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."

there In Billy's apartment while
.lanny gaily ate supper and chat
tod about the pinna for her wed

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

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. I love
you, more than I ever did In my
life. I hate the thought of going
on without you. When I think
of your understanding, your sym

Health Officer Handicapped
3. 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.

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."

ing the school year at an annual

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

The original city ordinance, pass"

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
