of Cornell, the blue and black of Penn

throats of thousands of students as they
walked along the line of march. Within

were Messrs. Eliot, Hadley, Patton and
Harper. William T. Harris was the next
speaker.
President Bntler's Address.
After a selection by the university band,
President Butler made his Inaugural ad
dress. He said:
"The shifting panorama of the centuries
reveals three separate and underlying
forces, which shape and direct the higher
civilization. Two of these have a spiritual
character and one appears to be, in part,
at least,, economic,, although clearer
vision may one day show that they all
spring from a common source. These
three forces are the church, the state, and
science, or, better, scholarship. Many
have been their interdependence and
manifold their intertwinings. All else Is
tributary to these three, and we grow In
civilization as mankind comes to recog
nize the existence and the importance of
each.
"University scholars have unconscious
ly divided themselves into three types or
classes: Those who Investigate and break
new ground; those who explain, apply and
make understandable the fruits of new
Investigation and those philosophically
minded teachers who 'relate the new to
the old and, without dogma or intoler
ance, point to the lessons taught by the
developing human spirit. The purpose of
scholarly activity requires for Its ac
complishment men of each of these three
t pes."
The ceremonies were closed with the
National anthem, in which the President
Joined heartily, and by the pronouncing
of the benediction by Right Rev. Bishop
H. C. Potter.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies the
university students formed in a great
square at the head of the steps leading
to the gymnasium and gave their college
cheer, ending with the cry. "Roosevelt!
Roosevelt!" In response the President
said:
"I want to thank you all from the bot
tom of my heart for this kind and hearty
reception. 1 also wish to say how glad
I am to be here today to see my old and
valued friend made presldont of this great
institution. Incidentally, I wish to say
that the cheering and" enthusiasm recall
to me my football days."
The President then turned and entered
his carriage and departed. He went to
Mrs. James W. Roosevelt's residence.
In the evening the alumni of Columbia
gave a banquet at Sherry's in honor of
the new president ol the university.
Among those who made addresses were
President Roosevelt and Mayor Low.
President Roosevelt was heartily cheered
as he rose to speak. He said In part:
"What I am going to say will be based
on the admirable address of ray old and
valued friend this afternoon your new
president. Tho all-important doctrine to
teach is that one -piece of first-rate work
is worth a thousand pieces of second
class work."
The President 8013" .tha whlle one of
us might be fitted for scholastic honors,
the majority would be fitted to do good
service for the country and the people.
The President spoke of the men who had
served in the Civil War and said the ten
dency to run away had always impaired
a man's usefulness.
"In civic betterment," he -said, "the man
who counts Is the man who makes himself
a force for decency, cleanliness and right
eousness. The man who counts must have
these qualities. He must be honest; ha
must have courage."

WEAK KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER TROUBLE
Had to Pass Water Very Often Day and Night.
Cured- by the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root.
DR. KILMER & CO., Blnghamton, N. Y.
About two years ago I hid a very severe case of kidney and bladder trouble.
The pain in the small of my back was so severe that I could not stand it to stay
In one position more than a moment or two, and was obliged to pass water very
often day and night. I tried medicines and doctors without getting relief. Notic
ing an advertisement In the Topeka State Journal of Swamp-Root, X determined
to give It a trial and bought a bottle. By the time I had finished the first bottle
the pain had entirely disappeared from my back. The pain and frequent desire to
piss water ceased. However, I continued to take the medicine, using about six
bottles in alL That was over a year ago and I have had no return of 'the trouble
since.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for more sickness and suffering
than any other disease, therefore, when, through neglect or other causes, kidney
trouble is permitted to continue, fatal results are sure to follow.
We often see a relative, a friend, or an acquaintance apparently well, but In a
few days we may be grieved to learn of their severe illness, or sudden death,
caused by that fatal type of kidney trouble Brlght's Disease.
The mild and extraordinary effect of the world-famous kidney and bladder
remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-R6ot, Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. A trial will convince any one and
you may have a sample bottle sent frcB, by mail.

