AT COMMENCEMENT
fifty.seven degrees were conferred
st the thirty-first annaul commence­
ment of the University of Oregon this
morning, in the most solemn day'« ex-
erci»«« of t*>* > mmencement week.
Fifty-four of the undergraduates
were seated on the de'orated platform
In Villard hall, an! opposite were seat-
tr faculty of the university and
some of the regen's.
The graduating address by Senator
John M Gearin was the feature of the
tn u-! in. With w len n eloquence, all
cf the time bordering on the grand and
st periods entering th.. realm of hlgh-
. crat ry. he e dressed the class and

people.
After a few brief remarks he broke
Into the body of his talk. In part he
For you. y ting men and wo-
events of today mark the
partings of the wav«; yesterday you
were children, tomorrow you will be
men and women of the greatest ad­
vantages. You have the training of a
university, and the culture that is un­
excelled anywhere of which I know.
A university is one of the greatest hu­
man Institution« in the world. It Is
the highest type of education; and
education is the finishing of the hu­
man product as the painter's brush
is of the crude picture. It has dis­
cipline learned by trials of self-denial
and work.
“The directing agency of all the
great steps in the world's advance is
the educated man. He is the finished
man. He is the cause of bringing out
better conditions. If It be true that
from ocean to ocean capital seizes
every opening, that our people Is pros-
pen>u.s. from sea to ;ea, if this be
true, the nation may tak off Its hat

Jew, of Portland, dr w from the
judges the Beekman prize of $100.
Miss Burdick's orition was entitled
' The Blight of Precedent." and was
delivered In a clear, sweet declam­
atory style. Handnian's oration was
also "The Blight of Precedent" and
was by far the strongest in feeling
of the evening.
During its delivery
women clinched their hands, tears
burst from thè eyes of strong men
and others sat like statues. The ora­
tion dealt with the injustice to the
Jewish race, and Handman delivered
it with a Flrange and wonderful
power. It was not the utterance of
one man, it was the utterance of the
whole Jewish people through him.
In It was the power

of oratory
which in the past t has aroused men
to
fight to the death, the power
which might turn i all but spirits of
stones Into life.
Francis Galloway also had an or­
ation, "The Menace of Special Priv­
ilege," which while of a different
type, had all the power that man
could conceive that could be put Into
it. While less emotional than Hand-
man's and without the appealing
power, it was delivered with a more
polished style,
more perfect
ut
terance and strength of argument,
though with not the passionate force.
Either of these two orations would
have taken fir: t place in the recent
interstate contest, so great was the
sublimity of both, and last night the
opinion was divided somewhat, with

NIGHT.
Boise, June 26.—Defense in the
Steunenberg case continues to offer
evidence that Orchard threatened to
kill Steunenberg; that he was also a
participant in the plot to destroy the
Western Federation of Miners.
Its first witness today was Mrs.
Ixittie Day, of Denver, who swore
that Orchard hrd told her that but
for Steunenberg he would be a mil­
lionaire; th-'t he
tend ’d to kill him.
Mrs. Day testified of Orchard's
and said he always kept a little mo­
ney put away that when he made a
"raise" he put some money away
with Pettibone and drew it out as he
needed it.
John D. Elliott, an o Id soldier,
testified that he met Orchard on a
train late in November, 1905; that
Orchard told him that he was an
agent of the Mine Owners’ associa-
tion; that there would soon be pulled
off a plot that would destroy the
leaders of the miners' federation.
Both Mrs. Day and Elliott were sub­
mitted to a long and searching cross
examination and Elliott admitted
he was an inmate of the state insane
asylum for six or seven months in
1895, but declared he had a certi­
ficate of recovery. In May, 1905, he
went to the asylum again but was
released later on the promise of his

It is surprising thatso many men are
willing to wear cotton mixed clothes
when they can get all wool, but it’s
more surprising that anybody ¡swill­
ing to pay all-wool pikes for cotton.
Yon know that all-wool clothes cost
more than cotton; if you want all-
wool clothes you must pay the price,
you understand that. But every
man wants a suit that fits and is
serviceable, at the right price, there­
fore he must get clothes that are
all wool, tlwroughly tailored with
best trimmings and linings, cut in
the latest models and neatest pat­
terns, They feel better, keep in
shape better and have so much more
style than the cotton adulterated
goods and are more economical even
at their high price. Try us for your
next suit.
