Farm Demonstration Agents Meet
--Colleqe and Campus Notes.

college and Campus Notes.
Clemson College, March 4:-'Dur-
ing the first two days of the week
Clemson had as her guest Mr. Brad
ford Knapp and his farm demonstra-
ton agents of the Piedmont section.
Twenty-Five of these agents were
present, and all were enter
tanned in barracks. Mr. Knapp, DR.
Knapp's son, responded to a short
address Of welcome by President
Riggs and insisted that his men
should recognize that the agricultur-
al college is to the demonstration
agents what the implement factory
is to the farmer. The agricultural
college must furnish the necessary
information which the agents dis
seminate. His remarks along this
line were we'll received, and the
spirit of cooperation which was
manifest is evidenced by the follow
ing resolution:
BE it resolved, by the farm dem
onstration agents of the Piedmont
section of South Carolina, That we
tender our sincere thanks and appre-
citation of the most hearty welcome
and hospitality extended US by Pres
ident Riggs and the faculty of Glenn
son College during our meeting at
the college February % and March l.
We wish to assure President Riggs
and the faculty of the college that
we are heartily in sympathy with
the institution, ,and pledge our hearty

opment of the agricultural resources
of the State.

Winthrop College, Rock Hill,
March 6-The college kindergarten
girls are keeping up kindergarten
at the Wymojo mills. They are do
ing a great work. getting the parents
interested in the education of their
children. These mills are joining the
back campus. and the kindergarten
has recently been named The Little
Neighbor."
:. Miss Macfeat and other members
of the faculty are conducting a night
school over in the mill village for the
benefit of the over-grown boys and
girls who cannot read and write.
They have four-room cottage for
their school-house. A reading room
has been provided for, and the pu-
pills have access to school books and
literature. Mr. Moore, the president
of the mills, has become interested
and is helping as much as he can.
Winthrop is taking part in the
playground movement" which is
now spreading over the country.
Fairgrounds are being prepared on
the campus to which the children OF
the town and mill section viii be
asked to come and play. This is in
tended to provide for the play-de-
velopment of children who have no
place except the streets in which to
play. In an address made here some
weeks ago by DR. Heatherington, the
need of we'll organized play both in
the city and in the country was
stressed. Seven whole States and a
number of counties in other States
already have systems of organized
play.
The appropriation made by the
State for science building is great
ly appreciated. At present the sci
ence rooms are scattered over the
main building from the first floor up
to the fifth. 1t is a good thing that
the work done in climbing five long
fights of stairs up to the chemistry
room can soon be utilized d in
work which will have better results.
A wrong impression has been circu-
lated about the vast number Of i'm
provements made within the past
few years. Only three buildings have
been added to the college plant in
sixteen years. and some of the money
put in these was donated by people
not in this State.
Walter H Page, editor of the
Worlds Work." has recently given
a number of books to the Winthrop
library.
DR. Joynes has gwen lot adjoin-
ing the caps for the students
building. The literary societies and
the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation are raising the building fund.
Some time during the year each of
the literary societies gives play.
David Garrick'' was presented by
the Curry Literary society last Mon
day night.
We shall have the Wofford College
gymnasium exhibition in the audito-
rum next Monday evening. An in
teresting entertainment is expected.
The Winthrop College Alumnae
association has made a change in the
place of meeting in Columbia on
March 25, 1911. The meeting was to
have been held at the State House,
but this has been changed to Marion
street school at 1920 a. m. on above
date. All former students of Win.
throp, whether graduates or not, are
asked to come to this meeting.

MIR, TAYLOR'S LETTER.

In a communication to this paper
yesterday H. j. Taylor, president of
the county good roads association,
had some pointed things to say about
the good roads legislation and about
the grange and farmers union lob
byists who worked against the meas
ures. Being a prominent farmer
himself Mr.. Taylor's views are of par
ticular interest. They show that all
the farmers of this county are not op-
posed to the good roads bills.
1t is the firm belief of the East
Oregonian that nine-tenths the farm
ers of the county would favor the
good roads bills as Mr.. Taylor favors
them if they fully understood the sit
uation. The only way to get good
roads is by constructing them. The
good roads association had a syste-
matte, business like and very equit-
able plan for carrying on road work.
Had the legislation asked for been
granted we would have gotten re-
suits.
Within the next two years the lob
byists who worked against the good
roads bills will have an opportunity
to explain their actions to their peo-
Pile That some legislators who op-
posed the good roads bill have al
ready heard from their constituents is
already known from the fact that a
move is on in the house to ressurrect
/ the state aid bill.

TARIFF COMMISSION BEST.

