' qulfUy eJuDnit tq unwarranted as. gresalons upon territory wheiv srtlooim ar not wanted and the tendency of the people will be to administer a Jusi rebuke to the liquor Interea'.a of the state. There are probably thousand or wters in the state who have no personal objection to saloons, regard ing them as a neceasary evil, but who do and will oppose the establishment of them in the residence districts. They may take an occasional drink themselves, but they do not want their children constantly beset by the temp tations incident to saloons and the class of people, known a "bar-room bums," who have lost all respect for themselves and have none for anyone else. SALOONS AND THE FAIR. There ia a movement ' in Portland backed up by many representative cit- iseas to prevent the proximity of s loons surrounding the fair grounds of ." the Lewis and Clark exposition. It , ia not a movement of the prohibition ists or the local option contingent, but by citizens Irrespective of political af filiations or prohibition alliances. . It is a movement ' of " the respectable ele ment, many of whom have no obpec tioa to saloons in the city limits, but who are opposed to the contaminating influences Incident, of ' hangers-on in front of saloons at the gates of every entrance to the fair grounds. It is not even urged upon moral grounds, but to protect the reputation of the city of Portland and its people and the visitors who will come to the fair this year. It is a commendable desire on the part of the representative cltiiens to protect Portland's reputation and tot nave .eastern visitors return .".to their homes and say that Portland Is a city of saloons where vice and crime are the' salient features ' " Petitions to the common council to revoke the licenses issued have been turned down, and the people are coin pelled to Invoke local option that the people may have an opportunity to do what their' representatives in the de liberate and legislative body of the city refuse to do. In this the oppos Jn forces to saloons at the fair lTWlJ8 Qf!4 feave and no doubt will receive the support of a large majority j pf the voters Jn the district to W embraced in the prohibition section .WrottndJPf tb.e L$wls end Clark fair, , It teems apparent fo a casual ob server that the wholesale liquor nouses, who furnish the means to set ' up men in the saloon business, and the Jlquor dealers' association are stand ing In their own Mght. Today Oregon Is antagonistic to prohibition legisla tion, believing that It can not be made Operative Or effective, founded upon the experiences of prohibition states. There is also a strong sentiment against the present local option law Jri th9 b?Uef that H 1 too much of a Tjne-slded affair, but the persistent ef forts of the liquor dealers to dispose ef their wares and the establishment of saloons at the fair grounds is cer tain to work Up a ctrong sentiment all over the state in favor of the local option law and a continuance of the present tactics, upheld and indorsed by the common council of Portland Is certain to augment the forces of local . option and thousands of people will lay aside their personal opinions as to the efficacy of local option and vote for the amendment whenever and wherever it is submitted to a popular vote. Thus, the money realized from the sale of liquors to saloons will have to bt used, and considerable more, to light local option at the election next June when it will no doubt be submit ted to a vote of th people. Many voters who have no objections to saloons In certain prescribed limits of a city or municipality, will not the legislature. DUTY OF VOTERS. By invoking the referendum on the appropriation bill passed by the las', legislature, the question of approving the bill now rests with the voters of the state. The objection to the ap propriation bill waa not to the Item necessary for the maJntalnence of any of the state lnHJwticins located at the capital of the state, but to what Is termed the "normal school graft." An investigation of ' the matter has convinced th people that at leanjf three of the normal schools of the state are wholly unnecessary and are not in fact conducted as normal schools should be, that 4s to say, normal school Is supposed to be an educational institution for fitting young men and women as teachers. They were not intended to be attend ed by small children in the rudiment ary studies, neither were they Intend ed to take the place of high schools. while it may be true that a num ber of teachers are graduated from these schools every year, it is also true that branches are taught that more properly belong to the public schools, requiring a greater force of teachers, and when dependent upon the state, a large appropriation of funds. It hat been stated that the normal school at Drain in Douglass county Is the only school in that towa That there are no public schools and that the children of the town and Ira mediate vicinity are educated at the expirwa of t?je stats, wtiila every. other city or town in the state is taxed fetP the malntanence of tJM public Ithots. a the wll mfclnct of Dram,' includlnc the town there I less than 1000 population. There Is another normal school at Ashland, a few mites further south and In the adjacent county. Astoria or Clatsop county has no normal school and It has a population of 12,000 In the city and 18,000 in the county, and It is ov tM IIW to th, nearest, normal school. But aside from all these facts, the principal objection to the normal schools Is that there are three too many. If they are s ate institutions, supported by the state, then they muft be located at Salem under the provisions of the state constitution, which provides 'that all public insti tutions of the state, hereafter provided for by the legislative assembly, shall be loated at the seat of government." There has never been any objection to the Monmouth normal school, and no objection to one normal school in the state, but when there are three ad ditional ones in a state of less than 500,000 population, and every time there Is a session of the legislature they wanjt incra1 apprtoprjfatlon', the time has come to put a check to perverting public hinds for purposes that ere wholly unconstitutional, It is not a question of tlelfig up all the institutions of the state, nor Im- paring their efficiency, but it Is s question of tacking the normal school graft onto the appropriation bill. It is Impossible to Introduce a separate bill in the legislature for this pur pose; The representatives from the counties where tha normal schools are located insist and make combina tions to have it inserted In the gen eral appropriation bill knowing full well that an; appropriation bill fdr normal schools alone would not pass It Is for this reason and no other thMt the people of Ori- I gvn piopo.e to do what the legisla ture cannot and does not do, veto that portion of the appropriation bill providing for normal schools and In dqlng so they will be compelled to vet the entire appropriation bin. If this is done, the next legislature will be more careful and appropriation for normal schools will be lutroduged as separate bills, and tt will do away with the combinations made by which the fats of important bills depend upon the passage of appropriations for nor mal schools. o OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
