Nod Looney, superintendent of the State Reform School, in his coming report to the legis lature will recommend a change of the name of the institution. Mr. Looney is a Marion county farmer whose training has been in local politics and raising Jet sey cattle. He has been success ful in both. If a little decep tion works ic politics, he don't see why it should not apply to incorrigible boys. Upon grounds of frank honesty, no objections are found to the present name. In fact no more truthful and ap propriate name .could be sug gested. Superintendent Miles who has given his life to reform work, found it possible to set the Oregon institution on its feet under its present name but Farmer Looney has bucolic ideas matured in the Jefferson pre cinct, to iutroduce by applying a misnomer to the school. The name "Oregon State Reform school" he would change to some such name as "Oregon i Industrial School." The pur pose is founded on the assump tion that the name gives the in stitution standing and removes the stigma from . the reform school boys. The same pur pose would be served by calling it the "State School for Uood Little Boys," but there is little probability of the new superin tendent's recommendation being carried out or even given serious consideration by the legislature. Should a bill for the change of name be introduced, advocates for calling it the "State Juven ile, Penitentiary", will appear. That is very nearly what the re form school is and a softer name will not make it anything else. The reform school is a bad place for boys to go. It is filled with bad boys. They are every one unmanageable "at home and a menace to society. The offi cial record is against them. In very case a parent or guar dian has filed and sustained a complaint charging incorrigi bility and the county judge has regularly committed the lad. He comes to the school needing reformation. The name "Ore gon State Reform School" is neither too good nor bad for him. It fits his case. The worst that could be done for him would be to point out the readiness of the state to reward his badness by providing a home and school from which all stigma is re moved. It would also be a bad example for other boys and worthless parents. It would in crease the pace toward state paternalism. It would be an injustice to the students of the State University, State Normal schools and State Agricultural College to make the school for bad boys of the state, an insti tution, co-ordinate in name with theirs. The state would better et a premium on the efforts of ,-ra vnuth strivinsr for an eau- cation than provide reward for incorrigibility and crime. The big brick building with, all ita appointments on the hill south of Salem, i premium enough on waywardness. It is attraction enough uuder ita present name. It is properly "stigmatised" "Reform School" aud it' a proper place for boys to shun. "Bob" Hess and Ed Chester; two notorious eastern Oregon horse thieves broke jail at Vale Malehur loounty Sunday morning. The event was hilled to take place Saturday morning, so the Malheur Gazette says, but the regular program, somehow missed fire, making the boys one day late. The betting ia On tario on Saturday was ten to one that 'Bob and Ed would escape. As they were only one day be hind schedule time there will probably be no vigorous protest. Malheur couuty ha9 not yet out lived the "horss rustling period of pioneer days. It is with an element there, yet considered a business proposition, to steal horses, "work" the brands, drive them to a railroad station and ship them. A slick-ear is considered a good pick-up most any where in eastern Oregon. COURT HOUSE NEWS County Clerk Smith Has luued No License to Warehousemen to Do Business. (Dallas Special.)

About a vear aeo we people of Suver, Airlie, Lewisville, Luckia mute and vicinity decided to have a rural telephone system and to call it the Rural Telephone Com pany. We wanted the rural sys tem but did not wish to build the line alone. The Bell telephone company saw what was op and tried to assume control of the line. They tried to make the people be- lieye that long distance connection Murder, arson, thlett, bigamy, burglary, riot and other ordinary crimes are trilling in their effect, on society, compared to the wicked ness of Creflield.
