MAY ROBSON AT 1 TS FRIDAY May Robson in "A Xiglit Out" will liq the attraction nt the Grant Pass opera bouse next Friday, Feb. 7. Her vehicle- this year is "A Night Out" which is full of delightfully ludicrous situations furnishing an abundance of opportunities for lliss Kobson's .ef fective acting of her own peculiarly ehurming style. Miss Robson essays the role of a grandmother who has lier owp notions nbout bringing up boys, and who proves that her own nplions are all right. The fun cen ters around "GranmnraV experiences on tho night when she goes out with her grandsons, who tire determined to nee (he (tights. Qranraum's "mor ning after" is one of the richest things in the comedy line ever seen on any stage. Mr.. Fee and Mr. Scott of the Southern -Pacific passenger traffic department have expressed their wil llinguesp tp htfld traiu No. 10 at Grants Pass for those who wish to witnesn'MisH Robson' jierformnnce.

"Nl' voice ntminst a million" is what- the Portland Vy Oregonian styles the Arail Tribune's protest against the raid on the state treasury to gratify the foibles and frivolities of the O. A. C. ence. Says tho Oregeman: Tho Medford Mnlt Tribune finds room In Its linpovertxhed pages to mako a Inrge-typed attack on tho Oregon Agricultural College, which la termed "an InUatcd mushroom of nn Institution." not deserving tho large appropriation asked Ironi the Legislature. Incidentally the Mcitford paper drags In tho-ghoat of tho old normal school tight, and gives lis own version of The Orcgonlan'a responsibility for withdrawal of state support for Ashland. Poverty lias always been a term of dread reproach with the Orogonian, a stigma of dire disgrace. Jt cannot com prehend how anyone could choose to be poor but honest. The Alan Tribune s pages would not be "impoverished" were it conducted like the Oregonian and prostitution the foundation of its prosperity. Continuing, the Orogonian says: The people of this stato as a whole, believe profoundly In tho great mission of the Agricultural College. It Is one or the most valuable Institu tions In Oregon. It Is under competent guidance. It is doing n mighty work for tho whole people. It merits adequate support that Its service may continue, and bo broadened Into newer and wider activities in nil the counties of Oregon. Subject the O. A. C. to the ing analysis given tho normal sity, and it is ouestionablo will believe in it so "profoundly." By the practise of judicious political arts, it has been immune from attack or other than superficial examination at tho hands oL the metropolitan press. Its student cost to the state per hour of instruction has licver been dwelt upon. Its inflated statistics and its multifarious political activities, have drawn no whisper of reproach. The nun tier ot its praises. The Oregonian saw graft and waste of public funds in tho $1'2,000 average annual appropriation made to sustain the Ashland normal, but sees no graft or waste in the $850,000 asked of the legislature for tho O. A. C. If the O. A. C. is under "competent guidance" so were tho normal schools. Jf it is doing a "mighty' work" at an extravagant cost, so were the normals,' at a much less cost, and every county is now trying to .make up for the lack of normal school instruction by employing "supervi sors" at a much greater price to taxpayers. If the O. A. l merits "adequate support that its service may coutinue and be broadened" so did the normal schools, out off in tho midst of their usefulness largely by tho Oregonian's policy of enmity to education and the small-sized states men who followed its dictation Continuing, tho Oregonian We are concerned that thero should be an opinion anywhere, however mistaken, or vicious, or prejudiced, Is a "mushroom Institution." Its mush-room growth is the ever-increasing demands O. A. C. and critical analysis the mushroom order, the result ot politics, press agents and padding. The O. A. O. catalogue for 1912, shows by actual count a student enrollment in college worK, ol iuou, end in winter short coui-ses Echool 234. a total of 3912, yet enrollment as 28G8, showing enrollment to impress legislatures and secure appropria tions. On the basis of unit student enrollment, followed by the higher educational institutions of the country, that is instruction for one student for tin average school year, or thirty-six weeks, the student units at the 0. A. C. totals 872 for 1910-11, so that the por student buildings value is $735, as against $39(5 at the University of Illinois, $507 at the University of Minnesota, $G95 at the University of Wisconsin, and $2ou at the investment per student than most of the great universities. Again nil examination of the work shows a very low standard in curriculum, lower tlian in ncarlv all univer sities, much work being done tnat should be done m high schools at district expense instead of at state expense. The O. A. C. irishmen and sophomore years correspond to 11th and 12th grades of high school work, and the preparatory to the lower high school grades. The junior and senior years of the 0. A. C. correspond in requirements to first and second year university work. So high schools are robbed to inflate the 0. A. C. and for the purpose of impressing the legislature, a student is n student, whether studying grammar school subjects in the preparatory, or scientific subjects in the college proper, or listening for a week in the year to lectures, or casually visiting the poultiy show. The effort throughout is ap parent for quantity of students rather than quality of instruction, for to raiso the standard of scholastic require ments would eliminate a large percentage of those enrolled and render unnecessary much of the appropriations ttsked. In conclusion, the Oregonian draws a magic circle about the 0. A. C. to screen it from heathen eyes and the profan ing gazo of thu Philistine. It thus declaims against tlie eacrilego of criticising the sacred white elephant of educa educa teon: Jackson County, among others, has just as deep an Interest in the Agricultural College as any other. Why should any volco thoro dare to raise itself In derogation of Oregon Agricultural College? Jackson county pays proportionately as other counties to support the 0. A. C. and furnishes as many students and therefore is as much interested. Impoverished pages do not prevent the Mail Tribune's ptiying ten times as much in taxes proportionately as the Oregonian with its prosper ous pages, and the time has not yet come when a tax payer cannot "dare" to question the conduct of any stato institution -no matter on how high a pedestal it is placed by the Oregonian. It is because the Mail Tribune is sincerely interested in the 0. A. C, is familiar with results accomplished and recognizes tho good it does and the greater possibilities it possesses for good, that it would sec the institution discard the mush-room methods 't has adopted to semre appro priations, for higher standards and increased efficiency. It would holp squeezo out superficiality, and inflation, and replace hot-air, press puffs and politics with honesty, sin- cerity and thoroughness. Ivor this it dares to raise its voice, though "one against a MEDFORD OTIE TRTBUNR lJ.J'lfUJ Perhaps it piakes no differ malign criticism and search schools or the state univor whether the people of Oregon silence is only lilted to sound into the valley ot omivion. says: that toe Oregon Agricultural uouege tho main reason advanced fot for state money made by the shows its development is of b'18, in music and summer tho catalogue gives the total 95G names lacking a padded University ol Oregon, n larger million."

