IT iIIG JOURNAL, believe it can give wise advice to those who are participating, pro and con In the discussion of the appro priation" for the state university There ought to be no occasion for resort by one side to abuse of the other. The subject Is not one to necessarily elicit displays of bad temper. It Is a mere question of public policy "with reference to higher education and people can nat urally differ on It without either be ing guilty of bad faith or bad mo tives, in contributions that hare appeared in The Journal there have been many innuendoes, slurs and im putations of various kinds. These things in the discussion of an edu cational policy serves no good pur pose, hut, on the contrary, do much T harm. They are more likely to dls HE fire drill has usually. If not credit than to benefit the cause in Invariably,, been effective in which they Are invoked, whether it : public schools to prevent a he by opponents or supporters of panic, but it failed yesterday at the appropriation. From the be- Cleveland, and a frightful and terri- ginning of time, It has been habitual ble holocaust of children . resulted, for men to differ In opinion, even The teacher apparently did all they on the simplest proposition. It will eonld, one of them lost her lite in at- be so until the mlllenlum, and, ,es- temptlng to stem the panic-stricken pecially on. Issues - of educational crowd of children and another will character, public welfare will be die. - Possibly the fire drill had not promoted if a spirit of tolerance and been autficlently practiced. Whether sincerity shall prevail. It Is manl 0 or. not, the catastrophe .teaches 1 festly a toj?Ic over which the dlscus the necessity of its frequent andlslon should be one of reason, and thorough practice In our crowded public schools. The building was of brick and wood, and the fire seems to have ' made very rapid headway, so that perhaps so severe a test of discipline has pot occurred "before, yet it seems from the account that all or nearly - all the children might have escaped If they had not become panlc- stricken. Again, impress upon chil dren the supreme importance. In such a case, of keeping cool and obeying orders or of obeying orders - whether! they can keep cool or not. '.'This is the principal lesson of the awful tragedy at Cleveland. - The matter of exits is another. In - the North - Collin wood school ' building there--were two exits, but one of them was closed. This looks like a piece of gross and criminal ' carelessness. Theatres have been . forced to provide numerous exits, hut we leave our school houses and .' churches with but two. Perhaps more are not easily practicable, but unless entirely impracticable they - should - be provided, and always -when the -room -Is ill led left free tb be . instantly opened. This is another lesson worth studying closely. The horror of It some 170 children,- a moment before bright, happy, full of life and vigor, the pets and darlings of scores of house , holds trampled and mangled and burned to death almost as quickly aswe can thus mention "the great calamity! The scene is more than sorrowful; it is sickening. To gaze upon It, with even the mental vision, does no good. Let us learn Its les son, and, shuddering, turn away. not of insinuation or Intimidation. The Journal's suggestion Here made is not In one Interest or the other, but for the good -of both. A further suggestion to corre spondents will not be amiss. More than once the Oregon Agricultural college has been drawn Into the ar gument, for comparison or other wise, both by friends and opponents of the university appropriation. This is a feature that ought to be elim inated. Its effect can only be harmful, by reason 'of its tendency to create an tagonlsms between the two big te institutions, and of a character that ought not to be aroused. Both In stitutlons have their field, and both are, The Journal believes, doing most excellent' work. The spirit of the hour and of the future should h construction for both, and not destructive of either. The wisdom of such a course ought to be so ap parent to the friends of each that the suggestion here made ought to be sufficient to end the matter. STAND BY YOUR GUNS. FAILURE OP REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. A COMMERCE WITH AMERICA. SOUTH c OMMERCE between the United States and the South American republics Is Kratlfylnxly in f creasing, and will continue to Increase without any ship subsidy. Secretary of State Root helped the commercial relations between this country and those countries by his visit last year. Director Barrett has helped by his various services, and the trip if the fleet will help. " The figures are encouraging. In 1885 we Imported Cut $218,000,000 worth of products from all the Latin American states, mostly coffee and rubber. The Importations , for 1907 exceeded $600,000,000, and the in crease has been steady. But there are Indications that the Increase will be more rapid,' .tor. .the Industries of the United States are becoming more and more dependent upon tropical and semi-tropical products. This 1s true of