Qovornbr Ponnoyer's mcesngft is
quite voluminous and exlmus
Uve doeumeut, And deals with a
multiplicity of questions of public
interest. The message is chnnio
teristlcally rennoycriavt. And never
omits an opportunity to score a
point in favor of the musses as
against cither the real or the sup
posed encroachments of the mono
polists And moneyed corporations.
The document bears the imprint of
thorough houeaty of conviction,
Ana Aboumla in plaui common
euse reasoning, enforced with s
cogency of Argument which coin
pels Attention. It is not our pur
pose, to cither commend or con
deuiu the messageonly to indicate
some of its salieut points which are
of paramount interval to the people
of Oregon just now.
The governor first shows a very
flatten in: reduction of the Rtatc
debt from 95.217 in January 1S87
tot2,335in Jauuarj ISM; he then
passes ou to the state expenditures
which amounted to ;;W,403 in
18S78 and for 1SS IK) to 1,071,128.
The common school fund in 1887
was 1,059.409, Aud in 1S91, :,,'.HKl1.
51. An increase of more thau UK
per cent, in four years. The nu
age also strongly urges upon the
present legislature to enact stria
gent laws protecting the fishing in
dustry of the state, and suggests
that Columbia river salmon should
only be caught with mesh uets, for
under the present system of indis
criminate slaughter there is great
danger of destroying the industry.
The legislature is also instructed to
provide means for the purchase by
the state of the locks at the falls of
the Willamette, and a strong pica
is made in favor of a lower rate of
interest. The governor does not
favor a repeal of the usury law,
And argues tnat "if money was ou
an equal footing with other pro
perty, it would be unjust to pass
Any laws regulating its use which
did not equally apply to all other
property, but so lone as it is
clothed by law with an attribute
which no other species of property
possesses that of being a legal
tender in the payment of debt!
just so long it is no more than just
that the law should regulate its
use. Property favored by law
Bhould be controlled by law." A
change in the preseut method of
taxation is recommended, and es
pecial emphasis is placed upon the
enactment of a law by "which the
state revenue could be raised di
rectly from the people, en
tirely indepeadent of the county."
The question of no deduction for
indebtedness is submitted to the
legislature without executive re
commendation, except in the event
that the law is allowed to stand as
it is on the statute, then it is sug
geated that "it would be well to
inquire whether Buch deduction
should be allowed for debts owing
to national banks."
The Abolishment of the officers of
railroad, fishery commissions, etc.,
is strongly nrged and argued at
considerable length. His excel-
ency deprecates the interference by
federal courts with state affairs,
Strong opposition is made to any
appropriation of the state funds to
wards payius the expenses of
Oregon's exhibit at the Columbian
exhibition at Chicago in 1893. Aud
it is also urged that the state
should protect its citizens against
the unjust encroachments of rail
road corporations, and that a law
should be passed for the mutual
protection of both railroad employ
er and employe.
Til It HA IX IN MOTION.
1 At l . . a .
rrom lime to time tins paper
his indicated to the people of Polk
county that a railroad from Inde
pendence to Falls City was pract
ically guaranteed to be put through
in the near future, but our talk
was looked upon by a great many
people as being sensational, vis
ionary, an attempt at booming,
cheap buncombe, etc. We are
now in a position to definitely state
that the long promised inaterializa
tion is an established fact, and that
railroad connection between them
two points is no longer a question
of vague speculation.
The Independence and Mon
mouth Railway Company have
filed supplementary articles of in
corporation with the secretary of
state extending their' franchise on
to Falls City and Salem, and also
increasing their capital stock to
100,000. We consider this a
matter of more than ordinary im
portance to the people of Polk
county irrespective of locality or
supposititious individual interests.
The completion of this road will be
especially important to Fulls
City, because it insures that city
rapid growth and development; a
large population,manufacturing in
dustries, good schools and many
other modern conveniences. In a
word, it means wealth, prosperity,
m I 'iKItl , .,,(,1,
tiie mentis of hotter living, fultei
and more complete life lo the peo
ple of that community,
It also mean better facilities of
transportation for the jieoplo Along
the line of the route, the full ami
complete development of the ngri
cultural resources of the Luckla
mute valley; it means a market fi
