Another element which enters California Sunshine in every tin of Folg'er's MH swrrb. i . ,,on8,y into the consideration of this'pondenoe school by which 350 probitim and one which tbe averare thinker overlooks, ia that of the loss to the State through students going elsewhere. It ha been conserva tive ley estimated that two hundred of thfc brainiest and most helpfal young men and women in the state of Ore Ron are going each and evrry year to ihe University or Washington and the Uuiversity of California where they believe they can better fit themselves to play a mtsttrlv part in life than they can in the .University of Oregon.' The cost too. each of these students for travel, tuition, and living is not lees than $500 per year and in many cases $1000. So that we se f rum a money standpoint alone, Oregon ia loinn 1100,000 everv single year at a conservative estlmte to say nothing of the talent, the power of leadership and brave initiative which is going toward the npbailding of other states than our own. Can we afford this drain opon our own social, industrial and political resources? The time is pat when the backswoodsmao, the illiterate and grossly incompetent in dividual who prides himself upon his lack of edocation can manage i tbe affairs of this great commonwealth. Every line of activity, from stateman ship to the hewer of wood and the carrier of water ia becoming special ized and individualistic. The man who would hope to succeed today in politics, in business, in the profes sions or in the sciences must have the best possible training, he must un derstand tbe laws of cause and effect) he most nnderstand hnman nature and lie must understand now to conserve n-rgy .and utilize it to its highest iidvantage. This broad tolerant and understanding charaoter and develop ment can" be brought about only by the greatest measure possible of special ir.tvi education ai d training aud this mucation and training ran be ob tained only in our institutions of h gher education. What better place tianinthe State University f Here tuition ia free, expenses are low. So ciety makes no great demand opon the student and statistic show that f 8 per cent of the student' are work ing their own way through the TJni versitv. Higher edncation pays and i ha great majority of tbe people who' do things in the world believe in it. The people of Oregon shonld patronize every rational effort to en courage schools, colleges and univer- sites, ' not only for their benign iu- flnenoe upon the happiness of life in all it stage and classes and of society in all its manifestations bnt because it la the only means of preserving onr political life from the degenerating nfluencrs of sophistry, partesanship and corruption. We have the closest pproaoh toward a pnrely democratic form of government in Oregon than in any state in tne union ana we are proud of the fact. If our institutions and government are to be kept pure, wholesome and serviceable and the people are to gain the highest possible service from them, edocation and in telligence must actuate the body poll tics in all its actions. The people must thoroughly understand tbe measures and politics upon which they are to vote abd thus keep the lections free, fair and virtuous, How can the people who are the law makers in very truth under our ini tiative and referendum laws legislate wisely, sanely and safely unless they are well posted and advised concern ing the problems before them and what better means for bringing about broader, more comprehensive intelli gence in the whole body politic than the support of higher education. The objection is raised by a pre' vious correspondent in one of the local papers that the increased appro priation which the state can afford to give to education should bo given to the public schools system rather than the University, but this writer is either hopelessly ignorant or not a keen observer or he wonld know that we must have young men and women of superior training and education to teach onr public schools and that these teachers can only be ob'ained from our institutions of higher education. Also that the University is nothing more nor less than tbe head of our publio schools and tbe efficiency of their work ia doubled by the co-oper-tion of the University. Tne Univer sity of Oregon has exerted a strong influence over th publio school sys tem of our state. More than 126 of its graduates are teaching in the pub lio schools and high school of Ore gon. Eighteen out of 54 yoong men sd women who wera graduates from the U of O last Jnoe are teaching in the common school and high school of the state. The demand for well trained teacher is three times aa great as the supply. It 1 the height of folly to say that the University ap propriation stand in the way of tbe develepment cf the publio schools. The oost of the University annually to each person of the state onder a $135,000 appropriation will be Juat 25 cent. How .pitiful indeed beoosaes the argnjnani. . The Cai varsity serve all tbe peole by mean of Ua ocrras- students not registered at the Oniver ity are receiving training along var ion line of activity. The Depart ments of Economics, Edocation, Mining and otnera , have responded loyally to the many calls, made ou them and every department of the University la constantly serving the state. Let us all, then, ate every effort in our power to prevent this outrage to the intellig' non and judgment of the more progressive and energetlo classes of onr citizens throughout this state aud strive earnestly that tbe appropriation bill now beforfe the people "hall not meet with defeat at the polls.

ONE CITY TURNS DOWN MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP Aneot the conidf ration by thepeopla -of Grants Pass of the question of the municipal ownership of its waterworks supply, the followiug. action of the oity authorities of Hood River may prove to be of more than passing in terest to Courier reader. The Mews Letter says: That the city of Hood River does not rare to go into Ike water business ia evident from tbe vote oast Monday on the matter of Issuing bond for the purchase of th present plant, "There was not much interest mani fested in the. subject, and when th votes were counted the ballots re vealed that 86 votes were cast against bonds, and 80 in favor. "The company now intend to niak some substantial improvement in the system. Cast iron or steel pipe will be laid throughout the oity, and it is probable that the oity will make some permanent arrangements with the water oonipauyy for efficient fire protection. 'There was not a quorum present at the oouooil meeting Monday evening and consequently the matter ooold not be acted on officially. In the informal discussion of the matter, all were ia favor of seouring fire proteotion if th insurance rates oonid be decreased sufficiently to warrants the contract with the company. It, is probable that an expert underwriter will arrive from Portland and outline to th oounoll and oompaoy exactly wbat will be necessary in order to meet the demands of the insurance companies.
