Pld In adranoe, per rear S i month! 7i gT-Tha data oppoalte yonr addrena on th ptuer donotailhe time to whloh you have paid GENERALSHIP IN THE SCHOOL A school row, besides the unpleas antness connected with It, Is a detri ment to the successful conducting of the public school. A country school teacher of little experience would not - be expected to avoid such difficulties but one who occupies the responsible position of principal of a city school Is expected to be tactful and resource ful enough to avoid bitter quarrels with patrons of the school district. The principal of the Barclay school may not have been amiss In her duty is an Instructor she has her side of the story, and It undoubtedly disagrees with that of the complaining patron, but the fact that the disagreement has been permitted to assume such proportions Is an evidence of bad man agement and the exercise of little tact Good generalship Is a requisite In the school room almost equal In Im portance to ability in class Instruc tion. The Instructor Is handicapped In maintaining discipline and good or der If not supported by the patrons of a district, and a teacher, as a rule, has this support. But above this inclina tion to support the position of an In structor Is the insistence . on "fair play." This Is the American spirit. In the present case the fact that this principal was deprived of the au thority to Inflict corporal punishment by an order of the board of directors sorongly suggests that her ideas of maintaining discipline are antiquated and will go toward losing her the sym pathy and support of the patrons of the district. If the whipping of re fractory pupils was Indulged In until the board of directors felt that it was . necessary to Interfere there Is bound to be a feeling that a woman of such ' position ' lacks some of the qualities that one requires In tutoring young and often sensitive spirits.' On the other hand it is felt that the government of the school room be longs to the teacher In charge, and that so, far as Is consistent parents . should refrain from meddling. The ; love of a parent for a child is often s blind to a large extent, even to hin dering the process of development that makes for the child's best inter- est. AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT. The coming Spring already prom lses to bex Oregon's busiest year in real estate transactions. Eastern buy ers are coming In rapidly. They are largely genuine home seekers and not bent on a mere tour of Inspection. i. The healthy growth of the country demands that those new-corners be located as often as possible on agri cultural lands. We need especially development of these lands. If we build up the agricultural community the city will follow as a natural se quence. - So It Is In order for all persons In terested In the substantial develop ment of the state to urge all new coin ers to pursue the course est both for ' themselves and for the community. That Is not to soek employment whore support will bo dependont on the whim of the financial world, but to secure a productive tract of land and .place It In a productive condition. So situated, every man Is a king. He Is dependent on no one. Let none of us forgot that every In dividual of a community Is boneilttod by the audition of new citizens of worth and enterprise. No man is a kingdom unto himself but we aro so cial creatures, dependent one on another. Our wants are bent served by serving, each the wants of the oth er. Unselfishly lot ub all pull togeth are usually anonymous Interviews prominent western senator" or an fluential western representative" the way they usually mask their ident ity. None the less, a reform of the land laws is coming Just as certainly as railroad rate legislation came. The President happens to know a good deal personally about the land situa tion in the West. He is not even deal lng with a subject on which he has to study up as he did most effectively on the railroad question. He knows what grazing land frauds, timber land frauds, mineral land frauds and all the other sort of land frauds mean, be cause he has lived among men that both commit them and suffer from them. Also he has the support of some of the best scientific experts in the government service in dealing with the problem. From the geologl cal survey he has the experience of men who know mineral land, and have no more business sense than to work for the government -for $2,600 a year A-hen they could get two or three clmes as much on the otuslde. In the 'orest service he has the experience ind reliability of men like Gifford i'lnchot to support him, a man who ;as an Independent income, and yet 3 willing to work for the good of the ,'overnment service. These men are tot the ones to recommend legislation chat Is not for the good of the general public. Yet there Is opposition. The repre- ientatlves of vast financial Interests jay that the recommended land legis lation Is all wrong, and that It has its inception In the minds of men who have stolen millions of acres of land from the government and want to steal millions more. No greater falsehood was ever ad vanced by the resident exponents of corporate interests. The land laws of the West need reforming. The public domain Is now centered In the West, and it Is there that there are thous ands of acres of mineral lands, mil lions of acres of grazing land, and hundreds of thousands of acres of tlnv ber land, all of which the President wants to save to the general wealth of the nation. There Is no department of the government in which grosser frauds have been committed that In the land office, and the sooner Its rules are changed and Its practlcos disin fected the better it will be for the general public. WHICH POINT OF VIEW. er. LAND LAW REFORM. Nothing has raised more quiet yet relentless opposition to the Presldont since his Insistence on the passage on the rate bill, than bis determination to remodel the land laws of the West to prevent fVaud in acquiring Imperial slices of the public domain. Western congressmen are in the majority In opposition to this course, but It will be noticed in scanning their Inter views in the public prints that they When the Hair Falls Then k's time to act! No time to study, to read, to experi ment! You want to save your hair, and save It quickly, tool So make up your mind this very minute that If your hair ever comes out you will use A yers Hair Vigor.

