Schools may be consolidated; economies must be made. New prison doors must be installed. Flax straw length has been changed. “Now I'm on the spot,” says Hal Hoss. The governor’s chauffeur gets free hair-cuts. Tom Kay is boohed and hissed, says the Telegram. It's a five-ring circus at Salem as far as the average reader is concerned. He sees a lion-tamer cracking his whip in a center ring; he sees clowns performing on the track; he sees daring tight-rope walking; living projectiles are shot from com mission cannons; and snarling tigers bare their teeth. One thousand star performers—count them -one thousand; ' and side-shows galore! But out of this maze of readjustment and reorganization of the state government there comes one clear principle the fight of Governor Meier to direct state ad ministration, and to subordinate other officials. The five-ring political circus, amusing as some of its sidelghts have become, is important. For in reality the question for the state of Oregon is now transcending political platforms or personalities, or even repair of alleged corrupt state machinery. That question Is whether or not Oregon government is to he directed by one man responsible to the people and appointing his own aides to carry out his policies, or whether there shall still remain some division of responsibility and policy. The queston is being decided in one instance in the present conflict of the governor with the board of control. The outcome will to a large extent determine the resistance of other elected officers to the governor’s wishes. It will not show, however, the attitude of the people of the state. And that is something difficult to determine. While the state legislature pleased the voters by bowing to the "mandate of the people,” it is also to he remembered that the people overwhelmingly defeated a pro posed cabinet form of government. That system woidd have made the governor the strongest executive of all. Meanwhile things move in Salem, and they all have meaning. The fanfare of drums and the cries of peanut-vendors are awakening in the people an interest in their state government. And a governor who believes in doing things has done the awakening. Radio Making Inroads OINCE the first American newspaper was established in 1090, ^ the struggle of the press to maintain its position of leader ship as a conveyor of news and opinion has been marked by many bitter fights. That another fight is looming is the opinion of Elzey Roberts, publisher of the St. Louis Star, who stated in a report to the A. N. P. A., publishers’ association, yesterday that the radio was furnishing serious competition. Not only is the radio making vast inroads on the revenue of the nation’s newspapers, but American publishers are "as short-sighted in recognizing this radio competition as the rail road men were in recognizing bus and truck competition ten years ago," said Mr. Roberts. To substantiate this statement he quoted figures showing that for the first three months of 1931 radio advertising has increased to more than half the total sum spent in newspaper advertising during the same period. The press has truly been long in recognizing that the radio is a competitor. Some of the more far-sighted and larger news papers have met the competition by connecting with radio sta tions. Others have sought to fight back by refusing to give radio programs space in their columns, How the newspaper will meet the competition is hard to pre dict. The tremendous increase in radio advertising, especially since it comes during a period of depression, makes the radio a competitor not to be ignored. To refuse to record radio news in the columns of a paper has as much effect on the paper as on the radio, for radio events arc news to a large majority. There must be a place in the sun for both the radio and newspaper. The radio lias its chiei value in furnishing enter tainment, and the newspaper in the conveying of news. Both depend upon advertising for their support. It is as advertising media that the two arc now competitors, and not us dissemina tors of news or entertainment. But it is probable that the balance will be broken; competition may develop on new lines. in accordance with the school economy program, the L'm versity is saving gardener expenses by allowing the wind to prune the campus trees. licit s for the icvival of that old term, Not . 0 du.ly.

WHICH PROVES THAT NA TURE IS LIKE A COLLEGE MAN. IT LIKES TO PLAY. ADVENTURE STORY Several years ago (or maybe it was weeks) there lived in a little town in Oregon a noble child of fortune who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth and gold fillings in his teeth. This child, so history claims, was known to all men and several women also as Getcher You-Doll. When he was very young, just a child, that is to say before he graduated from the university, there came to his ear strange tales of Pacific island savages who lived on a little is land out in the ocean. Well, little Getcher was con sumed by a burning desire to go to these people and to civilize them so that they might establish a democracy and help keep the world safe for the marines. He in tended to astound those backward people by taking into their midst a remarkable invention which he had thought up all by himself. This invention was a cute little device by which students were en abled to separate their notebooks into various compartments and thus enable them to keep from get ting their dates all mixed up. Well, as the story goes, little Getch set out on a raft ohe day, equipped with two sandwiches, a radio, a phonograph, 3 new suits of clothes, a stove, a derby, a hand kerchief, and an orange. (He had always heard about shipwrecked people having oranges with them when they were being tossed about on the ocean.) One day, many weeks later, lit tle Geteli hove in sight of land, and sure enough it was one of the Mayonnaise islands, which are lo cated several miles south of the Sandwich islands. Several people were waiting on the shore, and these Getchy surmised to be the savages whom he had come such a long, long way to see. The chief or at least he appeared to be the chief, because he was wearing a pair of spats waved his arm to the voyager, and then burst into the Stein song. Getchy knew that lie was wel come, so he hurriedly rowed ashore and was presented with a life's membership in the local Rotary club. He was somewhat disap pointed to find that the Oregon Daily Kmerald had printed a mis leading statement as to the time jP.— —— —<—--s Nestle Circuline Ringlet Permanent VV aves $7.50 and $5.00 Complete f7..’>0 waves give you a shampoo amt finger wave service.

