\ MISGUIDED MOVE.

"a Lane county grange that de-
nounces the Ashland referendum
against the agricultural college,
thinks an increase of only 100000
too small sustenance for an institu-
ton that is struggling with the task
of educating 14O0 Oregon young men
and women" says the Journal "The
sentiment voiced is that of the entire
state. and would seem to make the
Ashland experiment one of doubtful
expediency."
Certainly the o. A. c. referendum
should be dropped 1t should never
have been started There is not the
slightest reason in the world for
holding up the appropriation made
for the agricultural college. Incl
dentally it might be remarked that II
Ashland people hope to have their
normal school sustained under the
initiative they had better cease their
attack upon o. A. c. That school was
not responsible for the mistreatment
of the normals.

WHITE "RHINOS."

Among the rare equatorial animals
of which former President Roosevelt
and his son, Kermit, who is to accom-
pany him across the plains and for
ests of eastern and central Africa, eX-
pect to get specimens is the so-called
white" rhineroceros~ This creature
is not really white. It is a sort of
yellowish gray, not much lighter in
color than the common rhinoceros.
1t is taller however and has a larger.
squarer snout.
The white rhinoceros feeds more
extensively upon vegetables than does
its commoner relative. One of its
horns is dwarfed, a fact that has CIV
en- rise at different times to stories
of a "one-horned species of rhino."
Its skin is covered with many small,
warty tubercles, and altogether its
appearance is scarcely beautiful. It's
keen scent and rapid gait make IT
extremely difficult to approach. The
species is rapidly disappearing. In
1890 it had practically vanished from
East Africa, except for a small re-
serve in Zululand. where a number
of specimens still haunted.-Select-

1t was announced at the agency
yesterday that hereafter most of the
Indians upon the reservation will be
given free rein in the handling of
their financial affairs. 1t is a step
that has long been desired by the In
dians. Acting in behalf of their
tribesmen, Chief Umapine and other
leaders have long sought to have the
Indians given their money. Now that
the ruling has been made at the in
stance of Agent McFatridge the In
dians should be highly pleased.
How well the Indians will bear
their increased responsibility remains
to be seen. But the step taken by the
government seems a very proper one.
it is entirely consistent with the gov
ernment's general policy toward the
Indians. The government wants to
make the Indian self dependent
alone. He will never grow strong II
coddled and pampered like an in,
fant.
There are many who have long
thought that the government makes
a mistake through treating the In
dams too leniently. They have been
given the rights Of citizenship, fur
nished with practically a livelihood;
given free schools, free police protec-
ton, roads, etc For these benefits
the Indian does not give proper re-
compensation. He enjoys the bene-
fits Of civilization without paying the
price Is it any wonder he has be-
come a weakling.
If the government wants to make
a white man out Of the Indian then
he should be required to bear the
white mans burden. The Indian
should have to work for his living.
II he has land he should pay taxes;
help build roads and bridges; main
tain schools and provide police pro-
lection. BY doing these things he
will soon come to appreciate the ad-
vantages Of civilization.
OF course it is inevitable that a
great many Indians will fail in the
test. But no one should be surpris
ed. They are not white men and |
cannot become such. They are but
one generation removed from barbar-
ism while back Of the white man lies
centuries Of civilized life. But some
Of the Indians will make good The
others Uncle Sam should gather into
some sheltering fold so that the pro-
cess Of their elimination will not be
TOO severe.

THE ROUND FACED WOMAN.

A cruel scientist has been saying
horrid things about the round-faced
woman. He says she is more prone
than the rest of her sex to deceit,
that she is false, tickle and, when
the round faced woman will resent
more than all else, that she is stupid.
He AYERS that when the round face
is surrounded by frame of curling
hair its owner is more than ever i'm
possible, because to all her faults she
adds capriciousness. He warns all
young men against making round fac
ed girls their wives.
For intellect for loyalty, for stead
fastness Of character he recommends
that person, scorned by beauty low
er, the hatchet faced woman.
An artist Of repute whose specially
is the drawing of women's faces, ia
vors the square-faced woman. Not
that her face should be literally
square, but that it follows those lines
rather than a circle or oval.
The Greeks had such faces, and
their characters had strength as well
as beauty.
Besides, the round-faced woman Is
more apt to be deceitful than Is the
square faced one. Her tendency is
to move along the lines Of least re-
sistance, and If that line happens to
be a lie-well, she lies.
A keen student Of human nature,
and one who thoroughly understands
women, expresses her views in the
following manner:
The round faced woman is better
natured No one will deny that, But
her face must have planes, or she
will be insipid. A man wants an
amiable wife, but he doesn't want to
be bored. To be a true companion
woman must have intelligence and
character. Both are indicated by the
lines, not by curves-Selected

WAR ON THE HoUSEFLY.

