WE RECALL an. old story about a man shooting at a crW on his barn roof. The noise scared the poultry; his suspender button flew off and hit the old woman in the eye ; the recoil knocked him against the kitchen stove and it overturned. General consternation prevailed. After the nar rator recounts the dire events which attended the discharge of the gun, comes the classic ending in which a small boy pipes up: j'Say, mister, what became of the crow?" Thislcomesto mind as the smoke clears away in the re cent heavy bombardment in the field of higher education. As peace (or a truce) is restored, after a great deal of carnage all round, we come back to the original point which presumably should haVe been the object aimed at ; and that is the audit, and in particular the responsibility for the al leged suppression of the special report, j What we have been curious about was just where the special audit was "suppressed". So we wrote Mr. Sammons and inquired of him who had refused him access to the audit. He has replied with copies of his correspondence. He wrote Sec. Hoss on May 13, asking for a copy of the Feb. 10 report. Mr. H03S replied on May 18 that "the contents of the report have been transmitted to Chancellor Kerr and I have received a report on the matter from him." Again on July 5 Mr. Sammons wrote the secretary of state making formal de mand for the special report. Miss Phillips, secretary to Mr. Hoss, replied that the reports were not "public writings" in the legal sense, "but unofficial material in the office . . . not subject to certification or release"; and "as two copies were supplied to the chancellor you may wish to obtain from him a copy of Mr. Kubm's letter to Mr. jhoss." On Aug. 31 Mr. Sammons wrote the attorney general cit ing that Sec. Hoss had denied him access to certain reports and inquiring if they were "public writings" in a legal sense which could be withheld. No reply was received from the attorney general although one was requested by Sept. 11, when the board was to meet. When the board met, Mr. Sammons brought up the issue which created the havoc. Apparently the issue became one between Mr. Hoss and Mr. Sammons, and later between the latter and the attorney general over the fine question of when is an official paper a "public writing'. Mr. Sammons did not ask Mr. Starr for the report He didn't ask the chancellor for it, although he was directed to the chancellor by the secretary of state. It would appear that the whole ruckus might have been avoided had Sammons merely asked the chancellor for a copy of the report. It is clear now that the chancellor should have fur nished all members of the board with copies of the report and the college reply when the matter first came up. Cer tainly he would have done so had he foreseen the eruption ' which was brewing. In any event the charges of Mr. Sammons would have more justification bad he asked the chancellor for the report, and then had it been denied him. It certainly was proper material not only to go to the board, but to be filed with the i eovernor and made open to the Tn the f nrore over the special report the findings in the main audit have been lost sight of. These findings deserve attention from the board. Auditor Kubin makes numerous ! criticisms of the accounting methods at the state college, some 16 in all. Among them are: Holding a post-session course and having the fees therefor handled by the dean. Accepting affidavits of residence from athletes "without the usual clow supervision", which of course wcjild. enable the ath letes to escape payment of out-of-state tuition. Certain items bought direct instead of through the board of control cost from 29 to 26 more. Failure to have certain receipts numbered wuica makes checking practical an impossibility. Inadequate checking on sales of various departments. poul try, greenhouse, horticulture, etc. Thor or nmp Criticisms to the other schools, the university, the medical school, and normal schools. At Monmouth "a large amount of' student fees were uncollected". The audit cites an expenditure of $5,315.97 at the uni verslty for the alumni secretary for "Public Relations" which Indicates subsidv to the alumni association in violation of the board's order, At the college "they have an account under Welfare Committee' for the ' which provides service and office." The audit also questions the legality of actions of the board itself in subsidizing dormitories at the university and college to enable them to meet i It calls attention to balance due from Alumni Holding Co. at the university of $23,415.64, arising from expenses ofJ ' the vice presidency of the university, paid for out of uni versity funds, "but by agreement with the Alumni Holding Co. were to be repaid by them"; although a subsequent opin J ion of the attorney general : repay the university 7" it chose to do so. ' While many of the matters should be studied -carefully by the executives of the schools and by the proper committee of the board ; and wherever the strictures are found justified, modifications made. We know 1 that auditors have various ideas, itrst as do lawyers exarmn- ing an abstract of title. So Jong as the work now is lodged in the auditing division of the secretary of state's office, the institutions should endeavor to make their system conform to the ideas of the state auditor. To get back to the "crow; none of the recent agitation and excitement was necessary dent was concerned. Mr. Sammons could surely have rotten a copy of the special report without threat of legal proceed ings. While there was widespread lack of confidence in Starr, in this case he seems not to have been guilty of suppressing tne special report, lor wnicn Jtfut the audit reports do merit study, not with a view o: finding material for throwing dirt, but with the idea of im- ' proving accounting methods at the; college or the where in ' ..the system. ... , 1 We hope the board with its new membership will be able to get away, from distracting dissension and discharge its . plain datie without ianninjr animosities.

