GEARIN'S GLOATING.
Senator Gearin's appeal to the vot
rs last evening to elect Mr. Bryan be
cause he is a democrat, must have ap
pealed as strongly to his many repub
Mean hearers to support Mr. Taft be
cause he Is a republican. That speech
would have surprised Governor Cham
berlaln had he been present. "Our
George" would never have gloated over
the possible defeat of Governor Hughes
of New York; who has stood for
. everything that has been pure in poll
tics. Who has stood out against the
machine politltsof his own party, has
put the gamblers out of business, and
Is now in the midst of one of the great
est fights for pure politics that hag
ever been waged In this country, and
to hear a man with the ability of Sen
ator Qearln gloating over the posslblll
,ty of his defeat simply because Mr.
Hughes Is a republican, Is not In keep.
' Inir with the solrlt of th mm t-
Hughes will in all probability be de
feated, but if he la it will be because
New York democrats will vote their
ticket straight, playing partisan poli
tics instead of helping to hold up the
hands of one who dared to do his duty.
Every voter lo the state of New York
knows that Mr. Hughes is being fought
. by the machine politicians of both
parties, to the bitter end. They know
that Hughes I receiving the combined
opposition of every gambler and sa-
loon keeper In the great state, the
only hope for his success lies In the
JJecent people of that great common
wealth rising n masse, Irrespective of
party line-' It Is evident that if all
the democrats In New York are as
partisan as the speaker last evening,
there Is little hope for Mr. Hughes,
and we presume they are. The New
York World a few days conceded the
tate of. New York to Mr. Taft, but es
timated Mr. Hushes' defeat, )y nearly
100,090. ' , li ".i, ;. U"' '
Upon the question of guaranteed
bank deposits, the bankers of. the
country are opposed to both republi
can and democratic platforms. The
republican favoring postal savings
banks, the democratic favoring the
government guaranteeing tho deposits.
From a practical standpoint both par
tite are agreed upon the principle, the
only difference being in execution, sim
ply a question of policy, either of
Which would secure the depositor.
The Normal school question will be
one that will receive consideration in
the coming legislature. It has never
been satisfactory to all of our people.
It possibly never will be settled satis
factory to all. The state Normal school
board met this week In Salem, but
Is not a unit on policy and there will
be two reports, a majority, favoring
the maintenance f the three schools
and the minority favoring one, or two
at the most. The majority of the
board recommend the expenditure of
$310,000 to be expended equally be
tween the schools at Weston, Mon
mouth and Ashland. Politics from the
atart has cursed our Normal school
system in this state. Here we have
three schools at present. What would
. one expect from such a board but the
maintenance of all three, and In
creased appropriations for each. Three
politicians, the governor, secretary of
state and state school superintendent.
They would not dare favor abolishing
any one of the present schools. Su
perintendent Ackerman knows better,
and stated that if he were establish
ing a Normal school policy, he would
maintain only one school, but since
there are three, be believes it beet to
continue them. We publish the entire
Conditions are such that our people
must awaken to the fact of the neces
sity of never letting another year pass
without securing a lecture1 course.
Evidently, the moving picture show,
with its nightly performances, are
here to stay and must be reckoned
with as an educational factor. Much
might be said pro and con, but every
one on calm reflection, must admit
that an organized effort should re
sult in an attempt to offer occasional
ly, through the winter season, an op
portunity whereby our, people could
hear and come In touch with the best
thought of the land. Experience has
demonstrated that the lecture course
covers this field ' best, for the least
money. It is too late for this season,
but another should not be allowed to
pass. In this same connection we are
sleeping on an opportunity to secure
the first and for many years the only
Chautauqua in eastern Oregon. Here
is a grand opportunity. All that Is
lacking is the leader,, but it looks as
though we have none. Some of these
fine morning we will all be at the de
pot boarding a special train to some
Chautauqua In some neighboring city.
ent conditions, these special trains
should be headed for La Grande. The
field Is here. It is simply a question
as to who will occupy it first.
'
While this rain will delay the beet
and apple harvest a few days, It Ih re
celved with Joy by the farmers and
stockgrowers generally. It means the
thousands of acres of fall sown grain
will get an excellent start before win
ter, and the Increased pasturage means
that our cattle and horses on a thous
and hills will go Into the 'winter In
prime condition. A few days of rain
and then a few weeks of good weather
will mean thousands of dollars to the
never-failing Grande Ronde.
Mr. Taft in one of his Ohio speeches
this week, as a side remark, must of
necessity made Mrs. Dunlway, of this
state, and other woman suffrage lead
ers, happy. "My dear children, you
don't vote now, but some day you will,
and I hope that when you do the girls
will vote as well as the boys."
