The Monmouth Oregon weekly derives from the Herald edited by D. E. Stitt with Friday issue cadence. The notice shows antiquated postage wording and annual subscription pricing, indicating a small town newspaper history.
The editorial notes Dallas street dust and asks what Monmouth should do, criticizing single tax funded by Samuel Fels and others while urging voting against it. It predicts a crowded Republican nominating fight between Taft and Roosevelt with potential dark horse.
The Weston Leader argues that people differ in makeup and aims and should be free to pursue goals unless they harm others. It notes law and social strife arise from interference and urges love of fellow men as a path to happiness, criticizing envy and pursuit of mere baubles. Mr. Cowgill of Creswell questions Oregon voting on single tax and its burden on land.
The Ohio gathering awarded four delegates at large to President Taft, a move Roosevelt calls treachery though the nomination fight persists. Ohio also paused nominating state officers until after the Chicago convention, with harmony still elusive.
The London Chronicle notes Elizabeth I enforced strict book censorship with loyal bishops and councillors reviewing most works before licensing, except law texts handled by the top judges. Licensing later split among archbishops, London bishop, and Oxford and Cambridge vice chancellors for university presses, while the master of the revels controlled plays and poems. The press escaped emancipation only in 1695 after a Commons victory over the Lords.
County Superintendent H. C. Seymour announces state papers examinations at the Dallas Polk County courthouse from June 19 at 9 a.m. to June 22 at 4 p.m. Subjects include United States History, Physiology, Writing, Geography, Reading, Arithmetic, Language, Literature, Grammar, Physics, Orthography, Civil Government, Geometry, Geology, Bookkeeping, and School Law with a primary certificate thesis.
Princess Likelike daughter of Kapaakea and mother of Katulani died February 3 1887 not from illness but a lava flow from Kilauea seen as a sign demanding Pele appeasement. Her conviction led to despair and death, while Likihiku later died of grief after learning of betrayal.
