' Appeal Made to Public-Spirited Americans Who Wish to Pro mote Technical Education. ' Efforts to raise more money for an educational endowment fund for tech nology have bee"n carried to the Pa ifin roast and Ellis F. Lawrence, lo cal architect, has been appointed re gional chairman of the drive for the state of Oregon. The campaign is be ing conducted' by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is in tended to appeal to public-spirited Americans who. realize the importance of higher education and w in a financial way in prom interests of the young country. - Mr. Lawrence will receive subscrip tions to the fund at his office in the Chamber1 of Commerce building. 4 A statement of the aims of the Massachusetts institute was recently given by General T. Coleman DuPont, formerly head of the DuPont interests and the Equitable Life Assurance so ciety and now president of the alum ni association of the Massacnusetts Institute of Technology, who says colleges and technical schools funda mentally are factories in which the raw material is the youth of the nation and the finished product is tlte men and women who are responsible for the preservation of the ideals of civilization and the progress of in dustry. Foor Millions Available. Speaking to the Alumni association of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in connection with the campaign now under way to raise an .educational endowment funcl of $8, 000,000, half of which is already, prom ised on the condition that the school raise the other half. General Du Pont ualled attention to the interesting co incidence that at the close of the sec ond great war in its history, the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology ffhould again come. before the nation nuking for approbation and support. The institute was founded at -ths end of the civil war, when advocates of technical education laid their 'plans before the legislature of Massachu setts and asked for approval and bucking. Then, as now, those to whom Uie appeal was made realized that na tional strength lies in the industries, and that industries draw to a large extent upon the technical schools for their leaders. : "The success ofvthe original appeal Is known not only to every 'tech' man, but to those whose acquaintance with the great educational institutions of the United States is more a matter of hearsay than personal knowledge, ex cept as it applies to their own alma mater, and this success, together with the institute's record in the country's service, in times of peace as well as in times of war, has encouraged an appeal, not only to the people of Mas sachusetts, but to the whole United states, lor tne means oi esiaousning a greater technology." said General Du Pont. Foundations Already Laid. ; "The solid foundations on which to build this greater technology have al ready been laid. The present plant, which has an outside- capacity of 2500 men, can with relatively little altera tion be accommodated to the needs of iOOO or 3500 men. The great need is money. The arrears of the past two years of war, when the institute was kept open for the benefit of relatively few students, must be made up. and provision made for the enormously increased enrollments of this and next year, when all of our young men are released from war-time service and can turn to the business of education once more. Registration at the Mas sachusetts Inst itute of Technology this year is 3092, 58 per cent greater than ever before, and; it is significant that a large share of the increase is composed of men coming from other V-olleges, academic institutions for the most part." General Du Pont emphasized the fact that the trend of the day is to ward technical education. The whole world of commerce is looking to "America for opportunity and leader ship and America is looking to the jnen of science, the men of, practical toiontific training, for guidance. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has proved itself able to develop juch men and if given a free hand and the necessary support will become an even greater bulwark of strength to the nation. ESI V r t 1 1 f ) KLONDIKE AND CHIEF, TWO Ht'GE MALAMUTES NOW AT O. A. C REGON AGRICULTURAL COL- Corvallis, Nov. 29. (Spe- There are two individ uals, technically known as "mala mutes," in the college whose presence Tie re is probably productive more of an education to their associates than to themselves. They have been here for four weeks now, coming at the time of the homecoming game. They are the huge Alaskan dogs belonging to Carl N. Anderson, graduate in 1913, and at present engineer for the Jose vig Kennecott Copper company, Mc Carthy, Alaska. The dogs are being kept at the Sigma Chi fraternity, of which their owner is a member, until next April, when they will return to Alaska. "Klondike" and "Chief" are the names of the animals, who are broth ers from the same litter. Their moth er was a wolf and their father a Great Dane. This cross produces the hybrid known as malamute. The two dogs had been constantly in the serv ice of their master, hauling materials out from Nomtf, Alaska, for the last three years, and they are now taking a short rest. They will stay until April, when it will be too warm for them here, and Mr. Anderson will take them back to the north. They are at present enjoying life in the custody of the Sigma Chi members on the campus. These dogs, in spite of their imme diate ancestry of wolves, are intelli gent and gentle. They are keen in response to attentions of human be ings and Beem to know what is meant by human words. Should a dog arouse their enmity, their master cautioned the boys, they would not stop short of killing it. He advised that care be taken to prevent such tragedy. Klondike and Chief take their meals but once a day, eating at 4 P. M. They are not particular as to diet and will accept aru kind of table scraps, although their1 preference is for meat. They seem to know that they are not working and eat lightly accordingly. Although not often prompted to howl, once in a while the atmosphere of the north campus is pierced by their peculiar call. They are already favorite pets and are per mitted to attend every event of im portance on the campus, always being privileged and required to carry their lead chains. LOCAL Ml HAS BIG JOB PHILADELPHIA SUPPLY BASE BUILT BY PORT LANDER. Lieutenant-Colonel E. B. Mordcn, Constructing Quartermaster, Also Put Up Camp Custer. One of the largest constructive projects of the army, an immense sup ply base at Greenwich Point, near Philadelphia, has Just been completed, according to advices from Philadlphia, under the direction of a Portland man; Lieutenant-Colonel E. B. Morden. The supply depot has been finished at a cost of $13,500,000. Colonel Morden is constructing quartermaster at Phila delphia. The Greenwich Point supply base was erected by the army for war pur poses, but is now to be used for com mercial purposes for the benefit of Philadelphia harbor, the government retaining possession of the property and leasing it for long periods. The piers and docks will greatly lessen the cost of transportation of freight in the harbor by eliminating the ne cessity of lightering, the method now in use for the movement of a large percentage of Philadelphia's cargo freight. E. B. Morden came to Portland with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Mor den of 1294 East Twelfth street, in I ance. Oregon butter and cheese and otner aalry products have made so much progress since then that the officers expect this convention will eclipse all former gatherings.

