FOK'THE GREATER WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY
Thd' board of trustees of Willamette University, at its
annual 'meeting yesterday, decided definitely upon - the
launching', of the greatest campaign in the history of the
.institution' - l ' , ;; '
i . For the raising of a million dollar endowment fund ',
For 1 129,000 to pay all indebtedness , .
- For sums 'sufficient to build and equip a new gymnasium
' and a central heating plant. - '!
It is, estimated that at least $65,000 will be required for
the new gymnasium and $35,000 for the heating piant-r-per
'haps more.", . - r .,.. . -
The $1,000,000 additional endowment fund proposed to
be raised J3, the result ot an offer of 5350,000 towards this
amount,' to be contributed by the General Education Board,
conditioned upon the completion of the total amount by con
tributions from friends of the school; that is, conditioned
, upon $550,OOQ being . subscribed and paid by friends of the
' Historic institution, it is understood that two ?ioo,uoo sub
scriptions are expected to be pledged
Leaving $450,000 to be raised in the general canvass.
The present endowment funds of the University total
; S735.151.13, parts of which are in the process of being con
verted into interest bearing securities, and .which are being
added to constantly
So that, perhaps, by the time the new million dollar ad
ditions are made, in case the campaign definitely. launched
: yesterday hall prove successful, the total of the endowment
funds of Willamette University will probably have passed the
.two million, dollar mark,-and will be on the way towards the
. three million dollar mark ,.
For tp them that hath shall be given is the "rule with such
institutions once firmly, established. In the language ol

It remains to endow it with eternal vigor. " . -1 ,
, The actual work of Securing the great body of the now
. subscriptions will begin soon after, the meeting of the Ore
gon Methodist Conference in Salem the middle of September.
It is expected that the General Education Board will have
i charge of the work of securing the funds, and that the dud-
licity.work, under the direction of that .Board,i.wilL begin
soon. ' Arrangements to this end are already on foot. 5 '
The $129,000 debt proposed to be cleared away is the
result largely., of building operations in connection with the

; The average reader will say that this is an ambitious
program. But It is not too ambitious for the needs of the
j Greater Willamette University, for the growth of the insti
tution is already over crowding its facilities. The field is
already larger than the school . ; v
And the moment the great effort now launched is
crowned with success, if it ' shall have success, there will
have to be other campaigns prepared for additional buildings
in order to provide more teaching room and facilities.
And that condition obtains in practically all the educa
tional institutions of Oregon, public and private.
;lt is a condition that could not have been foreseen or pre
dicted a few years ago.
But it is-a condition and not a theory
; 'And the friends of 'Willamette University, for their share
of the.great program, are preparing to do their part. That
is all. It will be a great part, though it looks like and will be

Independence in production Is
fine thing. ,
It Is a cardinal Republican doc
trine to encourage by adequate
tariff duties every Industry that
may contribute to the needs of
the nation, but Independence will
never come to our producers un
til our , foreign commerce is
handled by men whose first con
cern is for the welfare of the
United States. The British and
other foreign ships that now car
ry such a large part of American
cargoes keep the seas largely
through subsidies paid their; op
erators by their home ;; govern
menta.- The sympathies of those
operators are not only with their,
own countries, but in most cases
they have signed contracts to
turn their ships over to their gov
ernments the moment they may
be needed in an emergency. Until
the United States is possessed of
a commercial fleet that is free
from all such restrictions, our for
eign commerce can never have
that substantial foundation ' so
necessary to permanent success.
the Investigations. The hig In
crease In commercial aviation Is
due largely to the encouragement
received from Federal sources. It
Is estimated that in 1920 1000

at an average charge for short
flights or $12.50. In 1921, 1,200
planes carried 123,22? pounds of
freight and 122,000 passengers
for, an average charge of $9. As
the number and capacity of the
machines Increase, the efficiency
ot operations rises and the cost
drops.
EARLY ENACTMENT
IMPERATIVE
' There Is no measure now pend
ing tef ore congress in more im
perative need of early enactment
than the merchant marine bill.
Every day that American ship
owners and operators are denied
the relief that its provisions af
ford means that when the bill
eventually becomes law there will
be Just that much aCded difficulty

eign, competition that now besets

Harding has sensed the situation
and is doing everything he prop
erly can to expedite consideration
of the measure. The bill is pend
ing ia the house, and 'must then
go to the senate, where also the
tariff, bill is . under discussion.
But not even the tariff should be
permuted to hinder the enact
ment of merchant marine relief
There Is little use In building up
our Industries by tariff protection

