WEAK ARGUMENT.
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.

"Peruna has effectually cured me

"For a long time I suffered with ca
tarrh of the kidneys, had a weakness

my feet were swollen, my faoe was
puffed under the eyes and I had a waxy

' I took Peruna for some time and am
entirely well. I cannot endorse Peruna
