A prisoner was being tried in an

against him purely circumstantial;

BABrS TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when 1 removed his
shirt.
we tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"

THE MEXICAN

nREsIDENT TAFT is being siren
uously urged to call an extra
session Of congress at once to
deal with the Mexican situation. He
is refraining because Of the fear that
such action would be interpreted as an
attempt to make political capital, and
because he Is hopeful that the Madero
government may yet succeed in restor-
ing order.
While the presidents attitude is to
be commended, there is little hope of
an early restoration of peace and Sc
curity to the Mexican republic. The
collapse Of the Felix Diaz revolt is
only an incident. In the central part
Of the country, not far from the ma
tional capital, the followers Of the
ruthless and t~ireless Zapata are still
making bloody raids upon villages and
wrecking trains. In the north, close
to the frontier Of the United States,
the rebels appear to be gaining
strength again and growing holder
with their small successes. They are
all around Juarez, on the Rio Grande,
and they dominate much of the coun-
try in two or three large states, out
side of the cities, where strong garri-
sons are maintained.
In the meantime the foreign nations
are becoming insistent, They r de-
manding that the United States take
steps TO protect the lives and property
OF foreigners in Mexico or waive the
Monroe doctrine and let them inter
vene. Throughout all this turmoil
and uncertainty the course Of the
United States government has beer
marked by extraordinary patience ant
~forbearance. Prompt action will have
to be taken, however, and the Mexican
situation will be one Of the big prob.
lens pressing for solution when con.
gress meets in December, even IL {
crisis is deferred that long.

The County
Fund Law
Explained

The object that the originators OF
the County High School Fund Law
had in mind when the plan was work
ed out and the law written were;
First. to encourage and make possible
the building up Of high schools in the
country; second, TO make 1t possible
for outside pupils to attend high
schools in the cities without being
compelled TO pay tuition and without
the cities being compelled to furnish
schooling for such pupils and receive
nothing in return.
The experience Of the counties in
" hich the law has been in operation
for the last four years has shown that
primary objects have been very salts
factorily met and that in such coun-
ties four out Of every five pupils who
finish the eighth grade are now enjoy
ing the privileges Of high school edu-
cation. The small tax on the county
as a whole thus placing all Of the
property in the county back Of the
high school education Of every child
in the county, required to create such
a fund tends to equalize the burden Of
taxation for high school purposes.
The plan has been the means Of TAX
ing high school education to the very
doors Of the country boy and girl as
shown by the fact that in Lane and
Linn counties where the law has been
in operation for the past four years
there are more country high schools
than in all the rest Of the state.
Seven counties are now working un-
der the law and the results obtained
have been so satisfactory both to
country and city alike that as many
more counties will vote on the plan
this election and indications are that
1t will carry in all.
This plan is one Of the things that
is placing oregon in the front rank
educationally and is attracting the at
tention Of educators all over the Uni
ted States and we are receiving in
quiries from Washington, D. c., and
from such state as Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Kansas, asking for copies
of the law and reports on the success
of the plan.

WE WILL NOT DE BLAMELESs'

GOVERNOR WEST is taking the
IN initial steps toward, If possible
recovering, or at least getting
for the state some equivalent Tor
the wagon road land grants, from
which the state received little or no
benefits. That he may fail Is pos
slble, indeed highly probable 1t has
been a long time since the TRANSACTIONS
Of and concerning them took place
and this alone Is a strong feature
against his success. However b
governors act Is commendable, n IS

However that may be, 1t Is n OF
those cases Of locking the stable door
after the horse is stolen, or, to come
nearer the fact, one Of chasing a pig
back into the pen, that the hired mans
carelessness permitted to escape. The
attempt to regain the land, to get the
mig back into the pen, is the natural
sequence Of it's having gotten out.
But, while chasing this pig back
we should not forget that there are
others in the pen, and we should not
allow them to escape while chasing
after the stray,
The state has parted with a vast
amount of land, and probably has
parted with 1t forever; but 1t still has
a rich inheritance Of which little or no
care is being taken, and which, If not
safeguarded and looked after soon,
will be another pig out Of the pen to be
chased in again-if 1t can.
This is the water powers-the great
strong-limbed giant that a turn

tied, ln~exhaustible. The individuals Of
the state know and understand the
value OF this power, and are rapidly
"appropriating" It for themselves;
but the state, the collective individual,
seems to be utterly unaware of 1t, and
is allowing It to be taken from 1t,
without hindrance or protest, Yet 1t Is
one of the most valuable assets Of the
state, though at present only a small
portion Of It is being utilized. The