the fanners produce, quick salti
and sure ret urns, mora money and
letter prices, a forward movenuvt
all along the line, and a new era
for southern Polk comity. The
people should now step to the front
and give their aid to theenterprlw'j
support it by both word and deed,
ami both in season aud out of sea
son assist in pushing it along.
The public interest taken in the
course of lectures recently deliver
ed in this city by Prof. Kiddcll on
sociology and cognate subjects, is
evidence that our people feel an
iuterest in the current thought of
the day. We en it see no good
reason why a thorough course of
lectures ou live questions could not
be Arranged for the edification of
our citUeus. The xople of Bostou
to day are intoloctually the keen
est of auy class of people In Amer
ica, and theroasou of their superior
culture is largely attributable to
the suiM'ilor lecture facilities
literary, religious, scieutitlo etc,
of that city. We could secure At a
comparatively nominal cost able
speaker from Salem, Portland and
other points, to say nothing of the
literary talent nearer home. A
movement in this direction should
bo made by tlp literary and know
ledge seeking people of this town.
There is no reason why indeed it
is a scandal that Independence
should in this particular lug behind
other progressive towns of the
state1.
e publish elsewhere in the
columns of this pajier an article by
Prof. A. 8. Drutier on "State Con
trol in Education," and we trust
that our readers will give it a care
ful reading. The leading thought,
or the one which impresses us the
most forcibly, is in regard to iu
culcatiug the spirit of patriotism
iu the minds of American youth.
In a republic like ours where the
people have delegated powers, ami
party and factional strife often
transcemlsthe Imunds of IkhIi reus
on and patriotism, too much stress
cannot be put upou the necessity
of incorMiratiiig the principles of
lat riot ism, love of country above
all fealty to party, as a part of the
fundamental tenets of our educa
tional system. The jwoplo of this
republic are confronted today, with
many complex social sod iiolitleul
problems which were never dream
ed of in any preceding ago or civl
ligation, and it will require the bent
talents of the statesman and the
sternest integrity of the patriot to
wisely and equitably adjust them
THK UAtrON IIII.U
Mr. Joseph Huston, of (iaston,
Or., has compiled and published in
neat pamphlet form a bill entitled
an act to create the olllce of a rail
road commisioner and fix his com
pciiHatiou, and to define his powers
and duties etc. Also to repeal
"An Act to Create and Establish
a Hoard of Railroad Commisioners
etc." Mr. Carton is wilding this
pamphlet to each newspajn'r in
the statc,atid otherwise endeavoring
to obtain public opinion as to the
merits of the bill. Many of the
features of this bill are very evi
dent improvements upon the law
as it now exists, and the legislature
could not do better than to give
Mr. Gaston's suggestions careful
thought and consideration.
lilunt old Hen Johnson once said,
that "a falsehood will travel around
the world while Truth is putting
ou her booW." We are led to make
the above remarks because of a
paragraph iu a recent number of
the Corvallis Timet to the effect
that Rev. J. It. N. Roll had dis
solved all connection with the
Went Side plant. The statement
is incorrect and has no foundation
whatever. There has been no
"ring-master," or "trick-mule"
trouble in the Weht Side camp,
as our esteemed contemporary so
broadly hints. The donkey
headed news is on the outside, and
finds expression in such hasty and
unwarrantable statements as the
one put on wueeis and started
agoing by the Timet.
The press of the country is about
equally divided on the question ol
free coinage of silver. It is diffi
cult to forecast the cfluct of silver
free coinage upon business and
commercial relations, but it seems
to us sound financial policy to stick
to a standard fold basis. Those
nations are the most prosperous iu
the long run which adopt the gold
basis. The free coinage of silver is
liable to cause the withdrawal of
gold as a circulating medium, that
is to a large extent, and if such is
the case the pnrchasing value of
the inflated medium is likely to
suiter a depreciation.
The Australian ballot system 1b
rapidly coming in favor with the
people of this country, and as the
present legislature will have
the question Up for con8ideration,j
it might tie well to note the mig
tfeetlon recently made by LU Gov.
Langhton, of Washington, lie aj
that the promiscuous mingling of
the names of the various political
candidal Is very confusing to the
Voter, and recommends that tin
name of candidates be grouped to
gel her under their respective parix
n lines, etc. The suggest Ion Isevi
denlly worthy of consideration.

