The graduates of Harclay High have
decided to aid In the work of securing
a county high school, ami will circulate
petitions and assist In spreading infor
mation likely to result In Its adoption.
This was decided on nt the meeting
of the alumni association In Knapp's
hall Friday evening of lust week.
Attorney Chris Schuebel finally
won the district attorneyship over all
competitors, which goes to show what !
"Dutch pluck" can accomplish.
The crowned heads of Europe hated
Napoleon because he was not "to tne
manor born." The principal antipa
thy to Schoubel seems to come from
men who were born with a silver
spoon in their mouths, men who have
had superior advantages for school
ing. All of which goes to show that
education does not necessarily In
i crease the "milk of human kindness."
The Oregonlau has considerable to
say these days nlout Senator Hourno
winning over the. wishes of Fulton,
Hawley and Ellis. Don't get mixed on
this proposition; Hawley and Ellis
had no bustucsg to butt Into this
fight; they had nothing to say and
were out of place in doing so. The
fight was between Senator Fulton and
Senator ltournc, and when Fulton saw
how weak he was he attempted to
strengthen his fences by asking the
two Congressmen to come to his aid.
In attempting to aid Fulton Congress
men Hawley and Ellis were entirely
out of place, and the snub adminis
tered to them by President Roosevelt
was entirely deserved.

COREY TO THE FRONT AGAIN.
There Is talk of Corey divorcing
Maybollo llllliuan and re-marry In hlH
first wife. And so far we see no "loud
and long" protests from the "moral"
people. What right has he to divorce
his second wife? There was a loud
protest against his divorcing his first
wife, why not against this second di
vorce? Anil If It is confusion for the
divorcing of his ,lrst wife and the mar
people who are wlso do want. And the
recent Hurry, having made It patent
that something must be done to pro
tect depositors, the banks at oneo
have "rushed to the rescue" with a
scheme of their own, with ti view to
checkmating some plan by the gov
ernment that will really control them.
It the Administration allows the hanks
to foist this new plan to avoid govern
ment control, It will fall In its duty to
the people.
Isn't It alMiut time that attacks on
officers anil attorneys prosecuting men
on criminal charges were stopped?
Cannot the nubile see that these lit-
rylng of Maybelle (Jlllnian will It "t i tacks are for the purpose of dlscred-

Heney promises that the land fraud
cases will begin Monday, on schedule
time, and that so far as he knows
there are no delays planned for.
The Supreme Court has decided
that a strap Is not a whip. But the
the strap, when closely applied to the
back of the email boy, will 6tlng none
the less for this decision.
Tiy Is the Oregonlan force of writ
ers so bitter against the appointment
of Chris Schuebel? Is his known hon
esty likely to stand in the way of
the acquittal of some land-grabbing
friend in or around the Oregonian office?

Heney suggests that Senator Fulton
sue Lincoln Steffens for his attack.
Will Heney then come to the rescue?
Certain it is that Heney wishes to
have a contest with the Senator, and
if the people are wise they will pour
no oil on the troubled waters.
It Is no surprise that ex-Governor
Geer has announced his candidacy for
Congress in the Second Oregon dis
trict. Had It been announced that a
campaign would pass without Geer be
ing a candidate it would have given
the politicians a real Jolt. Eugene

Certain of Mr. Scheubel's critics
are trying to make much out of the
fact that he has not always voted the
Republican ticket. We see. no crime
in voting as his conscience dictates,
so that he did not profess one thing
and then go behind the screen and
vote another.
The mysterious moves of the Jap
anese the past few days simply illus
trates anew that old theory that i
man or nation which comes into quick
prominence because of physical prow
ess usual requires a hard bump to
bring home the realization that "there

have found themselves in bad compa

Senator Fulton Is out in an open let
ter In which he denounces as wilfully
false any statement that Mr. Heney
may have made concerning his public
or private acts in which he Is charged
with corruption. It has been several
months since Lincoln Steffens pub
lished several pages of hot stuff on the
Senator, but so far as we have seen no
attempt to call Mr. Steffens to ac
count The Senator should go after
all these fellows who are charging
him with acts not strictly honorable,
and make them all show up. If Mr.
Fulton is innocent there is no reason
why be should sit still under calumnies.

t : : -
When Mr Heney reiterates his
statement that he can prove what ho
has aid concerning Senator Fulton and
corruption, the Senator rushes Into
print and denounces Heney as a liar.
Perhaps Senator Fulton is not guilty,
we cannot say, and of course he Is en
titled to the benefit of the doubt as
between man and man until proven
guilty. Rut the fact remains that the
thief and the robber, when accused,
usually comes back with the rejoinder,
"liar"; In this, at least. Senator Fulton
follows the regular rule. And there Is
this further fact, it is the height of Im

In the magazine arti
cles published concerning laud frauds
In Oregon, In w hich Senator Fulton
name was used, the Intimation Is
made that Senator Fulton has commit
ted criminal acts, but that they were
"outlawed" so far as prosecution was
concerned. This new controversy be
tween Senator Fultou and Heney
seems to be a nicely planned coup on
the part of Heney to arouse the Ire of
Fulton to a prosecution of Heney so
that In his defease he may give the
public these facts that are outlawed
as to prosecution of Fulton, but still
good as evidence In a defensive libel
case. If Fulton Is guilty which quite
a number of people would be glad to
show we hope the case may go to
trial and the proor be given; if he 1
not guilty. It is due to Senator Fulton
that the people know that fact, and
hope the Senator will push the
Issue, standing or falling on the farts
as they exist. In any event, if the
Senator full in vindication he Is not
a fit man to represent the interests of
a greut State like Oregon.

our various cities I stirs no apparent
rotation to the magnitude of municipal
undertakings, except perhaps that as a
general rule It may U- sstd that th
larger the field of operations tho stron
ger Is the grip of the Ihiss and the
greater the amount of graft. The com
mission sets aside this particular po
litical theory with tho statement, "
are unable to recommend uiunh'tpat
ownership as a political panacea." In
other words, It concurs In tho teach
ings of tho parable of the talents that
unfaithfulness lit a few things doesn't
indicate a likelihood of faithfulness In
more Important things.
Taken as a whole, tho message of th
commission to our cities Is: "(Jo slow

demagogues or visionaries, for the

Advocates of municipal ownership
toll us that tho ownership and manage
ment of public utilities by the munici
pality Is Invariably accompanied by
greatly Increased Interest In munici
pal affairs by the rate payers. As has
been pointed out In Uicho columns on
many occasions, this Is one of the pet
theories which, ns a theory, Is Indis
putable, but which In actual practice
has proved time after time most dis
appointing. Another Instance has Just come to
hand. Edmonton Is extensively adver
tised as tho banner municipal owner
ship town of the Canadian west. Its
civic officials have acquired much dex
terity In throwing botuiiiets at ono an
other and even nt themselves. Accord
ing to theory, public iuterest In munici
pal affairs In that town should alwoya
be at a white bent. Hut It Is not.

opinion upon bylaws adopted by the
