father Hiram Smith, was one Of In
diana's pioneers. Pie sent his son to
the public schools and later to Asbury
college, now called De PauY universi-
ty. From it in later years Major
Smith received the honorary degree
Of Ii. d. He was not quite nineteen
when the civil war broke out. but he
enlisted at once in the Union army
and served until the end of the war,
being in the armies Of the Potomac,
Ohio and Cumberland and rising to
the rank Of major in the Sixth Indiana
cavalry. His war record was gal
liant one and included some stirring
episodes. At one time he was wound
ed and taken prisoner. After contine-
ment in Confederate prison at Au-
gusta, Ga. he was exchanged and re-
Joined his regiment.
After the war Major Smith engaged
for time in cotton planting in Mis-
sissippi, but the call to WELD his tai
ents in the field of journalism proved
Il compelling one. and his career in the
newspaper world was begun as editor
of the Terre Haute Qnd) Mail. He
subsequently acquired the Terre Haute
Express, but removed it to Chicago,
continuing its publication as the Chi
cago Express. 1t was in 1882 that he
established the American Press AS
sociation, and during the rest of his
life he remained its president and gen.
eral manager, giving 1t his active inter-
est and thoughtful care. Although this
association constitutes a notable monu-
ment to Major Smith, it is quite possi-
BILE that in years to come he will be
best remembered as philosophic
| thinker and as the author of works
bearing upon human character and
destiny Among these are "A Short
View of Great Questions, "The Com
ing Democracy" "Eternalism," BAL

of nature, as was shown in the sur

Alderman Opnoses Plan.

Salem-Believing that the rural
schools are most urgently in need of
attention and strengthening at the
present time, Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction j. H. Ackerman has
declined to aid in promoting legislaS
ton having for it's purpose establish
ment of system of inspection and
uniform examinations in High
Schools.
There are two movements on foot
for the creation of the Office of High
School Inspector. One plan is that
the High School Inspector shall be
appointed by the State University
and shall bring the High Schools of
the state to such standard of work
as shall harmonize with the work of
the University. The other plan Is
that the inspector shall be appointed
by the State Board Of Education and
shall bring the High Schools to such
a standard as the board may deem
best for the students.

War Claim Is Allowed.

Salem - Attorney-General Craw-
ford has received a dispatch from
Washington saying that the United
States court of claims has allowed
the state of Oregon $4,000 on ac-
count of Civil War claims arising out
of expenditures made by this state in
raising and maintaining volunteer
troops. Out of this sum $4,000 will
be paid to Washington lawyers who
assisted in the case, and the remain
der will be paid into the irreducible
common school fund.
The principal items In the claim
which has been allowed by the gov
ernment were those for bounties and
for extra pay for the enlisted men.
In order to get men to enlist 1t was
found necessary to pay bounties and
bonds were issued for this purpose,
which were afterward paid by the
state.
