YOL XLV. DRUIIKEN STU- DENTS MUST GO They Will Not Be Tolerated SO SAYS PRESIDENT JORDAN Use of Intoxicants Most Be Entirely Eliminated from Stanford UniTersify. 1 President Jordan says thai all drinking at Stanford University must stop. At the first assembly of the student body, in deliver ing his annual address to the entering class, he called atten tion to the trouble of last year, saying thrctthe ideas followed by the committee on student affairs last year would be strictly en forced this semester and that the use of intoxicants would have to be entirely eliminated from the university life here after. He said: "The drunken collegian is the greatest injury to any institu tion, and Stanford is no place for those who can get drunk and not be ashamed of themselves. We have no time to train such men, as our faculty has some thing else to do than to watch the doors of saloons. When a man is doing the v university more harm than the university is doing him good, then it is time for him to leave the insti tution. : We have no prohibition rules, and I do hot believe in prohibition, but you of the stu dent body of Stanfoxdunivers ity have two lteruatiVsf before' your You . must cut out Stan ford, or you must cut out the saloons. If we cannot celebrate our- athletic victories without beer-busts, then we must either do without the athletics or else fire our coaches and meet defeat at the hands of the University of California." The statements were received by the students with the great est of interest, for up to this time the exact attitude of the faculty had not been known. I is now clear to every one that the lid will be down, and down tight, at Stanford this year. Last year the faculty set out to ac complish this purpose, and al lowed nothing to stand in its way. Students showing oppo sition were quickly disposed of, and though it looked at one time as though the entire student body would " strike, those in charge showed not the least sign of weakening, and now that they have their end accomplished the drunken ' student will probably hereafter be as unusual a sight on the campus at Palo Alto as he would be on , the grounds of the most strict denominational college on the coast. " County t1fgh School Organization. ' The Gazette is just in receipt ol tne oepiemDer number of the University of Oregon Bulletin, which treats of "Country High School Organization and Train ing of Teachers," and is one of the most valuable bulletins re cently issued by the University, for those interested in the bet terment of our rural schools. - It contains an exhaustive account of the methods adopted by other states for the training of teach ers, and- discusses fully the so- called Lane county plan for the establishment of country high schools. To quote from it: "This plan will allow country. districts to organize high schools, as the tuition is to be paid by the whole county. The country high school can have as good a teacher as the city " high school. . Inasmuch as this plan allows any enterprising district to start a high school, it does away with the necessity of a vote. The trouble with the Union High School Law is that it requires a majority vote or au t.hft districts before the hieh school is started." Under, it3 workings,- some four or five high schools are being established in Lane county in places where it was impossible to maintain them before. A small county tax ' is levied and each high school student, regardless of location, draw its share of the tax; the more the high school students, the more money the district draws from the county. Under this law, country high schools can be established in every group of districts in the state that is not over twelve miles in extent, and that has fifteen or twenty pupils that can attend high school, lhe legal lorm necessary , to secure, a, vote.- is Eriven. and the Bulletin can be secured free by writing to the Registrar of the university, , Married. At the residence of P.A.Mos es on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Charles W. Shupp was married to Lauia Clark, both being citi zens of Philomath. The cere mony was preformed by Rav. Moses in his usual happy man ner, so essentially necessary on such occasions. He has been at the business so long that he knows just how to do it to make the happy couple feel good. sir. Shupp is the C. & E. agent at Philomath and Miss Clark is a daughter of one of the leading merchants of that place.. I hey start in iif e with bright prospects. CAKE SURRENDERS Serrons breakdown Forces State Chairman to Quit ' . All the machinery of the Re publican party of Oregon has been surrendered" by State Chairman W. ' M. Cake -to,; an1 executive committee, and Chair man Cake will take no part in the Presidential Campaign. He has been forced to adopt this! plan 'through the advice of his physician. . Chairman Cake has been in charge of Dr.. W. T. Wil liamson for some time, and yes terday the physician declared that his patient must not assume an active part in the conduct of the campaign. From his sick bed Cake sent word to the execu tive committee that "he would have to relinquish his duties and leave the direction of the campaign to other hands. The committee which is to manage the eampaign is com posed of ex-State Senator C. W. Hodson, ex-State Senator Sig Sichel. H. W. Coe, R. E. Wil liams and J. P. Kennedy. Wil liams is National Committee ian for Oregon, and Kennedy is county chairman. Coe has has been designated as the treas urer of the campaign fund. Since his return from the East last month Chairman Cake has been under a nervous strain, which . has brought about a breakdown and necessitated: the retirement until- he can recup erate. . Since last January Chairman Cake has been under a severe strain,' for at that time he began the management of his brother's campaign for United States Senator. He had to fight through the primaries, and then the general election, and then'prepare for the Presi dential campaign. This con stant " worry and drain on his vitality culminated two weeks ago, after he had held a confer ence with the members of the state committee and- had. at tempted to secure rest at the beach. .

