Mr M lil Scarbrough delivered a pre
pared address, subject: "Should the

lege be combined?" Mr A A Cleve
land's subject for an extemporary ad
dress was: "The Life of a Senior at the
UofO" His remarks were quite In
teresting. A very Interest lug achate followed
on the question, "Uesolved, that
vivisection, as practiced by the stu
dents of the world, is inexcusable."
Mr C C McCornack led for the atllrma
ative aud was assisted by Messrs
Boone and Spencer. Messrs McArthur,
Angel and Hooker, supported tlio neg
ative. The affirmative contended
that yivi-section was unnecessarily
cruel and that it did not uccouiplitdi
tbo desired result-, and, as it is pruc
t ced by students, it i demoralizing.
The negative contended that many
important discoveries were made by
vivi-section. That many nperitluns
were painless, and that vivi-B.ctors
were not unnecessarily cruel, and that
the practice was not demoralizing, or
immoral. Tho hinging point of the
decision was that vivisection, al
though a benefit when carried on prop
erly by skilled sclentiiic men, wus not
profitable when carried on by students
us it is today. After thoroughly re
viewing the arguments, thecliuir de
cided in favor r.the negative.

The "taupu" is always a young and
good looking girl, generally tho daughter
or adopted daughter of the chief. Mho Is

Inhalillaiits, who snpply her with fisul,

In which slit) Is c.vp.eti.l to dispense bos
pit.ility to all linportaiit visitors.
Three or four attendants aro always
with her, whiAc duty it Is nut only to serve

so that, apart from nny considerations of
abstract morality, sho Is looked upon as a

Should she, however, yield to thu fascina

stripped of her filinplo llnery and degraded

and tho moro adventures of tho kind ho

Musio In Our I'ubllo Sjclioula.
An eminent choir leader, In talking of
church muslii tho other day, remarked that
If muslii wero Intelligently taught In our
public schools there would bo less bungling
among singers and less vnliiablu time
wasted when tlio inortt advanced lessons
becanii) necessary. "Theru is little use,"
lio continued, "in any singer wasting his
or her tlmo In expensive Instruction whilo
theru Is any Haw In thu rending or rudi
ments. A career based oil such lines Is mi
tip bill undertaking from tho start, lie
foro tho ambitious singer attempts any
thing In tho musical lino thorn should bo
considerable prolloloncy In reading and
familiarity with nil of tho preliminary
work, und this may bo learned of any
singing master in a ruasonablu tliu and
at a small cost."
All public sellouts should touch tho elu
incuts of musio and that with thorough
ness, ll should boas much a matter of
course for thu pupil to know his or In r
notes and to be expert In scales ami chords
us to know tho lei tors of the alphabet mid
how to spell "baker." Hueh knowledge

As a letter from W S U'Uen, un
til lit.'ly chairman of the Clacka
mas county l'eoples central com
mittee, has been given wide cir:u
latioii through the Oregonian we
publish the other side showing the
position U'Ken stands in at his own
home as voiced by tho l'eoples
party paper of that county, the
Oregon City Herald:
"In tins issue wo publish the res
iguation of Chairman U'Ken with a
very long and 'crushing' argument
to sustain his position, and through
which he evidently expects to
swing tin committee into lino and
hive his resignation declined, and
his domiuecring leadership en
dorsed. His resignation s'.ould be
promptly a vepted hy the commit
tee. "Mr l"Kcn has not been usked
to run n fusion campaign. lie ia
simply asked to abido by the prin
ciple of direct legislation for which
he has dono such valiant service in
the past. No populist has a right
to say what tho result of the vote
will bo and, certainly, every popu
list should use his inlluence in
every honorable ay until the vote
is taken to bring about the result
he believes best, but bulldozing
and domineering and chicanery
are methods which illy will become
a populist. There is to be neither
a fusion nor an anti-fuiion cam
paign until this qusstion has been
lecided by tho voters themselves.
"U'Uen's codicil to his resigna
tion is devoted to the MitchoII-
Pennoyer faction and tho Simon-
Corbelt faction in the republican
party, Ilo is very familiar and
deeply interested in this 'factional
light but, in our humble judgment,
hud ho aud Mr Young beeu less
fimiliar with Mr Simon and taken
less interest in the fight within the
republican party's ranks and de
voted more time io tho upbuilding
of tho people's party and its prin
ci plea tho populists at least would
have been better oil today.
" There are two sides ot this ques
tion of fusiou. While a portion of
Mr U'Ucn's argument against it is
true, yet much he says is mislead
ing aud wholly insupportable
That lho republican party is divid
ed hopelessly dividod ia Oregon
we grant. Hut what is ol more
importance to u is the fact that
populi-tts are also divided. To as
sist ono taction of the g. o. p. in
liiU state in its ellorts to down the
other is not our business but how
to everlastingly bury "'lh of thorn
out ol siiht ought to be our 'para
mount issue' just now. How are
we going to do it; by pulling apart
or by pulling together?
"Our state committee in its wis
dom solved tho problem, if it is
possible to do so. 'We are evident
jy divided upon the question of
"union or no union," said the com
mitteo. 'All together we can win,
divided we shall fail, Lot us refer
this wholo matter to the boys in
the trenches who must do the vot
ing and then abido by their de
cision. If they say 'middle of the
road let every man of us fall in
line. But Mr U'llen fears the re
sult of direct legislation and pro
ceeds to bolt his party and repudi
ate liis 'one-plank platform' for
fear tbe people haven't sense onough
to govern themselves. He is per
fectly willing to lead his psople
but not willing to follow. He has
builded a machino on which he is
now preparing to break hii own
nock, or else ho is insincere in the
unfortunate position he has taken.
In either case ho can be spared as
chairman of tho people's party in
Clackamas county.
"It is with the deepest regrot we
fed compelled to speak thus plainly
of a man we have always esteemed
so highly and have fought for so
faithfully, but, forbearanco has
ceased to bo a virtue. A man who
will repudiato his own faith and
ondeavor to destroy his own party,
invites the suspicion ami compels
tho resentment of his heretofore
most faithful friend."
