EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The salt trust which started
with an alleged capital of $12,
000,000 is found to have only
$37,000 when reduced to a solid,
substantial basis.
For the first time in the history
of world's fairs an effort will be
made to send a live stock exhibit
to St. Louis in 1904 from this
"state. Fifty thousand dollars of
the $500,000 appropriated for the
Lewis and Clark fair by the Ore
gon legislature will be used in
making an exhibit of this s-tate's
resources at St Louis next year
and it is hoped that the Fair will
have a representative live stock
show.
Representative Piatt, of Con
necticut has introduced a resolu
tion into the House urging the
adoption of the joint resolution
of Senator Scott, of West Vir
ginia, for the appointment of a
commission to, investigate the
present pension laws and especi
ally to report on the proposition
to grant a service pension 01 $12
per month to all honorably dis
charged Union soldiers who
served not less than ninety days
in the war of the rebellion, said
pension to date from the time
when the veteran entitled thereto
reaches the age of $62 years.
thus doing away with the present
expensive, ' unequal, and slow
process of adiusting pension
claims. This strikes us as the
most sensible and fairest propo
sition that has ever been sub
mitted on the subject of pensions,
By all means let our own repre
sentatives and congressmen do al
in their power to pass this law.
1 ne agricultural colleges o
the United States are , doing a
great work for the country,
They have funds and equipment
estimated at $70,000,000, and an
annjialinepineo t$ 1 o, 000. 000.
, There are 3,000 men in the fac
ulties and a student body o:
nearly 50,000, Of these stu
dents nearly 7,000 are studying
agriculture alone. The expen
ment stations employ 7,060 ex
perts and issue some 400 publica
tions annually. Congress appro
piiated $100,000 to enable these
colleges to make a suitable ex
hibit of their work at the St,
Louis World's Fair, and the
character of this exhibit will be
one of the topics discussed at the
November convention of all the
agricultural colleges of the coun
try, together with the experi
mental stations, which will be
held in Washington City on
November 17th, and the occasion
will be one of especial interest to
the agricultural department.
Prof. A. C. True, director of ex
perimental stations, has charge
01 the local arrangements and
the attendance - will be large.
Sixty-five colleges and sixty ex
periment stations now hold mem
bership in the association.
About sixteen million pupils
are enrolled in the public schools
of the United States, being over
twenty per cent, of the entire
population of the country. The
average daily attendance is over
ten millions more than one in
eight. In addition to these fig
ures there are nearly one million
pupils enrolled in private and
parocmai scnoois. 1 his per
centage of 20 per cent, is higher
than any other county in the
world, and would be higher yet,
if more vigilance was exercised
in the matter of immigration
The bulk of the non-attendants
being from the families of the re
cent arrivals, particularly those
from eastern Canada and southern
Europe. This emphasises one
fact, that the ignorance and illit
eracy in 'this country is almost
all imported, and demonstrates
the necessity of larger facilities
in our school rooms, and a closer
enforcement of our compulsory
school laws to stop the pollution
of our population by foreign 1m
migration and this to the great
detriment of our children. Bear
in mind this truth, that the cause
of a nation's advancement is what
it knows. "The age of the
cathedral is the age of night; the
school house is the coming of the
dawn,'? Education is the driv-.
ing wheel of civilization, and e
hope cf the world is in the pth
lie schools.

Ben Hur.
Portland is to have a week of
spectacular performance in the
play of Ben Hur. Thev are just
finishing a four weeks run at the
Grand Opera House in JSan Fran
cisco. The Argonaut, opens its
criticism of the play with the
"ollowing:
4 'Whenever a big theatrical
production is freely advertised
without special mention in ad
vance of the names of the com
pany, we , are safe in assuming
them to be nobodies. So it turns
out with the 'Ben Hur' players."
Two features are relied" upon
to carry the play first, a chariot
race, which lasts exactly one and
one-half minutes, (ninety sec
onds) and the fact that it is a re
ligious play. It will certainly
require a big showing of stage
tableux to carry an audience
through the tedious, long-drawa
lines that fill in the two hours
wait till the chariot race at the
end of the fifth act. We have
no doubt but the performance
will be well patronized as it ap
peals principally to non-theatre
goers, whose curiosity is excited
by the chariot race. That the
company depeud for their patron
age on this class of custom is
seen in the fact that the country
papers have been worked to the
limit in a large amount of cheap
advertising, paid in the "Courte
sies of the profession.'.' A com
pany that depends upon "bum
ming" m its business department
cannot be expected to be over
scrupulous in rendering equiva
lent to its customers for the pa
tronage brought by such ques
tionable methods.

According to the custom of years
past, Thanksgiving Day was ob
served by a union service by the
various churches of thia city. The
service was held in the United
Evangelical church. Rev. Green
of the Congregational church, de
livered the sermon, which was a
genuine Thanksgiving discourse
To appreciate our blessing, , we
should compare our condition and
advantages with those of other
states and other lands. Oregoniane,
above all others, should be filled
with gratitude. Rousing music
was furnished by a chorus com
posed of singers from the various
choirs of the city. Mrs. Carrick
sang a solo, which was much ap
preciated. A collection was taken,
amounting to $8.25, which will be