T An Oregonian r special say's: Fridav was a ereat dav at the State Fair and the good work of the Oregon Agricultural College was much in evidence. 1 " Several hundred graduates of the institution were on the grounds, the college colors were everywhere displayed, and at the race track a crowd pi college boys fathered and gave the col lege yella. - i t Lectures were given by col lege professors . on "Control of insect pests, on animal bus! bandry, on dairying and on. var ious other topics of "interest. Demonstrations were given by the college instructors in tree grafting and in apple-packing; Professor Rutherford, of Winni peg, gave an instructive talk on. judging a horse, pointing otit its. desirable and undesirable char acteristics of both draff ; and driving animals; A large crowd of farmers- heard the address and . -every person there went away: much more competent: tb esti mate the- worth of a horse and to discover defects than he. had ever been before. " 4 A 'rM. -.LECTURE .WELL RECEIVED. Addresses with . a similar pur pose were delivered by - Pro fessor. Stoeder, of Kansas, on bee cattle; by Professor Scrib nef, of Wisconsin, en - dairy cat tle, and by Professor Carlylersof Colorado, on sheep. Each lec ture being illustrated by show ing the. good and bad . points, of animals that were led into the arena where the lectures were given. This hew feature of the State Fair has been so extremely pop ular that it is certain there will be a demand that it be made a permanent department under the supervision of the Agricultural College. Professor E. R. Lake, who had charge of the college exhibit, this year, has made a great success in enlarging the scope of the work of the college. President W. J. Kerr, of the Agricultural College, was a vis itor today and after inspecting the various departments of the Fair expressed himself as great ly surprised and highly pleased with the splendid exposition of Oregon's resources. COLLEGE STRONGER WITH PEOPLE. The college bas greatly strengthened its position in pub lic esteem by the1 very practical and consequently very valuable work it has done during this Fair. The lectures delivered here this week will induce many farmers to go to Corvallis and take the farmers' short course next Winter, for they now as never before realize the practi cal character of the institution given. . Tomorrow will be get-away day, the closing day . of the greatest Fair" Oregon has ever seen. The weather is certain to be favorable and through the great days for attendance were Wednesday and Thursday, to morrow will see an immense crowd on the grounds.

The secret of the event had been successfully guarded and its consummation was only additional proof of the queer pranks of Cupid. Frank Seits and Mrs. Gleason were united in marriage in the presence of a few invited - friends, Judge E. Holgate performing the ceremony.- - The groom is a pioneer and prominent rancher of Lin coln 'county.1 He has trodden the path of loneliness for a good many years and his friends feel that he has taken just the proper course m doubling up. Mrs. Gleason is well known to Cor vallis people and they may fer vently congratulate ' h erv upon this recent change in hereourse of life. There are many good wishes for the future happiness of Mr. and Mrs. Seits. - - Norcross came back and will at once organise - the football squad for "training pre paratory for ihe opening of . the football season. Mr. Norcross is a hustler and -. knows :bow to manage a football team on busi ness principles, as demonstrated in- the last year's work. He will have practically all of his cham pion team of last year at his command again and, with the new material in sight," will make things lively on the gridiron. As usual the battle royal will be between OAC and U of O, and when they meet on the Multno mah field on Thanksgiving day, there will be something doing. Of course Norci oss will bend ev ery energy to sustain his repu tation, so here goes for a hot old time in the football circles. Keeping Pace The pretty, little town of Phil omath seems to be keeping pace with her "big sister" in Benton county and as the time draws near for the opening of college, the citizens are making earn est effort to provide homes for the young men and women who are striving to prepare for life work by securing an education which, in this advanced age of culture in refinement, becomes absolutely .necessary in securing profitable employmemt. - , .

