(Special.) I'rofespor Kred orlrk G. Younu, head of the department of economics, addressed tho student-body Jant week on "What's the University For, Anyhow?" He traced the part various Institutions have played) in the development of civ ilization, dwelling especially on the ,uni veraity as an instrument of culture and factor of development in the National life of this country. He spoke of the efforts of Washington to secure a National uni versity and then went on to toll of the state Institutions, some of them in the Western States established simply be cause of the two townships of land jrranted for the purpose. Others, how ever, the speaker mentioned as assum ing, alnnj with the growth of the com monwealth, the true functions of the state university, and entering upon a eareer of enlightening and ennobling the life of the entire people. Then Professor Young took up In particular the Univer sity of Oregon. He said: Troubles of Uie TCarly Days. The pt of the university Idea in Ore gn is lntTet1ng and unique to a decree. Orrgnn has a Htttte ITnlversity. hecaus as a foundling inptitutton it whs imposed upon her. And yt I hav wn a. etaiemnt that even Wlwoiurtn, where now the Cniversity idea has highest honor and real isation, in dayw of old, tried to iret tonfrrers to allow her to divert her university endowment to the purposes of the common schools. If Wisconsin from such nn attitude toward the 'Stale mi vers, ry Idea can recover bo as to bent the world, it's up to Orefcrtn with a similar past to hr credit to heat Wisconsin. As a found 1 In jc. this Institution differed all the sMjchts that naturally accompany such an origin and therw are Mill douhts as to whether the Oregon peoplo will ever take !t to their hearts as their ewn. In the earlier t orations of the Capital and the penitentiary by vote of the Legislature the Vniversity waa twice, used as a pawn to consummate a political harrain. The sec ond home of this Institution was a mining camp, far removed from the main body of the OreToai population. Concerning the moving of the I'nlverslty to Jacksonville, k it wj openly asserted on the floor of the Territorial Iesjlslature that the University had as well been located In the middle of the Pacific Ocean or in Europe. o far as bflng of any possible service to the people for whom It was intended. The Institu tion la now in Its third home. The Tjower House of the Territorial leg islature nn January 11, .&.",", by a vote of I" to 12. phsm1 a memorial, asking Con-E-ress to divert the University endowment f two townships) of land to the purposes of the common schools. (So the TJnn County HUBgestion of 1JHS is not original. ) Even thn latUEUAae of Oregon's present Consti tution creates the suspicion that Its makers were nt 111 Inclined to h-ve the proceeds of the University grant turned over to the common school, for they put off the es tablishment of the University ten years and miR Rested by that time Congress might have Mowed the diversion of the fund. Con gress, however. In the act admitting the state, made it neepsnary for Oregon to ac cept the land grant for university purposes or not accept it at all. After the Institution warn established for the utilization of the land fund, language Is used to Indicate that any state aid was wholly foreign to the state's Intent. When first state appropria tions were made, they were explained as compensations for losses the land fund had sustained through careless admin 1st ration of It by territorial and state officials. Change is University ljrad Items. Before we paw judgment upon these early stAta policies toward lis University we must remember that conditions were still very primitive here. The first few miles of rall rwd were just being built. Accumulations were small. The problems that they had means for were simple. Conditions of social equality obtained. It would have been moat saJwtAry, indeed, if there bad been a strong Institution to bring Into association . the youth who were to be the leaders of the next generation. Rut there were no func tions Tor the State University recognized distinct from those of the colleges of the time. Of these they had a full supply. Under such, circumstances there could be but three grounds upon which the wisdom of liberal ayproprtations for the State Uni versity could be vindicated. It should be maintained as the crown and complement as well as Integral part of the public eohool eyetexn; It should provide Instruction and fartl1tiea of a. distinctly higher order than those of the college of the state, and on the same plan with, those of the universi ties of nelgbbortng at a tee ; and It should K.rTord more avaiktbl opportunities for in digent youth of promise suid talent. Thee limitation upon the State Uni versity's function and upon Its possibilities of social service In Oregon held good 30 years ago. But the eltuatkm has changed. The door of opportunitY for State University activities has swung wide open the country over. Their duties and responsibilities have increased proportionately with their oppor tunities. And yet we shall see that no other people have placed themselves in quite the degree of need of the wide-st state uni versity service as have the people of Ore gon; and in no other state, I believe, is the field so rich, and Inviting. Responsibility of Ntate University. The beginning of the moving out of the state universities Into their wider realms is apparent on every band. Supported almost wholly by taxation, and possessed of but 1 i k M end owment s. yet In growth they far outstrip other higher Institutions. State universities share with endowed universities the advantage due to the new alliance of 4. hiftlitvr education with the life-activities of the whole people. Higher education Is com muted as never before to the reinforcement of labor with thought, scientific principles and svlentino method. Kvery vocation Is bevomlng a profession. The watting maid has long siru-e evolved into the trained mire. The kitchen maid has