Education la necessary that he may really live for himself and that he may live for others. Now we may consider the value of education to the public Ufa of the cit izens of a democracy. No govern ment can exist without a ruler. As the ruler, so must be his nation. The history of the world la largely a his tory of nionarchs. Nations have aris en and fallen with their sovereigns. In some true sense might any ruler Bay with the king of France, "The state? It Is I." The lives of wise, energetic kings tell the story of suc cessful, victorious nations: the lives of weak, vacillating and crazy kings of weak, vacillating and crazy Kings, i the story of national deterioration. lethargy and defeat.

JAY BOWERKIAN NOV GOVERNOR STATE WINS IMPORTANT INJUNC TION SUIT. FIFTEEN GOVERNMENT CRUIS ERS TAKE TIMBER CENSUS OF CASCADE FOREST RESERVE. PETITION WITH 12.0C0 NAMES. Salem. Oregon bail acjuiitd a new governor, for the Unit bi!t:g. He la Jay Uowermaii oi Coiidcn end sue ceeds to the office beeaut-e of and by virtue of his pcsltlon as president ot the Oregon state senate. The const I tutlon of Oregon provides that in lb event of the resignation, absence oi other disability ol both the Governoi and aecretary of state, the president of the senate shall perform the oRlcs of the chief .executive. The accumu lation of atate bua'nefa caused Gov ernor Benson who is receiving treat ment for a bothersome alfiictlon of the face, to call on Mr. Howerman to relieve the executive office at. Salem of the congestion. It la be-levcd by H. L. Dnnson, brother to the governor, that if t'ae governor Is allowed to remain In San Francisco long encug:i. his physicians will be able to restore him to his for mer health. Heretofore the governor has been compered to return before the course of treatment had been com pleted, nectssarily to his great disad vantage. State Wlni Suit. Salem. The state of Oregon won a vfctory over the Corvallis & Eastern Railway company in the Circuit court when Judge Galloway decided the case of the railroad against the state land board in favor of the board. This was an Injunction action to restrain the land board from selling a small quan tity of tldeland in Alsea Bay, and in Itself was unimportant, but invo'-ving as It does title to thousands of acres of tide and submerged lands in Alsea, Yaquina and Siletz bays, the outcome has been awaited with interest. The company set up that the legis lature of 1874 had ceded to the prede cessors In Interest of the Corvallis & Eastern Railway company all the tide lands in the three bays named; that the railroad company s right had be come a vested one and that no sub sequent session of the legislature had the power to revoke the action of the session of 1874. Government Takes Invoice of Timber. Eugene Fifteen or more expert timber cruisers in the employ t)f the government are now in Eugene ready to start for the Cascade forest reserve, where they will make a careful cruise ot all of the timber of the entire wa tershed of the Willamette river and its tributaries. They will make a com plete survey of the entire forest and classily the land, segregating the tim ber into logging units, and expect to be at the work all this summer ana a greater part of next. This Is the first attempt of the gov ernment to take an inventory of its timber resources, and hereafter it will know just what it has and will be able to dispose of it with some justice to itself and fairness .o its citizenship. Not Enough Votes in District. Salem. According to a ruling made by the secretary of state's office, there were not enough votes cast by the democrats for their pominee for con gressman in the second congressional district two years ago for that party to nominate a candidate under the di rect primary law. The nominations will have to be made under the old system. The direct primary law provides that a political party is not a party In a congressional district unless it can cast 25 per cent at least, of the total ,. ::::j:1u good milker. ( lias. S. Illlf.
