PAY OF SCHOOL TEAC1IEKS.
IN HIS communication published
In another column, Mr. F. C. 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

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.

anti-betting law In New York state
to mean that personal bets are not
prohibited. In his decision he said:
The difference between ordinary bet

words. An ordinary hot is not a crime,
whether made in your parlor, on the
golf links or racetrack, nor Is the mak

BETTEK SENATORS COMING.
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. Polygamy has

It would have been very interest- i

course the public baa no right to in- a right to their relietou3 opinions;
quire into it. One ran easily Im
agine, however, that the ex-chairman

Influence over IS ..-r cent of tho coun

Mr. Harriman is now the overshad

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

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

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.

Thinks Teachers Pretty Well TaJd.
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

making a big huliaboo because Mr Cake,
hs accepted their treachery gracefuilr

the lealslature so as to Insure the rstl
