Debates on Boer War, Education and Labor in Oregon
A 19th century column comments on global events and policy. It contrasts Boer resistance with British diplomacy, critiques English aims, and questions future settlement. Then it critiques Oregon funding for higher education versus public schools, urging a uniform term and state book costs. It notes George B. Cortelyou’s cabinet role and warns against labor department subservience to corporations. The piece closes with concern over Japanese immigrant crime in Seattle and calls for stricter scrutiny of foreigners.
