CHEAP OR IGNORANT.
Since the last session of the
kgi lature for the Scate of Ore
gon it has coma to Te a recogniz
ed fact that we have quite a
class of men and women who
oppose higher education a larger
class, in fact, than we had sup
posed. It is more or less a matter of
surprise and regret that the
grange of the state should be
obliged to confess that the pro
posed invocation of the referen
dum to hold up the appropriation
for the state university, should
come from its ranks. However,
it is but fair to state that, the
grange in the state is not united
on the proposition.
The appropriation of the last
1 -iilature was 125, 000 per an
r i. m. It seems quite a sum, but
i ; reality it is but a modest re
cognition of the needs of the uni
i . sicy. It is about one-fourth
.at the legislature of Califor
nia has done for Berkley. Wash
ington recently appropriated
$225,000 per annum for her uni
v jrsity. So it will be seen that
the value and importance placed
upon higher education by the
last legislature of Oregon is con
siderable below the figures of
our sister states to the north and
south of us, if the matter is es
timated in dcllars and cents-
Anything of value is more or
less expensive and if the citizens
of Oregon wish to st.and before
the world as an enlightened and
regressive people they mast
foster all things educat'ona! and
expect to pay for all reasonable
demands. A well-equipped and
well -endowed state university
should be the pride of the peo
ple. It the item of expense for
higher education be deemed too
great do not cut off the universi
ty at Eugene, but do what should
have been dona ljng ago shut
off some of the normal schools of
the state. The great expense for
state normals must in the very
nature of things cut no inconsid
erable figure in the cost of higher
education in Oregon and mitigate
against the university at Eugene
which should be the first to be
considered when matters of
higher and broader education are
considered.
CORRUPTION EVERYWHERE.
The question of "Whether we,
the people of the United States,
are more corrupt today than .ve
were yesterday?" may well be
asked. No, all things consider
ed There are more people com
posing the republic than ever be
fore and if the proportion of
corruption remained the same
there must necessarily be more
stench in the public nostril.
Our means of communication
and facilities for placing before
the people the news of the world
are greater today than ever before-
Nor is this all. It is sus
picioned that in the past much
that was corrupt was overlooked
by those supposed to guard the
public interests. Now there is a
moral wave sweeping throughout
the land and one after another
we find corrupt individuals and
corporations exposed to public
gaze and brought to book-
The purity and honesty of the
federal government is responsi
ble for the appearance of so
much corruption, for the govern
mental microscope has been foc
used on many concerns, public
and private, which hitherto
seemed immune. To President
Roosevelt more than another
man do we owe the knowlege
that there is corruption every
where. And to him also we look
for a champion in the war of
purification that is being waged
so vigorously. That we have a
knowledge of so much corrupt
ion does not signify that there is
more corruption today than yes
terday, but that it is given the
general public to know of it.
As a result of a public know
ledge corporate and individual
corruption, and a general gov
ernmental prosecution Jf the
same, better conditions are cer
tain to prevail. The proportion
of honest men and women is las
great in the United States today
as ever in the past and to such
people is given the power to en
force tho demands for a higher
moral standard both in corporate
and individual discharge of all
duties and responsibilities, public
or private,
OREGON'S "BIG STICK."
Tha Story . of the Initiative and
Referendum.
Is the subject for an intensely
interesting and timely article in'
the Ma v issue of the Pacific
Monthly, published in Portland
it teresting to every citizen be
cause it tells of the use of supreme
power by the, people. Timely
because it offers a sure and safe
ntidote for the poison and graft
of corrupt machine politics.
The subject is handled graphic
ally by Lute Pease, the well
known Western writer, who gives
an extreinely interesting and
authoritative account of the di
iect legislation direct nomina
tions movement and other great
reforms, which have placed Ore
on in the forefront of the
world's political progress. "It
has been said that every form of
government except a pure democ
racy have been weighed and
found wanting." Oregon has
practically become a pure democ
racy. ''A peaceful revolution
has been accomplished in this
.-.tatt & revolution that bids fair
to spread throughout the Union."
Oklahoma, Dakota, Washington
and various ether states are bor
rowing Oregon's idea entire or in
part, 01 are striving to secure re
forms along similar lines. Vari
ous writers have given some at
tention to the Oregon movement,
but comparatively few people,
other than its originators, seem
to have grasped more than a hint
of its far-reaching and revolution
ary character. It has remained
for Mr. Pease, who has followed
the movement from its incipien
cv, to tell the story intelligently
and interestingly.
Oregon complacently confronts
!he pessimist of the repub ic
with startling statements some
what as follows:
If :mr representatives do not
represent us, we have power to
force them to do so.
