The resignation of the mayor, city attorney and Catholic chief of police leaves the city admin istration completely In the control of the Gifford secessionists unless a reconciliation has been accomplish ed recently. We don't know whether gun-toting is as prevalent in Eugene as it is in Medford; but we do know that of all the towns in the state that ought to be ashamed of itself for permitting intolerance to gain such dominating ascendency, Eugene is that town by virtue of us previous lack of evidence denoting any ten dency towards municipal hysteria. Oregon Voter. COMMUNITY DAILY VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL PROGRAM WONDERFUL SCHOOL LAW The Oregon compulsory school law to do away with all private or sec tarian schooling of children between eight and sixteen, had some wonder ful provisions according to the attor ney general. He rules that the Yoeman's Na tional Children's home to cast ten millions, can be operated as a private school In Oregon under thai law by simply incorporating a Yoeman's school district. The legal department of the state rules that by incorporating n s'.-,,-district of their own on their ov laud, they ceuld operate u j,r;Yat'. school for the common grad.3 from eight to sixteen. If the Yoeman can do it. what is to prevent the different relUiom de nominations conducting schools, from operatinng in a similar way a school district of theirown a::d de fying the law?