A European citizen cannot buy

minutes or less and no questions
asked as in this land of the free.
The permits to be obtained, the
croj'p-exanilnatlona required, are
so numerous, that in Europe it
U virtually impossible for a pri

a consequence crimes of violence
with a pistol are as rare In Eng

clipping on his desk;)
When the Hours are Dark

Sergeant Alvin York, "the
greatest hero of the World war,"
again is in a run of good luck.
A few months ago. It looked
as if he would lose his . farm
through inability to meet pay
ments on its $13,000 mortgage.
. A month in vaudeville would
have brought York enough mon
ey to handle the mortgage.
But he said: "I would far
rather lose my farm, and go back
to work up on it as a common day
laborer, than, to commercialize
the fame which was only '.trident
al to an act of Providence.
Many have marveled at Ser
geant York's modesty. The ex
planation is he has faith in Div
ine Guidance, which carried the
early pioneers through many a
hard time.

he waa a victim of deflation cf

This did not discourage York.
He kept repeating:
"Religions faith sustained me
in my danger and removed my
fear. And He will see me
through."
At times it seemed that there
was no hope, no way ouft
But never did York's faith wav

Now , the mortgage 'is gone,
paid off by the Nashville Rotar
ians. '
Some will call it a windfall.
Cynics will call It chance.
The spiritually wise will call It
the fruit of faith.
Faith is the mightiest power
we possess . It takes various
forms, ranging from confidence
in self or luck to belief In Divine
Guidance.
No human career can be car
ried through to success without
faith, the mover of mountains
This is a universal belief, shared
by all religions among people in
all stages ot barbarism or civilia-
am
ation, and it Is the force behind
ail prayer.
It is an unhappy individual who
has no faith in creed. Creator,
human nature and fellow-man
Without faith, the world would
be a rotten one in which to live,
and life would be drab and futile.
Cultivate faith ,Uo hasten arriv
al at your goal.

The Wishing Stone
Georgia, commonly, known as
"George. sat on the wishing
stone by the pasture and rocked
gently back and forth. I The big
stone was a little loose and made
a fine rocking chair.,
She called it the . ."wishing
stone" because that was what her
grandfather, old Colonel George.
called the big smooth stone. The
neighbors " said : the Colonel was
"cracked,' . but Georgia hadn't
paid any attention. Since the
time she and' her mother had
come clear from Kansas to take
care of him. she had adored him.
Folks said he had once had money
and been a miser, but it he had
bad anything, it waa all gone
when they- came. -
- The wishing stone had. been, a
favorite meeting place for them.
They would come there and rest
and make up stories about how
the stone was magic and it you
sat' on it and wished when you
wanted something very, very bad
ly, It might come true. He had

he died. "Remember. Georze
he had said, "that If ever you're
up against it you must go to the
wishing stone."
"I wish, sighed Georee. "that
what poor dear grandfather . said
was true. We're surely up against
it, an right, with mother sick
Goodness knows where the mon
ey's coming from. I wish- I wish
there was some way out "
"George!, Look out!" screamed
the hired man. . George looked
up, and then screamed, too. Vin

had been trying to get rid of for
a month, was out of the barn and
coming straight toward her. She
scrambled off the rock and vault
ed over the fence just in time,

The bull even knocked over the
stone in his rush,
.When the excitement was over
and Vindictive had been tied up.
George went back to the stone
She started to tug It back Into

eyes suddenly found a little hoi
low beneath where the stone had
