EXPENSIVE DIGNITY
According to the U S census
there were in Baker couuty Ore
gon io 1900 children between 4
and 20 year of age, 4419. The
Baker City Democrat of July 18
gives the number of persons of
school age now in that county at
5,34 H. This indicates a gain of
929 iu five years, an increase of
21 percent in the five years, or a
little over four per cent per year

county whose principal emyloy
ments aro gold mining and
slock raising on the ranges
But our neighbor should rem
ember, that by the annexation
of the Panhandle, since the
census wss taken in 1900, Baker
Oounty acquired 1,681 Union
county people, about 450 child
ren of school age which explains
the seemingly large increase of
children in a county where
bachelors abound, and so little
encouragement is held out for
the immigration of marriageable
misses that while maje school
teachers are paid, an average of
$62.75 per month, female teaeh
ees are paid but $48.47 per
month for the same service, and
it is a safe assertion to make,
that the women do better work
than men do. Baker county how
ever is not the only connty in
Oregon that recognizes the pre
rogative of breeches, and pays
the wearers thereof some $19 a
month mere than is psid for the
same service to class of workers
that can keep their faced clean
without the aesif tance of a bar
ber and do not have to wear
forked garments. The only
reason for this discrimination
against the women teachers is
that man's dignity is so lacking
in the quality of self sustainauce
that he ha to expend about $20
per mouth to Weep it noticeable.
The query is, of what value to
the cause of education is this
masculine dignity?
. Is it necessary that there be
paid out of the common school
fund of Union and Baker coun
ties something like $900 per
mouth to keep alive the notion,
we have inherited from our
savage anteitors iu the woods
of Germany or oaves of England
that mau has a larger stock of
dignity to keep up than women,
If the wearers of breeohers feel
that there is a necessity for
having our boys taught that
they have more natural daguity
than girls, it would be much

ebeaper to send them to some
Indian reserve, and place them
under the instruction of Indian
chiefs, where theory, of "big
Indian me" can be taught ia sll
original vigor and illustrated by
practice, showing all its beau
ties and influences. If we
must retrograde to the ideas of
savagery let us take the cheap
est route and go directly to the
savages for onr instructors.
But it is claimed that it costs
a man more to live than a wo
meu. The truth is that it uoes
cost many meu more to
live than it does most women.
The cause of this difference is
not that it costs a man more to
keep up a manly dignity than
it does a woman to maintain a
womanly deportment but the
difference in the expense of
man from that of a woman in
making her own living is be
cause a large number of men
have expensive habits that wo
men do not bave. Franklin
remarked a long time ago that
"That i r nnara iviam Ia oinriAr
a w uara iu ua v i nu''lll t
me vice than to raiss three
children". It is man's vices, not
his dignity that makes him on
a general average a more expen
sive being than woman.
The Fish and Game Associa
tion have placed a deputy in the

in this vicinity, and it is sate to
say that any person found shoot
ing birds out of season will ha e
a few things to explain before
they will have an opportunity
to enjoy the fruits of their ill
gotton game. It will be a part
of the duty of this officer to ask
to see the license of all persons
found hunting.