MORE ABOUT THE SOUL.
La Grande Again Responds to Mr. H.
K. Sargent.
LA GRANDE, Or., April 19. To the
Editor.) In my communication to you
of the 3d Inst, regardlog Mr. H. K. Sar
gent's learned Temarks on the "useless
and tiresome metaphysical speculations as
to the nature of the soul," published by
The Oregonlan In Its Issue of March SO,. I
have presumed to make a few observa
tions on, them, thinking that instead of
meriting a reply from that gentleman I
would rather be ignored by him. In
this case, 'however, my fond wish Is not
father to the thought
The comic poet said of old: "I brought
my mind to be ot my o-4nlon." Mr.
Sargent, In his reply of the 6th Inst,
seems to cherish this blessed state of
mind, and I venture to suggest to him
that by the rejoinder, which I beg of
you kindly to publish,. I do not Intend to
dispel this blessedness, as my attempt
at It would be fruitless. For the sake
of mutual understanding, however, as
for the high degree of admiration in which
he holds me and I him sit venla verbis
I must explain to him the reasons which
prompted me to make those remarks,
which I do judge he deems uncalled for.
I would not, to be plain, as a philo
sophical, critic of his remarks on the
statements made by Mr. Ignatius
Schmitt In reference to "Human Soul,"
treat them otherwise than from the side
of logical reason, as the soul, being Im
material, henco Indivisible, could not
possibly be subjected to the test of
biological formulas. Hence, when I de
clared, "Mr. Sargent lapses into error
common to all, whose mind, though amply
stored with piece-knowledge, lacks tho
comprehensiveness and lucidity of one
whose mind, by exact training, acquired
control over the intricacies of logic," I
dld not to say the least undervalue his
otherwise Important and useful elucubra
tlons, or belittle his efforts in attempting
at thrusting them upon the readers of
The Oregonlan, for I gave him unstinting
praise for all that All T. wished to con
vey to him, by proposing certain ques
tions to be answered, was In the spirit
of one who, while not Ignorant of the
trend of modern thought was anxious to
check his m directed zeal and propagand
Ism, by helping him out in setting and
poising of his mind. to understand the
moral temper which the- theories he
argues have to meet Did he answer my
questions? I say, no! Did I controvert
his arguments? I say yes! For the soul,
which is a "power," talfen in Its
dynamic sense, has nothing to do with
the observations advanced by Mr.
Schmitt, and I failed, therefore, to see
In Mr. Sargent's remarks the "vim argu
mentl," why the soul "anima ratlonalls
humana," should not be brought Into ex
istence at the first moment of conception.
Had he not though reluctantly,, avowed
his Ignorance of an argument which
could disprove her existence in the con
tltlon of disembodiment I had left his
remarks as to "its conception" unchal
lenged. But while he speaks of his utter
inability of conceiving the metaphysical

arguments, ho Is so thoroughly at home
In the domain of biology and histology,
at least he flatters himself to be, that
questions Hkt those propounded to him
by me are being looked at with con
tempt, if not pity, for the poor, be
nighted priest of the Roman Catholic
Churon!
Let us see whether or not the- Catholic
priest Is ever in the forefront of thought.
I referred above to the moral temper
which theories propagated by would-be
scientists like Mr. Sargent have to meet
What Is It? It is that disposition, call
It naturalistic or materialistic, which is
rapidly spreading over the whole body
of society, biasing the Judgment of some,
enlisting the affections of others, domi
nating the profane sciences, and not
scrupling to Interpret sacred science. It
invades legal ideas, and from tho clinic
of a physician it passes over to sway tho
verdict on a criminal, in the case of the
assassin Czolgosz and many others, it
proved to be a brilliant failure! And
why? May be that my worthy critic
will try to account for it in some way or
another! Moreover, It touches the mor
ality of business, as well as Interests
political and International; and It Is
shaping every department of letters.
Under the scientific form of Darwin
Ism, around which, as a quickening
nucleus, the whole- "theory" of evolution,
I say advisedly theory, we find this
naturalism or materialism acquiring such
an ascendency that every science now
pays tribute to it not excluded: theft,
robberj", murder, and crime of every sort
Imaginable, and to the theories which,
wrongly or rightly, God knows it are
taken to be an expression of It In a
word, Darwin's system la a dogma of
every sclenco now. I know that it is
not politic for me to speak so, at least
within hearing of Mr. H. K. Sargent
attorney and counselor-at-law. To me,
who thinks that dosing the younger
generation with the bestial In thought
will probably elicit the bestial In action,
as it most assuredly does, for crima is
rapidly increasing, theories of "cell,"
etc., are an abomination. They are and
may be good to him who loves to dwell
in the regions of dreamland.
For what Is "cell?"' As I understand
It, and I venture to assure the critic that
I own the entire scientific library pub
lished by Appletons, it is ''the term des
ignating the smallest Integral portion of
matter which can exhibit life, receive it,
or communicate it to another." In other
words: "It is the last physical unit
wherein life can be found, and In less
than which life cannot be."
But besides this knowledge, which I
obtained from books, hence upon authority,
my worthy critic supplied me with super
erogatory data, which I thoroughly ap
preciate. "I am told by him what the
cell Is in either sex, its diameter, and Its
shape. The spermatozoon Is said to be
not unllko a tadpole, but of course several
thousand times smaller." May I ask,
how many times?
To supplement tho aforesaid, I beg to
state that I have read somewhere that
inside the wall or envelope of, the cell,
and sometimes constituting the whole of
It, Is found an "element" which seems
indispensable. It is a liquid substance of
slimy consistency which Is endowed with
"specific" organization, and is capable of
exhibiting "motion." Should this be
"the tall, of which my worthy critic
speaks, and which, after the head of the
spermatazoon Is buried into the 'ovum
drops off?"
Life, I am informed by Huxley, is not
known without the presence of this sub
stance of slimy consistency, which is to
be found in every organic living cell,
whether of animal or vegetable. Henco he
calls It "the physical basis of life." Thus
the description of all life. In a biological
sense, as viewed from the material side
of the aforementioned "element," which
goes to compose It, may be comprised in
this formula: "Omne vlvum ex cellula."
Now, my worthy critic, In his communi
cation of the 6th Inst, has the kindness

