TEACHERS.

II is a great thing to teach. l am
never more complimented than when
some one addresses me as teacher"
To give yourself in a way that will
inspire others to think. to do. to be-
come-what nobler ambition?
To be a good teacher demands a
high degree of a'truism, for one must
be willing 10 sink self. to die-as it
were-that others may live
There is something in it very much
akin to motherhOod--a brooding quail
ity. Every true mother realizes at
times that her children are only
loaned to her-sent from God-and
the attributes Of her body and mind
are being used by some power for a
purpose The thought tends to refine
the heart Of its dross, obliterate pride
and make her feel the sacredness Of
her office. All good men every
where recognize the holiness of moth
erhood-this miracle by which the
race survives
There is a touch Of pathos in the
thought that while lovers live to
make themselves necessary to each
other the mother is working to make
herself unnecessary to her children.
And the entire object of teaching is
to enable the scholar to do without
his teaching Graduation should take
place at the vanishing point Of the
teacher.
Yes, the efficient teacher has in
him much Of this mother quality
Thoreau. you remember, said that
genius is essentially feminine. If he
had teachers in mind his remark was
certainly true. The men Of much
motive power are not the best teach
ers. The arbitrary and imperative
type that would bend all minds to
match its own may build bridges, tun-
mel mountains discover continents
and capture cities, hut 1t cannot
teach.
In the presence Of such a towering
personality freedom dies, spontaneity
droops and thought sinks away into
corner. The brooding quality the
patience that endures and the yearn-
ing Of motherhood are all absent The
man is a commander, not a teacher
and there yet remains a grave doubt
whether the warrior and ruler have
not used their influence more to
make this world a place of skill than
the abode Of happiness and prosper
ity. The orders to kill all the first

born and those over ten years of age
We're not given by teachers.
The teacher is one who makes two
ideas grow where there was only one
before.
Just here seems good place to say
that We live in a stupid old world,
round like an orange and slightly flat
tened at the poles. The proof of this
seemingly pesslmistic remark, made
by a hopeful and cheerful man. lies
i'm the fact the We place small prem
ium in either honor or money on the
business of teaching. AS i'm olden
times. BARRIERS and scullions ranked
with musicians and the master of the
hounds wore a bigger medal than the
poet laureate. so do we pay our teach
ers the same as coachmen and coal
beavers. giving them a plentiful lack
of everything but overwork.
l will never be quite willing to ad-
NIT that this country is enlightened
until we cease the inane and parsi-
monious policy of trying to drive all
the really strong men and women
out of the teaching profession by put
ting them on the payroll at one-half
the rate. or less, than that which the
same brains and energy can COM
mand elsewhere. In the year of our
Lord nineteen hundred and nine, in
n time of peace. we appropriated five
hundred million dollars for war and
war appliances, and this sum is just
double the cost of the entire public
school system in America. 1t is not
the necessity of economy that die
tates our actions in this matter Of
education. We simply are not en-
lightened.
But this thing cannot always last.
| look for the time when we shall
set apart the best and noblest men
and women of earth for teachers and
their compensation will be SO ade-
quate that they will be free to give
themselves for the benefit of the race
without apprehension of a yawning
a'mshouse. A liberal policy will be
for our own good, just as a matter of
cold eXpediency; it will be enlighten-
ed self-interest.-Elber Hubbard.

He was nominated for governor of
New York at the instance of Boss
Platt When he became governor of
New York he did as he pleased. That
was breach of political etiquette as
il was understood in New York When
Roosevelt was running for vice pres
ident he spoke in Denver, the strong
hold Of free silver. Most people sup
posed that out of policy he would re-
frain from discussing the silver is
sue. But he did not. He told the
Denver people that while in Colorado
he stood as he stood when in New
York. They cheered him for his
frankness and courage. When Roose-
Welt was president he did many things
To shock people. Yet the country in
general approved of his course.
As to the Guild speech it is some
what difficult to judge at this dist
ance. At first glance it looks like
the ex-president had undertaken to
rough house" John Bull while the
letter was dressed up and not ex-
pecting a tussle. 1t was rude and the
English are offended. Yet the ex-
porience may he beneficial to John.
He may take note of Roosevelt's crit
iciSms and act upon his suggestions
despite the fact that he is angry at
present.

AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY.

