LIBERAL MS
True to Form
"Who is governor of Oregon ?" asks the Portland Journal
as a result of the abdication of his appointive powers by
Governor Pierce and his turning over the fish commission
appointments to state senators as fulfillment of ajog-rolling
bargain made during the recent legislative session. Con
tinuing, the Journal remarks:
It is timo for tlio governor lo he governor. If we aro to rotaln
our present form of government Uio chief executive should bo given
the powers of a governor, and he should not barter them away. Or, if
we don t want a governor, our form of government should be altered
to provide legally for a government by commission, to which, in
practice, it is almost reduced so far as the executive branch is
concerned.
But how are you going to keep the governor from barter
ing away state offices? Is not politics a game of barter?
What are parties for, except the jobs? What are campaigns
for, except the plums? What else is there to reward the
patriots who deliver the votes?
This fish commission deal is different only in form, not in
principle, in that the senate names the members, instead of
the Anti-Saloon League, or the Portland Journal, or the
Grange, or other supporters with whom the governor has
bartered patronage for support. The senators in selecting
themselves, have followed Pierce precedent, and named a
commission that knows nothing of its work.
Who is governor of Oregon? Walter Pierce, of course,
running true to form and enjoying every minute of it even if
seldom in Salem.
A New High School Course
A communication from Pasadena, California, informs
newspapers that the high school of that city has established
a department of journalism, and information is requested
from editors as what to teach the pupils in a course entitled
"A survey of the field of journalism" so that students may
become acquainted "with the opportunities, qualifications
and necessary preparation for various types of work in con
nection with newspapers, magazines and publicity work as
well as printing and advertising."
Thus the high school has appropriated another frill in its
gradual encroachment upon the field of the university. It
beats all how resourceful and enterprising the public school
machine is in originating new schemes for spending tax
payers money. No sooner is a new course established in the
universities, than agricultural colleges duplicate it and high
schools borrow it. The grammar schools will probably not
l.-iir.rim fur behind in this age of progress.
The fact that the tutors do not know what to loot only
adds to the attractiveness of the journalistic course. It
isn't necessary that they should know, for can't everybody
run a newspaper better than those engaged in the work?
Ask any reader he knows. Cut the instruction seems
superfluous for high school youth of today know everything
under the sun.
A defense of the liberal arte
type of education, as compared
with Uio more practical phase of
higher learning, was made by Dr.
Carl Gregg Doney, president of
Willamette university, making the
baccalaureate sermon for the Wil
lainette graduating class at the
first Methodist church Sunday
ijorning.
Taking his text from the first
chapter of Genesis, "Replenish the
earth and subdue It," Dr. Doney
declared that "unless the world
be subdued in more ways than the
material, civilization Is on its way
to destruction."
He traced briefly the develop
ment of human civilization from
its very beginning, describing how
men gradually developed, organ
ized and perfected modern society.
"Ages went by," he said, "until
there came tho era of power." He
estimated that the era of which
he spoke began some 50 years ago,
with the first beginning of the
steam engine. "Wo have been
ushered into that ago of power,"
he declared, "and man has be
come great."
Describing the saloon, and other
conditions uffecting social life
50 years ago, when time was al
most fully occupied with working,
he said, "Picture what would be
the result if we had our present
leisure and wages, and lived as we
did then."
The gist of his address was that
modern education which Is direct
ed toward the end of using llesure
to best advantage Is fully as im
portant as education of the more
lirectly practical type. "Modern
life," declared Dr. Doney, "is be-
My Ma trimoniAl
Vacation by Violet Dare
I did not send Virginia word that
I was was coining home, eo whan
the steamer readied New York I
had nobody to meet me.
It seema to me that there's noth
Ing much more dismal than ai'rlv
ing in a city, even if It's your own
home, and not having anyone to
meet you. It didn't take mo long
to go through the customs, as 1
had only a little over-night bag,
and hadn't bought anyhing in the
West Indies. I got a taxi at once
tnd started on tho long drive home
my thoughts in a turmoil.
