That version is not In accord with the statutes governing the schools. Those laws give the governor power to appoint the regents but do not au thorize him to remove them anytime he sees fit to do so. On the contrary the spirit of those laws Is such as to prevent just these practices. The regents of the Uni versity of Oregon were named for 11 year terms and a section of the law providing for their appointment says "Xo political or sectarian test shall! ever be allowed or applied In the ap pointment of regents." The regents of the Oregon Agricul tural College were named for 10 year terms, As In the case of the univer sity fhs obvious Intent of the law was to ao organ Us the board that no gov ernor could take control and use the institution or political ends, ?ne normal school regents were named for six year terms and ths Power of removal of members of ths board for V'cause" was specifically given to the board members, & two thirds vote being required to remove a member. The old laws gave the governor no such power as Is conferred upon him by the Moser bllL If they did why was the spoils law enacted ? Why was the senate machine so eager to get the Moser bill through that they threatened the house with defeat ot 1600.000, The bureau can meet this. its initial loss, without having to aruw upon me congressional appro priation.

Boston Post CURRENT THINKING THE TRAGEDY OF YTRES. Ypres. beaten back from the zenith which It obtained around the year 1S00, ever dropping lower in the scale of Importance, is today apparently facing the last few scenes of its trag ic decline. For weeks Ypres has fig ured prominently in the war dis patches, as Germans and allies have rolled in alternate destructive waves over its site, says a statement Issued , by th National Geographic Society. Ypres was fgrmeny the capital of West Flanders. It is situated 35 miles south of Ostend, on the Yper lee. The town lies in the midst ot a fruitful region, which Is drained swamp and marsh land. Since the flooding of the country as a war weasure the swamp land Is today as It was In the middle ages. In the fourteenth century Ypres ri valed Bruges and Ghent It was one of Europe's great cloth weaving cen- rnnmmMmimmnMiHmnmminmM I n n i r- v t rr i w m u n 1 vavuu p I : : i 'ters, a city of vast wealth, and one I known everywhere through the excel lence and popularity of Its products. 1 In Its crime it was a city of 100,000. the compensation law amendments If prtor to the wr lta population num- the hoiis did hot "com across"?

The cloth making Industry of Ypres dates back to 1073. As this industry grew and skillful weavers, dyers and finishers were gathered to the city, .Ypres came to occupy in the woolen Tf tha bill meant and mixed fabric woria mucn me nothing why did not the governor ve-'"- ".n8," la lira iur tuv .t. to It and thus rebuke the legislature for misusing the emergency clause? There are several interesting points about the blowing up of the American curtains or Lyons for the manufac ture of silk. It Is said that by the first quarter of the thirteenth cen tury Ypres had 4000 looms going con stantly. i On July 11. ISOi. It was their "red- steamer Evelyn at coated'' contingent that turned vlc "Borkum," as the tory to the banners of the Flemings The Evelyn Case. dispatches have it In the first place, Borkum is an Island belonging to Germany, and If "at" means within three miles, the Evelyn was certainly taking her chances in German waters known to be mined. Mines have not been outlawed by any agreement of nations. Again, the Evelyn was on her way to the German city of Bremen with a cargo of the cotton the empire needs so badly. It would be prepos terous to think that she was torpedo ed by a German submarine; a merch antman In that region would be wel comed, not destroyed. It la wholly probable, therefore, that a German mine sardonically deprived the Ger mans of the commodity they them selves wanted very badly. No hostile Intent can be seen there. As a further matter of Interest and Importance, especially to shippers, the Evelyn Is the first vessel to be lost carrying the United States govern ment war Insurance, as ordained by congress some months ago. 11 now appears that insurance for J 55.000.000 has already been written, with a re ceipt of premiums amounting to in their battle with the French un der the walls of Courtral, IS miles east of Ypres. The Flemish army numbered 20,000 citizens of Ghent Bruges and Ypres and the French 7, 000 knights and 40,000 foot soldiers. Several popular risings, the fearful plague of 1347 and then a wild bac chanal of wars blighted the hopes of Ypres, sapped Its strength, destroyed Its Industry, killed off and scared away Its people, ruined its homes and finally, broke its spirit The re-establishment of an independent Bel glum found It hopelessly, beaten in the struggle for prosperity and pres tige. Cotton, linen and woolen cloths and laces are still manufactured or were before the war in Ypres, but It Is now Just one of a multitude of tex tile towns, and the world today will take lltle notice of the manner of its passing. Water Project Carried OREGON CITY. Ore.. March 6. Oregon City and West Linn voted a $375,000 bond issue for the construc tion of a 25-mile water pipe-line for the benefit of the two cities. West Linn agreeing to stand one-third ot the expense of the contract to get one-third of the water available. The vote was as follows.

Experiments are generally costly. Get known quality and worth; lowest cost of up-keep and operation and the greatest return for your investment you'll get them in the BUICK. BUIClv valve-in-jicad motor cars represent the acme of automobile design and construction up to tte present . time. Built around the famous Buick valve-in-hcad motor, these automobiles possess every qualification that tho most critical motorist could ask or desire. Buick cars have strength, durability and dependability, and finally, they are handsome in appearance. In mechanical excellence and in beauty and grace of line and finish they rep resent the very latest and best in tho art of motor car building. These cars have attained world wide prominence ; first, because they are correct in principle, and second, because they express those principles perfectly. Reason Why for the Buick Valve-in:Head Motor In twelve seasons of successful use the Buick valve-ln-head has demonstrated its superiority beyond all shadow of doubt This motor, first of all, is correct in principle. It Is standard in prac tically alt European cars, and It Is rapidly being adopted by Am erican manufacturers. No stronger proof could be offered that It Is right The Buick company Is the pioneer user of this type of motor. Since the first Buick car was built Buick engineers have been developing this motor, not In principle, but In refinement of de tail. Today the Iiulck valvc-ln-hcad motor Is not only the best type of motor; It also Is the best motor of Its type. Searching and exhaustive tests by gas engine authorities the world over have proven that the valve-ln-head motor is best for speed, power, dependability and fuel economy. It Is best for speed because It develops more power, for fuel consumed, than any other type of motor. All other conditions being equal it will deliver more power to the rear wheels than any other motor. It is best for power because It is so designed that It derives the maximum of energy from the fuel that goes Into It None of the energy contained In the fuel Is wasted. Every ounce Is converted Into power. It is best for dependability for the same reasons that It is speed ier and more powerful, and for the additional reason that Its threepolnt suspension enables It to resist shocks and strains with less III effect than any other type of motor. It is the most economical because It makes use of every bit of the fuel supplied. The fuel, converted Into gas, Is exploded with out being diluted with part of the dead gases from the previous explosion. Its design gives a clean cylinder for each explosion, which means the maximum In power from the minimum of fuel. In all the qualities that go to make a motor beat the valve-ln-head represents the best In theory and practice, that the world's best automobile engineers have thus far been able to produce. The 1916 Buick valve-ln-head motor, built on the same basic principles aa those which preceded It carries the application of these principles to the farthest point forward yet attained. Buick valve-ln-head motors always have been best, and they are better this year than ever before. The 1915 Buick car3 are the best ever built by the Buick organization. Twelve years of success in manufacturing motor cars every one of the more than 200,000 cars produced in that time having been built on the same sound basic principles finds this company better prepared than ever to give the utmost to those who own a Buick.
