WILLIAM RKLL,
Observer
There are indications that Car
ran a has not as much Hen.se as his
pictures lit tho newspapers, with his
flowing whiskers, would Indicate. He
seems to resent the occupation by
the United Suites of Mexican terri
tory, and phins are said to bo afoot
for uniting tho federals and rebels
against this country. Statesman,
(Salem).
If Roosevelt had been president
lie would have handled the situation
different to the dilltory luetics of
President Wilson and tho Mexicans
would have respected t lie Stars and
Stripes long before this. This is con.
ceded by most everybody. Hut hav
ing been forced Into war with that
country, we cannot say that we re
regrot it, as It was only a question of
time when this .unfortunate event
would happen. This means the an
nexation of Mexico and a forcible re
minder to other South American re
publics that they must cease repeat
ed revolutions. Wo look upan war
with Mexico as a step toward civiliz
ing that and neighboring republics,
where life and property must be re
spected. Tillamook Headlight.
However, this again is hind-sight.
Unless a miracle now occurs, the
the country Is in for a pacification of
Mexico an expensive, destructive,
and altogether thankless job. It will
Hurely take months. It may tako
years. It also seems probable that
with our financial interests tremend
ous pressure will be brought to bear
upon the administration to annex
Mexico, which In twenty-four hours
would double tho value of properties.
Only time of course can tell.
Meanwhile there is some satisfac
tion In having a man In the White
House whose policy can only be
criticised because It Is placed upon
too high a plane. With theory re
placed by action, there Is reason to
believe t hat the president will pro
ceed with energy and dispatch to
terminate hostilities at the earliest
moment. Med ford Sun.
CARRAN, S OK.II-:T
The letter from Carnumi, the
rebel chief, to President Wilson Is
only natural and was to be expected.
( 'a r ran xa himself Is intensely patri
otic, and while a man of ambition,
bis ambit ion Is undoubtedly second
to bis love of country. Close stud
ents of the situation In Mexico un
hesitatingly slate that continued ag
gression by this country will find a
.Hinited Mexico, because of t he In
tense hat red all Mexico lias for
America and Americans. Carranza's
protest is undoubtedly the beginning
of diplomat ie correspondence wit h
the end in view that In the eeut of
elimination of lluerta, Cairana and
the constitutionalists will be placed
In powiT. This won hi probably be
Carr.in.a's price for neutrality in

The second local institute for this
ear met in Yoncalla, Saturday, April
j The morning session was opened
by Supt. O. C. Rrown In bis cheer-
ful way making each teacher feel
I glad that he was there. There was
I a good representation of local teach
j ers and a very good representation
from the mint hern part of the county.
The superintendent had met with dif
ficulty In securing Instructors but
as the day passed and each teacher
took an active part these troubles
were forgotten.
.The opening subject was "Arith
metic" bv W. H. Wriebt. nrlncioal
i of Yoncalla school, lie said in part:
"The method is not the main thing
In teaching the subject of arithmetic,
but the result Is what we are working
for. The subject should bo taught
as a connected whole." This subject
; w as ably handled calling forth an
argument on the question of normal
school training for teachers.
The fart her carr lug out of the
program was "Primary Reading" by
Supenisor K. H. lledrlrk. This was
highly instructive and .helpful. Mr.
Hedrb k has prepared and published
a manual on t bis subject w hlch Is
very helpful indeed.
K, C. I'ltpatri. k. principal Oef
Roseburg high s hool introduced the
discussion on " Preparat ton for t he
High School". Tho f.o-i that the
pi; pils are not as w ell prepared as
they should bo to do effbient work
was clearly shown. The subjMt w;w
farther discussed by Mr. powers, of
Oakland, and Supervisor Hunting
ton. At the cloo of this the tl
tute adjourned until one thirty.
Tho Parent-Teachers Association
had prepared a splendid dinner and
of all the numbers on the program
for the day this was the most heartl.
ly enjoyed.
The afternoon session opened with
the following program by the Yon-j
calla high school: j
Song "In Dear Old Georgia," by
the Misses Peterson, Hummel and
Soderstrom. j
Recitation The Domestic Tempest
Ruth Peterson. 1
(ierman Song Selma """irnel
Recitation Little Blossom
Olga Soderstro.
These numbers were thoroughly
enjoyed by all present.
A goodly number of tho patrons
of the district were present in the
afternoon. The teachers' part of the
program began with Rural Super
visor Reuj. Huntington who gave in!
brief the life history and success of
the rural school supervision not
only In our own state but in Kan
sas. When he had finished there
w as nothing farther that could be
added, so completely had he covered
the subject.
M'iss Montana Hastings, of the ed
ucational department of the U. of O.
gave an address on "Kducatlonal
Movement a in Oregon". Miss Hast
ings Is a favorite with the teachers
of Douglas county and she was re
ceived with applause. In the course
of her address she dwelt on the four
things that, if continued in the same
way they have been In the past, will
bring marvelous progress In school
work. These were: Live Parent
Teachers Associations, Physical
Training. 1. e. : proper piny ground
appartatus; Industrial Clubs, and to
provide for a more efficient super
vision of the county and state.
