Entered In Oregon City Postoffice as Second-Class Mall. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. Six months Palu in advance, per year $1 61 THE STATE UNIVERSITY The report of the president of the Board of Regents shows that the in come of the State University of Ore gon will exceed $59,000 this year by only a few dollars. This sum Is pitl ful. It is not enough to pay the sal arles of the professors and keep th machinery of the institution running, In fact, though the teachers have served some three months virtually without salary, there will be a deficit of $15,000 this year unless some better provision is made. The president of the board recommends that all con tracts be made terminal with the cur rent year, which conveys something like an institution of dissolution. The plain truth is that it would be much more to the credit of the state to discontinue the university than to support It upon a baHis of continual Starvation. Either a state university is desirable or It is not. If it Is not desirable, let it be abandoned and the funds annlled to some more useful nnrnose. If it is desirable, then It nough to be efficient and to meet it Increasing needs. Other states hav found, without exception, that a state university is an Investment which nays from every point of view. Mich igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, refuse nothing that their great universities ask (for in the way of support, anj nobody complains. It is believed In our most progressive states that the higher education is Just as essen tial to the welfare of a community as the primary schools. Experience shows that primary education seldom flourishes unless it is Inspired and stimulated from above. Unless we support our state univer sity, Oregon must depend for higher education unon the meagre dole of charitable millionaires A self-re specting commonwealth, like a self- respecting Individual, prefers to pro vide for its own wants instead of de pending upon donations. Moreover, it Is better that there should be one advanced institution In every state which depends upon the great demo cratic public for support. Such an institution will teach economics, poli tics, history and social science with a very different trend from that which prevail under the Influence of Stand ard Oil. The perpetuity of free insti tutions depends upon the Intelligence of the people. As we become more democratic we must become more in telllgent. of shipwreck is not far off. Oregon Is one of the states which is traveling swiftly toward pure democ racy. Unless she travels fully as swiftly toward knowledge and wis dom her democracy will end In bank rtmtcy. On the perilous sea where we have chosen to voyage it would be Insane to discard chart and com pass; but that is precisely what we should do were we to hamper the higher education. The people of this c state need all the lessons that the ex perience of mankind can tench. They should take the state university to their affections. They should foster and cherish It. It will return in wise counsel, guidance and leadership far more than the value which it can possibly receive. Between the state university and the people there should be Intimate sympathy, hearty co-oper ation, thorough understanding, The suspicion should be put away that there Is anything aristocratic In the higher education. It is the most democratic tiling In the world. Ignor ance Is the friend of priestcraft, des potism, oppression. The pure intel lect is now, as it has always been, the friend and savior of tho common man. Prometheus still brings fire from heaven nnd kindles the hearth in every cottage from It. Oregonlan. INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM MEASURES. At the coming June election voters will be required to pass upon the mer its of numerous legislative moaHiires and amendments to the Constitution. The Initiative and Referendum bring with them new dutlos and new bur dens of citizenship. The new Bystem as at heory soemed good to us, and after witnessing the practical working of the measures we will form our final and best opinion of the Innova tion. It Is the duty of the press of the State to discuss these measures. Such as are unworthy will bo defeated if their lack of merit or Justice is fully threshed out before the people. Should they be passed up to a vote without opposition or public remon Btranco, no matter how lacking in merit, they are very liable to pass on occount of the disposition of most men to vote in the affirmative on Is suos which they have not Investigated and on which they have really formed no opinion. Every voter should adopt and stick to one rule; namely, if not satisfied in your own mind, after care ful Investigation, that a measure will actually accomplish good results and Is right and Just, vote against it. We have always suffered more from ex cess of legislation than from lack of It. There is no more reason in experi menting with new legislation when thore is no popular demand for It than thore is In experimenting with glasses when the eyesight is faultless. Either is taking a great nnd unneces sary risk. Speaking of tho Initiative measures When the HairFalls Stop it! And why not? Fall ing hair is a disease, a regular disease; and Ayer's I lair Vigor, as made from our new im proved formula, quickly and completely destroys that dis ease. I he nair stops tailing out, grows more rapidly, and all dandruff disappears. . Does not change the color of the hair.

