HOOD RIVER EDITOR
TALKS TO STUDENTS
A. D. Moe, Proprietor of Hood River
Glacier, Addresses Class in
Journalism.
A. D. Moe, proprietor of the Hood
River Glacier, a man who has been
connected with newspapers for more
than thirty years, spoke to the first
year class in Journalism, Monday af
ternoon during the first part of the
class hour. The principal points that
he emphasized were that a man should
know what he is best fitted for and
then go ahead and do it, and that a
man should study the people with
whom he would come in contact and
endeavor to please them. He said,
“The way that a newspaper lives is by
its advertising and the way it gets
its advertising is to print the news
that interests the people most. It is
better to print the fact that John
Smith has painted his hen house white
than the fact that there were fifty
people dead as the result of a wreck
in China. “Mr. Moe also asserted
that the main mistake of the country
newspapermen is made in riding their
own hobbies too much.
STANFORD JAPANESE DEFEATS
ORATORS IN PRIZE CONTEST
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cat,
March 11.—The eloquent English of
Ichoqui M. Akahoshi, of Kumamoto,
Japan, won for him the Edward Ber
wick prize for the best oration on in
ternational peace, in a contest in
which he was pitted against three of
Stanford’s best debaters, P. D. Newell,
Grant Holcomb, and A. F. Coyle, all
“Cardinal” orators.
The Japanese in his argument for
the advancement of world peace, ad
vocated the removal of the American
protective tariff and the use of an
international language.
Akahoshi is a Senior student in the
department of economics. He has
taken a prominent part in college de
bates since his Freshman year.
A large number of the law students
at Michigan University met recently
to discuss their new system of grad
ing, and to petition a reversion to the
old system. The new system pro
vides for four grades. A is for ex
ceptional work, B is for good, C is for
passing, if no more than four hours
are made, and D is for failure. The
chief grounds of complaint laid down
at the meeting were that the standard
has been raised too high and the
passing grades placed within too
narrow limits.
On March 22, the meeting of the Y.
W. C. A. cabinets of the South Wil
lamette Associations will be held at
Eugene. From the number of letters
that have been sent in, a large num
ber of delegates are expected. Al
bany and Salem have each signified
their intention of sending ten dele
gates, and other cities from one to f
five.
If the plans which are under way
are carried out, there will be a dual
meet between the track teams of Cali
fornia and the University of Michi- |
gan. The only difficulty to be over
come is the securing of admission to
the Amateur Athletic Association by
California.
The faculty of the University of

yet under the circumstances they have

JEFMJM TRUE
Patron of University Library Finds
Eyewitness to Simple Inaugura
tion Ceremonies.
I have often heard it stated that
Jefferson at his inauguration rode on
horseback to the capitol; hitched his
horse to the fence, and unattended en
tered the building, and quite as often
have I heard this statement disputed
and set down as a myth. Today, in
reading an old book, I quite unexpect
edly ran upon the following passage:
“Let me come to the object of my
journey to Washington. The polite
ness of a member from Virginia pro
cured me a convenient seat in the
capital; and an hour after, Mr. Jef
ferson entered the house, when the
August Assembly of American Sena
tors rose to receive him. He came,
however, to the house without osten
tation. His dress was of plain cloth,
and he rode on horseback to the cap
itol without a single guard, or even
a servant in his train, dismounted
without assistance, and hitched the
briddle of his horse to the palisades.”
The book is John Davis’ Travels in
America, and bears on the title page
the date, 1803, London. It is dedicat
ed to Mr. Jefferson under date 1801,
August 31, and the dedication is ac
cepted by Jefferson under date Sep
tember 9, 1801.
I give the reference for the benfit
of anyone interested in this matter.
