orlrk G. Younu, head of the department
of economics, addressed tho student-body
Jant week on "What's the University For,
Anyhow?"
He traced the part various Institutions
have played) in the development of civ
ilization, dwelling especially on the ,uni
veraity as an instrument of culture and
factor of development in the National life
of this country. He spoke of the efforts
of Washington to secure a National uni
versity and then went on to toll of the
state Institutions, some of them in the
Western States established simply be
cause of the two townships of land
jrranted for the purpose. Others, how
ever, the speaker mentioned as assum
ing, alnnj with the growth of the com
monwealth, the true functions of the
state university, and entering upon a
eareer of enlightening and ennobling the
life of the entire people. Then Professor
Young took up In particular the Univer
sity of Oregon. He said:
Troubles of Uie TCarly Days.
The pt of the university Idea in Ore
gn is lntTet1ng and unique to a decree.
Orrgnn has a Htttte ITnlversity. hecaus as
a foundling inptitutton it whs imposed upon
her. And yt I hav wn a. etaiemnt that
even Wlwoiurtn, where now the Cniversity
idea has highest honor and real
isation, in dayw of old, tried to
iret tonfrrers to allow her to divert her
university endowment to the purposes of the
common schools. If Wisconsin from such
nn attitude toward the 'Stale mi vers, ry
Idea can recover bo as to bent the world,
it's up to Orefcrtn with a similar past to
hr credit to heat Wisconsin.
As a found 1 In jc. this Institution differed
all the sMjchts that naturally accompany
such an origin and therw are Mill douhts
as to whether the Oregon peoplo will ever
take !t to their hearts as their ewn. In
the earlier t orations of the Capital and the
penitentiary by vote of the Legislature the
Vniversity waa twice, used as a pawn to
consummate a political harrain. The sec
ond home of this Institution was a mining
camp, far removed from the main body of
the OreToai population. Concerning the
moving of the I'nlverslty to Jacksonville,
k it wj openly asserted on the floor of the
Territorial Iesjlslature that the University
had as well been located In the middle of
the Pacific Ocean or in Europe. o far as
bflng of any possible service to the people
for whom It was intended. The Institu
tion la now in Its third home.
The Tjower House of the Territorial leg
islature nn January 11, .&.",", by a vote of
I" to 12. phsm1 a memorial, asking Con-E-ress
to divert the University endowment
f two townships) of land to the purposes of
the common schools. (So the TJnn County
HUBgestion of 1JHS is not original. ) Even
thn latUEUAae of Oregon's present Consti
tution creates the suspicion that Its makers
were nt 111 Inclined to h-ve the proceeds of
the University grant turned over to the
common school, for they put off the es
tablishment of the University ten years and
miR Rested by that time Congress might have
Mowed the diversion of the fund. Con
gress, however. In the act admitting the
state, made it neepsnary for Oregon to ac
cept the land grant for university purposes
or not accept it at all. After the Institution
warn established for the utilization of the
land fund, language Is used to Indicate that
any state aid was wholly foreign to the
state's Intent. When first state appropria
tions were made, they were explained as
compensations for losses the land fund had
sustained through careless admin 1st ration
of It by territorial and state officials.
Change is University ljrad Items.
Before we paw judgment upon these early
stAta policies toward lis University we must
remember that conditions were still very
primitive here. The first few miles of rall
rwd were just being built. Accumulations
were small. The problems that they had
means for were simple. Conditions of social
equality obtained. It would have been
moat saJwtAry, indeed, if there bad been a
strong Institution to bring Into association
. the youth who were to be the leaders of the
next generation. Rut there were no func
tions Tor the State University recognized
distinct from those of the colleges of the
time. Of these they had a full supply.
Under such, circumstances there could be
but three grounds upon which the wisdom
of liberal ayproprtations for the State Uni
versity could be vindicated. It should be
maintained as the crown and complement
as well as Integral part of the public eohool
eyetexn; It should provide Instruction and
fartl1tiea of a. distinctly higher order than
those of the college of the state, and on
the same plan with, those of the universi
ties of nelgbbortng at a tee ; and It should
K.rTord more avaiktbl opportunities for in
digent youth of promise suid talent.
Thee limitation upon the State Uni
versity's function and upon Its possibilities
of social service In Oregon held good 30
years ago. But the eltuatkm has changed.
The door of opportunitY for State University
activities has swung wide open the country
over. Their duties and responsibilities have
increased proportionately with their oppor
tunities. And yet we shall see that no
other people have placed themselves in quite
the degree of need of the wide-st state uni
versity service as have the people of Ore
gon; and in no other state, I believe, is the
field so rich, and Inviting.
Responsibility of Ntate University.
The beginning of the moving out of the
state universities Into their wider realms is
apparent on every band. Supported almost
wholly by taxation, and possessed of but
1 i k M end owment s. yet In growth they far
outstrip other higher Institutions. State
universities share with endowed universities
the advantage due to the new alliance of
4. hiftlitvr education with the life-activities of
the whole people. Higher education Is com
muted as never before to the reinforcement
of labor with thought, scientific principles
and svlentino method. Kvery vocation Is
bevomlng a profession. The watting maid
has long siru-e evolved into the trained
mire. The kitchen maid has open to her
t-otlege courses in domestic science and
hme economics. The blacksmiths and
t-arpentr graduate as mechanical engi
neers, and be who has had majors in each
of chemistry, biology and economics is
ready for farming. Because science has
thus become the wedded helpmeet of in
dustry tbe university's relations must be
active and direct with every outlving neigh
borhood of the state and with every farm
and shop and store.
But of the higher Institutions state uni
versities have a rich and sacred responsi
bility peculiarly their own. Mr. Klthu Root,
In an sddreas before the student of Yale
Intversity recently, observed that "while
democracy has proved successful under
simple conditions. It remains to be seen
how It will stand the strain of the -ast
t omplleations of life upon w hich the coun
try 1s now entering.' It is the fact of theee
vast and growing complications that makes
the continuing welfare of democracy rest
directly and more and more completely
upon the Mate universities. No common
school training alone will suffice. A leaven
tf state university method and spirit must
reach all Neither w ill any institution of
higher education orsnnired and supported
in any other way than is the state uni
versity ever be fitted to save democracy
with Its Increasingly grave problems. Only

