What sort OF an aggregation COM

at much expense to the taxpayers. to
GO forth as rural supervisors?
These questions are prompted by a
story which this paper publishes to-
day and which on its face is a tale
of unheard of arrogance by a super
visor in which he is upheld by Welles.
The story shows how a veteran teach.
er. with a long teaching record to her
credit and holding the highest state
papers, was summary dismissed I'M
der circumstances that point plainly
to miserable spite work by the super
visor. 1t was an outrage upon de-
cency and an insult to the school peo-
rle of this county.
If the story of Mrs. Ralston is true,
and h East Oregonian gives it full
credit, there is undreamed of rotten
ness and inefficency in the admins
tration of school affairs in this county.
Il is not sufficient for a teacher to
have the best credentials going and
to have an excellent record as a
She must also be careful lest
h offend the gods that be. She must
kow-tow properly and talk soft and
nice to the supervisor or he will find
technical faults and bring about her
discharge.
1t is time for a cleanup in the
school management of this county.
The taxpayers of the county do not
pay out hundreds of thousands of
dollars to keep school affairs in the
hands of such men as this. There is
urgent need of at least one change in
the rural supervisor force. There is
need of a manly, capable official in
the county superintendent office
who will give teachers a square deal
even if they do not have votes.
The East Oregonian has believed
this for a long time past. 1t is now
more convinced than ever as to the
reed of a shake-up.

WILSON THE A

The fight the r~eactionaries are max
ing on Woodrow Wilson should spu
the democrats Of Oregon to give their
full strength to the New Jersey man.
The allies are shrewdly seeking to
50 handle their forces in the various
states as to prevent the nomination of
Wilson. The men really behind the
move would like to name Harmon. He
is the democrat Wall street wants to
see put forth. But if Harmon cannot
be nominated anyone of the other
two or three candidates will be taken
in preference to Wilson.
The interests are making war on
Wilson because he is a staunch foe
OF machine politics and is an advo-
cate of direct legislation and direct
nominations. He would put the peo-
PIE in closer control of their govern
tents All his speeches ring with
this idea n his record as governor
of New Jersey shows hat when given
a place of power he is a tremendous
force for good government.
Governor Wilson is the logical man
for the democrats to name for the
presidency. II he is named it will be
a triumph for liberal democracy and
Wilson will be elected against Taft.
He will be elected because the people
realize fully that the great lee of
the hour in this country is a closer
connection between the people and the
government. They have found that
professional politicians cannot be re-
lied upon. They serve special inter-
ests rather than the popular will.
This is true all over the United States
ana the fact was never more appar-
emit than right at the present time.
II Oregon democrats believe in the
Oregon system Of government they
will ant their votes at the primary
election for Governor Wilson.

Then he said he inteded to cover the

Undoubtedly the tariff IS at the

at the heart Of it ALL"

many friends. His health is slightly
improved, but Is still very delicate.
Rev. Abercrombie also filed his
appointment at this place on the
nrst Sunday. 1t seems strange for
Little River to have preaching on
the first Sunday. Heretofore 1t has
been on the third Sunday for many
years.
Rev. R. A. Hudson, in company
with Daniel Watson, Of North Caro-
ma made business trip through

proved the last heard from. Their
many friends hope for its speedy
restoration to health.
The rainfall at this place on Fri
day, June 2S, was very heavy. Up-
land was badly washed and Little
River was very high at this place,
washing the corn down, and did a
good deal of damage in places to
corn and land.
Frank Morgan, Of Pickens county,
was circulating among relatives and
friends in this section the past week !
Though Mr.. Morgan is 6S years old
he seems to be enjoying good health,
and talks interestingly OF the trials
OF the sixties, and what fun they
had-and part Of 1t, he says, was not
SO funny.
Charles D. Perry was very sick the
latter part Of last week. He is out
again to the delight Of his friends.
The blacksmith shop at Geo. A.
Harrison's Mill was burned on the
night of June 21, the tools and
building being completely destroyed.
While the loss was not very heavy,
1t Is sorely felt, for the blacksmith
shop was convenient to the public
and necessary to keep up the mill.
