State Normal at Monmouth
May Get Money
Appropriated
Secretary of state, Ben W.
Olcott placed in a very
trying position and Nor
mal may win over even
the adverse action of the
Secretary.
Since the decision was handed
down in the University of Ore
gon case the State Normal case
is assuming a peculiar situation.
The University case was decided
against the University on the
ground that petitions were reg
ular, even though a number of
forged names wer appended, so
long as the number of Tsonafide
names was as great as the law
required, even if every sheet did
not contain the legal require-
Secretary of State Ben W. Olcott
mentsof a petition so long as
they were attached together un
der one head,
im.. m fnsp was over
the appropriation of $50,000 for
the JNormai aciiwi w
construct ' a new dormitory.
President Ackerman a little
over a week ago went to Salem
and presented a voucher for the
Normal School money. Attor
ney General Crawford advised
the Secretary p( the State, Ben
W Olcott, to refuse to honor the
voucher on the ground that the
University decision states a pn-

Court. There were no stipula
tions to that effect filed in so far
as we have been able to learn,
and the Monmouth case is in the
hands of Attorney Hayter, of
Dallas, as attorney for the school,
who we believe is contending
that the appropriation is now due
and should be paid the school and
the application of Superintendent
Ackerman is undoubtedly the
first step to bring the matter in
to legal shape.
Secretary of State Olcott is in
a precarious condition in the mat
ter as an injunction now stands
against him placing the referen
dum on the measure, and " if ne
does so it will be in face of a
court injunction that has not been
repealed nor declared invalid and
which is binding on him. It is
contended that, if he places the
referendum measure on the bal
lot, is fined for contempt of court,
and the measure is voted for by
the people it becomes an invalid
measure and the school would be
entitled to the money just as
though no referendum had been
filed against the school.
ELECTION MAY 60
TO THE HOUSE
This early in the campaign
speculation is rife as to what
would happen in the event
no presidential candidate re
ceived a majority of the elec
toral votes this fall. Of
course, this contingency is
based on the presumption
that. Roosevelt will be a can
didate. In case no candidate re
ceived a majority of the votes
of the electoral college, the
selection would be thrown
into the House of Represen
tatives. TheA'Ote would be
by states, ech having one
vote. The choice of the state
would be settled by its dele
gation in caucus. The ques
tion would be determined by
the House, which holds until
the fourth day of March next.
In the history of the coun
try, the president has been
elected by the House on two
occasions, first in 1800, when
Thomas Jefferson was the
choice, and again in 1821,
when John Quincy Adams
was selected. In the last case
mentioned, Adams was cho
sen, although Andrew Jack
son received a plurality of
the electoral votes.
The Hayes-Tildtn election
in 1876, was settled by a
special electoral commission
of fifteen, as the result of a
compromise.
TV0 KINDS OF GIRLS
There are two kinds of girls
in the world, the girl who
works and the girl who
gads. Commend us to the
former. Work lends dignity
to a pretty girl, is an added
charm to her. The girl who
works, Ood bless her, com
bines the useful and the orna
mental. She might gad about,
roll on sofas, gossip and
read story books, but he pre
fers to be of some account in
the world and goes out steno
grapher, teaching, saleslady
or , house-keeper, bravely
making her own way. Such
are the saU of the earth and
of such is the kingdom of
heaven. Ex.
ON BANKING REFORM
The attitude of both great
political parties toward baiik
ingreform as expressed, with
in the last few weeks, in the
national platforms, as previ
ously exptessed in the Dem
ocratic platform of Alabama,
the Republican platform of
uk;-. nsas, the Democratic
I '.I1:; rm of Delaware, the Re-i.ah'-ioan
platform of Dela
uiuc, the Democratic plat
form of New Hampshire, the
Republican platform of New
York, the Republican plat
form of Pennsylvania, the Re
publican platform of Tennes
see, and the Democratic plat
form of Virginia, but empha
sizes the necessity of non-partisan
treatment of a vital, ec
onomic subject. Both par
ties declare that the remedy
should be in the interest of
the whole country, and not in
the interest of Wall Street or
any other part of it.
Does it not seem reasona
ble to divorce politics and
business in considering so
important a matter? Does it
not seem reasonable forCon
eress to follow the advise of
o j
business men and adopt a
system which is fashioned
after the framework of our
government; that is, to have
a system of co-operation
which .will insure justice to
every town and hamlet,
which willhelp the farmer to
move his crop, and the plant
er to market his cotton,
which will guarantee safety
to the investor and relief to
the borrower, which will be a
staff to the wage-earner be
cause money panics will not
throw himout of employment
and which will be a solar-pit x
as blow to the Money Trust
or to any other kind of trust
thatselfishly seeks to increase
its power so that it may safe
ly nestle in a New York sky
scraper and dictate interest
rates to the valleys beyond the
Rockies or the townships of
the plains? Ex.
CHEERFULNESS PAYS
A cheerful spirit carried in
to the stable full of stock
will make that place just like
itself. Did you ever think of
it? A sour, unhappy expres
sion, roughness when open
ing the stable door, will put
every animal on the defense,
ready to kick and resent. Be
sides, good cheer is distinctly
advantageous in the produc
tion of meat, milk, and wool.
The milker who "croons to
the cow" is encouraging her
to do her best. The same
rule applied to the family and
help. Let happiness and
cheer predominate every
thing, day by da-.
