It's n good thing, but it is not n sub 41tuto for culturo ns soino imnglne. It Is not really an "accomplishment, wo much ns harking buck to the savng jry that lurks under the skin of nil of us. Accomplishments in tho way of mu ule, grace of speoch nnd writing nro Xxr moro Importnnt than tho collcgo Sell. Tho yell has tho immo merit ns tho (squall of a child it tonds to develop ment of the lungs. Tho poets nnd tho orators nnd tho writers for newspaper mngiizlncs nro scarce in tho colleges.

WHAT WILL Tins STATE D07 Of course, tho Indictment of tho land transactions by tho Marlon county j,Tnnd jury mean something or nothing. Hut it would look ns though that atm ami deliberate statomont of long existing nbuscs should bring forth some comment. Tho stnto ofllcluls should meet ami consider that report, nnd tnko somo ac tion nu the same. Condemn it ns un true, or admit its truth. Too long, too long, have those abuses jjono nu to bo Ignored whon now formal ly reported upon. Ts It possible that nil teport Is fnlset Will tho stnto land board routlnuo s it lins for forty years to Interpret tho Inw to create millionaire! and hind Wons nd Milium t la tho stnto government hero for tho -convenience nnd benefit of land grab bers) and land inonoi(ilists or for tho masses of tho taxpayers! I-'or one thing, tho proceedings nnd luminous of the Mute land board should lio given more publicity, nnd the rec ords should not bo made over bodily to tho operators In public lands. The statu laud ntlli-o has become n harboring pbu-e for too njauy of tho land-grabbing gentry who nro the ob ject of governmental colleltnda Is thnt renlly necessary. How does It hnppuu that no Informa tion to put stop to these nbuito has never leaked out of that statu land of fice beforof It is probably a fact that tho Uepnb lleaii members of the state school board have nbjeuted to somo of tho efforts wade to grab Intnl.

Vice-President Jos. H. Albert, Ot&fcier. MUNICIPAL mtE INSURANCE Municipal fire insurnnco is n sugges tion thnt comes from the far West. In Alameda, Cnl., tho chief of tho Are de partment offers the suggestion, ns n means of meeting increased municipal ity expenses nnd n retort to tho Ore insurnnco companies, which hnvo shown n disposition to rnlno rates since tho big fire at Baltimore. His nrgument In not without logic, for ho points out that tho taxpayers havo been paying for the Insurnnco companies from $30,000 to $100,000 u yenr, nnd the nvcrngd flro losses hnvo not cxceodcil $8,000 n year. Tho maintenance of tho flro depart ment eosts $'J0,000 a yenr. A Are In surnnco tax would bo n popular form of taxation, save with tho Insurance companies, and even with reduced rates tho pcopto of Alameda would llnd a considerable help In tho support of tho city government. A catastrophe from Arc would be met in tho snmo mnnncr as that from any other source, nnd tho rcscrvo fund laid by would bp u further snurco of In come, it judiciously handled. Tho fact thnt tho city must stnnd the flro loss would strongly encourage any administration, whloh hoped to retain power, to equip its flro depart ment in tho best posslblo mnnncr, nnd kcop Its building laws up to date, NOTED TOUNO WOMAN WBITEB. 1'ow women hnvo over attained such authority nnd eminence In letters ns Mis Torbell, whose history of tho Standard Oil Compnny, oftcr running about two yenrs In McCluro's Maga zine, has been published In revised form by McCluro-l'hllllps. Hho hnsto her credit three important historical volumes, besides tho ono mentioned n Llfo of Lincoln, a Life of Napoleon, nnd a Llfo of Madame Itohind. llor opinion curries, probably moro weight because of her reputation for temper aneo mid solid acquirements, thnn thnt of any American woman today, yet having accomplished all thlu Miss Tar bell I still n very young woman. Hho took up tho writing of history ns n specialty, nftor serving for some tlmo us tho editor of tho Chaiitnuquan to which sho went nftcr two years of teaching which followed her graduation from Alleghony college. Hho began hor studios In Paris, nil tho tlmo work ing her pen to support herself, nnd con tributing to tho leading American tunuthllox. The history of Napoleon, which she undertook first for McCluro's Magazine, was tho most Important mag axlno feature over brought out up to that time, and did much to insure tho sueeesM of the newly founded magazine. It was followed later by n llfo of Lin coln, which hnd nu oven moro extraor dinary popularity. Then, nt Miss Tar- bcl's suggest ion, that McClro's Mag uzlue should treat tho trust question concretely by choosing n deflnito Indus try us an example "Tho History of tho Standard Oil Company" was begun. Mis Tnrbell was ospceluly fitted to write this history, fur sho lived the greater part of hor girlhood In tho oil regions, He.r family wero all closely! connected With tho oil Industry, nnd she knew iutlinntoly all tho big figures not ublo In the ilosovery of nil nnd its ox ploltntiou. Miss Turbell is uuo of tho editors of McCluro's Mngazlne, with which sho has been connected over since its incep Hon. Sho lives very quietly In Now York iu an apartment near tho historic Washington Hquare, Notwithstanding nil her achievement, Miss Tnrb'ell is not tho slightest bit a now woman J nnd nil tho contact with tho business world nnd the roughest kind of men, whloh her infinite researches conuoctod with Standard Oil history havo on tailed, have not tu tho leusl robbed from hor the sweet nos, tho klndlluess nnd gentleuess that tire associated with th5 Ideal type of womanhood.

