(Weston leader.)
The result of the normal school
election in Oregon is amazing, yet
convincing. I am amazed, because I
never had a moment's doubt that all
three schools would win. I am con
vinced convinced that Oregon eon
tains more blithering bone-heads to
the square mile than could be collect
ed by combing with a muck rake the
entire region between Kalamazoo and
Tlmbuctoo.
Who am I, that hath waxed so ar
rogant and presumptuous? Well, '.

campaign, and now "concede my de

thousand and six thousand votes.
am publisher of the Weston Leader. I
began as "roller boy" and in the
course of twenty-five Industrious
years have worked my way around
the Washington hand-press until
now manipulate the lever. You see,
speak with some authority.
The occasion of this letter is the
re-appearance of the bald and de
creoit lie, by way of an editorial obit
uary, that the Oregonian has used for
twenty years. After the defeat of two
of the schools, it says again that they
were "local high schools." I am re
signed that they should die, but not
that they should be burled with this
slander clinging to their shrouds.
When hit between the eyes by the
Oregon senate in 1909, the Weston
Normal had a registration .of 275 nor
mal students only 19 per cent of whom
came from Umatilla county and the
rest from seventeen , other Oregon
counties. It had a complete training
school of 100 pupils. In its faculty
were eight teachers who came from
leading universities including Yale
and Harvard and our own Oregon
University. It had a $40,000 main
building built by the state and well
ninn.fl from too to bottom. It had
two dormitories and a campus con
taining ten acres of ground presented
by the town of Weston. Its boarding
halls and six rented cottages were
overflowing with out-of-town students.
None of these things were or could be
true of a "local high school.
The Oregonian charges again that
the normal schools were constantly
"log-rolling" and constituted "legis
lative scandal." It is true that they
had to fight for every appropriation,

four dollars to its three normals; but
as President Campbell has tersely ob
served, they were generally "under
the log."
Whenever they began to grow they
wore nulled ud by the roots by an in-
-...loitivn Rtnte. They cost the towns in
which they were located thousands of
dollars when these towns naa

to legislative scandal, I again cnai

irle Instance wherein the. norma
.nhm,l carried a vicious measure or
ft a meritorious measure,
never has. It cannot now. It has killed
the normal schools by years or per
-i-tont and merciless mendacity.
The victory of Monmouth affords
nn!ntlon to frieneis or eou
throughout the state. Yet it will
be more than five years before the
n.fnmnnth normal can graduate a

course of study is shortened, and by

The 11th annual convention of the
Oregon-Idaho Men's Christian Associa.
tions to be held in Eugene, December
to 4 Is of more than usual signifl
cance, as it marks the completion of
the first decade of organized state
work in this district. The first conven
tion was held .In Eugene In December,
900. In these ten years, the Associa
tion movement has shown marked
progress throughout these two states,
the increase being from two hundred
to six hundred per cent In Its various
activities of work. . A review of this
program will be made in detail at the
Eugene Convention. '
The magnificent $50,000 building or
th ttnerena Association, which has
been completed during the year, will
be the headquarters of the convention
and is typical of the progress being
made In other cities. The Directors of
the Eugene Association and the Eu
gene Commercial Club extend a hear
ty invitation to the business men from
other cities to attend. Free entertain
ment will be provided for visitors In
the homes of the city.
The program is a strong one. E. L.
Bhuey, advertising manager 01 me
Lowe Bros. Paint Company, of Day
ton. Ohio, is one of the principal
speakers and leaves his own interests
for over a month without remunera
tion to attend the convention. Chas. P.
Drum, one of the Secretaries of the In
ternational Committee, will speak at
the men's meeting In the Eugene thea
tre on Saturday afternoon. He recent
ly spent several weeks among the men
on the Panama Canal and is a speaker
of great force. Of unusual Interest will
be the steroptican address on Satur
day evening by George B. Hodge, Eu
ucational Secretary of the Internation
al Committee, showing the kind of
practical education which is carried
on In the night schools or tne asso
elation throughout Nortn America.
The Tacoma Association Male Quar
tette will sing at all sessions of the
convention.
Reduced rates have been made on
all rallrod lines in Oregon and Idaho
giving one and a third fare for the
round trip. Parties attending tne
convention should purchase a full
fare one way ticket to Eugene taking
a receipt from the agent. This will en
title the holder to a third fare on re
turn.
All men. whether members of the
Young Me.n's Christian Assocltlon or
not. are Invited to attend tne conven
tion. Full information may be had by

Dallas la promised relief from un
desirable conditions caused by muddy
streets. At a meeting of the city
council last night, the Street Commit
tee was authorized to accept the offer
of a machinery company to furnish a
street sweeper on 30 days' free trial.
The company guarantees its machine
to thoroughly remove the mud from
the macadam streets, the city being
under .no obligation to buy if the work
la not satisfactory. The result of the
test will be awaited with interest by
the officers, as they are anxious to
find some successful method of clean
ing the streets during the rainy Wint-
months.
At Its meeting last night, the coun
cil ordered a 32-candlepower electric
light installed at the crossing of Wash
ington street and Fairview avenue.
near the home of William Greenwood.
The new macadam block on Wash
ington street, between Lyle and Lewis .
streets, was accepted by the city.
The bill of Mrs. Rhoda Hill for
$500 as damages for alleged Injuries
received in a fall on a defective side
walk on Levens street was disallowed,
the special committee to whom the
claim had been referred submitting an
unfavorable report.
The new liquor ordinance was read
second time and was passed by a
unanimous vote of the council. The
annual saloon license . was fixed at
800. ' The ordinance was revised in
few minor particulars, one of the
changes being to grant one license for
each 1000 of population or "major
fraction" thereof. The original ordi
nance provided for one license for
each 1000 population or "fraction"
thereof. Under the new provision, not
more than three licenses can be grant
ed until the city shall have a popula
tion exceeding 3 B00. Another change
nrovldes that a relative of an habtiual
drinker may file with the City Aud
itor a protest against the sale of liq
uor to such habitual drinker. ' The
Auditor .shall forthwith file a copy of
such protest with each liquor dealer In
the city, and any sale made contrary
to such protest thereafter shall con
stitute a violation of the ordinance. In
other respects, the ordinance iB Iden
tical with the text of the law recently
published in the city newspapers.
An agreement having been reacneu
with the Crlder brothers relative to
the -confinement of the waters or the
mill race by a concrete arch, the
Street Committee was instructed to
build the retaining walls and furnish
the- the patterns for such arch the
Crlder brothers to complete the work.
The office building on the lower
floor of the City Hall was leased to the
Ohio Investment Company, to be used
s a real estate office. The leasing or
city ground east of the hall to a bro
ther of II. L. Fenton for theater pur

Preliminary steps were taken looking
to the better lighting of the council
