Jones, "Fair Play Jones." And all because Mr. Jones, who more or Ibbs needs Mr. Ballinger In his political bus : lnesB out In Washington has insisted that,, prejudice be kept out of the Investigation which Is being carried out by the Congressional Committee. Out In Washington tbey know Jones s Yakima JoneV in delicate refer; ence to the fact Of his residence on the speck on the , state map which goes by that title. Now Jones Is a young man and a good man into the bargain. In his official autoblogra nhv See Congressional Records'- he modestly refers t ot he 'fact that be has no personal interest, directly or indirectly, in any corporation whatever, Bave and except the two .shares he holds In the North Yaki ma Hortlclutural Union. He never acted as attorney for any sort o! a public service corporation, either, therefore nor for the world wouU be sustains Secretary Ballinger If he though that gentleman had been cap tured with the goods on.

He got a tehcher); certificate pnd taught h school anw worked in a harvest field and then wont to Chicago and tjuht In the night schools while he studied law by day. And at last, with a oei tiDcate of admission to the bar, he blcw into North Yakima, Washing ton in the fall of 1SS0, with no mon ey whatever.

Alderman delivered . his lec ture tast night to an attentive au dience in the Presbyterian church, his subject being "Chums, Chumps ami Gumps ". It was an address he had prepared to deliver befoio the County High School at Enterprise, hut on account of the delayed train service he could not reach the. 3 an.i at the solicitation of friends he cui K.ented to deliver it here, it wu.- un uddress that every parent should heai. Being a thorough school mru luul Intrested in school work he touched t:j)cn our high school problei.u and cited what other cities of thd state vere doing in their public schools.

Today time a.e 63. Prof. Alderman is the founder of the system known as the Lana coun tj high school system which la be cming immensely popular. During the past two years, Lane county bus 13 and Lynn county 10. Under tbi? bystem, when adopted by a wnty, l hi scholars in any part of the coun ty can attend any 12th grado high school and the county pays the school $40 per pupil attending from outside the district up to 20, for the next 20 students, $150 nnd in excess of this $12. This means that the best equipped and maintained high school draws the greatest number of pupils nnd rerelves the greatest am ount of outside monejr This system would undoubtedly bo adopted In Union county In the near future as it meets with little oppo sition by the voters of the county gen erally. This system makes it en tirely unnecessary to send pupils a way before they renrh the age of 16 and 17, which the Professor says Is J In 1907 the Merchants i o Oregon saved ove' $10,000 by carrying a part J of their Insurance in their own company, the Oregon J Merchants Mutual fire As- J t, surance Association, of Dayton, Oregon.
