Quite ordinary murder trial over at Corrallis seem shoot to
be supported by the "defense of womanly honor! Isterjected
by the defense attorneys. The Portland Journal started
playisjr up the case some months ago with Sunday feature
stories, picture lay-outs and special staff correspondence.
The Telegram followed up with a camera drive on the prin

merited no such magnified exploitation. It had none of
the aspects of "best seHer" Jn murder trials. It lacked scan
dal; there was no revelation of plot; there was no daring ear
cape or thrilling chase and capture of the accused. AH that
gave it more than local interest was the fact that the netim
was a prominent ex-football player. .
. So the sprinkling of spiee on the part of the defense at
torney may prove a life-saver to the staff reporters who were
making a desperate effort to make an enlargement of .the
legitimate news values- "Red" Bryant, a Ccrvalks youth
with a poor reputation, jealous because Dkkerson was taking
his girl home one night, accosted him. They got into a fight,
Bryant stabbed Dkkerson with a butcher knife so badly that
he died a few days later. Two men fighting over a girl;

Missouri Throws Professors to Lions J
THREE professors at the University of Missouri have been
thrown to the lions at the behest of outraged bigots in
Columbia and ovr the -state. Descendants of the persecu
tors who flogged the Quakers because they had unconven
tional beliefs, compeers of the Tennesseeans and Arkansans
who tried to bottle up scientific
Missourians proved themselves

pie; dogs ox bigotry let loose; legislature tnreatemng 10 cur
' off appropriations; a scared university president hitting
wild: and three university professors discharged.
One of these was Prof. Max
nent physchologists In the country, graduate oi tne univer
sity of Berlin, and 30 years a professor at Missouri. The St.
Louis Post-Dispatch calls his dismissal a "drumhead court
martial of a distinguished man." v
Another was Dr. Harmon 0. DeGraf f whose final lecture
in his course 'The Family", a constructive plea for sociolog
ical science and tolerance, ended with the professor and many
of his students overcome: with emotion. The class planned
a testimonial dinner and set on foot a movement to retain
him as personal adviser. Kansas City clergymen were
among his strong defenders.
We were impressed with the. fine substance of his final
lecture. What a pity indeed that an institution devoted to
the search for knowledge, and to the intelligent education of
youth, should in a wave of hot hatred dismiss an able and
cultured professor such as Dr. DeGraff. Here is the con
densed report if the lecture as given by the Post-DUpatch:

The president apparently con

without injustice to the claimant.
Montana, and Wyoming are the
states most directly interested In

policy. Considerable areas in
these states are withdraws from
taxation by. the goTernment and
to retard their derelopment is de
trimental to the good of the states.
It is an exceedingly serions
matter ia Montana. Vast areas
there belong to the gorernment
and cannot be taxed for the main
tenance of roads, schools, and
other clrle derelopments.
I wonld be heartily in faror of
conserving oil in the ground and
not going on consuming It larlsh

Texas there are no public lands
