Dil lingham misquotes, (probably unintentionally) what The Jour nal said regarding the pay of teach ers. It was not stated, as he says, that "$25 per month la the princely compensation of many and $40 and board themselves Is the maximum salary of Oregon teachers." It wa9 Bald, quite differently, that "the average salary of male teachers In the public- schoolB of Benton county la $46.15, and ot female teachers $39.89," and that "their period of employment Is from four to nine months out of the 12." Mr. Dllllng 1 ham must have obtained the figures he quotes somewhere else than from The Journal. Besides, the figures mentioned were those of one county only, Benton, and while the article did maintain that teachers' wages are too low In Oregon, in view of the Importance of their work. It was not the Intention to assert that teachers' salaries are equally low in all other Oregon counties. ; The salaries paid teachers rary considerably in different counties. Benton Is the lowest on the list, the ' minimum in several other counties being for women about $40, and" for males between $55 and $60. Out of this teachers must pay their board, eay $15 or at least $12 a month. This would not be so bad if their employment continued throughout the year. But in many cases these teacherB, after spending a good deal Of time and money to prepare them selves for their work, find employ ment only half the year or less. Most tf them can probably earn some thing when not teaching, but It is not always easy, or even possible, to Btep from a schoolhouse Into some other position, and then back again, when another term begins. Compe tent, conscientious teachers are needed for the country as well as for the city schools, and while their pay In some counties Is not so bad as In others, It is still too low, as a rule, for such teachers. But to get such teachera ami pay them adequately, something must be j TWO GREAT PATRIOTS CONFER done to replenish the comraon school j fund, that without such action will NEWPORT. 0 RKCON bus many nttrnctlvo seaside resorts. Their nt trnctiveness is proven by the fact that to them peoplo Jour ney annually from eastern Washing ton, Idaho, I'tah and even far-off Montana for a brief season of ozone and relaxation by the seasTiore. It is a consequential Incident in the life of the state that It has theso priv ileges to bestow on those who reside In less-favored states. Among theso resorts, not the least attractive Is Newport, Lincoln county. In natural advantages It combines assets of unusual number and character. A considerable bay for boating with an easy entrance to the ocean for deep sea fishing excur sions, trout fishing and deer hunting within a few miles, the usual beaches and surf bathing, thpse nnd th-; other usual Incidentals of seashore llfo constitute an array of natural advantages that not all resorts pos sess. An extension of the CorvalH? & Eastern lino to Newport, and the Installation of an adequate and quick train service would place Newport on a basis as a seaside re sort that would widen Its fame and heighten its popularity as one of Oregon's agreeable and pleasant out ing sites. All these adjuncts will come In time. What nature provides In the crude, the hand of man Inevitably fashions, In time. Into the finished state. Thirteen billion feet of stand ing timber, said to bo the finest In the, world, is within a score of miles of Newport. It Is a sufficient aggre gate to load a ship with 1,000,000 feet of lumber, every working day In the year for more than 41 years. It has magnificent firs 18 feet in diam eter and 200 feet high. Cruisers say that It Is 25 per cent better than most timber, promising an average of 60 pr ient of clear lumber. Added to this literal gold mine of standing wen''h is a (surrounding re gion with power for producing small fr ..... vegetables and adjuncts for da!r . ing. to which ultimately the hand of Industry will turn in ex ploitation. If in no other way in the exploitation of theso assets, the Newport resort will find its means of development. SECTION of Oregon that li pa tiently waiting for tho devel oping hnnd of industry is the narrow strip lying between tho summit of tho coa.-t range nnd the ocean. It la the natural homo of small fruits and vegetables, and Is unsurpassed In advantages for dairy ing. It'ylelds n small fruit that in point ot excellence Is unapproach able. Its Loganberry is mammoth In size, nnd almost ns sweet ns the Wlllametto valley or Hood River ft rawberry. Its raspberry has a flavor and flbro that is Impossible of productio'n otherwhere than In tho humid surroundings of the seashore. Its vegetables aro ineornparablo In h-1.e and quality. lis possibilities for dairying are evidenced by the fact that it Is the only region where grass is green the summer season through, j Tho power for production that lies west of the low rango of coast mountains, in comparison with its area, Is remarkable. Tho population It could support and the wealth It could yield under tho band of a race of Scandinavians) or their like will some time be of great consequence to Oregon. Th' region offers a ref uge to thousands of struggling poor who crowd our cities, half starved and half clothed. It would give a home, independence and thrKc to a multitude who ure now hoinrle.-s and hopeb-sd. The country If faiiiishin:; for ju-.-t tho tilings the region could produce, and thousands of the idle are clamoring for the very toil and wage that puiduction would involve. Little children, huddled together in garrets nr.d cellars, or tied to ma chines in sweat factories, hollow eyed and clad i:i rags, could, if brought h. r find op"n air, com fort in abundance and a life glorious and free bv the seashore. Th pie and the land together, but time; will et do this, and then Oregon's district beyond the coast mountains will havo its towns, its railroads, its telephones, its schools and its happy, thriving people.

