Too much cannot be expected of tbem. It was ordained in the beginning that tbey should pass through the boyhood period before becom ing men. We shall, therefore, always have wjth us the boy, God bless him. But there are things the boys ought not to do. They should not engage in hazing at college. Hazing is a wild, foolish fad that appeared and ran its course in educational institutions. It is no longer practiced at institutions of the first class and good stand ing. The principle on which it is based made it impossible long to survive. The American char acter is forever and everywhere for fair play and chivalrous man hood. The American home is for true courage and a square deal. Hazing is cowardice, be cause in it a dozen overpower and heap indigaity on one. The many, by sheer foice of numbers, maltreat the defense less few. It is a custom wholly out of gear with American ideas and usage and completely inde fensible from any standpoint. The hazing affair at Corvallis happened to' have been harmless in its consequenses. ' Two boys were slightly cut, but the fact of the cutting shows how deplorable the sequel might have been. Any time a boy may appear who will defend himself as young Olp did and with far more serious results. When be does, the hazers, who are the aggressors, will have to shoulder all the responsibility of the consequen ces, for it is theirs alone. Thus, the Corvallis hazing is a timely warning and should serve to show all hazers to what their practice may lead. The college authorties understand it so and President Kerr is announced as determined in his decision that there shall be no hazing at the college. His students should rally to a man in the work ot carrying out that admirable de cision. Oregon Journal Editorial. NEW UNDERTAKING FIRM Chester Henkle and O. J.

We Want Your Business Modes Grocery Friday's Journal contains an other editorial on the same sub ject as the above, which every student should read. It savs. While the subject is still fresh The Journal would add one word more with reference to hazing. This paper views with satisfac tion the action ot the students at the State Agricultural college. Their manifesto, denouncing the practice, and declaring students who engage in it as unworthy of attending the institution, is a signal example of manliness. It is one well worthy of an institu tidn that by the numbers in at tendance is by far the largest educational establishment in the state. The wonder is that the students in all other institutions do not take the same action, wine with each other in the movement, and put an end at once and fer all to the hazing business. The origin of hazing is alone sufficient to make it hated by the American youth. It was in Europe educational institutions long ago, where the aristocracy sought to perpetuate its rank and privilege by heaping indignities on the plebians, and where sons of the nobility, holding them selves ot superior birth and clay, held down and insulted the sons of the peasantry. It is not the habit or the boast ot the Ameri can lad to copy decayed and moldering customs of undem ocratic Europe. It is hardly his wish to engraft effete and mon archial methods on the institu tions of the noble nation riis fore fathers have lifted up on the free and fair western hemisphere. He would scarcely dress TJncl-- jSam up in the tattered rags, dilapidated crown and rusty 'sword of shattered feudal system, and that is exactly why he should hasten to throw awav the antiqu ated an un-American business ot hazing. , The Denver Express. "Toe Denver Express" will cross the stage at the opera house commencing next Thursday night piloted by Holden Bros, and their trained crew which in cludes a right bouyant brakeman in the person of a dainty singing and dancing sonbrette who, as the heroine of this well tried suc cess, makes laughter and merri ment pervade the piece. Few dramas can com Dare with this well written play of the Holden's and none are more worthy of the lasting success which seems to at tend the presentation of this thrilling story of the great west from Denver to 'Frisco. Almest every phase of western life is vividly depicted. From the at tempted massacre of the whites by a party of sure enough Indi ans to the derailing df the "Den ver Express," the interest never lags, and scenery painted for these episodes, as well as a copy of the interior of the Palace Hotel, San ""Francisco, . crowded by society folks on a gala night are said to be excellent examples ot the scene painter's work. The play has the advantage of strong companv, special scenery, and a carefully selected series of clever specialties and havirjg proven its merits last season, its repetition will be a pleasing and timely event.

Consternati m reigns among the girls ot Willamette Univers ity as the result of a mandate coming from Dean Kirk, of the women's department, regulating the hours when they should be seen upon the street after night fall, and curtailing the visits of the young varsity lads to Laus anne Hall, the girls' dormitory, says a dispatch from the Capital city. The girls look askance at the rules. The young men are are wroth concerning the restric tions, as they strike at the pros pective social life ot the young people. The rules read, in part, as follows: 1 .Girls are not supposed to be out on the street after 6 p. m. 2. Gentlemen may be received only once a week (Friday or Sat urday nights) and must go at 10 o'clock. 3. Girls are not supposed to go any place without a chaperone, 4. Unless a young man takes a young lady to a place she shall not accept bis company home 4. On Sunday nights the young men will be required to leave at 9: 15. 6. Girls are not supposed to linger on the campus talking to young men. The faces of girls look rather long when they see the theater notices as they know that the young men cannot get seats for two and a chaperone.
