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.

al millions perhaps. They have learned
bow to use Peruna for ordinary ail

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

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.

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

I took six bottles, commencing in the spring, and by the following

"It gives me pleasure to testify to the

"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

decided to try Peruna and Manalln. I

them for a week, I noticed a change for

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

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

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.

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

B. B. Shearer.
D. D. Shearer, of Clackamas, died
at his home Thursday after a brief Ill
ness. The deceased came to Oregon

his wife and made Clackamas his
home. Mr. Shearer was about 50
ears of age and leaves a widow and
two brothers, both of Clackamas, tp
mourn his loss. He was a member
the Modern Woodmen, who had
hnrge of the services at the ceme
tery. The funeral took place at the
Congregational church at Clackamas
