HOW ABOUT YOURSELF.
The Fossil Journal in a recent
issue goes so far as to assort that
all the papers opposing the pro
posed wholesale change of school
bookB in this state have been bought
Such slanderous and uncalled-for
assertions really deserve no notice,
as ordinarily it would obtain little
circulation among the people
through the medium of the Fossil
organ. But the Oregonian havinc
seconded the calumnious article by
giving it credence find space, it
should receive some attention.
There is hardly a reputable pa
per in the state that would refuse
to publish ordinary paid matter.
And yet it is a rare case to find one
that will allow its editorial opin
ions to be influenced by pelf.
Such broad statements are wholly
unwarranted and we would judge
under ordinary circumstances that
the author of such was measuring
other people in his own "half
bushel." We leave it to our readers, who
aro in the main school patrons, to
judge as to the right side, and also
ns to which papers are influenced
editorially by money. The various
book companies, of which there are
a number, are combined in their
efforts to force a change, which, if
successful, will probably put upon
us inferior books, and at no lower
prices than those now used.
Does the Oregonian work for fun?
1-j that the reputation that our great
metropolitan paper bears ? We
leave it to the public to decide.
In the meantime our Fossil
friend had bettor ponder over his
accusation that his co-workers in
this state are all purchasable all
but the Journal and Oregonian.

Tun present valued policy law
of this state should remain ou the
statute books. If anything, it
should bo strengthened by further
amendments, but its repeal should
not bo thought of for oue moment,
aud the Gazette believes will not
be considered in this light by any
considerable portion of the next
legislature.
The Gazette calls attention to
tlio article written by Frof. AVier
on tho proposed chango of school
books. The professor thinks that
under existing laws nnd conditions
an attempt to change the text books
of this state would resultdisastrous
ly. However, in his opinion some
of tho books now in use might be
improved upon, but will they?

The general agent of KmJ, .McNally & ,
P., n-o qu h il,. nrnnin nf venter- I
Jiiy, has a book to Bell. For this reason
be is deeply conoerned lest the schools of
Oregon should be compelled to ass fur
six years longer a series of geographies,
whioh be proDOunoas high in price and
obsolete in methods. The Mouteith
geographies now in use in Oregon aro an
excellent series of textbooks. Published
tweuty years ago, tbey have been fre
quently revised and brought down to
date, while their many excellent features
have been preserved and improved. The
very fact that while new books on geog
raphy aro being published every year,
the works of Mouteith still retain their
popularity and are used in thousands of
sohools throughout the land, is an unan
swerable argnment in favor of their
ascertained merit. In their efforts to
supplant standard works, bnok-mnkers
rack their brains for some Dew devioe or
catchy fad with which to entrop the un
wary. One uinbitious geographer has
disoovered a "world ridge" about whioh
be groups a mass of heterogeneous ideas
adorned with pretty but irrelevant
pictures, Another book, so poorlyjuade
that its agent is constantly apologizing
lor its appearance, tries to muke up for
its many deficiencies by a gorgeously
colored froutispieoe. The book of Hand,
MoNully ft Co. cannot, however, be ao
cused of any innovation. Its author,
having stiuggled in vain to think of
something new, seems in sheer despair
to have ooncl ud 'd to substitute something
very old. lie has, therefore adopted the
printed question and uoewer method, a
scheme so old aud so universally con
demned that it had long beeu obsolete
when the alleged obsolete methods of
Mouteith were striking uovolties, fresh
from the brain of their talented originat
or. The truth is that sahool bo iks whioh
have never been tested in the actual
schoolroom are to be regarded with much
suspicion. Nearly nlways they abound
in errors of matter and methods; errors
whioh only actual uss can doteot and
careful revision remove, liooks bised
on rational pi-incioles, after having nu
lergone this ordeal, become standard,
and, though frequently revised in order
that they may In kpt abreast with re

their old titles aud their holdings, while
newer books catering to some passing
pedagogical fancy, become the t ilk of an
hour and pass into oblivion . Those who
have to phhi u;i m tho question of text
books for the use of the schools of this
lute have now placed Iwforo them hun
dreds of volumes with whioh they are
unfamiliar, sooie of them no doubt have
merit, while others are unquestionably
bad. Time will not permit a careful ex
amination of them all, and a inostsearoh
ing perusal would not bo as oonolusive
as the verdict of aotual use. The books
now adopted hive stojd this oruoiul
test; common prudence, therefore, de
mands their retuution. Ad I to this tho
item of expense, which no ingenious
juggling with fraotious by ngents or
their paid allies can send to tbf b iok