There is no way to positively ascertain bow many families In the United States rely npon Pernna for the many cllmatio ailments to which the family Is subject, The number must be a great one. Sever al millions perhaps. They have learned bow to use Peruna for ordinary ail ments, and In that way are guarding their homes against more serious dis eases. Such ailments as eonghs and oolds, ore throat and catarrh, cronp and colio, Indigestion and loss of appetite, anemia and nervonsness, all these ailments are promptly relieved by a few doses of Peruna at the right time. Millions of prorldent mothers and fathers are guarding the interests of tho home by using Dr. XIartman's groat romody, and profiting by his medical booklets and personal advice. m Reeves Myrtle- Catarrhal Croup. Few people realize how frequently croup is causod hy catarrhal corcjoslion of the throat. Prohatily nine cases out of ten of croup is of tho catarrhal variety. The medical profession recognizes throe forms of croup. Tho spasmodic va rioty, membranous croup and catarrhal croup. Nearly every case is of the catarrhal va riety, and a few dosos of Peruna taken at the first appouranco of tho catarrhal symptoms is generally sufficient to avert tho attack of croup al together. Croup is a frightful disease, No dii easo of children so alariSs tho household. George- & JiEALTHYfAIMILY w Catarrh of Stomach. Kept the Children Well. Mrs, K, Kane, 196 Sebor St., Flat 1, Chicago, III,, writesi "Peruna has been used so long in our family that I do not know how I could get alonff without it. "I have given it to all of my five children at different times when they suffered with croup, colds and the many ailments that children are subject to, and am pleased to say that it has kept them in splen did health. "I have also used it for a catarrhal difficulty of long standing, and it cured me in a short time, so I have every reason to praise Peruna." It is impossible to estimate how many homes have been protected against croup by tho proper use of Peruna. Household Remedies. There U no remedy in the world which has proven so popular for catarrh as Peruna, It has boon used for more than thirty years and cured thoupuuds of cases, as proven by our testimonials. In the oarly history of this country evory family lin:l 1U home-made modl cines. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics woro to lie found in almost every housio, comijouudod by tho houscwifo, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or tho family doctor. Furnishing medical compounds direct to tho people,, through the druggists, is simply tho extension of the practice be gun by t he i ..lo themselves. Mcrio; s System a Wreck. John G.

"When I commenced using Peruna, I weighed only 110 pounds. I took six bottles, commencing in the spring, and by the following winter I had gained 63 pounds. "I owe it all to Peruna. It cannot be praised too highly. "I am forty-five years old, and my occupation is that of architect and builder." remained without strength. "I then tried Peruna, and after using it for three months was totally well. I am seventy-one years old, and my work on the railroad is hard and tedious, but I can work like a young man in ail kinds of weather, heat, cold, rain, snow or storm alike 'Peruna is tho purest and best medi cine, and if used according to directions, it will help any person and cure any dis ease for which it is recommended. I rec ommend tills medicine by my own ex perience to any one suffering from an ailment onthe, order of mine." For herself and Children. Mrs. Alino PePaseo, 776 E. lC5th St., New York, N. Y., writes : "It gives me pleasure to testify to the curativequaliticsof Peruna and Manalln. "I was afflicted for over seven years with catarrh of the bead, throat and digestive organs. I consulted many, physicians, but they did me no good. "One day I happened to read some tea tlmonials In your Peruna almanac I decided to try Peruna and Manalln. I bonght a bottle of eaoh and after taking them for a week, I noticed a change for the better. So I kept it up and after us ing twelve bottles I was perfectly cured, "I also gave the medicine to my child ren and they had the same beneficial re suit. I wonld never be without theee remedies in the honse. "I highly recommend Peruna and Manalln to all my friends, and, In fact, to everybody." - Thousands of families have learned to trust and believe la Sr.Hartman's Jndg ment, and to rely on hi. remedy, Parana. Ask yotff druggist for Perana Almanac for 1 908 that aro to come before the people In general, it is noticeable that mnny of them, probably a largo majority of thorn, are backed by private- interests or personal ambition, it should ue remembered that what a private lndl vidua gains In the way of legislation secured at his own expense and 'effort s usniilly secured at the ultimate ex pense of the public. There will be difference of opinion regarding every one of these meas ures. Let us keep our minds open to argument and reason, and after ma ture deliberation dispose of each Issue according to its merits. The fact that a coterie of politicians have assumed the nnmo of PEOPLE'S POWER LEAGUE doos not constitute this organization the people's "House of Representatives." The people, In this country, have a Bort of notion that they should have something to say In the selection of their represen tatives. Unbridled personal ambition iuh always! made Its way to power in the nnmo of the people. What sins have been committed, what tyrannies ave flourished in his name. A fruit cannery at ' Oregon City means a groat deal to tho town and to rlbutary sections. Good luck to those ho have Interested themselves in an ffort to secure the enterprise. A big paper mill employing several hundred men and a cannery supporting many families would mark a great step for ward In tho city's growth. These ac quisitions would not be a bnd record for the year 1908. There Is being an awful row stirred p about protecting tho composers from tho music machine makers, but not a word about protecting the pub lic from them. Harry Thaw must bo sorry thnt his second trial la not coming off in Vir ginia where they do not have to put tu an Insanity defense and muss up the family record. This idea of a Chinese army of 5,- 000,000 men Is all right except that u Chinese nrmy of thnt size could never get together without having an Insur- ection among themselves. The time has come when the corpo rations must benr up with fortitude against tho anti-campalgu contribu tion laws. B. B. Shearer. D. D. Shearer, of Clackamas, died at his home Thursday after a brief Ill ness. The deceased came to Oregon from Dakota about six years ago with his wife and made Clackamas his home.
