ern Oregon counties, representing tho
Third T'lwtrlct.
"I have been s member of the State
Hoard ot Horticulture for tho Inst 12
years, said J(r. Carson. "Kor a num
ber of years our work was decidedly
difficult, and but little proKress whs
made toward acoompllshlna- results, hut
wc inaugurated a enmraiftn of educa
tion among orohardlsts, which has been
prosecuted perwlstontlj-. with the result
that we now have a majority of the
fruitgrowers with us. This enables us
to require compliance with tho hor
ticultural laws of the state, puhlio
opinion overcoming the indifference of
growers. Tn Jackson County the Board,
with the assistance of the growers, has
been able almost entirely to eradlratc
the pear blight, which for years was a
serious mennce to this fruit.
"Jackson County is distinctly the
pear county of the Paclfle Coast. Over
12.000 acres are devoted to that luscious
fruit, and 65 per cent of the acreage
planted to fruit in that county last year
consisted of pear trees. Next Spring
between 3000 and 4000 additional acres
will he planted to pears on the hill
sides, which are being converted Into
pear orchards as rapidly as the timber
can he removed and the land cleared."
Mr. Carson is the pioneer grape
grower of the state, having an orchard
of fi." acres near Grants Pass. He re
ports that horticulturists In the vicinity
of lirnnt Tass this year will plant
abont 000 acres to grapes. Mr. Carson
intro.fuced this industry Into Josephine
County, and has demonstrated that no
other section of the country Is better
adapted to grape culture. "I expect to
live to see the day when from 40 to 50
carloads of this fruit will be shipped
dally from Grants Pass to the markets
of the world." said he yesterday.
FROM AN OLDTIME FRIEND

SAN mANriPCO. April J (To the

I knew he had been a sufferer for the pact
two years or more, hut the announcement of
his death did not reach me until recently,
my exnrnd-'d absence from San Franelfcn
placina me out of touc,h with Portland

Frohably no man better known in

"Jerry." and I doubt if any one wu better

and. while I am no longer there. I can
readily conceive how much, he -vill be

with him antedates thr time he went to
Portland, beyinnin when he was working
In the State Printers office at Salem under
E. M. Waite. at which time 1 ju swtin;

life. "Jerry" was a treat favorite, and he,
with his associate printers, Wilbur Cornel..
S. F. Flythe. W. P. Krady, "Salty" Board

guests at many a Salem home, and it waa
there he found hia wife. He has led a
quiet, unobtrusive and praiseworthy life, open
as a book, and during- the many years he
a engaged In reporter I al work on The
Oregonian he made many friends for the

personally more popular than he amongst

STAN FOR n CNtVKUSITV. April rt - (To
the Kit (tor I- An editorial appeiired in Ths
Oregonian a shtrt lime stm-o renrdlng the
recent dlsturhance here and a good many
of u are Jut beginning to reallr.e the great
ammmt of notoriety our alma muter Is re
ceiving at tb hands of the pre of this
country, particularly the Northwest. As I
think the, newspapers generally do not wish
to misrepresent , I thought that The Ore
gon Inn should understand I he situation,
not from the pnfenMrs standpoint, but also
from the student body vtw.
I wih to say rlsrht here, and ' mst em
phatically, that wt are not a "hun-h of
dft-iinkards, aa The Oregonian bad It, nor
are we striving to gain the right in act dis
orderly or berome intoxicated, without being
punished for H, We are nut pro tern Ing
asAtnat the problblttun of drunk onnefm kd
heartily believe In it ami favor tho aboli
tion of It, If sueh ever existed here. Per
sonally I know of no one student at this
time, whom I or any f slr-mtnded" man
would call a "soak" or a "drunk ard;" but
we w r e. nro tenting- naaimtt whnt we be 1 1 e v e
to be harnhnean. Injustice and, unfairness.
It might be well to state that the report tn
regard to drinking at the university is ter
ribly exaggerated, prlnk-lng in moderation
does occur on the campus at times, but very
seldom is It carried to excels. defy any
one to point to a university the sire of
Stanford where morals are higher or the
st nnd a rd of Itvlng better or nobler than
right here at Stanford.
When The Orrj-onlan says, it appears
from the accounts of their conduct, that
the Stanford t'nlverstty students value the
privilege of riot and debauchery above their
education," It alleges that of which It knows
nothing, absolutely nothing. It Is either de
liberately mlMenttinir its patient re Aft era or
has been most frightfully misinformed.
Again. The Oregonian says. "The faculty
having- forbidden them to drink grog on the
campus or get tipsy anywhere else, they
organised a monster 'demonstration In pro
tect ; invaded the library, insulted thn dis
ciplinary committee of the university and
sought to hully President Jordan." The
above Is not only untrue, but it is again
misleading. The parnde to whteh The Ore
gonian refers was not an organised monster
demonstration of protest against the right to
get "tipsy anywhere, nor did the paraders
desire to insult anyone. To those who took
offense the paraders apologized and made no
attempt to bully President Jordan. The Ore
gonian goes on In this evidently malicious
and contemptible stab-you-ln-the-back-wlth-
a-knlfe manner and connects this insignifi
cant overflow of levity wit h the graft In
San Francisco and classes all of us of the
followers of Herr Most and Emma Goldman
The Oregonian even insinuates that wo will
all end tn the penitentiary and classes us
aa murderers. "The wonder to us is that
the Stanford 1'niverstty students have re
frained from murdering their professors."
Now. r think that any fair-minded man
will agree with me when I say that any
human being (I refuse to call him a man)
a ho will comment as thia writer of the edi
torial referred to has upon a situation of
which he seems to know nothing, la among
the most contemptible of creatures whom
God has placed upon this earth. If he did
not know the facta of that about watch, he
wrote, the more blameworthy is he.
In looking over The Oregnntan s editorial.
I fall to And a single point In regard to
Stanford that it haa interpreted In the
proper light. Ita assertions, to one who Is
familiar with the present unpleasantness.
would seem very ludicrous indeed, did no(
on realise tnat some creauious person
might be inveigled Into believing the ven
omous fallacies of The Oregonian In at
tempting to gain an existence by belittling
others.
Parades" at Stanford have become al
most traditional and occur on many occa
sions, unon the slightest pretext. Such
nearly always occur after athletic victories,
change of student-affairs committees, and
at times for no other reason than an over
abundance of enthusiasm. Or purely In a
spirit of levity. The "parade" of March
arose spontaneously, witnout neing pre
arranged or organised, in the eventng sev
eral hours after the student affairs com
mittee had sent out its '"edict" on students'
behavior. To this no one would probabTy
take serious offence, except tMtt it was
dictatorial, rather obscure, but most of all,
uncalled for. This parade at first seemed
to be bound for nowhere in particular, the
paraders merely singing college songs and
giving college yells. Some one suggested
that Mr. Clarke, the head of the student
affairs committee, be visited and requested
to make a speech. He not being at home,
the r radars marched through the library
and shortly afterwards dispersed.
This, without going into the details, was
the now "famous parade" not one bit of
property was damaged, nothing happened
at which aoy one could be deeply offended,
and In fact it amounted to nothing. The
college dJl?y raper considered ft ol so
lit: !e importance that the parade was not
mentioned until V became notorious later.
For this insignificant, trivial offense. If
!t may rightfully called an offense. 1'2
men wer suspended from the university.