Somehow, back in New York, Bill
liwing seemed very far away, al
most like a myth. I began to won
der if I had dreamed the whole
thing.
I stopped and cable d Jim on tho
way home. I didn't want to wait
till I got there and told my plans
to Virginia before I did it. She had
such a way of arguing me out of
things, and though she had never
cared for Jim and had dono her
best to make trouble between us,
I knew that she'd want me to wait
till she could find out more about
Bill before I did anything.
She was not at home when I got
there. Our little maid followed
me Into my room and told me all
the news; I had always liked her,
and had never discouraged her in
her habit of gossip I nff.
"I gresa your mothers' going to
marry Mr. Harrison, all right," she
announced. "Ho takes her out all
the timo; she's having luncheon
somewhere with him now."
Well, if Virginia did become
coming a race between education
and conscience."
Tho First Methodist church was
packed full to hear the sermon,
large numbers being turned away.
Mrs. Harrison my worries would
be partly over, I told myself. She
wouldn't nag so at me, urging me
to make a rich marriage, liten. But
' of course, when I married Bill I'd
he marrying a rich man, so she'd
have nothing to scold me for then
There was an attractive French
restaurant nearby, and when I had
rested awhile I dressed and went
there for luncheon, hoping I'd see
someone I knew. I folt very lone'
iy, suddenly. Nick was the only
person I could think of who'd be
a sympathetic companin, and he
might not be particularly sympa
thetic, as I'd run off to the tropics
without even calling him up to say
goodbye.
I even tried to get him on the
telephone before I left home, but
at his office they said that he'd
gone out and had not left word
when he'd be back.
I felt lonier than ever when I
entered the restaurant and sat
down at a corner table. New York
can be such a big, empty place
when you're alone! And everyone
else seemed to be having such a
gay time, and, and enjoying life
so much.
I had almost finished luncheon.
and was wondering what I would
do next, and how long It would be
before I heard from Jim, when a
man and girl entered the restaur
ant. I couldn't see their faces Just
at first, but I noticed the way the
man took the girl's arm, and drew
her aside as another woman al
most bumped Into her.
Quite obviously, he cared a good
deal about her he was so eager to
look out for her. Well, that was
the way Bill would be with me,
I told myself, by way of consol
ation.
And then they turnod, and I saw
their faces. It was Nick and his
Wife!
And when I went away I'd had
to urge him to go to see her, and
he had insisted that since she had
left him and safd she never wanted
to see him again, there was
reason for his going to see her slm
ply because she had changed her
mind about him. And he d insisted
that he'd care more for me than
ho did for her!
A sickening thought came to me.
Would absence act that way with
Bill Kwing?
Perhaps I was foolish to burn
my bridges behind me. But I told
myself that I didn't care what hap
pencd, I'd gone through the farce
of being Jim's wife long enough.
And i could depend on Bill, always!
I finished luncheon, and rose to
go. On the way out I passed the
table where Nick and his wife
were sitting. They glanced up and
held out his hand.
"Nancy! It's great to see you
igiiln. Oh, Nancy you met my
wifo some time ago "
I couldn't help being, malicious.
"Celebrating a second honey
moon?" I asked, smiling. I be
grudged them their happiness,
when mine was so far away.
Nicks wife glared at me, but he
just laughed.
"Yes, we're making up for a fool
h mistake aren't wo, dear?" he
said to her.
She nodded, and I left them
smiling Into each other's eyes.
What a funny world. Married, di
vorced, remarried how many cou
ples there were like Nick and his
wife, who played with the mar
riage laws as If they had no mean
ing. "Love, honor and obey"
meaningless words, now.
My thoughts swung back to my
self. I'd taken those same vows
In tho beautiful chapel at West
Point, with Jim and now I was
planning to take them with some
one else just as soon as I could.
"Till death do us part" I'd have
that omitted from the next mar
riage ceremony that I participated,
in, I told myself. 1
