WOULD GIVE OREGON BLACK EYE
A correspondent writes to the Al
bany Democrat, partisan of the refer
endum on the university appropriation
and calls attention to the effect ad
verse action on education in Oregon
will have on the immigration pouring
into the northwest. California gives
$$00,000 to Its state university, Wash
ington $400,000 to its state university,
whilo Oregon Is begrudging $125,000.
Those homeseckers are coming from
states where money is not stinted In
support of higher education; where
they know that state universities of
fer the boys and girls of poor fami
lies almost their only opportunity for
higher education because the tuition
la free and there are work depart
ments by which the hustling student
may earn enough to pay his board and
other living expenses.
Those homeseekers also know there
la nothing In the apology given by
some of the referendum supporters
that they are not opposed to taxation
for education but want the money
spent on district schools. They know
that the passage of the university ap
propriation means not a cent less for
common schools, and its defeat means
not a cent more for common schools.
People from the Central West,
where most of the immigration is
from, will avoid a state that opposes
education. The first question the In
telligent homeseeker asks is about
schools.
The singling out of an educational
appropriation for a referendum from
all the bills passed by the last legis
lature, will give Oregon a bad name
and divert thousands of settlers from
this state to Washington and Califor
nia, BEES BREAK THE LAW.
It Is sadly discouraging that after
all the trouble Secretary of Agricul
ture Wilson and Dr. Wiley, chief chem
ist and food expert of the department,
have taken In getting a pure food law
passed, that they should be confront
ed with natural obstacles that even
the majesty of the Department can
not overawe, and that can hardly be
hauled into court and prosecuted. It
has ail arisen from the perversity of
the bees in Hawaii, and the chief et
omologist, Dr. Van Dine of the experi
ment station, Is now on his way
to Washington to consult about it
When the pure food law was passed,
certain standards of purity were set
up that might not be transgressed.
One of these dealt with the amount of
glucose In pure honey.. But Dr. Van
Dine has discovered that Hawaiian
bees make honey with more glucose
in it than is allowed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and he is now
on his way to Washington to get the
matter straightened out. Honey is
an important export from he islands,
and as there seems no way of re
forming the depraved Hawaiian bees,
it looks as though the standard of the
Department would have to be changed.
Of course. Nature was wrong and Sec
retary Wilson was right about pure
food, but as there is no way of get
ting at Nature, It looks as though the
Secretary would have to reverse hlm
Belf. Postmaster General Von Myer, the
latest addition to the cabinet, starts
work with much needed reform in his
department. He announced quietly,
but firmly, to m suoordinates that

OREGON CITY,
he did not rare about the title of
"General" being tacked onto his
name as has been done with all of his
predecessors In office. Plain Mr,
Myer was good enough for him. and
he thought the numerous other "Gen
erals" or the IVpartment had better
adopt civil designations also. This
is a small matter, but it lops off a lit
tle governmental flubdub that was
rather annoying to plain people who
had to do business with the postotllee.
It indicates also that the public is
likely to get a plain business like ad
ministration from a plain business
man.
An Oregon City minister advised,
Sunday night, his hearers to procure
a copy of Farkman's Oregon Trails.
That was good advice. There are also
hundreds of other historical works
that young and old should read and
many wish to read, but are not able
to buy. for such books are costly and
to purchase just the cream of the best 4
works on history means the expendi
ture of hundreds of dollars. The
young men and women of most other
towns of this size have access to the
best literature in public libraries.