It Is to bo assumed thnt it Is tho dellberato desire and purpose of tho people of Oregon that, though tt Is nominally a republican state, It should reserve Its greatest honors for Its democratic politicians." Krom the Oregonian' editorial garden wo pluck that beautiful flow er ot charming diction and rare poli tical sagacity.

It Is as easy ns un derstanding that black Is white, or gathering grain's from thistles, or mixing oil with water. And of tho assumption that tt Is the deliberate desire and purpose ot the people of Oregon thnt they should reserve their greatest honors for dembcratlc politicians, some thing may bo said thnt has less to do with tho Orcgonlan's malpractice In tar J?-- Encouraged by the number of sub scriptions for seats nnd the eutluis iam of the mimic lover of the city Fletcher Fih has announced that tho concert to be given here by Madame Lillian Xordicn and company, Feb. 14 is now assured.

He has ar ranged to .ell tickets nt popular prices, another feature that is taking well with the public, but which mean- more work and rik to him. Admit tedly Kordicn is the greatest dram atic soprano of tho present day. Within the last two years her career has been crowned with the greatest nehievt-ments nnd honors of her life At tho Paris Grand Opera house nnd tho Iterliu Royal 0tern she was given wonderful ovations when she Ming tho role of Isolde, confirming her right to the title of the grentent Wng nerinu singer of tho woild.

Tho Oregoulnu's support of lien Selling was as deadly to him as Its support was fatal to llower man, nnd ngnUi the Oregonian elected a democrat, whom few desired, and not ninny dreamed would be chosen.
