In tact additional quarters hava been secured. Tbis, right at the beginning of school emphasizes the (act that although tbe new school bouse baa scarcely been completed, the town has already outgrown It. If the greatest efficiency la to be obtained, schools should be under one roof, unless it be that the high school be separate. It sceems as though a union high school is about due or else portable school buildings will be necessary. The situation con fronts us and cannot be dodged. A MIGHTY DIFFERENCE There Is a mighty difference In the measure of culpability of a cheap, sharp little ward politician attempt ing to mislead the public by distor tion and misrepresentation and a like distortion and misrepresentation by a Presidential candidate, says the New York Sun. No one places any confidence in the professional ward politician. He may do or say anything to carry a point and little Importance attaches to It. The reason is that men do not look In his direction for character, and startling utterances without charac ter do not make a ripple in the com munity. But tbe presidential candidate, the actual nominee of a great party, stands out with us as a great figure, a man of rock-ribbed character, a man of superb dignity, to whom lit tle acts, small petty acts, the acts of the sharp little ward politician in matters political, would be abhor rent and impossible. Because of this Ideal of the man selected by his party for the first office In the land, because of this ideal which mirrors the composite of our presidents from Washington to Wilson, it Is shocking to see Mr. Cox descend to demagogic levels in his fight for election. In what he has said of Republican campaign funds the brazen, bluant way he baa said it has written him down as a person wholly unfit to be president of these United States; has written him down as a man ready to delude and mislead that he may gain advantage over hlg opponent In the presidential race; has written him down as Indifferent to facts am to the verities of the situation; has written him down as r. sharp little man without bigness of soul, bigness of vision or appreciation of the great role he Is playing as the nominee of a great political party for president of the United States. The .facts as disclosed before the Kenyon campaign committee annihi late the Cox charges of the republi can corruption fund; the facts show that the money so far received by the republican campaign committe is only a trifle over a million dollars; and getting It in small contributions. as Mr. Hays hopes to do. Is not big with promise for even the necessary amount to run a national political campaign. No one knows better the falsity of the "slush fund" charges he has beon making that Governor Cox himself: no one knows better than he that the quota figures of the drive rtial mean little in truth; no one knows better than he, a shrewd business man. that it isn't within the bounds of possibility to raise fifteen millions of dollars in small contributions for campaign purposes: no one knows better that he that the attitude of the whole country in the matter of campaign contributions for boh oar. lea has always been "Let New York Pay," and knowing this his slush fund accusations were downright dis- nonest. THE CASE Or PENDER In ThttruAa vm nHvnhH !... v, .ni..uu k . 1 1 w was an account of the efforts being maaa to tree John A. Pender who is serving a lifo term e.nmice for the murder of Mm TiaUv w.v.,mun - - . J , ... . ... u u U.I U her 6 year old son. A paragraph of ma urucie was "in tne mvinwulle those who have endeavored to obtain a fair deal for Pender yesterday were Dlannlne to mnpantratt offnita a! the various social workers so that a uarrage oi argument may be placea before the governor." The inference of the Oregenlan Is . that Pender did not havo a fair deal, OtherWiHfl It wnilM tint have rr. tloned "fair deal," and such Infer ence ig not just to tne courts and Juries before whom Pender was tried. If the Oregon lan believes Pender to be innocent, It becomes the duty of that great newspaper to do iu utmost to free Pender and stir up public sentiment so that the "bar rage" may be laid before the gover nor. HoWftVftr thA Infarann.. Pender did not havo a sguare deu i an attempt to poison the minds of the public and such utterances ure unworthy of any paper, l .rge ot small. The Mist asks fie Orogonlan: wherein did not PenHor have a "fair aeaif Columbia ccur.ty has been accused by the Oregonlan as has the 24 men who sat on the juries. BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS Tho paving Is now complete mrougn nouiion and in a few weeks, will be completed through to ScaD- pooso. In the course of a day, hun- areas oi autos win pass along the highway. Some of them will be go ing at the speed allowed on county roads, viz: 30 miles. Others will be traveling slower and some will go faster. Where the highway crosses the county road leading through Houlton or West St. Helens, the view is obscured by the Williams building on the south and store building on the north. The auto coming from eithor direction, cannot see tho auto coming from St. Helens, headed west, or the auto going east. There's a good chance for a ser ious accident here unless care is used and the Mist would suggest to the mayor and council that they hava signs placed, say 200 feet north anu south on tbe highway and the same distance on the county road, caution ing the autolst to drive at a speed not to exceed 10 miles per hour. It Is better to be safe than sorry. Crops In Wasco county aren't worrying the farmers there this sea son, for the horn of plenty seenis to have been turned upside down in that section, it one Is to Judge by a survey just completed. The county will produce 1.020,021 bushels of wheat this year. avraglng 22 bush els to the acre, as compared with 18 in 1)1 . Alfalfa will average 2 4 tons to the acre. There are 1311 acres planted. Barley will yield 4 8 bushels to tbe acre or & total of 15. 664 bushels. The wool clip will total 1.000,000 pounds. m The Mist hopes that the citlxens oi Clatskanle and the Nehalem valley will be successful in having tbe Mist- Clatskanie road designated as a post road. The Importance of tbe road Is apparent and since it accommodates much state traffic, being the connect ing link on the Inland route. It seems right and proper that It should have some aid except that which Is levies on the district taxpayers. All cit izens of tbe county should join with tbelr Clatskanle neighbors in boost ing this proposition. Some sinful and ungodly wretch. with no fear In his hart for the here after nor love in his heart for the public welfare, almost got his hands on tbe editorial throat of the t'lala- kanie Chief the other day. So. at least, tht-t pr.per Infers in Its last Is sue. Heroic measures were resorted to. however, and the said s. w. was thwarted. -It Is reported that the pa per has been sold to Norman Merrill and O. G. Evansn. Mrs. Hyde re maining as editor and Mr. Bajllts retiring. Srie&klne nf thA nnndtrwnl anntht of voters, both democratic and re publican, caused Jadson Weed to be come reminiscent and he stated that tne situation now is just about like it was when Bryan and McKlnley had their race. The republicans didn't get thoroughly aroused until about a month before election but they made a rushing finish. ' A ride along the Nehalem valley roads and through thA rtr fnr.it. of the Lower Nehalem over tho In. land route will convert any one to tne necessity of saving a few of the big trees and beautiful spots alona the road if Oregon Is to continue to be attractive to the tourist. What If the republicans do have $15,000,000 campaign fund? It would be far cheaper for them to con tribute ten times this amount than '.o have a continuance of the present administration for another feur years. Republicans wouldn't need so large a campaign fund it they were as free with tho fmnking privilege as some high personages In Washington are. Minneapolis Tribune.
