CONCERNING HATS.

II is the shape and color of hats,
more than the quality of the straw,
that count this year. Some of the
brownish straws are particularly smart.
Some of them are coarse in texture,
but effective. They are shaped to the
wearer's face, a thing that it is inn
possible to do with the regular blocked
hat. Some such hats form a regular
aureole around the face, and are TIED
down with seeming carelcssness under
the chin or back hair.
Others are bent In a point over the
forehead, after the fashion Of old pic
lures. and others are curied down In
odd. ways.

GERMAN COOKING SCHOOLS.


The teaching of cooking is a science
in Germany, as is everything else in
that Teutonic empire. Travelling cook
ing schools are now sent about, for the
of instructing peasants how to
cook cheaply and well. Since country
people cannot go to school, the govern
ment will send schools to them. These
travelling kitchens are now established
in Hesse, Nassau, Franconia and the
Palatinate, as we'll as in Bavaria.

"WORSE AND WORSE"

1t has been ordered by the normal
school regents that the private money
raised to maintain the various schools
until the close of the present year be
turned over to the state treasurer,
But very properly the Weston people
have informed the board they will
do nothing of the kind,
Not long ago the regents announc-
ed that if the schools We're to contln-
ue they would have to do so upon
their own responsibility In each of
the normal towns the citizens were
loyal enough to provide money with
which to keep the schools going.
Since they have given the money they
unquestionably have the right to
spend the money as they see fit.
1t is charged that the regents want
to secure the money raised by private
subscriptions so that they may use
the same to pay off a back indebted
ness. II this is true the Weston people
did exactly right in disregarding the
order made by the regents. It is not up,
to the people of Weston and vicinity
to pay bills incurred by the state of
Oregon. Let the state pay off its own

not maintain It's normal schools it is.

Oregon has been disgraced enough
over its treatment of the,

to appropriate money to pro-
vide for finishing the present schooi
year the legislature placed itself in the
position of refusing to bury its dead
Now that the private people in the

money to meet the funeral expenses"
of the schools. the regents want to-
get hold of this money so they may
pay back bills with the same. The

SLAPPED IN THE FACE.
Baker City Herald)

NBdkef Clly ileIdlu'(
In the matter of a new federal
Judge for Oregon, and the further
matter of having a term of court at
Medford and one at Pendleton Con-
gresham Ellis has hooked Baker in
the jaw with his left to use slang
expression.
Now, the congressman Is such a
versatile man it is really surprising
to think he would do such a thing.
Fulton was probably too anxious for
the judgeship to think of the men
in Baker City who fought, bled and
died a political death for him. and
that gave Ellis an opportunity to
punish Baker.
People have the opinion that Con-
gresham Ellis is a lover of peace,
rather than war. Somehow the idea
has crystalzed that the Pendleton
man prides himself on harboring no
i'll feeling toward anyone, yet in this
case ii was apparent
Perfectly natural that he should
have favored Pendleton over Baker
for he lives i'm the Umatilla county
seat. But the peculiar feature of the
affair IS that neither he nor Mr. Full

Pride may justly be found in the
New York City death-rate for 1908.
Never in the history of the city has
the ratio been so low. 1t is now 1852
per thousand, which continues the
regular decrease of the last five
years. There was decrease in the rate
of accidents. in the deaths of children
under five, and of persons over sixty
five. There was increase over the av-
erage of the last five years in three
diseases: Measles, scarlet fever and
cancer. The .diminution runs as fol-
lows: Pneumonia. 2,S23; tuberculosis
Of the lungs. 57S; typhoid fever, 1877;
malarial fever. 42; smallpox, I;

bronchitis. 1876. Ceaseless efforts tell.
The improvement of the city's sani-
tation and the spread of education
regarding the laws of hygiene are
showing results among the vast alien
population. At the same times comes
news of an increased birth-rate, the
largest in the city's history-2S.6S

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

During the next few months the
consideration of the tariff is going TO
occupy the first attention of congress
and of the whole nation. Because of
the multitude Of interests that will be
affected by any changes that are to be
made it is inevitable that business
Will be disturbed while the revision
work is on
With a view to avoiding such in
terruptions in the future there are
many public men. Of both parties,
who favor the revising of tariff
schedules oy a commission. This sys-
TEN is followed in Germany and is
said to work very successfully. Be
fore changes are made the commits
sioners investigate the subject very
carefully, hearing arguments both
for and against changes. But the
most important feature of the Ger
man system is that when changes
are agreed upon it is pro-
vided they shall not go into effect for
several years. Through this course
the interests affected by the changes
know far in advance what is going
to be done. There IS no uncertainty
about what the future rates will be
as is the case Observation-Disclosures
as is the case when the American
congress handles a tariff revision.
German merchants and manufacture
ers are enabled to prepare for the
changes and, so it is claimed, the
country never suffers a business de-
preston when new tariff schedules
are being worked out.
That It would be well for America
to adopt the tariff commission plan
seems plain. Such a course is advo-
Gated by many prominent men. No
tably among these is Senator Bever-
idge. OF course there are certain
interests that will oppose such a
change. Interests that have been
able to dictate what schedules con-
gress shall adopt naturally object to
the commission plan. They don't
want the subject thoroughly investi-
gated" They want to bamboozle the
country with a cry about protecting
the workingmen, and while they are
doing this place collars" on suffi-
cient congressman 50 as to be able t.
control the tariff changes. These
people are now claiming that the tar
iff is a political issue and is Capable
Of adjustment only by debate and
struggle on the floor Of congress"
But the tariff should nit be made q
political issue; It is an economic
problem and should be treated as
such.

for people TO reach the west from
their middle states homes, over a
thousand newcomers have already ar

have gone on to other places, il is
true. But from this heavy tide Of i'm
migration Pendleton and Umatilla

AT TUSKEGEE.

PROGRESS AT TUSKEGEE.
The Tuskegee Normal and Indus
trial Institute shows continued pro-
gress, according to the fastest report
of Booker 7. Washington. One in
dication of its work is its influence
upon its neighborhood 1t is stated
that in Marion County, Ala, where
Tuskegee is, the property owned by
colored persons has, in twenty years,
increased GOO per cent. The need of
water has caused the sinking of ar
tesian wells, and two of these supply
235,ooo gallons daily. The report de
clares that this institution is winning
the confidence of Southern. whites. 1t
declares "We have never . ssed
through year at Tuskegee in winch
we have had so many of the Rest
white people OF the South visit the
school and inspect its work" That
voluntary interest and inspection
should certainly keep the institution
on its mettle and impress its sup
porters with the knowledge that it
must be judged by its fruits. But
the report of progress IS at least ma
terially encouraging. The lessons
of thrift and industry are plainly
applicable to the colored race, with
out regard to section.-New York
