The people of Oregon are rousing
up to the fact that to strike at the
State university Is to wound the state
In a vital spot and Inflict an injury
from which It will take years to re
cover. Nothing would give Oregon a
blacker eye with Intending homeseek
ers alt over the union than for the
voters to say they are opposed to high
er education. If people who live In
Oregon, or come to this state, have
to send their sons and daughters to
outside universities In order to give
(hem a complete education, they will
be disposed to move to the states
where such means of education are
Upheld with pride by the people. To
carry the referendum against the
State university will be the beginning
of a general , movement against all
forms of advanced education finally
resulting In elimination of all but pub
lic schools. If Oregon should become
(ha only state In the union without a
state university, it would be the one
tate held up to scorn by the whole
C(v)l!xed world as the spot on the Pa
Cllo coast to stay away from as they
would evade a land infested with the
plague. Eugene Register.
Among the referendum bills that
will come before the people this spring
will be one that deals with the appro
priation for the State university at
Eugene, and unless the signs are mis
leading It will be approved by an over
whelming majority, and It la up to
astern Oregon to do Its part in this
matter. A state that strangles Its edu
cational Institutions Is a good one
(o get out of, and Oregon does not pro
pose to be in this class. Union Re
publican. Government statisticians have col
lected figures which show that dur
ing the 25 years from 1881 to 1905
there were 3,67 strikes and 1548

labor disturbances Involved 199,945

HUH STOMACH HAS

Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong

An Interesting Interview was re
cently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi
cines have created such a sensation
during the past year.
Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: "My medi
cine regulates the stomach. That Is
why it is successful. The human Btom
ach today bas become degenerate, and
la the cause for most ill health. In
tne none, the dog, and the wild an!
mala generally, you see no nerve ex
hatutlon. no chronic dohtlltv Tliav
are not shut up day after day with
pracucaiiy no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to Justify It The human race
has been doing this for years, and

the new medicine! "Tor orer seven
years I suffered with catarrh of the
stomach, and for the past year I was
lame with rheumatism. I attributed
this to my stomach trouble, as my cir
culation was very poor. What food I
ate would turn to gas almost at once.
I would have a sensation of bloating,
and would have to belch frequently
to relieve this. My heart also became
affected, and I would suddenly become
dizzy and have palpitations. I was
tired and dull and despondent at all
times. I InBt ft ffmot riodl nt flaoti in4

on for over seven years, although I
spent hundreds of dollars trying to
get relief.
"When Cooper wag In Boston I
heard a good deal about his Ideas on
stomach trouble. Next, one or two
friends told me thU his medicines bad
greatly helped them. I purchased
some of the New Discovery medicine.
