THE COBVALLiS GAZETTE Published every Tuesday and Friday by the GAZETTE PUBLISHING CO. O. A. DEARING, Ed. and Mgr. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2 7. 1903 EDITORIAL COMMENT. The salt trust which started with an alleged capital of $12, 000,000 is found to have only $37,000 when reduced to a solid, substantial basis. For the first time in the history of world's fairs an effort will be made to send a live stock exhibit to St. Louis in 1904 from this "state. Fifty thousand dollars of the $500,000 appropriated for the Lewis and Clark fair by the Ore gon legislature will be used in making an exhibit of this s-tate's resources at St Louis next year and it is hoped that the Fair will have a representative live stock show. Representative Piatt, of Con necticut has introduced a resolu tion into the House urging the adoption of the joint resolution of Senator Scott, of West Vir ginia, for the appointment of a commission to, investigate the present pension laws and especi ally to report on the proposition to grant a service pension 01 $12 per month to all honorably dis charged Union soldiers who served not less than ninety days in the war of the rebellion, said pension to date from the time when the veteran entitled thereto reaches the age of $62 years. thus doing away with the present expensive, ' unequal, and slow process of adiusting pension claims. This strikes us as the most sensible and fairest propo sition that has ever been sub mitted on the subject of pensions, By all means let our own repre sentatives and congressmen do al in their power to pass this law. 1 ne agricultural colleges o the United States are , doing a great work for the country, They have funds and equipment estimated at $70,000,000, and an annjialinepineo t$ 1 o, 000. 000. , There are 3,000 men in the fac ulties and a student body o: nearly 50,000, Of these stu dents nearly 7,000 are studying agriculture alone. The expen ment stations employ 7,060 ex perts and issue some 400 publica tions annually. Congress appro piiated $100,000 to enable these colleges to make a suitable ex hibit of their work at the St, Louis World's Fair, and the character of this exhibit will be one of the topics discussed at the November convention of all the agricultural colleges of the coun try, together with the experi mental stations, which will be held in Washington City on November 17th, and the occasion will be one of especial interest to the agricultural department. Prof. A. C. True, director of ex perimental stations, has charge 01 the local arrangements and the attendance - will be large. Sixty-five colleges and sixty ex periment stations now hold mem bership in the association. About sixteen million pupils are enrolled in the public schools of the United States, being over twenty per cent, of the entire population of the country. The average daily attendance is over ten millions more than one in eight. In addition to these fig ures there are nearly one million pupils enrolled in private and parocmai scnoois. 1 his per centage of 20 per cent, is higher than any other county in the world, and would be higher yet, if more vigilance was exercised in the matter of immigration The bulk of the non-attendants being from the families of the re cent arrivals, particularly those from eastern Canada and southern Europe. This emphasises one fact, that the ignorance and illit eracy in 'this country is almost all imported, and demonstrates the necessity of larger facilities in our school rooms, and a closer enforcement of our compulsory school laws to stop the pollution of our population by foreign 1m migration and this to the great detriment of our children. Bear in mind this truth, that the cause of a nation's advancement is what it knows. "The age of the cathedral is the age of night; the school house is the coming of the dawn,'? Education is the driv-. ing wheel of civilization, and e hope cf the world is in the pth lie schools. Nxi. Monflav and to Tupgar i(Ki. D..

Portland is to have a week of spectacular performance in the play of Ben Hur. Thev are just finishing a four weeks run at the Grand Opera House in JSan Fran cisco. The Argonaut, opens its criticism of the play with the "ollowing: 4 'Whenever a big theatrical production is freely advertised without special mention in ad vance of the names of the com pany, we , are safe in assuming them to be nobodies. So it turns out with the 'Ben Hur' players." Two features are relied" upon to carry the play first, a chariot race, which lasts exactly one and one-half minutes, (ninety sec onds) and the fact that it is a re ligious play. It will certainly require a big showing of stage tableux to carry an audience through the tedious, long-drawa lines that fill in the two hours wait till the chariot race at the end of the fifth act. We have no doubt but the performance will be well patronized as it ap peals principally to non-theatre goers, whose curiosity is excited by the chariot race. That the company depeud for their patron age on this class of custom is seen in the fact that the country papers have been worked to the limit in a large amount of cheap advertising, paid in the "Courte sies of the profession.'.' A com pany that depends upon "bum ming" m its business department cannot be expected to be over scrupulous in rendering equiva lent to its customers for the pa tronage brought by such ques tionable methods. Additional Local. Mr. Fred Hunter, ot Salem, is visiting at the home of Dr. Cathey. Dr. E. J.'Thompson, of Indepen dence, took in the big game here yesterday. ' - W. E. Williams, of Airlie, stood on the side-lines, yesterday, and w atched his son , win the game. The Independence motor ran a epeeial-xip to the game yesterday, bringing two carloads of Indepen dence, Monmouth and Dallas peo ple. According to the custom of years past, Thanksgiving Day was ob served by a union service by the various churches of thia city. The service was held in the United Evangelical church. Rev. Green of the Congregational church, de livered the sermon, which was a genuine Thanksgiving discourse To appreciate our blessing, , we should compare our condition and advantages with those of other states and other lands. Oregoniane, above all others, should be filled with gratitude. Rousing music was furnished by a chorus com posed of singers from the various choirs of the city. Mrs. Carrick sang a solo, which was much ap preciated. A collection was taken, amounting to $8.25, which will be given to a needy family, in Cor vallis. 0. A. C.
