Students and advocates of agricultural education and training will find encouragement in the compre hensive plans now in process of being put in practical operation in Minnesota. Agriculture is to be intro duced extensively into the rural schools and a bulletin has already been prepared and published for the use of teachers. The book comprises over two hundred exercises and experiments and a copy will be fur nished U each rural teacher in the state. Timely ex ercises and studies are provided for each season of the year, and the topics under consideration are those of greatest practical moment to the farmers of the re spective localities. Each topic is treated under four subdivisions: First, the object sought; second, ma terials to lie used; third, plan of work; fourth, sugges tive facts to the teacher. Field crop?, horticulture, laundering, chemistry, stock feeding, housekeeping, dairying, cooking and sewing are thus systematically treated by educational experts. The system is not expected to work its way alone and unassisted amoDg the teachers, but the State De partment of Public Instruction for Minnesota has em ployed three skilled instructors whose duty it shall be to attend the summer schools for teachers and im part to them the most practical modes of instruction relating to these industrial subjects. The plan ap pears to be both sensible and expedient and other states might find it profitable to adopt it. This edu cational work in Minnesota is to be carried on in ad dition to the well supported farmers' institutes and the efficient agricultural college. The late Governor Mount labored strenuously to introduce a Bystem like thai, ahnvo ipsrribpl into Indiana, but his efforts failed of success. The movement, however, is not dead and the next Legislature will doubtless be pressed to arrange for the teaching of agricultural subjects in every school of the state-. In time no doubt this will be done by every state in the Union as it becomes more anu more recognized that agricul ' tural knowledge is the most important of all. There is under consideration by the Oregon City council a proposition by a Portland firm for a fran chise to erect at different points within the city drink ing fountains, in connection with which are to be maintained bill boards for advertising purposes. This proposition should not for a moment be considered. Nothing would be more unsightly than bill boards erected alongside the principal streets of the city. Our streets are none too presentable now without detract ing still further by converting them into cheap adver tising districts. The city has one public fountain that serves the purpose for which it was established and if others are needed the municipality can afford to provide for them. It is to be hoped that the coun cil will very expeditiously dispose of the matter by refusing to allow the subject to further engage its at tention. There are two good advertising mediums in this city that are available for all legitimate advertis ing and the antiquated use of an unsightly bill-board should be dispensed with. In this same connection it might be well to remark that although there is a city ordinance that prohibits the practice, some firms are causing advertisements to be printed on the side of the bluff, facing the business district of the city. As a city, the interests of this municipality require that these practices be abated at once. Because of legal technicalities that have been un earthed by industrious attorneys employed in his de fense, Pleasant Armstrong, the Maker county murder er, may escape the gallows and the punishment he deserves. Armstrong deliberately murdered his sweet heart, and justice will not be done if he is discharged. It is right that a lawyer should establish a reputation as a successful practitioner, but at the same time the meting out of justice to such criminals as Armstrong should cot be interfered with and sacrificed in the realization of that ambition. "I won.n be only too glad if bad a farm to go to," romaiked Peter Nehren, the court house janitor.whose scalp is among those demanded by the disgruntled Democracy. Shkuikf J. R. Siiwkk says that if he does have to go back to the farm in July, as predicted by the Cour ier, it will not take him as long to get ready as it has taken some of his predecessors from the minority party. Pikoai'sk of his failure to secure more prominent committee appointments in the organiiation of con gress, the Salem Sentinel says Representative Her mann is eliminated from the congressional fight in this district next Spring. Democracy is a negative quality that must neces sarily be tolerated. In local, as well as national af fairs, it is always opposing and seeking to discourage any movement that concerns the progress and pros perity of the country. This disposition on the part of the minority party is probably largely resjwnsiblo for the aggravated attack of indigestion that was disclosed by the editorial columns of the Courier in its last is sue. Tub action of President Roosevelt in refusing to con sent to the reinstatement of Asa B. Thomson, a receiver of the land office at LaGrande, seems severe in view of the fact that he was acquitted of the charge of irregular work in his office, because of which he was originally removed. In de fense of this position, however, it is understood that the authorities have other charges of irregular prac tices on the part of Thomson in connection with the I administration of his .office. The wholesale indict ment of prominent officers and politicians in this state of recent months has not been very complimentary, to say the least. If any action is to be taken on the jxirtage rond bill at the sjeeial session of the hgislature, it might be well for the state's legislators to take only such steps as will in every way encourage the building of the canal by the government and thereby save to the state the appropriation of $ 1 t.r,000 that has been made for the portage railway. The best interests of the people of Eastern Oregon, particularly the producers, can best be served if the legislature will legislato to the end that the purpose of the railroad corporation, which is apparently to defeat both enterprises, may be frustrated. The large interests of the eastern sec tion of the state require recognition in this very im portant matrVr, It is the opinion of the Oregon Law Journal that the problem of tax dodging can lo quite successfully treated by amending the law on assessment and taxa tion so as to cause the assessment roll to be printed in vV- MS: V v'l. 4 $ 4.

After correcting the tax law so as to insure the raising of needed revenue on the assess ment roll of 100'i, and removing any question that may exist aB to the validity of the statute which pro vides for the collection of fees by county recorders of conveyances for recording instruments, an adjourn ment Ehould follow. The demand is general over the state for the shortest session that is possible and at Cross? Tiik Oregon City Courier says "the county of Mar ion, which is no better county than Clackamas, does not owe one cent and its tax rate is lower than the tax rate in Clackamas. In addition, in the county of Marion, there is some ifo'i.OOO cash in the treasury. Funny, isn't it?" Frankly, it does look good to the Marion county tax payer.
