PLAYING POLITICS It was recently brought to light that County Clerk Crichton was ap propriating to his own use money taken in his office as fees. The matter was eported to the county court and Mr. Crichton pleaded guilty to the indictment. He pro fessed ignorance of the law and agreed to make restitution. When first questioned regarding the omount he had collected stated that $150.00 would cover all. Later, when the matter had been gone into more thoroughly the clerk agreed to repay to the county the sum., of.. $1,000. That was agreeable to the court, and Mr. Crichton will pay, in installments a balance of $850.00. The whole proceeding seems to us to be a piece of political work. We have been informed that the taking of fees by the clerk, who did so with out intending to defraud the county, but who thought those fees were his due, had been known for some time. Proper authorities failed to take action in the matter until Mr. Crich ton had filed as a candidate to suc ceed himself, thus stamping the mat ter as a piece of political trickery. Whether it will work to the de triment of the clerk remains to be Been, at any rate those who were in the "know" in the matter are equally guilty with Mr. Crichton, for it was their duty to make it known that he was acting contrary to law; and to have iniisted on a cessation of such practice and proper restitution earlier in the game. The Times is in receipt of a set of resolutions, unsigned and accom panied with an explanation, Lsued by the "Oregon Electragists," whatever or whoever it may be, voicing disap proval of the practice of the Oregon Agricultural college entering the commercial electrical field. The resolution contains a "Be It Known," seven "Whereases" and one "Be It esolved" as well as one "Be It Further Resolved,"' in telling its story of the college doing a little electrical work. . Whoever tponsored the resolution failed to take cogni zance of the fact that the college teaches electricial engineering as well as the various .phase? of elec trical work practical as well as theo retical, and that the wont done along thote lines by sfuclerts of the course i.': part of thuir education. Each U. S. battleship is equipped with appliance fur Caching elec tricity to mf.-iibrs of the crew. A competent corps of instructors is employed, but we fail to hear any knock against the crew doing wiring and constructive work aboard those ships. Why not include the navy in the resolutions, petition our mem bers of congress and senators to use their influence toward doing away with all things pertaining to the electrical trade, and have those mem bers legislate to the end that all such work be delegated to the "Oregon TvliiMrnirinfii? When a student so far forgetta himself as to invite his teacher into the hall to aettlu a controversy with fists, then is the time for that stu dent to be nut upon and taught his place. Teachers generally are not piven to making arbitrary rule;; they usually employ the most reason able tactics in governing their school, and those who refuse to abide whole school is to be subserved, marily expelled, if the good of the by the school rules should be sum Discipline is as necessary in the schools as n the army. Without dis cipline riot would run rampant and he effect of teaching go for naught. Pupils should not be upheld in an tagonizing rulej of schools, and the ichool boards should see to it that juch rules are lived up to if the fa culty is to have peace and harmony n the schools.
