In submitting the report. Judge R. S. san. President of the board, lncorpor- ites a portion of the report of President arapbell. President Campbell says: "The fact that the high schools are apldly absorbing preparatory students Is hown by the rapid fallinc: off durine he past three years In the number en- olled In the first and second university lasses of the University, which represent he eleventh and twelfth years of the lgh school course. In my judgment here is no longer a need for the subjects I these two years to be offered by the jniversity, since students may now more lonvenlently take them In their local bleh schools. The few students who are lemote frdm high schools can get them lo good advantage in the many excellent icaaemies of the state. "The energies which are at present ab sorbed in conducting classes in prepara- ry subjects might much more advan igoously bo used In strengthening the ork of tbo regular course and building ip a strong graduate department. To lis latter work the University Is espo- lially called, for the reason that the grad uates of our Oregon colleges should have Ihe opportunity of doing at least one fear of graduate work without being Lbllged to leave the state to secure it. "When it is taken into account that he standard of preparation in nearly 111 professions calling for college traln- iS has risen to a course of study cov- Irlng from five to seven years above le high school, it Is at once apparent low important is the development of department of graduate study." tAILROAD LABORERS FLEECED Paid Fares to Victoria to Jobs That Did Not Exist.

CHANCE FOR WEST May Get Vice-Presidency if It Has Man Large Enough, FEW ASPIRE FOR THE PLACE Candidacy of Springer, of Denver, Is Largely Regarde'd as a Jofce, as Vas That of His Relative Years Ago. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 8. There Is an opportunity for the Pacific Coast, if the Coast wants to get into the Presidential swim, by hav ing a man on the Republican ticket as a candidate for yice-PresIdent. The Pacific Coast never nad a candidate for either office, unless John C Fremont could have been considered a California man, which Is something of a stretch of the imagina tion. If the Pacific Coast has a man big enough for Vice-President, and of Vice Presidential aspirations, now is the time to put him forward. If the whole stretch of country west of the Missouri, known as the Pacific Coast, the Rocky Mountain and the Inter-Mountain country possesses a VlcePresidentlal quantity, here is the time to bring him forward. Two names are mentioned in what is known as the Inter-Mountain country. John I. Webster of Nebraska is one, and his friends seem to talk quite encourag ingly about him, pointing out the fact that he is an old soldier, a constitutional law yer and a man of considerable ability. But he is not known. Out in Colorado some one Is trying to float a Vice-Presidential boom. His name Is John W. Springer. He is a Republican, President of the National Live Stock As sociation, and a nephew of William W. Springer, who at one time had a consider able reputation as a member of the House of Representatives. Springer ha3 some ability, but he Is a joke. His uncle was a joke, and yet he was talked of for Presi dent at one time. William M. Springer Just missed being serious enough and stable enough to be either a Presidential or Vlce-Presidentltl condidate John W. Springer Is a funny man, but la not what would be called a humorist. Nebraska and Colorado do not present people of Vice-Presidential size. Neither of these men would be seriously consid ered In convention. Again, to return to the Pacific Coast. George W. Perkins, Senator from Califor nia, is a man who might be considered In that connection. But who wants to leave the Senate, a position of power and In fluence and Importance, to sit In the Vice Presidential chair, and simply keep order In the Senate, put motions, and listen to long-winded speeches on the floor, Willie waiting for some accident to happen to the President of the United States, in order to be advanced to that position? Perkins would not want the nomination, but he might take the office simply as a compliment to the Pacific Coast, But is there not some other man? Is thero not somo man big enough and willing to taKe the office, some man who possesses the qualifications which would make him not only at Vice-Presidential size, but big enough for President in case some calamity should call him to that position? Cannot California, Oregon, and Washington produce a statesman that could go on the ticket with Theodore Roosevelt? Or, go back further in the mountains into Idaho, Nevada, "Utah, Montana; are there not in these' states men who ought to be considered favor ably? In the days gone by It was that any one of the new Territories possessed a sufficient number of statesmen to fill all the offices of the United States. Now U the time to bring forward one who can fill the office of Vice-President. At the present tlhie It looks very much as If the Republicans were determined to force the VIce-Presldentlal nomina tion either upon Fairbanks or Cannon. There has been a great whooping up for Cannon in the last week or ten days, which must be extremely gratifying to Fairbanks, who does not want to be put In -the position of declining the Vice Presidential nomination, and who will probably not decline It If the nomination Is made. Fairbanks Is liable to be nom inated in the end. The finger of destiny Is pointing that way, and the boom for "Uncle Joe" Cannon will be checked be: fore the convention meets. Speaker Cannon is fighting very hard the proposition to transfer him to the Senate as Vice-President. The time was when he would have preferred the United States Senate as Senator from Illinois. He was a candidate on several occasions, but he saw men much inferior to him self Intellectually and with less native ability, preferred by the politicians. He wa3 lso slaughtered by the politicians of his own state after the retirement of Reed" from the House of Representatives, and he saw a weaker man, Henderson, made Speaker in preference to himself. Henderson held the place four years, and upon his retirement the House almost unanimously turned to 'Cannon and gave him the office that had been withheld from him much" too ion?. Now, after two years, It is proposed by some people to take Cannon from tho Speaker's chair and place him in the Vice-Presidential chair; take him frora a place second only in power to that of the President of the United States, and transfer him to a place that has about as much power as the chairman of a board of supervisors