Albany C (liege. Portland Journal: For every dollar raised in Oregon, friends in the east will give another dollar for a further endowment of $00, 000 for Albany college. A canvass for .funds is in progress in Portland, and 'but four days remain for -the effort. . Friends in thiB city will doubtless rally . around the plan. The smaller denomi i national institutions are. as essential to the educational system aB the larger state establishments. Every added . revenue to learning, every added op- , portunity for youth to drink at the fountain of knowledge is an asset for a more militant race and for a better social and economic life. In addition ' to the avenue it opens to knowledge the denominational institution presents ; phases-noc found in the non-sectarian schools, and these phases strongly ap peal to a large section of our popula tion. In addition their smaller enroll ment, their quieter conditions, their closer relations between instructor and . instructed and thu family-like ties pre- valent in their student life, make them to some a more desirable educational instrumentality than are the larger state establishments. By the measure of its educational re - sources, a atate advances or is nun . progressive. By the same moasure a self-governing nation is safe or un- safe. Past experiments in selt-gov-' ernment have failed by reason of an ) illiterate electorate. With a more vwideiy diffused knowledge somo of the old free governments of the past might not have perished. In any event eyery agency of educa -tion in this country ought to be fos tered, the denominational college among them, and by that token more endowment for Albany college is more stability for this last and greatest ex-1 . perlment In human freedom. The Scuttle l'nir. The Wireless telephone will be lem onstrated on the grounds. News from vessels on the Alaskan trade will be published in a daily paper 'tissued on the grounds. Korea will be represented by an hibit of brass wares, carved wood, lin ens and silks. Nearly every county in the State of California will be represented by sep orate displays. Fish cooked in a hundred dilferent ways will be served in the Alaska build ,:ing. This will be done to demonstrate i the value of Alaska fish as a food pro duct. Electroliers of French Renaissance dosign vi'ul a-b usul to illuminate the grounds. .Hundreds of the beautiful ..standards. have been built. On the top - of each will be a large sphere of light containing sixty thirty candle power , globes. : Of the appropriation of $300,000 au- vthorized by Congress for participation at the exposition, $350,000 will be used in the construction of buildings. The big exhibit places will be ready to re ceive the display from the department at Washington, Aia.vka, Hawaii and the Philippines nut later than March 1st. ii iiw " 'I A MKiru Step. No state has attracted wider atttv tion recently than Oregon, on account of its modal-n laws, which have been passed in the interest of the people. This Btato has taken a forward step in placing the law making power close to the people, done through the referen dum. It has also taken a remarkable .step in practically placing the election of U. S. Senator in the hands of the people where it belongs, a fact adnvt ited by everybody. These advance steps should be kept cnvinlatu, and the , present state legislature will do well tu fix this statement solidly in its head. The people of Oregon are not in a mood 'to stand any foolishness, lhey have put the stale on a high plain, and pro . pose to keep it there, regardless of the drivelling of a few poli iciana.

Under the present ar rangement a man almost takes his life in his hands. The business is a neces sity, and underground workmen are en titled to a better safeguard for their lives. No mattor how lowly the calling, long as it is honorable, in which one is engaged, he glorifies labor, secures selfreBpect and that of others when he works efficiently.
