Consolidation of school districts now being effected In many counties of tho state under tho new school law, will probably bo undertaken by sever al districts In Jackson cdunty. There Is movement under way to consolidate the throo districts In Sams Valley into orio district and to put In a graded sohool. The proposition is being dis cussed of Joining to tho Talent dis trict No. 8, lying to the east of Talent and the Wagner Creek and Anderson Ctaric district that He to the west of TfllttnL Talent now has one of tho beat graded schools In the county and the three adjoining districts, being unable to maintain the advanced grade In their school, are anxious to seouru tha-beneflts of the Talent Hohool, The farmers are learning that the ftystem under whloh the rural districts havo been conducted Is both expen sive nnd lacking in the thoroughness that a school should havo A throe month term and twenty-live classes for a dozen scholars glvo no practical results in the way of oducatlng the fanner boys and girls, and, as this Is an ago of brains, In whloh the Ignor ant havo no chnnco for sticcoes. the farmer who denlroB that his children shall havo nn education Is compelled to send them away from home. The consolidated district gives to the coun try sohotars the same oduoational ad vantages thnt those of the city enjoy nnd It brings a decrease In expense to the taxpayer and tho retention of the home ixlluenco to the children. The day pf the small district and tho un graded school Is rapidly passing, and In Its place Is coming the large dis trict and the graded, fully equipped sdhool. In charge of able and pro gressive teachers. THE POWER OF GRAFT. Municipal house cleaning In differ ent parte of the country discloses the fnot that too many city legislatures and department heads have yielded to the power of graft. Kecont roveln tleiM have shown deplorable rotten tiMM among officials, and it would seem that only a beginning has been made. It ha lotig been accepted as a fact that while Tammany rules New York lo4llHf and bribery will be the m epjeuetie features of municipal admin talnutoH. It ha been generally ad mitted that no TuminuRy pqHUcImh take to olttce holding for hie health, and, judged by the willingness of New York peopto to retain Tammany In power, the eeneluelou must be that they regard the rake-off as a neces sary Aril, i Uul other clUee. while shocked at New York's political 'demonstration, littve labored under the delusion that the conduct of their own public ser vsjiu wu above reproach. This seem to have ueon a buneMtable mistake. Ilrtbery and corruption have (lour lahed In other municipalities even move luxuriantly than In New York. SbsjuetaM veeallty has been uucor. ered In Philadelphia, St. lwls. Min neapolis and Grand Rapids, and yes terday It was announced that Milwau kee should be added to the list of ettiee Is dlscraro The chief offenses are those of ac oentlnc bribes for franrhlses and other privileges from city councils nod from levying blackmail from the onUawed chuso in return for peKee uiwteecJo. All the evtdeaoe om to aHftw that the morals of musician! elHefctht were never at to low an ebb, and that the seductions of graft hare beea Immutable. Perhaps, these disclosure following one ujwa anotlter. may awaken the people to the neoeselty of stamping out the evil by the selection of more hewtarable, mon for the administration of WMBtoiMai affairs. Certainly some thing must be done. If the eltlas of the country are not to be run In the Interest of those who want valuable imiiiiimiiiniiiniii IIIHIIIMIr privileges,' and are willing to bribe of iflclals to get them. Spokeaman-Ile- viewi FORECAST FOR NEXT ELECTION. General Grosvenor, the vetoran Ohio congressman, Is not bapply un less he U figuring on election results. And tho strange part about the mat ter Is that the Oh loan Is seldom far out of the way. The other day, dur-' lng a debate In the house, the general becomed Involved la a controversy over politics, during which he gave out his prediction regarding the re sult of the election next year. The total number of electoral votes In 1904 will bo 47(5, so that 280 are necessary to a choice. Of these Mr. Grosvenor conceded as surely Democratic only 151 the votes of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis souri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia; In other words, the solid South, with Maryland not included in it, but Ken tucky counted in. As sure Republican states, Mr. Grosvenor sots down the follewing: California 10 Colorado 5 Connecticut .. 7 Illinois 27 Indiana A ;.-.;.... '15 Iowa 13 Kansas 10 Maine C Massachusetts ... ifi Michigan .' 14 Minnesota - .."." 11 Nebraska 8 New Hampshire 4 New Jersey 12 North Dakota .'. 4 Ohio 23 Oregon 4 Pennsylvania 24 Rhode Island '.... 4 South Dakota '4 Vermont 4 Washington S West Virginia 7 Wisconsin 13 Wyoming ' 3 Total 263 This leaves the following in the doubtful list: Delaware 3 Idaho 3 Maryland 8 Montana , 3 Nevada 3 New York 30 Utah 3 Total C2 A study of these figures show that to win tho Democrats must not only carry all of the states conceded to the Domocrats, all of those placed in the doubtful list, but as well get' 26 of those votes classed by General Grosvenor as surely Republican surely not a pleasant prospect for the leaders of the present minority party. It Is certain that Dry an could not carry a single one of these states classed as Republican, and It Is Just as oertaln that of those spoken of as doubtful he would not get a dozen votes. Unless there Is a mighty up heaval before next November It will be seen that "Okl Figgers" Is very conservative In his election predlc tlons. Land Board Meets. The state land board yesterday af ternoon met and decided the swamp land contest lietween Senator Mara tsrs and others on the one side and J. W. Iiamaker and others on the oth er. About 11.000 acres were Involved in the transaction, and the state board decided to advertise the lands in con troversy, and sell it to the highest bidder, thus giving both contestants an equal show at securing the proper ty; in the case of the lands not being contested the board fixed the price at 1.00 per acre, The land board, during the month of November, received $il.M8.S$ on aecount of the several funds In the bauds of the board.

I want to live In Salem, and to have a house In this town that will cost $10,000, and, If I have my health, I will have a residence of that kind.

Tho poor patient, and tho rich patient, too, can do much bettor at home by proper attontlon to food dlgostlon, and a regular course of Gorman Syrup. Free expectoration in tho morning Is mado certain by Gorman Syrup, bo is a good night's rest and tho absence of that weak ening cough and debilitating night sweat Restless nights and tho ex haustion duo to coughing, the groat ost danger and dread of tho consump tive, can bo provented or stopped by taking Gorman Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you bo nblo to go to a warmer ollme you will find that of tho thousands of consumptives there, the few who are benefitted and regain strength are thoso who use German Syrup.
