Failure to properly support the
State University would just I1
bo attiibuted to indifference
towards educational interests in
this state.
The ,state Legislature at iis
last session displayed a proper
spirit f liberally towards the
" State UniversiU' byv tlie appro
priation of 125,000 annually
for two 3Tears, for the support of
that institution. That sum is
not too much if Oregon wants
its State University to lake
rank among the universities of
the Northwest. The state of
"Washingt n has jusx appro
priated $225,000 per year for
,thp maintenance of its state
universitj. Idaho gives $125,
uuu per year to its state uni
versity, while California
appropriates a million annua.
In some localities, however,
a movement is on foot to invoke
the referendum to defeat the
appropriation. The movement
;is in our opinion ill-advised and
ill-timed, and if the appropria
tion for the State University
goes to a vote before the people
it should certainly be sus
tained. The state should sup
'23ort her chief educational
institution! in a manner befitting
U progressive , people, which
.will be permitted by the appro
priation passed by the last
Legislature.
HORSES ARE IN DEMAND
The demand for draft horses
.both in city and coiritry dis
tricts has not been so great in
many years and, of course, the
price of standard animals is
high. Buyers have bought all
the horses they can and are at
their wit's end in a vain effort
to supply the maiket. The
Eastern Oiegon and Eastern
Washington farms and ranges
have been cleared of all the
disirable horses that are for
' sale and seuond-grade animals
. aie being bought at good prices.
Tho-e who have predicted
that the advent of the gasoline
Jmggy and freight truck and
electiic cars would sound the
death-knell and relegate horses
to the history of the past, will
have to revise their calculations.
The horse can do work that
man has so far been unable to
invent a machine to do. Like
the skilled human haud,he will
never be entirely useless.
The reconstruction work in
San Francisco is said to kill or
fatally injure 15 horses every
day. Half-buried nails, irons,
"broken glass and other debris
left in the Hack of the awful
conflagration which destroyed
that city a little over a' year
ago, pierce his faithful feet
while he assists in clearing up

ing several districts together a
central high school may be
formed to be supported by the
several districts so grouped
together. To form a union

must be prepaied in the dis
tricts to be united, addressed to
the boundary board.
These petitions ask the

a majority vote must be cast in
all the districts. If one of the
districts votes against a union
it is enough to defeat the whole
measure. The law provides
that where two third-class dis
tricts unite the. school boards
become the governing power.
If three thirdcl.isa districts
unite, the Board of Control is
composed of the chairmen of
the respective boards. If any
other combination is formed

Under tie law us interpreted
by a Pendleton jury, it ia "open
season" for the tin-horn gam
bier all the yeararound. Whilr
that was not the phraseology of
i he' verdict, it is the eftVctof the
inter)retation of ihe law by
ihat particular jury, ifgenerallj
applied. And yet, ihe vt-rdici
of the jury and the acquittal ol
McManus is generally approved
throughout the state. In Pen
dleton the verdict is said to bn
regarded as a decided victor'
for the better element of the
town, in their fight' with the
gambling element. It is un
questionably line that had the
victim of MeMauus's gun been a
reputable citizen, his slayer
would not have escaped with
out some punishment. But it
is equally true that had the
viclim been a reputable citizen,
Ihe cncumstances which led up
to ihe killing would not have
occurred. Under our law it is
as great a crime to kill a tin
horn gambler as it is an Episco
palian bishop, but juries
seldom regard it so.
