One of the prettiest tributes to the high standard of citizenship in Un!on county was the vote polled on the pro-r position for a county high school tax, for it shows that the people here are anxious to have"the children have the best in the way of education. It shows that a few dollars shall not stand in the way of advanced learning and the Grande Ronde child. It shows al so that there Is a desire upon the part of the people to gain for Union county the reputation of having the best Bchoolj in the state of Oregon. All of then thlneB ttv fee! good and make him more appreciative of this great county as a place to live In. ' With the county high school tax ft will be possible to formulate a school training for every child in the county whether lie lives in a town or the most remote district, and the expense of tui tion which was heretofore a barrier In some cases has been wiped away. . THE TRUTH. In sizing up the election returns edi torially the Portland Oregonian speaks a few words about the liquor proposi tion that have a very truthful ring. Here they are: The most momentous issues of the campaign were centered in the initia tive and referendum measures. They contained matters fraught with great consequence to the public. It is too early at this writing to say what has happened In all the measures; yet The Oregonian is gratified to observe that for the moBt part its advice as to these measures appears to have been follow ed. Prohibition would have been a sad mistake for Oregon. We have escaped its menace for the present Yet we shall have it again and again unless theproblem of the saloon is solved, at least measurably, in Portland and throughout Oregon. If the saloon ele ment fancies that it has won a vic tory, It is grossly mistaken. The peo ple who vote down prohibition, ofr the most part have no traffic with any saloon. They regard it as an unmiti gated evil and would abolish it ut terly if it could be done without the substitution of some greater nui sance or greater evil. It is up to the Greater Home Rule Association to show its good faith by carrying for ward the movement for the improve ment, of the conditions under which liquor may be sold, for the elimina tion of the dive, and the ostracism of the rowdy and lawless saloonkeeper. These are things that must be done. Yes, Baker county is truly Demo craticalong with New York. Ohio, Massachusetts, and but that's enough. Union county la not nearly bo bad, for he did elect mostly . republicans. A Democrat in Chauncey Depew's GEORGE PALME B, Pres. F. i. HOLMES, Ylce-Prti.

Our. farm n in- clustry is not developing as it should because not enough money la espund- ed for the farm life to enable it to keep pace with the town life." - Farmers constitute nearly a third of the country's commerce; but of the money that the country spendd on public improvements what proportion goes directly to the bettering of the farm? Contrast the amount borrowed by cities for street Improvements with the amount borrowed to improve the country roads. , To make farm ife more attractive by quoting from Mr. Wordsworth's ap preciations of Nature and by distrib uting domestic-science literature, that-j shows how to nourish the hired man worthy ambition; but the sordid factn is that making the farm more attrac tive, Is going to take money. Rural mall deljvery, telephones and automo biles have added to the attractiveness of country life; and they have cost bomething too. How would the city man enjoy an annual appropriation, of thirty-seven dollars a mile for street Improvements and a recom mendation to read Wads worth T ; Good country roads will add more to ; the farm economically and so cially than almost any other one thing.-If a city were in like position It would as a matter of course, borrow the money and make the improve ments. Farmers are entitled to use about a third of the country's credit. Whatever amount of credit they use for Intelligent road improvement will prove, a good investment. Saturday Evening Post. A CE5TURI OF BALLOONING. Philadelphia was considerably ex cited in 1784 not that that was the last time either. A project was then afoot to Bend up a monster baloon, sixty feet high. The first ascensions In France had been made the year before and the new art excited men's Imaginations. Philadelphia was told that by aerial navigation the waste places of the earth might soon be made accessible; plages and sieges would lose some of their inconvenience when a well-to-do citizen could simply in flate his gasbag and Ball away; com munication would be quicker and sur er; dispatch boats, hitched to bal loons, might be drawn at lightning speed. We do" not find Just how far this Philadelphia baloon sailed; but It came almost as near crossing the At lantic as Mr. Wellman's latest dirigi ble did, and as a dependable means of travel It could not have been far be hind Count Zeppelin's monsters.

About the time Philadelphia sent up her first balloon an exceedingly alert and inquisitive American mentioned incidentally in the postscript of a let ter from Europe that one James Watt had made some improvements on the steam engines which were attracting quite a little attention among sci entists. Airships may still be inter esting toys when Borne discovery made year before last, which hasn't yet got Into the newspapers, is multiply ing the world's power.