When corporation such as the
Pacific telephone company has a mo-
nopoly as it has in Oregon and seems
able to continue that monopoly there
is but one course for the people of
the state to take. They should have
a commission to investigate the bus
mess of that corporation and it should
have power not only to regulate the
service but also to order reductions
in rates when such reductions seem
necessary.
Without a commission the people
are simply helpless in the hands of
q corporate conopoly. Take for in
stance the present telephone COM
pany. The officers Of that concern
desire to make all the money they
can for their stockholders. Having a
monopoly in which they are virtually
secure for the present the temptation
is to abuse it. The Pacific telephone
company has already abused its priv
ileges. 1t is charging rates that seem
all out Of proportion in view of the
capital they have Invested and the
cost Of operating their business. They
are employing girls at ridiculously
low wages ana because of their low
wage policy they give the public poor
service. They will very likely con
tinue this policy just as long as they
are allowed TO do so.
In the view of the East Oregoniar
the sure and certain way to bring tht
telephone company to slime is to pas
state law placing that business un
der the control of a commission. Thi
control may be vested in the railwa,
commission. as is the case in. Wash
ington. or a separate commission ma,
be named That commission shoulc
have power 10 regulate the service ant
the rates The telephone compan,
should be allowed a reasonable prof
upon its investment and upon its op
eratlng cost. II IS enLlled 10 III
more. II the present corporation i
making fabulous profits as is charged
the situation is unjust. The telephon
company is a public service corpor
alton The public IS entitled to it
share Of the profits in the shape o
reasonable rates and good service.
u the city council cannot get sat
isfaction from the telephone compan
then that honorable body should g

move to have the telephone bushes
placed under control Of a commission

INTERESTED DEFENDERS.

At pioneers gathering in Walla
Walla, President 5. b. L. Penrose, of
Whitman College. and ex-governor
Miles G. Moore defended Secretary
Ballinger and denounced the attacks
upon him as "villany"
But let us see, who are these wit
uesses for the defense?" Ex-gover-
nor Moore was one of the Cunning
ham claimants, according to reports,
He is an interested witness.
President Penrose is a relative Of
senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, a
man who is noted for his association
with the Guggenheims and others of
that class. So the Whitman college
president naturally looks at the Bal
''0-r" affair from that angle. But
when he asserts as he did at Walla
Walla, if correctly reported. that the
conservation policy is opposed to the
settlement of the west he assists in
spreading a lie. 1t is a lie that was
originated on the assumption that
the way to obscure a real issue is to
raise a false one. The real issue is
that arising out of the gobbling up of
the coal and timber and other natur-
al resources of this country by great
corporate interests. To obscure this
issue the friends of corporate owner
ship raise the cry that conservation
will retard the settlement and de-
velopment Of the west. The plea is
plainly hypocritical.
It is rather surprising though tc
hear ~ college president taking the
stand assumed by Prof. Penrose. Pos.
sbly his attitude may be explained
10y the fact thHt he is the head of al
endowed institution.

VALUE or VEGETABLES.

san Francisco Bulletin: There are
few people who know much about the
medicinal virtues Of vegetables that
are used in almost every household.
In France all good cooks understand
the medicinal properties of vegeta-
bles, but in this country little atten-
ton is given to the subject The
peasants of France live almost ex-
clusively upon vegetables, wine and
bread, certain vegetables being pre-
scribed because Of their medicinal
qualities Soup or broth made from
the outside parts Of carrots is used
as a preventive and cure for jaundice.
Carrots contain sugar and are very
fatening. onion broth with cayenne
pepper is used in the treatment Of
gout, and the French peasants believe
that onion broth should be a regular
part Of the diet of persons of seden-
tary habits. Celery, as is generally
known, is a nerve food, and also good
for rheumatism. Cauliflower has me-
dicinal properties similar to those of
onions.

CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Democratic Congressional Com
mittee Defines Platform of
Fight in Coming Fall
.EXTRAVAGANCE is. ATTACKED
Work of Administration During
Last Two Months Thought
Favorable to Party
EXTRAVAGANCE IS ATTACKED
ASSOCIATED Press1

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Defning the
issues on which it expects to conduct
its campaign this fall, the Democratic
congressional committee today issued
its first official pronunciamento since
the opening of headquarters in this
city.
1t was signed by Representative
Lloyd of Mississippi, the chairman, and
sets forth that the issues will be:
The tariff and its consequences, eX-
travagant expenditures, wrong doings
of officials, graft that is shown to exist
in nearly every government branch and
the autocratic ruling Of the majority
party
1t is contended that these will be
factors "in bringing about a Demo-
cratic victory in November"
The committee announced that in ad-
dition to headquarters here it will open
headquarters in Chicago August i;
that its campaign book will be ready
for the Democratic spellbnders the lat
ter part of July and that the commit
tee will make a vigorous contest, in
confident expectation of the election of
a Democratic house of representatives
in November.
That conditions are favorable to the
Democrats is asserted by the commit
tee which declares that the work of the
administration and of congress during
the last two months improved Demo-
cratic prospects. The statement as
serts that no one need think that there
is any hope of uniting Republican fac
tions and that the Republican party is
seriously divided and must remain SO
until after the November election.
