Such an effort seems badly advised, as well as regrettable from every standpoint. In certain concessions which it. offers, as outlined in the press dispatches concerning the college brief, the r i:' judgment will be that the eollego has pleaded guilty to the charge that it has carried courses not properly to be included in the curriculum of a eollego of technical education. It offers to drop some of theso studies. If there arc, as thero seem to be, over-lapping and (implicate courses in Oregon's .two schools of higher education, the public, which pays the bills, is entitled to have thoso duplications removed. It will be tho business of the board of higher curricula to determine the ques tions point by point and decide tho issues. But the is sue should not, and in all liklihood will not, be decided 0 i tho basis of demagogic appeal. Governor Pierce is entirely right in his declaration that, for the good of both, the university and the college ought to avoid n public quarrel and public recrimina tions, lie is right in his declaration that such a contro versy can result in no good, and that the taxpayers will i.et be disposed to patience with such a controversy. A bad start has been made, but there is yet time for repre sentatives of tho two institutions to get together, "stop quarreling," as tho governor advises and confine their activities in the questions .at issue to a genuine effort to tliiniiifito duplication of studies as between tho two schools and promote by (his means the practical economy to which the taxpayers are entitled in their conduct and management. e e In the press comments throughout the state on the faculty changes niado recently at the University of Ore gon thero is quite generally manifested n disposition loj give tho board of regents full credit and commendation; lor their efforts to effect economies. Sumo papers cx- press tho opinion that a "shake-up" iu the university 1' cully and administration has long been overdue. Nearly all agree that tho board of regents erred in failing to in-i f' nn tho public what had been done and why it had biTU done. An exception on this latter point is tho Oregon Voter, which while saying it believes it is in possession of "the full facts involved in this tempest" shows quite clearly that it has' not tho full facts by declaring that "tho board did give out all tho facts that it considered essential-" The board, of course, gave out nothing. Its own nieinbers say so. Instead of seeing to it that the public- was fully informed as to what hail been done and why, tho board left that to tho administration, and the administration gave out nly a misleading fragment which purported to be a statement of what had been done at the meeting. That tho board iu doing this merely followed custom, would seem to be a justification wholly inadequate. That tho administration 'rather than Iho board has carried this custom through tho years likewise fails to justify tho board, because it is the board which is responsible. e e Some newspapers in their comments indicate that they believe students were back of the demonstrations of protest recently made. A fairer view is that the demon stration originated with nieinbers of tho faculty and that the student protest was, if not actuallv tho out growth of that, nt most only supplemental. Tho peroinp toriness of the method followed in making the few re movals and demotions that were decreed, and the secrecy with which thoso actions were Jiedged, spread appre hension throughout the faculty. Had the same actions been taken in a more tactful and frank wnv thero would liavo been no alarm and no demonstration. Tho great recent growth of attendance at the uni versity Bnd the failure of its revenues to keep pace with that growth have undeniably created a situation which calls for economy. In whatever courso to this cud they niav tako tho board or regents will have full public support 1 they will let the public know as thev go along what they are doing and why. Hut continuation of a policy ol leaving to tho mixed judgment of a divided admin istrntion tho decision as to what facts are to be given to tho public and what facts are to be covered up will .iM.i m-i-wiNK n'fM inaii conuiKinn can no cxivoUhI to rcBU It. Tho public, which supports tho uuivorsiix-, is U.t.tUnl to all tho facts. TIuh , nowHiuipor believes recent events have nliown forth tjuito clearly that there i need for tho plaeinir of n Htrontf man at tho head of tho universitv administration for tho interim of tho president's illnesn. It believes tho board of rotfcnU could perform at this timo no other Boryieo to tho university so great as to select and install Bitch a man. vecordiof to the present day Ti'w of ttioa wbo run the acboola, is merely ide if i up, anmeivbnt of a bnre, ami, in act, altogether too oM fashioned.

