tunitr for the movement against the Chamberlain bill to gain headway.
Pubjic sentiment in this state ought to try. and repair the damage
that has been done. The up-state press owes -the children of .Oregon,
now and hereafter, the duty of struggling for. 40 per cent of the grant
land surplus to go to the irreducible school fund of the state. . The
metropolitan press is under the same obligation. ; ' . ; :
If public bodies in Oregon ever had reason for action, they have
it in the obligation that is upon every one . of them to declare for the
original figures of the Chamberlain bill. If anybody should know tnst
an enlarged school fund which is, in fact, a rural credits fend, is a
desirable kind of public asset, chambers of commerce ought to know
it. If any institution or person in Oregon ought to be fighting for the
plan of adding to the permanent assets of the Oregon school fund, the
chambers of commerce and other public bodies ought to do it -
' Ever since last June, the great question of disposing of the public's
portion of the grant lands has been under discussion. Early efforts
were made by "the push" to divert the public's interest in the lands
into railroad and other private ownership. Railroad lawyers and
"kept" men managed to confuse the popular view as to what the de
cision meant. Trader the Day leadership the Salem grant land "con
ference" by its inexcasable resolutions which made no demand for any
part of the lands to be saved for public purposes in Oregon, did its
part to befuddle the public mind.
At Washington, everything was favorable for a splendid adjustment
to have been made. The administrative departments were favorable to
a plan of giving Oregon a liberal share. There was a prevalent viw
that congress had long ago set aside the lands for the settlement and
development of Oregon, a fact that even the leaders of the present
movement to reduce the Oregon allowance cannot deny.
But the fight for the reduction has developed. Oregon has dallied
too long. Some members of the Oregon delegation have been coquetting
with impossible and foolish plans. There are ominous signs that the
cut may be made, and Oregon suffer a loss of a good many millions
of dollars.
If there are those Sn Oregon who want a larger state school fund,
they ought to stand up and be counted. If there was ever reason for
Oregon public sentiment of that kind to make itself felt at Washing

TRAINING UP LAWYERS
D
EAN RICHARDS of the Wis
consin university's law school
has published an article in
one of the law magazines to
show us what progress legal edu
cation is making. So far as num
bers are concerned it is advancing
as rapidly as one could wish, per
haps a trifle more rapidly. The
Increase of law students has been
75 per cent in the last fifteen
years, from 12,000 to almost 22,
000. . Many new law schools have
been founded in the same time.
We now enjoy 120 of these insti
tutions.
Dean Richards says that most of
the recent ones have been founded
purely, for commercial purposes
He describes them pointedly aa
"cram schools for bar examina-
the bench. For these same tricky
lawyers are the material from
which judges are sometimes
chosen.
Something more than a longer
and better course in college and
law school is necessary to reform
the legal profession. There is
need of better formal training and
far more need of training that is
not merely formal but deals with
substantial realities. Law books
and law lectures deal with abstrac
tions for the most part. As Dean
Richards remarks, legal studies
now-a-days are absorbed in
"cases," which means word study.
It exercises the same faculties of
the mind as the old schoolmen em
ployed in their speculations on the
ology and Aristotle. The conse
quence is that, far more than any
other of our professions, the law
yers ar medieval-minded. They
are occupied with forms to the ex
clusion of realities. Life does not
concern them so much as certain
abstract formulas about life which
have been Imbedded in their -musty
books for hundreds of years.
President G. Stanley Hall has
often said that theological educa
tion ought to begin with a good.
stiff course in natural science. Such
course is even more necessary
for lawyers than for ministers and
it should be supplemented with a
still stlffer course in economics
We do not mean the dead, laisser
falre economics of the medieval
zing school. We mean the Tjy-
namic economics which deals in a
vital way with living men and cur
rent problems.
It has been said by observers
who should know what they are
talking about, that the supreme
court decision gainst the former
Income tax law was made simply
because the judges were. ignorant
of human conditions in the United
States. They drew their decree
out of books and not out of life.
The same criticism has been made
upon -the old decisions against
shorter working days and better
wages.
Before we can expect the people
to trust the lawyers and respect
the courts it must be made pretty
plain that the profession deserves
confidence and that the judges
dwell In the modern world instead
of lingering in the cloistral shades
of the dark ages.

into a man's head to enable him to
answer routine examination ques
tions. Of the deep principles of
the law, of history and economics,
they do not even pretend to teach
anything.
Dean Richards ascribes the pop-
mar distrust of the legal profession
to these "half-baked" products of
the commercialized law schools.
They are ignorant of human
knowledge and they are bankrupt
In morals. So what can you expect
of them but dishonest trickery?
This is all very convincing, but in
our modest view the trouble goes
deeper.

