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!

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

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