Howell's Comment Hv CHKSTKR H. IIOWKLL I JvV did Hritain manage to go on the gold standard, when most of the gold to do it wns not in Britain, but in America? The answer is simple enough. It is a mutter, not of metal, but of goods and credit. Any nation can go on the gold standard if it has a balanced budget, a favorable balance of trade, and Iho confidence of its people and of the world that these conditions will continue. The goods and the credit provide the gold to pay balances, and modern methods of banking and exchange eliminate everything but the balances. In all these things, the world needs to learn to think in terms of good, rather than of money. Kconnmista have always done this, but the peo ple, hecmiie ihev mem tired their own transactions In mney, tended to do f the same with national affnira. Now that democrat' has taken control of international relations, the sovereign people need to learn what the specialists in these thing always knew. EUROPEAN LOANS CAUSE WORRY American Lenders Concurred Because cf Unsettlement of Con ditlons on Other Side. By CHARLES P. BTEWART (NEA Service "Writer) WASHINGTON, May 16. The explanation that President Cool idge opposes any more American loans to European countries which can't forget tho .war and get back on a peace basis is the polite way of accounting for Ambassador Hough ton's bint to that effect in his speech before the "Pilgrims" in London. It wouldn't sound so well to say that Wall street provided the ambas sador with bis inspiration. The un romantic truth, however, unquestion ably Is that "big business" told the president it is worried over some of its European Investments, and the president passed the word along to Houghton to make the most of, . What tho ambassador said , was meant principally for France. He certainly wasn't aiming at England. Indeed, the English probably are glad he said what he did. He ex pressed what certainly is exactly their Tom Sims Says j It was Oregon first again when Karl Kamlo, web foot jockey, rodo homo tho winner in the Kentucky derby Saturday.

THOMPSON. own Idea and the fact that this coun try's diplomatic representative put it into word relieves them of the neccs- aity of doing so. The French are sure to resent it and French resentment would mean more to a very nar nelghhor, like England than it will to America. For all her resentment, Hough ton's warning may have a tranquil izing effect on France. She'll he tranquil, or anything else, for enough American money, The administration ia entitled to credit for doing what was unavoid ably a disagreeable thing rather adroitly, if an American amnassa dnr In France had spoken as Am bassador Houghton did, he would have risked making himself "persona non grata. By putting "big business' ' words into the mouth of the American rep resentative in London, however, and ns his personal views at an unoffi cial dinner, the president managed to shut the French government off from any comeback. The French press will howl but the government can't. A grain man by the name of Ives was sitting in the lobby of the Cairo hotel one evening telling me what he thought of congress. He wasn't a bit subdued about it. One of the members of the vfy body Ives was "panning" was sitting over in an other corner of the lobby. He could benr Ivea plainly. Any body tn the lobby could. This con gressman evidently wan getting mad der and madder. His face turned pink. Next it turned red. Then it turned purple. He was one of those who think "one of the worst in fluences wo have In our national life' is our had habit of belittling con grosa.' Finally he got' up and came over to Ives. "I con tell you one thing,' he snid. "AH the fools aren't in congress, anyway." "Sure not," agreed Ives. "Its membership is too limited." Taking timo hy tho forelock, the International Reform Bureau, in Washington, Is getting together nil available information concerning tho evils of betting, with a view to asking congress in December for a federal law forbidding publication of advance "dope"' on rnces, their results, or any other information concerning them. In short, the bureau wants the press to ignore them completely. In asmuch as the press won't do it vol untnrinly, the bureau favors compul sion. The Rev. H. N. Pringle, its assistant superintendent, says a bit Hon a year is gambled away through out the country, half of it on the ponies. Morris Orsattl and J. R. Johnson were indicted toge C er in Orange county, California, for trying to bribe a dry agent. There were 1M counts in tho indictment, which enabled the judge, if he chose, to "soak" toe pair pretty hard, though Orsattl said the whole i-l counts related to one tran saction. Johnson got three months in jail. Orsatti got 0 years in a federal pris on. The I'nlted States supreme court has just refused to review his con viction.
