TTILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY
In the nine years during which the destinies of Willamette
University have been under the direction of Dr. Carl Gregg
Doney, wonderful progress has been made ! f'
The status of the school has been raised from that, of a
struggling college to the stature of a great educational institu
tion, , on the way to certain greater things in the substantial
life Of its expanding .field. - . - ,4. '
The place, Willamette university fills and is destined to fill
is well outlined in a paragraph of Dr. Doney in his "report to the
board .of trustees in their annual meeting yesterday, as follows :
"The demand for Christian character is made
from all quarters- and it is being widely acknow
ledged that intellectual achievements are a menace
V.; unless attended by a guiding morality. There are
' '. - strong reasons for wondering if man has not en-
daggered his very greatness by unduly stressing
mentality, and 'neglecting righteousness. He has
s - . y created a Frankenstein monster without a soui. it ,
1 . - will kill Him unless a controlling soul be provided,
I ." : and that is nourished by religion." e -
I t Vlt is well, therefore, that the Christian college increasingly
I make its saving contribution to society,' said Dr.. Doney in his
p report ' - " " - - - . K ,
U This Christian college is increasingly making its saving
j contribution to society. , Previous to the past few years the
k graduating classes were very small, and now that they are much
j larger, and growing in size, the reputation of the school will be
: correspondingly extended, and its chances for more rapid
i 'growth and widening usefulness constantly enhanced. '
Tf: v., ' . . . j.j ,
I,'? - But now, worn.down by the grinding work of standing at
V- resDonsibilities attendant upon
J fcure course towards greater things, Dr. Doney is inf ormed ' byt
meuicai experts iiiai ue uas uui ncu ma uc a v
ends; that he has come to a point where he must slow down
the human engine, Jr he will land in the ditch. I .
' So, yesterday, he tendered his resignation as. president of
Willamette 'university to the board of trustees at their annual
meeting. He made it final. He did not mince words. He had
J broached the subject at the February meeting !of the board at
Portland, but the members of the executive committee thought
x then that a definite break might be avoided. He had talked the
- matter oVer confidentially with several Salem members of the
1 1 board, 'teginning ' several weeks ago. I :y '
. The board of trustees did not accept the resignation yester-
i day. They referred' the matter to the executive committee,
containing the names of some of the greatest. friends of the
I university, who have contributed
funds and other funds of the old school. a -
The feeling at the meeting of the board of . trustees was
voiced, unanimously, as one of deep regret at this possible part-
iug of the ways " - ' -"""v". ' : ; 1 - ' .
At this imminent loss to -the educational circles of the
Pacific Northwest of one 6f its shining lights.. .Trustees spoke
I yesterday who have known all the great men of the past who
have headed old Willamette: and it was the sentiment that Dr.
j . Doney has been in all things the peer of the best of them, and
I 4 in some respects the greatest of them all and it is patent to any
! observing man that he has been privileged to make the largest
j , contribution of any one man to the work of placing Willamette
i j university in its rightful position as a great institution; on firm
4 foundations that make its increasing usefulness certain.
j f l ; ' Dr. Doney is a big man. He is brilliant of mind and great
of heart. ' He has the graces and manners and the instincts and
j i qualities of a true Christian gentleman. He has a vision that
i carries his mind beyond the immediate horizon. J '? He is leaving
M a place that it will be hard to Ifind another man to fully fill.
I ' Perhaps a way may be found by the members of the execu-
tive committee to retain Dr. Doney as the directing head of the
) institution, relieved of some of the burdensome duties that have
! ground him down T V' I ' : -r-"'I,-,' " '

.THE CONSTITUTION
For"-133 years people have had
aconstitution and yet they seem
to Vfcnow .migh? y little about it.
Toy have taken it as a matter
of. course, and accepted, it as the
1-v.v of the laud.

