The , etate may have too many libraries, but there is where there is a d if rference between her and Patagonia. .Oregon has an agricultural college, but congress put it here, and the people- couian t neip 4t nor teachers prevent It.

That is bad enough in a governor of the, Empire State, but it Is worse now that the attempt is being made to Inflate Hughes into a national figure.

T HE (DETROIT NEWS remarks: "Editor George Harvey of Morgan's periodicals, having secured the Tale lectureship on Journalism and Public Affairs,' will doubtless tell his classes how Mor can pumps it into Roosevelt with" one hand and reaps a panic harvest with the other." Colonel Harvey is a man of great ability and Industry, and of moral cburage, too, and Is doubtless quite sincere in ,hls Opinions, but on the very large subject assigned him for these lectures he is totally unfit to serve as an Instructor of youth. His views are narrow and bourbonlsh. His world Is. New York city, and Wall street la It. soul. His voice is the voice of that money mart and its immediate environs. : He speaks and thinks for the few and despises or Ignores the -many. As the Detroit News suggests, J.s Pierpont Morgan is his Ideal character, .and the presi dent is a low-lived scrub because he sometimes considers "the man with checked shirt." . It would be a great national- ca lamity for the youth of the country acduire bo broader . Ideas of Journalism and public affairs" than they will get from Mr. Harvey. Fairbanks should be nominated, and if he could be nominated his elec tion would be Improbable. The rea sons for this are "easier Imagined than described." Mr. Fairbanks Is a rather likable man. He is a man of a good deal of quite varied abil ity. He Is especially a good busi ness roan, of a common type. He Is Inveighed aralnst in all the moods and tenses for simply demanding that this alleged estate or graslng farm be sold in accordance with the letter and spirit of the late "land act, 1903," and be di vided among the tenants who had been previously evicted from it. This Is a earn Die of thoimanda of dia. patches which flood the United States for the delegation of American citi zens In order to challenge their sym pathy In favor of Irish landlords, and to denounce the wickedness and bru tality of Irish tenants for almply le gally trying to recover their farms. Your readers may not be aware that there exists In Dublin Castle a "special bureau" for the express purpose of suborning witnesses, and of manufac turing Irish news for foreign countries.

T 13 remarked by the New York American that , only some quite small American; war vessels and two monitors out' of commission are now left on the Asiatic and Phil ippine stations. ' Four new armored cruisers, the Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland - and Colorado have come across the' Pacific to this coast, and there are also assembled on .this coast .the ) new armored cruisers California, Nebraska and South Dakota, and the protected cruisers .

TherCire also on ORTLAND AS a whole, as well as a large number of bank de positors more particularly, is to be congratulated upon the outcome of the three bank failures that occurred here during the past few months. It appears probable now that not a depositor will lose a dollar; that eventually, and within a reasonable time, everybody will be paid in full. The first failure looked for a long time as If it would result in large losses to many depositors, but by strenuous efforts it is expected that the business will be taken over by another bank that will pay In full The second failure was never con sidered a bad one; it was a suspen sion of a sound and safe bank In con sequence of a prolonged run caused by thoughtlessly or maliciously wag ging tongues, and it will soon re sume business, and will no . doubt enjoy the confidence of the public hereafter. The third failure was not really a bank failure, for the concern did not do a legitimate banking business, it appears to have been engaged in wildcat speculations, and in unuBual and unlawful uses of depositors' money. It was a freak among bank ing institutions, the like of which we are not likely-to see again here soon. I Very; heavy Jossea . to depositors, gnd perhaps to the state, would have re sulted ' except for the prompt and vigorous-action of the governor and other state officers, and the volun tary action of Mr. W.

Another Simple Rat Cure. To the Editor of The Journal As war is now declared on the rat family In the coast cities, and having read of the means , used to kill rats, I would sug gest using carbon bisulphide In the fol lowing manner; Take narrow strips of cloth and roll into small balls about 1H Inches in diameter. Dour about a table- spoonful of rbon bisulphide oti- a ball and. roll It into the mouth of the rat hole. A. gas will form at once heavier than the air, which will roll down the nasaaveway and kill the young aa well aa the old rats, mice and all vermin In the hole.. If the. hole leads upward It will not work, but must be put In where they lead downward. This ia also very successfully used on . ground squirrels. gophers, etc., also where weevil have gotten Into grain.- .Pour some into piatea ana set on top or tne bin or pile of bags. I think It will kill bubonic neas. - ,. ca. DAYTON. m V'" A Recipe for Kisses.