Our high school is being unjustly criticised by somo of tho honornblo cit izens of tho city. They say, "That wo aro too aggressive," "that it is not our placo to fight for our own rights," "that wo should lenvo political func tions of tho school nlone," "thnt wo should leave tho more important ques tions to our elders," etc. Wo sny, wo do not wish tu seem nut of our placo In tho matter, but would llko to ask tho citizens, what had tho citizens of this city accomplished In tho wny of schools provlous to tho tlmo tho schools took It up? Salem, tho second city in size, nnd tho capital of tho stato, has blun dered nlong for tho Inst ten years with out proper public school advantages, with every llttlo berg in tho country supporting high schools, nnd laughing nt it. Hllverton, McMlnnvillo, Jeffer son mid other places havo until recently been ahead of Halcm In that respect. Wo nsk, "Aro wo pupils to hnvo no right to work for our oltyT It certain ly ennnot bo denied thnt tho students of the school aro most directly interest ed in tho welfnro of it, that their in torcst comes first nnd that, that of the voter Is secondary. Tho school Is our direct boncfit, nnd tho citizen rccoivos his benefit from our being benefitted. This bolng true, how In tho nnmo of justice can tho voter Insist on oxclud log us from political mnttcrs connected with our school T That connection not only uffords us n chunco to obtain mora to our advantage, but materially aids iu developing us, nnd makes us all tho moro enjoy nnd npprcclato tho fid vantages whon wo got thorn. It trnlns us so that wo will know how to help manage such affairs whon wo are older; und, although it is n llttlo presuming,' ono sometimes might imnglno thnt somo of our worthy citizens nro sadly- lack ing in thnt training. In conclusion al low us to draw a brief summnry ns fol lows:. What has Salem had previous to tho tlmo that Mr. Travcr took tho matter in handt No high school ad-l vantages whatever, and nothing for the" poor boy but to go to work after finish ing tho eighth grade. What has Salem nt present! Tho foundation of n high school thnt if properly sustained will accommodate tho poor boy, nud bo nn ovorlnsting beuofit to our fair city. What do somo of our noisy nou-progrcs-slvo citizens want to do about itl Knock tho thing iu tho head, or in oth er worda put a damper on its develop ment by electing a uon-progresslvo man us director. What do tho students wish to do about it f To promoto tho good work that is so woll started, to put an aggressive man on tho school hoard, and work for tho ndvantngo of our school und city.