Not the leaders, but 12 -who were noticed
bv a "spotter." This was certainly unfair,
for the 12 suspended for the remainder of
the semester were not the leaders nor was
It claimed that they were they were
picked at random from the 25ft and araln
the punishment was far too severe. We
protested in an orderly and gentlemanly
manner to what we considered as unfair
nes, injustice and harshness, and were re
warded for our gentlemanly protest by
some -TO more being added to the number
expelled for this unimportant "parade."
I reiterate that we are not protesting
for the "right to get drunk and smash
college furniture" The present trouble be
tween the students and faculty has noth
ing whatsoever to do with the drinking
question. If one can rightly say there is
such a question at Stanford. We are simply
protesting against harshness and Injustice.
Some there are, I suppose, who consider
such a suspension as more or less of a dis
grace, and while I am not one of them,
to me. and I say it most emphatically, I
do not consider it such, nor does anr .one
who kr,ou s the facta. On the contrary,
those 41 men were the best at Stanford, and
I admire every one of them for doing
the fair ihtna; and for -saying and standing
up for what they thought right-

that tho parade had no object; that no

It Is probably useless to remind him that
the notoriety his beloved alma mater is
receiving; is not the fault of the news
papers, but of himself and his fellow
rioters. If they had behaved themselves
properly, nobody would have dreamed
that there was a question of drunkenness
to be settled at Stanford: but since the
students, by their rebellion brought the
matter prominently before the public, it
had to be dealt with by the press, and
we trust that The Oregonian, at least,
performed Its duty in the premises ade
quately. Does young Bennett realize how
fatuous it Is to deny that there is a
"drink question" at Stanford when Pres
ident Jordan has admitted that drink was
at the bottom of all the trouble? Does
he realize how absurd It sounds to say
thaf he and his comrades were expelled
for making an orderly and gentlemanly
protest? They were expelled for break
ing the rules of their college and defy
ing the faculty and every right thinking
person in the country believes that they
got precisely what they deserve.
Stanford University stands a great deal
higher today than it would have stood
had the faculty compromised this affair
in any particular. The sMidents who
were expelled have nobody to blame but
themselves, and to whine over their
punishment and rail at the newspapers
will not help them an atom. -The only
rational thing for them to do now Is to
set resolutely at work, retrieve their past
and. if possible, make men of themselves.
Before they can do so, their ideals, judg
ing from this letter, must change a good
deal, but even this is possible if they

reform. If -they are genuine, all worthy
persons will sympathize, but attempts
like young Bennett's-, to palliate, excuse,
deny and throw the blame upon the fac
ulty, can only make matters worse. The
beginning of reform is confession and
penitence.
