DALLAS, OREGON, January 22, l9
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronise Dallas people.
A paraphrase "Quoth the Republi
can legislator 'Nevermore.' "
The Senatorial election off their
hands, the unfortunate Legislature
now has nothing with which to occupy
itself but business.
Some examples of human depravity
in its meanest and most contemptible
form were noted when a number of
persons went out in the vicinity of
Independence during the snow storm
and slaughtered wholesale, quails
and pheasants, which were starving
and half frozen and which certain
public spirited persons were endeavor
ing to save from destruction by
scattering food for them that had
been secured by means of public
subscriptions.
A POLITICAL ELEGY.
BT DEAN COLLINS.
The roll call sounds the knell of part
ing hopes.
The pledged men take the medicine
they earned
The disappointed lobbyist elopes
And George at last, hath that for
which he yearned.
'Neath the domed roofs of legislative
balls,
Where heaves the air in superheated
waves,
Within the Senate's, and the House's
wails,
Our fond, fond hopes marched
grandly to their graves.
Full many a scheme of shrewd and
iell intent.
The lobby and the secret conclave
bore.
In deep design full many an hour
was spent.
To weau the pletiged niru from the
swear they swore.
Mayhap upon that sore, misguided
band
That formerly the potent Statement
signed
Some mute inglorious Archbold tried
bis hand,
But could not get his forces all
alined.
How bitterly despised a draught was it.
By which the Great Non-partisan
natn tnrivea
Despite our hopes, our prayers, we
must admit

WISE TALKS BY M. D. ELLIS
. OFFICE BOY,
"Some men were born for great things,
Some men were born for small,
Some, 'tis not recorded, why they were
born at all.
Well, that's pretty near the candy
all right. I'll bet vou could ask lots
of fellows you know what they intend

eouidn t tell you.
Honest, some fellows don't know
whether they were born or whether
they just grew. 'aw says, 1 tvery

So while his triumph song peals long , barn
Anyway you can bet your bottom

And he rejoices o'er bis new found

We step aside from out the common

The first gun in the renewal of the
old normal school battle that has so
long vexed the legislative bodies of
Oregon, was fired Tuesday, by Repre
sentative Jones, of Host-burg, wno
introduced a bill providing that the
Ashland and Monmouth schools be
abolished acd the Drain and Weston
schools continued under the names of
the Western and Eastern Oregon
State Normal schools. He would have
the state board of education dispose
of the buildings and grounds of the
other two schools and have the pro
ceeds turned into the high schools or
back into the general educational
funds. While arguments galoro are
being advanced to the support of the
proposed measure, if the case be arg
ued solely on the merits of achieve
ment, the old pioneer Normal at Mon
mouth can showa record before which
the other Normal schools will be
obliged to stand aside and admit the
superior strength of her claim to continuance.

Tho following bit of sound doctrine
with regard to the recent political
experience through which Oregon has
obliged herself to pass, comes from
the Eugene Register: "After all is
said and done, regret as much as we
may that Republican Oregon should
send a Democrat to the United States
Senate, the election of Chamberlain is
not too big a price for Oregon Repub
lican Ieiii to pay for its political folly.
It is the first lesson the party In this
state needs tocure it of its political lax
ity in political affairs. With Chamber
lain, a Democrat, in the Senate, Ore
gon can make up its mind hereafter
to play a very miuor part in National
aflairs at Washington or else get wise ' m.: iv. .M..iim..uih. n.uA a. tu.;
to the importance of quitting its flirt-' l"r m. , ...
auuu wiui p'jiiwcausms ana get aown
to straight-out party activity. In our
opinion, the election of Chamberlain
to the Senate will prove the most valu
able lesson to Oregon Republicanism
it has ever had."