Mt. Pleasant residents have dono
wisely in organizing an Improvement
club. Clean stteets and alleys, neat
yards with plenty of flowers attract
more home buyers than clouds of hot
air. Then, too, improvement clubs
don't stop at cleanlng up; they build
up. Vide Oak Grove Improvement as
sociation. Mt. Pleasant Is now one of
the prettiest of Oregon City's sub
urb's and the new club has In Its pow
er not only to add to the attractive
ness but to the prosperity and growth
of that community.
The Galveston plan, or rather the
Iowa adoption of the Galveston plan
of municipal government does not
classify strictly as either federal or
board government. though near
enough the former to be Included by
most writers on the subject as a
modification of the federal plan. The
outline of It given in last night's Star
is worthy of careful local study, even
if the Iowa legislators seemed to
think it was suitable only for cities
above 23.000 population.
The Beaver Creek-Molalla electric
road Is no dream or impossible pro
ject. It does not depend for its practi
cal start on the favor of eastern capi
talists. If the1 people of Oregon City
and along the proposed right of way,
want the road it will be built. There
Is not the slightet doubt of that
Presuming the families of Odd Fel
lows average in size with those of
the country as a whole, the popula
tion represented by the 1,700,000 mem
bers of that order exceeds 8,000,000
or 1G times as many people as are In
Oregon.
Harrlman would rather go to jail,
he says, than to the poor house. He
seems likely to break into the former
by trying to keep out of the latter.
He also may learn someday that in
mates of either were not given their
choice.
The Colorado chap who was jailed
for salting a $30,000 gold mine, was
a piker and the law is hard on crimi
nals who are pikers. If he had stol
en a transcontinental railway, he
would be hailed as king of finance.
The simplified spelling board re
ports over one hundred thousand peo
ple now using simplified spelling, but
it neglects to add that no two of them
are using It alike.
The Beaver State Herald Is advis
ing the people of Gresham and sur
rounding school districts to follow the
example of Oregon City and suburbs
and start petitions for a union high
school. There are eight or ten dis
tricts so situated that a high school
in Gresham would be convenient for
all of them.

GOVERNOR
HUGHES
TO BE COUNTED
ON.
Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of
the Louisville Courier-Journal, arriv
ed In New York recently from Europe,
! where he had made an extended visit,
j Colonel Watterson said that WU-
Ham J. Bryan seemed to bo the only
,man In the running for the Democratic
nomination for President. "Mr. Bryan
is an Individual man with a certalu
following," he said.
"He Is not a law giver. He may be
law unto himself. It remains to be
sH-n If the fragments of the Demo
cratic party lying around loose can be
united In a new program.
"I think that organized Democracy
at the present time can see no other
alternative except Bryan. Nobody is
being seriously considered except him.
I sometimes doubt whether he him
stdf cares a fig for the Presidency. For
I should think. If he believed Democ
racy had a reasonable chance of car
rying the country and that ho might
be nominated, ho would be moro cir
cumspect and would show a greater
sense of responsibility than he seems
to be showing.
'I do not believe President Roose
velt wants a third term for himself.
I know he recently stated that If the
convention nominated him and ad
journed It would have to reconvene,
as he would never accept another nom
ination. I am willing to take him at
his word."
Colonel Watterson declared that
Governor Hughes was a force to be
reckoned with in Republican politics.
"I predicted last June," ho said.
that Hughes would succeed Roose
velt In the White House. At that time
Horace W hite, Mr. Hughes and I were
at Brown University, where the de
gree of LL. D. was conferred on each,
and I told Hughes that, while somo
Republicans might not like him, they
would have to select him. He, I be
lieve, will be to the Republican party
what Tllden was to the Democratic.
I have In my pocket a ticket In the
Paris Mutuals College for 100 to 1
that Hughes will be the next Presi
dent of the United States."

Gem High Efficiency
Electric Lamp.
This new line of high candle-power lamps signalizes
an important development in the me of electric light, and
marks a notable advance in the betterment of Illumina
tion.' The actual gain is 20 per cent better efficiency
than is at present obtained from the highest efficiency
incandescent lamps.

High Efficiency Lamp with Distributing; Holophane Reflector.
Appreciating the great gain in lighting secured by
the use of proper reflectors, there has been designed for
use with the new lamps a special line of Holophane
Pagoda shades, which, when used with the new lamps
form a brilliant and highly effective lighting combination.
Two kinds of reflectors are provided, the distributing
or "D" form which is shown above, and which is recom
mended where wide areas are to be illuminated, and the
concentrating or form of reflector which is admirably
adapted for use in show-window lighting or wherever a
'concentration of light Is desirable.
The GEM lamp with its Holophane Glass reflector
forms a brillant lighting combination and merits the at
tention of store keepers and all those interested in the
improvement of lighting facilities,