In the issue that has been raised
over the Canadian reciprocity treaty
the need of tariff commission is
shown once more. Whether or not
the treaty will be a good thing and
viii be just to the American farmer
is more than anything else question
OF facts, OF the real merits of the
treaty the average citizen cannot well
judge for the reason that he has not
sufficient information at hand. 1t is
safe to say that not one man in 1000
knows the full nature of the recip-
rocity treaty.
The cry has gone forth that the
treaty If adopted will work an injus-
tice upon the farmer-that the gov
crnment will be providing free trade
in farm products while protecting
trust made goods. This argument,
against the treaty may be well found
ed, or it may be a piece of chicanery.
The opposition of the grange may
have been cunningly aroused by other
interests that will suffer by the treaty.
For instance by the timber trust or
the paper Trust. 1t would be very
natural for such interests as those 70
use the grange as a catspaw to pull
their own chestnuts from the fire.
Those who are defending the admin
istration in its move to put through
the reciprocity treaty hold that
the farmer has more to fear from the
American trusts that control the ag-
ricultural products of this country
than from the reciprocity treaty. This
may be true.
With the tariff commission plan in
operation there would be less oppor-
tunity than now for mistakes and. for
jobbery. The commission would
gather complete and reliable data re-
garding the different industries. Tar
if schedules could then be fixed ac-
cording to the merits of the case and
not in accordance with the political
exigencies of the moment.

WHAT ARE THEY?
baltimore News.N


1t is characteristic of the curious
and illogical development of institu-
tions that this country is just COM
ing to face a final decision as to what
is "republicanism" and what is de-
mocracy." For more than half
century the two great parties have
been called democratic and repubn
can. What do the two names mean?
What is the essential difference in
governmental ideals that the two
words connote? And do the people
of the the two parties really know to
what differences they subscribe when
they avow themselves members of
| one party or the other?
The supreme court is going to de-
eide in the next few months, what is
republican and what a democrevic
form of government. II will pass on
the appeal of case from Oregon in
which the democratic governmental
| system of that state, based on the
| initiative, referendum and recall, is
| involved, The initiative and refer
eldum provide democracy; of that
there can be no doubt. The people
may propose and pass their own
laws. But is that more than can be
done under a republican form of gov
ernment?
The constitution guarantees re
publican form of government to all
the states. oregon is going to find
| out from the supreme court whether
in adopting the initiative and refer
endum, it has overstepped the defini-
tion of republican" The dictionary
meaning Of the two words, common
| ly accepted as practically synony-
nous, makes them decidedly differ
ent. If the dictionary be accepted,
| Oregon's plan, just now so popular in
/ all radical sections, has no chance at
all. The dictionary makes repub-
| lican government a government
| through elected representatives of the
people, not by the people at all, If
| the dictionary gets literally vindicat-
ed. Oregon's plan will be in the way
| of demolition. For Oregon has spe-
officially provided machinery to elm
| mate the representatives elected by
| the people.
No more interesting case has come
| to the supreme court in many years
than this one, and certainly few more
| important. The initiative and refer
endum movement is making progress
whose like is difficult to recall in
our history. If the supreme court
should declare that the whole plan
is unconstitutional, it would certainly
precipitate a crisis whose ultimate
significance few would dare to con-
| lecture.

LOOK TO COMPETENCY.

A move is on to place the state
printer on a flat salary. 1t is a pro-
Fer move but the legislature should
go farther and abolish that office as
an elective office. Let the printer be
employed by the state board just as
the state house janitor is employed.
Or else let the printing work out by
contract. It is a silly plan to have
the state printer an elective official
Let the board employ a man for his
technical fitness and get the best man
possible, no matter whether he is
resident of oregon, Indiana or Ber-
lin. The rule of the survival of the
fittest prevails in private business. 1t
should also prevail in the public SER
vice.
BY this same argument the state
food and dairy commissioner should
be changed from an elective to an
appointive official. He should be Sc
lected by the state board or by the
state board of health. He should be
an expert and If when seeking a pro-
per man for the place the board could
rot find good man in Oregon then
they should 90 beyond the borders of
this state.
BY this same argument county
school superintendents should be en-
pIoyed, not elected. 1t is silly for a
big county like Umatilla that has
something like 100 school districts
and spends hundreds Of thousands of
dollars maintaining schools, to have
to elect a superintendent from the
people Of this county. There may be
nc competent man within the county
who wishes the position. Then who
ever comes forth has to be chosen
The right way would be to elect coun-
t. superlntendents upon the same
basis city superintendents are chosen
Employ men upon their qualifications
as educators. 1t should not matter
whether man is from Umatills
county, from Portland or from Ohio
II is competency that should count.
With these sentiments in view th'
East Oregonian has criticised tn
Huntington bill which looks to pro
viding more supervision for rura
schools. Supervision for rural school
there should be. But this paper sub
mits that the first step towards pro
viding such supervision should con
sist in getting the most capable coun
ty superintendents possible. Plainl
the best men cannot be obtained un
der the present method Of election
OF course in opposition to the clair
that school superintendent. the stat
printer and the food commissions
should be appointed and not electe
the argument will be made that sue
A change would take power away fror
the people. Still there are some pow
ers which the people should delega'
90 others rather than exercise thel
directly. Only a demagogue wi
maintain the contrary. H9weve

proposed above In not 20 much thi
