ARE YOU
AJOTER?
If You Havn't Registered
You Can Vote by Being
Sworn In.
Those who can vote at the special
referendum election of November 4th
are as follows: Men who have not
registered under this law but who
did vote at the last general election,
when Woodrow Wilson was chosen
president; men or women who have
not registered under the new l.iw but
who will sign '-'Blank A" at the polls
and be i.wom in by the clerk of elec
tion. Six freeholders must act as
witnesses in such event,
This will be the first election at
which women jvilPhave an opportun
ity to vote upon state measures.
The registration of women is not
great. So little campaign has been
made in connection with any of the
five measures under consideration
that thousands of women failed to
register.
The suffrage leaders, like Mrs.
Abigail Scott Duniway, of Portland
the clubwomen of practically all Ore
gon towns, and mothers of children
generally have all been urging upon
their voting sisters to stand behind
the University of Oregon bills as a
means of demonstrating women's de
sire for that improvement in socsal
and general living conditions that
follows advancement of general edu
cation in a state.
Pennant Fight.
Henry Kern, president of the
Coos county baseball league, wis
unable to bring about a settlement
of the differences about the $250
prize money in his trip to ( oquille
and the absence of R. E. L. Bedtl
lion upsi't all the plans for an ar
rangement. It is now advocated on
the bay the best plan is to combine
the $too, second money, and fight
the Bandon manager's suit against
President Kern, and be.lt it if pos
sible. Whether this action will be
taken oj not, cannot he said for a
certainty, but there are a number
who favor such a proceeding.

The University, of "Oregon has al
ways been forced, under a system
prevailjng shie1 1873, to, ask each
legislature for funds. with which to
operate during another two years.
TJlie Oregon Agsicultural College
has bean compelled to do tbea same.
These, maintenance bills have fr
queptly become the storm center 01
the political struggles whhiu the
legislature. The University aijd
the Agricultural College, therefor
have constantly been accused of en
gaging in politics'and of the unaca-
deiflic practice of political atrading;'
and their dignity and usetulness
have been correspondingly impaired.
Passage y the I9i3jegislatt)re of
the millage bill provided for auto
matic maintenance of each institution
after next year. A fraction of a
mill on eacji state lev wasset aside
for the University and a slightly
larger fraction of a mill for tlfe Agri
cultural College. Thus, as the state
crows, the two ereat schools are
exacted to expand. The legisla
turescjince9o8 have at each session
passed bills providing suqh addition

persons hostile to the University on
