'If a bill is presented under the
initiative for the maintenance of the
Eastern Oregon normal school | be.
! lieve it will carry. I have sounded
the sentiment considerably upon this
point. Even western oregon people
speak highly favorable of the eastern
Oregon school and predict that the
people will vote to sustain it, There
is a sentiment in favor of the East
ern Oregon normal because this Sec
cational institutian. At the next ell
ection each normal school should
stand alone"
Thus declares Senator c. ]. Smith
who arrived home this morning.
Senator Smith has just returned from
attending the special session, hav-
ing been detained in Portland yester-
day by meeting of the state board
of health of which he is a member.
Regents Blamable.
That the regents of the normal
school are partly to blame for the de-
feat Of the normals is declared by
Senator Smith. According to the SEN
ator he discovered during the spec,a
session that a majority of even the
senate would have favored the nor
mails had not the regents at the start
insisted upon $15O,OOO for new build
ings as well as an appropriation for
maintenance. Objection to the ap-
nropriations for buildings was raise /.
Then the Oregonian gave support to
those who We're fighting the bill and
2 number of senators who are pros
pective republican candidates for
governor took up the fight against the
normais on the theory that it was
popular issue.
The Special Session.
At the special session but two nor
NAL school measures We're presented.
One for maintenance for two years
with provision that the people then
vote upon the schools. The other
measures was the senate's bill to
kill the normals at the close of the
present year. All normal school men
opposed this bill and did so at the
request of the normal school COM
Senator Cole again worked
ana voted with the anti-normal
school crowd.
When asked concerning Senator
Coles statement that the standard for
admission TO normal schools should
nave been raised until only high
school graduates were admitted Sem
ltor Smith declared no such propo-
'ition as that was. ever presented be-
ore the legislature.
Leave o. 4. c. Alone.
Regarding the rumored movemen |
or referring the Oregon Agricultural |
College appropriation Senator Smith |
advises the normal school people to |
efrain strictly from entering into |
my such movement. He says that in |
he main the people of the state are |
avorably disposed to the normals |
md will likely sustain them IL the |
formal people themselves act wisely.
'hould they attempt to refer the o.

use strong resentment that would

Still state Schools.
According to Senator Smith he has
onsulted the attorney general and
he normal regents as to the status of
he Eastern Oregon normal should
resent funds not he turned over to

d him that the regents will do every
hing in their power to keep the

Walla. is the plaintiff, and the Wal
la Walla Traction company and the
Northwestern Gas & Electric com.
pany are the defendants. It IS alleg-
ed in the complaint that Clark was a
conductor for the electric line and
that owing to the failure of the COM
pany to provide cars with automatic
couplings. as required by law. he
was crushed between two cars while
making the coupling.
Clark was so seriously injured that
his life was despaired of for a time
and he was permanently crippled.

dogs. seal. walrus and musk-oxen.
The second boy was then called in
and the two went over the chart to-
gether. the second boy suggesting
some changes as noted hefeafter.
Finally, Panikpah, the father. was
again called in to verify details Of the
portions of the route with which he
was personally familiar.
The bulk of the boys testimony was
not taken by Commander Peary. nor
in his presence, a fact that obviates
any possible claim that they were
awed by him.

lines from the direct narrative OF the
Milford chronicle., 1909-10-15

Eskimo boys were suggested by Com
mander Peary to some of US. and were
put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three casual
questions on minor points that had
occurred to him
During the taking of this testimony,
it developed that DR.. Cook had told
these boys. as be told Mr. Whitney
and Billy Pritohard. the cabin boy
that they must NOT tell Commander
Peary or any of US anything about
their Journey and the boys stated
Dr. Cook had threatened them if they
should tell anything.
The narrative of these Eskimos is
as follows:
They. with Dr. Cook. Francke and
nine other Eskimos. left Anoratok,
crossed Smith's Sound to Cape Sabine,
slept in Commander Peary's old house
in Payer Harbor. then went through
Rice Strait to buchanan Bay. After a
few marches Francke and three Eski

drups "Bav Fiord" on the west side
of Ellesmere Land

A WORTHY MOVEMENT.

The Y. NJ c. A. in this town al
though in operation but few weeks
has shown that it has realized the
problems with which it has to deal.
Every one knew that the rank and file
of the young boys in the town would
be directly helped but there were a
few who had doubts that the boys
whose home environment was none
of the best would be directly benefit
ed.
It is creditable that it can be said
by the authorities in charge Of the
y. M. c. A. that no boy has been turn
ed away because he had not the
money to pay the dues. That this is
true is due to the public spirit of two
or three business men of this town
who placed small fund in the hands
OF the management of the association
that it might help the boys who had
not the money to join. Added to this
is the fact that the subscriptions to
the Y. M. c. A. may be paid on the
installment plan. 1t would be unwise
to let boys go into the association
without some effort on their own part
for a reason which is self evident.
The boy would not take the same
interest in the movement unless he
paid some money into it. But it is not
true as has been said that the Y. M.
G. A. is a club for rich mems sons,
nor is it true that the Y. M. c. A. is a
rescue mission. Secretary Goodwin
announces that the work of the asso-
citation is preventative rather than a
cure.
There is scarcely better way of
spending money for charitable pur-
poses than to augment the small fund
that has been started to enable the
Y. NJ. c. A. to take care of all those
who wish to avail themselves of the
privileges. For no matter how pros
porous the organization may be on
othersides it is none the less true that
the minute the association fails to
help those who want to belong it is
q failure.

And for the most part they voted yes

the difference between the local OPP

county was a demonstration that local
option is not prohibition. as the brew
ers would have had us believe in the

The sum and substance of it Is that
the up-and-down-state papers have not
rightly judged the citizens of Wayne

when the election came off that there
was only one question, yes or no."
They voted on that proposition.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY OF
WAYNE COUNTY.

fhe Palladium carries in another
column comments on the recent cleo
ton in this county. Many of the esti-
mates of the situation are eXcusable
errors. One of the most common of
the errors was the statement that poll
tics had deciding influence on the
returns. This is the principal view of
the indianapolis Star. Those who
have been on the ground know that
the statement is untrue. Both sides
have denied 1t and the temper of the
people themselves refuted it. The con-
trary was very nearly true that every
one wanted to see the question taken
out of politics.
Another delusion of the editorial
writer's which has been fondly cher
ished is the surprise that the 'Staid
old, conservative. Quaker community,
etc. etc. should have backed up the
liquor interests. 1t need hardly be
stated that conservative and phleg
matte community is much less apt to
so into Mysteries and fanaticism than
boom town. The staid community
is much more apt to go quietly along
and sustain the conditions it has been
accustomed to or to work out the
question by thought and not by feel
ing.
Another misrepresentation seems to
have been that the business men of
Richmond openly opposed the temper
ance movement. If they did so, it was
not openly. None was so tight Tipped
as your Dizziness man no matter what
he believed. There was no parallel
to the action of the business men of
Lima, Ohio, who raised a fund of
thousands of dollars to keep the sa-
looms.
Still other papers see in it what
they fancy is a protest against county
local option legislation.
On this question it might be hard to
judge were 1t not for the fact that
that question was before the people
in the last campaign in November
when Wayne county gave one of the
few respectable republican majorities
in the state Added to this is the
fact that the vote polled here in the
last election was few hundred short