CATARRH OF

This condition may result from

swallowed.

to informi me as to the question, ' Yi'hy
does the spermatazoon remain inactivo
as soon as it Is burled In the ovum?"
Because its tall, which alone exhibits
vlbratile motions, drops' oft I But I ask:
By -what evidence?
In the first placo, tho gentleman will
permit me Just one remark here. "Why
does he go to so much pains In finding
out points of likeness between the
spermatazoon and a tadpole! Ingenious
as the theory Is, and perhaps acceptable
to peopole who complain of cold feet. It
Is rather too abstruse to my "compre
hensive and lucid mind." It savors the
"glorious mission" of Hacckel, which
he once assigned to the cell, and at which
gigantic theory Edmund Perrler, an
ardent admirer and follower of the
former, some 20 and odd years ago, en
joyed a hearty laugh, the authority of
Professors Piersol and Conn, though ad
vanced now, to the contrary notwith
standing! I am not ashamed to declare that I renlly
wanted information from him, while pro.
posing those questions, and I am confident
that from what I said heretofore I did
not offer any reason of escaping the ef
fect of the "facts" given by my worthy
critic. Those facts, however, appeal to
me with the same -force as the "ilone
ron" of Haeckel, or his "Cenogenesls,'
or, lastly, his "Law of Verification,"
cognomed "Palingenesis."
Should I be mistaken in what I honestly
stated, I might perhaps be Inclined to
explain away "the dropping off of the
tail" and the consequent Inactivity of the
spermatazoon in the ovum for . a time
(how long, I am not as yet informed),
upon the theory of "An Arrested De
velopment." What does my worthy critic
thing of It?
And lastly, to render full Justice o Mr.
H. K. Sargent, whom I henceforth shall
look upon as my genial friend and kind
mentor, I beg to call his attention as to
his denial of my assertion of having
"declared" Mr. Ignatius Schmltt's state
ment "to be only a pious wish" to -his
very words. Here they are:
". k . I am Inclined to think that the
belief In a soul as an immaterial some
thing, distinct from and Independent of
matter. 1. e., distinct from and Independent
of brain and nervous system, is neither
more nor less than the speculations of a
pious wlsh.V (See Oregonlan, March 30.)
If the sentence cited does not, by all
rules of grammar known to me, stand
for a declaration, I'll be bound to give
up English and take to Sanscrit.

In pushing legislation looking to pen
sioning civil service employes after they
were too old to fill their places. I treated
the matter as a sort of "green-goods'
affair, but at the same time it set mo
to thinking, and. as a reult, I became
rather doubtful as to whether tenure of
office under civil service rules is a good
thing. When a person knew that his stay
in the service was doubtful, and that fellow-employes
were being discharged, there
wasn't much inducement for an employe
to get his successor's salary raised, but
under the present system an employo
knows that any effort he may put forth
In that line will, if successful, be for his
own benefit.
There are. In round numbers. S5.O0O per
sons In the classified civil s-ervice; if each,
contributes $1 per month in a year it
would reach the sum of over $1,000,000. to
be used for a lobbying fund at Washing
ton. Such a fund, intelligently used, might
secure an average advance in salaries of
$10 per month, or $10,000,000 extra burden
for the citizens of this country to bear,
and, besides, legislation would be impeded,
and the time of our Congressmen and Sen
ators taken from legislation for the gen
eral good.
I have no doubt the President sees .this
difficulty, and In his order Is taking tho
thrifty "stitch in time." The Democratic
party, as usual, assumes the role of cham
pion of the Federal ofilce-holders in an
