THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, MAY
Sparks from, the Anvil
The only trouble with the democratic
party in Tillamook is that the republi­
cans out-number them three to one.
* * *
Don’t get too near the little click in
this city who are writing for the Ocean
Wave and Telephone-Register. You may
get the FilipinoSitch if you do.
* * *
So President Roosevelt has signed the
oleomargarine bill in spite of theinflueace
of the millionaire meat packers to defeat
it, which shows that the president aims
to do what is right.
* *■ *
If anyone should ask you what is the
matter with the Telephone Register and
the Ocean Wave, dismiss the subject by
remarking : “They and their Tillamook
correspondents have the Filipino^itch,
which is broken out all over them.”
* * *
We see no objection to a person chang­
ing from one party to another, for that
is their inalienable right and no one has a
right to question them, but when a per­
son or a faction find they cannot get a
nomination orcontrol the party to which
they belong and then flops oyer to the
opposite side, they are genuine bolters.
* * *
After reading the Ocean Wave, a well-
known democrat was heard to say to
another, “It that is the d—n trash that
the democrats are writing. I’ll see them
to Jerico before I’ll vote for such a gang
as that.” And from what we can learn
these two democrats are not the only
ones who w’ill vote the republican ticket
on account of this blackmailing.
* * *
One would think that the editor of the
Headlight was in politics by the political
roasting he is getting. True we have
written some truthful paragraphs which
could not be refuted, but if we are to be
roasted for doing that, pile it on, boys,
as much as possible, for the voters know
who is right and will vote accordingly
next month, when we can do the roast­
ing.
* * *
“You’re the best friend the county’s
got,” said a subscribe when renewing
his subscription recently, “and every one
down in our section of the county is
going to vote the republican ticket be­
cause the Headlight came out good and
strong in denouncing the tax-eaters, and
we re all going to stay with you.” We
merely mention this to show that the
roasting that Maxwell and Sappington
gave the editor at the Fairview primary
was personal rather than public.
* * *
The religious scoffers and atheists who
are writing to the Ocean Wave show to
what class in thecommunity they belong.
It is a poor recommendation for the
democratic ticket when infidels and scof­
fers denounce republican candidates and
laud and praise democratic candidates.
It is low down politics to drag a man’s
religion into politics, but this is what the
corrupt and cowardly ring is doing. The
Headlight has too much respect for the
religious views held by candidates on the
democratic ticket to call that into ques­
tion in a political campaign. But that
is what the scoffers are doing, but con­
sider the source.
* * *
The editor was the victim of a good
joke on Monday. Mr. E. D. Hoag, the
republican nominee tor county treasurer,
came rushing into the office and said that
the body of a man had been found up the
Miami who had evidently been poisoned.
That was just the kind of news we were
looking for, when the editor threw ques­
tions at the next county treasurer with
the rapiditv of a Gatling gun. All the
satisfaction the editor got was this, “A
man started up the Miami, and having
wrapped his lunch in the Ocean Wave, it
killed him !” The editor didu’t ask ano­
ther question, but thought that the can­
didate who could play a joke on us like
that ought to be elected.
* * *
Here is a mathematical problem we
want the “outs” to figure out.
The
only objection that could be raked up
against Sheriff Aiderman was that he
had served a little more than two terms
as sheriff. In other respect he made s
clean record and a good officer. This is
still the ground upon which the ring is
fighting him end boosting Mr Edwards,
who has been sheriff, clerk, surveyor and
came near being county judge four years
ago when he bolted the democratic party
and ran independent. Figure it out for
us, gentleman, for it looks to u9 that the
disgruntled ring has never figured out
this mathematical problem the way we
have indicated.
* * *
A campaign of lies, blackmail, malice
and personal spite is what the democrats
in Tillamook county have resorted to.
