The two Hungarian dances of Brahma so welf known and yet always popular and not so easy to play either, were delightfully done. Number 8 is the best known and the swine and rhythm were so well sustained that a good many feet were going. The sixth with more slow movements and an occasional dashing finish was eharmiiig.

'.. ; First Oregon should adopt a perma nent and liberal policy toward her edu ratlonal Institutions. It la gratifying to nvone Interested in education .to know that the Stat Agricultural college 1 on i sound financial basis. It is a ahathe to a prosperous commonwealth that its ' state university Is being weakened by , s narrow and cenurlous oolicy. The oo- portunity now presents .Itself for the ' people of Oregon to declare their belief In higher education. They should do so. Second The high' school system of Oregon ha come to tay. It has proved Its right to live by giving boy and girls could receive only by going to educa tional center at considerable exoense.' To have effective blgh school wa must , liave well-trained teachers. .The state should provide a school equipped to fur " riah strong instructor for her high schools. Many of our high school pupil are ambitious to get a university train ing. Their aspiration ahould not be t smothered, neither should It be neoes- ary for them to go to some other state j to lino, a wen-equippeu state wcnooi. ' The state university has aided largely In developing th high school system. It Yih been largely Instrumental in organ. ltinga state hlah school debating league. These are good deeds. It hand should be streni'-theuea ln this kind or . work. inira xne state university is a warm friend of tha common school. It ha advanced the interests of the pub lic school whenever It could do so. To argue otherwise is contrary to facta. Its own existence depends on the public school. This is the source from which It must draw It new stream of life. Many of those who are opposing the appropriation appeal o prajuaice uy ae held and given to the common schools. ? 'he entire appropriation scattered ever ha state would give very little aid . to tn puoiio scnoois. une inriuence tna University ha had and will have In lifting tha common schools to. a higher plane 1 worth vastly mora than the money outlay. Tha higher school fur nish a summit to which . everv true teacher delight to lead tha pupil. There are a few, warm friends of the com mon school who will - vote against the appropriation for -the university, but we own higher interests: and mark this. believe they are working against their very opponent of a progressive public school policy is lined up. against the university. The friend of the oomtnon school who are fighting the university are with the wrong crowd. They should come over with those who- favor a pro gressive school policy from the kinder garten to tne university. Fourth The appropriation of I12S. COO annally is not excessive. Salaries In many instance are now unpaid. This 1 unjust New equipment is con tinually itoeaea. laboratories should be supplied with the latest apparatus.

It must be generously ' supported. The board of regent are men of Integrity and busi ness capacity.

Moore Starts Movement to Prevent Self Destruction Money Will Be Advanced to Fight Suicide. New York, May 6 Aroused to action by the alarming; and aver Increasing number of suicides In New York recent ly, a number of young men and women, wall known tor their philanthropic and religious work, are banding; themselves together to discourse self riantrurttnn The person responsible for the move- meat, and possibly the most enthusias- tlc or them all, ia Miss Helen M. Moore. 01 no idisi iriy-econa street, an. in structor of Sunday school teachers. The aim of Miss Moore's Anti-Suicide society, differing so far from that of the Salvation army, which 'has already made some steps In thai direction,- is to prevent despondency rather than to re claim those already in despair. After a sufficient number of members have been enrolled they intend to raise a fund to be used at the discretion of the society to prevent people, especially young peo ple, from becoming downhearted to the point of taking their own lives. Thia Is the sggestion of Miss Gertrude Rela, of 106 Beech street, Richmond Hill. "I have considered and discussed the astounding number of suicides many times," said Miss Rels yesterday, "and It has seemed to me that the whole problem haa no solving until we can convince people of the utter cowardice of it all. The rush of the times the never-ceasing hurry and bustle of tbi modern New York, which is merciless in ltd demands, the heartlessness which will allow only the survival of the fit test is to blame for the deplorable condition which day after day drives some poor, despondent, hopeless, crea ture to suicide. "W Axe Swamped by Mission." "We are ewamped by rescue leagues and missions all for the reclaiming of people who need never have been In the position in which they tlnd themselves. But where, in all New York, with Its millions spent yearly 4a charity and for philanthropic purposes, have we an or ganization for preventing the suicides which are of daily occurrence appal lingly frequent of young people tired of the" unequal struggle, in which they have had no helping hand and where no one will give them a chance? "This, then, is my idea: Why not ob tain a fund, from which young men and women, without too much ref tape, can draw certain sums, with the smallest possible amount of interest, to be paid back as they are able. It seems to me that the chances that anything would be lost would be small, and that the benefit would be large and substan tial. I do not belleva that It la tha happy, proficient worker who evef thinks of suicide." Mis Moore said: "I am simply appalled when I read, day after day, the notices of suicides which the newspapers carry. Every day it ts on the increase, and no effort seems to be made by any church or anybody to stop It, or. to Influence would-be suicides against self-destruction. True, the Salvation Army made some sort of move in that direction, and 1 am sure, accomplished and accom plishes much good among the class of people with whom its members come in contact But why would not an organi sation on a broader basis ,an organiza tion wherein all the churche and church workera might unite, be of vastly greater benefit T .

Enlisted men of the two - battalions of the Twenty fourth Infantry, negro, stationed .at Sackett' Harbor, 11 miles from here, openly announced today that they will boycott Watertown. They say that when they need anything that they can not buy .In the military village, they will wait until they can get two tor three days off and then go to Syracuse The hatred of Watertown started Im mediately after the arrival of the regi ment when signs were posted In drink ing places that prices were subject to change without notice. The object of this was to advance the price for negroes. To. them the price of beer wa 60 cent and whiskey cost $1. Added to this was the breaking of tha glasses in the presence of the negro soldiers. The regimental band waa brought here when Governor Hughes waa the recent guest of honor of the chamber of com merce at It annual banquet. When some of the member went to get a drink they received their first notice of the great advance In price; Very few of the negroes visit this city and Uttle trading ia being done here by them. The merchants In the village of Beck ett's Harbor declare that no regiment waa ever stationed there that spent more money, nor wa there ever a more or derly outfit In the post than tha negro regiment. Not the slightest disturbanoe haa been made here by any of the sol diers, and not one haa been arrested for intoxocation, while a number were al ways arrested when former regiment were here Immediately after payday.
