Willamette Wins
Salem has received the best Christmas present possible in
the successful completion of the drive to raise $1,250,000
for the endowment of Willamette university, whose history
is so interwoven with the history of the pity that the two
are inseperable.
The good people of Oregon, especially those of Salem
have risen to the emergency in a remarkable manner.
Despite depression and hard times, the response from all
sections has been most gratifying. It is a convincing demon
stration oi state wide pride in a pioneer educational institu
tion.
As a result of the drive, the growth and expansion of the
university are assu:d. Ranking high among the western
colleges, it will now be enabled to attain a still higher place.
Cooperation of all classes was sought and received and the
city will have to hustle to keep pace with the growth of "old
Willamette."
,
Now that the drive for Willamette has ended so success
fully and the drive for the country club improvements has
also had similar success, it is high time that the public co
operated in finishing the new hospital- Even the success of
the Willamette drive cannot entirely redeem Salem's reputa
tion ior unprogresiveness, witn enterprise lacking to complete
such a needed and worthy project. It is a shame to Salem
to leave the hospital half finished when there is plenty of
money for other things.

I - - THE j:
Why Holler?
Now that the recent election is a matter of more or less
. ancient history, and most people are trying to forget it, the
Portland Journal has just discovered, by reading the New
York papers, that there was a compulsory school bill passed,
and waxes quite indignant over the unfavorable advertising
Oregon is receiving on its account.
In the first comment it has made upon this bill the Journal
says:
The Journal disagrees with their school bill, but that bill does not
mean, as the Tribune says, that "education can come from the state
alone."
The bill requires that six years of the child's school training shall
be in the public schools. Two years at the beginning of the child's
training can be in a private school. The entire high school and col
lege lite can be in private institutions. To say, that after the com
pulsory bill goes into effect, if it ever does, "education can come from
the state alone" is gross misrepresentation.
If the Journal disagrees with the school bill, why did it not
exert its influence acrainst the measure when it was rjendiner?
Why did it maintain a conspiracy of silence and thus assist its
passage.'
The Journal's ignorance of the bill is perhaps to be ex
pected as it has never before mentioned it, but before under
taking to set others right upon this sumptuary legislation, it
should at least read the bill. If it does it will find the
language very explicit and compels the attendance of chil
dren between the ages of 8 and 16 or until they finish the
grammar scnools, in public schools.
If such a measure arouses criticism abroad and "it will
take a good many Frank Branch Rileys to undo the harm
. done Oregon" by thin criticism, the Journal is in no position
to protest, for it did nothing to prevent its being voted for,
:altho now it admits that it never favored it. Other papers
predicted the damage the bill would do the state, but not the
: Journal. It has forfeited right of protest.

The Prettiest Girl in Klllarney
Parker sighed. It had ever been
thus. Starmount could take up some
thing and follow it enthusiastically
to the exclusion of everything else
and during that timo he resented
anything that would deflect the
slightest thought from the one thing
his whole soul was bent upon.
Starmount made GO mile an hour
the whole way. Afterward Pat
when telling about it said:
"I'll tell the world that I thought
every minute me last. But the
Blessed Mother who takes care of
children would not let anything hap
pen to us until we got to the bed
side of poor Mary Devlin. She
was still living When we got there
and little Mary was looking out
for us. When she caught a glimpse
of .Mr. Starmount she literally threw
r.crself inio his arms.
'I knew you would come,' she
exclaimed tearfully.
'Of course I'd come child. How
is your -mother nowf'
'' 'I think she is just waiting for
you, my lord, before sho goes to
sleep forever.'
' 'Perhaps she will be better when
sho gets what sho wants to say
to me off her chest, Mary.'
"The two walked up into Mary's
mother's room and I followed Mr.
Parker. '
"Poor woman, I remember when
Mary Devlin Mary Floherity that
was was the prettiest girl in all
Nillarney.
"I was in love with her then a
was all the boys around about and
God help mo, I am in love with he
now."
Parker s attention was arrested
thore while Muleahy's voice flowed
on over the great outstanding fact
of such a love as famous poets have
immortalized. Romance, like gold
Parker mused, is where you find it
The policeman s simple, casuul state
ment of something that through th
long years had come to be an every
day fact, explained many things. It
explained ins vigilant guard over
the desolate little family of the
tenements. It explained his quick
willingness to sacrifico his place on
the force to continue his watch over
the unhappy girl of Killarney and
her children.
"She opened her eyes and tried to
smile at me, as I knelt by her bed
while the priest was saying the pray
ers for the dying," Muicahy was say
mg wnen parsers attention came
back, "hut she did not say anything
and presently Mr. Starmount, Mary
and f.ddie, and myself were all
alone with her.
" 'Come closer,' she whispored and
we all came very close to her. She
put out her hand to me.
Pat,' she said, 'you will look
after my childreu, won't youf
Of course I will, Mary. I'll be
the father to them I wonld like to
have been."
Then she turned to Mr. Star-
mount and taking Mary's and Ed
die s hands she placed them in his
lou have promised and I discon
tent."
Those were the last words she
ever spoke. Although she did not
really breathe her last until the next
dav.

