JACKSON AND WILSON The Oregonian commenting on the Jackson Club of Portland proposing to change its name to the Woodrow Wilson Club, compares Wilson with Jackson and says: "Andrew Jackson, for example, was a soldier, who be lieved that the way to treat the Nation's enemies was to fight them and to conquer them.. It is not hard to imagine what Jackson would have done with Mexico; and it is no less easy to surmise that President Jackson would have acted instantly in assertion of the National honor in any of the complications growing out of the European war. There would have been no watchful waiting with him; nor futile fooling after the Lusitania incident; nor polite protesting after the British embargo on sea trade. Not with Jackson. "Yet Jackson is the real Democratic idol and Wilson only an imitation idol. Jackson was a Democrat, and Wilson is an aristocrat; Jackson was a friend of the com mon people, whom he knew and understood, and Wilson has merely an academic interest in the common people, whom he doubtless desires to serve at a distance but whom he neither knows nor understands. Jackson was a warrior, and Wilson is too proud to fight. Jackson boldly avowed that the spoils belong to the victor; Wilson re pudiates the spoils doctrine, but permits his subordinates to practice it." We would judge from the sentiment of the criticism that the editor who wrote it is more of a Bull Mooser than a Republican, for the lofty warlike expressions sound much like the call of the leader of that herd now nearly extinct. It is evident he thinks when the Lusitania was sunk that the president of the United States should not have waited even to find out what caused the tragedy, but should have at once assembled congress and de manded it declare war on Germany. It is fair to presume also that had the writer of that editorial occupied the presidential chair, war would have been declared on Mexico and thousands of young American lives been sacrificed, because we butted into a Mexican family row, that was none of our business. That is undoubtedly what Mr. Roosevelt would have done had he been president. There is a time to fight, if need be, to the last ditch, and all true Americans can be depended on to do this fighting, when the occasion requires; but that occasion has not arisen so far either with the nations of Europe or the rabble of Mexico. The calm judgment of the people of America regard less of politics indorses President Wilson's course, and commends him for his keeping this country at peace with all the world. Those who make the most noise about national honor and patriotism are not always the first to take up anus, or risk their lives in defense of the national honor about which they are so easily and so violently perturbed. INCREASING COST OF EDUCATION paign. Yesterday it said editorially that only 45 out of 2,000 seamen at San Francisco could quality under the new seamen's law. This in the face of the fact that only 400 had applied for examination up to Tuesday night, and most of these had not been examined, owing to the force of physicians being insufficient, and no proper blanks be yag provided. The navy department is of course to blame for this state of affairs, but the law, though it may be a foolish one, isn't. James J. Hill, otherwise just "Jim," made an offer to donate $50,000 toward the endowment of Albany College conditioned on Albany raising $200,000, cash or bankable securities. Albany knows a good thing when it sees it, and so it saw Mr. Hill's offer and went it $1,000 better having, according to the bankers committee which has just examined the fund, $201,000 secured. It is now up to James J. to add 25 per cent to this sum and make it a round quarter of a million.- M. O. Evans, acting state leader for agricultural work of the Oregon Agricultural college, was here yesterday to discuss the agricultural work of the county with Judge Bushey and also to meet the representatives of Marion county granges. We are told he learned considerable about conditions here and also that his education con cerning them is yet far from complete. The Oregon Voter being misled by the placing of a decimal point credited Salem with what it commented on as a remarkably low tax, two and one-tenth mills. The decimal point should have gone one figure further to the right. Still the mistake was really a fortunate one, for the Voter said some real nice things about Salem that otherwise might have remained unsaid. The Aggies were not given a big reception at Portland yesterday as planned. Portland was willing and anxious, but the Aggies had a game coming soon and Coach Stewart wanted to get them home and at work. They stopped in Portland only about an hour, but that full sixty minutes was sure steady ovation. orj Concerning the ever increasing cost of the public schools the leading editorial in Wednesday's Oregonian is the most complete and noteworthy criticism of modern educational methods that we ever had the pleasure of reading and should be read and digested by every tax payer, and more especially by every educator. The Ore gonian points out that the parting of thevays has been reacneu, oocause me enu oi me capacity to pay nas aiso been reached. This means that there must be a radical change in methods, and a cutting out perhaps of some branches now taught. It also points out that the aim of modern educa tors is to catch the child vountr. run him throuch a fixed groove and turn him out a fixed product; to relieve the parent of responsibility; in short, to establish as a public function the manufacture of manhood and womanhood without self-applied energy. Evidently our big morning contemporary down in Portland is preparing for the coming presidential cam- FOR REVENUE ONLY . We cannot truly love the man whose business is his idol; it shapes his every act and plan, it is his spur and bridle. He beams upon the little chaps, and, while he's looking sunny, he thinks, "They'll tell their dads, perhaps, and I will get their money." Hp p-ivps some nickels t.n t.hfi nnnr. with f fr'eedoni most surprising, when he is ab solutely sure twin Dnng mm advertising. He'll stand up strong for any cause which may have raised a flutter, if it will help him sell some saws, some calico or butter. On Sunday to the church he wends, and thinks, while hymns are ringing, "It's good to make these people friends new trade thev will be bringing." When some one dies he sheds a tear, as one left sad and lonely, but while he weeps above the bier, he thinks of income only. "The mourners have all kinds of kale, their trade is well worth gaining, and so I'll whoop around and wail, my lungs and larynx spraining." We find this man in every clime, and with gold bricks we rate him; he puts it over for a time, but in the end we hate him.