time on it must be organized, concerted and
co-operative effort if the advantages of
the 30th century and of their heritage is
to be theirs. The public or common utili

clude an ever wider range. The sources of
their water supply must be theirs. Their
Improved streams, their highways, their
forests, their mines, their water powers,
their natural parks all must be under their
control for wiselrt. policies of development
and conservation.
An agency that win -utilise the best
science and the highest motive In getting
together the people will alone suffice to lead
them in the work neceseary for the salva
tion of democracy. Data are necessary for
sound polirlea of constructive statesman
ship and the State University Library or
ganization Is adapted for furnishing them.
The onward-look must be cultivated and
that is eharacterlstlo of the university. The
state' univemity then alone is competent
for all these practical and yet idealistic
efforts for the commonwealth good. Its
courses will be apprenticeships in the pro
motion of the publie welfare. Its repre
sentative sent out on commencement day
will be but by-products, yet of finer culture
and nobler spirit than when culture for
culture's sake was the exclusive rule.

And further, with selected mental re

state why shoyld not state universities rid
us of the pernicious and corrupting stand
ards of conspicuous waste and conspicuous
leisure, and make the charm of life reside
in attrvlc ? Then would social cleavage
fade and society remain democratic through'
and through. With such prestige for tne
regenerating motive we should have the
principle, of the founder of Christianity
given embodiment and potency as never ac
corded It before. The state university Idea
represents the alliance of the largest
thought and the widest love for the regen
eration of commonwealth life. It means
sweetness as well as light. It represents
a union In an institution for which creation
has yearned until now.
Every Indication of fact and of theory
shows the indippensabillty of the State Uni
versity for carrying safely forward American
civilisation.
What of the Ftate University in Oregon
Do the conditions peculiar to her make
the distinctive functions of the State Uni
versity of larger or of smaller use to her
people? It takes but a glance to rtveal
that they have more to gain by investment
in a strong State University organisation
and more to lose through, neglect of tt than
has any other commonwealth. Everybody
in Oregon as never before is impressed with
possibilities the future has in store for this
state. Unfortunately, however, not all are
clear whether it shall be an old Babylon
cr a new Jerusalem that shall be realized
here.

