two orders united in performing
tbe final ceremony. The service
was very beautiful and sugges

laid together upon the casket and
lowered into the grave.

the charge of carrying a conceal

of the Peace Holgate on TuesH
day morning, at 9 o'clock. K
R. Bryson, Deputy Dist. Attorney
for Corvallis, appealed on the
part of the state, while Judge
McFadden appeared as counsel
for the prisoner.
The charge was carrying a con
cealed weapon which the prisoner
admitted .
Arguments in favor of a leni
ent sentence was made by Judge
McFadden while the Dist Attor

mensurate with the consequences
of the act committed.

more reprehensible.

case in a masterly manner, and
imposed a fine of sio.oo and 1m
prisonment in the countv jail for
a term of 50 days. The prisoner

WOMAN'S SUf FR4GE IN OREGON.
Judges Decided That the Women
Should be Allowed to -Vote."
The Amicitians and Jefiersonians. on
last Monday night met in a debate upon
tbe question, Resolved, "That tbe privi
lege of suffrage be granted to the women
of Oregon." The J effersonians " debated
tbe affirmative and gained the decision
unanimously. They were represented
by R. R Selleck, A. S. Hall and .Guy E.
Moore. Tbe Amicitians were represent
ed by D. Hirstele, IE C. Brodie, and A.
S. Wells. The house was well filled and
all gave good attention to the .speakers,
who were all well posted on their sub
ject. " ,- - ' -- - - -
Selleck spoke first and said that since
tbe time . of .Reman power a gradual
reformation has been taking place - and
everv nation as it advances in civiliza
tion has honored woman more and more,
and that as women demand more they
get more. Tnea thev gave three reasons
why we should have woman suffrage:
1, Justice and equity demand it.
2. It has proved successful where it
has been ttied.
3. We need it in order that women
may take more interest in the affairs of
government, thus enabling them to train
their sons to be better citizens.
They said that we must base all our
arguments as to the utility of such a
move on the results of trials along this
line.
They argued that more principle was
needed in our political affairs than exists
at present and that where women have
been given the right to vote -more prjn-
ple has entered in..
It was also shown that if she were
given the ballot she would possess moral
and mental advantage which are now im
possible of attainment, and how unjust
it is that the prisoner, the tramp and the
pauper should be allowed to vote when
a good, pure-minded woman who is
much more capable should be excluded.
The same law hangs a woman that hangs
a man, therefore, they said she should
be allowed the same right to make the
laws. And if her sphere is the home
she should be allowed to help improve
the environment of her children.
The negative then said that Oregon did
not want suffrage for women for she had
twice voted it don and ... the Anti-
Woman's Suffrage League ' is "stronger
than the Woman's -Suffrage . League.
That in Wyoming and Colorado things
were not bettered. They said that if
woman would use tbe ballot box better
than men they would have shown it in
the past by rearing better sons. Thev
will either vote like their male relatives
or unlike them. If they vote like them
they will simply multiply the vote, if
unlike it will cause endless domestic
trouble. Men secured the right of suf
frage by force and women cannot.
They said that in woman suffrage
states the saloon is still licensed. Thev
argued that if women are to vote they
must have office, too. And the ques
tion was asked, "Will a woman who
makes a mess of domestic duties straigh
ten out civil affairs?" At last it was
suggested that if the highest and best
women of the land are given po wer to
vote so are the lowest and vilest.
There is one more debate to decide
the society entitled to the Gatchcup. The
final debate is betw.een the Feronians
and Jeffersonians and the winner will be
declared the best debating society in the
College. The date for the final contest
will be in June.
Prof. Lake is in Portland super
intending the setting out of fruit
trees and the arrangement of the
experimental plots. O. A. C. will
have about ten acres given to her
agricultural exhibits. Jiivery de
partment is now arranging to send
an exhibit and will prepare special
work this spring. Some have made
considerable preparation along this
line. O. A. (J. cau make the best
showing of any school in the state
along practical lines such as ma
chine work, wood work, cooking and
dressmaking classes. The Eoglish
department will - also be well rep
resented by a large amount of class
work.
