THE SCHOOL OF POLITICS.
It must bo non-partisan and non
' political.
Its purpose must be to lvc all the
people a voice In the government In
stead of only one party or only a fac
, tlon or minority.
Its object Is not to do away with
political parties, but to mibstltutc
government of tbo people, by tlic peo
plo and for the people In tbo place of
government by party and for party.
To accomplish this the people must
bo organized on tho above basis In
every neighborhood, without regard to
political subdivisions, now existing,
and without regard to party lines nnd
trco from the manipulation of politi
cal committees or organizations, and
must systematically bo Instructed In
the art of self-government and tho en
forcement of tho representative prin
ciple. For this purpoio polltlcnl schools
must be permanently organized In
every county nnd ovury state of the
Union In overy locality of ovory pre
cinct where ten or twenty, or fifty or
n hundred can bo nviumbleil conven
iently from tliuo to llino. The school
Should meet an often as once In two
weeks, and lint less than onco a month
to practice tho art of Bclf-governmcnt
tho legislature of tho people and
after discussion pass a vote on men
and measures.
Tho necessity for a school of the
peoplo that In above party uud pledged
to good government alono, along tho
lino of Intelligent action, grows out
of tho concentration of power in tho
hands of n few men, who are not re
sponsible to tho peoplo, nnd who have
long hIiico ceased to roprcaont tho peo
ple. In each state there Is a largo
political center, where corruption la
the greatest and poisons tho very
foundations of government, through
tho rottenness of city politics gener
ally. To tho country alono can wo
look for tho rcdomptlvo influences
necessary to purify our social system
ond restoro government to tho hands
of tho people.

Press Comment on the Election.
Party fealty has become a thing Of
the pdst. Even the Democratic party
whose chief hold upon the masses In
tho days of Its glory, has, In a meas
ure, passed away. Its onco powerful
grip has been loosened nnd It no longer
chokes the liberty of thought. Many
aro leaving tho party outright while
Others remaining will not support
men for onice not of their liking.

S. L. Moorehcad, who received $10 ti

of the last legislature was defeated
for re-election, receiving tho lowest
vote on tho Republican ticket In Lane

the Albany convention tho Newport

that there Is something radically

congress will be little regretted by
many people, because few had any

cession to their ranks had been very
recent, and tho silver men despised
htm for his sudden Hop. Iloseburg
Review.
That John II. Mitchell will succeed
himself In tho United Stntcs senate
Is not a certainty, but ho stands n
better show now than nuy other man
In tho state. Silver Republicans,
Populists and Democrats will concen
trate on him In preference to tiny gold
stnndnrd man, nnd that no sold
standard man can be elected Is certain.