need of study and understanding
of that constitution. History is
replete with warnings, as the pres
ident said recently, (that "the
world has always contained a dan
gerously large proportion of peo
ple . who have believed that the
way of progress was by way of
destruction. The cagerne&s ofthejto master the situation and ride
enrcmi3t, the rcjyat j2pj8l'".Is un -
quenchable. The only assurance
against their machinations is to be
found in the inculcation among the
people of. sound ideas of govern
ment." ' ' ' '
In their patriotic wisdom the
founders of the republic and the
framers of the constitution knew
all that in the beginning.
In the last year there has been
a realization of the danger that
comes from lack of Information of
the fundamental laws of the land.
Really we know very little about
what the laws mean. One reason Is
that there are so many of them
that they cannot all be folowed.
The other is that the constitution,
the greatest of all documents, is
almost unknown to the avearge
citizen, lie admires it very much,
and can pronounce an eulogy upon
it that would bring tears of patri
otic Joy to an Indian cigar sign
but driven to details your elo
quent orator can not quote one
paragraph in the constitution and
if drivon stfll further into the
corner will admit he never read
read the document. , We are com
posed largely of a nation of non
constitution readers.
DOES XOT WANT. TO RUN
We are more firmly convinced
than ever that La Follette must be
goaded into the race of running
for the presidency. He has occu
pied a great position in America
and has been a beneficial influ
ence. His Influence will be gone
if he permits personal ambition to
take him out of the republican
party, i .
The country needs men like La
Follette, men with courage to
speak, but the penalty of such
men is that they can not; receive
presidential nominations. They
are good for the party, yet It la
not good politics to nominate
them. . . . '
La Follette, of course, can not
control the republican national
convention. He never has. . The
Wisconsin delegation has (voted
for him every four years since
1908. and will continue to do so.
but he has been bright enough to
know that he never will win the
presidency. Should the election
come into - the house there ? are.
enough democrats and republicans
who understand each other on the
side to prevent the election of La
Follette. " The leaders of both par
ties would recognize the calamity
lof having this man as president.
The presidency: is not a place for
the bull In the china shop to per
rm - - t acU on otjthe
people. - In other words it would
never do to make the people so
nervous as they would continue to
be with La Follette as president.'
THE VICE PRESIDENT
Of course there is going to be a
lot of talk about the vice president
and despite the altruistic hopes of
the president, the candidate is go
ing to be straight politics. The
country. In general Is- for Lowdeh,
and here's hoping he will be. draft
ed. ' '
The candidacy of Hoover is un
fortunate. He does not want the
Dlace. He has already a part in
the administration and is perform
ng valuable work. Mr. Hoover
is one of the biggest men in the
United States and some day ought
to be president.. It would be a
great pity to bottle him up in' the
vice presidency. His friends
should spare him this sacrifice.
He is probably ( America's greatest
executive in political ' life; but a
pliable nondescript could fill the
vice presidency were it not for the
possibility of succeeding to the
presidency.
LEARNING TO SWIM
" There are so many natatoriums
in the country, so many opportuni
ties to learn to swim that there
does not seem to bo- any excuse
for people being unable to master
the water. It seems that some
one is drowned almost in our
neighborhood every day. Certain
ly every Sunday has its list of
tragedies. Swimming is a tine ex
ercise and ' it is nice to splash
around In the water, but no one
has any right to 'venture in the
water who eannot swim. '
HOLDING. THE "WOMEN
When It was found that there
were women persisting in voting In
the primaries and that the bosses
could not control them, there was
started in New York and elsewhere
efforts to hold conventions In or
der to Bhut the women out. The
bosses knew that the women
would never attend the caucuses
if they knew in advance every
caucu would be packed, as they
had been packed for SO years. The
women were expected to retire and
the men figured they would be
once more in control. It must be
admitted that this Is an adroit
scheme, and while out of power
the fertile brains of the bosses
have been -active at work trying
back.
XOT FOB BURTON
A man named Dr. Burton, a col
lege professor, is a candidate for
vice president. In the first place
the country tried to elect a college
professor president. It didn't work
satisfactorily. In the second place
the ; average college professor Is
not In touch with the life of today.
He may be a trained rhetorician,
but he is not trained in the rough-and-tumble
of life. It might in
spire a few people to have a classi
cal presentation of the issues with
a speaker correctly attired from
head to foot, but the public 'Will
niot be satisfied. They want a man
who lives as i hey live; who can
throw a bull by its tail at a pic
nic, or pitch a horseshoe over his
bead in a game'. In fact they want
a real fellow to do the talking, and
Dr. Burton is' anything but that.
He may be an improvement over
Nick Butler, and we rather think
he is, but he is not material for the
speaking end of the national cam
paign.
TOO LATE
The wheat, farmers are assured
that they will only have half a
crop this year, which means the
wheat troubles will solve them
selves, but the farmers will be
minus the money they should have
had had the McNary hill passed.
The country was assured that
tho wheat question would settle
itself, and sure enough it is doing
it, so far as bushels are concerned,
but the farmers are just as poor
as they were, and just as much
pressed for money with which to
pay their taxes. ". It
One of these days the farmers
are going to find their power and
when they do something will be
doing every minute of that day.
WOMEN IN POLITICS u
Since the women were enfran
chised there has been a determined
effort to minimize their influence
and interest in politicsr The move
for the establishment of the old
convention .system -,1s simply a
move to discourage women in pol
itics. That is one reason why any
ticket so nominated would be
beaten in the primaries. Tha
women would take their revenge.
Both the old parties must recog
nize the women and give them a
fair division of offices.' :. .,

