Magical Influence of Universities
on the People of the West
Are you a pessimist? Read
the studies of the people of the
interior states that E. A. Ross,
professor of sociology at the Un
iversity of Wiscosin, is publish
ing. They render it difficult if
not impossible to fail to become
an ardent and chronic optimist.
Mr. Ross' account of the state
universities and of their influ
ence is epical in its sweep of
vision. He shows that the west
ern idea that the higher educa
tion that forma a sure means of
social progress is helping to
bring about a greater equality of
opportunity among Americans.
The states of the Mississippi
valley and also of the Pacific
coast are, through free and uni
versal education, lengthening the
cords of democracy and at. the
same time strengthening the.
stakes of popular self-government.

Professor Ross does not hesi
tate to avow that "the state's
shouldering higher education as
a part of its duty to posterity
has enabled the middle west so
soon to overtake the east."
Watching the transformation"
of the interior by the universi
ties, looks to the keen-eyed pro
fessor like the growth of a man
go under the hands of a Hindu
juggler. Their influence on ed
ucation has been magical. High
schools have become able to have
graduates of colleges as their
teachers and principals and even
grammar schools are going large
ly into the hands of the- colleg-ians.-:
This change as a rule
works to the benefit of the
schools and their pupils.
The men and women who are
streaming- from the . 'varsities
and colleges of the interior have
raised the standards of their
communities preceptibly since
1890. Rural leadership is pas
sing to an alert, pogressive.
studying type molded in the
technical schools, as those of ag
riculture, and determined to keep
abreast of the world's progress.
As these educated men and wo
men take hold of public affairs
they are securing social, political
and industrial reforms that 20
years ago seemed unattainable
before the millennium.
The western university is the
servant of American democracy.
Spokesman-Review.
wih ihoW own immemorable law
of self preservation and family
protection. The only apparent
motive of the Portland tragedy
was the mere chance that the
victims might have a few dollars
in their pockets. The Oregon
system and other progressive
measures to which we point with
pride, cannot bring credit to the
state when such local affairs as
the protection of citizens and pro
porties from the whims and pas
sions of ex-convicts and money
mad fiends cannot be successfully
coped with.
Let us hope that the capture, con
viction and punishment, as prov
ided by law, shall be meted out
to the Oswego road murderer
with all the dispatch that the law
will permit of. We hope the con
viction of the guilty party will
be clear and convincing, that tne
judge who tries the case will see
that no technicalities shall pre
vail to delay the operation of the
law, and that no governor will
feel it his duty to use his power
of pardon, or reprieve any sen
tence which the trial court may
pass.
WATCHED
LOVERS
By JOHN W. JONES
Let the Law Prevail
It is devoutly to be hoped that
the Multnomah authorities have
made no mistake in the capture
of the automobile murderer of
last Friday night. The press of
the country has been inclined to
be bitter in its' remarks regarding
the lack of respect shown for the
Virginia la"w, as evidenced by the
recent Hillville tragedy. The
family feuds which have existed
in the Alleghany mountains of
Virginia, Kentucky, North Car
olina arid Tennessee are but the
result of traditions and instinct
that the simple people of those
isolated regions have known for
generations, since the establish
ment of the first homes there.
It has been their mode of living
since the beginning.
' Terrible though that tragedy was
it was no worse than the murder
of two young men in the Portland
suburbs last week right under
the eyes of the law, The motive
of the Hillville tragedy was the
rescue of frierds, or as the feud
ists would say, the simple rev
enge on the law for interfering
Now that April 2 has come and
passed, and the base ball season
is at hand, the box score will be
given first attention over politics
the Mexican rebellion, the south
pole and all other matters which
have been in daily use simply as
fillers since the close of the 1911
season.
Card of Thanks
We wish to express our sincere
thanks to our friends and neigh
bors (especially Mrs. Lemon and
Dr. Ramsey) for their kindness
and hospitality shown us during
the illness in our home. Hope
they will remember that Christ
said, "In as much as ye have
done it unto the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it
unto me."

