FREAK PROFESSORS.
Throughout this great land of
our3 are many colleges and uni
versities for the dissemination
of knowledge. This is as it
. should be, but the pity is that
nearly every great institution of
learning is embarrassed by the
presence of some freak profes
sor. Perhaps the first on the
list in the production of these
freaks is the University of Chi
cago. Professor Charles Zueblin, of
this institution, claims to have
made a particular study of our
marriage laws and resultant con
ditions. He declares that there
can be and that there are more
holy alliances outside the mar
riage bond than within it. Not
knowing Herr Zueblin's state
bachelor or benedict it is im
possible to indulge with accuracy
in a discussion of his household
affairs. However, it may be
stated that if he is married he or
his wife made a sad mistake
when the vows were taken.
Should we judge him from a
point of single blessedness the
idea is uppermost that he is in
love with some girl he cannot get.
The gentleman goes on to state
that he endorses probationary
marriage. Should such a condi
tion become a reality, and there
is little fear of it, the state would
have a sorry task on hand in the
matter of caring for a batch of
half-legitimate children. Here
is a point beyond which the
imagination of even a freak pro
fessor does not seem capable of
leading him.
Were there no higher instincts
to deter mankind from probation
marriages the matter of progeny
is a sufficient safeguard against
the proposition. Wise men and
women realize the duties of par
ents and it is the province of the
state to deal severely with all
remissness on the part of those
who are responsible for the pro
pagation of their kind. In all
Professor Zueblin says there is
nothing worthy serious consider
ation and the conclusion is that
he is a freak.
REGARDING WHEAT.
It seems that in other states
than Oregon the advisability of
raising wheat is much discussed.
Particularly is this true of cer
tain sections of Minnesota where
they sow wheat year after year
arill where it is said each suc
ceeding year sees the raisers of
chis crop grow poorer. It is
stated that wheat throughout
the length and breadth of Min
nesota will not average more
than 12 or 13 bushels per acre-
This condition in a sister state
comes home to Willamette Val
ley farmers, who for years have
stuck i;o wheat-raising. The ma
jority of our wheat growers are
fortunate if they keep even in
persistently raisin the cereal.
But they persist just the same
Far betier go into other things
raisa stock, go into dairying.
There arc two good creameries
operating in Corvallis today and
there will come a time when
there will be plenty of business
for two more. Benton county is
large enough to furnish a good
business for from a dozen to
twenty creameries, and she will
do so some day.
To digress a little it may be
stated that men who have made
a study of the subject declare
that rather than raise wheat at
current prices wuuld be the
part cf wisdom u allow your
fields to become forests. This
seems strong, but : considering
the fact that lumber is becoming
more scarce each year, while the
price goes correspondingly high
er it is possible there is . some
thing in the assertion. - V
It is claimed that if land were
planted with trees and properly
cared "for during a period of
thirty-five years the owner of
the timber could market it and
have more money than if he had
raised wheat continuously. All
of this does not argue well for
wheat-raising. As few can wait
thirty-five years for results it
seems the part of wisdom to en
gage in diversified farming,
stock-raising and dairying.
WHAT IS AN ARISTOCRAT?
Not so very long ago our at
tention was directed to an arti
cle which appeared in a journal
of prominence, dealing with the
matter of American aristocracy.
The writer of the article in
question seemed most ardently
to desire the advent of a blooded
aristocracy in America.
It was set forth that nearly all
of us had blue blood in our veins
and some might boast of royalty.
The writer laid bare an awful
ache for a "coat of arms" and a
lot of other fads that stamp him
as anything but a true Amer
ican. It is just such nabobs and
nincompoops who desire to de
stroy American traditions and
institutions.
Let no person worry lest the
line of distinction between the
self-styled aristocrat and the
plebeian be not drawn in the
United States. The marking of
that line is approaching rapidly,
despite the efforts of our really
better class. The foremost thing
in the minds of the majority of
the American people is "money."
A man is rated by his bank ac
count, not for any mental achieve
ment or gentlemanly qualities.