We can reject any law that we
don't want, or ourselves enact
anv law that we do want.
We have knocked out the boss
and the machine.
We have just elected two
United states Senator in twenty
minutes without, ''boodle or
booze or even a cigar," and our
legislature has just completed a
session of extraordinary activity,
untainted by any charge of cor
raption. And for such achievement the
state and the United States at
large may give thanks for the
persistence of a small coterie,
once laughed at bv politicians as
'Pops,' 'cranks' and 'visionaries'
ied by a 'dreamer' W. S.
U'Ren."
It can truthfully be said that
no subject of greater interest, of
greater moment to the people of
the entire country, has ever ap
peared in our National Press.
Let us hope that every believer
in our National slogan, "A gov
ernment of the people and for
the people," may read the story
of Western freedom and success,,
and that it may be the seed
which falls, not on stony ground
but on fallow fields to sprout and
spread throughout our nation.
Another Disaster.
The remark is a common one
that the past year has been one
of disaster throughout the civili
zsd world, and the end seems to
be not yet in sight. On
April iS'.h of last year occurred
the terrible disaster in San Fran
cisco, and a year and one day
later comes the following self-
lf .ntrlntArw iltenatoh frrhrrt Tin
Ilo:
Manila, April iq, The town
jof Ilo Ilo was tt -liy destioved
'by fire this morning, aad 20,000
i"ptple rendered homeless.' ; j Toe
flames are still raging and fanned
by a heavy wind jwhico swept
the city. : The-fire has passed be
y6nd control of the civil and
military authorities. , The dam
age has not been estimated.
Only meager reports have so far
been leceived Here, as 'tele
gr phic communication is affect
ed. Ilo Ilo is the capital of the Is
land of Panay, located on the
east coast. The port, which is
the second important in the Phil
ippines next to Manila, is the
center of the sngir import trade.

The "Sideline Club" members of OAC
drove to Philomath, ' Friday evening,
where they were entertained and taken
throueb the college there. A good time
iB reported by the eight or ten persons
who went.
The Christian church boys' . baseball
team of Albany came over to this city,
Saturday, tor a return game w th the lo
cal uiue, which goes by the name of the
"Bearers." The Albany boys call them
selves the "Tri van" nine. The game on
the local field was spirited and mn h in
terest was taken, both by soectators and
con eetaots. The score was 6 to 22 in
favor of Corvallis.
In telling ol the Reb?kah convention
held there last week, the Toledo Leader
says: "Miss Eila Jacobs, treasurer of .He
Rebekah Assembly, and Miss Pauline
Kline, both of Corvallis, were present
and ent valuable assistance. The latter
instituted Do Good Rehekah Lodge of
Toledo, in which she still retains morn
than passing interest. The Corvallis vis
itors complimented the local Rebekahs
highly upon their efficiency."
Among the tocial events of the past
week the skating party at Corvallis on
Thursday evening was most notable. A
large party of Albary roller skating en
thusiasts left on a special train to enjoy a
few hours of pleasure on the new rink at
Corvallis. The train left at 7 :30 o'clock
and returned at an early hour Friday
morning. The managers set aside the
hours from 10 to 12 o'clock for the Al
bany skaters to use the riuk. Ri-si ients
of Corvallis were not permitted to sk'te.
Herald. .
The notices that had been published
and the items that from time to time ap
peared in the Gazette in regard to "clean
ing ap day" in Cor.allia, Friday, seemed
to tail o( their mission in obtaiuiug re
sults, as but few people apparently con
sidered their premises .untidy enough to
need any attention. Ttie draymen re
port that ouly three or four loads of
trash, all told, were hauled by them,
which shows that the people are not. yet
aroused on the subject of cleaning up
the citv. la neighboring tons, accord
ing to the various papers, there was much
more of a stir along this line, as Friday
was also ''clean up day" in several other
towns.
Probably the first stees leading to a
union of Congregational and United
Brethren ehuches in this country will be
taken here, says a dispatch from Eugene,
Saturday. At a meeting of members of
the local Congregational Church last
night, it was unanimously decided to
consolidate witn the local United Breth
ren Church, aud a committee, consisting
of A. E. Wheeler, Miss Emma Wolni
and Joseph Schafer was appointed to j
confer with a like committee to be ap-
pointed by the United Brethren Cburch. !
It is altogether likely that the union will
take place in the ioitnedi.ite future. The
purpose is to hold . services in the
Congregational Church, and Rey.
George E. McDonald, pastor of the
United Brethren Church, will act as pas
tor of the United Church until Fall,
when he will go East to take a course in
a theological seminary.

greet these young people in Friday
