Wai.'i KiiriLLK, Or., Juue S3, I8l7, J'.lmtok Ul.'AKLi: From whence eomi tl.ln rrylng demand for a new court lion? What Utlie power be hind the lhrm tlittt is impellii g the county court toward this project? It is utterly arnuzlu . to the average tax payer of I,uue county to read the often appearing riiitjt in the count v papers regarding the nroiKwed building of new court bouse. One paper ays, "tulk of a new court hou-ie;" th next laeue says, "plans have been sub mitted;" the next Issue says, ''.So and so Is the lowest bidder, etc.;" and all this time, there has been no published notice, either anking for plant or bids for contract, and what is most cur prihlng, uot a single county paper has yet said a word against the attempt at iijipremtliig upon the tax-burdened people of thi couuty, at this tinie, sucu an additional and grlevlous bur deu. Upon the other hand all that has been said through the press has had a leaning toward the project. The (ii'AKUot the 12th of June says: "The citizens generally will rejoice that tho building Is now assured." Mr IM i tr will you please give the readeis of the Of A ki the source of youi Infor mation, that there Is such general re joicing? The wiiter has certainly not come In contact with any such jollity among the citizens he has met. On the contrary, to a man, all to whom I have spoken are opposed to the schbin ..:.!. ..: i ...:n kindly publish the same will, the B.! lUll" tt1n,,.,,nn '. "t 'deput". 0ur ,lollor.b,e MBrelarjr of . signatures, and let tho people judge if the charges therein are trilling? That they are true there can bo no doubt. Tho character of tho sig natures is a guaranteo of that fact. These are tho first charges that the citizens of Kugene have ever made against any professor of tho uni versity since its foundation over 20 years ngo, and as wo are serious wo ask for them a respectful hearing, Tho petition is us follows: "To tho Honorable board of lie gents of tho University of Oregon (iuullumen: As citizens of the Mute of Orrgon, having at heart the best interests of the stule universi ty, permit us to call your ulleution to u mailer in connection with the management of said institution which, in our opinion, demands immediutu attention at your hands. "Wo fully realize the serious na ture of the charges we ure about to make, but being absolutely sutisfied of its truth, most rcspcctufully ask you to consider tho sumo in the spirit its im)ortunco deserves. " We anserlthat no man whose truthfulness is held in suspicion by uny considerable number of his associates is lit to be at tho head of a gio it institution like tho Universi ty of Oregon. "Wo charge that among all the studeiiti and all the prolessors t the university of Oregon, thu person hearing tho worst reputation for truth und veracity is Dr Chapman its prehident. If you will make inquiry among students and pro fessors and husincHg men of the town, you will find tho sentiment overwhelming that Dr Chapman is utterly unworthy of ladief; and specific uels can bo shown iu such numbers that you will be driven to tho conclusion that ho has earned his reputation. Dr Chapman is a polished flatterer und adroit in triguer, holds a high position, and as a necessary consequence lias some friends who may fail to see his delects; but wo think it doubt fid if ever these will say thut they have never heard his truthfulness called in question. Without the confidence of students, professors and the general community, and with only such respect shown him ub comes by virtue of his high po sition, his power for good is nulli fied, and his moral influence is wanting. His retention places a premium on llattery, intrigue, de ception und untruthfulness. " I'lio interest of the institution und the good of the state demand that his place he tilled by a man of unsullied reputation, one not only entilhd to confidence und respect, but worthy of emulation. "liclicviug that no amount of in tellectual attainments can compen sate for ilt tieieii,y in truthful ness, und actuated solely for the good of the institution, we most respectfully and earnestly usk your honoi able body to take such action iu thu premises us the exi gencies of tho situation demand.