Pulpit Rock is a slender basalt pillar
which rises abruptly among the pines
near the south boundary of the city,
forming a natural pulpit, from which the
early missionaries were accustomed to
preach to their Indian audiences in pleas
ant weather. It was first used in 1&J8,
when the missionaries named., on the
tablet arrived at The Dalles, bringing
their supplies and equipment in two
canoes from the Willamette Valley. The
rock originally had two pinnacles rising
about 12 feet from the base.
Rev. Daniel Lee enisled off one of those
points for a table on which to place his
Bible. The other was used as a seat by
the minister.
Joseph Luxillo. an old Indian, who etill
makes an annual pilgrimage to the mis
sion spring, where he was baptized . by
Rev. A. F. Waller, and who is seated on
the rock in the picture, describes the or
der of Sunday exercises as follows: At
dawn the minister mounted Pulpit Rock
and blew a horn that could be heard
across the Columbia. The people washed
and dressed themselves decently, crossed
plastic a state. Institutions, constitutions
and rights generally are in Uux. The situ
ation is critical. The breaking us of the
old set that the Oregon institutions had.
instead of affording an opportunity for mov
ing forward the University to the position
In the life r-nd organixatlon of the state
that 20th century conditions call for it to
occupy, threatens rather a thrusting back
into obscurity. It is the irony of fate that
a form of procedure of pure democracy is
utilized for this fell purpose of undoing the
one agency that alone can give pure dem
ocracy any chance of victory.
To all the needs or a state university
that any other Western state , has, Oregon
adds fundamental ones peculiar to her
self. A state made up of two such strongly
contrasted portions as those of Oregon. East
and West of the mountains, must by all
means ha e a permanent "get-together"
agency in which the coming leaders of the
two sections may be brought Into such
frlrndly relations as to make these differ
ences count for strength, and to serve for
supplementing each other, rather than for
contention. Again, the very richness and
diversity of our resources add complications
to our commonwealth problems. Oregon con
ditions call for comprehensive policies of
forestry, of transportation and for the con
servation of water for irrigation and power
purposes. The. diversities of the Coast, the
Willamette Valley, the Scu-thern Oregon and
the Eastern Oregon conditions will take the
best trained genius lor statesmanship for
the salutary adjustment of every order of
state institutions. From the nature of the
situation In Oregon the Oregon people must
administer immensely valuable public utili
ties and public wealth with prosperity, pres
tige and happiness or become the wretched
dependents of absentee capitalists. To the
people of Oregon much has been given, and
infinitely more can be developed from that
which has been given them, and much will
be required in wisdom, enlightenment and
loyalty, or they will forfeit their heritage.
And further, the Oregon people surely
do not wish to pose as mendicants, using
the science and art developed in the out
side world and giving none In return. No
self-respecting, happy and prosperous peo
ple would do that. It is true the Oregon
people will be tbe benefactors of all man
kind if they make a grand success of their
venture in pure democracy. But they may
fail, and If they do they -will be human
ity's curse. With sublime audacity Oregon
is Just entering upon the use of the most
liberal forms of the initiative and refer
endum. The eyes of the world are upon
her. The Oregon people are a fit people for
this venture for mankind. But there Is a
tremendous result at stake. Glorious success
means prestige and honor from all parts
of earth. Failure, however, means that
they become a by-word and a hissing for
the cynic and the lament of every true
friend of man. An absolutely essential con
dition to any worthy degree of success Is the
largest and best service to the people from
a strongly supported State University. (

