Hooillumlsm is born of Idle
ness; it Is useful energy gone
to seed. The hoodlum is the
boy who has the spirit to do
something, with nothing worthy
furnlshed him to do by the pa
rents. He must do something,
so without that good direction he
so highly deserves, he does tho
wrong thing. The hoodlum evo
lutes Into the criminal, if not
speedily put upon the right. track.

REMEMBER OREGON.
The eyes of the nation are watching
the Oregon legislature, which asseni
hledJ;oday. One of the greatest events
ir. the history of the United States is
to bo commemorated by the North
west In 1905
Oregon holds the Hey to the success
op that celebration. She Is the cus
todian or its life She Is responsible
for its triumph. She can make or mar
It She can write its history In glory
or dim It In defeat.
The spirits of Lewis and Clark
the proud heroes of tho greatest tri
umphal march of the 19th century,
await Oregon's answer.
The world, that Is listening to the
chorus of civilization that has burst
from the thronging industries that
hum along the great river courses
r.nd mountain passes, immortalized by
that memorable Journey, is waiting to
catch the word that shall fall from
Oregon's Hps.
The state stands today at the divid-
lag pathways of fate. To right nnd
left the two highways lead.
One to glory, through united, pat
riotic action, through a policy thnt
places all factional and selfish inter
ests beneath the heel of triumphal
fialernlty. the broad, sunshiny path
of good will and loyalty to Oregon.
The other, through factional clam
oring and jealousy, lends to disrup
tion and disgrace.
Choose between them.
Say to the angry papsimis Mm' av--i.ow
smoking, that the interest of Or
egon shall first he served. Say to par
tisan feeling that there is a hlchei
consideration to be first disposed of
Sav to the political lnsh that Hero
Is a higher master lo obey In the
great issus that lies before the spiv
nnts of the people.
Say to the old .wounds that may
lankle In the political henrt of Orp
gon, that for one consecrated hour,
the chosen servants of this great state
will rise triumphant o'er their evil
promptings and serve the people with
unstinted loyalty.
Oregon's appropriation for the
I.fwls and Clark fair will he an Index
to Its magnitude. Oregon's zeal will
set the pace for tho Northwest Ore
son's figures will decide Its fate.
Before the second day of the sesslor
closes, the appropriation bill for a half
11 llliou dollars should be a law Ttn
fore the sun goes down on the second
day of the session, the electric mes
stngera should fling the glad news
across the tea to the Islea of the Ori
ent, that Oieton has done her duty
that she has spread the feast at which
the nations may gather, to pay hom
age to. the memory of those choice
rplrlta of the ago, along whose foo-
mul schools, and says "of course they
must be supported, although the truest
teachers receive their training from
grandmothers nnd grandfathers, and
at mother's knees."
Continuing in tho same tone of cen
sure, the Telegram compares the grad
uates from normal colleges with that
recent acquisition to the Journalistic
fraternity, the graduate from the cor
respondence schools of Journalism.
The comparison is unfair, unjust
and not warranted by the true condi
tions attending the -profession.
In the first place many of the stu
dents of these "schools" of Journal
ism never saw the Inside of. a print
shop. They are not familiar with the
n.dlmcnts of the profession, when
they receive their diploma that puts
the wing feathers of a full-fledged
"journalist" upon them.
Ou the other hand, graduates from
normal colleges must necessarily pass
through the public schools, receive
the hard-earned education and cxperi
ence that attends tills preliminary
step and In addition, pass a credlta
We examination before graduating
from tho normal, which at least, re
moves the possibility of a comparison
between these two classes of profes
sionals.
iThe legislature cannot nfford to
take this view of normal schools, held
by the Telegram. It cannot afford to
pass this necessary and efficient
branch of Oregon educational effort,
with a slighting or disparaging recog
nition.
True, the lovable attributes of cliar,-
p.ctor and temperament are breathed
with early association nnd environ
ment, hut that does not finish the
teacher fo.- the keen comnctltlon of
today.
Tho training received In normal
schools fits the teacher to do the work
Jenulred by the progress of this day.!
It Is an advancing science; step by
step the now features, now phases,
creep upon It. To keep pace with
these, to know these when met with
In the profession, and to know how
to apply thorn, the teacher must have
the help of the normal, and the nor
mal must have the help of the state.
of the United States h rode down to
the AVulte House unattended, dis
mounted and tied hlB own horse to
tho hitch rack, hung his Bpurs upon
the saddle-tree and walked up alone to
take tho oath of offlce.
Tho recurring appearance of the
county scat spectre, reminds Oregon
thnt this ghost will not "down" until
the whole vexing Issue Is taken out
of the legislature.
THE DREAMER.
Just now the Amerlcan'B fud is the
"strenuous life." Men go racing in
iiuest of money, honor, power, fame.
Hut tho drenmer. the thinker, whose
Ideas have been In advance of his
tunes; the seer who directed others
tc power nnd fame. Is pased by as a
degenerate, a failure.
Men In the truest sense, men who
used their part of the great life that
others might see and kiftiw and be
free; -men of whom Patrick Henry, I
1 nomas Jefferson, Webster, Fremont,,
limine, are types, are spoken of as,
overrated, unlucky, and failures.
They are said to be impracticable,,

thing better than money or office. I