This is one of a series of games

which means that the boys on that

Editor Statesmaan: r
In a recent paper published by
one of the Junior High Schools in
Salem I read the following: The
9-A Occupation classes have been
studying the geographical' location
of cities all over the world that
have been mentioned in the dis
cussion of different occupations,
ilt is surprising to know how Ig
norant some members of the class
es are of geography, but under Mr.
W 's supervision we expect
to improve our minds greatly.
Do you know, my heart went out
in sympathy to that teacher who
besides doing what h is paid to do
is trying also to do what was left
undone by teachers' in the grades
lower down.
Not so long ago I had an excel
lent opportunity to become ac
quainted with a young woman in
high school. ' The more I knew
of her the greater grew my
amazement. At last one day I
dropped all else and set myself to
find out. what that girl knew, if
anything. I wish I had saved my
list of questions, but here are a
few I remember: ;
Could she bound Oregon I
should say not! After much rack
ing of her brains she could re
member five presidents of the
United States. . Lincoln was not
among them; nor could she say
who was president at the present
time. . Asked if she knew who is
king of England, she replied
doubtfully, "There was a George
third, but I believe he's dead now
isn't he?" In her opinion the
biggest river 1n South America
was the Yukon. I asked her the
circumference of the earth but she
declined to make a guess at it.
Seeking to lead her gently to it. I
asked her what she thought might
be the distance through. After
some hesitation she ventured to
say it might be a million miles
through.-Why, she didn't even
know whether the sun rose in the
east or the wesL That' isn't a
joke, it's the solemn truth, for she
asked me that very question her
self in alL seriousness. And how
could you expect the dear girl to
know when she couldn't point out
the four directions to save her
life? .
You will wonder of course, how
that country girl ever broke into
high school. So did I until one
day quite of her own accord she
announced that she would never
have passed her eighth grade test
had not "teacher" been kind
enough to help her answer the
questions.
Ah!
I once asked a county superin
tendent if it were not required by
law that at least one district dir
ector should bo present when the
eighth grade test is given. The
reply I received was: "Yes. such
was formerly the custom, ibut

leaped the first man holds a cer
tain number of fingers on the
hand up, calling out, "Buck. Buck,
How Many Fingers Up?" The last
man of the side that is down calls
out the number which he thinks
the man on top is holding up. If
he guesses correctly, then the side
that was down gets to leap. If he
fails to guess, however, then his
side stays down and the same side
gets to leap again.
If any member of the side that
is leaping touches the ground in
any manner when he jumps, then
that places his fide down. Each
jumper must hold the position he
is in when he strikes the line.
Also, if the side that is down does
not hold up the other side, then
they are not allowed to guess how

little dears!) "so that they were
unable to do themselves justice in
their examination and," went on
the superintendent, "I, for my part

