Some precautions are necessary until

Carnegie liked to help the budding
geniuses in his employ. AT eighteen
he quit a job worth $3.50 week and
cakes to take one paying $4 more
Twelve years later his salary was
$4,000 year, and when the United

interest in the business was adJudged

TURN THEM ALL DOWN.

In discussing the varied aggrega-
ton of county division bills now up
for consideration the Eugene Register
has the following:
Now 1t is to be a Clark county
sliced off from Grant county. With all
these new county schemes on foot,
the wisest thing the people of the
state can do is to vote No" on all of
them as a reminder to new county
boomers that they must pass the whole
proposition up to the legislature for
enactment of a law leaving division
and formation of new counties to the
people directly interested, both as to
territory set off and the old county
or counties from which to be taken.
1t is household affair in which
the general public should not mix and
inject themselves by their vote. Many
a man has gotten a well deserved
licking for mixing in a family row.
Only one county in Oregon has ever
been created by the people and that
was Hood River, but that was after
Wasco county gave its consent to sep
arate and the people did no great
harm in this instance. Besides it was
new idea not yet tried out to learn
its bad points.
The propositions now up are diff
ferent, especially the ones affecting
Lane and Douglas counties and the
people of these two counties will feel
that the people of Oregon have taken
snap Judgment and forced upon them
a condition not warranted by the
situation unless the people of these
two counties see fit to submit, by
their own votes, to the proposed divis-
ions.
Let the people of Oregon put this
whole county division proposition up
to the legislature to arrange a divis-
ion law that leaves settlement Of such
rquestions to the voters in the terri
tory affected Such a just and equi-
table law was passed at the last ses-
sion, but retiring Governor Chamber
lain for reasons best known to him
self. vetoed 1t. We must have a fair
county division law to be used conser-
vatively by the people in granting
such county formations as conditions
justify Under the present system, IL
the whole people are to pass on the
new county schemes they are as fully
justified in creating all the new coun-
any one of them and common sense
would suggest that, out of the dozen
Tor more new counties asked for, some
OF them are not justified by con-
ditions How will a widely separated
voting population be able to discrimi-
nate in this matter? They cannot do
il: therefore, for the people to form
any county in the state is doing the
people of that territory so affected
a rank injustice and, as a matter OF
fairness. the people should put their
stamp of disapproval on blanket
law that gives them the power to ride
roughshod, over any community in
the state.
Vote mo" on all county division
schemes and let the Legislature
straighten this matter out for the
common good OF all the people.

THE AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

OF our public schools Americans
have just reason for being proud. The
American public school system is the
greatest Institution in the world. The
finest thing about our school system
is its democracy. If equality of op-
portunity prevails anywhere it pre-
walls in the American public schools.
In our schools wealth and station do
not count. Our schools look alike up
on the children of the rich and the
poor. the high and the low. The
privilege of education is for all and
those who win must win by merit.
Now. this is a condition that does
not prevail throughout the entire
world. In England the school system
is arranged with view, not to pro-
noting democracy but with a view
to perpetuating class distinctions. 1t
is the theory of English educators
that children of the lower classes
should be trained for the same sta
tions occupied by their parents. In
other words they would close the
door of advancement on those of poor
or lowly birth. The public schools
iii England are considered as charity
schools The best schools are all up
on a tuition basis and hence open only
to those more fortunately situated.
Such a policy as this may aid in per-
petuating monarchical government in
England for a time. But it is a pol
icy that means certain degeneracy
and if that policy is continued long
enough the day will come when the
sun will set upon Great Britain.
Since democracy is a fundamental
feature ohthe American school system
T. IS necessary that our educational
work be conducted by the state. True
there is certain field for private in
stitutions and always will be. But
this field is necessarily limited. AS