THE tld : '"rnlng, and Kansas, next to -gon, gives the first evidence of it. It means the beginning of the end of the type of senators who now comprise the majority of the dominant party. Gradually they will die or be retired, and a new type of senators will take their places. Long of Kansas is a standpatter nd a "railroad senator." He is Strictly a machine man, and his busi ness in the senate is to oppo.so on every occasion the people's lnter eta. Though not so conspicuously a trust senator as some, he aJways arts with Aldrich, Crane, Elkins, Hop kins, Penrose, ajean. Burrows. Per kins, Flint, Depew, Piatt. Carter and all the senators from New ICnglar.d. The Republicans of Kansas have re jected him, and chosen Joseph 1 Brlstow, who was turned out of fed eral office because he knew too much about rascality and was too honest. Rristow as fourth assistant postmaster-general, unearthed the postoffice frauds, and there were two or three cor. vit!ons, but Brls tow was too active in exposing thbv- that the Mormon church has ordi narily loon solidly Republican, but that is no retiMHi for arraying the I K'inocrati'.' party against it as a re ligious organization.

These threats all come straight from that little uroup .f people who are In virtual control or all the railroad trans portation of the United States.

With him will travel the dominating Influence over IS ..-r cent of tho coun try's railway mibiiKO and 25 per cent of Its railway capitalization, comprising systems which constitute one-third of tho nation's main arteries of transconti nental commerce. Mr. Harriman is now the overshad owing mind in seven great eastern rail way systems, three of them trunk lines, and in flvo Kreat western systems, three of them of fa r-reaehins power Altogether, tho railway mileage, which he either directly controls or else t-xer-ciios nn influential voice over amounts to 4?,. 733, wlih a total capitalization of t4,m 9, 500.000. Mr. Harriman leaves on his vacation In a stronger position in "Wall strict and the railway world tliun he has ever occupied before. And yet two years (iko it was understood that ho would retire when he was do years old; and a year airo he was under such fierce at tack, denounced by Itoosevelf as "an undesirable citizen, and held by many in AV'ull street ns so much a menace to the situation that his forcible removal from his seat of power was deemed es sential to the restoration of financial confidence and stability. Surely Harriman has won a wonderful personal triumph, and he stands moro than ever as 'the colossus of roads" against which tho tides of politics and panic have beon unable to prevail. Yet this marvelous man carries with 1:1m into his vacation a private tele graph wire and a long dfcwtance tile phone which will keep him In constant touch with his office at 120 Broadway.

From the Albanv Herald (Ren.1) For conlurlng up Imaginary Ills and presenthu; a fusillade of objections to Matemem iso. l ana ine primary iuw In tho state the Portland Oregonlan is the champion prestidigitator of thorn all. It is not satisfied with Its reputation as a presto artist but aspires to be known as a prophet. Hear it: "Not much more Is The Oregonlan go ing to talk about Statement No. 1. From the first It has declared State ment No. 1 an instrument to wreck and dissolve tho Republican party of Ore gon. So far It lias foretold exactly wiifj has happened." True The Oregonlan claimed tho peo plo of Oregon were not qualified to elect their senator- rmder the present system. tAnd tho.ro Is a (strong suspic ion in the minds of many that The Ore Kotiiun was smart enough to foresee wherein It could not hold a whip hand over tho politicians nnd compel them to appear at the "tall tower to re ceive orders along party llnis nnd fed eral patronage dispensation.) It is also true that tho editorial policy of Tho Oregonlan has been to bring about Just exactly the conditions winch it would have the Republican party understand nnd believe It was endeavoring pre vent It was eo anxious to rnako Its predictions carry, namely, that Oover i:nr Chamberlain. I'emocrat. would be elected in the Juno election over the Re publican nominee, that it studiously refrained from imlng Its boasted influ ence in the cause of Mr. Cuke, who de feated Mr. Fulton In the primary. Not only did It not turn a hair to elect Mr. I'ako but It never lost an opportunity to belittle the Republican nominee and whlno about tho foolishness of State ment No. 1 and Its destruction of "party loyalty." It may hnve abetted the conspiracy In Multnomah county to give Chamberlain the vote. It doubtless did, as has repeatedly been charged. Now, It comes forward and says, "I told vou so!" "What prill! Stupendous presumption upon tho ignorance of those who have fought for and won the greatest political freedom from party bosses" and party-leaders-for-spolls-only in tho history or the nation! Working for Republiir.n success! Re publican harmony: Hear It: "Under the conditions of the recent election In Oregon, the folly of State ment No. 1 pushed and supported by a class who used it simply to tret nomina tions which they never could obtain un der any representative system. The Oregonlan saw no chance wiiatever of any result, except the triumph of Cham berlain nnd tho Tvmocratio party. It was useles.