'thus' far to make any claim to the United States government'-for
the adjusted compensation, or "bonus," voted
them! The work of the bonus board is alwut ended and
still, there are those who know not of the claim they should
make or who do not want it. If it becomes a permanent
condition, the bonus will not cost so much, after all.

' The Oregonian's editorial expressing flat-fooled opposi
tion to the nomination of 'Stanfield in the primaries this
spring has aroused much interest in political circles and is
looked upon in some quarters as a forerunner of a licw
candidacy out of Portland for the Republican senatorial
.nomination. The Oregonian thinks Stanfield cannot be
elected if nominated and says that is sufficient reason for
opposition, desiring as it does the return to the senate of
a Republican and an administration supporter. The Oi
gonin4vnot nldHo-m-Us -epwiiun boiil&taufto4nml.muy
influential men in the party are fearful the final election
Mould sec .him defeated with no presidential landslide to
counted on... Nothing would suit the Democrats better,
'86 the senatorial situation is far from being peaceful these
days. New candidates are expected to enter the race soon
and in the meanwhile Fred Steiwcr and Clark are quietly
busy with their fences. Steiwcr, incidentally, is winning
some excellent support in many sections of the state and
Jooks like a strong contender.

A MATTKU OV PAY,
J InvcBtigntion by the United States bureau of education
Reveals that in spite of numerous preparatory schools for
puchers the teaching staffs of rural communities show hut
Blight improvement. The product of two-year normal
fcchools goes almost exclusively to city schools. There does
not seem any reason to expect u change in this. At any
rate, the investigators have none but the most elemental
suggestions to make for improvement which they regaid
essential. - - s
i First there must he recognition by utral people that
their children cannot have secondary or higher education
if they do not receive elemental training adequately. For
this 'good teachers arc needed. We must demand them.
Iiut it is plain that as long as teachers are free to select
from among the jobs available they will nt choose small
country schools if they can go to the city. When the
normal school authorities are empowered to assign teachers
against their will, not many new teachers will he graduated.
If rural schools arc to be better served than they have
been their managers must compete fur competent teachers.
Instead of paying the minimum salary permitted to be paid
they might do well to offer premiums for good teachers.
That would draw competence away from the city and make
better elemental training possible.