day after the funeral the doctors
,'ame and performed the operation
on tddie s feet. . Ho is a courage
ous one that little chap. He was
told that he could have his feet fix-
ed with comparatively little pain
if he would submit to lying in be
with braces on for some years or
that he could have it done in abou
eight months of excruciating pain
if he would submit to an operation
He choso the operation in the flash
of an eyelid.
"Little Mary did not shed a tear
when her mother died and was bur
ied, but she nearly wept herself into
a fever over Eddie's operation. She
stood just outside the door of the
operating room the wholo two hours
and a half of the operation and no
thing that Mr. Starmount could say
would make her leave.
"When they opened the door and
her brother was brought out still
under the influence of the ether, she
just quietly fainted and Mr. Star-
mount gathered her up in his arms
and wo followed in a regular little
procession. Mr. Starmount put Mary
in her room and the nurso he had
hired for her mother took her in
charge. Then we went back to see
Eddie.
ay, Mr. Parker, that kid is a
hummer. The first word he spoke
when he came out of the anesthetic
was: 'Are they on straight?'
l'es, my boy,' answered the
doctor who was standing- bv.

"Mr. Starmount told me to tell
you that he would not be down this
week as Mary had not been wefl
enough to get out of bed since She
fainted that night. Say, Mr. Park
er, I certainly think Mary na.ped
him pretty near right, only I would
call him a prince instead of a lqrd.
"He is a queer sort of a man
though. Why, do you know thore is
a woman up there with a little girl
who has tuberculosis of the hip and
sho is a vamp right, Mr. Parker.
Somehow Mr. Starmo'unt can't see
it end everyone is saying he is go
ing to marry her.''
"What are yon talking about,
Pat j Surely Mr. Starmount is not
such an idiot as that."
"Well, you had better go up there
and see about it anyway. He told
me to toll you to come up,"
I cannot go now but I think
I'll tell Jlim to come down hero as
I think I canhave his'case called
next Monday. I think I'll get him

until 12 o'clock, the time set
which was to close the campaign
It had ben announced to the stu
dents that If the drive was sue
cessful all would celebrate by be
ginning the Christmas vacation at
midnight.
Gym Comes First.
One of the first things which
will come out of the campaign
will be the new gymnasium. The
drive was originally to have been
for 1,000,000 but with all of that
needed for the liquidation of debts
and endowment, it was decided
mat 1250,000 additional was
needed for constructing, equiplng
and maintaining a gymnasium.
Part of the amount will likely be
used in the construction of cen
tral power plant which is badly
neded. The old gymnasium burn
ed to the ground s year ago last
May and since that time the physl
cal department has been working
under a serious handicap.
Included in the funds pledged
was the Rockefeller Foundation
pledge of $350,000 and $100,000
each from E. S. Collins, Portland,
and R. A. Booth, Eugene.
Districts Report.
The eastern district, comprising
the eastern part of the conference,
was aloted $75,000 but lacked ap
proximately $15,000 of raising the
amount. The southern districts,
also alolted $75,000, more than
made it up, however, with nearly
$120,000 being raised. Portland,
with their quota of $300,000, was
over thet op yesterday noon, by
about $10,000. Yesterday noon
Salem all of tia quota, set at $250,-
000, but $22,125. Between noon
and midnight the teams worked as
they never had before and reported
that Salem, as in previous drives,
was among those that had made
good its part.
The members of the board of
education, with the exception of
Dr. Smith, left early this morning
for the east to be at home for the
Christmas holidaj-s.
