There Is a crowded and insufficient course up to twelve years of age for the children of the farmer and the work lngman ; who then leave and go to work; for the children of the so-called npper-clas3. there is a long and com plete course of study made so expen sive that none but the children of the rich may avail themselves of It Is It surprising that in these countries the working men and farmers do not get their rights? The classes who have the training and knowledge in evitably control the nation. Do we want such a condition following in Oregon? . Jefferson and the fathers of 1787 foresaw this danger and laid the foundations of the present system which provides free common-school education up to fourteen years of age, free high school education until eigh- teen years of age and after that free University education for those who are prepared for it In this way, thor ough training is the monopoly of no one class as in Europe. As a matter of fact a large percentage of the stu dents in state institutions are children of poor men. many of whom earn their way through. In the University of Oregou more than half the men belong to this class. Yet a dastardly attempt ia being made to cripple the institu tion in Oregon which stands for the thorough equipment of every boy and girl of ability, regardless of wealth or social rank. MATTER OF REGRET. The absolute suplneness of Congress in failing to extend the parcels post and establish postal savings banks must be an occasion of regret to every loyal Republican. Constant complaint is being made of the great expense of the postal service and especially of the rural routes. Postmaster General Meyer has pointed out that the reason rural routes and indeed the entire ser vice, do not pay is because Congress refuses to authorize these natural and profitable extensions which would im mensely benefit the people and would injure no one, but a few bankers and the express companies have long en joyed an unwarrantable monopoly and have mulucted the people mercilessly. If Speaker Cannon could be prevailed upon to let the House express itself on these subjects the legislation would go through with a rush. SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOLS. The eyes of hundreds of Grangers were opened at Eugene when they saw the splendid work that is being done by the University of Oregon. This institution should be Oregon's pride and its support is necessary. The cry that it is a rich man's school is not true, for the editor of this newspaper was fortunately able to at tend school there, and if it had been a rich man's school, he would have been elsewhere. The tendency to frown upon the ad vancement of education In Oregon is viewed with regret Men with earn est purpose are working for the es tablishment of a high school in Clack amas, that will enable every child in the county to procure a better educa tion, yet there are people who are shortsighted and are trying to array Oregon City against the county and are urging the voters to kill the meas- ure. We cannot have too many edu- j cational institutions in Oregon and j the common school is only a stepping j atone to something better. The last week of the campaign Is close at hand and prospects for Re publican success are mere than bright. The fact that Oregon will sound the gun for the whole nation In anticipa tion of the Presidential election will impel the Republicans of Clackamas County to vote their ticket straight from top to bottom. Another good reason that Is appealing strongly to the Republicans is the fact that de feat of Republican nominees will have a tendency to deal a death blow to the primary nominating system and cause a return to boss rule and con ventions. The direct primary is on trial this year and its perpetuation do ponds largely on the success or fail ure of the Republicans to support their entire ticket There is every indication that Clackamas County Republicans aro going to stand faithfully by their nom inees. There is a noticeable effort being made In some localities to dls credit the candidates for sheriff, as sessor and commissioner, and the Democrats have no hope of electing any of their candidates except Beatlo, Jack and Smith, and they are moving every wheel to persuade good Repub licans to forsake their party nominees and vote for Democrats, on the old worn out plea that there should be no politics in elections, and that it is a fine thing to divide np the offices, Republicans however, have been vic tims of this game before, and aro bul let proof against the blandishments of tho minority. The attendance at the Republican meetings in most cases has been over average aud great interest Is being taken. The candidates for county of fices have been this week adresslng the voters at Mullno, Macksburg, Clackamas and Killin. Tonight they go to Boring and tomorrow talk at Highland and Molalla. Tho itinerary for next week follows: Canby, Mon day; Sandy. Tuesday; Damascus, Wednesday; Beaver Creek, Thursday; Milwaukle, Friday. Two years ago tho Democrats start ed out to elect their nominees for clerk and sheriff, but dissentlon arose and after the election was over, How ard Latourette, the Democratic can didate for clerk, openly accused mem bers of his party of trading hi moff and throwing him down for Mr. Beatle. Information has reached The Enter prise from country precincts