rubber, and more especially of cacao, of which we im ported last year $13,000,000 worth. Our leather manufacturers consume great numbers of South American hides and large quantities of quebra cho and other tanning agents. We are buying and -need more Argentine .wool, the importation of which will not materially injure our own wool Industry., And It beef continues to advance, or even is" held at the prices of the last 'two pr three years, we will need, "and unless the beef truttt Is I strong enough to prevent will get; many cattle from the south ern eouutrles.';5 ; ;;. As a nation we are continuing to substitute coffee and cacao for. tea, and the Imports of coffee for I9pt were $87,000,000 .pounds,! nearly double those of 1890. Tea between t he same years Increased only from F 4 .000,000 to - 86,000,000 pounds, i;.(wlEg a great falling off 1 of con GREAT DEAL Is said these days about the sacrednesB or infallibility, or at least the desirability and necessity, of preserving representative , govern ment. , a strictly Republican lorm of government, and not pushing any farther fdrwftrd toward a pure Bern ocracy. But mere , is the Chicago Rectrd-Herald, a prominent Repub lican newspaper, saying: We have In this state what la called renreaentatlve government, but every time the legislature la In eeeslon we re ceive renewed evidence that the assem bly meets to resist the demands of the pooble. The report of the Legislative Voters' league presents some of the moves In the last campaign of resist ance. It refers to the obstructive tac tics that were employed against the direct primary bill; to the defeat of the Crook county civil service bill; to the defeat of the bill allowing cities and villages throughout the state to regulate the price of gas. This, how ever, Is only a Jist for purposes of Il lustration, and Is therefore by no means complete. Other striking cases of the use of obstructive tactics against measures plainly in the in terest of the people might be called A PRINCIPLE that was good yes terday, Is good today. It di rect election of senator was sound doctrine in Republican slate platforms and In Democratic state platforms In Oregon for years past, it ' Is sound doctrine for all newspapers In Oregon to advocate today. If 66,850 voters of Oregon, with only 16,354 voting against it, have adopted a measure that makes direct election possible, that is full warrant for every such newspaper to stand by the doctrine. If any man or group of men claim to be for direct election, but oppose Statement No. 1, it is full and for mal notice of Insincerity. It Is im possible for any may to be sincerely for direct election, and sot be a 'launch supporter of the present Oregon plan. The voters, by a tremendous flood of ballots of nearly four to one, have declared for It. The question of whether or not they are to have It, largely rests with the country presv. If the men of this class t And resolutely by the principle, and fight it to a finish, they will be as certain to win as that the sun 111 set on election day. They have the truth with them, and by that token are thrice armed. They are lose to the people and by redoub ling their efforts can overwhelm and put to rout the present effort to discredit popular choice of senator in this state. A more important responsibility, or a greater opportunity to do good for their countrymen never fell to the lot of newspaper workers. They are on the outposts In a movement, that pursued to its ultimate, means the certain reform of the United States senate. If they surrender, and allow the experiment In Oregon to fall, a reactionary movement will set in from whlqh recovery will be slow and tedious. They have the power and the means of victory if they will stand by their guns and keep their colors flying. They should neither underestimate ' their 'Own capabilities In this crisis, nor under value the importance of their cause. Leap Year Letters aftaai1i In' that j4f v ! O.ntamliar I ' 'T . ....t-. ....

Waldo, Or., March i.To the Editor of The JournalBoss rule and corrup tion In the Republican party of Oregon led to the adoption of Statement No. 1. The first I ever saw I received by mall from Jonathan Bourne with a re quest to sign and return it to him. X saw at once that to do so was to aid In the election of Mr. Bourne. I am a Democrat, but the principle Involved so Interested me that I signed and re7 turned it without waiting to consult anyone. I also voted for Mr. Bourne, not be cause he was my preference, but to aid In establishing Statement No. 1 in Ore gon. The Republican party manage ment In this state had become so sweep ing and odious to Its respectable mem bers that they had conceded us a Demo cratic governor. I could see nothing wrong in my vote for a Republican United States senator.' and I was pre pared to Dut mr hand on any Demo cratic member of the legislature who dared refuse to adopt the people'a will. And we may mark it on me panngs that thoae men who cannot give up corrupt politics are the ones' who are responsible for past political conditions In our great state. From MIsS Poneorn to Mr. Cuffs !