Which is all very wellj but un
fortnately it does not-follow that
because the .superintendent is
broadmlnded the teachers are hon
est not all or tnem. And if you
will just take the trouble to ob
serve you will notice that there
are some teachers who never fail,
year after year, to pass every one
of their eighth grade pupils. Some
of us could have so much more
faith in them if only once in a
while there' would bo a failure.

out they can always take the June
test at teacher's home and there is
no chance that even the dullest
will fail there.
Oh, these eighth grade grad
uates! Sometimes they bring
their questions to talk over with
me after examination is past. One
girl explained that she had had to
omit the question. Name some
states In which cotton is raised.
"What? I cried, "You don't know
where cotton grows?" She admit
ted she did not. "Perhaps In
Alaska," I suggested. She assent
ed, then on second thought. "No,
not Alaska, that's where they get
gold." (Gold and cotton, it seems
cannot come from the same reg
ion) "Maybe Minnesota?" I ven
tured next. Well, for all she knew.
Now, I leave it to anyone of av
erage Intelligenc ' to say how
much of either the history or pe
ography of ? his country can be
known by a young woman who has
no notion wher cotton is grown.
The. same girl told me she had
been unable to state the Pause of
the Revolutionary war. "But I
know now," she .went on, with a
little air of triumph, "for s'nee the
examination C : (another
graduate) has told me. .The
cause of that war was hatred!"
While I am at It. I can not re
sist telling you this one: Three
years ago the eighth grade pupils
were In their test requested to lo
cate the river Marne. "I don't
know WHERE that river is." said
the sweet girl graduate who had
brought me her questions. "Teach

EVERY where, and SHE 'couldn't
find any river by that name." Can
you beat it? , , - , :,v ,
Wh'ch reminds me that on the
day of the. burial of the Unknown
Soldier quite a number of school
girls were t my home. Imagine
my surprise when entirely by ac
cident I discovered that not one
of them had heard of the great
funeral being held that day. Worse
yet, I soon found that they didn't
have any idea what Armistice day
was all about. One of them

GET OXE LIKE THIS
This thing is so simple to maks
that all I'm going to say about it
is to get a tin can. punch a hole
in it for the candle, stick a tia
handle on it by driving in a coup!
of nails for rivets and you are all
set.
It won't be. long until camping
trips get under way and a thing
like this tin lantern will coma ia
pretty , handy. How much camp
ing have you fellows done? i
hope you like it as well as I do,
although I hate like the dickens
to have to put up a tent when the
rain is just slushing all around.
Another thing I hate to do when
on a camping trip is to have to
cook for the crowd, if there are
more than three in the party. Gee,
I think I'd rather go hungry than
peel a bushel of potatoes, and it
seems to me that three people on
a camping trip can eat just about
that many every day.
Write and tell me about your
camping experiences.

Fine Penalty by 'Justice
Unmoved by copious gobs of

P. J. Kuntz stood his ground in
the justice court Monday and sen
tenced Mrs. Fay Smiht Pancioa
to the county jail wuen sh said
she was unable to pay the $73 fine
imposed upon her by" hte Judge
after she had been arrested for
having no operator's license., ,Thf
arrest was made by Kennetl
Bloom, state traffic officer.
Lest the sentence imposed
sound too severe, it Is pointed oul
that Mrs. Pancioh recently broke
into fame and jail, in Portland
when she was arrested for driving
at the rate of 70 miles an hour.
She was sentenced to 70 hours ia
jail, a fine of $75 and had her
drivers license" revoked for one
year.
But the iron doors of the county
jail did not close behind her, for
a friend came to the rescue with
$75 in cash and obtained her' re
lease. The key to her automobile
was returned only after Deputy
Sheriff Sam Burkhart had located
a' driver for her.
Mrs. Pancioh gave her address
as the Sargent Hotel, Grand Ave
nue and Hawthorne, Portland,
though she recently came noriii
from Loa Angeles.
