Psalm 4:8. The University Row The governor of Oregon and the regents of the state university at Eugene are being called to task by the student body for having had the temerity to dismiss one professor, and abolish his department, accept the resignation of another and failed to reappoint a third instructor because the university faces a $60,000 deficit and economies are declared essential. The student newspaper sharply lectures the regents, and instructs them in policies to be pursued. What else can be expected in these modern days when students run the schools? It was very inconsiderate of the regents to take any action without first consulting the student body and securing its consent. Regents should have learned this lesson from Reed college, where the selec tion of a new president precipitated such a hubbub. At the same time the university regents, not only in this case, but in many other instances, have laid themselves open to censure for the secrecy with which they veil their proceedings. They act as though this state institution was thejr own property, instead of the public s and have system' atically suppressed accounts of their procedures concerning expenditure of taxpayers money. The regents' plea that their actions were dictated from motives of economy, must be taken with a grain of salt. There has been no real effort made to reduce expenditures by elimination and consolidation. There is only one way to effect material economy in our higher educational institu tions, and that is to place them all under a common board of regents to be conducted as parts of one institution instead of rival schools, each overlapping and duplicating efforts of others. Violating the Constitution Says the Corvallis Gazette-Times: A Salem man has ecu (tiled $3,000 and sentenced to a year In ail (or operating a still. We would like to see the case eo to the miri:a.e court. 1( this doesn't violate the section o( the constitution relating to "cruel and unusual punishment" then nothing docs. Most tiwe case convictions violate more than one con stitutional provision and unless an appeal is taken to the highest c Jar t, which requires money, the conviction stands. The constitutional provision alleged violated is Article 1, Section 16: Excessive ball shall not be required nor feXt'ewive (ines Imposed. Cruel and unusual punishment shall not be inflicted, but all penalties shall be proportioned to the o((ense. A constitutional provision even more frequently scrapped lor prohibition is Section !, Article 1: No law shall violate the right of. the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against uurcasonoblc search or seizure; und no warrant shall Issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the person or thing to be seized. Another provision generally ignored is Section 12, Article 1: No person shall be put in jeopardy twice lor the same offense. Yet cities habitually penalize a person, then turn him over to the county and the state to penalise him again, and then he is passed on to the federal government for a third penalty, Another constitutional provision violated every day in booze cases is Section 9, Article 1: There shall be no Imprisonment (or debt except In case of fraud or absconding debtors. Yet our jails are filled with persons who cannot, because of poverty, pay the fines exacted in addition to imprison ment, and are compelled to remain in prison for a credit at the rate of $2.00 per day to apply upon fines which is noth ing but imprisonment for debt. It is principally the poor who are penalized because they cannot afford to establish their riglits by appeal but th"y are perhaps lucky in not being shot at sunrise.

I realized that when 1 beg. to wonder how I was aoina to net the money .to heln Vli-tfinw out, so that she couli nay for the a:ock tthe'd bought. I knew that I could go tc Frank llarriaon and ak him to lend It to nio. Ilut I didn't want to. There was is'tck Wayne, but he wouldn't bo nble to help me. much as he'd want to. Anyway. I hal no intention of poing out and borrowing money. This was going tc be a business-like trans action. Oh, how I enviei women who are alile to earn money! 1 tried and irled to think of something that I eould do, and there wasn't a thin?,: not one. Virginia hal told me the name of her broker. Finally after racking my brains for an hour, I decided to so to see him. Perhaps he could till Street something. I drowsed in my prettiest clothes picked up the gold mesh bag with the emerald clasp that had caused me more than one pans' of con science, and summoned the car that Frank Harrison had been ao Insistent about our using. After all, I might aa well do the thing in style: The broker Virginia dealt with had an office downtown, so I brav ed tho tenors of the business sec tion, whore I'd never been before. I felt terribly out of place in the elevntor which took me up to his office. Everybody else locked so important. There were two girts about my own age who might have been stenographers or something like that. I could tell from something- they said that they worked. How I t-nvled them! And then I saw one of them glancing at my mesli bag, and I realized that probably she was en vying me. It alie d only known the tr.itli! .1 found the right office, and went in, and r.sked f-jr the r.ian whose name Virginia had given me. She asked who wanted to nee him, and I said Mrs La mi tea, ami she wrote something on a curd cud gave it to an office boy. My eyes are very keen even unslde down I could se? what she wrote. It way Hhe's awfully pretty." I felt better after that. If he was the kind of man who's influ enced by looka, I knew that U wouldn't be quite to hard for me to face him. "Mr. Jordan will see you now, Mrs. Larabce," the girl said a mo ment later, and I followed tlie boy down the hall, and Into a private office. A man glanced up nj J. t-ntercd. My heart be;jan t flutter like a caged bird. It. was the man I'd run away from ju?t a few days before, the :nan whose house I'd blundered in to In an effort to escape Frank Xfarrison when I was on my way to keep an engagement with Nick. I'd have run away again if I could have. Hut I couldn't. I juM leaned against tho doo. for an in stant, and thon went forward and twit dewn besile his de3k as If I hadn't remembered him. After all, I'd had only a glimpse of him. Per haps he wouldn't remember me. Uut he did. He had rien when I went In. He just stood there and milled, and then broke into laugh ter. "Ah the young lady v.ho was looking for 'an old school friend' BRINGING UP FATHER who did.i't exitt," he eaid. -ht young lady who cava a park Ave nue address at random, and then discovered that she couldn t get out of entering the house It be longed to. .The young lady who was Invited to stay and have A cocktail, und promised to do so, and thtn ran away from her boat the moment his back was turned." "I hod to, ' I niuiwcred. "Jt was later than I'd supposed, and I couldn't wait to say geodbye." "And now you've come to be? my pardon, and allow me to extend another invitation?" he asked. trust that's the case. "No, I've come on business," I told him, and explored what it was. He was awfully nice then, and nfter he'd talked half an hour and used a lot of terms that I dijn't know the meaning ofhe said that Virginia could have a week mora In which to pay up the margin on her stock, and that he was cure it would go ut In tho meantime and then she'd be all riht. "And now you're gcing to prom Iso to dine with me .uid keep the promise," ho sail, when he'd fin ished. "Oh, but surely. I replied; with! that weight off my mind I'd have promised anything within reason. After all, he had been kind. "Tonight!" he asked. I said that would do. I had an engagement, but resolved to break It and get 1 tis other thing off my mind at once. He aaid that he would come for me. But shortly after I got home a boy brought me a box of spring flowers, jonquills and tulips and daffodils and hyacinths a won derful maw of color. Tucked Into the middle was a note. Wouldn't I dine with him at hid home. A few friends were coming, nnd it would be delightful if I would. There was Just enough of an ele ment of adventure In It to tempt me. I sent him a telegram saying that I'd be there. Tomorrow Heard hip: the Lion.