It represents some thing and " somebody, and, of course, it must have its reasons for doing so. But- this means, necessarily, that It betrays the people as a whole. It is shameful and humiliating that official representatives . are thus false to their trust and that If we had to depend on these representatives alone conditions would be much worse than they ars Were it not for the press and the ac tivity of civlo; associations the legisla tive tricksters would be generally tri umphant But It Is. to be hoped that through, the new primary law the peo ple may be able 'to secure fit nominees who Wlll really represent them. .All this Is true not only in Illin ois but In : most, other states, and it Is true of the' nation as represent ed by congress. In a thousand and one case, the people, the masses,; the great - majority, are not. well served, are lost sight of, are be trayed, for. one ' cause or another. We do not mean to say that repre sentative government," though thus largely a failure, should be ' aban doned; it is necessary; but the peo pie . musU take a greater Interest and part In their affair., and exer cise more of their reserved power-i- forU power reside, in them. "And,f after. as , the Record-Herald says a prlv mary law, such as we have la .Ore gon; and the initiative and refertn- There are various facts and cir cumstances which Indicate that President Castro of Venezuela is right in -his contention with certain citizens of the United States; that they were playing a big bame of corporation graft down there, and Castro would not stand for It. Then they ran home to Uncle Sam and want him to force Castro to let them play jtfut the game. and we must look with suspicion on any man or set of rn who express fear of the people, ana especially ir they are clamoring for the reinstate ment of political conditions which we have had to put down because of their corruption. if it is a proper tnmg to elect presi dential electors and send them to ft national convention Instructed, why may we not so Instruct the members of our legislatures. I have supported that the purpose of electing members to the re spective legislatures is a matter of ex pediency; that It is not possible for all of the voters of a state to attend a session of Its legislature and take active part In its proceedings; so the plan was adopted . of. electing a few men to go there aa the people's agents to do the work for them. That work, SO fat as the, electing of United States senators is concerned, has not been done honest ly and promptly by these agents and employes of the people; so that the voters Irrespective of party have de cided through Statement No. 1 that they will instruct these agents In the fu ture "so mote It be.'r It seems to me It Is an extraordinary proceeding for these political wire pullers who fear the result to say to the people of a free country, "V 'do npt want you to Instruct us; we want you to send ua there as your repre sentatives, but do not take the pie from the crust with your instructions. It may suit you to Instruct us, but we do not want It, because it destroys party harmony." This position savors strongly of Boss Tweed's or Schmlts' replies to the suf frages of the people; only it is a degree milder; it premises, however, to nature well with age. It Is lust as right and proper to in struct the members of a legislature itt the polls as it Is to elect and instruct our presidential electors; and the voters of all parties will be wise to steer clear of every man who opposes the rule of the majority bv and through statement ino. i. w.

Frederick II. Xewell's Birthday. Frederick H. Newell, chief engineer of the reclamation service of the United States, was born- In Bradford, Pennsyl vania, March 6, 1862, and was gradu ated from the engineering department of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology in 1886. Immediately after the completion of his studies he took up irrigation worn in uoioraao. He en tered the employment of the Irrigation survey as a hydraulic engineer In 1888, and has continued in the service of the government ever since. When the re clamation service was established by act Of congress of June 17, 1902, Mr. Newell was appointed chief engineer, and one year ago he succeeded Charles D. Walcott as director of the service. Mr. Newell has spent practically the whole Of his professional career in reclaiming the arid lands of the west Under his guidance the reclamation service has grown to be a most important branch of -the government service. The work of the service, which was of most In significant proportions a few years ago, now gives employment to 10,000 persons and Involves the expenditure ap- Sroximately of 81,000.000 a month, everal great Irrigation projects have been completed In the western states.
