Careless of what the long, long

THE FTRE DRILL.
Every public school in the country
should practice regularly the fire
drill. While it is too late to get
Beared after a horror comes, a;;J may
seem fickle to take up a serious mat
ter of this kind simply because an ac
cldent has happened, yet the Cleve
land horror In which 175 school child
ren were burned to death, should
stimulate every school district in the
country to take precaution.
It requires but a few moments, to
practice the fire drill and It should
te done daily. The state should en
force the rule rigidly for while educat
ing children the state Is under obliga
tion to give them .adequate protec
tion. Not a week should pass in the pub
lic schools without a fire drill. The
teachers and children should be thor
oughly familiar with it and superin
tendents and boards should see that
this Is not overlooked.
The life of one little scholar is worth
ten thousand times more than all the
time that may be thus consumed in
a century.
IT'S TIME TO FIGHT ANARCHY.
The two recent anarchistic outrages,
the murder of the Denver priest and
the attempt on the life of Chicago's
clef of police, and the recurrence of
bomb explosions In eastern cltiej,
have finally roused the people of this
country to the extreme danger and
menace that the spread of anarchy
has brought, says the Spokane Chron
icle. All have heard of anarchy, and rea
lized that anarchists are "undesirable
citizens," but nearly all have been
Indifferent, not realizing that their
laws, lives and Institutions are already
seriously menaced.
Now, however, the people are be
ing awakened, and efficient action
ehould follow. The police, the cnun
try over, will now war on alJ anar
chists. Added to that the Catholic
church will exert Its tremendous in
fluence against the spread of the doc
trine of anarchy. The danger in
which religion stands was exemplified
by the Denver murder, and the un
reasoning hate of anarchists for the
officers of the law was clearly shown
Monday In Chicago.
Sneaking murderers who wprk In
the d nk. who hoot, kill and wreck
without warning, without even the
excuse of personal enmity for their
victims, have no place in thjs coun
try, or anywhere In the world.

A SCHOOL BLUNDER.
The Oregonlan of March 4 In dis
cussing" the relative merits and de
merits of the University of Oregon
and the Oregon 'Agricultural college,
brings out some pertinent facts which
are worthy of consideration and
thought
While there cannot be too much
education nor too many good educa
tlonal Institutions, yet the questions
suggested by the Oregonian are time
ly and highly essential to a thorough
understanding of Oregon's higher ed
ucational standards. The editorial Is
as follows:
It cannot be denied that C. S. Hu
ll of1 Newberg, lays his finger 'on a
real weakness in our educational sys
tem when he speaks of the duplica
tion of courses at Eugene and Cor
vallls. It is, beyond all question, an educa
tional calamity that the university
and the agricultural college are not
united In one Institution Instead of
being established in different cities
and existing more or less In the capac
ity of rivals both covering to a cer
tain extent the same ground.
It is also regrettable that this
weakness -Is beyond remedy. The
problem of uniting the two Institutions
Is now hopelessly insoluble, and the
some can be said of the duplication of
courses. Eugene ougnc not to orop
the technical and general scientific
courses, for without them her literary
work would become sterile. We live
in a scientific age and the college
which fails to teach the sciences
dooms Itself to intellectual impotence.
On the other hand. Corvall'is must
continue to offer instruction In tne
more essential literary branches, dince
It would be wrong to deprive the stu
dents of a well-rounded education.
They wish to pursue technical courses,
but they do not wish to become nar
row In mind and spirit. The fact Is
that the colleges at Eugene and Cor-
vallia are compelled by the very n.ture
of a college to duplicate each other's
work. This is one of the penalties
which the people of Oregon must pay
for permitting their educational Inter
ests to be managed b politicians in
the past instead of by experts who
had the general welfare at heart; and
it would be a sorry remedy for the
nconvenience to blight the future of
the university by cutting off Its resour
ces. While we nave a university
us support it with becoming liberality.
If we desire to Join the group of
semi-barbarous states which do not
maintain universities, that Is another
matter.
The genuine remedy for the dupli
cation of courses at Eugene and Cor
vallis Is, of course, to repair the orig
inal blunder which separated the ln-(
fctitutlons. This looks harsh and radi
cal, but In the long run It would save
expense to the state while It would
enable the people to concentrate their
support upon one strong and progres
sive college Instead of two struggling
ones mutually Jealous of each other's
prosperity. We do not believe the
farmers as' a class will vote against
the appropriation for the State Uni
versity. They will sustain the, Insti
tution, though with a, pretty general
feeling that something Is wrong with
the system that compels them to pay
taxes for two collpgs where one
would do better work.
ber, II vessels, with half a dozen
others fully due. The January fleet
carried Oregon staples of a value of
approximately $3,000,000. The value
of the February cargoes was about
$2,400,000, and March figures will be
about the same as those for February.
Exclusive of the coastwise business,
Portland exporters have cleared an
average of $100,000 worth of the three
staples mentioned, every business day
since November 1. These figures ac
count in no small degree for the elim
ination of the financial stringency, so
far as Portland and Oregon are con
cerned.
After Bishop Paddock comes to
Pendleton and looks over this rich
and prosperous district, views the
promise of this country, recognizes
the accessibility of Pendleton from all
parts of his Immense .diocese, and
meets the splendid citizenship of this
city and county, there will be no
doubt about the location of his home.
This city Is the geographical center
of his diocese. It Is most accessible
from all parts of eastern Oregon, has
unequalled train and mall service
and the eastern Oregon diocese is di
rectly tributary to this city.
Portland dispatched 22 cargoes of
wheat, flour and lumber to China, Ja
pan, Europe, Australia and South
America during the short month of
February, says the Oregonlan. There
are now In port under charter to load

