THE SEKIOUS SENATOR Elsewhere In the Observer appears a communication from the pen of Senator Turnr Oliver. By reading it carefully one can easily understand that the learned senator la not only using a hemorrhage of words to Jus tify his acta In the legislature, but that he Is also laying aside modesty by "tooting his own horn." According to the solon his Btanding in both the annate and the house was "A-l." Thie may be true but he did not add that this particular legisla ture as L whole waa so much like a bunch of rabbits that "a standing" among the members does not count for a great deal with the common people. In enumerating the different bills he "fathered' the senator demands respect for them and, while not ad mitting some, of them bore directly upon his private law practice, he does ( contend they have merit. It will be noticed he refers to a bill which he ' was requested by the attorney g;n i eral to draft relative to an escheat case, yet two hours after Senator Ol iver had eent the' communication to this office for publication a telegraphic report from Salem Informed the Ob server that Governor West had vetoed this particular bill.

He may not have done so In this particular instance, but if he did then Attorney General Crowford is occupying a peculiar po sition telling Oliver to draft such a bill and advising Governor Wcet to veto the same measure. It will be re membered that Senator Oliver and Governor West campaigned the state together, therefore It stands to rea son had the governor seen any merit or justice whatever in the bill he would have given his traveling com panion, Senator Oliver, the best of a doubt and let the bill go through. But he did not, and the Bolon from Union county is offered to face a veto on his pet measure from a governor whom he h-Iped make. The normal bill mentioned by the senator needs no comment. Any boy from the La Grande high school Is sufficiently posted on state politics to realize that at this particular time there is absolutely no chance for any state nprmal to be coined, consider ing the redhot. fight that has been on over normals in Oregon for the last four years. It was worse than child's play and a squandering of time to force such an issue, and that Is the leason the senator got no "backing from home." His mention of the Cochran boys and fees for lawyers does not Inter est this paper. If there Is a fight be tween th: legal fraternity and there Is any danger of trailing ethics In the dust, aa between the senator and the Cochran boys we have no doubt the latter will be able to care for them selves. The Morrison escheat case always seemed to us a case that was far fetch ed, but that is not the question at present. The question is whether a state senator is Justified In practic ing law before a legislature on the people's time, When Senator Oliver speaks of any personal Ul-f;elln.g toward himself he is knowingly mistaken, tor as a citi zen and a neighbor he is held in high esteem, but throughout his public life and as senator from this district he takes himself entirely too seriously. Ills public acts are open to Inspection and when this paper criticises Senator Oliver thpt criticism must he under stood to mean his official acts, which we do not agree with and which we believe the people of this district do not regard as wholesome; which the governor has refused to stand behind, and which evidently the attorney gen eral has decided are not proper for the welfare of the commonwealth. " substituting school fob STREET. (Baltimore News) Regarding the development of the idea of using" school buildings in cit ies to their capacity, the New York Times carries a half-page article de scriptive of the reform which the city of New York has accomplished in this respect. Realizing the narrow con fines of the average city home, espec ially In winter; realizing that the child is endowed with an inalienable right to "fun" and recreation, the met ropolitan school board has without ex ception opened to the use of the child ren who are taught in them by day the schoolrooms as a ciub at night Teachers are on hand to supervise the emtning; the gymnasium Is open ed and In running order; games are played, dances held, every induce ment put forward to further Innocent, and healthful social diversion. Each school maintains a library, halls fir the nursery games, rooms for quiet er ones, facilities for music and the like. Every night in the city thous ands on thousands of children,' who otherwise would be living 1A the li rl tating circumstances of cramped quar ters or attempting, to find ,ileasurj in the questionable resorts, a e In tbeae schoolhouses entertainel and mate comfortable In an entirely 't some environment. The alternative of th- tonfsestef' tf.einent or the open -tt. t In th? city is made doubly ha-t in winter hy substituting for the sHewnft the dive or the suggestive .'heiD theater In th? one there is mental and moral stagnation In the dental of the indiv Idual life; In the othe- there la a risk always attending the immature which always attending the Immature, which makes for the tragedies that In the slums constantly question the value of civilization. Between these hard necessities the school, at least for a great number, offer the hope of a happy mean. New York, we are told, does this work at a cost of 4 cents, a scholar per day a small price for the return when it is considered that the real end of education is instruction in life) and that In the cities the streets and their allurements are constantly com battng at night all that the tendency of the school Is to build up by by day. Baltimore with its $5,000,000 invest ment in scchools, might well investi gate to Its benefit the manner in which New York and other cities which they have endowed their children. , "THIS IS MY 63RB BIRTHDAY" Ellen Terry Ellen Terry, the celebrated English actress who has recently completed, a tour of America was born at Coventry Feb. 27,!. 1848, and made her first ap pearance on the&tage under the man agement of Mrs. Charles Kean.
