Polk foregoes everything else
if it can secure a big, fat appro-
priation for the normal school
at Monmouth, as no doubt il
will. Portland Journal.
The red-lettered metropolitan
paper it none too considerate of
outside counties though it he
the Blue Ribbon county of the
state. The mother state Nor
mal is located in J'olk county,
but it is no more a local insti
tution than is the Lewis and
Clark Fair to be held in Mult-
nomah county. The insinua
tion that Polk county is bend
ing every energy for an appro
priation for the Normal SchooH
merely because it is located in
Polk county is incorrect. Of
course the Polk county , delega
tion favors an appropriation for
the school but it will not fore
go everything else for such ap
propriation. Polk county is in
terested in an appropriation for
all the state institutions. She
is interested in an appropriation
for the Lewis and Clark Fair
and for the Boys and Girls Aid
Society though located in Mult-1
nomah county. The value and
influence of none of them is cir
cumscribed by county boundary
lines; or if they are they should
be cut off. The influence of the
State Normal is certainly shared
by every county in the state
The School now has a powerful
alumni association and a big
per centage of the teachers of
the state received their training
here. In educational circles,
graduates of this school occupy
SX prominent place. This is evi
Jenced by their numbers in the
: State Educational Association;
in various state schools and in
the list of county superintend-
- ents as well as in the graded
- schools of the state. , With the
. amount of appropriation meted
-out to it the State Normal at
Monmouth has accomplished
greater results than can be
shown by any state school in
the country. Even now with a
good attendance, loyal teachers
and enthusiastic students, the
Rchool is scrimping along with
out a dormitory. The legis
lature should see that a dormi
tory is built this year, and the
needs of the school in every re
spect should be cheerfully met
right after being put. The im.

Farrar did not change allegi
ance to candidates of ins own
volition and that a pressur from
without was brought to bear
with him. What that pressure
was, it is useless to discuss but
it was suggested by the Senator
from Tolk and while editona
hv the column and ha
column is being awarded Sen
tnr Croison and Farrar, Sena
tor Loughary should also have
nuraflranh or two oil the same
basis. '

The Machine And Hrownell.
No man has served the politic
machine, or the powers that b
mor faithfully at this seion than
Senator. Brownell.
He delivered the votes from
county in both house and senate
thut maile thintrs cro. and he has
o w
taken a back seat
Senator Rrownell had it iu hit
power to mar the program at th
most critical point of the perlorui
ance but he refrained.
If there is a political machine i
Orffnn it owes Brownell a debt of
-------
gratitude, a debt to be payed by
passing resolutions.
Will Brownell be made governor
or be sent to congress or the United
States aen&ie? What will the
machine do tor Brownell?
In the mean time watch what
Browoell will do with the machine

TJoforrinor to the election of
a president of the senate af ? a
two days struggle, the '
Statesman goes off on a tangeu.
of ifness to say:
"If Senator Farrar is deserv
ing of a half column commen
datory editorial for getting right
after being wrong for two days,
if he was wrong, why is not Sen
ator Croisan entitled to a full
column of praise for being right
all the time, if he was right?
And since the Statesman
would reward State Senators
with editorial space, the amount
of space to be in proportion- to
' their Tightness, it should allot a
stick or two to Senator Lough

Farrar is to have a half column

The last issue of Corvallis Times
says: A wicked telephone war is
in progress in Corvallis. It is In
the nature of a canvass for tele
phone subscribers, and has been in
nronress for a week. Toth com
panies are engaged in the canTis,
anl thm air ii full of the SUloke of
the skirmishes. It is understood
that in order to get subscribers,
the bell people are offering phones
n some instances free for a few
months, in other cases at greatly
reduced rates and in any other
way in order to locate a bell phone
n th house. The mimosa of
course is to drive the Independent
system, if possible out of business,
and then raue the fees back to the
old price that was threatened just
before tbe advent of the new coin-
nanv. to-w t: per montn.
C r ' -
Editorially, the Tunes adds
"Just before the Independent tele
phone system came to Corvallis,
tbe old company published a
notice, stating that the rates on all
new phones would tbereaAer be
1.25 per month. In th tele
phone fight that ia now in pro
gress, various persons are onerea
Bell phones at very low rates, in
some instances free. The present
effort of the Bell to drive tbe
new company to t&e wall, so that
there will be no cowpxrliton in I hi
eld. J it not setf-reervirtiv
nder tk circumsttMiee, for the
people of Corvallis to-stay with the
new company? WkU H be better
stand fey and protect and m at
tain the new system, or will it bw
better to jpin with the- Bdl for de
struction ef the In&peadent, so
the Bell cr have the- fteid all So
itself and vat up rates- 99 it pro
posed to dbj tie t before the Inde-
ndent company casae?
"Corvallfo has probably the beet
telephone system of any town of it
. That i
be tostimetay of all the- strangers
bo have seen the- EtMfependent
system. Sk is a system and
service fa aoperior to-tha4 of any
ther town in Oregon, It is at
feature for Corvaliieitea to show to
strangers when they oona to the
Fair nexb summer, ae one of the
attractions of Corvallis as a home
city. Loeal busiaesa men as
heavy owners in tie system, and to
stand in with the Bell phone in taw
present fight by subscribing for its
phones,, in to stand in against eur
own people, against our own
capital, against our own town.
Let tke Bell have tbe long dis
tance but give all tbe local pusu
ness to the Independent that
ahrMald be. and in the motto of
everr Corvalfisite who stands first
and always lor his own people and
bis own town.
