HIRING \ MAN.

A business man hired a young fe-
low some time ago and before settling
the salary question said "Of course
we all know that you know more
about the business than we do?" And
then he grinned as the young fellow
caught it and led off with a smile, 81
am very glad you see it right at the
start" he continued.
'Now don't misunderstood me
While it is true that we know a little
bit about this business-since We have
been at it for fifteen years-we do not

IT MEANS PERMANENCY.

The finest thing about the initi-
ative measure that has been prepar-
ed in behalf of the Eastern Oregon
normal school is the fact that the bill
provides for permanent mainten-
ance. If that bill is adopted by the
people of the state the Eastern Ore
gon normal will cease to be a foot
ball for legislators to kick about. As
shown by Clark Wood and other
normal school speakers last night
the insecurity of the Oregon normals
has been their weak spot in the past
Neither professors or students have
ever had any assurance that the work
would be continued. 1t has always
been a hand to mouth" existence
and so the normals were in disre'
pute, through no fault of their own
Yet even with the disadvantages
under which the normal school;
worked they did valuable service

ern Oregon normal provided its share
Those teachers are now holding good
positions and their services are in de-
mand. School boards everywhere
want to secure teachers who have
had normal training. They view with
alarm, and justly so, the fact that our
normals are now closed and that the
supply of good, capable teachers is
not large.
1t is the firm belief of the East
Oregonian that the people of Eastern
Oregon want a normal school and
that the people Of the entire STATE
will grant that we need such an in.

EVERYDAY RELIGION.


When all is said and done at last and
creeds have warred with creeds
When men have coined new terms to
clear the ground of verbal
weeds
When systems change and doctrines
clash and some put off the old
To don new faiths that seem to them
a clearer light to hold;
Although it may be silly, wet It's back
for you and me
To the everyday religion that was
taught at mothers knee.
The new fads have their beauty. and
well-founded thought may bring
\ comfort to believers who enlist be-
meath their wing;
The ologies and isms and the abstract
and the new
For those who seek adventure in soul
comforting may do;
But there's nothing quite so filling in
aught that 1 can see
Like the everyday religion that we
learned at mothers knee.
Some criticise the heaven of the BIZ
BILE, and some smell
A little too much birthstone in the
old-tme Bible hell;
This one thinks creation wasn't scten-
tific quite,
And this ones half convicted that he
has seen another light;
But when they've passed opinions,
and the choice is left to me.
Mines the everyday religion that we
learned at mothers knee.
Just plain and sweet and simple,
with it's creed of faith and
trust.
In golden rules of brotherhood, in life
beyond the dust;
In ioy and song eternal, if in this life
we've seen fit
To obey the ten commandments
that's all there is to it;
No fancy frill of trimming; but it's
good enough for me
That everyday religion that we learned
at mothers knee.

owners of these classes of property
pay money into the school fund yet
they do not make personal use of the
schools of the county. They pay
money into the road fund, yet they
get few roads or bridges because the
land which they own and upon which
they pay taxes is not populated.
Much of the money which the rail-
roads, the timber land owners and
the wheat land owners pay in taxes
goes To sections like the Milton-Free-
water country where they have schools
and where they need roads and
bridges. This money keeps taxes low
in such sections.
This being the case is it not strange
that some of the Milton-Freewater
country want to secede from this
county with its S42,OO0,O0O assessed
valuation?
Yes, it is strange.
Would secession from Umatilla
county be a good thing for most of
the people in the east end?
No. it would be a bad thing for
most of them. 1t would benefit
merely those living in Milton and who
would profit should that town be-
come a county seat.

ELEMENTARY.

The Milton-Freewater country is
q closely settled section. It has a
heavy school enumeration. For every
child that country gets $40 from the
general school fund. That section.
being closely peopled. also needs good
roads and permanent bridges. 1t is
getting them. They are being paid
for with money from the county
funds.
Now at the present time the county
funds are raised from an assessment
upon property valued at $4,000. 900.
or this valuation $500, 900 is COM
prised in the railroad assessment.
The railroads. have no school chill
dren yet the railroads pay their share
OF the school tax. There is also much
timber land in this county. much
grazing land and much wheat land
where the population is sparse. The

That the passion for exclusive news
"stories" is by no means confined to
the newspapers of the big cities was
amusingly illustrated, not long ago
by an editorial notice in country
paper in Iowa.

ROOSEVELTS TEETH.

