THE CHILDREN'S PARADE.
The most inspiring feature of the carnival
"was the children's parade, on Thursday.
Nearly one thousand school hoys and girls
participated in this demonstration of Kose
burg's school strength. They were an order
ly group and made a splendid impression on
the visitors and all who saw them. In the
school children of this country rests the hope
of the future of our nation. They are tin
men and women of tomorrow. In their
training and education the safety and per
petuity of our institutions is lodged. And
after viewing them in parade and otherwise
and knowing that the same kind of training
and influences prevail throughout the coun
try one must feel that they will guard well
the trust that will soon he reposed in them.
THE GRAND FINALE.
A diamond dealer committed suicide over
business worries. We would too if we had
to care for many diamonds.
Kgypt has started a ltaek-to-the-farm
movement. She must have heard about Ore

The only people that we know of that did
not get to see or enjoy the carnival were the
newspaper men. They had to stay in their
plants all day long and see that the paper
was made ready and the news delivered to
the readers.
We always thought that we would like to
have a motorcycle till we saw the races this
afternoon. But no more for us. We wouldn't
take any chances of holding to the handle
bars.
Tonight will be turned over to fun. No
one with a serious thought or purpose will
be permitted on the streets. Kven such staid
individuals as the city "dads" will put away
their burdens of looking after the city and
will join in the festivity and joy. There
will be hundreds of people on the streets
bent on innocent mischief. It is understood
that the entire police force of the city have
been advised to keep hands off except where
a breach of the peace has been committed.
Ju any event those who keep themselves
within the hounds and do not go to any ex
treme will not he molested in their enjoy
ing the last night of tlie carnival. Jlorns
will add to the din of voices, confetti will
make over the streets and mirth and merri
ment will reign supreme. Everyone is ex
peeted to have a good time. If any one does
not he has no one to blame but himself.

U'RENISM.
Yesterday the Orange, by a vote of 90 to 5,
adopted a resolution scoring Single Tax and
taking a slap at U'Uen, the father of the
idea in this state. When the resolution was
presented it came up for open discussion
and U'lien himself demanded the floor. lie
Rpoke for twenty minutes and then as speak
ers were limited to five minutes each he beg
ged for more time. It was granted him and
be spoke for twenty minutes more. After
bis talk the resolution was finally adopted
as introduced by the vote recorded above.
This should have been sufficient for this
self-imposed law-maker and law-giver and
savior of the state of Oregon. But in keep
ing with his usual dishonorable tactics he
waited till three o'clock this morning, w hen
most of the delegates that had voted on the
resolution had dispersed, ami then he went
out and got a number of delegates to come
in and a motion was made expunging from
tin; resolution such things as were the ex
pression of the Orange on their disapproval
of U'Keii. This motion was carried by a
vote of 'J7 to !. There ought not to be much
consolation to l"Ken in this vote, but to
such an unscrupulous man as he it means
exoneration. Hut to the O rangers whom he
fooled and played with it spells hostility.
.Ami the Grangers will remember it this fall
when they arc called upon to vote on
U'lv'ell's pet theory Single Tax. Let every'
Granger beware of the Single Tax. It is
the most pernicious piece of h poei itical
legislation that has r Keen initiated in
Oregon. It is dangerous to ecrv man orj
woman in the state of Oregon, lie he hank
