intendent of the penitentiary or ele-
vator boy at the state house.
This same argument also applies
to the position of state printer which
is also an office requiring technical
fitness. Fortunately at this time the
office is filled by an honest and very
capable man in Willis Duniway. But
the system is wrong just the same.
The next man will probably not be
as mindful of the states welfare as
is MIR, Duniway.
Two years ago the East Oregonian
discussed this subject and at that time
suggested that both the offices of
food and dairy commissioner and
state printer should be made ap-
pointive instead Of elective so as to
take those positions out of politics
and put them under the merit sys-
TEN. Therefore it is gratifying to
note that so prominent a man as Gov
ernor West is working along this line.
II he follows out this course and if
his recommendations are acted upon
favorably the state will benefit great
ly. The move looks to cutting out
politics and applying business prin-
ciples to public affairs
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-02-03
CUT OUT THE POLITICS.

In a special message to the legis-
lature Governor West recommends
that the office of food and dairy COM
missioner be either abolished or else
the present incumbent removed. He
gives reasons why such steps should
be taken. The reasons are that the
present official is rankly incompetent
and is likewise accused of grating
by his deputies who have resigned
out Of disgust for the methods Ire-
vailing under the Bailey regime.
The governors suggestion is timely
and it should be needed. 1t looks to
promoting competency in the public
service. In the view of the East Ore
gonian the office Of food and dairy
commissioner should be changed from
ar elective to an appointive office.
The commissioner should be appoint
ed either by the state board or by the
state board of health. A man should
be chosen who has expert qualifica-
tions for the position. He should be
required to inspect the dairies of the
state and the foodstuffs sold within
the state and to see that the laws
relating to the same are strictly
obeyed.
At this time the office of the food
and dairy commissioner is farce.
For 20 years that position has been
filled by man who is notoriously un-
fit for the place. He is hand shak-
Ing politician, not an expert food and
dairy inspector. Needed improve
ments that have been brought about
Ia the dairy business in Portland had
to be forced through over his objec-
tons. He tried to block the move to
eliminate the tubercular dairy cows
and he has been quoted as saying
that dirty milk is wholesome.
PROFESSIONALLY much Of the blame
for the condition of affairs in this Of
flee may be traced to the fact that
the office is elective. Positions that
require technical training should be
appointive and the appointing power
should have the right to remove the
appointee II he does not give satisfac-
tory service. There is no more sense
in having all the people Of this state
vote upon who shall be dairy inspec-
tor than there would be in having
= them vote. upon who shall be super

SMALL CHANGE.

At the recent dinner given by An
drew Carnegie, an eminent lawyer,
seated halfway down the table, was
deeply immersed in conversation with
his neighbor when the host opened
UP the subject Of the British coinage
system and showed signs of wishing
undivided attention.
Every other civilized nation" he
declaimed, has the decimal system,
while England adheres to the absurd
and cumbrous table Of pounds, shill-
ings and pence" Rap-rap-rap.
The raps were for the lawyer, who
remained absorbed in his own CONVEX
sation "And even rarthings," con-
tinued the iron-master. "Is there
anything else in finance so ridiculous
as the farthing?" Rap-rap.
The lawyer glanced around some
what impatiently.
Judge c." Mr.. Carnegie called
out, why do the British continue
their coinage of farthings?"
"To enable the Scotch to practice
benevolence, Mr.. Carnegie" returned
the lawyer.-From Success Magazine.

APPLY THE MERIT RULE.

In the belief that the Huntington
bill viii bring about a betterment of
the rural schools of the state some
newspapers are speaking favorably of
that measure.
But if it is desired to improve the
country schools why not go to the bot
tom of the trouble-why go part way?
The principal reason why our country
schools are neglected now is because
the office of county school superin-
tendent is upon a wrong basis. A
county superintendent is not a super
/ intendent at all. He is a clerk. The
office is based on politics, not on COM
potency. The school superintendent
must be elected from among the peo-
pie of the county. This must be done
even though there may be no compe-
tent man in the county who wants the
job.
This system is wrong. The position
is one involving special training and
special experience. 1t is silly to re-
quire that the superintendent be
be chosen from a certain territory. Ii
selecting city superintendents MEM
bers of a school board pay no atten-
ton to geographical lines. They go
out and get the best man they can
find, regardless of where he lives. He
is required to superintend the schools
and see that teaching work is thor
oughly done. If he cannot do this
he is supplanted by man who can.
At least the system calls for such ac-
ton as this.
1t is largely because cities look to
merit and not to politics when they
select school superintendents that the
city schools now excel the rural
schools. If the rural schools are to
be brought up to standard the first
step must be to lay the foundation
for real improvement by applying the
merit system in the selection of coun-
ty superintendents. The East Ore
gonian indicated yesterday how this
may be done.
To adopt the Huntington measure
as it stands without changing the
basis upon which county superintend-
ents are chosen would be like erect
ing the walls of a house without first
laying a proper foundation. Such
work as that has never proven salts