Taking the more sordid view of the Ituation cities are often placed In a position whore they may exercise powor juat as effectively and no more righteously than the "lone highway man." They may require the butch er to pay an exhorbltant sum and even a prohibitive sum for the privilege of carrying on his business within the city limits. So Incorporated cities may hamper, discriminate against or prohibit new undertakings and new business enterprises. The Home Telephone company has asked to do business In Oregon City on the same basis and with the same privileges that other telephone com panies enjoy. The Pacific Statos Tele phone & Telegraph Co. asks to be pro tected In a monopoly ot the business. Our council, representing the wishes of the city, will undoubtedly deal with thu quest ion fairly, protecting every right and Interest of the city and at tho same tlmo showing no favors to nny one of tho competing companies. Each is entitled to an unrestricted op portunity to carry on business without favor or discrimination. ell points break. A thousand and one things go wrong when they should move smoothly.

Attractions Booked for Presentation at Shlvely's Opera House. We print this week In another col umn a reply to the personal attacks that have been made on Mr. Olnther. Mr. Ointhor says that with this re ply tho controversy Is closed so far as he is concerned. A religious controversy, onco start ed, is very apt to run into unpleasant personalities and to continue for a tedious length for tho reason that re llgon is distinctly a personal matter, and has as many phases and sides as there are mentalities. Because re ligion is a matter of personal opinion, tho questions pertaining to it can never be settled to the satisfaction of everybody someonu always has one word more to add. We hope this will end tho controversy thut has been running for several weeks In our col umns. Sadie Raymond and a strong sup porting company will present "The Missouri Girl" at Shlvely's opera house Monday, Feb. 25. Miss Ray mond Is a bright little actross of un usual merit and has done a great deal towards making "The Missouri Girl the popular play it is today. She Stands without a rival as a character soubrette, possessing a fine singing voice, good looks and charming man ner that have won for her an enviable reputation among theater-goers. Her original songs and the way she sings them, never fail to bring forth rounds of applause. That Sadie Raymond is star of the first magnitude la an ac knowledged fact. "Lost In New York." March 1st, Friday evening's attraction at Shlve ly's opera house is not as new as some of the offerings recently seen by our theatre-goers, this fact perhaps be ing responsible ofr the unlimited faith the public seems to have in the performances, for there Is not a part icle of doubt but that the piece playing to larger returns than any of the new biddors for public patronage, for the great East River scene, with practical Bteam launch with carry ing capacity of ten persons, the real Istic escape of "Jenie in the row boat, Madison Square Garden and other familar scenes In and about the metropolis, still bring capacity busi ness to this ever welcome comedy dra ma. It is' claimed for Lem B. Parker's latest play, "Nettie, the Newsgirl,1' which will be seen at Shlvely's Opera House, Saturday, March 2nd, that it is a powerful story, well told. In the play every pathetic situation Is said to be shaded by a. feature of comedy, which fact has- made the piece one of the most strongly appre ciated by ail theatre-goers. There is Lobster McMullan, the old lobster and crab peddler, In love with that good Irish lady, Mrs. O'Neill. The scenes of love making between the couple are' said to be funny beyond expression. Then there is Montmor encey Montague, a dear love .of a dude; Tom O'Nell,' the life saver of the East Side; Dan Harper and Billy McGlory, who are always ready to committ any crime for money. MISS DRAPER'S RECITAL. Talented Planlste Delights Portland Audience with Her Playing. Miss Martha Frances Draper gave a piano recital last night at Eiler's music hall IrrTortland. Miss Draper has been studying for some time with W. Gifford Nash of Portland, and her manifest talent showed to advantage in the program she rendered last night. Her sureness of touch, and her feeling for the music that constitutes the successful artist were seen In all of her numbers, and although the pro gram was somewhat heavy for the av erage audience, yet the lovers of goofl music were more than pleased by the exhibition of musical Insight and the sure technic that bid fair to raise Miss Draper from the ranks of tho ama teurs. Tho sight of a man boing publicly horsewhipped on tho main street of our city points a moral. When the marriugo vow Is taken, and one prom ises to "love and cherish" neither of these promises receives special prom inence over the others. It is just as much the duty of a husband to