If the state is supporting a school to teach its teachers deceit, a school whose diplomas are given, not as an honest acknowledgement of work honest ly done, but as a reward for political services, or withheld to satisfy a selfish spite, it is high time something should be done about it. This institution, which is an important source of educational and political leadership, should be kept like Caesar's wife, above reproach. A course in tyranny may make one either a Bolshevik or a boot licker. It is a mighty poor preparation for one who is to teach the broad principles of a sane and tolerant democracy." 3TJ3IXESS OFFICES i anne tow iwi"r' - . .;,..: . r . , n.-il-j ml i l sUri B:df : isn rrnic4. onim " as noc me eauor oi me roruana leiegram oeen imposeu upon ?

The state of Oregon buys for the various in sUtation maintained at the expense of the taxpayers about 200,000 pounds of sugar annually.

The beets for making 250,000 pounds of sugar could nn than 100 acres of the kind of land belong mg to the state, in the farms of the state hospital or the in stitution for the feeble minded or the industrial school for the boys here. Irrigation could be provided, to make certain th needed moisture in dry months during tne growing son. Fifteen tons to the acre of beets with 15 per cent sugar rw.pnt. could be relied upon, as an average. Perhaps a larg er tonnage. This would provide around 4000 pounds of sugai in tYia nrr Small sugar factories are being mariuactured that could be mtPd bv the state largely by the state charges of anj one of several oMhe state institutions. The surplus could be sold on the market. Louisana grows cane and manufactures rV,o markPt at its Denitentiary : and self support from this source is in sight for the institution. It would be properfor the legislature at its next session tc provide for a state sugar plant. It would be in line with the state flax plant. The latter will within three years make pro fits sufficient to render the state prison self supporting And it will have led to. the development of one of the largest industries of the state for all time. Perhaps the larg est of all the industries of Oregon. A state sugar factory would lead to the development of one of the greatest industries in Oregon, and one of the most beneficial with the its indirect help to many other in--dustries, chief among them dairying. With a per capita consumption in the United States of 111 pounds annually of sugar, the consumption by our state in stitutions may seem small. Around 40 pounds. But the canned goods consumed, and many other articles used in the dietary, contain sugar. Counting all these, the per capita consumption is perhaps up towards the point of the general average. About 12 pounds of the sugar consumption of the United States is in candy. Not quite that, because a good deal of glu cose (corn sugar) goes into the cheaper kinds of candy. But glucose can be and is now granulated. It is sugar, with 74.2 Fwcetening power, as compared with 100 for beet or cane sugar. The commerce department of the United States has just issued a bulletin on candy consumption. A year has been con sumed in gathering the statistics. Our consumption of candj is growing. In 1926, the bulletin states, candy consumption in the United States amounted to 1,393,000,000 pounds, valued at $342,000,000. This was equal to 12 pounds per head of pop ulation, and was an increase of 60,000,000 pounds, or 4.52 per cent, over the 1925 consumption. Only nine states purchased less candy in 1926 than in the previous year, and the de creases in these states were negligible. Nevada was the larg est consumer per capita, followed in order by Montana, Illin ois, Delegare, North Dakota, Vermont and California, all with consumptions of more than 13 pounds per capita an nually. Consumptions of 10 pounds per capita and over were reported by Minnesota, Oregon, Missouri, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maryland, Indiana and Massa. chusetts. A TERRIBLE WRONG cheapest Irving conditions of any institution in Oregon And comparing favorably in all respects with the best in the whole country. In 1918, in the influenza epidemic, she nursed through their sickness 30 to 40 of the girls of the institution, when no other nurse could be had. It is said that Miss Todd merely demands decency and mor ality among the students at Monmouth. The people of Ore gon certainly would wish for no less. If, as represented to The Statesman, these attacks are in spired by motives of revenge on the part of persons who have run counter to the demands of decency, the managers of the Portland Telegram ought to make amends for the terrible wrong that has been done to a woman of high stand ing And every decent citizen of Oregon ought to rise up and de fend her, and make it impossible for her private detractors to have their virulent attacks avail anything but the pro found contempt of every,one above the grade of a moron or breaker of the laws of God and man. Captain G. M. Walker's new boat, that will draw but two feet of water with a load of 150 tons, will almost, in the ver nacular of the river men, navigate on a "heavy dew." It ihould be able to make the trip between Satem and Portland ill the year through. Captain Walker is looking for a name for the new vessel, which is to be ready to go on the Willam ette run between the capital and the metropolis by the middle jf July. Have you a name?4f you have a suggestion. The Statesman will be glad to get it to Captain Walker. The Jmted States engineers ought to make it unnecessary for the new vessel to run on a heavy dew. And the people of the vftoie valley ought to insist upon such an improvement of the channel to Salem, and on op to Eugene, as will provide still water the year through, and so connect this great valley by water transportation, with the deep sea porta of the whole world. Looks like Hoover. And that will mean a sweeDinr Rennh. 'ican victory in November. o Bits For Breakfast I Under the heading, "Democracy and Education," the Port land Telegram of yesterday printed as its leading editorial the following: "From its inception, the American public school has been held to be the 'cradle of democracy.' Its great est purpose has been to safeguard the great principles upon which our national life is founded, by furnishing an intelli gent, self-respecting, liberty-loving, citizenship. How can Oregon expect its schools to render this essential service, if they are directed by teachers trained in an atmosphere of pet ty tryanny, used to the adroit practices of a despot's court ' and accustomed to see expediency put before right and jus tice? Apparently this is what is being done at Monmouth. We are told that often honors and rewards go, not to merit or ability, but to the student or faculty member who 'stands in' and consents to act as a submissive pawn on this minia ture political chessboard. It is impossible that young people, who-pass two of their most pliant, formative years in a hot bed of political intrigue, should not become somewhat dis torted in mind and judgment, and carry out into their class rooms not only a false conception of school government, but an incorrect attitude toward government in general. A mem ber of the Monmouth faculty, asked as to the effect of the Mussolini-like dictatorship assumed by the dean of women, replied by another question, 'What is always the effect of placing human beings in an abnormal environment V He told of a number of school girl indiscretions which were explain able as a natural reaction against unreasonable restraint.

