EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Chicago has the honor of being
selected as the place for holding
the next Republican Convention
for the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt as next President of the
United States. The convention
will meet at 12 o'clock, noon, on
June 21st. When the nomina
tion and election is such a sure
thinff. it really seems almost un
necessary to go to the expense of
holding a convention.

The Evening Telegram of De
cember 14. 1903, comes to us as
an Industrial Edition, and con
sists of 64 pages full to the brim
with good words for Oregon
Thirty-two pages are devoted to
the commercial interests of the
state, 16 to the mining interests,
and the other 16 to the news of
the day of publication. It is an
honor to the state and a credit to
its enterprising publishers.

W. I. Buchanan, lately U. S.
minister to the Argentine Repub
lic, has been appointed minister
to the Republic of Panama.
Mr. Buchanan is a trained diplo
mat, with a thorough knowledge
of the Latin-American races,
and although his appointment is
only temporary, it is hoped that
his services will be particularly
valuable to both countries during
the lormative period of the new
republic Panama has already
called an election, to come off
January 20, to establish a perma
nent and regular form ot govern
ment on the Istnmus. A per
manent government is an un
known quantity in South Araeri
can politics, and this is as likely
as any to prove an iridescen
dream.

The rumored .retirement o
Porfirio Diaz from the presidency
of Mexico is a step to be re
gretted, though his long and
faithful service of twenty-six
years certainly entitles him to
rest from his labors. The proud
est monument in his career wil
be the public schools of Mexico,
Education is universal, it wil
shortly be made compulsory, and
tne peon child may now pass
from his a-b-c to the.highest di
ploma entirely at government ex
pense. All this has been acorn
plished in spite of the continued
opposition of the church and the
church party, which numbers
seven out of eight of the entire
population of the country.

Recent labor troubles in differ
ent cities bnngs out one tact in
great prominence. It is that the
employers, not the unions, took
tne ottensive. This is carrying
the war into the enemies country,
The National Manufacturers As
sociation, under the leadership o
D. M. Parry, of Indianapolis
seems to be a fixed fact, and will
ing to fight to the bitter end
They have a strong organization
unlimited capital, and a fixed de
termination to succeed. In the
recent Cloak Manufacturer
strike in San Francisco, the fac
tories shut down at once, and
non-union hands were immedi
ately imported from the East
The manufacturers claim that
'what is sauce for the goose is
. sauce, for the gander," and the
labor unions cannot logically
deny the right they themselves
exercise, that of organization.

Musical Recital.
Last Saturday evening occurred
the first public musical recital
of the season. As usual with
these recitals, the chapel .was
filled to overflowing. The pro
gram was not only interesting
but highly educational as well,
especially since it contained such
compositions as Mendelssohn's
Rondo Capriccioso and the Haydn
Sonata No. 2.
Each number was well ren
dered and was of genuine musical
interest This is all the more
noticeable when it is considered
that none of those who appeared
in solos were artists, with the ex
ception of Miss Agnes hove.
The O. A. C. orchestra of 12
pieces rendered the opening num
ber with splendid spirit and en
semble. The composition was
by. our local composer, Ruthyn
Turney, whose talent is not con-
nnea 10 tne vionn aione, as nis
work m the band and orchestra
will go to show. Among the
violin pupils, Miss Kerker ex
celled lor technic. Mr. Kerker
or tone and Master Max Miller
"or courage in facing the audience
for the first time with so difficult
a composition. Master Miller is
only 12 years of age.
Tae Ladies' Chorus elictted
the warmest applause with Soil
ing's arrangement of the Blue
Bells of Scotland.
The piano solos of Miss Sproat
and Miss Hawk, of Philomath,
were delivered in splendid style,
while Miss Ranney's selection
deserves special mention as it
was performed from memory.
The last number on the program
was Mendelssohn's Rondo Cap
riccioso, which was rendered with
consummate skill by Miss Agnes
Love. Miss Love is already an
accomplished pianist with super
ior technic and interpretation,
and her future may be looked
forward to with interest. Her
repertoire comprises many of the
leading works oh piano.
Sup't Den man mailed last week
a circular letter to his teachers
setting forth the work which our
schools are to furnish in the St.
Louis Exposition in 1904, and
which is to be returned to Lewis
and Clark Fair at Portland in
iqos. 1 nis letter has tne en
dorsement of State Sup't J. H.
Ackerman. In his letter to
Sup't Denman he says:
Friend Denman: I beg to
acknowledge the receipt of your
circular to teacners concerning
the proposition of a school ex
hibit for the St. Louis Expo

and, if you have not already done
so, may I suggest that you send a
copy to each county superintend
ent in the state. I am glad to