Suit ta enjoin the Lebanon Lumber Company from contin uing the construction of a ; big storage-pond, for logs, now be ing built, southeast of Lebanon, was begun in the state circuit court at; Albany last Friday by the Lebanon - Paper Company, which ; operates the big '' paper mills at this place. It is claimed that the pond, if . constructed as planned, will eharfge the . chan nel of the south, Santiam river, and ruin tne paper company s dam in that stream and the pow er canal to the mills.; Big inter ests are involved and the suit probably inaugurates a "vigorous contest. Watch for Him. It is said that a certais party, with a chronic thirst and finan cial disability, has been .solicit ing funds ostensibly for the re lief of a worthy family in our city, whom he represents as be ing in dire need on account, of loss from fire, and illness. ' On behalf of the family we would say that they suffered - from fire alright some years agoand are now suffering from illness of two of their members; but they are not hard up, ; nor in need of cash, nor are they any where near that point. They would be gratified if a stop could be put to the misrepresenta tions and the aforesaid party re strained from further imposing upon the public for his own ben efit. i' THE BEST IN THE W0KLD Is the American Husband- American Woman. Happiest. The American huaband is' the best in the world.'says .the jRey. Chas, Aked, D. B., in the Novem ber New Idea Moman's Magazine. He thinks . more of "his wife, makes imore of - his . wife, does more for-his wife than any other husband 'the , world has," fver known. Whether be 'hatlie' best wife but that is another' story. Certainly the American woman' has the best favored ' .lot that has yet fallen to a human1 being. She has more to make her happy in her own phrase, to give her "a good time," than any other creature on the earth. She has more money to spend and better things on which to spend.it.. She has more free dom, independence, more power of initiative and of self-direction. She is a person of im portance and she knows it. The present writer is yet ' seek ing a female person between the ages of 7 and 70 upon this con tinent who does not regard her self or tne greatest consequence in the scheme of things. She quietly assumes mat- sne is somebody. The assumption is warranted in fact and conceded in practice. The American woman is, up to the present moment, God's best - piece of work, a'nd there are no visible indications of outside-improvements upon the product! The American girl can pro tect herself. She is not as'easi ly led astray as the girls of many other countries.' She'is not as "innocent" in the absurd and conventional meaning'" of that much absurd word. She knows more. She can run alone. She is more completely mistress of herself! There is no higher standard of sexual morality in any country than this. This may be safely affirmed : in the face of 10,000 divorce scandals and the headlines or a sensa tional loving press.N For every unhappy marriage of which the papers speak there are thousands about which it says nothing, But the last analysis the Amer ican woman has .a better: time than any other woman because she is an American woman ! GREAT STATE HIGHWAY Oregon and California Will Join Hands. STATE ROAD IS FEASIBLE $3,000,000 Has Been Appro- Will be Taken. - Important in Oregon from the outset, the Crater Lake to Klamath Falls .road enterprise now assumes the nature of an interstate project, the highway commission appointed by Gov ernor Chamberlain assertaining , yesterday that connection of Oregon's proposed beauty road with the state road of California, for which $3,000,000 has been appropriated is feasible. Im mediate steps will be taken to confer with authorities of the Golden State to the end that California and Oregon may col-. laborate and through their lomt efforts perfect what may right fully be termed a boulevard from Harriman's retreat at Peli can Bay to the City of Million- airs, Passadena, nine miles from Los Angeles. "No greater enterprise has ever been fathered," said Judge George T. Baldwin yesterday, "and the possibilities are so vast it is impossible for Oregon to measure its worth." While the connection of Ore- gan's proposed, road with Cali fornia's through state highway fls feature' of the ' - deliberations " of the highway commission ; it is not as yet uppermost iw the minds of the--road enthusiasts. Wi$h them actual construction. of ; Oregon's road is foremost,. wuen it is complete its union I' m v '11 wi'.n uamornii's mgnway win be but a small task. , Private Opinion.
