An unsieued communication on suicide has come to this paper, and therefore cannot be printed even if we considered the discussion profitable. The ' writer presents an argument to prove that the act mav not be a criminal or cowardly but may even reauire considerable cour- a age. There is an evident sincerity in the tone of the article which will perhaps justify the com ment. The reasoning is fairly correct, but the premise is that "life is no longer worth living," which is false, lor no one in a morbid enough condition to con- template so rash an act can be in a position to know all the facts and form a -correct judg ment as to whether me is worth living. It is inconceiv able to any well balanced person that a brave man could turn his back on his troubles and forsake his friends and depend ent relatives by taking his own life. It is most cowardly to de sert in the presence of danger.

SENATOR MILLER'S BILL UWd Abolish All But One Nor mal School And Make It A Better One. Senator Millar of Linn county And reDresentative Caldwell of Yamhill have introduced bills in the legislator having for their object the reduction of the num ber of Normals receiving state imp- port Senator Miller would tool- Inh !1 hut nn Normal, the one at Monmouth. Representative Cald well, all but two, the oge at Mon mouth and one at W eston. sen ator Millers argument is entitled to the serious consideration of every advocate of Normal school instruct ion at state expense and every tax payer in the state. "The maintenance of four State Normal Schools in Oregon is an in- ustice to the people, because it is a waste of .monev." ears Senator Miller. "There is economy in con centration, and we would not only save money by maintaining only one such school, but could furnish Normal students a much better op portunity to secure good education, rf we had only one Normal to sup port, we could equip it in first class stvle and mate it compare favor ably with any in the United States. As long as we divide our appropri ations none of th schools will be equipped as they should be. , "In the last ten years we have spent $375,000 for Normal schools, and at the last session we appro- pi iated f 83,000 for those education al institutions. At Dram, Ashland and AVeston we spent 160,636, Ileal lXat Transfer K A Thorp hJT Osborn; lots in Independence; f "A).

In fact, the only excuse offered for euicide is mental aberration or temporary insanity, and only under- such circumstances is any sympathy properly felt. v. Some courage is shown by battling manfully against ad versity resisting the impulse to give up the struggle. Every cloud has a silver lining. While looking out for new commissions to create and searching for new duties for commissioners already in ex istence, the legislature should not overlook the quality of coal oil or kerosene being furnished the people of Oregon. Much of the oil being dealt out to the peo ple at 20 cents a gallon, is little better than muddy water. It might be considered unkind by the Standard Oil Company, but that corporation or any other corporation that solicits the peoples money should be re quired to give oil that will burn, in return. Let the legislature enlarge the scope of Dairy and Food Commissioner Bailey and provide him with a test guage to drop into Standard Oil cans while looking after the dilution of milk and adulteration of butter. ; Col. Henry E. Dosch, one of the foremost engineers of the L. & C. fair, was once a waiter in a French restaurant on Front and Morrison. It is said that dur ing his career as a flunkey he never broke a dish or spilled soup on a guest. Hence ; his rise in the world. Portland Lantern.

I have collected figures which show that if the stale were to abandon theEe three schools we could pay the railroad transporta tion of the students to the Normal School at Monmouth, increase the faculty of that school as much as necessary, and still save $40,000. This is worth considering. "As a matter of fact, these Nor mal schools are doing a large amount of eighth-grade and high school work, for which the state is paying. In the four Normal schools of this stale there are 630 students and only 289 of them are doing Normal School work. I see no reason why the state should provide common schools or high schools for a few communities at the expense of all the people. If the state must maintain a Normal School, let us have only one and that one doing only Normal School work. "Here is a list of states that have only one Normal School, and T think when our population of 413,000 is compared with theirs it should be apparent that one Nor mal is enough for Oregon: Popula- Normal tion.
