BE AN AMERICAN,

II is one of the greatest weaknesses
of human nature that people will look
far and wide for things that lie close
at hand Never was this truth bet
ter illustrated than in the case of
those who are rushing pell NELL into
Canada. Like band of sheep many
people from this county have rushed
up into the frozen north and invest
ed locally earned money in cheap
land. Canadian Pacific land agents
who have been making handsome
commissions, have naturally applaud
ed their action.
But there is no earthly need for
Umatilla county man to go abroad
to make profitable investments. This
county itself offers golden opportuni-
ties. Down in the west end of this
county there are thousands of acres
of land that is going to be of almost
inesitmable value. Land that may
now be had for 800 per acre, or
trifle more, is going to be worth
$1,000 or more within five years
time. Does this sound like fairy
tale? Investigate II and you will find
It is the truth. Canadian land agents
are claiming that Alberta offers gold

paid to do such worK. But compared
with the opportunities in the irrigat-
ed districts of this county, Canadian
investments are flim-flam. The
real gold is right near you IL you but

Just now the Canadian Pacific
people are circulating literature de-

territory Oregon is a paradise. This
is q land Of milk and honey. This

NORMAL

REGENT
HOLDING FUNERAL
SESSION

The State Board OF Regents of Nor
nal Schools met at the state horse
at 1 0 O'Clock today to consider what
70 do with the normal schools that
have been abandoned by the legisla-
ture.
President Ressler, Of the Monmouth
school, which has been running for
two years without state aid. made the
following statement:
Statement From Monmouth.
In the spirit of fair play" I
should like to request hearing n
the normal school question in Ore
gon. The Portland daily papers for
years have. vlllifled these institutions
and repeatedly made charges OF graft
until there is an idea abroad that
dishonesty and incompetency are
their chief characteristics.
Now, either these charges are true
or they are untrue. II they are true,
some person conencted with the
schools are guilty and should be ex-
posed. The criminals are members
Of the legislature. regents. officers or
instructors II the charges are ua-
true, then II Is gross injustice TO
continue TO circulate and publish
them.
In any event, the disposition OF the
matter by the legislature has settled
nothing. but has resulted in the
greatest hardship to innocent par
ties. Certainly Il can be considered
no crime for instructors 10 accept en-
ployment. legally and regularly
made by the Board OF Regents. II has
never been considered mnlawful or
blameworthy for young men and wo-
men to enroll in school. which pre-
pares them to render useful service
to the state and their fellows.
We have now at Monmouth 112
students who have paid their tuition
and completed three weeks OF the
second semester. Thirty-six OF these
are In the senior class. To close
down the school at once will mean
loss OF not less than $50 each to al!

DEMOCRACY AS TAUGHT
BY CITIZENS OF GUAM.

St. Augustine Record.

President Taft is accused of making
Investigations as to tariff schedules
on his own account-it is assumed
that he will have something to say
and do for himself when congress fin
ally gets through talking. 1t was pos
sible for Colum bus to discover a new
world; why might not Mr.. Taft learn
something about the tariff if ne can
wander far enough from home? Mean
time he may give congress an object
lesson any day and this we are anX-
iously expecting In case the lesson
arrives in the night let us make some
preliminary study of one Of our de-
tendencies.
The island of Guam is little, but size
has nothing to do with doctrine. Her
people grew dissatisfied with their
peculiar tariff bill even as We did but
they wasted no time in talk after
their minds were made up. The whole
population called on Governor Dorm.
sQuatted on the porch of his palatiaI
residence and waited bit as polite
ness required. Then the buckets of
red lemonade were set out, each was
SUPPLIED with a conch shell and busi-
ness began. Tne trouble was explained
and the restiveness of the population
asserted to imply danger-sOme dark
right it was possible that the flag
might be pulled down. The governor
promised his careful attention and,
tic drinks having evaporated, the
meeting adjourned sine die.
Since he dreaded no election the
governor did not see the need of de-
lay Or deception-ne acted. This &C
ton consisted in calling three nava!
officers then at the station into con-
sultStion and. it may be assumed.
other drinks were within reach. The
bill then in sorce was gone over and
a straight reduction made all down
the lire-a government clerk applied
the rule and worked the typewriter
bit after the experts had decided on
the percentages. Next morning q
statement with the revised bill was
sent to the secretary Of the navy and
arrived in due course. The secretary

the bill, marked approved" on each

that she is a dependency. Here we
must wait weeks and months to get
a revised bill merely because We are
big and powerful-each day of the
inierminable period OF talk costing us
ten million dollars. Guam need only
collect herself on the porch, imbibe
PINK or blue lemonade and state her
case. Without money and without
pIiCe she IS, given the services of a
governor, three lads from Annapolis
and a typewriter of uncertain sex
the secretary of our navy takes the
trouble to heed, our president sus-
ponds a game or q dinner as the case
may be, and Guams bill is ready
an illustTi0Us and historic name for
the bill being pTovided-one that
beats Dingley by a length and is not
shamed by that of Mckinley.
We are supposed to expend millions
freely. in an effort to teach these
dependencies, OUT form and theory OF
government. Could not Guam teach
us something in return? Why not
send Aldrich and Cannon and BeveT-
idge and a few more to Guam anu
bring. over some real statesmen in ex-
change? Possibly the president would
approve this proposition also in the
kindness of his heart and in his anx-
iety to break up the solidarity of some
constituencies.

Jefferson Davis was born in Chris
tian, now known as Todd county,
Kentucky, on the 3rd of June, 1903;
making this the one hundred and first
anniversary Of his birth, He was the
son Of a gallant revolutionary soldier
with the finest strain of Welsh blood
flowing in his generous veins.
He began life well, had a clean boy
hood, with no tendency to vice or inn
morality. That is the testimony of
neighbors, teachers, and fellow stu
dents. His nature was as transpar-
ent as the light that shone about him;
his heart was as open as the soft
skies that bent in benediction over his
country home, and his temper as
sweet and CHEEKY as the Iimpid
stream that made music in its flow
through the neighboring fields and
forests.
At the age of sixteen he received
an appointment to West Point Mill
tary Academy, and graduated with
honor.
He spent several years in the q. S.
military service and had some con-
spicuOus part in the Black Hawk war.
In 1914 Mr.. Davis was elected to con-
gress and, up to the fall of the Con-
federate government. served his coun-
try in some distinguished capacity.
His First Speech.
In his first set speech in congress.
which had all the marks and carried
all the credentials of the profoundeSt
craftsmanship, Mr. Davis made this
broad declaration from the principle
of which he never receded: THE eX-
tent of our Union has never been to
me the cause of apprehension; its
cohesion can only be disturbed by vio-
lation of the compact which cements
it."
A vacancy having occurred by the
death Of Senator Spaight, Mr. Davis
was appointed by the governor to rep
resent Mississippi in the United
States senate. There sat Jno. c. Cal
houn, of South Carolina; Daniel Web
steT, of Massachusetts,; Henry Clay.
of Kentucky; Thomas H Benton, of
Missouri; Louis Cass. of Michigan !:
Salmon P. Chase. of Ohio; Stephen A.
Douglass. of Illinois. In that COM
pany Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi,
at once took rank among the greatest;
worthy to be the premier at any
