evans? Where

letter sent out by Fred !. johnson, of
Fitchburg, Mass. His circular takes
up aud discusses the financial question
aud Nh. johnson has a live idea. He
proposes to prevent panics by the Gin
surance of the peoples money, by the
people, for the people" Mr.. johnson
says: We insure almost everything
that we possess. aud we inquire against
nearly every kind of calamity, but
strauge to say-we do not insure money.
The writer's idea is that the United
States Government should establish
such measures and such dI astic laws
as would enforce savings banks aud
trust companies to give up their pi es-
eat state charters, aud come directly
uuder the control of the National Gov
eru meut, also such laws as would hen
empower the Government to insure
the deposits of all Banks. The
amount of money on deposit iu 1906
was, in round numbers, IL billions of
dollars; anil an assessment of To- 100 Of
! per cent on that sum, would have
placed at the disposal of the Govern
ment, in that year, l8 millions of dol
lars; with which to pay off, immedia-
tely, the depositors of any ihsolvent
hanks, the Government then liquidat-