The worst feature of it is lhev are trying
to pose as honest«republicans, but, mark
this, ashamed to sign their names to
their campaign lies. Shame on them, for
no gentleman who is worthy of that
name would resort to such a sneak’s
trick. But, then, what else can one ex­
pect from grafters, tax-eaters and rule
or ruin individuals. Come out like true
Americans if you want to fight the re­
publican ticket, not attack individual
members on the ticket with tactics which
are characteristic of Spaniards and gen­
uine Filipinos.

They demand easements, and the miser­
able hovel ischanged to the neat cottage.
It is true that an educated workman
demands higher wages than an ignorant
one, but hi« work is worth more. Capi­
tal is not far-sighted when it looks upon
the workman as a mere machine. A
machine may be set to the task of
running another machine, but the re-
suit has never been satisfactory.
The laborer is more thana machine. He
is a human being, and his rights as such
are as sacred and inviolable as those in­
herited by the more favored child of
fortune. The artisan may be a hewer of
wood, but if his life answers its highest
purpose, he must also be hewer of
wrong. The laborer may be the head
and guide of a family, a member of
society, a citizen of the state, and out of
these relations flow duties of the highest
importance. To prepare to meet
higher obligations of manhood, is
highest function of education.
Permit me, in this connection, to
allude *o what is called the “ over-
education” of labor. This is the latest
phase of the opposition of aristocracy
to popular education. It is now willing
to concede that a very little learning is
not a dangerous thing for the laborer,
but capital and caste are greatly con­
cerned lest the common people be spoiled
by too much education. They see special
danger in the attempt to put facilities
for acquiring a higher education within
easy reach of the children of toil, and
the free high school is assailed as the
common enemy of both capital and
labor.
I have only time to say that this op­
position to the high school rests upon
the same basis as the former opposition
to the common school. A high school
education now no more unfits a boy for
manual labor than an elementary educa­
tion did when comparatively few re­
ceived it.

WHO PAYS THE SCHOOL TAX ?
It is frequently asserted that the bur
den of school taxation is caused by the
high school, that it falls heaviest on the
poor, and that the high school is mostly
patronized by the“rich,”or by those who
can afford to keep theirchildren in school
while the children of the “ poor” must
go to work. These assertions are false.
They show either hostility to the high
school, or ignorance of facts. They are
made by two classes of individuals, by
the small politician whose heart is
always bleeding, on principle, for the
“poor,” who is always ready to avail
himself of any cry or claptrap to foist
himself into notority, or by the well-
meaning but indifferent individual who
takes the “ talk’’ of his friend, the poli­
tician, for the truth, and is too lazy to
investigate for himself.
Now, in the first place, it is not true
that the burden of school-taxation is
caused by the high school, and falls
heaviest on the poor. On the contrary,
were the high school of almost any city
of the state abolished, the school tax of
the citizen of average circumstances
would not be diminished a dollar, and,
as an actual fact, more than 60 per cent,
of the high school patrons of any of our
towns or cities belong to the poorer
class of people who pay little or no tax I
to its support, but enjoy its educational [
advantages at the expense of their richer .
neighbors. If those be regarded as [
“ poor” whose property valuation is be-1
low »1 ,000, then statistics show that at
least 60 per cent, of the graduates of the
high school for many years have been I
“ poor.” Finallv, it is well that every­
body should bear in mind that a lie un­
contradicted and persisted in can never
become the'truth, and that persons who
go around slandering the high school
either have an ax to grind, or belong to
that class who have the most to wav on
subjects about which they know the
least.
In the average public high school it
costs less to impart instruction in the
branches taught than it does for the
same class of work in the private
academy. The average cost per week
for educating each pupil in the high
schools of Michigan is less than fifty
cents. The cost per week for instruct­
ing pupils in the private schools of the
same grade is over one dollar. These
private schools may be patronized and
supported uy those who are able and
willing to pay for the exclusion which a
high tuition affords, but they are beyond
the reach of a large portion of the pupils
in our public high schools.