How ever, Getch saw that there was e lot of work to be done on the is land, so he immediately plungec into the problem of civilizing th< savages. It was quite a job, but he eventually taught them that, if they must fry missionaries, to first ascertain whether they were re publicans or democrats and then 1 to let the democrats go. This was j one of the most helpful things that | Getchy did for the cause of hu | inanity while he was in the May onnaise islands. He spent many years there, but his further adven tures must be related at some oth er time, for time presses and the story’s getting worse as we go along. * * * NOW THAT WE’VE HAD A BEST DRESSED MAN CONTEST, AND ARE GOING TO HAVE A MAN'S BEAUTY PARADE, WE SUGGEST THAT ALB MEN'S LIVING ORGANIZATIONS ON THE CAMPUS HIRE HOUSE MOTHERS IMMEDIATELY. * * * “Will you step into my parlor,” Said the Phi Mu to the Chi Psi, “I’m hunting for a blind date And you’re to lie the guy.” KNOWLEDGE, EFFORT USEp IN HAND WORK — (Continued from Page One) stones. And in the Hale exhibit in the Little Gallery will be found more than 50 kinds of precious stones, from diamonds to glass in the form of enamel; from tur quoise to blue onyx. Intaglio rings and Japanese carved stones j are there, too. “What is art?” the Emerald re j porter asked Hale. “There are many definitions which fit my conception of art,” he answered. "I see art as the [ permanent expression of the craftsman’s ideal of beauty. I see art as the expression of the crafts man's love of his work. “But I cannot see art as in any sense being the product of a ma chine, no matter how beautiful the design on which the machine works. No machine can think. "And my conception of art re quires that the creator of art, the man who expresses beauty in the things he makes, must think It is the work of his hands and his brain that give value and beauty to the article he makes.

The products of the machine have not the quality of the products of human hands. They are not art. “When a Pilgrim, or a Forty niner, or an Oregon Trail pioneer made a chair, or a bed, or a dress er, he followed a standard pattern. But. to that pattern he added cer tain touches which he thought would make the chair or bed or table more beautiful. Into the fur niture of his backwoods home he '. put the loving labor which is dis tinctive of all beautiful things. “But the machine can only turn out the same pattern, ad nauseum. Never any variation, never any im provement, never any little touch of intelligence, or love, or pride in the work. “The modern craftsman can make better designs on which the quantity production product may be based; the craftsman can make a better job in the world for him self if he is properly trained. But the apprentice system has almost disappeared. No longer do young men learn their crafts. “When intelligent plans and the pride of handiwork are built into the things we use, then only will they be beautiful. “The machine-made linen of to day—will the young women treas ure it as their grandmothers did? Will they pass it down to their ! daughters, as their grandmothers did ? They'll be lucky if their linen lasts them out the year! “America with all her wealth, should be willing to take the lead in the creation of beautiful things. But she cannot until she has learned the dignity, the necessity, of intelligent craftsmanship. The expression of the creator’s ideal of beauty in his chosen medium, be it cavas and oil, clay, thread, reed, or metal and precious stones, if it be the loving work of a man, proud in the skill of his hands,—that is art.” Hale was the first dean of the Jewelers’ Guild of Boston, and in 1909 was vice-president of the Bos ton Society of Arts and Crafts. His work in metal craft has won him many honors, including the gold medal of the San Diego exhi bition, and two Boston arts and crafts society medals.