open to her t-otlege courses in domestic science and hme economics. The blacksmiths and t-arpentr graduate as mechanical engi neers, and be who has had majors in each of chemistry, biology and economics is ready for farming. Because science has thus become the wedded helpmeet of in dustry tbe university's relations must be active and direct with every outlving neigh borhood of the state and with every farm and shop and store. But of the higher Institutions state uni versities have a rich and sacred responsi bility peculiarly their own. Mr. Klthu Root, In an sddreas before the student of Yale Intversity recently, observed that "while democracy has proved successful under simple conditions. It remains to be seen how It will stand the strain of the -ast t omplleations of life upon w hich the coun try 1s now entering.' It is the fact of theee vast and growing complications that makes the continuing welfare of democracy rest directly and more and more completely upon the Mate universities. No common school training alone will suffice. A leaven tf state university method and spirit must reach all Neither w ill any institution of higher education orsnnired and supported in any other way than is the state uni versity ever be fitted to save democracy with Its Increasingly grave problems. Only the Institution that belongs to the w hole people because supported by them and which becomes more and more perfectly adjusted to meet their needs because it TT'oks to them for its support wtil conserve ih Interests of all the people. It will he I'time the common school of the adults of all classes. Tue An erics n people are completing their era of exploitation. The neju i conera tton.

The celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the estab ment of the old Methodist Episcopal Mission at The Dalles, together with the unveiling of a memorial tablet ,set upon Pulpit Rock, from which the earliest .missionaries preached, took place here today under the auspices of the Old Fort Dalles Historical Society and the Good Intent Society of The Dalies Methodist Church. The exercises were held this afternoon In the open air at Pulpit Rock, memorial speeches being made by Dr. D. L. Rader, director of the Pacific Christian Advo cate, of Portland: F. II.

From this time on it must be organized, concerted and co-operative effort if the advantages of the 30th century and of their heritage is to be theirs. The public or common utili ties must for their continuing welfare in clude an ever wider range. The sources of their water supply must be theirs. Their Improved streams, their highways, their forests, their mines, their water powers, their natural parks all must be under their control for wiselrt. policies of development and conservation. An agency that win -utilise the best science and the highest motive In getting together the people will alone suffice to lead them in the work neceseary for the salva tion of democracy. Data are necessary for sound polirlea of constructive statesman ship and the State University Library or ganization Is adapted for furnishing them. The onward-look must be cultivated and that is eharacterlstlo of the university. The state' univemity then alone is competent for all these practical and yet idealistic efforts for the commonwealth good. Its courses will be apprenticeships in the pro motion of the publie welfare. Its repre sentative sent out on commencement day will be but by-products, yet of finer culture and nobler spirit than when culture for culture's sake was the exclusive rule. In the shifting of social institutions the moving up of some and the falling back of others the state untverslty. unless it sells for a mese of pottage tts heritage that the conditions of the 2oth century in Western America have thrown Into its lap. Is bound to assume the position of leadership and make the history. And why should not the state untverslty attain unto the function of the super-mind and super-heart of a people, since it has their talented and generous hearted youth, is endowed with the best facilities for the attainment of scientific truth and the use of scientific method and Is provided with the chief -depositary of necessary data? Embodies Fnwlcsll Idealism. And further, with selected mental re sources represented In the student body, with hearts of all kindled to practical Ideal ism and with the activities of the univer sity orgsntzed to extend throughout the. state why shoyld not state universities rid us of the pernicious and corrupting stand ards of conspicuous waste and conspicuous leisure, and make the charm of life reside in attrvlc ? Then would social cleavage fade and society remain democratic through' and through. With such prestige for tne regenerating motive we should have the principle, of the founder of Christianity given embodiment and potency as never ac corded It before. The state university Idea represents the alliance of the largest thought and the widest love for the regen eration of commonwealth life. It means sweetness as well as light. It represents a union In an institution for which creation has yearned until now. Every Indication of fact and of theory shows the indippensabillty of the State Uni versity for carrying safely forward American civilisation. What of the Ftate University in Oregon Do the conditions peculiar to her make the distinctive functions of the State Uni versity of larger or of smaller use to her people? It takes but a glance to rtveal that they have more to gain by investment in a strong State University organisation and more to lose through, neglect of tt than has any other commonwealth. Everybody in Oregon as never before is impressed with possibilities the future has in store for this state. Unfortunately, however, not all are clear whether it shall be an old Babylon cr a new Jerusalem that shall be realized here. Present Condition in Oregon. Not only are the people of Oregon in an aspiring mood, but they are also in an In novating icr at least in an initiating) mood.

