T1IE AMERICAN SCHOOLS.
Of our public schools Americans
have lust reason for being proud. The
i u'
American uuunc ov"i ojam m
. . , ... ,. , .,. t-,-
greatest institution in the world. The
... , , , ,. .
finest thing about our school system
ts ita Jemncraro If pnunlltv Of OB-
portunity prevails anywhere it pre
vails In the American public schools.
In our schools wealth and station do
not count. "Our schools look alike up
on the children of the rich and the
poor, the .high and the low. The
privilege of education is for all and
those who win must win by merit.
Now. this is a condition that does
not prevail throughout the entire
world. In England the school system
is arranged with a view, not to pro
moting democracy but with a view
to perpetuating class distinctions. It
is the theory of English educators
that children of the lower classes
should be trained for the same sta
tions occupied by their parents. In
other words they would close the
door of advancement on those of poor
or lowly birth. The public schools
In England are considered as charity
schools. The best schools are all up
on a tuition basis and hence open only
to those more fortunately situated.
Such a policy as this may aid Jn per
petuating monarchical government In
England for a time. But it is & pol
icy that means certain degeneracy
and if that policy Is continued long
enough . the day will come when the
sun will set upon Great Britain.
Since democracy Is a fundamental
feature ofthe American school system
lr Is necessary that our educational
work be conducted by the state. True
there Is a certain fleldfor private in
stitutions and always will he. But
this field Is necessarily limited. As
time goes on the tendency Is bound
to be more and more in favor of pub
lic schools as opposed to private or
secular institutions. There Is also a
well defined opposition to universities
and colleges that have been endowed
by multimillionaires. This opposition
is due largely to the fact that in sev
er1 eonplctious Instances the char
acter of Instruction has been Influ
enced by the endowments. Chicago
T'nlverslty, endowed by Rockefeller,
I suspected of upholding Standard
oil theories as to economics. Chancel
lor Day, head of Syracuse university,
another Rockefeller school, has made
himself noted by the manner in which
he has licked the hand of his school's
donor and has assailed men like
Roosevelt who have tried to curb pre
datory wealth. People naturally re
sent anything like a tampering with
the sources of knowledge and the
feeling that the tampering process Is
on will surely work against the great
rdowed schools and In, favor of In
stitutions, such as state universities
and colleees. that are maintained
strictly by the public and purely for
the public benefit. Students of Inde
pendent mtnds will naturally prefer
attendance at state Institutions to at
tendance at the big endowed schools,
The latter are virtually charitable In-
tltuttons. The state universities and
the state is reimbursed (or Its ex
pense through obtaining; a higher
standard of citizenship. .
TTHX THEM ALL DOWN.
In discussing the varied aggrega
tion of county division bills now up
for consideration the Eugene Register
has the following:
Now it Is to be a Clark county
sliced off from Grant county. With all
these new county schemes on foot,
the wisest thing the people of the
state can do is to vote 'No" on all of
them as a reminder to new county
boomers that they must pass the whole
proposition up to the legislature for
enactment of a law leaving division
and formation of new cpuntles to the
people directly Interested, both as to
territory set off and the old county
or counties from which to be taken.
It Is a household affair in which
the general public should not mix and
in which they really do not care to
inject themselves by their vote. Many
a man has gotten a well deserved
licking for mixing In a family row.
Only one county in Oregon has ever
been created by the people and that
was Hood River, but- that was after
Wasco county gave its consent to sep
arate and the people did no great
harm in this instance. Besides It was
a new idea not yet tried out to learn
its bad points,
The propositions now up are dif
ferent, especially the ones affecting
Lane and Douglas counties and the
people of these two counties will feel
that the people of Oregon have taken
snap judgment and forced upon them
a condition not warranted by the
situation unless the people of these
two counties see fit to submit, by
j their own votes, to the proposed dlvls-

I ions.
Let the people of Oregon put this
'"whole county division proposition up
! ... ,
the legislature to arrange a divls-
I 1 .1 1...... ba1aw.a. r ailnlt
j'questlons to the voters In the terrl-
: torj- affected. Such a just and equl-
table law was passed at the last ses
sion, but retiring Governor Chamber
lain for reasons best known to him
self, vetoed It. We must have a fair
(county division law to be used conser
vatively by the people in granting
such county formations as conditions
justify
Under the present system, if
.
the whole people are to pass on the
"
I new county schemes they are as fully
Mnotlflo In .rooting nil the new coun
" "--v. -
1 ties asked for as they are In granting
any one of them and common sense
would suggest that, out of the dozen
or more new counties asked for, some
of them are not justified by con
ditions. How' will a widely separated
voting population be able to discrimi
nate In this matter? They cannot do
it; therefore, for the people to form
any county In the state is doing the
people of that territory so affected,
a rank Injustice and, as a matter of
fairness, the people should put their
xtamp of disapproval on a blanket
law that gives them the power to ride,
roughshod, over any community In
the state.
Vote "No" on all county division
schemes and let the legislature
straighten this matter out for the
common good of all the people.

THE ELEPHANT.
No other animal, not the Hon him
self, is so constant a theme of talk,
and a subject of such unflagging In
terest round the camp-fires of Afri
can hunters and in the native villages
of the African wilderness, as the ele
phant. Indeed the elephant has al
ways profoundly impressed the imag
ination of mankind. It is, not only to
hunters, but to naturalists, and to ull
people who possess . any . curiosity
about wild creatures and the wild
life of nature, the most interesting of
all animals. Its huge bulk. Its sin
gular form, the value of its ivory, its
great intelligence in which it is only
matched, if at all, by the highest apes.
and possibly by one or two of the
highest carnivoresi and its

habits, all combine to give it an In

We have the word of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie for it that Charles M.
Schwab knows more about steel than
any man alive, therefore when Unit
ed States Commissioner of Labor Neil'
hauls the indefatigable Charles M.
over the coals for the shocking condi
tions the commissioner says exist in
the Bethlehem Steel Works, said
Charles M. say he's sorry, and gives
no other excuse than that he's been
too busy to notice it before. In his
own way, Schwab is' a wotWer.
He was born in Williamsburg, Pa.,
in 1862. He inherited mathematical
genius and a positively felrd ability
with machines from his livery stable
owning father. His gentle mother
gave him a genuine love for music.
He contributed a dynamic energy for
himself 'All hi? needed was a

mills who bought cigars of Charley
Schwab, the grocer's clerk, and
Schwab went to the mills. He did the
rest himself. Carnegie helped him, as
Carnegie l.ked to help the budding
geniuses In his employ. At eighteen
he quit a job worth $2.50 a week and
cakes to take one paying H more.
Twelve years later his salary ,waa
$50,000 a year, and when the United
States Steel was organized his working
interest in the business was adjudged
worth $28,000,000. And he was made
president of the billion dollar corpor
ation because he was the only man
then fit for it, and it was said at the
time that he was paid half a million
dollars a year.
The job proved too strenuous even
for him. He tried to work to twelve