DEPUTY HAHN FACES
SERIOUS CHARGES
Metollus Saloon Man Defies Deputy
Sheriff to Interfere with Poker
Game
Unqualified accusations that
deputy-sheriff Nick Hahn .has
taken hush money from oper
ators 'of poker games in Metolius,
and defying the deputy to inter
fere with a game conducted in
the saloon in the opera house
building in Metolius, were the
developments of a raid conducted
last week by deputy Hahn and
two assistants. The raid fol
lowed the movement on the part
of the Metolius Commercial Club
to prohibit gambling in the town.
Reports have been current for
several months that owners of
saloons in Metolius have paid
the deputy sheriff certain sums
of money as protection agaist ar
rest, and late the charge has
been made so openly that the
people of Metolius feel that Hahn
must either take action toward
silencing the' reports by prose
cution of those responsible for
their circulation, or appear
guilty, says the Metolius Central
Oregonian, of the charges made
against him.

nicate with my love, who was watched
hy her mother for the express purposu
of preventing my doing so.
Helen my Helcu-there is only one
Helen for mo hi tho world was nn
heiress nnd wns to be given only to n
husband who could match her fortune
with one of his own. Helen wns nt nn
nge where the feminine henrt is enslly
moved wheu I was thrown In her wny.
1 wns youug myself, too young to con
sider her fortune. I was altogether ab
sorbed lu herself. It would not hnve
made uny difference to me If she hadn't
a cent, and 1 don't suppose she stopped
to consider whether I was rich or poor.
The only spur for both of us was that
we were not expected to love each
other.
We were conscious of the fact that
Helen's mother did not leave us alone
together a moment. I suppose she real
ized that her daughter, .like most girls
of her, age. was ready to fall In love
with the first young man with whom
she was brought Into contact nud tho
mother did not propose to take nny
chances. Circumstances placed me un
der the same roof with them for n
week's vacation, and during that time
1 was to be given no time to work up
a love affair.
Helen was tho most obedient, de
mure, retiring creature In the world.
To look at her when her mother was
present-and she was nlwnys present
one wouldn't suppose butter would
melt In her mouth. The first evening
we were together the three of us play
ed cards. The second evening I was
out most of the dny the mother read
to us from not a love story. Oh. no.
There was not n bit of love In the
story, nor wns It lu Helen's and my
glances that Is. we were unconscious
that It was. What was rend to us
was a report of missionary work In
India.
By the time the third evening came
around tho lady, not having noticed
any evidences of Interest between her
daughter nnd me. was content to oc
cupying herself with some sewing and
permitted us to talk to each other. 1
took up a book from the table, near
which we all sat. It was a work call
ed "Letters to Young People." 1
Klanced over a few pages and spoke
of how helpful such a book would be
to so many growing Into manhood and
womanhood, entering upon the most
critical period of their lives without
the valuable experience of their elders.
In a letter upon "Obedience" I left
the Imprint of my thumbnail upon the
two words "sweet" and "henrt" nnd.
handing the book to nelen. asked her
If she did not think the advice given
in the letter very well expressed. She
took the book and presently returned
It to me open at a letter on "Filial Re
sponslblllty." I looked for thumbnail
marks and found them. They read.
"Am I really that to you?"
The good mother sat quietly over her
work, well content with the way she
was keeping two tender vines from
intertwining, while we were writing
our cipher love messages. They were
very short and very simple, nothing
like the protestations of lover In
books, but there was In them the very
honey of love for us. However, we
dared not work our scheme long lest
the watcher'B attention be excited. At
10 o'clock sharp Helen was ordered
up to bed and I, having no way to
amuso myself below, went to my
room.
I sat up till midnight writing on the
backs of my visiting cards l had
with me. in letters lurge enough to be
read across a room, love messages to
be used the next evening. When that
evening arrived and we assembled in
the library I said I felt dull and would
amuse myself with a book. I found
the best light behind tho. mother,
though I faced the daughter. We bad
scarcely got comfortably settled be
fore I whipped out my cards and held
otie after another so that Helen could
see it. Her blushes soon frightened
mo off, however, but not before. 1 bad
communicated the fact that I would
love her for ever and ever and if I lost
her I would perish.
I found seven days quite enough to
arrange an elopement. During this
time I had never been alone with the
girl a minute and had never spoken
a word of love to her. True. I bad
once taken a fearful risk. When wo
were passing out to dinner we drop
ped behind her mother, and I seized
the opportunity to take a kiss. That
kiss, though hasty, was nectar for the
gods, the first sip of wine, the acme
of bliss.
Well, the upshot of it all was thnt
at the end of tho week wo were both
missing. Wo went to a clergyman,
were married and returned to my
wife's homo. Her mother looked nt us
fn wonder. Tho first words sho utter
ed were, "now In the world did you do
tho courting?"
She was obliged to make the best of
ft. The marrlago turned out no worse
and no better than tho majority, But
thnt was luck.
Years after our mnrrlnge wo con
fessed to my mother-in-law how wo
had begun our courtship by pressing
our thumb nails under the words to
make it message and continued It by
my exhibiting cards behind her back
with lovo words written oa thorn.
