Elk City Institute.
Every year for the past four years
Superintendent Bethers has promised
a loeal institute to this place, and each
year has failed to keep his promise.
This year he appointed one on Satur
day, the 20th, and notified our clerk
and advertised the eame in tbe county
papers. Our people were well pleased
with the appointment and tastily dec
orated a hall with flags and bunting
and made ample arrangements for the
entertainment of teachers and vistors.
On the day of the institute Mr. Beth
ers sent word that he could not get his
folks together, and that there would be
no institute. Not hearing of the in
ability of the superintendent to get his
folks tocethnr in timp. tfnHipi- nnA
visitors came in from Yaquina, Eddy
ville, Chitwood, Salade and the inter

was in waiting. After a brief discussion
of the situation it was decided to hold
an institute regardless of the superin
tendent and his folks.
While the time was brief for arrang
ing a program, yet when the people
assembled at 1 o'clock, every thing was
in order and the program was carried
out with much enthusiasm. In some
respects it was a departure from ordi

enjoyed and every one seemed well
paid for their time and trouble In at

What Is the Matter with Our Su
perintendent?
Under the latter order of business A.
B. Clark introduced the following reso
lution and moved its adoption:
Whereas. The action of the county
superintendent in appointing this insu
tute and tbeu countermanding it at so
late a date that teachers and patrons
could receive no notice of it is a mis
demeanor, militating against the edu
cational interests of the county, ruff
ling up the tempers of the echoolma'ams
and inducing the use of strong adjec
tives by the schoolmasters and patrons,
and against the peace and dignity of
the state of Oregon, therefore
Resolved, That the office of county
superintendent be declared vacant and
that this institute proceed to elect a
new superintendent.
On motion of Miss Tucker of Salado
the teachers engaged in active school
work were excused from taking part in
this revolutionary work. The resolu
tion was then adopted and Dr. F. M.
Carter was elected superintendent
The doctor thanked the convention
for the honor conferred and oromised.
after looking up the matter of salary,
to devote a large portion of his time to
institute work.
P A. Miller criticised the doctor for
giving the salary instead of the work
his first thought.
After passing a resolution declaring
this to be the moBt beneficial, enter
taining and soul-Inspiring institute
ever held in Lincoln county, and a mo
tion requesting the secretary to furnish
a copy of the proceedings to each of
the county papers, the institute ad
journed sine die. A. B.' Clark, Sec.

The Pacific Commercial Advertiser
of Honolulu, II. T.; combats the fre
quent aesertion that President Roose
velt is not an orator. We are inclined
to adopt tbe Advertiser's defluitlon of
"orator." Here it is: "Oratory mutt
be judged by its practical re
sults. If the speaker mould
the audience to his way of thinking,
persuades it to do this or that, forms
public sentiment aa he wills, it does
not matter if his delivery Is aa bad iih
that of the late T. De Witt Talmairi.
his education as neglected as was Pat
rick Henry's, bis vocabu arv aa wpiLU
as Dennis Kearney's he is still tho
orator. On the 'oter' Wud ' jf tb
speaker can only titillate the ear..)'.!'
pratpry is of so low a type that it al:
most uecomes worct-mongenng. In tbe
higher eenno McKinley was an orator
and Roosevelt Is one. What they ltuvo
said becomes history In its nextanaly

sound rather than to the sense." ' '
