TI10 woakuess of a Weston publica tion's argumeut for the retention of the normal school at that point was quickly recognized by the Ore gouion, awl cleverly turned against the champion of the Weston normal. The doors of that institution having beou cloned by the governor's veto of the normal school appropriation bill, tho Weston newspapers unwisely la mented the loss as one depriving Wes ton of a high school. The Oregoniau thinks there is 110 special reason why tho suite should furnish Weston witli a high school. And the Portland paper's opinion that Oregon's half dozen normals are looked npon by the small towns in which they are located as the nssots ot those towns and that they nro primarily high schools is not far uuiiss. It is doubtful if the state is justi fiable in expending large sums for the maiiitoimnoo of any of its institutions of higher education. This money is drawn from the multitude of taxpay ers. It is used for tho benefit of a eolect few. It would soem that this soloefc few might reasonably be ex pected to pay tor tho special privilege they enjoy. It is a noticeable tact that students attending tho stato university, tor ox ample, como, for the most part, from families abundantly able to care for their education. The farms of Orogon are taxed to givo to these who havo plouty. Instruction in the Jarts-aud soieuoes is a purchasable luxury. Thoro is surely no noed of maintaining a clmritablo institution for tho purpose of furnishing a luxury for woll-to-do families' Sometime this view may be taken of tlio quest ion. Thore is a prevail ing illusion that the stato treasury is an immense reservoir filled with gold to bo drawn on to satisfy the whims and fancies of men sent to the legis lature. Tho stand that many educa tors tnko on Jlliu normal school ques tion indieaUistlmt little help may be expected from them in educating this falso notion out of the minds of the youth who comu viudor their . super vision. It is hard to Jporsuado the public of tho nooessity of economy in publio nfl'airs. Until this is done, however, we will bo compolled to maintain a government that is a bur den on" the governed and unjust to private property interests. COUNTRY JOURNALISM. ThoRoseburgPlaindoalor announces a ohnnge of owuorship. Roseburg la fortunate in the emjoyment of two wide-aawke np-to-date nowspapors and hor woll-wishers will hope to see no deterioration in this respect beoause of the 1'laindealer's change of man agement. The Review, Roseburg's Deniooratio paper, is a hard compet itor and in a county strongly Repub lican in politics has usually kept tho lead in journalism. Tho new man agement will find that the people of Doughs county, just as of all other comities, will patronize the paper that furnishes thorn tho local 'news, regardless of thoir political Jporsua sion. Headers oxpoct a paper to havo life, to keep up with the. times, to grow. Each RU'ceoding yoar should reveal its improved features. They are en titled to expect in it individuality. If it be an exponent of an established political party, consistency in the ad vocacy of the principles of that party Bhould ho adhered to and its candi dates for otllco supported unless they are incapable or unlit for the position sought after. Many Oregon newspaper men seem to make no effort to get out a read able paper. It will add to tho pres tige of tho Oregon press if overy pub lisher of a country weekly will strive to nmko his paper wide-awake, newsy and progressive. JThe Roseburg papers have kept 111 tho front rank and wo liO 0 that, they will eontiuue there ouder somewhat changed conditions of management. Wo hope to see the staudard of o.mntry journalism rise constantly higher. SLUSH AND ROT. The Silvcrtouian Appeal devotes tho editorial page of its last issne to j anoulefjistio nominating speech of Walter L. Tooze for congress. "It has been definitely announced that Marion county has a candidate for congressional nomination from the First congressional district in the per son of Hon. Walter L. Tooze," et 3., runs the opening clause 01 the article The intimation that this is Marion county's first and only candidate, coupled witli the pateut-modiciuo-ad-vortisomont style, dimly suggests the Hon. Walter L. himself as author of the effusive column. "Mr. Tooze was congressional chair man last campaign" (suggesting, we presuuio, that we have him to thank for tho election of the honorable, highly-osteemed and generally-revered Biuger Hermann), "and has so con spicuously and generally tilled other positions of trust and honor" (their name and nature not being definitely set out in this article), "that his name has become familiar in this portion of the great Northwest, and when it is announced that he is a candidate for congressional nomina tion the people will no doubt appreci ate the opportunity and take advan tage of it, ' ' eto. No doubt thoy will fall over each other in thoir mad rush to cast a bal lot for tho great, tho notorious, the wonderful well, what? There aro candidates for congress who would consider an article charged with so much slush and rot libelous. SCH00LH0USE AT KELSO BURNS. Fire Near Sandy Also Destroys ning's Barn and Grain. Can- Entailing a loss of several hundred dollais, tho Bchoolhouse at Kelso, near Sandy, was burned to tho ground last Friday evening and not a vestige of the building remains. The loss is only partially covered by an insurance of $500. Superintendent of County ' Schools J. O. Zinser received a brief account of the fire from T. G. Jonsrud, justice of the peace at Sandy. The origin of the tiro was not stated. The building was comparatively new, having been constructed about three years ago. School was scheduled to commence about September 25, and a teacher had been engaged for an eight months' term. It is probable that tho ola Weiver mill, about ouo-half mile from the burned sohoolhouse, will be util ized as a temporary structuro, us it is not advisable to re-build this winter. Canning's barn, crop of hay, grain and farming implements were totally destroyed by lire last Friday night near Sandy. CURE YOUR KIDNEYS. Do Not Endanger Your Life and Health When a ture is so basy.