-i to think of It, or to talk about it. All sense of party loyalty had been destroyed bv n class who had been electine; liemocrats for years, to "get even'' with men of their own party, by whom their own (supposed) merits had been refused acknowledgment." Having made the prediction The Ore gonian did not "sit by and look on." Not much. It had some reputation as a political prognostlcator to protect. Did It protect it? I.ook over Its files during the campaign and you have the answer. That "get even' process which Tho Oregonlan refers to Is responsible for .Mr. cakes defeat not Dv i rinnineriain. or Democrats, but by The Oregonlan stripe of Republicans. That paper is now crying about n Democratic senntor renresentine itepunlican Oregon! It is enough to make one bold his nose. The neoplo of Oregon, or any other state, once having the shackles of a few political 'Tdg heads" shaken off will hardly allow thomsolves to become manacled again. ;o ahead, Oregonlan, with your fight against Statement No. 1 and the direct Primary lnw, but remember if you are ooling anybody It Is yourself. Letters From tKe People Produce tho Proof or Shut Up. rortland, Aug. (. To tha Kdltor of Tha Journal When, If ever, ara wa go Ins; to be rellevad of this tirada and abuse of the Oregonlan over ths direct Crlmary and Statement No. IT Month y month, week bv week, day by day wo hear the aiime old falsehood of Dem ocrats registering as Republicans and voting for Ouko ut the primaries, so as to defeat Fulton, thereby securing tits nomination of tha weaker mun to help Uovernur Chumberlaiti In his flght for tho United States senate. Never was there a more willful falsehood or a nioro malicious llo published against a pmiy. ana Tnis slander has beau und Is being sent broadcast all over the United Stales by the blading Repub lican Journal of the l'acltlc coust. Th writer traveled over a good portion of tho state before tho primaries last spring and It was almost the universal opinion of the leading Democrats of the statu that Fulton, not Cake, was the weaker man. I had a number of arguments with the leadlnir la-moi-mta ov,.- . 11. same subject, as ft was my opinion that Mr. Fulton was by fur tho stronger man, but events proved that they, not I. were correct. Thla list Included Gov ernor Chamberlain, Htuto Chairman Sweek, Secretary Ryan. Senator Miller of Linn and many others, showing that if Democrats could have controlled the nomination they would have voted for Fulton und not for Cuke, as charged by the Oregonlan. After t lie primaries Senator Fulton sprung this fulsehood in his attempt to explain to his brother senators In Wash ington his defeat at the polls by tho naughty Democrats, not having the manhood to ucknowledijo his defeat "by his own party, caused by his own un wltllngneMs to stand (as he hud pYom lsed) by tha votes of tho people. Hence he got JiiHt what ho deserved, and he did not have to run to tho Democrats to get it. There wore enough even ye,t In tho O. O. 1. to muto out Justice to all such as are afraid of the people. Then since the election, which resulted In the defeat of Mr. Cako and the election of Governor . Chamberlain, the same charge has been taken up bv the Ore gonlan. until I think that It Is about time that tills campaign llo was nailed to the cross. Within the last month the writer bus made diligent inquiry of liemocrats from evcrv countv In tha state to find out if there was any ex cuse for the story, nnd up to date I have not found one man who. being a Demo crat, registered as a Republican to vote lor either Cako or Fulton. Further, upon more Inquiry. I could not find one Democrat tliut even knew of such an occurrence. Now, Mr. Editor, I think that It Is nhout time that we call for th names cf such Democrats tho records aro easily obtained and I challenge tho Oregonlan to produce even 600 regular Democrats who registered as Repub licans in the wholu state of Oregon and voted for cither Cake or Fulton. So bring on tho names or shut up, and give us a rest on this falsehood, so that we may once again have soino confidence la what you say. L. W. ROBERTSON. The Rule or Ruin Ring. From the Forest Orore News (Rep.). Judge V. M. Cake, chairman of the Republican state committee, is to be asked to resign and If ho doesn't the "Fulton-Taft" people will ignore him. This is Indeed a rather embarrassing position for Mr. Cake to be in, yet we wonder wno is going to ask rum to re sign. It seems to a mnn up a tree that someone, presumably the ring. Is four flushing a little. Who elected Mr. Cake to that position? Did Mr. Fulton do It nr did tho county committeemen do it? FRct of the matter is, the eounty com mitteemen elected Mr. Cnke, and now. only three months afterward, the Port land ring ore asking that he be re moved, or that thev propone to Ignore him If he doesn't resign. The Oregon lan has held for several years that there Is no Republican party In Ore gon, vet that paper Is one of the Insti gators for the removal of Mr. Cake. Why? Because it is soured on State ment No. l. and because Cake's brother stood for that measure in the last cam pnlgn. True, there Is no Republican party in Oregon, nnd there never will bo so lone as the Portland ring and The Oregonlan continue with tho knlfo. If Taft loses Oreeon. which he certainly will If the soreheads of Portland con tinue to howl. It wlli be as easy to place the blame as It was the defeat of Mr. Cake. e rr j-'t fit-out -f 1 wo e;.ri fi.i.rt'.s r "en got I af'er elerMon; 1' ba' already down by congress, and be was re tired to private life.

