A. SHERE, Representative 425 Washington St., Portland, Ore. Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Electric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The hright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction ol ti brilliant , Klcctricully lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass band. Is your competitor with the Electrically illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcctric Sign getting nu advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the tiulighted candlel Up-to-date scores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain oien after dark or not. Cnmictttloii forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric light will make many a sale "the night before." Klcctric light cotiiicls attention, makes eisy the examination of your display, siiows goods in detail ami fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning your name in the public mind. It is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.

Aore University AUtttcr. (Continued from first page.) education in Oregon over to the meat packers' trust as soon as its Portland plant is completed? Their motto is "no higher education ex cept for those who can pay for it." Let the rich have a monopoly of college education, and the poor man do without. Let the rich fur nish all the judges and lawyers and legislators, and leave the interests of the iwople in their hands. Shall we stand for it, or will the people of Oregon support a iiniver sity where the sous of the plain iK-opie can get an education just as good as young Rockefeller got at llrown? This country has turned its resources and business oppop (unities over to the few with hardly a murmur. Will it turn its educa tion over to them, too? Will it adopt the theory that all a poor man needs is education enough to read what the trusts think best to print for linn? Oregon will, if Eugene Palmer and Cyrus Walker can persuade it. Hut who is put ting up the money for their cam paign ? The editor of the Kugcue Guard has touched the keynote in the above editorial in that up to date paiK-r. Not satisfied with exploit ing the markets, Coal Oil Johnnie and his coteries are gobbling up the universities and other principal seats of learning, where the prin ciples of plutocracy may be em bodied in the education of the young. It is up to the people to keep our boys and girls out of their hands and to provide liber ally for the state university that it may be competent to care for the education of the farmer's sons, the sons of the mechanic and labor ing man; that they may be taught to respect labor,- revere the princi ples of government instituted by the fathers. In this way may we hope to control the trusts, for by this method we can prepare our young men for the legislative halls imbued with principles which will uphold a government of the people for the people and by the people. Vote for the university appropria tion and a strong support of your state university. Do not vote to kill the university, which means to vote to send our boys to the Rocke feller, Carnegie, Stanford or other trust supported educational institu tions to have them trained up into tools for the trusts and make more difficult the hard fight for equal justice between the plutocrat and the common people. Where Did you Get that Hat? My scat I Where did she get that hat? Who ever did Invent u lady's lid Like that? Who had the nerve to roll it out And stretch it more and more, From centerpiece to rim, until It spreads from shore to shore, And likewise lifts its summit up, On birds and other wings, Above the earth Until it scrapes The clouds and other things? Who added to the wondrous width Of brim, so that the space Could easily accommodate An automobile race? Say, who done that? Who built her hat? Who made it something never seen On earth or in the sky. A flat of wide extended plain. A mountain towering high? Cut wider doors for her to get Inside of any place, And put the ceiling on the roof To give her nodding space. Push up the clouds to let her stand hrcct upon the ground, And shove the wide horizon back To let her turn around. Oh, weirdly, witching, woozy hat That flattens out and towers Who ever saw a thing like that A pancake piled with flowers? A hat contagious spreading? Yes I hat names the Merry wiu.; And she who fails to catch it Should slip out and change her lid Gee whiz! What a wonder woman isl And my scat I Where DID she get that hat? "Awl come off," she smiling said "you rogue, I bought my lid from Stuckcr at The Vogue." Communicated. Editor Review: Upon what the ory of government is the ordinance based requiring building permits outside the fire limits in bt. Johns at a cost of f 1. As the law now stands a poor matt buys a lot 011 the installment plan and erects two-room house because he cannot afford to build larger; building per in It $. Next year he is able to put a porch in front, building per mit;?!. Now what docs the city give him for these dollars he has been compelled to hand out. Noth ing. Absolutely nothing. It is not a tax because the state const! tutiou requires all taxes to beequit able, but It costs just as much to gut n permit to build a 50 shack as a $10,000 mansion. It is not license like a saloon or drayman's license because it does not give you a monopoly of the business, aud chance to form a trust. Taxes are supposed to be levied for the sup port of government, for the protec tiou of life and property. Docs that It building permit afford you any protection ? Not that anybody can point out. Now, the remedy. the man that kicks without being able to offer a remedy has 110 standing in court. First repeal the preseut ordinance. A permit to do a tiling always implies a restriction, there fore pass an ordinance prohibiting the erection of fire traps in any part of the city and let the permit to build carry witli it an inspection of Hues, prescribing of what ma tenal and how the flue shall be constructed, as a protection against lire. As matters now stand there is nothing to prevent the erection of any kind of building (except in fire limits) with a stove pipe run niug out through the roof or side wall, right beside some other mail's house worth oue hundred titties its much, endangering his property by fire. I think this It charge for building permit, under the preseut ordinance, is the cause of more cussing" than any other law up on the books. I have had occasion to take out building permits for several parties during the last year, and in everv case there has been a kick made, aud when asked what benefit they were to receive for the It I was forced to either lie to them or answer none, and then you ought to hear them swear. They would cuss everybody from the president down to the real estate agent that sold them the lot. The t he whole cost of a building penult and inspection of flues iu an ordi nary building cau be covered by $1. The permits should only cost the city the paper ou which they are writteu. (We have a utau that has undertaken to do the clerical work for the city for $100 per mouth) and I think the chief of police would inspect the flues in any buildiug in towu for the other 9S cettts. Yours truly, S. C. Cook. To Bickuer's hall for the pie miss faced sisters, May 12. Don't this or you. will regret it. TREASURER'S REPORT.
