A UEFKSDEIt OF SO I! M M.S.
euncsday s issue oi tin; Asiiiancl alley l- oj-.
iniKlit lie called a normal niiiulx-r, so full is it of the not
inal school question. Editor Kaiser, awakened from
long hibernation, pops and cracks the editorial whip about
the normal school enemies, lashing critics, raising great
welts in legislators and even flecking chunks of moss off
the back of Ilarvev Scott, arch cnemv of normals. If tin
loss of the school has had the same effect on everyont
Ashland that it has on the Valley Record's publisher, it
again proves that there is no loss without a correspond
A very strong case is made for the maintenance
the normal school system. Figures are given showing that
every state and territory maintains two or more normals
except Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Indiana. Louisiana
Montana, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Utah, whirl
have but one. The entire trend today is toward sevcra
schools, and many of these slates are figuring upon addi
tional schools.
The number of normals in various slates is as follows
Alabama four, Arizona two, California five, Connecticut
lour, JJistrict ot Columbia two, Georgia three, Idaho two,
.Illinois five, Iowa two, Kansas three, Kentucky ' thrc
Maine three, Maryland two, Massachusetts nine, Michi
gan tour, Minnesota five, Mississippi two, Missouri four,
Sew .Jersey two, New Mexico two, New York twelve, North
Carolina four, North Dakota two, Ohio two, Oklahoma
four, Pennsylvania thirteen, South Carolina two, South
Dakota four, Texas three, Vermont three, Virginia two,
Washington three, West Virginia seven, Wisconsin seven.
The Record discusses The Tribune's editorial utter
ance of February L'l, in which it was stated that Ashland
citizens should have rushed to Salem to rescue the normal,
asserting that the history of ten years' experience is con
trary to the suggestion that a lobby was needed. Says the
Record :
"lit the ace of the butchery executed hi) one session
of a slule senate ml of five, we urn not ,jH,. , pan d to
believe lit ; rsull ironil have been different. The idea can
not gel away from us that regular eommillee meetings
and one or tiro citizens in possession of the information
the representatives of the stale need to consider, and the
consideration of the report on the floor of the house or
senate, is the proper place to center the issue."
Politics is not. what ought to be, but what is. Disin
terested consideration and logie should sway legislators,
but seldom does. All talk to the contrary does not dis
prove what everyone familiar with legislation knows, that
more laws are made by the lobby than in either house.
Practical polit ics secured Ashland the normal. The merits
of the proposition hail nothing to do with it. Practical
politics might have retained it. If there had been a strong
lobby, the result might have been different. At leasl it
would have been worth the effort. Never trust a measure
to succeed on its merits alone, and he prepared to fight the
devil with fire.
Here is the way the Record hands it. to Senator Jay
Jioweriiian, who fought, the normals:
" """" secretly prepares the most outrage
ous program that was ivcr j,t on fool in behalf of any
measure before an Oregon deliberative body to murder
the three stale normal schools in Oregon and deliver their
bctonyiuys to the cit y l'orlland for that purpose
through l'orlland Sal, in alliances and throuijh the spine
less backbone of other si nnlors who fell obliged to emas
culate, themselves in order to gel on committees he com
pelled the subservi, ncy of ever; measure Ihut became a
law to the diabolical job he had concocted and it failed unit)
partially because the house refused to be bludgeoned into
such a horrible undertaking. Hut Senator lloucrmun,
prospective candidate for governor, appealing to the avar
ice and vapidity of I'ortland's big vole and to the prcju-
"" V, i m: paisimomons lowtirowcl pessimists of the Wil
lamette valley, u ho are willing to scuttle the .stale univer
sity and cut lit, hun t out of the stale public school system,
is a study that men will despise."
The Record gives Mr. I !owennan too prominent a place
111 11 nspiiacy to wreck the normals. A luainritv of
I lie senate were n i,al from the
lion-, anil wr trust his soul is in htaveil, htrcf safe from
any interview with tin normal school kidnapp, is. but it
is safe to pi, dirt that if the noble, old lloinun cared to conn
bark to Sodom and fiomorrah (Salem and I''). Hand) and
inventory tin ru rr u pi ion and 'niquities wrought on the
morals of the p, ople or the porketbvok of the t'J.f payers, the
one siugli alhgid normal school dicker would prove t
have In , n mi r, I y n ' nnrh " f, uture in the lar'Jer games of
the s, a at o is' rombin, holding a just appropriation until
one fri, nd of th, stiiojl delivered the goods to the politi
cian. "Y,t the On gonian is so hasp and low thn' it is pre
pared h, swallow In ids of camels and make a big fuss over
a gnat, and when we read the Oregonian we ore solemnly
advised that if it was not for the normal schools Harvey
Scott would surily moke Oregon take the place of 'Billi
ken. the. Cod of Things as They Ought to Be.' "
The Tribune, along with everyone in Jackson county,
regrets the loss of the normals, and if a special session of
the legislature is held. Medford will send some of her third
house brigade to fight the battle for a normal aonrooria-