When science knew less about the
housefly than it knows now we were
told that all creatures had their bene-
fetal use, and therefore even that
pest must have been provided by ma
ture to serve in some occult way the
needs of man and the glory of God.
But in the brighter sunlight of the
20th century science has learned bet
ter. and everywhere the appeal is
heard TO make way on this wholesale
dissemination of disease and death. At
Philadelphia the following warning
was sent through the press;
The housefly the dirty fly, the ty-
phold and cholera infantum fly. will
soon swarm in thousands or millions
unless precautions are taken. The
housefly, which we We're taught in
our childhood to treat with kindness,
has been exposed. Its habits are
filthy, II breeds in stables and gar
bage pals and carries the filth it
revels in and tracks it across the
sugar, the butter and the beefsteak.
1t paddles its feet. gummed with
the vial roofing matter, in baby's
milk. II probably disseminates every
disease. 1t must be exterminated It
can be driven out of every city. In an
age of knowledge, screens and cheap
disinfectants there is no excuse for
flies in any household. Clean up your
premises and report to the health de-
partment your neighbor who does not.
Get rid of breeding places of flies
and you will get rid of the fly.
So put up your screens and clean
UP everything that could serve as
breeding spot and leave no food
where the fly may alight. If We do
these things We shall certainly derive
greater comfort and We may be saw
ing lives,-Spokesman Review

American, j. H. Hale, the Connec-
ticut peach king" says that if he
were to begin life over again he
would make a speciality of apples
instead of peaches. AS it is, ne is
planting hundreds of acres of
rough Connecticut hill-tops in APP
pie orchards. 1t is his ambition to
grow apples that sell at five cents
apiece, and he says that anybody
who goes. at it right can make as
much money at apple growing and
raise better apples in New England
than they do in Missouri, Colora-
do or Oregon. He believes that
New England soil and climate
would naturally produce an apple
of finer flavor and coloring than
can be grown in the west.
The apple orchards of Grand Isle
county and some in other sections
of the state already bring in good
returns, but there is a great OPP
portunity for development along
this line. Almost every farm has
a small orchard, but as a rule the
apple treesreceive scant atten-
ton. If the same care were be-
slowed upon the orchard that is
given to the field crops, then the
growing of apples would be prof
liable.
The young trees must be watch
ed for borers at the roots. They
must be sprayed to protect them
from vermin and to prevent inn
perfect fruit. Care must be taken
in selecting suitable varieties. In
many instances a large number of
early varieties are secured. A
ready market for the fruit is not
found and it rots beneath the trees
When business methods are en-
ployed in raising and marketing
apples the crop is a profitable one
The subject of apple growing is
one that deserves more careful
attention it has ever received in
this state.

Mortified News
The newspaper publishers of
| Vermont cannot truthfully be said
| to be the most enthusiastic and
well pleased body of manufac-
turers in the state over the atti-
tude of Senator'S Page and Dill
! lingham in the matter of tariff on
print paper, or pulp wood which
enters into the making of print
paper to SO large degree. Wheth-
er or not Senator'S Page and Dill
| lingham will have the united and
earnest support of the publishers
of Vermont when the time comes
for their reelection depends very
largely upon thesquality and eff
fectiveness of the dope" admin
istrated to them by the suave
esman.-Rutland News.
Senators Dillingham; and Page
voted for a reduction of SO per
cent. on the paper tariff and ev-
cry unprejudiced publisher must
admit that this was a reasonable
reduction as compared with other
revisions downward. Publishers
could not, and as a class, did not
expect favoritism. The paper in
dustry needs reasonable protection
and it is for the interests of New
England that it should have it.
There has been a lot of unmiti-
gated foolishness on this particu-
lar subject, melted largely by the
metropolitan penny papers, with
padded newsstand calculations.
Vermont's senators will not lose
the confidence of their constit-
uents, through their conservative
action on the paper tariff; but a
few newspapers will hardly in
crease their influence by follow
ing up a selfish demand in tariff
revision.
montpelier JournaD
Lying in the New England "pie
belt" in a region where the APP
pie pie reaches its greatest perfec-
ton, Vermont ought to be the CEN
ter of the American apple indus
try. There are thousands of acres
of rocky hillsides in the state that
now are practically useless that
will raise the finest apples in the
world. Al statement is going the
rounds of the newspapers to the
effect that apple orchards in the
states of Washington and Oregon
are selling for 5000 an acre. That
would be good news to tell about
Vermont. 1t it is possible to make
land on the Pacific coast so val
liable, why is it impossible in Yer
mont? The Ohio Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station, in a bulletin re-
Gently issued, says that John A.
Stokes, of Fremont, last year sold
1 $50 barrels for approximately ST.
400. His net returns from the crop
exceeded $500 or nearly $500 per
acre. This gratifying yield was
obtained by intelligent and scien-
tific treatment of the trees. The
orchard contained 534 trees, rang
ing from twelve to twenty-four
years in age. At the right time
they were sprayed and were care
fully looked after in other ways.
The wormy apples were less than
one per cent. for one of the three
four-acre orchards, and two per
cent for the second.

Probably this may not appear al

it is serious, il is seriously asked
and it is well worth a serious

Once upon a time young preach
er went to an old preacher and
told him he found difficulty in
making his congregation under

What is the trouble ?" asked
the elder man.
WELL" said the young man, Il

derstand exactly what | mean. But
somehow l don't seem to be able
to make my meaning clear to 9TH
my boy,- said the old man,
don't be offended at what l say
of you, but a man thinks as he
speaks and speaks as he thinks
when he is trying to convey an
idea. The fact that your congre-
cation doesn't grasp your sermon
shows that your thinking is what
might be called sloppy"
And he was absolutely right.
How many writer's and speakers
give YOU a clear cut, precise i'm
preston of their idea9 How many
times have you heard a man say,
"Wel, perhaps that doesn't ex-
actly express IL, but-er-r, oh, you
know what / mean 2"
Such people are frequently i'm
patient with those who do not un-
derstand them. Yet their impati-
ence has no foundation of reason.
The fault is their own. Their writ
ten or spoken words do not con-
vey a clear meaning because the
thought that inspires the word is
not clear.
In other words, he who would
speak impressively or logically
should heed the old maxim to
think twice before speaking once.
Sloppy speech indicates sloppy
thinking. In all of which, perhaps,
