Aping after the "heavy" lead ers in the editoral columns of the Port land papers, the Eagle incubated this "knock" in its last week's issue: "'Weston has reason to be proud of its state normal school basket ball team. With five victories won from sturdy foe men put in the field by Pendleton and Walla Walla, and no defeats, Weston's title to the Inland Empire champion ship is beyond dispute. The triumph is a noteworthy one for a town of 1000 people,' says the Weston Leader. The Eagle wishes to retract whatever unkind things it has said about the normal school. The Btate can well afford to pay the trifling sum of $12,500 a year for maintenance in order that Weston's title to the Inland Empire basket ball championship be maintained, to say nothing of the dozen or so graduates that are incidentally turned off every year." If the Eagle man would leave off masticating sour dough biscuits the effects of his indigestion would not be smudged over everything he writes. He should tack up the motto "Live and Let Live" over his desk and let a bit of sunshine into the dark crevices of his envious nature. Weston has the normal school, one of the two state institutions located outside of the hogdpm, other wise known as Western Oregon, and to say the least, it looks decidedly con densed and narrow for a country news paper to lend its mite no matter how insignificant and trifling small it may be toward hammering in unison with the porkish squeal that comes from west of the Cascades. Drop the bone, brother, drop the bone Cheer up, and if you cannot say anything good for the insti tution because it happens to be located in a town other than Milton, say nothing. It is practically an assured fact that at least 75 per cent of the population of the state will visit the Lewis and Clark fair at Portland during the next eight months, says the La Grande observer. It lies to a very great extent with the advertising the businessmen do whether or not these people buy their outfits prior to going, or wait until they reach Portlaud to make their purchases. The people can be supplied with their needs at home much cheaper than they can in the crowded big stores of the metropo lis, but it is up to the merchants to make this plain. Commenting on the same subject the Union Republican says Portland is figuring on cleaning up the state trade during the Lewis and Clark fair, and the country merchant must- be up and duiu to prevent it. One of the ways to keep this trade at home is through the use of printer's ink. Portland is using it even now, and will use more during the exposition. The aggressive country merchants all over the state will seek to hold home trade. With irritating assurance, the Port land papers continue to refer to the nor mal schools as "local high schools" and "grafts upon the state." It is unlikely that the assertive editors ever set foot inside one of these institutions, yet their powerful influence is devoted to tearing down the earnest work of others. Per haps the normal schools are not quite up to the standard of those in other states; they can scarcely be when every two years they must tremblingly beg for their very existence, like a dog for a bone. Yet the Leader knows that the State Normal School at Weston fulfills its function as such to the best advantage possible with the limited means at its command. And whoever asserts that it is merely a local high school graft upon the state, lies in the croaking throat of him! Weston Leader. The physician in attendance at a municipal lodging bouse in Chicago has Within the past year been making a care ful inquiry into the history of tramps who have become the city's guests. He has found that a large proportion of the tramps give a history of having been employed in factories or in other de liberating occupations in boyhood. Our official modern life is making multitudes of human wrecks, one class of whom is represented by the homeless, friendless, disheartened men known as tramps. Fortunate, indeed are the boys and girls who live in country homes and have the opportunity of growing up in contact with nature. A boy died in a New York schoolroom after being taunted on hia failure to pass an examination. The doctor said the lad had a weak heart. And it may be added that his taunters had weak heads. The Springfield, Mass., Republican refers to Alfred Austin's sonnet on Shakespeare as "Alfred Austin's Best." Sounds like an advertisement of ham.