of a country town, and whose only dignity is that it is called "the second highest office in the gift of the people." But Cannon would not have it He will not at present be In a position to decline an office that has not been ten dered, but the convention will Understand before any nomination Is tendered that to nominate Cannon will mean that he will decline. The statement Is often made that a man cannot afford to decline bo great a place as the Vice-Presidential nomination. But Cannon can afford to decline It. He 1b certain to be re elected Speaker if the House is Repub lican. If the Democrats gain control, he will be the minority leader, a position of great power and Influence, and equal to any place In the Senate, and not to be compared with the Vice-Presidency in point of either fame or power. Besides this, Cannon would be a mis fit in the United States Senate. He Is making and has been making a fight up on the Senate for a long time. As chair man of the committee on appropriations he has been compelled to fight the Sen ate with more vigor than any other man. It Is his desire as Speaker of tho House to bring the House back to the Important position it held long ago as a co-ordinate branch of the Government; to make it able to resist the encroachments of the Senate. When the 57th Congress terminated there was a long fight, and for a while it looked as if there might be art extra session of Congress. The Senate, at the request of Tillman, had Inserted in the general deficiency bill an appropriation of $47,000 to pay some old claim of South Carolina. The Interest on this claim made the total amount about 530,000. Cannon and the other members of the conference committee resisted the claim on the ground that it was not valid, and they fought it very hard, refusing to yield. But it was the last night of the session; Congress would adjourn in about eight hours, and besides the deficiency bill, there was the naval bill still in con ference. If these two measures failed, an extra session would be necessary. Tillman announced his Intention of talk ing both bills to death unless the confer ence agreed to the appropriation for South Carolina. After a long, weary wait and determined resistance. Cannon finally yielded. Along about 3 o'clock In the morning he carried the deficiency bill back Into the House of Representa tives with an agreement, but he was mad all the way through, and took occasion to express his opinion of the United States Senate In no unmistakable terms. In fact his speech was so bitter that it called t forth resentful remarks In ' the Senate, which met in special executive session for the purpose of acting on treaties. Both Tillman and Hale re plied, not In any such vicious terms as Cannon used towards the Senate, but m resentful mood, indicating their displeas ure. The remarks of Cannon caused con siderable 111 feeling In the Senate. With those remarks still upon the records of Congress, it is not likely that the Senate would take kindly to having Cannon preside over its proceedings, and what Is more to the point. Cannon will not take kindly to presiding over a body that he has spoken of so vigorously. Here Is a portion of what Cannon said, after speaking of the rules of the House preventing riders upon appropriation bills, and the rules of 'the House which pro vide for bringing measures to a vote, and also the power of the majority to leg islate: "In another body there are no such rules. In another body legislation Is had by unanimous consent. In another body an individual member of that body can rise in, his place and talk for one hour, two hours? ten hours, twelve hours. It is a matter of history that a Senator on the Republican side, in a former Congress, talked to death a river and harbor bill. "There comes a time constantly in the settling the bills when you must do so and so, or so and so, else your bill cannot pass, and this with reference to the great money bills. In my opinion such a condi tion as this existed as to this bill and clustered about this one amendment. There was also an amendment put on the bill in that body involving legislation to the extent of granting to the state of Ver mont $150,000 in the adjustment of her war claims. "The Senate receded, but your conferees were unable to get the Senate to recede upon this gift from the Treasury, against the law, to the state of South Carolina. By unanimous consent.another body legis lates, and in the expiring hours of the session we are powerless without that unanimous consent. 'Help me, Cassius, or I sink.' "Unanimous consent comes to the center of the Borne; unanimous consent comes through Statuary Hall, and to the House doors, and comes practically to the House. We can have no legislation .without the approval of both sides, and one body, in my opinion, cannot legislate without unan imous consent There was the alternative. "In my opinion this applied not only to the deficiency bill, but to the naval bill, an agreement as to the naval bill. Tour conferees had the alternative of submit ting to the legislative blackmail at the demand, In my opinion, of one individual I shall not say where or of letting these great money bills fail. Now, what are we going to do about it? This bill contains many important matters your appropria tions for public buildings, legislation lately had all along the line of the public service, to the extent of $20,000,000. 'Now, I have taken the House Into my confidence touching this matter, as it is my duty to do. I am getting to be a somewhat aged man. I pray God that my life may be spared until an intelligent and righteous sentiment. North and South, East and West, pervading both of the great parties, will lash anybody into obedi ence to the right of the majority to rule KanSrHfniri & Mm KmdTiftmd CtfTTl&XiyntrrHlttStiixSitttzUum and majorities and minorities shift back and forth. "Ah, says somebody, did that work in reference to the matter of statehood, and did you believe In statehood? I did not believe in statehood, and I am putting now the strongest case against my own party, but a majority of the people, voiced in the Senate and the House, had the right to have its will expressed. "Gentlemen, I have made my protest. I do it in sorrow and in humiliation, but there It Is; and in my opinion another body under these methods must change its methods of procedure, or our body, backed up by the people,' will compel that change, else this body, close to the people, shall become a mere tender, a mere bender of the pregnant hinges of the knee, to sub mit to wliat any one member of another body may demand of this body as a price for legislation."