Editor Gazette:
Allow me a word
on tho text book
question. ,1 am profoundly interested in
it, for they (the agitators) are meddling
with my tools whan Ibey moddle with
text bo-jks desire to do goof work,
and I supposs my pupils and their
parents want me to do so; b''t I cancot
do as we'l with pior tools as I oau with
good ones. Now, why must I be treated
so much worse than the poorest barn
carpenter? He may olioose his own tool',
and probably does so in most oases.
I think these agitators have mistated
the oiisj somewhat. If we have text
books so poor as to really rob the
children of a considerable part of their
education, if it cin be rlemonst rated
that even fairly competent teaoherB can
not produce nearly the best known
scholarship by the use of any text-book
now used in onr schools, must parents,
I think, would ba willing aud woald
find the way, to buy a new one in its
place. But the mare assertion that
such is the oase, made by a book agent
or, indeed, any person, has no element
of demonstration in it. To demonstrate
and prove the matter, it needs faots,
carefully aud plentifully drawn directly
from a wide range of well-established
and eminently successful schools, so as
to put the facts beyond the range of
accident, caprice or sham. Even with
snob faots for a beginning, Ihe question
concerning the merits of a text-book
should finally be settled by the well
established principles of tenoning and
education, furnished by tho history of
Education. Until such arguments have
been used, and books now in use thus
proved to bs decidedly wrong or inferior
to olher avaihble ones, a change is
absolutely objectionable for far more
urgent reasons than that of expense. A
change unsettles habits; the prooess of
tho child's education is emphatically
one of sle uly, persistent habits. Then,
of cnirse, the money question is so
serious that but few of onr people have
nuy money to waste or ire oarelessly.
That some of tba text-books now iD
use in our schools are very poor indeed,
oau hi demonstrated ; but the limits of
this articled ) not permit me to inolude
such demonstration. Now, for the sake
of argument, grant my state meut already
mad", and I can then infer therefrom
that those who selected our text-bookc
some years ag i, made serious and far
rouching mistakes. But is that a reason
why we should make no attempt at
mending them, that we shuultl bear
them another six years, and spoil the
education of another generation? Why
do people take great pains to provide the
best possible advantages for Iheir horses.
cattle, and sheep, and not for their
children?
What are the conclusions of these
seemingly heterogeneous remarks?
These are the points. The agitators
have left out of the question sumo of
the most important factors, and the
have nsed their assertions, often vague,
as if they were arguments and proofs.
The case is not proved yet. Secondly,
some of our text-books are very poor,
but a hasty, superQoinl, headlong change
will not better tho aase, since change in
educational process is at best a neces
sary evil. A oomplete change of text
books would be nil the more hurtful aud
unwarrantable. Thirdly, the whole text
book plan of Ibis state is an enirmouf
imposition upon its largest and beBt

they had a speoial election for the pur
pose of ratifying or repudiating the
illegal" indebtedness of the oounty.
Just which debts are considered legal
and which are illegal in Washington we
are at a loss to understand, but our
nnderstandiug of the matter is that had
repudiation oarried Kittitas county
would have started in anew with a clean
balance sheet and let her creditors
bistle. We have been assisted to this
understanding by a letter from Mires
Warner, of Ellensburg, under date
Deo, 8th, whioh says if repudiation
carries they "might as well let the
matter drop." The "matter" referred to
is tbe fees of the witnesses who went
from Gilliam oounty to KUeiisburg for
tbe defense of Cal. Hale, oharged with
robbing tbe Roslyn bank, which fees
ires St, Warner are authorized to
collect. The Bmouut of the fees is
almost 2000, and it oost the witnesses
that sum to obey the summons served
upon then; and if that is not a legal
debt we oannot oompreheod what it is.
But repudiation didn't carry, for a
wonder, considering that is the easiest
known way to oanoel a debt and a way
that needs only to be introduced to
beoome immensely popular with debtors.
Tbe election resulted in ratification of
the debt by abont i to 1. Those who
voted for ratification are deserving of no
especial oredit for simply doing what
was rigb , but the repudiation advocates
bo made snob an election possib'e
should be treated to tar aud feathers or
some more drastio medicine. There are
more ways nf disgracing a county than
the building of an irrigation ditob with
wind, and it is not to be wondered at
that tbe Ellensburg ditch promoters
were nnable to float their bonds, for
bond buyers don't go a cent on repudi
ation, the Jonrnal Is glad to learn

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government is
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because
of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their
natents. Too much care cannot be exercised in emolovincr comrjetent and reli.
able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not
entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re
taiued counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to
Obtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct ln
terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trademarks and Copyrights, Render Opinions aa to
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