V. r-.- V:v"' BITS for BREAKFAST By R. J. HENDRICKS- John B. Horner: A great Oregonian: . (Continuing from yesterday): How could Prof. Horner keep up a stiff course of study in Wil lamette and at the same time make a full hand as a news paper reporter? In the first place, he was tire lessly industrious. Secondly, he had a fertile mind, and an in genious one.' And he had what newspaper people call a !"nosa for news. He could see the in teresting side of ordinary events; was able to make good copy out of what the average person would regard as of no particular inter est. That is the rarest quality of news reporting, and the most appreciated by desk men In news paper offices everywhere. It is the quality that gives places of preferment to the star reporters on the great dailies and in the services of such agencies as the Associated Press. The star writ ers get into the spotlight at na tional conventions and when un usual events transpire, like a flood or a hurricane, or a war. S Typewriters had not come into use, but J. B. Horner carried a pad, and he wrote a faultless dent of freshman class at Wil lamette university; Cleo Weddle f Sllverton, vice-president; Lois Taylor of salemj secretary; Frank Beer of Hubbard, treasurer.

And he wrote as he went his rounds, on the spot, and turn ed in legible copy to the print ers. Any old time printer will say he (or she) would rather. put into type or linotype lines such copy than the kind that comes from the typewriter, or the more modern telegraph printing ma chines, turning out all capital letters. "W Thus, when Mr. Horner arrived at the office for duty, he had a batch of copy for the printers, needing no finishing touches and no editing by the desk man. The ordinary reporter takes notes and often has difficulty in read ing his own notes, leading to mistakes and insufficient infor mation. Had he followed that bent, he would have risen high as a star reporter. V -W s The writer trusts he will not be considered over vain in tell ing the reader that Mr. Horner in after years told a good deal about his work on The States man, and gave his young employ er credit for Inspiring him to make his first start in pursuit of the studr of Oregon history, as worthy of the best talents of anv man. And Mr. Horner made a great deal of that Important nnrsmit more In point of vol ume put into readable books than any person has ever done. S While in Salem, Just before graduating from Willamette, Prof. Horner attending a district teachers' institute at Lafayette, Yamhill eounty. he there met Rev. J. R. N. Bell, who was a member of the board of school directors at Roseburg, where this writer knew him well while he was editing and managing the Roseburg Plaindealer. Rev. Bell told Mr. Horner that he had been given authority by the other di rectors to find a. good principal for the public schools of Doug las county's shire town. The up shot: Prof. Horner was engaged as principal and Mrs. Horner as one of the teachers at Roseburg an arrangement that lasted six years, where they were very hap py, and expected to Temain. Into their borne at Roseburg came Vera Belle, born Oct. 2, 1887, and Alicia Pearl. Aug. SO, 1890,, daughters worthy of their parentage. Pearl is Mrs. Rich mond Wells, long- and still a member of the faculty of Wash ington high school, Portland, and her sister. Miss Vera is In charge of the history department of the Corvallis public schools. During the teaching service of Prof. Horner and wife at Rose burg, the schools there were much enlarged, and improved in various ways. a S ' J -.

"Yes," she . said, "especially considerin' all the things State was supposed to be going to do to him. Mrs. Flannigan nodded and in dined her head meaningly across the street; but Mom caught the look which passed between them and she saw they weren't so pleas ed as they made out; which didn't surprise her. Then Mrs. Johnson proved it She said: "But why do they call Tommy Jeff all the time, Mis' Randolph?" "Because that's his name," Pop said. "But I thought his name was Tommy," Mrs. Flannigaa said, "yeu know yourself, Mr. Randolph, that yon always called mm that" "His name is Thomas Jefferson Randolph," Pop said, as if that settled everything. "Sure," Uncle Louie backed him up. "I named him that" Pop glared at Uncle Louie but Mora gave him a look and he knew what she meant for she knew the two of them were only hoping to hear something they could carry all over town and they were dis appointed when Pop didn't say any thing. "Of course," said Mrs. Johnson, ."it don't make no difference and yon understand I wasn't the one that said anything. Take my Flor rie her middle name is Agnes and some people calls her Aggie." "The same way with my Buddy," said Mrs. Flannigan, "land sakes alive, half the time I didnt knew what name he was going under." Mom pot her finger to her - lips again as Pop and Uncle Loom were both making faces, trying te hear During five years or the latter period Prof, and Mrs. Horner were in charge of Cauthorn hall, and for the first time conducted the experiment of cooperative liv ing among students at a price not exceeding $2.50 a week. Through the aid of Carle Abrams, now of Salem, and others, this was made possible. Mrs. Horner afterward was matron of Alpha and also of Cauthorn hall, of the college. Prof. Horner introduced and was first to teach Oregon his tory in a college course. He opened to his classes a wonder land..; Though rapidly growing. Ore gon : Agricultural college lacked a museum. In 1923, Prof. Hor ner set about on a mission of collecting specimens that would be of educational value. Ho did this'l on a Smithsonian Institute basis soliciting specimens with out pay. The response was im mediate and has been steady. Practically without cost to the Institution, Prof. Horner was able to build the museum to large size, filled with treasures that are -beyond' estimate ' In money value. It is a monument to his " foresight, Industry . and seal, for the good of the Insti tution and the state, td be hand ed 'down throughout the genera tions. This tireless and effective worker, serving his day aad gen eration as few have been given talent and strength to do, has left' for the future a monument la' the museum more enduring than marble or bronze.