With seeming seriousness the
Spokesman Review speaks as follows
of Col. Roosevelt's teeth.
The long-looked for answer to that
oft-repeated query, "Why is Teddy"
has at last been found. 1t is teeth.
Yes, our beloved Teddy. the present
idol of kings and courts, the greatest
individual force in the world today.
owes his fame and glory to that set
OF strong and FURNISHED molars and
incisors which, for so many years,
has been the easy mark of cartoon
lists and the cleaning frame of the
familiar bully boys and dee
lighted"
The National Dental association,
meeting in Philadelphia, stumbled on
the fact Friday, April %, but at the
time made no Rooseveltian applica-
tion of it,
Teeth may properly be considered
the source of energy" said a member
Of the committee of oral hygiene.
Good teeth mean good health and
good health determines the capacity
for achievement"
The discovery, equaling that of
Achilles heel and Samson's hair,
is so simple that, like many others,
lit arouses the immediate inquiry
throughout the land, "Why didn't we
think of it before?" Every one
knows that even in babyhood the
coming of one tooth is the signal of
increased and surprising energy, and
as one grows older there is scarcely
time when the mere thought of a
dentist doesn't make one tired.
But beneath these common symp-
toms of the correlation there is the
accumulation of fact which medical
research has disclosed. The medical
profession of Strassburg, Germany
for example, recently started a syste-
matte examination and treatment ot
the teeth of school children and as 6
result the children are reported
stronger, brighter, happier and easier
TO control AS a result, German in
surance companies have established
free dental clinics where their polio!
holders may be treated, the assump
tion being that this is one of the easi
est and least expensive ways of main
tanning the general health. The Ma
tional Dental association has prac
tically decided to establish simila
: stations throughout the principal cit
les of the different states, provide,
the assistance of the municipalitle
i can be secured.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done a great dea
for his country, but If his teeth an
their familiarity are to be the caus
of a healthier. happier and more eff
cient race the debt of his countrymel
can scarcely be estimated. At any rat
here is to him-and to them-and tn
destruction of his enemies-the for

Penalty for the
Garbage LOOterS

Sanitary Inspector w C. Gates is
, advocating the passage by the city
council of ain. ordinance providing a
severe penalty for those who make
practice of loot!ng garbage cans and
boxes throughout the city, scattering
the refuse matter in all directions, af-
ter property owners have placed it
where scavengers may take it, During
the past few weeks numerous COM
plants have been made to the health
authorities regarding the activities of
these persons who evidently hope 10
find a we'll filled purse or a diamond
brooch cached away IN some refuse
can.
Mr.. Gates has learned the names of
several persons who spend their leisure
time-and that comprises most of the
time they are not asleep-walking
! through the alleys in the business dis
trict, cleaning such articles as they
may desire, from the garbage cans.
They pay little attention. says the stni-
| tary inspector, to the condition in
which they leave the premises after
completing their search, and the prop
erty owner, when cautioned by the Of
ficials, naturally feels that an injustice
/ has been done him. In a number of
cases these alley-fiends have been
known to empty jute sacks in which
waste matter had been set in the al
legs, taking the bags and disposing OF
| them to secondhand dealers.
! In view of the fact that the campaign
| for a cleaner and more sanitary city
has Just closed, Mr.. Gates feels that the
/ conditions now prevailing in portions
of the city should be maintained, and

to bring these offending ones TO justice

Double Debate
With Idaho "U''

The proposition which was offered
by the University of Idaho to Whit
man college some time ago to the eff
feet that two debates be held an
nualy on the same night between the
two institutions, one at Moscow and the
other at Walla Walla, has been con-
sidered and accepted by the Debate
Council of the local college.
The system is an entirely new one
to the colleges of the northwest, but
it will undoubtedly introduce a strong
er. more determined spirit and greater
rivalry than have hitherto been evil
dent in the forensic contests. So far
NOT more than one debate has been
he'd yearly between the two colleges,
and none at all has taken pace now
for several years. The new system
provides for single judge. preferably
a federal judge if one could be secured
in each case, and if not professional
judge.
1t was planned by the Whitman De-
bate council that the team which is to
meet Idaho next year be chosen from
the Phrenokosmian-Athe debate
which will take place on the 22nd OF
this month, but since two teams VIII
be required to meet the Muscovltes
in the series next season, probably no
team will be selected from the local.

ties that will be offered in debate