cherish his wife, that is, to be careful of her, and thoughtful of her welfare and comfort as It is to provide enough for her to eat. When a man flagrantly neglects this part of his vow, It Is quite time that his attention should be called more or less forcibly to such neglect. Qlirt hi no Aniinllv cv-rvl In (Iia H cr i t 'T numbers and those calling for more Intellectual work. Her delicate touch in the numbers by Poldinl called forth much applauso, and her interpreta tion of the lleethbven sonata was thor oughly good. Her musical feeling was shown in the Schubert numbers espe cially, and the Bach Fugue and the Valse for the left hand alone displayed her technical ability.. Following is the program: Chromatic Fugue In 1) min or, Bach; Sonata in C minor, Op. Rt, Beethoven; Impromptu in A flat min or, Moment Musical In E flat minor, Schubert; Interme:fo in E flat major from FaschlngsBchwank, Schumann; Valsedelo, for left hand only, Geza Ztchy; In Solitude. What tho Forest Brook Babbles, roldlni; Humoreske In in A minor, Dvorak. About fifty of Miss Draper's frtendsln Oregon City went down to attend the recital, aud she was the recipient of many floral gifts. The "cussedness of inanimate things" will continue to bother man kind as long as human nature exUts. There always seems to be a rocking chair In the way on which to stub a toe. An umbrella gets mislaid. Pen- Obituary. Mttiquam, Ore. Feb. 18, 1907. Charles E. Skirvin was born in Plainsville, Rooks county.

I J VT, J TF ALL the men and women who have used Peruna and found it beneficial X should write testimonials giving the plain facts, we would be overwhelmed with certificates. But only now and then one who has been benefited by Peruna stops to give any puDuo acknowledgement of a cure. Various considerations prevent people from writing testimonials for publica tion. Inordinate modesty, oversensitivenesg and business considerations forbid many people from writing testimonials who otherwise would be glad to do so. All Classes Represented. . Bnt In spite of all those considerations, thousands of people without any solici tation whatever do write testimonials for Peruna. We receive these from men of high degree and lor degree, from the array and the navy, from the hall of congress, from the eolleges, from high officials in the church, from the society belle and the washerwoman, from the military man and the oivillan. We have never put Into print but a small per cent, of those actually received. Sincere Testimony. In presenting the testimonial of Admiral Hlchborn we appreciate the high rank of our testifier. We feel sure that his testimonial will appeal to others as it does to ns, that nothing but a genuine wish to do others good would have Impelled a man in such honorable rank to give public testimony to any remedy, however valuable. The Admiral is altogether too busy a man to answer letters of Inquiry, but the reader can rest assured that his testimony Is given in his exact words, over his signature. Genuine Endorsements. Our testimonials are and always have been given In the exact language of the testifier, with which we take no liberties whatover in adding to or changing them. In the use of testimonials we have always received them properly signed, in good faith, have published them in good faith, and If there has arisen a slight misunderstanding concerning them, it has been some unavoidable complication occurring after the testimonial lias been furnished ns. A Captain's Letter. Rudolph B. Schwickardi, Capt. 39th N. Y. Vol. Inf., writes from Washing, ton, B.C.: 'Having the fullest confidence in the efficacy of Peruna, both as a tonic and as a remedy for catarrhal trouble, I commend its use in the strongest possible terms. It should be in ever; household." Pastor Uses Pe-ru-na. Rev. P. E. S wanstrom, box 828, Grants- burg, Wis., writes: "I feel that It is my duty as well as pleasure to let you know tbat I am en tirely cured. I hwve used Peruna ac cording to yonr persoDaldlrections and I am very glad that I found a medicine which would cure me after three years of suffering." Editor's Recommendation. Fred M. Armstrong, city editor, Daily Gazette, Delaware, Ohio, writes: "It gives me great pleasure to be able to recommend Peruna to everybody who is looking for a first-class tonic. Two bottles completely cured me and now I am enjoying the best of health." Congressmen Endorse Pe-ru-na Hon. W.E. Andrews, Hastings, Neb., formerly vice-president of Hastings College and ex-member of the Fifty rourtn uongress, writes : "I cheerfully recommend the prepara tion, Peruna, as a healthful tonic and a successful remedy for catarrh In Its various forms." Author Praises Pe-ru-na. Mr. Robert E. Hanvey, well-known author ana lecturer, writes from 11 S. Lincoln street, Chicago. 111. i "I was in good health until about fonr years ago when my back became lame and sore. The pains kept lncr'easinir with severe twitches and slow exhaust ive aches.