Address Rev. D. I- Rader,, D. D. Vnveillng tablet Miss Ethel IV. Grubbs. Singing, "America." Benediction. Pulpit Rock is a slender basalt pillar which rises abruptly among the pines near the south boundary of the city, forming a natural pulpit, from which the early missionaries were accustomed to preach to their Indian audiences in pleas ant weather. It was first used in 1&J8, when the missionaries named., on the tablet arrived at The Dalles, bringing their supplies and equipment in two canoes from the Willamette Valley. The rock originally had two pinnacles rising about 12 feet from the base. Rev. Daniel Lee enisled off one of those points for a table on which to place his Bible. The other was used as a seat by the minister. Joseph Luxillo. an old Indian, who etill makes an annual pilgrimage to the mis sion spring, where he was baptized . by Rev. A. F. Waller, and who is seated on the rock in the picture, describes the or der of Sunday exercises as follows: At dawn the minister mounted Pulpit Rock and blew a horn that could be heard across the Columbia. The people washed and dressed themselves decently, crossed plastic a state. Institutions, constitutions and rights generally are in Uux. The situ ation is critical. The breaking us of the old set that the Oregon institutions had. instead of affording an opportunity for mov ing forward the University to the position In the life r-nd organixatlon of the state that 20th century conditions call for it to occupy, threatens rather a thrusting back into obscurity. It is the irony of fate that a form of procedure of pure democracy is utilized for this fell purpose of undoing the one agency that alone can give pure dem ocracy any chance of victory. To all the needs or a state university that any other Western state , has, Oregon adds fundamental ones peculiar to her self. A state made up of two such strongly contrasted portions as those of Oregon. East and West of the mountains, must by all means ha e a permanent "get-together" agency in which the coming leaders of the two sections may be brought Into such frlrndly relations as to make these differ ences count for strength, and to serve for supplementing each other, rather than for contention. Again, the very richness and diversity of our resources add complications to our commonwealth problems. Oregon con ditions call for comprehensive policies of forestry, of transportation and for the con servation of water for irrigation and power purposes. The. diversities of the Coast, the Willamette Valley, the Scu-thern Oregon and the Eastern Oregon conditions will take the best trained genius lor statesmanship for the salutary adjustment of every order of state institutions. From the nature of the situation In Oregon the Oregon people must administer immensely valuable public utili ties and public wealth with prosperity, pres tige and happiness or become the wretched dependents of absentee capitalists. To the people of Oregon much has been given, and infinitely more can be developed from that which has been given them, and much will be required in wisdom, enlightenment and loyalty, or they will forfeit their heritage. And further, the Oregon people surely do not wish to pose as mendicants, using the science and art developed in the out side world and giving none In return. No self-respecting, happy and prosperous peo ple would do that. It is true the Oregon people will be tbe benefactors of all man kind if they make a grand success of their venture in pure democracy. But they may fail, and If they do they -will be human ity's curse. With sublime audacity Oregon is Just entering upon the use of the most liberal forms of the initiative and refer endum. The eyes of the world are upon her. The Oregon people are a fit people for this venture for mankind. But there Is a tremendous result at stake. Glorious success means prestige and honor from all parts of earth. Failure, however, means that they become a by-word and a hissing for the cynic and the lament of every true friend of man. An absolutely essential con dition to any worthy degree of success Is the largest and best service to the people from a strongly supported State University.

