that supporters OF the overdone noI

mouth in the last Legislature, nor
Salem, nor any Other town near the
center of the states activities, to
obtain the consolidated school.
1t ought to be possible, however,
to put normal schools on rational

has been nursing along on short
rations In, places distant fIom popula.
tion centers, served the purpose of
their existence In sorry fashion.
Concentration 9 OF funds and effort is
needed to set up and keep up normal
sducation IN this state. Normal
school partisans, intrenched in the
House OF Representatives in Salem
last Winter, defeated every attempt
for consolidation and new location.
A spirit OF smity. Is needed, first of
all, and II that Is not possible, then

have been upholding the old system.
Normal education should no longer be
a local, but a state. wide matter, to be
managed in accord with state widt

put through the telephone office
that the fuses we're burned out aud

NORMAL SCHOOL MASS
Meeting FRIDAY NIGHT

There will be mass meeting In
the opera house tomorrow night to
consider the normal school proposi-
tiou. The band will be out and a
number of citizens will speak on the
advisabiiity OF inviting the state OF
Oregon to place its one normal school
in Hood River. The Commercial
Club committee is anxious to have q
large attendance In order that the
people may give their ideas on the
proposition. Hood River offers an
excellent location for normal school
and 1t 10 the general belief that the
state could not find letter place for
1t, but the committee wants to get
the sentiment OF the people and see II
they want the school here. IL the
support of the community is pledged
to the Committe in Its work for the
institution, then the work will be
pushed forward.

GasOline yitiates Insurance.

D. Mcdonald, who attended the
recent bard ware dealers meeting 10
Portland, tells OF an interesting talk
given at the meeting on insurance.
One OF the important things brought
out In the speech Was the fact that
the presence of gasoline 10 building
vitiates the insurance on 1t, unless
1t is specifically permitted In the
policy and then the companies viii
only allow very small quantities.
Mr.. Mcdonald has had tank under
his store which he has abandoned and
is thinking of putting in tank thirty
feet away from the b. Hiding which
will not affect the insurance.

Detection From Taft.

A recent di,patch from Kansas
City says: The Kansas City Star,
the frst paper in the middle west to
urge the nomination of Mr.. Taft for
the presidency, and whose editor, w.
r. Nelson, is a personal friend OF the
chief executive, says today:
'In his speech at New York Presi-
dent Taft admitted the loss OF popu-
larity for the administration that
might cause the republican party to
lose the house Of representatives. He
might have gone even farther. So
great has the detection been that II a
presidential election were to be held
next November, probably there would
be one republican, Col. Roosevelt,
who would stand chance Of carrying
the country against a ticket headed,
for example by Judge Gaynor or
Senator Folk.
i.In all this transformation of
public sentiment there has been but
little bitterness. Instead there has
been general sorrow over loss of conti-
dence In president OF charming
personality and right intentions, but
who. partly from temperament. and.
partly from lack Of sagacity, and
partly from deficiency In aggressive
militant earnestness, has. alienated
the people who believed they had
found 10 him man to carry out the
work begun by Roosevelt.
