for an ex(osition.
The state will lie organized hv
counties, each count v U'ing made
an exhibit unit, although cities that
so desire may make separate exhib
its. The work will lie arranged b
grades . commencing with the pri
mary and ending with tlie high
school. This plan will enable visi
tors to understand the educational
work of the state in the order of de
velopment. Circulars on tlie sub
ject 'will lie sent to every school in
the state. Compositions of pupils
djniw.ings and pttinfinga made by
students, and photographs of school

Having for four sueeossiixe years
served the eople of Oregon

the present incumbent, will be, suc

A. Sonnner, flavor-elect, Seldom
does a man serve for that length of
time in a public eapaeitv and give
the general satisfaction that Mayor j
Pinuek has given people of Oregon
City. . He has leen critieized some
but. a saint in a similar capacity
would invite more or less criticism.
The fact that Mayor Dimick was
elected for the fourth time without
opposition is considered a flattering
indorsement of his administration
and his personal popularity.
Dr. Sommer. who succeed Mavor
Dimiek. was elected by a handsome
vote aud promises the people of this

NO GOOD KOAPS LEGISLA
TION' THIS SESSION.
Sentor I.at inter, of South Caro
lina, the father of the Good tioads
movement in Congress, reluctantly
admits that all hope for any legisla
tion along that line this session
must 1m alvandoned. The slogan of
''economy" th.1t has Iteen sent out
by the leaders of both houses has
sounded the death-knell of tutorial
legislation requiring great sums of
money to render it effective. The
senator's idea is emUxlied in a bill
favorably reported last session bv
as City Attorney, but with this ex
ception it is not known that Dr.
Summer contemplates any other
changes in the sub-ordinate officers
of the city at this time. At the
regular meeting of the Council
next Wednesday evening, is is ex-1 .
pected that Recorder Bruce C. Cur
ry will le elected to succeed himself
for another year.
: o
The movement, which, up to the
last session, liad been treated rather
jocularlv, gained standing through
the favorable report of the commit
tee on agriculture, considered ifne of
I the most important in the Senate.

sult that they will have more time
and energy to give to their legisla

however, will Imve before them at
least a potential subject for con
sideration the proposal to amend
the federal Constitution so as to
secure the popular election of Sena
tors. Reports from the different states
secured at the close of the legislative
season a year and a half ago showed
that ftp to that time the legislatures
of twenty-two states had passed res
olutions in favor of the constitu
tional reform, and that of these thir
teen had formally demanded of Con
gress that a constitutional conven-!
turn U called to submit such an
amendment to vote. Of these thir
teen states, one is in the South.

THE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT
Plans for the educational depart
ment of the Oregon display at the
Lewis Clark Centennial have been
outlined by General Supervisor R.
Us from r.l.OOO to 100,004) fraud
ulent paiK'rs. The newly arrived
immigrants with such papers in
their hands are the ignorant tools
of the enemies of democratic gov
eminent. They cast their votes 'to
thwart the will of the jteople. They
are a peril to the nation.
What is needed is a revision of
the laws governing the technical
details of the process of naturaliza
tion, to the end that these frauds
will be made, if not impossible, at
least extremely difficult. President
Roosevelt vigorously urges 'on
gress to act. He asks for laws tqiec
ifving exactly what courts may is
sue naturalization papers, prescrile
ing the testimony upon which naturalization-
may le conferred, re
quiring the publication of all ap
plications in advance of action, es
tablishing a uniform certificate to
be used exclusively in all states, and
requiring the courts to make regu
lar returns of all naturalizations to
the secretary of state.
Concerning these recommenda
tions there can be no honest dif
ference of opinion. Congress should
