STATES UNITE ON CLAIMS Wisconsin's Governor Has Plan Settle Public Land Debts. to MADISON'. Wis-., Feb. 13. (Specials Governor Davidson has decided to try to line up the executives of several states in a combined effort to have the Federal Government settle longstanding claims for money due public lands. The plan is to have the various states ask their Representatives in Congress to help secure the passage of an appro priation bill settling the claims of the states. Combined effort would secure a settlement, it is believed, where indi vidual efforts would be fruitless. Wisconsin's claim' is for $500,000. and the letter to Governor Hay, Washington, and F. W. Benson, Oregon, calls attention to the claims of those states for $90,000 and $S0,000, respectively.

EX-COMMISSIOEt OF GENERAL YJ.CA REJECTS UNORTHODOX VEW Invitation to Professor Howe Withdrawn. UNITARIANS HEAR ADDRESS Oregonr University Teacher Gives Views of Religion. BELIEF SAVES FROM FEAR Doctrine That Christ Is Only Son Makes Man Step-Child or Cruel Step-Father, Says Profes sor Herbert C. -Howe. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) After having been first invited by the Oregon Uni versity Y. M. C. A. to address it on his conception of the mission of Christ, the invitation having been withdrawn afterward because it was declared that his ideas were not in accord with the beliefs of the evangelical churches of which the Y. M. C. A. is virtually a branch. Professor Herbert Crombie Howe, head of the department of Eng lish literature .at the University of Oregon, delivered his address tonight in the Eugene Unitarian Church to a congregation which included many stu dents. "If Christ was not a man, as we are, then God, who was his father, is not our father in the same sense," was one of the unorthodox utterances made by Professor Howe in the course of his address tonight. "Observe, that Curist taught us to pray to our -father, not to his father. Everywhere he teaches you that God is our father; nowhere does he set any limitation on that, or give the phrase any special and .unusual meaning. - Creed Substitute for Acts. "Out of the cowardice and Infidelity of man has grown a self-indulgent doc trine known as the doctrine of the counsel of perfection." He said again: "Christ bids us be per fect, so that argument runs, but we cannot be perfect we are only men. He only meant that in some figurative sense, it is said. To reply that the words are explicit and that Chri3t only bids us do what he first set the ex ample of doing only elicits the denial of Christ's humanity. " 'O. he could do this and that,' we are told. He was not a man, he was a God; lie could be perfect, but he knew well enough that we could not. So with his counsel not to resist vio lence, to turn the other cheek, to love our neighbor as ourself men call ing themselves Christians deny the possibility of following any or all. of these commands. They maintain that Christ's teaching is all a counsel of perfection, that police, and courts, and armies and navies are necessary to re sist that evil Christ bade us not resist. Men substitute all sorts of elaborate creeds for the words of Christ him self, in order that by doing something they may obscure to themselves the fact that they do not believe in what Christ says. They say that if we literally obeyed Christ's words and did not resist violent evil, chaos would fol low, and only the evil man would pros per.'.' ' Presbyterian Pastor Aroused. Professor Howe is the Oregon faculty member whose action in discussing the divinity of Christ with members of one of his classes at their request, after school hour, last October, caused him to be assailed from the pulpit by Rev. H. N. Mount, of the First Presbyterian Church of this city. What aroused Rev. Mr. Mount's ire was Howe's de nial that Christ was more divine than any man, .and his statement that he could not conceive of a God so cruel and bloodthirsty as to Insist on a doc trine of predestination and blood atone ment as a means of salvation.

Lads Awkward, Lasses Prim, Separ ation Will ' Induce Effort, Says Statistician.- SACRAMENTO, Cal., Feb. 13. (Spe cial.) Job Wood, statistician in the of fice of State Superintendent of Public Education Hyatt, is strong for sex seg regation in high schools, and to supportj nis contention, which he has preached for years, he offers practical reasons. He asserts that when a boy enters high school he is a big, awkward fel low, not much for neatness, while a girl has been taught much less than primness whlleat home; a boy is care less with his papers, while a girl makes a neat showing. Teachers are natur ally attracted by a precise maiden and give her more credits than a vouth. That disgusts a boy and urges him to leave school. i Put boys by themselves and they will work to excel their classmates, in that way bringing out what there is in them. Girls are naturally older for their ages than boys, which is another drawback. Wood finds, to sexes being together in high schools.
