"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes" -byron. A Super-University Mrs. George Gcrlinger, regent of the University of Ore gon is reported in the Eugene Guard as warning the Eugene Chamber of Commerce that a movement is underway to unite the university and agricultural college in one institu tion controlled by a common that such a merger is likely to sion of the legislature which two institutions should block. We hope the lady is right, for tis a consumation devoutly to be wished, from the taxpayers viewpoint. Such a merger Ehould eliminate duplication of courses, faculties, and over head, and make for economy and efficiency. It is an absurd and costly extravagance for a small and poor state like Ore gon to attempt to support two great rival educational insti tions within a few miles of each other. There is as much use for them as for two Topsy's in Uncle Tom's cabin. ,' Of course the plant investment of each is considerable, but it would be utilized in the merged institution and found sufficient for years to come. As it is, both institutions have to exercise considerable ingenuity in the creation of new departments and in the addition of educational frills and foibles to spend their enormous revenues and give them excuse for fresh appeals for funds. v The Agricultural college is an misnomer, for agriculture is merely one course of many taught and far from being the ... best patronized. The institution is really a school of tech nology and science and as such will fit in with the art, lit erary and classical courses, of the university. Inasmuch as the university find the college,, in the person of unusual executive capacity fitting that he be appointed and put in charge of the work could be found for the job than no better monument for posterity than a super-university. Governor Pierce could do nothing as constructive, or more practical in the way of tax-cutting than sponsoring such a merger, a movement that would not only win state-wide sup port, but should be encouraged by both institutions and the communities in which they are located, which will all benefit in the long run. A Wet Governor A. Harry Moore, recently elected democratic governor of New Jersey by a majority of 41,000 on a platform calling for modification of the Volstead act to include light wines and beer, has been a teetotler and Sunday school teacher for 25 years, and his election is partially due to the fact that his "boys" now voters all over the state, supported him loyally. Mr. Moore, who is now 4G, left school at 13 to become a messenger boy and help support the family. He went back after he was 40 to study law, but the big interest all of his life has been boys and he is the originator of state marble and other contests and founder of numerous public play grounds and athletic fields. The governor-elect believes that men are developed and character built by facing dangers and choosing freely to resist not by having a paternalistic state remove tempta tion. He is wet, but against ihe saloon and for the VV. C. T. U. which he declares was founded to build-up an intelligent resistance to temptation, to promote temperance as differ ing from prohibition. Mr. Moore declares the prohibition issue the livest in America and that it will continue to be until it is settled nil over again "removed from national dictatorship and left to the choice of states." He is the third wet to be elected tfomnor of New Jresey and the "symbol of public protest." He says: "We have reached this degree of frankness In New Jersev. Wo don't evade this Ihsuo which Is nearest to the thinking of thousands of voters and iry to stir up smnko on minor (mentions. And whether other slates agree with New Jersey on prohibition or not, I think they will asree on our method of regarding it squarely as a ques tion upon whieh the people have a right to say yes or no."

Billy tried to eat. nnd Marie made a pert rune of do ing so; she really was hungry, but Rtmehow she could not swallow the caviare sandwiches that Junny had ordered, or drink the coffee that Billy had siiKKosted that they have. Instead of wine. Jnnny, how eer. Insisted on wine, nnd laughed at Marie over the brim of her glass as fhe proposed a toast. "Here's to us three may we meet often!" she remarked, and then added, "but not till BUI and I nre married," nodding to Marie. "You're much too attractive for me to want you to see too much oi Billy.' Ma lie wnnted to leave, but Jan ny Insisted that she stay. "Even though the wedding In set for next week, I need a chnperone," she paid. "If you run away you'll spoil the party. Oh, I know that I came up hero alone, but that doesn't matter that was earlier in the evening." Kilty wna very quiet; he looked completely exhausted, and Marie tried to get Janny to leave so that he could get to bed. But Janny re fused to be hurried, especially when she realised that Marie wan ted her to go, and dawn wo steal ing across the eky when at last Hilly escorted them down stairs and got a cab.

No abler man Dr. Kerr and he could leave Janny went to sleep with her head on his shoulder ns soon as I hey were well started; Billy let her in close charge of the butler at her father's house, whom he aroused after prolonged efforts and returned to Marie. ".Marie, will you bo an nngel and go to break f on t with me some where?" he begged. "I'm tired and hungry, and more than either food or rest I want a chance to talk to you. We could get to some all night place-some of the dance clubs aro still open ' "No, let's not," she answered decidedly. "There must be other restaurants, that would be quiet er " "All right. -Why I'll tell you: lei's go to that white front place near the rnllwny station where we came to the day we first arrived here; shall we?" Marie nodded, although she won dered how he could benr to re vive so sweet nnd so heart-breaking a memory. They had been so hap py then, and so hopcrul! Billy had perfected his Invention at last, and they had come to the city to see some men who were Interested la It. They did not know whether fame and fortune lay within hi grasp, or whether years of poverty lay ahead of them. They had arrived early In the morning, and had eaten breakfast in t he first ehea p resta uran t, there hadn't been enough money to afford meals on the train! But they had been so happy that thev huidly knew what they were eat intf. And now he wanted to go back to the same place perhaps to celebrate the new lire on which he was embarking with Janny, and the success that had come to him and so made It possible. As they faced each other across the bare, white ropped table, he looked straight Into her eyes. "It's like a bit of heaven to see you again, dear," he said quietly. "I've thought so much about you, wondered Janny said she had heard that you were going to mnrry Bob Randall. Is that true?" She shook her head. "Maybe later," she answered, "but I could n't do It now." Ho stared at the table without speaking for a moment. "Are you in love with him?" he asked, presently, and she knew from hie voice thut It hurt him to ask that question. "No, but he's been a good friend," she answered, "and he loves me." "Yet you came to me tonight when you were In trouble," he said triumphantly. "Yes, because he was out of tewn," she replied. She knew that in any event she would have wanted to come to him but it hurt her to feel that he had been able to come back to this plnce In or der to contract the past, the happy pant, with this future that was so bitter to her. "Oh, I see." He lighted a cigar ette, then suddenly, threw It to the floor and crushed out its spark beneath his heel. "Marie, I've made a mistake," ho told her bluntly. "I don't sup-, pose you care for me any more; i I don't see how you could, nfter1 the way I've acted? telling you that! I loved Janny and wanted to marry her, when I look back now, I feel that I was crazy. I can't un derstand It. I don't love her, never have. I realize that now.