HE WAS MISTAKEN.

The Portland weather observer
predicted a cold wave for eastern
Oregon yesterday. He said a very
cold wave was headed for the north
west and that within SO hours the
temperature would go down to zero.
But he missed his guess as far as
Pendleton was concerned. Though
the temperature did become colder
last night the official thermometer
did not go lower than Il degrees
above zero and such a ''cold spell" as
that can be easily endured in mid
winter. If the weather man would
ask the grounding what he thought
of affairs in Pendleton yesterday he
would be informed that the weather
was fine, clear and mild.

SPEAKING OF SLANG.

While engaged in reforming per-
sonal weaknesses, why not cut down
the output Of slang?
Do you know that conversational
English is becoming a thing of hys-
terical extravaganza?
A little slang, 1t has been contend
ed, adds virility to the mother tongue,
but there is no excuse for OVERRIDING.
1t may be graphic ana amusing to
declare that "Pittsburg Is all to the
smudge." but you don't care to hear a
moment later that "Chicago Is all to
the mustard" or milwaukee all to
the sudsL"
"If you must use slang, use 1t spar
ingly, choosing 1t Wisely and making
It impressive.
And when you are in doubt as to ita
wisdom or its adaptability don't use
1t at all.-Cleveland Plaindealer.

BROUGHT RELIEF
 IN SHORT TIME
Bridgeport Woman Was Suffering from Debility

One of the most interesting state the introduction of the remarkable new tonic, "Tona Vita is that which was given out recently by Mrs. J. H. Snellen, of 246 Hanover street, city, WlIe of MT. Jack Snellen, who is one oI the best known men in the employ of the Barnum & Bailey circus.
 Mfs. Snellen said. T didn't believe any medicine could help me so quick ". l suffered with extreme nervous ness, headaches, and many other com Plalnts. l lost my appetite and couldn't sleep soundly. My circula- ton was poor, had no energy felt completely worn out and depressed
 T heard about the good 'Tona Vita was doing in Bridgeport and I de- c1ded to try bottle. I have taken one bottle and feel greatly improved
 The manner of living in the more thickly populated sections of the Uni ted States is such that nature finds it impossible to keep the human ma chine running true and strong day after day with it's vitality continually being sapped by the constant nervous strain,'' said one of the specialists who are here introducing "Tona Vita" "Ir- regular hours,' continued this spec ialists, "hastily eaten food" the wear and tear and rush of modern life, all are partially responsible for the inn mense amount of dull, listless, half sick people of the present generation. Debility, or rundown condition,' as it is called, is everywhere Half the people I see in restaurants, street cars, theaters ,or on the street, are unnis- takably in a debilitated condition, and their nervous system drives them eith.- CT to wish to lie down and rest or rush madly after more excitement.
 The medicine we are introducing here to combat this condition we be- lieve to be the best preparation ever before sold to the public, in that 1t is immediately effective in cases of de- bility and the other troubles that go hand in hand with this disease.''
 The specialists will meet all callers at Jennie Hamilton,s Pharmacy, 90S Main street, daily between the hours of a. m. and g p. m. and explain the nature of their new tonic.
 Enthusiasm continues to prevail generally where the new product called 'Tona Vita" has been used. The great amount of good which seems to have been accomplished is the cause of considerable excitement by those who have seen it's wonderful work. Case after case of people who were comparatively nervous wrecks and those who have been sufferers from stomach trouble for years have been sufferers from stomach trouble for years have been reported and the re- suits of Tona Vita were said to have been astonishing in nearly every case
