Kuey Long, -when he was governor of Louisiana, poured mfl Ifima of state funds into this net oroiect: boneht magnificent buildings and the best football does all right in the football business too.) v : H The buildinsr of collezes and football teams through sheer ' buying power, sometimes with money acquired in rather crude if not unethical ways we are not classifying the Duke tobacco fortune in this category has been a favor- ite' topic for fiction writers. It lends itself to such treatment because higher education is popularly supposed to be far re moved from crass commercialism. Yet higher education is eostlv and the monev has to - The desired insulation between the money that makes ' the university go and the atmosphere of pure intellectualism fe ordinarily provided by the faculty, with the president as the necessary connecting link. This arrangement requires that-the Dresident be a. man bie enough to deal with each of . these widely separated aspects of his job and yet keep 'them separated. Since the intellectual aspect must be on dis playthe practical requirement is that the fiduciary aspect be, kent. in the background. The president of Louisiana State university seemed ad mirably suited to this task, had the scholarly appearance if not the scholarly attitude of mind and an avid interest in financial affairs. In the long run this avocation got the best of him via the stock market, and the insulation broke down to the accompaniment of screaming headlines in -every daily newsoaper in the land. '' Heretofore the picture of presidents absconding with oags of gold has been confined to the presidents of Latin American republics ; the flight of a university president with half a million dollars or at least leaving an illegal deficit in that amount, is totally uniaue and the shock that is the public reaction, is a tribute to the fraternity of university presi dents, just as the conviction of one federal judge in 150 years on a charge of selling justice, produced a shock that was a tnbnte to the bench. . , The truth is that the well-informed section of the public has never had high regard for the educational standing of Louisiana State university. Its educational program was warped from the beginning to suit the fascistic aims of Huey Long, just as the German universities have been prostituted tp; similar ideologies' But if Louisiana State's scholastic repu tation had been of the highest order, it would have been de stroyed by the acts of its president. No matter how, devoted tofthe cause of knowledge and truth the faculty and students might have been, people are not going to have much confi ilence in an institution presumed to be dedicated to those virtues, which is rotten at the top. If, unwillingly, we must find a lesson or two in the eoi iode. the first is that money akme cannot build a great edu cational institution; it also demands character and devotion to the task. The second, applicable also to colleges which' have not gotten into the headlines so spectacularly, is that the sources of heir financial support must not be permitted to affect in any way the internal mechanism of the educative process. - . , - , . Edward E. Brodie ? Once each year the newspaper publishers of Oregon hold annual convention to discuss mutual problems and through the process of .relaxation and jollification, to renew and re cement acoaintanceshjp within their craft. Their 1939 con vention is scheduled to open Friday of this week at Timber line Lodge. Over their assemblage has been cast a shadow of sorrow in the passing of veteran member of their fra ternity, Edward E. Brodie of Ihe Oregon City Enterprise. v Not only will the publishers be sobered because their 'comrade's death was so. recent and so unexpected, but his absence itself will be distinctly marked; for Mr. Brodie has been very much a part cf these annual gatherings for more than 'a quarter of a century except for the intervals when he was in foreign lands as the representative of the United States government. ".i y:-fy:'.'.' - To most of the newspapermen with whom . Ed Brodie fraternized at these conventions he was a senior member, and as a newspaper executive they regarded him as a model whose viewpoint and methods they ould safely imitate, in so far as any editor is 'content to imitate. In politics he was a sincere and consistent conservative, one who believed that through conservative policies est number might be realizedA tained at all times a constructive interest in the welfare of -his community and all its people; and they were always privi leged to voice their opinions through his newspaper, whether he agreed or wit. .' :' - - In his own editorial sanctum or in the company of fellow- newspapermen Ed Brodie was always willing to listen.' It is as a good listener, that the present writer recalls him most vividly. His disposition to hear the other fellow's story was so great, that he "gave the impression of being a silent man, though he, had .plenty of ideas of his own and the will ingness and the ability to express them. He was a newspaper man who enjoyed his work and enjoyed life without having to go far to seek enjoyment; . found expression in his editorial column. - t It is characteristic of the on Tuesday when he was fatally stricken.- he came on a gratuitous mission for others. . be: of service. In his passing the community of Oregon City, the state at large, the republican party and the newspaper profession have suffered a great loss. i As might l suspected, Klamath Falls ears get a little red over all the publicity attendant upon its law and order problems. Recounting' some similar difficulties brought to light in Mediord in connection tion, the Klamath Herald remarks: "Welcome, Medford, into the Klamath Fails-Kansas City . ' ' - - , .if .

The rifle, the ax, the ox goad or the pen. he could use either, or the carpen ter's square, as occasion re quired. v v "At the organisation, where Gilliam was chosen general, M. T. Simmons colonel. Morrison, Shaw and Woodcock captains, Rees was elected orderly serge ant, but, like Col Nesmith the year previous, performed the du ties of adjutant. The writer was elected fourth corporal, but per formed Mr. Kees's duties during a large part of the Journey to the summit of the Rocky moun tains, he being sick of mountain or camp feyer.

First, the mature frontiersman - well versed In ail the 1 a b o rs sad shifts of the pioneer. Second, the native born youth of the middle class (if American life can be classified), with clear perception of what was around him, and knowing as well as any man who had not been there what he might be journeying to. Third a foreign born youth en tertaining a high If has.y estimate of the dignity and . honor of American - citizenship, and strong desire to conduct himself la a manner worthy of its rights and privileges. A Democrat, as most jsuropean immigrants are when they come to America on the supposition that a nartr f inai name must represent in the fullest degree the rights of man and the greatest good of the greatest number.