This fact will hasten the forma
tion of a class line.
So far as blue blood is con
cerned it may not be wise for the
majority to look into the records
of their ancestors too closely;
even though morally certain that
such records would stand scru
tiny. The chances are that at
some time a scion of every noble
family has been hanged or be
headed, ,or at least deserved to
be, foi they were but mortal.
Hero worship is beyond us and
we have no patience with ' the
numerous abominable cads who
show enough of the monkey to
ape something simply because it
is silly and freakish.
Far better would it be if, in
stead of striving for the estab
lishment of classes in this coun
try, we could produce serious
minded men and women, capable
of doing something to make the
world better. What is an aris
tocrat, anyway? Nine times out
of ten what passes for an aristo
crat is a weak-minded creature
who inherited more wealth than
he was capable of handling.
They Appreciate Favors.
Tho ladies of the W. C. T. TJ. wish to
thank all who so kindly patronized the
social Friday evening,' at which $27.10
was realized above all expense. This,
with the amount received from the busi
ness men and other citizens the past
week, rednces the debt on the Reading
Room property to $2S0.
Onw business man, who is a frequent
visitor to the Reading Room, volunteered
to donate cents a ir.octa until the debt
is paid. He is not a wealthy man and
has a family to support, hut he appre
ciates the value of the Reading Room to
Corv:iliis and "icinity, and is willing to
aid the women who have labored so un
tiringly to maintain this free Reading
Room and resting place in Corvallis
volunteer donations have a cheering
effect upon members of the Union, and
this one business man's example is wor
thy of emulation.
W. F. Whitney arrived in this city
Friday end is seeking a location. At
present his fam'ly is in Portland, but
they are recent arrivals from Colorodo,
where they were known by J. J. Cady,
now of this city.
Clay Shepard, the popular OAC stu
dent who was widely known because of
hi9 faithful work in the college Y. M. C.
A., was seen at his home near Salem
by a Corvallisite last week. At this time
Clay was slightly improved, and some
hopes are entertained of his recovery. A
balcony has been built in the npper part
of the house, and this Mr. Shepard oc
cupies meet of the time, thus obtaining
the fresh air that is now considered of
each value in the cure of lung.. troubles. '
SNOOK HAS IT.
Contract For. Women's Building
at Agricultural College.
" It seem? certain that at last
there is to be a woman's building
at OAC. The contract has been
signed and H. Snook, the Siiein
man who built the Agricultural
Hall, will do the work.
The date set for the building to
be completed is July i 1907, it
being, the purpose to have the
structure completed and furnished
by the opening of the next school
year.
The gronnd story will be of
Cascade granite and the two up
per stories of Pioneer - sandstone.
The building will have ample
room for 200 girls, besides
providing rooms for the house
hold . science and dressmaking
classes, and probably for the mu
sic and drawing classes.
As planned now, the building
will be the largest and most cost
ly on the college grounds.
In shape it will be similar to
the letter F., the stem extending
north and south, the wings being
on the west. On the south there is
an TL, 50 leet wide and 103 feet
long, add at any time desired an
other L can be added to the
north end, affording accommoda
tions for another hundred girl
students.
The building has long been
needed at OAC and it is certain
to be a factor in increasing the
attendance of girls at the college,
as in the past there has been a
scarcity of apartments for lady
students.

Do Yoa Want to Know
What You Swallow?
Thcro is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of medicktes of kxown
cosirowriON. It Is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine
Recognizing this growing disposition
on tlio part of the public, and satisfied
that tho fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation of his medi
cines. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
has "taken time by the forelock," as it
were. ana is publishing broadcast a list
of all the ingrcdionts entering into his
leafling medicines, tho "Golden Medical
Discovery " the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of hi3 "Favorite Prescrip
tion" for weak, over -worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
ths part of Dr. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
aro composed oi, completely disarmed all
harping critics who nave heretofore un
justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
Dr. Pierce's medicines. A copy of this
little book is mailed free to any one de
firing to learn mora concerning the valu
able, native, mndicinal plants which enter
into the composition of Dr. Pierce's med

. '"The real point is, Jim, that we have
not yet discovered what ship this boat
belongs to." .
