IT
IN A BAD CAUSE
To the Editor:
I know Fred W. Moart and voted
for him once. He appears to have
done the flip-flop act with thrllllnu
dexterity Blnce then. . liliod him
then, because ho preached the very
things, in some cases, which Presi
dent Wilson lias advocated for years
in his histories and magazine conirl-
Initl'jns and the substantial ideas of
reform and prosross, which ho has
for three years been crystallizing into
national law. He has not changed.
What possible Influence could change
the mind of a good citizen, a well
meaning, loyal American, to advo
cate the opposite things now? That is
what, neighbor Mears is doing.
Xo man is so blind as the voter
who will paste the party label over
his eyes, thus shutting out the view
oT things ahead. 1 can't see my way
clear to favoring that sort of citizen
ship. I am sorry that Mr. Mears de
ceived me once. Tint he can't lead
me wrong this time. I am still quite
positively advocating the very re
forms the support of which gave birth
to '.he progressive party. I am yet a
progressive; and I regard President
Wilson as the broadest typo of pro
gressive citizen this country has ever
had. ,
Tearful Apiwil
T cannot listen with patience to this
tearful appeal for party loyalty.
Loyalty to my country commands my
first thought and my first vote. There
is nothing in common between me
and the rotten political foritoratlon
controlled by Wall street. We all
know what that means: It means
dissipation of public moneys, public
morals, public Interests and public
lenity to Integrity of purpose, to
honorable government for all the
people all the time, and it means the
destruction of those elements of do
mestic life that make the home a
place of sacred safety. Mears is
wrong. He is blindly partisan. He
has stupidly forsaken the ideals he
once hugged to his bosomwjien he
wanted votes. Such men are mere
political harterers.
T don't blame -Mr.' Mears for not
going down to the Alexicnn border
with a knapsack on his shoulders.
War is a dreadful thing, it Is the
horror of all horrors in Europe now
Can we not picture in our minds the
awful blood-lust, the agonies of j
thousands of deaths hourly, ' the
moaning of the maimed and blinded
soldiers on the battlefields and the
bursting of the bosoms of bereaved
mothers and young wives, whose
hopes and joys have gone down into
that seething hell of devastation?
ContJiidiclion Claims.
Of course. Mr. Mears doesn't want
anything of that kind. Then why
does he claim, in cue breath, that we
are at war with Mexico and In
nnother that we are not, the latter
claim giving him excuse for not
going to the front and fighting like
a man, as lie says Wilson should have
caused our husbands and sons to do
in order to protect the lives and
property of a few adventurers and
exploiters of the homes and resources
of the ignorant and enslaved peons
of that rich, but unhappy, republic
Mr. Mears is wrong, lie is over
zealous in a had cause. His choice
of partisan fealty this time Is most
unhappy. His error will rise to
smite him. It is too had. Indeed,
that active souls like him and Mrs.
Ilnnley are wasting so much enthu
siasm on such n flimsy pretext.
Lincoln was a great and good man.
He rnme Into public life like a savior
of the people. Like him, Wilson is
a great and good man. He. too, came
into public life like a savior of his
country. His country rannot afford
to spare him now. ,

HATCHERY IKE
TO WILSON FUND PERFECT TROUT
To the Public:
The Jackson county republican
committee is evidently out to localize
the "Dirty Dora" campaign lieing
waged by the republican national
cuinmlttee.
In a petty, scurilons contribution
to the Medford Sun this morning,
they attempted to slander the con
tributions to the local Wilson cam
paign fund by stigmatizing this con
tributions, a a gambling fund and i
the donors as gamblers.
That any one might he actuated
by patriotism or a desire to see
honest government perpetuated is
apparently beyond the understand
ing and conscience of the committee.
-Money flows so readily and easy
to the sack of the republican national
committee that the little donation
of tho humblo democrat may seem
like n Joke to the committee, per
haps, too, the committee is judging
others by its own measurements, that
Is to say. Its efforts are not so purely
patriotic a's they are hopeful that
they may oust somo deserving demo
crat from office and take his place.
it is is always a boomerang and a
sad mistake to judge, others by yourself.
Try and ho decent gentlemen and
lots have no more Innuendo of this
character, as it is ontirely unwar
ranted, and will do no good.

Of morn than 6,000 ichool teachers In the public schools
of Oregon, but 13 per cent have been trained for thtlr
protection of teaching In Normal Schools.
It m a well cbtahlluhi'd fuel that our one Normal
Hrhool cannot supply the needs of the entire state.
That Is why we auk for your work and vote for the
proposed Kasteru Oregon Stale Normal School at
i'untlk'ton, Oregon.
CIVE EASTERN OREGON SQUARE DEAL
Eight counties In the Willamette Valley have employed
during the past five years, 203 teachers who have gradu
ated from the Monmouth Normal as against 39 Monmouth
Normal School graduates for the eight leading countlse
of Eastern Orroo".
During the past ftve years the attendance of students
from nine Willamette Valley counties was 877 atudsnta
as against 91 students from nine of the leading counties
of U. litem Oregon.
owiim to the crowded condition of our one Normal
at Monmouth and hIbo the diKtance uud expense of
attending, Htudenta from KaBtern Oregon are com
pelled to tto to neighboring stales to secure their
training as teachers.
ONLY COSTS 4 CENTS PER $1,000
The annual maintenance cost of the proposed State
Normal School in Eatern Oregon amounts to but one
2i th of a mill or 4 cents on a thousand dollars of taxable
property. Iln't It worth this to have your children trained
to become useful and productive citizens?
STRONG ENDORSEMENTS
Among those who strongly endorse the establish
ment or lliu proposed Kastern Oregon Normal School
are Governor Withycomhe, J. H. Ackerman, Presi
dent of the Monmouth State Norma); W. J. Kerr,
1'reHident of the Oregon Agricultural College; P. L.
('umphell. President ol the State University; Itobert
'. Prcneh, former President of the Weston Normal,
and practically all of the leading educators of the
Stale. J. A. Churchill, Superintendent of Public In
struction, voices the sentlmentH of thoso who are
most familiar with the need of more adequate Normal
furtlllU's when he says:
"Oregon's greatest need for Its rural schools la the
teacher who has hd full preparation to do her work.
Such preparation can best come through Normal School
training.
"I trust. that the voters of the state will assist In raising
the standard of our schools by establishing a State Nor
mtl School at Pendleton. The location is central, the in
tcest of the people of Pendleton in education most excel
lent, and the Urge number of pupils in the public schools
will give ample opportunity to students to get the amount
of teaching practice required in a standard normal school."
All the a hove educators insist that a Standard
Normal School must he located in a town of 6000
or more population and having enough grade pupils
for teaching practice.
VOTE RIGHT
my voting YES for No. 301 you will help to olve to the
school children of Oregon the same advantages enjoyed
by the school children of our neighboring states.
