Ex-Oovernor Bob Taylor, of Ten nessee, is soon to deliver a series o lectures through the state of Oregon, commencing at Ashland, dosing st Baker City. Governor Taylor Is one of the best known men in the United States and is ranked as one of the most entertaining platform speakers In tbe country. Tbe fsmous campaign made between him and his brother for the governorship of Tennessee, Is familiar to ail. It is stated authoritatively tbat the distinguished orator will Include Eugene in the list of Oregon towns to be visited. An Oregon Boy. Lee Moxom Travis, of Eugene, and a graduate of tbe U. O., now attending the law department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Atbor, won second place In the class oratorical contest held recently, and the successful orator graded only a fraction of one per cent higher. Mr. Travis represented tbe University of Oregon lu the state intercollegiate contest in 1890. Mr. Travis I a platform speaker of much ability. His recent success is tbe more marked in that bis class bss 262 members. The seeming Ignorance ou the part of voter regarding the new eleotion law requiring that before a man can vote he -hall register. Is nothing less than astonishing. The Guars has published the law several times, all other paper lu the state htve done likewise, still there are those who are as blind as a bat on the subject. There sre those, too, who think that If they fail to regMerln time to vote in June they will be glveu an opportunity to vote at the national election lu November. Here, too, Iguorance Is displayed. If s man falls to register when the books close ou May 15, he is barred from voting at both state and natlona elections. An appointed officer Is in every voting precinct In the county, and there Is uo excuse for anyone to fall to register. All should realize ibat the time Is short aud to procrastinate Is to lose tbs right of suffrage. School Clerks' Salaries. Salkh, Or., March 1, 1900. Win. M. Miller, County Superintend ent Schools, Eugene, Oregon. Dear Sir: According t circular letter No. 9, school clerks are not allowed by law to use any of the com mon school fund for salarle. This decision was givcti in order to give you a working basis to disallow the exorbitant salaries to school clerks which has been the practice, In some districts, lu the past. However, I would suggest that It might be as well to allow school clerks a nominal sum for their salaries; enough at least to cover the ordinary expenses, suoh as postage, stationery, etc., aud perhaps a small sum for their service. Your truly, J. II Al KKHMAN, Supt. Public IiiHtructlou. State Oratorical Contest.
