The Heppner Gazette In if.) Ttiiitwtajr Morning. WftnitH'k fc Miehell. nwriil-fiui lunttrr. TnriiMAY June 13, 1W1 It is welcome news to the tax j.aj i-rt- of tl state of Oregon to learn that tlicftxeof retrenchment is lu mp; wielded to a certatn extent hrouml the t-tate icstitutions at Knlem. The State lloard of Edu cation has commenced the good work. The abuse which the txard ha undertaken to eradicate, pays a Salem dit-.aUh, is that an undue e ij-enditure of public funds in the entertainment of the personal friends or relatives of the superin tendents of these different institu tions. This ia an abuse which haa existed in its most flagrant form at the asylum for the insane, though it is quite generally known that under the present administration the injustice has been greatly di minished, li was formerly quite common for the iuperictendent and physicians at the asjlum to entertain their friend for many days at a time, and for the super intendent, in particular, to gife ocial functions at which a large number of guests were wined and dined in truly royal style. The food of which these guests ate, the magnificent splendor of their sur roundings, and the servants who waited upon them, were all main tained by the taxpayer" of the state. And when the banquet was over, the favored guests were driven home in a carriage main tained by the state, drawn by a state team and driven by a state coachman. The mention of this case of the state's equipage recalls another abas concerning whieh there has been strong complaint. It has been the custom for the ladies in the families of the princi pal officers at the asylum to use the state carriage when they go calling or shopping, and to require the services of state teams and state employes as freely as though they were provided at private ex pense. While the additional ex jnse to the taxpayers on this ac count is not large, the principle of the thing is wrong, and one "graft" leads to another. To be plain m discussion of a public question, there is no more reason why the people fchould provide a carriage for the wivee of the officers of the asylum tLan for the wives of the governor, ths chief justice, and other state officers. A lady who has a carriage at her disposal a whole afternoon and may have it waiting for her at 11 o'clock at night, and who bears none of the expense of maintaining that sort of luxury, belongs to a privileged class, not contemplated in a gov ernment of which squality is the corner stone. In answer to a telegram from the Chicago American Governor Gfcer gives a very able opinion as to the possibility of a third term for Presi dent McKinley. Governor Geer has voiced the public sentiment all over the country in the following reply: "I do not believe McKinley will be the firt-t president to have a third term, nor that the man is born who will. For many reasons McKinley will rank in history a one of our greatest presidents, but no combination of circumstances will make it necessary for him to be seriously considered by any one as a third-term candidate. I have bo idea he has ever thought so him self. No matter hovr conditions might change in this country, the proposition that no man should serve a third term would still be the lt public policy. The dec larations of the prominent men you name indicate nothing more than a desire to t sensational along the line of b-arning public sentiment on tLe quet-tion. There can b no doubt aK to what the public mind wiil say utxn this sub ject. I have the highest isib!e opinion of resident McKinley, J but tuNs'ity d Lot and will not! eiit fur the di-jiurture of the t-s- Ubhshed custom of the country' uji'U the quftiou of a third term. states and a California lumber firm j has contracted to supply 13.(K0,0M redwood ties for a railroad to be j built frDm Guayaquil, Ecuador, to; Quito. For two years the Fuget ! Round mills have I von running! their full capacity in an effort to. keep up with the demands of the Eastern roads. The land of the East and the Middle West have been denuded of this kind of ma terial and the raid for supplies is now leh) mado in earnest on the Pacific Coast forests. Spain stripped her forest land and is a partial ; desert today in consequence. North ' Carolina recognizes the dauger; which is impending and at its last session her legislature passed a law ' prohibiting absolutely the exports-! tation of timber from the state, j New Hampshire, however, exposed her unwisdom at the same time by refusing to protect her forests. never been before. This i good news. The resources of the great Inland Empire are not well enough known. Eastern Oregon can make a liue showing at the stite fair. The hanging of the live men in Modoc county for a trivial otl'ense by a mob recently, has caused a great sensation. Governor Gage has offered a reward of !?."W0 for the arrest and conviction of the persons engaged in the lynching. A proposition is now before the Portland Library Association, for discontinuing membership dues and the establishment of a free reading room. Portland has a good library of 37,62 volumes. If pos sible to maintain a free library, it would be a grand thing and a great benefit to the many people who are not able to pay the yearly dues, and who are deprived of the use of this great educating medium. With modern progression the thirst for knowledge is increasing wonder fully. The accommodation and education to so many people, and especially young people, to come from a free library, can hardly be estimated m value. It will help people who need help. Free libraries should be encouraged in every city and town. That the English speaking peo ple are being drawn more closely together is apparent The ban quet tendered recently by the Lon don chamber of commerce to the delegates of the New Tork chamber was a brilliant affair. No effort was spared to honor the American guests. In the after dinner speak ing, which occupied four hours, every speech was characterized by extreme friendliness. All the speak ers expressed the belief that Great Britain and the United States would rule the destinies of the world, and that their unwritten al liance would always work for peace and the benefit of mankind. Amer ican and English interests are be coming more and more closely allied each year. The political pot of Oregon is beginning to boil but no ingredi ents from the Eastern part of the state have yet been stirred iu. It is the same old concoction prepared by Multnomah county. La Grande Chronicle. While the weather is a little too cool for comfort and ther? are fre quent shower?, the weather is favorable for good crops and grass. It helps the farmers and stockmen, and this helps everybody. Little Japan is making prepara tions for war with Russia. It will be a different proposition from the Chinese war. The tournament was a great suc cess; made so by the enterprise of Heppner business men and citi zens. It has been demonstrated during the past week that Heppner knows how to entertain. rLiterary Notes ji The story in the Argonaut for June 10, lXl,is: "A Carcel Courtship: The Romance of Moreios and Josefim, ef Guadalajara. " It tells of a pair of lov ers who tint meet inside the wall of a prison, and describes the growth and culmination of their mutual attraction. The United States will not agree to joint guarantee of Chinese in demnity. The London Times in commenting upon the situation tells about the whole story in the following: ''Doubtless the United States is actuate! by the same reasons as Great Britain in declin ing a joint guarantee of the Chi nese indemnity. The Americans are business-like people. They are no more likely to lend credit than money to oblige China's creditors, and Washington's decision must have been foreseen and discounted long ago." It is the lot of the real news paper men and women of Oregon to be grinding out copy for the printers while the journalists of the state are gallivanting towards Buffalo to attend the alleged Na tional Editorial Association, in ! which real editors are as scarce as hens' teeth. Dalles Chronicle. The editor of the Chronicle evi dently has to stay at home. For more than fifty years an English woman (who is still living) has cher ished a little ehenf of letters written by Charles Dickens. These charming let ters show the novelist in a new part.
