As is well understood, the people of Oregon choose a new state superintendent of public instruction in 1910, The Republican party is so strong in Oregon that the nominee .at the hands of the peopld will doubtless be elected. 'jWA'tifat is not certain to be the case,' as the office has tremendous political powers of appointment and control over taxation. , , . , , If an. unfit man or a representative of the old unprogres sivrmonb'pollstic school machine were put up he micjht be defeated. Naturally 'the school teachc rs are interested, and while not always voters they possess, intelligence and are dis posed lo' employ It, On March 10th Chas; H, -Jones of this city sent out a circular asking county school' superintendents toname their choice for state superintendent, Of the 34 county superintendents, 31 replied and ex pressed a choice, naming candidates as follews: . L R. Alderman, of the state university, Pi L Campbell, of the state university, "J. A'. CHufohlll, city superintendent of Baker City, "Chas. H. Jones, editor of the Oregon Teachers Monthly, ' E'.'D. Ressler, prosident of the Monmouth state normal, R. F. Robinson, county superintendent Multnomah county, County Superintendent Robinson, who has for some time been an active candidate for state superintendent, charges that Editor Jones is introduc'ng politics into the peaceful waters of educational affairs in Oregon where such a thing was never known. , Mr, Robinson believes that the vocation of teachers Is teaching, and not politics, The Ideas of cliques, cabals and log-rolling as has been 'practiced by low-down Portland politicians gives him the horrors. , Robinson says Jones is out on still-hunt, and Jones says Robinson has the lead of all the rest on the still-hunt game for the place, Jones says Robinson has been going all over the state at state expense as superintendent of the Oregon educational exhibit at Seattle, Jones proposes to go right ahead and has done all that is necessary to give the teachers of the whole state a chance to express themsolves, He is taking a straw vote of all the teachers in the state and will publish In his September number who the teachers would have for their candidate. Of course, that will not sottle the matter, as the real nom ination can only be made at the primaries in August of the year 1910, In the meantime it should be said that all the gentlemen named arc men of high character and qualifiecTto do super intendent of public instruction, 'Mr .Robinson's little bout with Mr, Jones will help adver tise him and the whole proportion so that the teachers and whole body of voters will have a better understanding, c BUILDING UP FOR SALEM A BEAUTIFUL PARK SYSTEM. The city council Is doing somo good work to build on a broader scale for the boautification of the Capital City, For somo years 'there has been kept up a park board com posed of three citizens ,who with small appropriation have done good Work on Willson Avenue and Marion Square, Mr, Wm, Manning, Mr, J. M, Lawronce and Mrs, D, J, Fry have taken a deop interest in the matter and given time generously and intelligently, The result Is that the beautiful plat of native trees known as Marion Square has been preserved and improved with walks, a fountain and a bandstand, It is a popular open-air assemblage place and a resting and breathing place for hundreds (luring all seasons of the year, Willson venue has also been well cared for, and a foun tain, flowers and shrubbery have been generously donated v by private citizens. Wm, Manning as chairman of the park board has given the avenue constant loving care and attention, It Is today the finest space of ground in the state and a great credit to the capital of the state. There Is not a nobler or more beautiful collection of tre natural to the soil than can be found on that space of ground, But the name "Avonuo" displays an Impoverishment of CAPITAL NATIONAL BANK J, H.

OMItrrV Ory FIR FLETCHER'S OASTORIA the English language of which our city should not be. guilty. The name should be changed to Willson Park, Willson Place, or simply Willson Plaza keeping the name of the founder, It is not an avenue, and the word plaza jwould be a slight . tribute to the Spanish disouverers of the 'Pacific coast. The park committee of the city council has other stops of p.gress in view and have taken a number of forward , stripes, At a meeting of the park committee some time ago a con- -tract was entered into with Mr, Chace, a Portland landscape gardner, to make a survey of Willson Plaza, The intention is to have Mr, Chace, who was employed to plan decoration and landscaping of the Eugene depot sur roundings, make a design for permanent improvement. This design includes the state house grounds, Willson Plaza, the postoffice square-, the courthouse square and the parking around all those premises, The city will try to secure the co-operation of the county, state and federal authorities, and have a design mado for the whole from the standpoint of accomplishing one grand effect. This is our duty as a r;ity toward the rest of the state, that the Capital City may present that beautiful and digni fied appearance which inspires respect and admiration from all visitors, Mr, Chace and the park committee have had a confer ence with the county judge, and he is very favorable to the proposition of including the courthouse square, Postmaster Farrar has also been seen and will work to secure the co-operation of the treasury department, There has been but little planting done on the postoffice square and he thinks there will be no toruble to get the fed eral authorities to Co-operate in one grand sohenje of beauty. The courthouse is a beautiful building of the Italian ren naisance style of architecture, and Judge Bushey says the people of the whole county have an affectjonate regard for the building, But it stands up like a naked man on a dry goods box, and landscape gardening to relieve the nakedness would be very effective, Half a dozen fine palms set up on the platforms of th,e big staircases approaching from east and west would look fine. The park committee of the city council has used up all the funds available from the budget for city park purposes, but will try to find other resources, They have secured options on about thirty acres of the Falrmount Hill property and will submit the matter to a vote of the people as soon as possible to purchase that property for a park. There seems to be an unanimous sentiment in favor of securing a park on that hill, which is as beautifully located as the Portland Heights, Whoever has not seen a su iset from Fairmount Hill has a treat in store. The natural forests up the.'e should be preserved for a . park by the present generation, The very liberal offers of public spirited men like Mr, El worthy and-Mr, Brown should be accepted, and will be. Let us consider what are the two greatest assets for the beautifying of this city, They are what? Paving our wide streets and preserving our beautiful trees. Only a few days ago some magnificent fir trees in the street on the hill soutli of the creek were slaughtered, Firs and oaks that were a century growing to stately beauty and adorn the whole city are cut down in an hour. Have we" no interest in preserving the great natural beauty of our city and adding thereto? Is it not the greatest real estate and financial asset we have to make Salem the most beautiful city on the Pacific coast? Forestry is to be taught In our public schools, and the future city should have a well-located park in each section of the city. There should be a fine park planned for East Salem and one for North Salem, as well as South Salem, Let the good work of preserving and extending our parks be sustained by the people and make Salem the City Beautiful.