For Two Years Prohibition Forces
Hare Been Carrying On Contest.
Opposition Organizes Bryan's
Platform Now Suits "Dry."
OMAHA, Neb.. March 22. SpeciaJ.
William J. Bryan, in his effort to
carry his own state at the coming Presi
dential election, has enlisted the Prohibi
tion forces. While this fact is incidental to
the real issue, it Is nevertheless true
that the Prohibition lssue.has been in
serted in the campaign, and will doubt
less be one of the most striking fea
tures of the comlne struggle.
There can be no doubt that conditions
in Nebraska are ripe for this step. The
Ahti -Saloon league and the W. C. T.
U. have been waging a campaign within
the state which is conceded to be the
most effective ever attempted. Members
of the Legislature who attended the Dem
ocratic and Republican conventions in
Omaha during the present month were
interviewed In numbers on the prohibition
question and almost without exception
they admitted that the spirit had become
a predominating factor in - local politics
in their home counties. Many of them
declared that to 'be a candidate for re
election to the State Legislature would
mean that they must define their position
on the prohibition question, and that
those who stood open for the saloon
would have a stiff fight on their hands.
regardless of the predominance of their
party in their respective sections.
' Fight Wages for Two Years.
There has been a quiet but fierce cam
paign waged for the past two years,
which until now. has not come to an
open fight. Both sides have appealed to
the business interests. The anti-saloon
people have come out on the broad plat
form that the saloon is a menace to the
good of a community, both from a busi
ne&s and moral standpoint. They have
enlisted the aid and support of several
hundred prominent business men of Ne
braska who believe that the money ex
pended in the liquor business, from manu
facturer down to retailer, would serve
much better purposes if it were circulated
through other channels of trade. They
have taken an honest stand on this point
and are bringing a strong influence to
bear on the people to bring them to that
way of thinking.
To oppose this movement at least
three strong organizations have pooled
their forces. The National- Retail
Liquordealers Association, the Brew
ers Protective Association and the
Nebraska Retail Dealers' Association
have combined to make open war on
the prohibition movement, and an or
ganization of business men, headed by
Arthur C. Smith, a local dry goods
jobber, has quietly taken up the strug
gle on behalf of the business men's
Interests.
County Option Law Proposed.
The antl-aloon people got started early
and their campaign was under a good mo
mentum before the liquor interests real
Ized it. The first victory was in the pas
sage by the last Legislature of a law di
vorcing the brewery and retail interests.
Now is proposed a county option law.
This will give all the voters in the county
an opportunity to vote, where formerly
only citizens of incorporated towns were
permitted to decide whether the town
should be "wet" or "dry.
Tbe country voters are expected to
put the saloons out of business in 70
per cent of the counties. This would
result in a prohibition Legislature be
!ng elected and put the temperance
people in control. The next step, as
mapped out, is to secure the passage of.
a precinct and ward option law. Such
a law would make it optional whether
saloons should be located in any par
ticular ward, and in cities like Omaha.
South Omaha, Lincoln and others of
their class all the saloons would be lo
cated In the down-town sections.
W ith this extensive programme up
for the consideration of the voters of
Nebraska, the temperance movement is
expected to receive an Impetus such as
it has not had since the days of Belva
Lockwood. Its influence already has
been felt In the Nebraska state plat
form, written by William J. Bryan, and
presumed to be a model of what he
would have adopted by the Denver con
vention. No "Personal Liberty" Plank.
On the night preceding the Nebraska
State Convention Mr. Bryan administered
a stinging rebuke to the brewery Inter
ests. He was going over the proposed
platform with the men" who had been se
lected to act on- the resolutions cosnm'l.
tee. w. S. Shoemaker, an Omaha attor
ney, was selected to present to the com
mittee a "personal liberty' plank for in
sertion In the platform. He had consid
erable trouble securing a hearing at all,
and when he finally was given a minute
to present his plank, Mr. Bryan replied
that it should find no place in the resolu
tions, adding the remark: "We might as
well say 'We are with the brewers' and
be done with It."
The following afternoon, when the plat
form was being dressed up for presenta
tion to the convention. Shoemaker again
appeared and attempted to secure a hear
ing. He was quickly subdued, however,
and even refused admission to the com
mittee room.
Other state leaders, including Mayor
Dahlman. of Omaha, admit they see the
end of the saloon in Nebraska. Dahlman
himself favors the saloon, and was elect
ed on a platform which indorsed the
Sunday refreshment booth, but was forced
later to clap the "lid" on because he was
threatened by the Law and Order League.
He admits that the "personal liberty"
plank Is not likely to appear in tle Dem
ocratic National platform.

charged with being members of an al

Paul Krueger, alias Paul France, alias

some days ago. J. A. Mclntyre is under
arrest at Burns, and a deputy sheriff is
on his way to bring him to Walla Walla.
It is estimated that these five men have

The first direct trace of the guilty
parties was obtained by following a ship

were followed up and it is said that abso

been secured. The band was no respecter

draft horses out of the fields, driving
horses out of the barns and even Indian
cayuses off the range. -