The Justice of the rain that loves all

From prairie cabin up to Capital,
One fair ideal led our chieftain on.
For evermore he burned to do his
deed
With the fine stroke and gesture of a

He built TTe rail pile as he built the

Pouring his splendid strength

To make his deed the measure of a

So came the captain with the mighty

And when the step of earthquake

Wrenching the rafters from their an

He held the ridge pole up and spiked

The rafters of the home. He held his

Held the long, purpose like a growing

Held on through blame and faltered

And when he fell in whirlwind, he

As when a kingly cedar, green with

WASHINGTON'S PISCOVERY.
"There Is a great temptation, when
a man get on bis feet to speak to a
crowd, to state a thing a little strong
er than it is," said Booker T. Wash
ington recently. "It seems to me It's
harder to tell the truth to a number
of people than to one man."
Mr. Washington Is right when one
has a large and attentively sympathet
ic audience, he Is liable to stretch the
truth Just'a little for the effect of
feeling that he Is able to sway peo
ple. Maybe that is the reason that so
many of the promises heard Just be
fore election are often unkept. Spo

ROVER'S SONG.
I shall leave them all behind me, all
the tinsel and the glare.
And the songs that lured and led me
to the paths J dreamed so fair:
I shall bid goodby to pathways that
were tempting to my feet,
And give welcome to the meadows and
the clover blossoms sweet.
I shall hear the woodthrush calling,
and at morn the Joyful note
Of the lark shall drink for mirth that
comes from every feathered
throat.
I shall go the road I wandered when
I dreamed In twilight gloam,
And I wonder If they'll know me
when they see me coming
home?
I am going, staff and bundle, to the
winding, backward track
I shall wend again the road beyond
the town that leads me back
To the fields of blossomed sweetness
where the flags of purple hue,
And the willows, graceful, bending, in
the quiet bayou grew.
There shall be no songs to call me,
songs that once were lilting
sweet,
When I -saw my last goodby and
homeward turn my weary feet.
No sea, no sky shall lure me, there
shall be no thirst to roam
And I wonder If they'll know me when
they see me coming home?