New Highway Can Be Reached by : Iriving Out Terwllliger Boule vard and to Bertha. The new all-paved highway from Portland to Beaverton and Hillsboro is now open to travel over its whole length. The state highway commission an nounced late yesterday that the last Jstretch of about 2Vb milea of concrete just this side of Beaverton. which has been closed to travel while "setting tor the past six weeks, had been opened. The opening had been ex pected Monday, as forecast in a news story from Beaverton published in The Oregonian yesterday. r Motorists bound for Beaverton or "HiUsboro over the new highway should not confuse it with the Can yon road, which leads out from the head of Jefferson street. The Canyon road route is not yet entirely paved to Beaverton. a detour Just beyond the Multnomah county line being in bad condition. I To reach the new paved highway row open, motorists should drive out Terwilliger boulevard and the Capi tol highway to the sign "Dosch road" just this side of the overhead crossing at Bertha- Turn to the right onto the Dosch road and follow the pave ment. That is the new highway. This highway is now in prime con dition all the way to Hillsboro. Be yond that town the road to Forest lirove is not paved as yet, but it is an oil-bound macadam in first-class condition for travel. 1901. He Is now 36 years of age. Afer finishin-g his schooling In N'e braska Mr. Morden was employed as construction engineer by the O.-W. R. & N. company, the Oregon Electric, Oreeon Trunk and North Bank rail roads. He was in charge of the con struction of the Oregon Electric line from Salem to Albany, and was later transferred to the headquarters of the Northern Pacific at St. Paul and supervised the construction of the headquarters building there. He entered the army In May, 1917, with the rank of major. His first military task was the construction of the Camp Custer cantonment. He was then transferred to Philadelphia In the position of constructing quarter master and given the rank of lieutenant-colonel. In Philadelphia he was in charge of the construction of the inland and overseas depots and was then placed in charge of the Green wich Point project. Thou Shalt Not Kill" Held to Ap ply to Executions Under "Man- Made" Laws as Well as Murder. PORTLAND. Nov. 27. fTo fn Krti- tor.) Whether he be rhrlntlin r theist, agnostic or devout believer. any man must admit that the Bible is accepted as pointing a hiirher -orf. or morals than that espoused bv any ther known book; and that it is used the administration of th most sacred ami solemn of oaths. This woum indicate a preponderance of pinion In arjDroval of th. Rihi nnH its high ideals and also an acceptance, generally speaking, of. its truth and lvine origin. Granting this, as a Dremise. then ow can the same bodv of men who thus accept and use it, band together unaer me name of law (purely man made) and defy the Biblical admoni- lon. Thou shalt not kill"? Nowhere lse on its pages, to my knowledge, oes the Bible modifv this statement by any "ifs" nor "in-cas. -of." It does not say that if John Smith goes forth and shoots Bill Jones with 3Z Winchester, in defiance of cus tom and order, that then Jake Brown ' and Hank Green and Bud Bilkin. et al. may lorm a committee under the sanction of other citizens and, drag ging the offending John Smith to a igh-renced yard may there proceed at leisure to beat him to a gory pulp witn ciuos. as just punishment for the first killing. Neither does it stipulate that man may kill provided he selects more re fined (7) methods. With a bluegeon r bare hands, face to face and to the death; or deftly and neatly at the end t a hemp rope, with the eyes of the victim blinded with a black rag. and his feet securely bound, a physician standing near to count off the seconds while the last convulsions are taking place Does it really matter which method is employed? Murder is mur der; killing is killing. Man-laws mar be made to sanction God's law (if the Bible be such) forbids. The meth od is a matter of taste, hanging Ms done by a somewhat exclusive crowd; murder is usually an individual af fair, done in private. Far be it from me to go on record as excusing crime or withholding pun ishment. My sentiment is not slushy. The place for murderers is in a safe prison and there to the end of their life, save in the rare cases where in nocence after incarceration may be proved.' This protection is due the public and should be demanded of public officials, and it should be made a criminal offense for executives with such authority to liberate a murderer except ' In the most extraordinary cases. It is nat the abolishment of capital punishment, but the known leniency in dealing with criminals, that has made crime-aspirants less fearful of consequences. 'Let a life sentence mean a life-sentence not a f ew. years' detention. Let each man take a sober and hon est Inventory of his own feelings and see what motive actuates his cry for capital punishment when a murder near at hand is committed. How often the exclamation heard from both men and women, in sucn nours as those following the Claremont mur ders.- recently: I hope they get them!" Or, "I'd like to see them strung up! Is it a benign desire to protect the public or an inborn impulse for re taliation and vengeance, tnat prompts those who clamor lor the gallows and its ghastly office? Cruelty never made men better, and it never will; barbarity wllL never lessen crime. The desire for vengeance is another murderous impulse. In the long and dreary years Denina Drison walls, with never a gleam of hope for release, a man may repent a thousand times and finally make nonce with God: meanwhile the pub lic has been amply protected from his presence and offenses. The mentally infirm, and degenerates, neea specim inta and doctors more than do any other class of invalids. But the gal lows again in Oregon?
