LEFT THE rOITLISTS OUT. At a meeting of the members of the Democratic county central committee of Clackamas county held in this city last Saturday, it was practically decided to name a straight Democratic ticket for the coining June election. It is the evident intention of the un terrified, unduly flattered by the result of the last con gressional election in this county, to entirely ignore their faithful allies, the Populists with whom they have for years been glad to associate and with whose assistance only has it been possible for the minority party to make the showing that has been made. Un aided they propose to enter the political arena next spring and take everything in sight. Their intentions politically are to be admired but their accomplish ments do not come up to their expectations. lthout the material aid heretofore offered by the Populists, the Democrats can hardly hope to achieve success at the approaching contest. Members of the committee reached the conclusion that only a ticket of Simon pure Democrats will be named. It will be straight Democracy with the Kentucky brand. THINKS FARMING SHOULD BE TAUGHT. "The tendency of our educational system has been to educate the children away from the work by which a large majority must earn their living. The purpose should be to educate the children along the line of their work to fit them for the environment in which they will soon find themselves. I do not mean by this that all children should become farmers or that they should be taught that they ought to become farmers, nor that they should be discouraged in an amition to fit themselves for any other occupation to which their talents may lead them. What I mean to say is that since the greater portion of the people of this country must make their living by farming or other occupations that require a knowledge of the ele ments of agriculture, the public schools should in struct the children upon this subject. Too often teachers are in almost complete ignorance of practical j agriculture, and, I am sorry to say, some of them are not ashamed of their ignorance. I believe that a young man or woman who baa worked on a farm or at any other useful manual labor is a tatter teacher, other things being equal, than one who has not the knowledge that can thus be acquired. This subject could take the place of 'Nature Study,' and, if neces sary, we could abbreviate our arithmetic and geogra phy." J. H. Ackerman, state superintendent of schools. PRISON OFFICIALS CRITICISED. Governor Pardee this week made public the report of the prison directors on the Folsom break, accom panying it with a long letter in comment. The gov ernor says that he "most sincerely agrees" that the prison force showed "a total want of capacity and efli. -ciency"; that if the officers and guards had shown the same daring and nerve as the convicts, the latter would never have left the prison grounds alive; that henceforward the guards must fire, whatever the dan ger of injuring fellow-officers; that "orders given by officials in the hands of convicts are not the orners of officials but are the orders of the convicts themselves." He also "hopes the directors will not put off very long" the work of thoroughly reorganizing Folsom, with the necessity of which they affirm they are im pressed. The substitution of the present congregate system for the cellular system is approved by the governor, and it may be inferred from what he says that he will present recommendations along this line to the next legislature. We hope he will do so. Ar gonaut. UNJUSTLY SUSPECTED. The other day, a lady, while shopping, accidentally picked up another lady's umbrella from the counter and had the mistake pointed out to her rather J rigidly. She returned the umbrella with apologies, and then remembered that she had no umbrella with her at all. But as it had begun to rain, she bought one for her self, as well aB one for a birthday present for some one else. With the two umbrellas in her hand, she then boarded a car, and, as luck would have it, sat down opposite the very lady whose umbrella she had inad vertently picked up earlier in the day. The coinci dence was too much for the other lady. "I congratu late you on your successful morning," she said sarcas tically, as Bhe swept out of the car. Innocence should Lave asserted itself; but the rightful owner of the two THE WEDDING FOOL j ' When Mr. and Mrs. Clinton K. Keclcr of Syracuse,1 N. Y., turned from the altar at which they had taken the sacred and solemn vow the other day their loving, friends (locked around them to express their delight, and present their congratulations, says the Chicago Kecord-llerald. Suddenly while the bride was being j kissed by the gentlemanly ushers and the groom wasi applying chaste salutes to the lips of the bridesmaids several strong young men jHninced upon the happy couple and handcuffed them together. The key whs then thrown away, and Mr. and Mrs. Keeler were left to get apart when they happened to have time and could induce somebody with a tile to operate. Owing to the fact that they had arranged to leave on a through train shortly after the ceremony they had to go to the railway station locked together, and in that predicament get aboard the car. Of course the perpetrators of the "joke" considered this great fun, and if the newly married couple ex hibited any annoyance they were doubtless set down as poor, ungrateful wretches, who were incapable of appreciating a good thing. There are many kinds of fools in this world, and they are to be found in every crowd. They run to fires, they gather at dog fights, they rock boats, and they change large bills for strangers, but a careful study of the matter would probably show that finds are found in larger numbers at weddings than any where else in the world. There seems to be a general idea abroad, in fact, that one is not doing the proper thing at a wedding unless he is making a fool of him self. There are probably more kinds of foolitdmess indulged in at weddings than at all other ceremonies combined, and it appears that there is no help. The wedding fool is absolutely incorrigible. We might suggest that a good dousing in cold water would probably tend to diminish the ardor of the wedding fool, but there would be danger in a general deluge of bringing unnecessary discomfort to innocent people. The world is waiting for some public liene j factor to come forward with an effective and available; method of putting the wedding fool out of business. BUSCH !

In a recent libel suit against the editor of the Grants Pass Observer, Hon. R. D. Hume received a verdict for II damages. This causes the Albany Democrat to remark that the verdict was not very complimentary to the character of the party bringing the suit. The practice of instituting libel suits against publishers in this state is not receiving very great encouragement. Similar proceedings have recently been defeated by the Portland Oregonian and the Salem Journal. It would be a strange condition of aflairs if the pub lishers le prohibited by law from making reasonable criticism of the questionable transactions of individu als. The statutes of Oregon defining HU'l are already more severe than an impartial discussion of facts, in many instances, will permit without involving the publisher in unnecessary and costly litigat on. The North Yamhill Rkcokd has suspended, after seven years of publication. Limited patronage in the small field that the paper served, coupled with failing health of the editor, is the cause of the Record's demise. Si'Eakino about the Jesse James gang of outlaws, we apparently have right here in Oregon at the pres ent time an organized gang of desperadoes that could learn nothing of a criminal nature from the famous James' gang Referring to Salem people's resentment at asper sions cast on the city's water by the state board of health, Rev. I. D. Driver endorses the attitude of the Salem people, and adds that if he lived in hell he'd stand up for his country. That's too patriotic. Asto-rian. It is the opinion of the Albany Democrat that Dowie, who has styled himself Elijah No. 2, differ essentially from the Elijah of biblical times in that Elijah, the original, was never known to travel about in an automobile with a woman lavishly bedecked with diamonds and jewelry. Petitions asking Mayor G. B. Dimick to accept a renomination and serve at the head of the city gov ernment for the fourth term, are being vigorously cir culated by friends of the Mayor. An opposition can didate has not yet materialized. The deficiency of candidates for councilmen continues to be large.