They kept Mom nervous all the time they were there. It was easy to see they weren't Interested in the football game bnt just to see what they could carry and Mom was glad Pop had told them with out it getting any worse; although Mom was on edge all the time be cause every little bit they would starf talking about something. It wasnt in them to keep still very long and Pop and Uncle Louie and Mom wanted to hear about the foot ball and not about Pat Flannigan's rbarber's itch or the hard time Mrs. Johnson had to get her man to stop eating onions before he went to bed or the best way to keep tomatoes from spoiling when the cellar got too damp. Mom was glad when they left because they had been more disorderly than children because at least yon could tell chil dren to keep still but if you told them to keep still it would be like putting it on the front page of the paper. As soon as they had gone. Pop did what he seldom did in the house and started swearing a blue streak; and finished up with: "And if she'd hear aome of the names I hear her Florrie called " "And what about that Flannigan brat he joined the Navy be cause " Now, now," Mom -said, "now they're gone.

They said it was a very hard game and what Mom didn't, see wouldn't hurt her. She'd be sure to dream at night and if anything hap pened to her Tommy she. didnt know It was awful nice of Charlie and everything but another reason was she and Pop might not look so swell and although she knew Tom would be proud of them just the same, still and all And Dorothy would, be there from her school over east and that would mean they'd all have to be together and Mom thought maybe that would embarrass them; for Dorothy and Tommy hadn't been keeping steady company for nearly two years. When Tom was home which wasnt much now he went with the girl at Smithfield and Mom heard Dorothy had a fellow from there, too. They still spoke but there was something between them. In one way Moaa was sorry because taaziie Whitney and his pretty lit tle wife and even Dorothy had been snce; bat then Tom waa too young to be tied down to one girl and Dorothy had too much of her strength in meeting appointments to appear before various groups on the lecture platform. Perhaps he shortened his career by his anxiety to serve and help. He left tasks unfinished that may be taken up by others, but. some that no one can complete.

Mom wished they would take a picture sometime without him wearing the football hatr-it always hid his hair and Tommy had such pretty hair. Pop and Uncle Louie were argu ing again. Those two but they didnt harm anybody. "I said," Pop said, "that If they give him some help in this half hell beat the Hoosiers all by himself." Ain't yon a Hoosier?" Uncle Louie asked. Pop looked at him qneerly; he dropped that eye down. Mom could see he was up to something so she listened. Pop said: "Ain't rou rootin' for Tom?" r "I ain't against him," Uncle Louie explained, "but still I ain't going against my own state." So the state comes first, does it?" Pop was waiting. "When yon come right down to it," Louie answered, "yes." Pop jumped up from his chair. excited. He looked triumphantly at Louie and then turned to Mom. "There you are yon heard him, Lizzie, yon heard what he said. I got witnesses." Oh," Mom pacified, "Louie didn't mean anything." "I am t against Tom." Uncle Louie said. "You said the state comes first," Pop accused, "and you know what that is fhats Socialism and you ain't no Democrat at alL" For once Uncle Louie was quiet Pop had given him one, Mom could see that Pop knew it, too. He started walking up and down and Mom could see he was getting ready for one of his speeches. She tried to stop him before be got started. "Now, Jim" But there was no brooking Pop now. He waved his hand and gave Uncle Louie a side glance as though he were a prisoner at the bar. "I've been suspecting this for a long time," Pop said, "he aint no Demo crat at all, he's a Bullsheveeki and a Mussolini." "Ah!" Uncle Louie showed his disgust but he was worried. Pop turned to him, pointed his finger. uian t you say the state was first ? Didn't you?" "That's tricky argyin'," Uncle Louie complained. Pop paid no at tention. "You don't follow the prin ciples of Thomas Jefferson and Wood row Wilson," he accused, "you're a follower of Eugene V. ueos and Karl Marx. Thomas Jef- f erson said all men are born free and equal HE didnt say the state comes first" Pop was shouting now. Mom tried to quiet hint. "Jim," she said, "the game's starting- again." He paid so attention. "Why don't you go over to Rooshia with the rest of them? No wonder you don't believe In hard work and always wait for a government job!" "Wait a minute " Uncle Louie broke in. The puzzling had gone from his face and Mom knew Uncle Louie had a point now. He was a good arguer and Pop could never keep him down long. "What kind of a state are you talking about the Marxian state or the Roman state or Plato's state?" Pop swung his fist down on the table aa though he had been await ing that question. "I mean the state of Indiana!" he shouted. Mom could see that Pop thought that settled everything and there was no more argument; and the way Uncle Louie hesitated Mom knew Pop had made some kind of a big point although if somebody asked her to swear on a stack of bibles she'd have to say she really- didnt know what they were talking about CTe Be Cwtfiaacd) kJ Frm3.