The city health officer is placed in an equally difficult po sition. Deprived of direct author ity, he continues in his office and is the first one against whom per sons turn in nn effort to place the blame for the outbreak of acon taglous disease. Crime is control led by concentration of authority into the hands of one man, the chief of police; fire Is controlled by the same method, but Salem has adopted a policy unique among cities of the United States of con trolling contnglous disease under a haphazard method of divided esponsibllity. Under provisions of Oregon state law tlie state health officer, Fred erick Striker, could If he . aw fit asFume direct charge of Salem, take such measures as In his opin ion were necessary to handle the present threatened smallpox epi demic, and collect expenses from the city.

I FA-VOGJ -3 OMJCHTER OOlT CARE onstration, operating here under the Hnrkncss Commonwealth fund of New York, when asked today concerning the customary methods of dealing with contagious diseases, stated that practically everywhere the Immediate attending physician is authorized nnd required to place temporary quarantine upon any case of a known suspected contag ious diesease, but that hiB author ity, so far as the quarantine is con cerned. Is nt the earliest possible moment turned over to a specified health officer. The attending physician continues as such, and has entire charge of treating the case, but has nothing to say about the quarantine. JiCgullty Is Question A question of law Is raised over the legality of the present provis ion In force In this city, entirely aside from its ineffectiveness. The 'egulation delegates police power, apparently, to everyone who gives medical advice. It is held by some that the statutes never intended to permit the delegation of police power beyond the hands of certain specified officials, of which the city health officer would logically he one. There is nothing said In the city regulation about police power, but the city attorney Is quoted as saying that the quaran tines ordered by individual physi cians can be enforced, and that the physicians can be fined or other wise punished for not ordering them, although the point lias never been tried out In court. The state statutes on the subject in several places use the term "health officer or physician in charge," which ls taken by some to mean that au thority rests In both. 'Our experience has been." said Dr. Brown this morning, "that the best and In the end the most eco nomical method of handling the situation Is to have a full time coun ty health officer who has full Juris diction over all cases of communic able disease." Too Many Officers At present there is a city health Sparkey Knows Or It Might Have WEV.WWTA MiMUTE.' v ( ,.iL Woo -rt2.EflT Me wiora.B BWie - LAKE A lAA-MCWMOM TUAN V y A FIAUCE ' c v uke toot fma llllliL ff" . : 1 r-m m 1 PI 1 I I I 1 i ll!

A school physician Is employed dur ing the school year at an annual salary of $500. Dr. D. R. Ross oc cupies this position. Dr. C. E. Caeh att, county health officer, and like wise employed on part time. Is said to receive $600 per year for hit; services. The combined amounts paid tho three men is $1850, with no centralized Jurisdiction and no positive authority In any of the three. There Is little doubt, however, that if the present regulations were given teeth and strictly enforced the situation would be much safer. State law requires "every person in the state of Oregon who treats or examines," for disease to com municate with the local health of ficer in case he finds any contag ious disease, or even suspected con tagious disease, within a period of 54 hours. The ordinance as adopt ed a year ago reads in part as fol lows: " and In case such physic ian or other person shall fail or neglect to place such flag (quaran tine sign) as aforesaid, it is here by made the duty of the said health officer, as soon as he Is informed of the exlstencetf any such disease in any house or building, to cause such flag to be placed as afore said." The first part of the ordinance however, which is obviously inten ded to make the Individual phys ician or other attendant responsi ble for the quarantine, reads ns. follows: "It shall be and la here by the duty of the owner or occu pant of every house or building In said city, wherein any person may have smallpox ........ to immed iately give notice of such disease, to city health officor of said city. and it shall be nnd la hereby the duty of every physician or other person practicing the science or healing who shall attend a per son affected with any of the afore said diseases to immediately give i Boo-nooJ - , X SEE.iT All. i v UOXI& ME Q, the Art of Self-Defense Been Tuesday notice to the public of the txistence of any such disease In such house oc building ' by erecting the ie qulred quarantine flag. The original city ordinance, pass" ed In 1906, states that It shall be the duty of the city health officer, "When so Instructed by the board of health" to pronounce quarantine or take other precautionary meas ures. The board of health Is de fined as synonlmous with tho city council. The city council now has a health and police committee, consisting of Johnson, Roschraugh and Hcrrlck.
