Politics and Higher Education
THERE is a good deal of loose thinking about politics. Strictly
speaking politics is the art and science of government. In
common usage, however, polities is frequently employed in a
disparaging and derogatory sense.
A correspondent in the Oregonian this morning, for example,
pings his Corona in righteous wrath, to demand that politics be
taken from the realm of higher education in this state. By
the term politics, we assume, he means the pulling and hauling
of self interested individuals and factions, for this sdvantage or
that, to the injury and detriment, of the cause bf education itself.
Would that correspondent's prayer might be answered.
Every true friend of education would like to see it divorced
completely and entirely from polities.
But nothing is more certain, than that it can't he. The state
university and the state college, are public institutions, sup
ported by the tax payers, and as long as this is true, the elimina
tion of politics in their administration is utterly impossible.
We don't of course mean partisan politics.
Political issues and party labels, the irrepressible and semi
comic conflict between Republicans and Democrats, have no
place in higher education and, we trust never will have.
But personal politics, factional politics, the reactions, the
impulses and prejudices, of both individuals and vox populi in
the mass, HAVE, and as long as the college and university, arc
PU'BrjC, rather than private institutions of learning, such a
condition is unavoidable.
SO in our judgment, all this talk about ELIMINATING this
type of politics from the administration of higher education
in this state, might as well he abandoned, for it expresses an
ideal that can never be reached. Far more sensible to realistij
ally face the facts as they are, and start from the premise, that
politics in the popular sense, have never been eliminated from
public education and never will be.
For that is the truth.
HAVING disposed of that, matter, and ceased crying for the
moon, then, as we see it, the thing to do is, to so readjust
the system of higher education, that the destructive force of
such politics may be reduced to a minimum, and as far as is
humanly possible, reasonable peace and harmony be restored, t
the realm of education throughout the state.
Toward this end, the resignation of C'hiuiccUor Kerr, was a
step in the right direction. He had done his job and an excel
lent job too. As leader of a rival institution, he never could
IN another up state comment on
note the hope expressed, that
be "something more than a masterful politician. '
Amen to that of course. We hope he will he Ml'C'H more,
an cducntor, capable and progressive, a gentleman and a scholar,
the best man for the job that can be secured, but
We hope too he will be a good politician, and by good we
mean just that GOOD!
We hope he will understand that a knowledge of human
nature, an ability to get. along with people all sorts and types
of people. a clear grasp of the cross currents and purposes, the
petty differences and selfish aims, which motivate and often
mislead, the people in the mass. are almost as necessary to
success in his position, as sound scholarship or executive ability.
For, as above stated, there is no way of eliminating this type
of politics from the administration of our institutions of higher
learning or for that matter, from the administration of ANY
public institutions.
Dr. Kerr may have been too much a politician. But let thi
fact not be forgotten. No one can make a success as chancellor
of higher education in this state who is NO politician.
And the better politician he is in this PROFKR sense of the
term, the better for him, the better for the institutions of higher
education and the better for the state.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Iron and Ammonium Citrate
I think the reader who complained
that the druggist sold her green
scales or powder of Iron and ammon
ium citrate got the ferrous com
pound, which Is green, and not well
borne. You probably meant the ferric
compound, which is garnet red and
should be dispensed when Iron-ammonium
citrate Is called for. (J. Q.,
Ph. a.)
Answer Thank you, brother. That
Is correct. I mean only the official
U.S. P. iron-and-ammonium citrate,
which should be garnet red scales.
Full directions for preparing the
blood tonic for simple anemia In book

cents coin and stamped addressed en

Cleaning Hair Bru"h
How can I clean a hair brush? What
solution or preparation shall I use?
(L. A. C.)
Answer I believe a thorough wash
ing of the brush with hot water and
ordinary soap, then drying In direct
sunlight, Is the best way to clean or
disinfect a hair brush. Soaking bris
tles for a period of 24 to 48 hours
in a solution of one part of standard
Liquor Formaldehyde with four parts
water, la a good way to destroy pos
sible anthrax baclll or other disease
germs on new brushes. Reppated rins
ing is necessary to get all the formal
dehyde out of the brush before you
use It. Rome brushes with metal backs
stand boiling for a minute or two.
and that Is the best way to aterlllze
anything.
Smoking Mothers
Every morning my baby 6 months
old haa small red blotches on her
fingers and arms. Could It be due to
my smoking as I nurse her? I smoke
only two or three cigarettes a day.
i Mrs. H. M.t
Answer Probably not. Does she get
her daily ration of tomato Juice or
fruit Juice, and of cod liver oil?

It would require weeks. If not
months, to obtain such state action.
No new dealer Is very proud of
these two ideas. They have been ac
cepted because there Is nothing else
to do immediately. It la recognized
on the Inside that the voluntary as
sociations will only pretend to be ef
fective. They will merely provide some
semblance of order In the reorgani
zation of business after the collapse
of the NRA. With no centralized au
thority, each business will naturally
do as It sees fit. Also the proposed

set-up Is a long way from being
adopted. In two or three years. It
might provide a feasible substitute
for the new deal reform method. If
energetically pushed through con

by the new deal to amend the inter
state commerce clause of the consti
tution. This Is the only way In which
the new deal can be saved. The fore
most men among the new dealers
now confess it privately. ,
What has happened In the past
week Is that the president has dis
covered that the supreme court has
given him an Issue, it knocked the
legal props our from under his whole
show. He had built nearly all of It
on the ground that the federal gov
ernment haa the power to regulate
anything affecting interstate com
merce. The court said that Interstate
commerce regulation applies only to
goods actually in transit: that la, ac
tual Interstate commerce, not treo
retlcal interstate commerce.
This bundled the whole question
of a new deal Into one composite is
sue. It swept aside all the formidable
natural objections to some phases of
the new deal Issue. It implied the
whole thing, the good parts and the
bad, was not constitutional. This Is
conceded to be strictly correct. The
court merely gave the constitution a
proper literal interpretation. Instead
of winking at the Issue, as it did In
the gold case.
A constitutional amendment giv
ing the government authority to con
trol anything affecting interstate
commerce would present the Issue in
the best possible broad light from his
standpoint.
The strategic advantage of that
course would make the plcayunlsh.
fly-swatting administration of the
NRA comparatively unimportant. Nei
ther would the questions whether
Tugwell knows his business, whether
subsistence homesteads are worth
while, whether stocks should be reg
ulated or any of the other questions
have to be met on their merits alone.
The question would simply be:
"Do you want our new deal? Take It
or leave it."
Any political student will recog
ni?e the advantage of this.
The desirability of this method de
pends entirely on public opinion fol
lowing the court decision. This Is
being permitted to develop fully. The
thousands of telegrams received bv
the president indicate a sufficient 1
basis for the movement. If strikes i
should develop later, if business be- i
comes Involved in price cutting. If 1
the deflationary potentialities of the
result are realized, the surge for the
movement would increase.
The way the issue has played into
Mr. Roosevelt's hands has caused a
rumor to be circulated .here that he
knew of It in advance and was glad
to get it. Also another rumor that
Supreme Court Justice Hughes con
ferred with the president about it,
There is nothing In either of thesr
tales.
First new dealer: "There's nothing
nw m that supreme court decision.'"
Second new dalr: "That's prect-e-ly
the trouble with it."
A harptongued republican now
refers to the new deal as "a corpse
standine up." He borrowed the phrase
from Federal Reserve Boarder Adolph
Miller, who used tt to describe ihe
gold standard, which is Just about In
the same fix.