Morgan, Or., Aug. 8. To the Editor of The Journal In tho Issue of tho Semi-Weekly of July 24, I read an edi torial on "Better Fay for Oregon School Teachers," wherein you state that Ore- ron school teachers are poorly paid, that i'K por month Is the princely compensa tion of many, and MO nnd board them selves Is the maximum salary of Oregon teachors. Now, Mr. Kdltor, you have not taken time to look this matter up, or you havo been misinformed. I don't doubt that Mr. Hryan was correct In making such statement in regard to tho salary of teachers In the east and mid dle west, but ho Is a little off when it comes to Oregon. There Is not a dis trict In Morrow countv that pavs less tnan $50 per month, and the larger dis tricts with two or moro teachers pay from $65 up. This kind of "Oregon Ad vertising" does not sound well. What we need is more eustern teachers. The great trouble in Oregon Is, parents are not kind to their children. Many of them far rathor keep them at home In Idleness than let them start out for themselves. Then there Is a class of young people that, after their parents have worked hard and economized to give them a good education and fit them for employment of this kind, refuse to leavo such fascinating places as l'ort land to teach school in tho country. ' They would far rather clerk In a de partment store for $11 per week and board with the old folks than to strike out Into the country and earn $10 and board for five days' work teaching school. F.astern tin-eon wants teach ers. I understand that there were dis tricts last year that lost their apportion- " nient because they could not secure teachers. Several young ladies In this county were given permits to teach that had never tried an examination simply to supply the many .districts with tench- ers, tsomo of these young ladb-s itemed with the housework where they were boarding and thereby cleared if 5 0 per month. The Morgan district has had an implication for a. teacher nt 50 per month for eight months' school with the Fisk teachers' agency of Portland for over a month. And they have so far been tmablo to fill It. So if within the circle of your acjuaintance thero happens to be any of those underpaid school teachers. Just send them up east of tho mountains, whero there are plenty of good schools to be hart, and the com pensiOoti sufficient for them to live comfortably. -Now. Mr Kdltor, don't be a "kicker" and publish such things, especially edi torluls. for the world to read, and run down our glorious state, but bo an "Ore gon booster.'' At least tell the truth, and let the eastern people know that Oregon wants good, live, energetic peo ple for school teachers, and other classes of work, with tho compensation liberal enough for them to live and enjoy them selves in one of the finest climates on the face of the earth. F. C. DILLINGHAM. Cake and Fulton. From the Albany Herald (Rep.). The Republican party of Oregon re pudiated Charles W. Fulton last April. Ills federal pap-suckers, known as the Fulton organliatlon, being organized throughout the state along- the old political grafting lines of a late de ceased senator, captured and packed the state convention with the time-worn conventloa methods and aet tip the sen ator from Clatsop as tho Idol of Re publican Oregon. Mr. Taft and his man agers permitted themselves to think Fulton really represented the people of this state. Tho fact of the matter Is that Sena tor Fulton Is a political dead goslln. lie was defeated fairly and squarely by an abler man last April, who Is a friend of the people These people are determined to throw off the yoke of this "old machine" bunch. With the "dago" poller of knifing . Cako In the June election hv the Fulton adherents, Oovrmor Chamberlain wis given the senatorship hv a small mar gin. Now these same Fulton men are making a big huliaboo because Mr Cake, hs accepted their treachery gracefuilr ind is advocating the organization of the lealslature so as to Insure the rstl flcatton of the vote last Jin. It's a merrv game, and Mr. Cako IS In it by a very big majority Samuel Benedict Chrlty'a Rlrthdajr. Pamiiel Penedlet Christy. profes-r rf -Newark News.