Because of warning letters and visits from night riders, many farmers "in nearly all of the 42 counties in the "White-Bur ley to bacco district are busily destroying their tobacco beds and at the present time less than one-third of the number usually planted have been started. In many coun ties huge signs have been erected on buildings and in high places near by, de claring the intention of tbe farmer not to raise a crop this season. . Realizing the difficulty in making a liv ing for their families In case the decis ion to raise no tobacco is adhered to, man)' tenant farmers are preparing to move to other states, while many farm owners have placed their property on the market with avowed purpose of leaving Kentucky. Spring sty ics 11 an an shoes at Rosenthal's For Two Years Prohibition Forces Hare Been Carrying On Contest. Opposition Organizes Bryan's Platform Now Suits "Dry." OMAHA, Neb.. March 22. SpeciaJ. William J. Bryan, in his effort to carry his own state at the coming Presi dential election, has enlisted the Prohibi tion forces. While this fact is incidental to the real issue, it Is nevertheless true that the Prohibition lssue.has been in serted in the campaign, and will doubt less be one of the most striking fea tures of the comlne struggle. There can be no doubt that conditions in Nebraska are ripe for this step. The Ahti -Saloon league and the W. C. T. U. have been waging a campaign within the state which is conceded to be the most effective ever attempted. Members of the Legislature who attended the Dem ocratic and Republican conventions in Omaha during the present month were interviewed In numbers on the prohibition question and almost without exception they admitted that the spirit had become a predominating factor in - local politics in their home counties. Many of them declared that to 'be a candidate for re election to the State Legislature would mean that they must define their position on the prohibition question, and that those who stood open for the saloon would have a stiff fight on their hands. regardless of the predominance of their party in their respective sections. ' Fight Wages for Two Years. There has been a quiet but fierce cam paign waged for the past two years, which until now. has not come to an open fight. Both sides have appealed to the business interests. The anti-saloon people have come out on the broad plat form that the saloon is a menace to the good of a community, both from a busi ne&s and moral standpoint. They have enlisted the aid and support of several hundred prominent business men of Ne braska who believe that the money ex pended in the liquor business, from manu facturer down to retailer, would serve much better purposes if it were circulated through other channels of trade. They have taken an honest stand on this point and are bringing a strong influence to bear on the people to bring them to that way of thinking. To oppose this movement at least three strong organizations have pooled their forces. The National- Retail Liquordealers Association, the Brew ers Protective Association and the Nebraska Retail Dealers' Association have combined to make open war on the prohibition movement, and an or ganization of business men, headed by Arthur C. Smith, a local dry goods jobber, has quietly taken up the strug gle on behalf of the business men's Interests. County Option Law Proposed. The antl-aloon people got started early and their campaign was under a good mo mentum before the liquor interests real Ized it. The first victory was in the pas sage by the last Legislature of a law di vorcing the brewery and retail interests. Now is proposed a county option law. This will give all the voters in the county an opportunity to vote, where formerly only citizens of incorporated towns were permitted to decide whether the town should be "wet" or "dry. Tbe country voters are expected to put the saloons out of business in 70 per cent of the counties. This would result in a prohibition Legislature be !ng elected and put the temperance people in control. The next step, as mapped out, is to secure the passage of. a precinct and ward option law. Such a law would make it optional whether saloons should be located in any par ticular ward, and in cities like Omaha. South Omaha, Lincoln and others of their class all the saloons would be lo cated In the down-town sections. W ith this extensive programme up for the consideration of the voters of Nebraska, the temperance movement is expected to receive an Impetus such as it has not had since the days of Belva Lockwood. Its influence already has been felt In the Nebraska state plat form, written by William J. Bryan, and presumed to be a model of what he would have adopted by the Denver con vention. No "Personal Liberty" Plank. On the night preceding the Nebraska State Convention Mr. Bryan administered a stinging rebuke to the brewery Inter ests. He was going over the proposed platform with the men" who had been se lected to act on- the resolutions cosnm'l. tee. w. S. Shoemaker, an Omaha attor ney, was selected to present to the com mittee a "personal liberty' plank for in sertion In the platform. He had consid erable trouble securing a hearing at all, and when he finally was given a minute to present his plank, Mr. Bryan replied that it should find no place in the resolu tions, adding the remark: "We might as well say 'We are with the brewers' and be done with It." The following afternoon, when the plat form was being dressed up for presenta tion to the convention. Shoemaker again appeared and attempted to secure a hear ing. He was quickly subdued, however, and even refused admission to the com mittee room. Other state leaders, including Mayor Dahlman. of Omaha, admit they see the end of the saloon in Nebraska. Dahlman himself favors the saloon, and was elect ed on a platform which indorsed the Sunday refreshment booth, but was forced later to clap the "lid" on because he was threatened by the Law and Order League. He admits that the "personal liberty" plank Is not likely to appear in tle Dem ocratic National platform. OFFER REWARD FOR SLAYER Governor to Put up $4000 for Mur- derer of Julius Wallende.

This band of thieves is supposed, to be com posed of five members and ail are in custody at the present time. Four are now in the Walla Walla County Jail and one in the. Harney County, Or., Jail. Paul Krueger, alias Paul France, alias Edward Hugler, was arrested in Burns some days ago. J. A. Mclntyre is under arrest at Burns, and a deputy sheriff is on his way to bring him to Walla Walla. It is estimated that these five men have within the past .several months made away with nearly 300 head of horses, valued at riot less than $26,000. ' The first direct trace of the guilty parties was obtained by following a ship ment of three carloads of horses to the Spokane market some weeks ago. Clews were followed up and it is said that abso lute proof of the guilt of the parties has been secured. The band was no respecter of persons or animals. They stole fine draft horses out of the fields, driving horses out of the barns and even Indian cayuses off the range. - If Mclntyre refuses to allow himself to be brought back from the Oregon country.
