KEEPING THE MIND CLEAN.
The test of manhood and character is
in the ability to keep the mind clean.
Were this no difficult task the world
would have reached its millenium ages
ago: in fact the serpent would not now
be crawling on his belly nor Adam and
Eve have yielded up the ghost and the
Garden of Eden passed out of exist
ence.
Neither would Alexander have died in
his twenties, nor would Nero have sack
ed Rome. Neither would crime have
been begotten nor would men, women and
children by the millions be suffering the
poverty of the reign of economic ter
ror today.
An evil thought conceived, may, like a
■ulphur match, lie dormant until struck,
and then if at the wrong moment and
In the wrong place father the flame
whose destructive path is a harvest of
love’s labor lost, crime and wretched
ness.
“Mind is the Master power that moulds
and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore ho
takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what
he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thous
and ills:—
He thinks in secret, and it comes to
pass:
Environment is but his looking glass."
—James Allen.
The reformers are continually look
ing forward to that Utopian age when
there is no sin—sin as a crime against
society. And the reformer attempts to
remedy the faults of men. Hut the
splendid panacea lie* in the grasp of
him who would cleanse his own mind.
In the executive committee's decision
to disallow the University hand’s request
for uniforms there was nothing but the
most friendly spirit for that organiza
tion. It was not a mere matter of tem
porary economy that influenced the de
cision, although the $450 that would have
been required is no little sum yet it
would have been expended most readily
were it not for the fact that compul
sory military drill will enter the Uni
versity next year and the hand will then
be uniformed iu regular military style.
Reservations have been telegraphed
from the University of Washington for
800 seats for rooters for the Home
coming Hay game on the campus No
vember 4th. That will he a day when
the purple and gold and the lemon and
yellow will harmonise in good fellowship.
Congratulations on your splendid spirit,
Washington!
Plans and arrangements are being
made for the accommodation of ten
thousand people on the University cam
pus Homecoming Day November 4th.
That will be the day the University will
be the metropolis of the state.
**I am much interested in the growth
®f political clubs within the universi
ties, not ss partisan organisations, but
as associations of men and women com
petent to weigdi the issues of the day
and of the future of democracy, while
they themselves are becoming increasing
ly fitted for wise counsel and action.”—
David Starr Jordan.
The Emerald’s all-University election
tomorrow will be of interest not alone
from the partisan standpoint but as
showing the interest being taken this
year by students in national issues. It
is for thi. reason the Emerald has not
urged voting. The Emerald wishes to !
see just how serious the students of
Oregon are.

A Tribute.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 21, 1916.
Editor, Oregon Emerald:
It was with a great deal of pleasure
amjxenthusiasm that I watched today’s
game between Oregon and California.
Not having been able to attend an Ore
gon game for four years, 1 can truth
fully say that I have been eagerly an
ticipating this conflict since I saw it
first scheduled last fall. And now that
it is over, and “everybody’s happy,” I
am writing you that you may speak a
word of praise and appreciation of the
work of one who made the rooting sec
tion of Oregon possible. It was Ernie
Vosper.
As you know, Vosper has been a stu
dent of U. C. for over a year, but, in
this game at least, his loyalty to old
Oregon was unquestionable. First, he
obtained permission from the manager,
at the risk of incurring the disfavor of
the California students, to rope off re
served seats in the center of the grand
stand for Oregon supporters. He then
got word to all Oregonians that he could,
ever sendingout printed postals stating
where we were to get together. When
we arrived at the grandstand, Oregon
pennants marked our place and there we
met many old-grads and ex-students we
probably would never have seen had
we been scattered throughout the big
crowd.
Ernie, himself, had charge of the sec
tion and acted os yell leader,—a dandy
good one he made, too. He jollied the
bunch along, told us the team needed us,
and when it ciime to “Osky-Wow-Wow”
I think we made almost as much noise as
California and its band. I was never
in a -crowd where there was more en
thusiasm or where a finer feeling of fel
lowship was manifested. It shows that
the Oregon spirit is some thing real.
Those or! us who are now so hoarse
we can scarcely speak above a whisper,
have Ernie Vosper to thank for the
privilege of getting together nnd rooting
for our team again. I think the stu
dents in Eugene should know something
of his loyalty.
Yours truly,
DAVID L. McDANIEL, ’12.
GIRL CANOEISTS CAPABLE
“First Class I Have Ever Trusted Out
Alone”—Miss Thomson.
The present class in cagoeing is ma
king progress, due to the good weather
which has enabled it to meet each class
hour.
“It is the first class which I have ever
trusted out alone,” said Miss Thomson,
who has charge of the work in canoeing.
“As a rule there is some member of the
class who is not capable of taking care
of herself by the end of the course, but
this year I do not worry about any of
them.”

GIRLS PLAN CAMPAIGN
Hughes-ites to Go With Delegation of
Republicans to Coburg and Elmira.
The women’s auxiliary of the Hughes
club is planning a live campaign for the
short time that remains before election,
according to Adrienne Epping, campaign
manager.
“We are planning on a trip to Coburg
and Elmira soon,” she said, “to be taken
in autos with the delegation from the
Republican Eane County association. But
as there will only be room "for a few, a
chorus will be chosen from the members
of the club, and four or five girls who
can play ukuleles will go along with
them.”
Miss Epping received a letter from
Harriet E. Vittum, director of the wo
men’s department of the republican na
tional committee in Chicago saying that
she would be glad to co-operate with the
Hughes club here in any way possible,
and that she would send literature and
speakers if needed. She also asked to
be kept informed as to the progress of
the club work.
“We also are trying to arrange for a
Hughes picture to be shown in Eugene
soon, and if we succeed there will be an
afternoon matinee when the whole club
will turn out,” said Miss Epping.

There is nothing in Miss Munson’s

the sensibilities of even the most puri

The posing of Miss Munson as

the plot and action serve to make the
poses acquire a real significance and
to give them adequate dramatic set