"No, an' what's more, we wont find
oat in a hurry. Her name's gone fore
and aft"
"Is there nothing left to help us?"
"Only this." ;
The sailor produced the brooch from
his waistcoat pocket. It was of the
safety pin order, but made of gold and
ornamented with small emeralds set as
a fom? leafed shamrock.
"Is the maker's name on the sail?"
"No. I fancy that this craft was rig
ged on board ship for harbor crnisin'."
Brand passed a hand wearily across
his forehead.
"I wish I had not been so precipi
tate," he murmured. "That man had
papers on him, in all likelihood."
"You couldn't. have stood it, mate. It
was bad enough for me. It must ha'
been worse for you."
"Perhaps the baby's clothes are
marked." " . ' '
"That's a chance. She was well rig
ged out."
Brand cast the shark loose. The
monster slid off into the green depths.
"AJil That Is very important."
A noiseless procession of dim forms
rushed after the carcass. The birds,
shrill with disappointment, darted off
to scour the neighboring sea.
Beyond the damaged boat, bumping
against the rock, and the huge jaws
with their rows of wedge shaped teeth,
naught remained to testify to the
drama of the hour save the helpless
baby on which the head keeper was
waiting so sedulously.
Already the signal "Doctor wanted"
was fluttering from the lighthouse flag
staff. It would be noted at the Land's
End and telegraphed to Penzance.
The morning would be well advanced
before help could reach the Gulf Bock
from ashore. 1
When Brand and Spence entered
Jones' bedroom they found him hard
at work washing the child's clothing.
"Bhe's asleep," he said, jerking his
head toward a bunk. "I gev' her a
pint of mixture. She cried a bit when
there was no more to be had, but a
warm bath with some boric acid in it
made her sleepy. An' there she Is,
snug as a cat."
The domesticated Jones was up to
his elbows in a lather of soap.
"Have you noticed any laundry
marks or initials on her clothing?"
asked Brand.
"Yes. Here you ars."
He fished out of the bubbles a little
vest, on which were worked the letters
E. T. in white silk.
"Ah! That is very important. We
can establish her identity, especially if
the laundry mark is there also."
"I'm feared there's nothing else,"
said Jones. "I've not looked very care
fully, as it'll take me all my time to
get everything dry afore the tug comes.
As for ironin', it can't be done. But
my missus '11 see after her until some;
body turns up to claim her."
"That may be never."
"Surely we will get some news of the
ship which was lostT'
"Yes, that is little enough to expect.
Yet it is more than probable that her
parents are dead. A baby would be
separated from her mother only by the
mother's death. There is a very real
chance that poor 'E. T.' will be left for
years on the hands of those who take
charge of her now. The only alterna
tive is the workhouse."
"That's so, cap'n." put in Jim. "You
i always dis to the heart of a subjec',
even if it's a sliark."
"In a word, Jones, you can hardly be
asked to assume such a responsibility.
Now, it happens that I can afford to
adopt the child if she lives and is not
claimed by relatives. It is almost a
duty imposed on me by events. When
the doctor comes, therefore, I purpose
asking him to see that she is handed
over to Mrs. Sheppard, the nurse who
looks after my own little girl. I will
write to her. My turn ashore comes
next week. Then I can devote some
time to the necessary inquiries."
Jones made no protest. He knew
that Brand's suggestion was a good
one, and he promised silence with re
gard to the figbt with the shark. Men
in the lighthouse service are quick to
grasp the motives which cause others
to avoid publicity. They live sedate,
lonely lives. The noise, the rush, the
purposeless activities of existence
ashore weary them. They have been
known to petition the Trinity Brethren
tD send them back to isolated stations
when promoted to localities where the
pleasures and excitements of a town
Avere available. .