that ev ery effort Is being made through trad ing to accomplish the election of Bea tle, Jack and Smith, but the Republi cans have their eyes open to the game. The coming election will be from one standpoint the most critical in the history of Oregon. All the other states in th union will look to the elec tion returns on the second of June to see how the initiative and refereudum work3 in practice. If the results show that this new method of legislation leads to safe and conservative law making, that the safety of essential state interest and institutions are thereby safeguarded, we may look to the rapid adoption of direct legislation throughout the country. But if the re turns show that the majority of the people are too indifferent to express themselves at the polls, then other communities will undoubtedly pause and the progress of direct legislation will be jeopardized. The ballot at the coming election will be an amazing sheet of paper. The initiative and referendum amend ments take up nearly half of the bal lot space, though set in the finest type, and it Is safe to say that few voters will be able to wade through this mess understanding. The very last thing is the Prohibition amend ment, but it is not last in the minds of the saloon keepers and their friends, nor in the minds of the men who are working every minute to place Clackamas In the dry column. No man Is a good Republican who declines, without reason, to support his party ticket, or any part of it He may claim to be a Republican, but he Is not. Long memories ia politics may A Mistaken Idea Some people have an idea that in order to have a bank account, they must have a large sum to deposit; that the bank does not care to be bothered by small ac counts. This, however, Is not true ! of the Bank of Oregon City, which welcomes new ac counts, whether of $1, or $1000, and the same courtesy , and service is accorded the i small depositor as those in more fortunate circumstan i ces. j It is our object and wish to serve the public In finan cial matters In a manner that shall be satisfactory to all old or young, rich or poor. We want your banking bu siness and will be pleased to have you open an account with us. The Bank OF Oregon Gty come to the men who are fighting the party nominees in this campaign. Some day some of IUoho men will ask for something at the hands of tho ! party and then they will bo remembor- ed by tho men and the friends of the men who were knifed. This should not bo forgotten by thoso who are either quietly or opuniy antagonising tho Republican nominees for sheriff, assessor or commissioner. j The Oregou delegation to the Na tional Retail Grocers' Association Just ; adjourned at Boston, won a signal vic tory In securing the 1909 convention I for Portland. When one considers ; that the retail grocers are more num erous than any other class of business men, It gives an idea of the liumetiHO audience of merchants throughout this I country who will be Interested In hoar ! lug from Oregon during tho next ' twelve months. HUNTLEY DELEGATE TO NATIONAL CONVENTION CLACKAMAS COUNTY MAN WILL GO TO CHICAGO TO HELP NOMINATE PRESIDENT. Republicans aro congratulating C. G. Huntley over his election by tho Republican State Convention as a dolegate-at-large to the national con vention which meets next month at Chicago. Mr. Huntley was enthu siastically endorsed and warmly sup ported by the delegation of 11 men from Clackamas County and the fact that they worked heartily for his elec tion had a great deal to do with the result. Mr. Huntley, while a com paratively young man, has been deep ly Interested In Republican success in Clackamas county for many years. Ho served three consecutive terms In the state legislature, being one of tho very few men to be elected to a third term from Clackamas County, where there is seemingly a deep rooted pre judice against third terms. Mr. Hunt ley Btood stanchly by Senator Fulton In tho fight for re-election by the lat ter, and he is showing his consistent Republicanism by working for the election of H. M. Cake, as against a Democrat. Clackamas County has been fortunate in obtaining a dele gate to the national convention this year, as Representative James U. Campbell was a national delegate four years ago. SOCIETY The Derthlck Club held a meeting Friday at the home of Mrs. C. G.

Scores cf Oregon City people can tell you about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many a happy citizen makes a public statement of his experience. Here Is a case of It. What better proof of merit can be had than such endorse ment? Theodore Heurth, living at Park place, about two miles from Oregon City, Ore., says: "I found Doan's Kid ney Pills do Just what is claimed for themm. For a long time I suffered a good deal with lameness and aching over the kidneys and irregularity of the action of the kidneys. The trouble was not severe enough to lay me up, but was very annoying and made it difficult for me to stoop or lift any thing without my back paining me. I was induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills from the recommendation of a friend, and went to Huntley Bros.' drug store for them. Their use absolutely re moved the trouble with the kidneys, strengthened my back and in every way proved your remedy to be worthy of all confidence." For sale by all dealers. Price SO cents.