DAVID GARRICK
T
HIS year, which is the three
hundredth since Shakespeare
died, is the two hundredth
since David Garrick died. The
coincidence is notable, for Garrick
was probably the greatest of Shake
spearean actors besides b-ing the
first in their long line. For a cen
tury after his death the kii.g of
dramatists was more or less neg
lected. The rise of Puritanism
was not favorable to his vogue. The
parliamentary revolution gave peo
pie sometnmg else than plays to
think of and when the drama re
gained its place nnder the second
Charles the new playwrights "knew
not Joseph." They were a lewd
crew whose names are still remem
bered while their plays are for
gotten by all but. the learned.
Congreve and Wycherley ' are bet
ter known than most of them.
Toward the middle of the eigh
teenth century when David Gar
rick went up to London with Sam
uel Johnson to seek his fortune,
Shakespeare was little ' more than
a shadowy 'memory. VGarrick had
no "stage training." He evolved
the art of acting' from his own
brain much as the fable says Mi
nerva sprang full armed from the
head of Jove. Almost from the
first he played the finest parts and
his success was immediate. tf
A QUACK PUNISHED
GOOD story about a cancer
"doctor" comes to us by way
of The Kansas City Star.
The learned gentleman In
question professed to "cure can
cers" by means of the usual salves,
lotions and ointments. He had
some magical compound whose ap
plication would relieve the sufferer
with wonderful celerity and leave
no scars. Incidentally it emptied !
the patient's pocketbook, but that
did not matter as long as the
'doctor's" was filled.
But the disease was not cured.
After spending his money and al-
owlng ..he cancer to progress past
all remedy, the patient finally had
to face the miserable truth that
he had been deceived and swindled.
All "doctors" who advertise to
cure cancers are deceivers and
swindlers. There is absolutely no
exception. The particular quack
mentioned by The Star was con
victed of imposture and sent to
prison. Let us hope he will stay
there a long while and be joined
soon by a goodly company of his
unscrupulous brethren.
There is no cure for cancer ex
cept the surgeon's knife. Other j
treatment sometimes helps a super-'
now corporation and is officered
by Daniel Martin, president; William
T. Harrison, secretary, and Fred
Hesse, vice president and manager.

The buildings of the company cover

yet the concern is hampered for room.

extremely doubtful whether there will
be enough volunteers to meet the ex

and if the volunteer system falls we
shall hear much more insistent re
quests from army circles , that the
United States shall adopt some form
of obligatory military service. Our
whole military structure is about to
undergo a thorough change, for bet
ter or for worse. It is the duty of

simple for the rank and file, and aft-sr
the first few months it is a horrible
bore to many men. The army ought
to be given a more vital Interest in
life than mere training to commit
legalized and organized murder. That
is a demoralising ambition, a poor
star to hitch even a mule team to.

army of many thousand vigorous
youths, let it be an army of service
to the country. It could devote part
of Its abundance of time to building
railroads in Alaska or elsewhere, re
claiming desert lands, reforesting our
large western tracts, protecting the

ends his career.
Malaria does not pass dlrectl
from one human subject to an
other. It is carried by mosquitoes.
The mosquito called "anopheles"
is the principal if not the only
offender. This pernicious creature
sucks malaria into its syBtem with
the blood from its human prey
and when it bites into a fresh man
it inoculates him with malaria.
This is one of the many examples
of that beautiful Interdependence
which pervades nature.

Anyone familiar with army life
knows that the soldier in time of
peace has a fairly easy time. Soma
are worked quite hard by severe drill
masters, but the main body of men
are not required to use as 'much
energy daily as the average working
task. Let the army be one of greater
service to the nation. It has time
enough to give for such service out
side of its training for war purposes.
Let It even take a leaf out of the
book of the Boy Scout. Lt it clean

Belittling Wilson,
Bruce Dennis in La Grande Observer
(Republican).
What a grave mistake Republicans
are going to make if through the
newspapers or on the stump they at
tempt a campaign to belittle President
Wilson.
Many of us want to beat Wilson be
cause we do not agree with certain
principles of government that he be
lieves in, but an attempt to go forth
with heavy gun oratory, and scream
ing editorials against the present
chief executive will react just as
sure as apple blossoms will bloom in
the Grande Ronde valley next May.
There are reasons for this belief.
First, the day has passed for that
kind of campaigning the Jim Blaine
speech will not do in this year of
1916, and fierce criticism coupled with
epithets that carry double meaning
have long ago been supplanted with
earnest, dignified argument by mod
ern meVi. Second, President Wilson
has within the past 14 "month. , seen
hi. error on two great questions
one on preparedness and one on a
tariff commission. Yet be has been
frank and open enough -to come out
squarely and say he was wrong on
those questions. -
That kind of a man appeals to many
people. He has not been a president
that justifies malicious attacks, not
by any means, and th. orator who in
dulges in them is going to get tbe
worst of the deal. -
There are many things President
Wilson believes and advocate, where
in people honestly differ with him,
and for that reason he is going to be
energetically opposed in th. coming
campaign with the hep., of defeating
him. ' Snt nix on the rough .tuff, -
