OREGON'S BLIGHT.

The progress of a state depends
largely upon the attitude Of its news
papers. To a far greater extent than
the average man realizes the press di-
reefs the course Of public opinion. \
state that has a progressive, untram-
meled press will inevitably go for
ward; but the state that has a press
that s narrow or is controlled by
selfish interests, is cursed.
Oregon's greatest foe at this time,
and it has been the same for many
years past. is the Portland Orego-
Mon. The dog IN the manger" pol
icy and the sour balled pessimism Of
that sheet has done much to thwart
the progress of this state. The libels
perpetrated by the Oregonian largely
caused the death Of the states normal
school system. Its subserviency to
the railroad interests has helped Har-
riman keep oregon bottled up and
shelved away like a jar of preserves
for future use. Now that the state
is trying TO help itself the Oregonian
Is doing its utmost to block its efforts.
It has always done so. 1t opposed
appropriations for portage roads and
II fought the creation of the railroad
commission. When skies were blue
and there was nothing at issue it has
stood up for oregon. But whenever
the lines Of battle are drawn the Ore
gonian never fails to line up as
henchman for Hartman.
There is something wrong with
Oregon. This state is not going for
ward as it should. 1t is not holding
its own against it's sister states of the
west. The best Of patriots must ad-
nit this If they are informed. At
least one Of the reasons for this is
that one Of the oldest and largest pa
pers in the state takes an attitude that
makes its very existence blight up
on the state.

MUSIC.

\ SUGGESTION.

Vow that the normal schools have
been left wi;bou, funds and will have
{, be dead during the next two years
If not forever. how will normal in
ztru--iou be provided? How is east
ern oregon going to arrange for COM
petent teachers? OF these it neeis
many hundreds. Umatilla county
alone employs 2Oo or more in its
numerous schools.
Perhaps the people Of Weston will
themselves raise money with which
10 keep the Weston normal going. If
they do the question will be solved.
But if they are unable to do so, here
is a suggestion.
Let the Pendleton public school
beard or the trustees of the Pendle-
ten academy arrange for normal
course either in the high school or in
the academy. such course could
not take the place Of normal school,
i. is true. But it could serve as a
substitute and as such could be Of
great value to this county and to
eastern oregon.
While me subject of the normal
schools was before the legislature the
East Oregonian fought hard in their
behalf. It is sorry they were slain
II believes that Pendleton should not
seek 10 profit at the direct expense Of
another town within this county ana
that Portland should not try to build
itself Up by killing off the rest Of the
state
But it is doubtful if the people Of
Weston can maintain their normal
school. The expense would be
heavy burden for them to bear alone.
This being the case it would be very
fitting for Pendleton to come to the
rescue by establishing normal
course in one Of the institutions Of
this city. In fact it will be up to
Pendleton 10 do something Of this
kind if the Weston normal is not con-
tlnued. This town is the business and
educational center Of this part Of
oregon. Being such it mas response
bilities 10 meet.
At the Weston normal nearly 200
students are now enrolled. Of these
81 are Juniors and would have COM
posed next years graduating class
had the school been continued. These
students should be cared for. They
should not be forced to lose the three
years work they have already taken.
They should be allowed to graduate
and they should not have to 90 out
side the state 10 do So
Cannot Pendleton go to the res
cue?

ADVICE OF those IN charge.
In every part OF Switzerland are
established "relief in kind" stations
for the exclusive use of respectable
unemployed. only these are admitted
who have had regular work during
the previous three months and have
been out of employment for at least
five days. These men must be on
the lookout for work ana accept any
situation that Is offered, because the
chronic loafer is soon detected by the
police and his papers are marked so
that he can never again seek refuge
