PRESIDENT SELECTED.
Thursday there was a meeting
of the board of Regents of the
.Oregon Agricultural College,
located in Corvallis, at which
time was selected a successor to
President Gatch, who retires on
the 17th of next July. Dr. W.
J. Kerr, at present filling the
position of president of the Uiah
Agricultural College, is to be our
new president.
OAC is no longer an infant in
stitution it now ranks high
among the colleges of the kind
throughout the United States.
During recent years its growth
has been all that its truest
friends could have hoped for.
To President Gatch is due great
praise and credit for the present
standing of our college. The
duties of the institution in the
tin v virroi ic has gained have be
cj:ne very strenuous ones and
Pie ;ident Gatch in his declining
y -vs has felt them very heavy
at t'mes. They are such as will
at times tax a man in the vigor
of life, and such a man we are
informed is Dr. Kerr.
The duties of this particular
field are not unknown to the
new president. He has had
years of experience in just such
work as will confront him at
OAC. No man could be more
highly reommanded than Dr.
Kerr. When he comes here he
will find many willing heads and
hands to assist and to welcome
him-
The committee selected from
the board of regents to inquire
and report on a man to succeed
President Gatch consisted of
Mrs. Waldo, E. E. Wilson and J.
K. Weatherford- The findings
and recommendations were laid
before the board at its meeting
in this city Thursday afternoon
and the ratification of the select
ion of Dr. Kerr resulted. The
committee acted carefully and
with every possible safeguard
that would insure the selection of
the very best available man for
the position, regardless of any
thing which might have a tend
ency to make the is ue obscure
and we hops an 1 balieve they
have made a wise choice.
PROBLEMS; YET UNSOLVED.
What is the country coming
to? is a question that may well
be asked. Corporations and com
binations of all kinds are using
t.aeir power to corner and con
trol the necessities of life. The
government is busy all the time
of late in the struggle to force a
square deal for the common peo
ple from the great capitalistic
organizations of tha land- Mad
ness seems in the air.
Corporations are not alone, by
any means, in their efforts to
mike things interesting for the
general public. For example:
Look at San Francisco today and
it will be seen that the people of
the Bay City, the prde of the
Pacific Coast, are facing a street
enr strike. This is not all. Add
ed to the trouble in dealing with
the greatest ring of grafters!
ever born to the West, and the
street car disturbances, the tele
phone girls threaten to "walk
out." So it goes -all in one
city.
Look at the conditions in Boise,
Idaho, today and you must e
shocked. It seems that in that
section at least there is reason to
believe that the law must mis
carry. In trying those accused
of the murder of Gov. Steunen
berg doubt prevails as to the
possibility of securing a jury of
sufficient hardihood to face the
danger curtailed by finding Moy
er, Haywood et al guilty of mur
der. It is said to be the opinion
of calm minded men that a juror
who would subscribe to a ver
dict of "guilty" in this case takes
his life in his hand.
Certainly this is a monstrous
and deplorable condition of af
fairs to find anywhere, much less
in the United States, - supposed
to be among the foremost of civ
ilized countries. Until the pos
sibility of lawless men intimidat
ing whole communities and act
ing openly in defiance of the
laws of the land becomes an unheard-of
proceeding we have
much to deplore and little to
boast. We have a great country
the greatest on the globe in
resources but so far the crea
tion of the highest citizenship we
have not advanced so very far.
"UNFAIR", SAYS "RUEF.
It is quite the customary pro
ceeding for a man facing trial
fjrany sort of crime to cry "un
fair" and to attack the people of
his community. There is noth
ing new in the procedure. Abe
Ruef, the arch grafter of the
entire San Francisco aggrega
tion, to judge from what has al
ready transpired, now declares
that he cannot secure a fair and
impartial trial in the county
where he has committed the al
leged public outrage.
Ruef prays for a change of
venue and gives many of his rea
sons for so doing. To ask for a
change of trial to some other
county is to admit that he has
made himself odious generally
in his own county. It is a reflec
tion on San Francisco justice and
the people, who administer the
same. As Ruef's alleged depre
dations were committee in San
Francisco, and the people of that
city were the ones, if any, to
suffer from the outrages it seems
but fair to them that they ave
a voice in ascribing his punish
ment. "An eye for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth."
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
OAC Men at Pullman WrmThev
Are.
Carl Clark, .Royal S Heck and
Mark Weathert'mi left Sunday
for Pullman, Wash., where last
night they were to meet the Pullman-
men in a debate on the
question, "Resolved, that the
Monroe Doctrine Should be
Discarded as a Part of the Per
manent Policy of the United
S ates " OAC whs to defend
cue negative ot the question. All
f the OAC boys are members Ot
:he seuior class and have had ex
perience on the platform. While
they have had no coach they
; ive bea workiug hard and-it
vas exoected that they would

bater. Royal Selleck, the second
speaker, is registered from Boyd,
Wasco county. He is a veteran
of nine debates, having been
leader of the J:ff,T3onian team
tiiat won the Gatch cup last year.
He is a strong extemporaneous
speaker, a clear thinker, and
without question one of the best
debaters OAC has ever produced.
Mark Weatherford, the last
speaker on the team, comes from
Olex, Giiliam couuty. He has
(he reputaiion of being the
strongest speaker in school. He
is not enly a debater of consider
ible experience but has also been
prominent in the o.atorical con
gests of the college, this year re
presenting the school in the in
terstate contest. He is perhaps
the strongest man on the team, if
ot the strongest the school has
ever produced.

If you have any sympathy for human
ity help the reporter these days by hand

of news you know or hear. The good
old summer time is at hand and the re
porter, like the rest of ye mortals, has a
"hankering" for the shade of the old
apple tree, a comfortable hammock and
an interesting biok. but these things are
not mentionable .with the newspaper
rustler. A greedy public constantly de-1
mauds an account of the happenings in
his vicinity, fand as these ''happenings"
grow woefully less as tne quiet season
advances, it is up to the reporter to keep
moving. Add to oar other summer va

least one humane died ,ive the report

trees in different parts of the county that
were planted for ornamental purposes
years ago have amply demonstrated the
suitable climatic and soil conditions of
this section for the culture of English
walnuts, and a large acreage now com
