Matters and things are coming our way, aud the fact that McMinnville is year­ ly becoming more and more a factor in the affairs of the state, is apparent to the most unobserving. The college is concerned in the latest achievement, and the winning of the oratorical medal by W. Lair Thompson at Monmouth was the oc­ casion for the most unbounded enthusiasm on his return home. He was given a free ride from the depot to the postotiice on the shoulders of his fellow-students. The Baptist church was well filled Monday evening at the public reception and college rally which was held in honor of the victor. Much enthusiasm was mani­ fested and a very pleasant evening enjoyed. The program, which of necessity was extempore to a great extent, was an honor to the college and all who took part. Just before the opening of the program the students of the college marched in and occupied seats reserved for them, and with the college colors and yells did honor to the new victor. President Boardman presided at the meeting. The program opened with a piano duet by Mrs. Annie Evenden and Miss Maud Hobbs, which met with hearty applause. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. Hoberg. Mayor Malo­ ney was then introduced, and in behalf of the city of McMinnville expressed in a forcible and humorous way his faith in the college. Rev. A. J. Hunsaker spoke of OldUrSAMUELPITC^^ Piunpkm Seid“ dix. Senna * Poaiullr Sufis ~ dtUM See d * JYppeiiìùnt - 2/z Carbtn aà Soda * ¡¡arm Set J - Clarified Sugar - Vudsrvrun never. !

It requires the druggist to have a large variety of drugs—fresh drugs. He must give the best possible work and for compensation he must be reasonable. 5A ith the above facts remember we are careful and strive to please one and all alike. These are reasons why our prescription file thribbles all in this county. We are recognized by doctor and customer alike for be­ ing accurate and dispensing only the purest drugs.

BURNS in behalf of the board of trustees, and expressed his pride in the honor just won by a grandson of the founder oi the institution. Mr. Lyman Latourette, of the class of 1894, spoke in behalf of the alumni, in congratulating the college and Mr. Thompson on the victory. Mr. Chas. Galloway, who won the same honor for the college in February, 1896, shed tears in sympathy for the University of Oregon, his alma mater, in its defeat, but expressed his pride in the victory as au old student of the college and a resident of McMinnville. A beautiful piano quartet was played by Mrs. Evenden, Miss Crawford, Miss Latourette and Miss Hobbs. Mr. Jamie McKillop recited a parody on Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade,” which did honor to the occasion. The principal attraction of the evening was the prize oration delivered by Mr. Thompson. It was listened to with marked attention. Mr. Thompson’s-thoughts are quite.clear, expressed in good language, and uttered with force. He began by referring’to our late war with Spain aud to the fact that the world is rife with war. This led to a consideration of our national policy, which has ever been expansion. He met the argument that our policy has been moulded by accident by referring to our past history with special stress on the days of the revolution. Of course our policy has changed as it applies to details, but not in its main objects of attain­ ment. Our nation has been developed on the principle of expansion. Expansion is not imperialism. Imperialism is despotism, while expansion is the expression of the rule of the people. Our country has never taken a forward step except as the people led in the movement. This has always been our policy, and now we I must either advance or retreat. To advance we must leave the continent. A call comes from God and from an enslaved people, demanding that we carry our civil­ ization to others. This call we must obey. Expansion as it is now discussed ap­ plies to the Philippine islands. Several reasons were given showing why we should aeep these islands. It will give us the means of maintaining our position among the nations. We must have a doorway to the orient. Our commercial interests make the same demand. Morality demands retention also. If we abandon them, they will become the seat of a contention which shall last for years, and which will result in a worse state than they were when under the rule of Spain. We must eliminate the present evils and give them our civilization. Our jiolicy has always been expansion and must always continue so if we are to develop and be of greatest service to the world. At the close of the oration President Boardman spoke of the advantages of such a victory to the college ami city, and appealed for aid from the people to fos­ ter the oratorical spirit 111 the college by raising$500 for a permanent fund, and the president hopes to raise the remainder by private subscription. During the even­ ing two original poetns were sung. These were understood to be the composition of two or three of the college students.
