WAIT AWHILE.
Until we are aKHiired of the out
come of tli Orcjron Superintendent
of Public Instruction k determined
Htand to raise the standard of eit
zeimhip of the Oregon pupil to a high
er plane, let s don t knock.
In Dalla the other day, one pre
numanly fond father whose eviden
regard to the quality and quantity
of literature was superior to goo
judgement remarked: "It's nothing
but 'tommyrot'. What they used to
teach me in school is good enough for
my children. this new citizenship
stun will ruin our public schools.'
To the eon tirary this .particular
policy when carefully examined will
prove to be excellent, and many of
the old-studies of our fathers will be
found in today's text books. They
embody the same excellent style, ex
pression and sentiment of the old
style books. Kimball Elementary
Knglisb and the grammar readers
contain the gem of thinkers and of
master's of style which are assuredly
the sort of seed to be sown in the
minds of our children. For the pupil
of the sixth graile there are little
anecdotes of lives of great men which
would naturally apiM-al to the child
It is cerlainly true that the average
parent pays but lillle regard to tin:
literature presented to his children
in the school readers. That's sim
ply why the superintendent of public
instruction must choose for him.
Iet us wait and see.
OVERWORKED.
The rural problem is overworked
according to a farm journal published
in Oregon. Jt says this:
"It is an easy matter to sit in a
nicely furnished ollice and write long
articles telling how things ought to
be done, but while professors, ex
erts, editors and oilier imprint ic
ables are doing this the farmer is
actually gelling results from the
hard knocks that cxjiericncc ami rur
al training have given him. It is well
enough to place all of the infonna-
' lion before him that comes from an
exchange of opinion and from scien
tific iuvesligalion, and he will appre
ciate this and profit by it, but the
fellow who takes the farmer for
fool has neither studied his subject
nor come in touch with the vital prill
ciple involved in the discushinii.
UP TO POLK COUNTY.
Under the caption, "Goats as Hu
man Food," the Oregonian in Sun
day's issue, puts the problem square
ly up to Polk County. The wntr
humorously savs, "Up there where
our littlest child knows that the goat
is fit to eat, no goat is ever eaten
In the folowing article there is fo.d
for thought, if not "human food,7
and some of our celebrated goat
raisers may find it worthy of com
merit:
The New York Sun reprints from
the Congressional Record the text of
a luminous discussion on the subject
of Angora goats and gaily raises the
question as to whether the Angora
coat, or anv coat, is lit to eat. or
rather to be eaten. The Sun is quite
unable to answer the question; but
there is an answer, and it can be
furnished by any resident of Polk
county, Oregon, which has made the
goat renowned throughout the world
bv providing in its gentle hills and
fruitful vales the home of the happi
est and most numerous Angora col
ony on earth.
The point of the recent goat dis
cussion in the Senate is that the Un
derwood hill puts on the free list all
animals "fit for human food." Upon
the question as to whether the beard
ed eanra should or should not be
deadheaded, Senator Wiliams said :
"I do not know whether the An
gora goat is fit to eat or not. I have
never eaten any. If the gentleman
will say that he is fit for human food
I would put him on the free list. I
have tried to eat the common goat,
but from my standpoint he is not fit
to eat. I do not know about the An
gora one."
There follows a further impressive
example of the grave Senatorial hu
mor: Mr. Cummins Mr. President, I
have some familiarity with the bill,
and I do not think that goats of any
kind are sjiecifically mentioned in the
bill or in tins section. 1 heretore 1
assume that any kind of goat would
come in at 10 per cent .
Mr. Walsh I think the senator
must be in error about that. I think
goats are covered by section 021 as
well as swine, referred to by the dis
tinguished Senator from Minnesota
(Mr. Nelson) :
'Swine, cattle, sheep and all other
rlomestie live animals suitable for hu
man food not otherwise provided for
in this section.'
If, however, you turn back to the
paragraph in question, paragraph VM
it will he quite obvious that asses
would fall under this section, if no
other animals would.
Mr. Cummins Then, Mr. Presi
dent, it is hard for me to conceive
what the onimul is that would come
n under this paragraph.
Mr. Walsh I suggest to the Sena
tor that assess would come in under
that.
We assume that Senator Walsh
meant quadnijieds. lie comes from
Montana, where they make a distinc
tion.
Yet we find no light on the inquiry
as to the edibility of the goat. We'll
cave Polk County to answer. Lp
here where your littlest child knows
hat the goat is fit to eat, no goat is
ver eaten.
THE ONLY WAY
Many Dallas Citizens Have Discover
ed it.
Just what to do when the kidneys
are affected,- is a question that con
cerns both young and old. Weak
kidneys neglected in childhood lead
to life-long suffering. People of ad
vanced years, with less vitality, suffer
doubly. In youth or age, languor,
backache, urinary irregularity, dizzi
ness and nervousness make life a
burden.
There is one remedy that acts dir
ectly on the kidneys. Dean's Kidney
Pills owe their world-wide fame to
the fact that they have cured thous
ands of cases of sick kidnevs and cur
ed them permanently.
Mrs. Joseph Iloberg, Grant bt.,
McMinnville, Ore., says: "I am al
ways glad to tell other kidney suffer
ers what a good remedy Doan's Kid
ney Pills are. I gave a statement
publicly recommending them in 1907
and I willingly confirm all I then said
in their favor." j

Sells-Eloto Liberal
It was somewhat of a surprise
when District Attorney Upjohn open
ed a long, official envelope yesterday
and found therein a check from Sells
Floto in payment of certain alleged
damages done to the school house at
Rickreall when members in the com
nanv's emnlov Dasted bills on one
of the out buildings. Acording to the
complaint filed by the school direct
ors, they were about to paint one of
the outbuildings of the school house
when the advance guard of the cir
cus posters invaded the ten (ton.
The bills were posted without due
authority, and therefore the com
plaint. The check is in payment of
damages and will insure the board
against possible loss in removing the j
posters before painting the building, j