that the Koch remedy Is similar In

South America is having another
semi annual out hurst of interne

nacious little Chile that has turned
loose the dogs of war, and "the

lteply to Question No. 1. I think,
from vxierlenc In an average dltrlct
school, that the heat result may be ob
tained by marking once or twice a
week or even once In two week. In
ma'klng after each recitation the pupil
will study more or lr for recllaliou,
and not for what may be gained from
the subject. I believe In review ('iea
tloulng a a basis for marking elaa
lauding.
No. 1 The main reason for pupil
failure when aaked to write hit first
coitiMiltlou lie tu the fact that In the
majority of primary schools, country
school at least, language leasous ar
eutlrely ucglected More, the time at
which be Is requested to writ the com
position mentioned; this make failure
oertalu. It It ou the same plan as ask
ing a carpeuter to build A house with
out lumber.
No. 3. Teacher should have recita
tions for the purpose of Interesting and
instructing the pupil In his studies.
Examination should be to And what
the pupil knows about the suhieot.
W. it Ileudrlcks.
lteply to No. 2. I think marking an
unjust way of ascertaining what a pu
pil knows; for If the teacher marks at
tne cloa of each recitation It will result
In the pupil preparing to recite and not
for the real benefit to be derived from
the study. Dally marking requires
time and since time Is to valuable to al
engaged In school work, tbl alone,
should render It objectloiiahle. Never
theless, when marking Is judiciously
used it is a help, also a proper Incentive
to better work. Every teacher must
Judge for himself bow frequently this
should be done, but dally marking It
nuisance and marking machines belong
to th past. A teacher's time might be
otherwise better employed,
Etta Nameloo.
lteply to No. 2. In our public
schools, esHclally those In the country,
language duet not receive It due atten
tion. Usually the pupil does not take
language lessons as early at he should
The teacher doe not require It, and
when the pupil It allowed to select his
owu course of studle he rarely select
tunguago lesson. ''I don't see no use
In studying grammar," is a remark 1
have beard made by pupil of a public
school. Hence, we tee that It it the
duty of the teacher to require the pupils
to study language. 1 he teacher too
often neglects this duty. Another ter.'
out error that teachers often commit, Is
to allow the pupils to recite without
using any connected language. . The
teacher asks a question and permit the
pupull to answer "yet" or "no," or to
answer with an eliptlcal sentence, for
example; the teacher asks, "what con
nects the arteries with the veins?" The
pupil responds, "the capillaries," In
stead of making a complete sentence.
At long as these and other antiquated
methods are used, we rimy expect that
the pupils of the public schools will be
deficient n language.
Mr. Kelly,
lteply to question No, 2, It argues
that the methods of teaching language
are radically defective. The Importance
of right methods iu the language work
of a school cannot hoover estimated;

pupils are to be taught tu t so uiueh the
fact about language a hinguage Itaclf,
that I, bow to uae It correctly and with
facility, language means words and
sentence used III expressing thought,
aud most HHipl uw It from habit, and
very few think of rule of syntax while
talking or writing. The use of lnu
guag by children I almost wholly con
trolled by habit, they do not even at
tempt to tint the correctness) of their
Mevh by applying the simplest rule
of grammar which they have lenrued;
habit are formed by rv-utedly doing
th same thing the aume way, aud good
habits are formed by doing the right
thing In the beat possible way. If one
wishes to acquire correctness aud fiicil
ity in the expression of thought he
must practice the art of expression un
der th mit favorable circumstance;
hence, th liuportauee of training our
pupil In correct babbit of expression,
language Is cither oral or written, aud
mot people uae thouaaudsof words and
scu tenor orally where they use one In
writing. With children laugtiiige I
almost exclusively oral; teachers, there
fore, should give much attoutlon to this
branch of work and b sure to ts-gjn In
lb right way and a early as (siaaible.
Teach children to observe and then
eouverse with them about these oler
vatloiu. Furnish excellent menus of
training lu tho use of oral language,
for example; the pupil tuny Is? direeled
loolajervethe birds, thedlft'crent kinds,
the plumage.tbe size, aud lu the season,
the liesl; encourage them to express
themselves In the most fnmlllnr way,
but at the same time lending them to
uso short, crisp, well constructed sen
tence and natural tones of voice that
shall be clear aud distinct. Hueb oWr
vatlons may extend to flowers, plums,
haves, fruits, stone, In fact anything
that will prove an Interesting topic.
The reading lewtous should be re
produced In the pupils owu luuguago,
orally, because It not only furnishes uu
excellent opportunity for conversation,
but also require the pupil to gather the
thought at he mid it; after a few
month drill In oral work, have them
write short ctortes; have some one
read his story aud then mil ou some
oue to reprtsluce It iu their own lan
guage, the teacher all the time helping
them by correcting all mlstukes and
praising all honest effort to succeed, but
discouraging all tendency to make a
wrong use of such work. After a year's
trial of such work In language you will
be astonished at tho Improvement In
the child's English.