June 12 (AP) Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick announced after a conference with Frank O. .Lowden today that the Illinois man has definitely decided to permit presentation of his name to the national convention in spite of the certainty that Herbert Hoover will be nominated.

Lowden will receive a block of votes from the Illinois delegation Mrs. McCormick said. KANSAS CITY. June 12. (AP) The farm protest against the nomination of Herbert Hoover burpt in noisy fashion in the con vention city tonight when up wards of 300 men paraded the streets and swarmed into political headuarters shouting "Thirty mil lion farmers won't vote for Hoo ver." The crowd, most of whom ap peared as if they had come off the farms of the middlewest. staged demonstrations in the principal hotel lobbies and went so far as to shout their message within the Hoover headquarters on the mez zanine floor of the Baltimore hotel. At one stage of their pilgrim age to the convention center, the farmers stopped in the Curtis headquarters and, shouting "Any body but Hoover" demanded a speech from the Kansas senator. One of his lieutenants, Al F Williams. United States attorney for Kansas, told the crowd that Curtis "is now in conference de vising means of stopping Hoover," and made a rousing political sneech on behalf of the Kansas senator. He was frequently interrupted by shouts of "we don't choose to vote for Hoover," "thirty million farmers won't vote for Hoover," and "anybody but Hoover." When the protesters reached Hoover headquarters there was some heckling from the rear, but the superior volume of the farm ers drowned out this opposition. In his speech on behalf of Cur tis' candidacy, Williams admon ished the group that the balloting had not yet begun and aesured them that "this convention is not going to be led by false doctrines." "Curtis is the highest type of citizen this country has," Williams said, "and I am telling you right now that despite the fact that Hoo ver seems to have a majority now, we will win this fight yet. If you men will continue to demonstrate in the fine fashion you have to night until balloting actually gets under way, we will defeat Hoover after all and put in a real Ameri can as our nominee. As Williams finished, the crowd clapped their hands and shoute '"nobody wants Hoover," and a the suggestion of a sunburned farmer from the. rim of the group, that "only England wants Hoov er." After the demonstration in the various hotels, the crowd shouter "on the credentials committee." Still shouting their protest, th farmers marched to Araret temple where a Hoove'r mass meeting wa in session. As they entered t h hall, shouting "30,000.000 farm ers won't vote for Hoover," th Hoover leaders sought to disrup' the demonstration by having the band strike up the Star Spanglec" Banner. For a few minutes th throng of farmers seemed discon certed but presently they took of their hats and Joined in the sing :ng.