It was 80 o'clock before the result
of the high Jump was announced nt
the fair grounds. This greatly Intrud
ed upon the entertainment nt the
Reed In the evening. However, u
great many remained at tin grounds
to tho last event.
IN THE EVENING.
Only a small audience enjoyed tho
excellent musical and literary enter
tainment, given ut tho Reed Saturday
evening. The best talent from the
visiting colleges was represented on
tho program. The excellence of the
entertainment was strongly In cvi
denco since each number received n
generous encore, to which the partici
pants kindly responded. The many
friends of Prof. Heritage and Wink
ler were disappointed In their Inabil
ity to perform. Prof. Heritage acted
as announcer nt tho fair grounds,
which caused him to take n cold. The
Corvallls Mandolin club was unable to
be present.
During the program Prof. R. A.
Heritage presented the handsome
championship cup, to R. Coleman,
president of the Eugene Athletic
team.
NOTES.
There were no "professionals" In
tho Willamette university team.
The rooter band of W. U mado u
good nppeurancc. Tho bus, in whMi
they were carried was richly deco
rated in cardinal and old gold.
Willamette's mascot, "Pug" Rich
ardson, was a prominent llguro upon
tho track and no one will bcllcvo It
was a failure on his part to bring
about tho desired result for tho Salem
team.
Tho Eugene delegation cheered with
considerable vim every tlmo a point
wns recorded In' favor of tho U. of O.
Tho Eugene girls certainly did their
part In winning the cup.
Tho O. A. 0., or Corvallls, had a
larger delegation nt tho fair grounds
than any other visiting team. Their
yell Iwns given a great many times
during tho nftomoon.
Company F., O. A. C. cadets mndo n
handsome appearance, showing the
most careful training. Tholr move
ments wore almost as 0110 man. It
was very evident from tho perform
ance of tho cadets Saturday that
"practice makes perfect."
Tho Salem inllltla did remarkably
well for a lxxly of mon having only
weekly drills. Thoy executed sovernl
dllllcult movements qui to well, how
over. Tho Eugouo delegation brought
monoy as well ns "sass" with them.
Murphy (W. U.) Is almost univer
sally conceded to bo tho prettiest 220
yard hurdler In tho stato. Ho easily
cleared ovory ono of his hurdles Sntur
day which cannot bo snld of his com
potltors.
It Is evident from Saturday's com
petitive drill that tho "farmers' (as
tho O. A. 0. boys aro called) under
stand military tactics equally as well
as thoy do tho nrt of farming.
Or course It would not havo been
right to havo had tho N. W. record
for tho mile walk broken Saturday.
McAlphln, of tho M. A. 0. or Port
land who acted as referee, holds tho
N. W. record for tho mllo walk and It
would not havo been fnlr to lower It.
And so tho referee said Sonncman
and Ryars ran. Well it wns very
evident theso young men mado their
competitors movo qulto rapidly to
to keep In sight of them. Reforeo
Mo Alphln, or tho M. A. A. C., was
Justly denounced for his ruling In tho
mllo walk. Ills decision was most
unjust to Old Wlllametto who objected
most strenously but to no avail, Son
nomanndld not got oil or a walk at
all but it Is reported that McAlphln,
who holds tho northwest record for
tho mllo walk, fearing that tho record
might bo lowered by Sonncman, ruled
thnt gentleman off tho track for not
striking bin entire foot on tho ground.
On tho last 100 yards, howover, Ryars
by it miiguUlcoiit spurt passed Do
Lashuiutt (U. O.) und passed under
tho tape tlrst. Rut tho refereo nlso
disqualified Ryars from tho raco
accusing him (Ryars) of running dur
ing tho hut 220 yards of the walk
Tho referee received a hiss from tho
largo crowd for his unfair ruling.
uynrs t(w. u.) mado a magnificent
spurt at tho closo of tho mllo wfk
passing iNLnsiiuiutt (U O.)
crossed tho tano first. Mr. RvnrsH 1
carried from tho held on tho ehoii
of his admirers and will alwn
considered tho winner of Mm rioujrii
OUJ
modorato thinking people, nltAouW Keeno vs. il. F. Wndc, e.t al.;
uu wis uiMiutuincu oy 1110 reiereo.
At tho next Held meet It is qulto
likely no record breakers will bo
placed on thetrackasjudges especially
In that event of which ho holds tho
record.
I. H. VanWinkle. member of the
oxeoutlvo commltteo from old Wil
lamette, was not , consulted at all lit
regard to having McAlphln act'.as
'referee. What more could bcex-

would probably not have been allowed

a pretty spurt 011 the last quarter 01
the second mile In the bicycle race,
but Willamette's three men proved
too speedy for him.
It takes a man with wings -to pass
Ivlggs on the spurt. Rlgga has a
future before him, asja cyclist, and
will somo day lower a record.
"Little Scottle," as Willamette's
polo vaultcr, Is known; he did good
work Saturday. He cleared the pole
as easily as usual.
Oulss won the broad Jump at 20
feet six Inches, and was loudly cheered.
This Is the best Jump Mr. Oulss has
made this season.
Balem lias one consuiuuuii imjmij,
in having Eugene win the cup, and
thnt is, that Coleman and Bishop, who
won Hrst place in the 410 and 880
yards dash respectively, arc Salem
boys.
Tho last hair of the 880 yard run,
wns very close. Bishop (U. O.), and
Burnett (O. A. C), ran for aboutilOO
yards side by side, but Just bcrore
reaching tho tape, RIshop forged
ahead, winning by a few feet.
Parker of Monmouth, who wished
to enter tho bicycle race, was pro
tested Jsut before and was obliged to
return from tho track, Salem team
did not appear to desire any "profes
sionals" around.
Every event In which Overholt ( U.
O.) won, will be contested, as that
gentleman Is also a professional,
which debars him from participating
In amateur athletics.
Burnett (O. A. C.) did excellent
work for his team. lie won tho mllo
race, and camo near repeating the
perrormancc, inthe 880 yard run, but
RIshop was a little too speedy.

W F, Sonncman, Willamette's
champion mllo walker, leaves Tues
day for Lincoln, Nob, Mr. Sonueinnn
would undoubtedly havo broken tho
coast record for tho mllo wnlk Satur
day had ho not been called oil tho
track by McAlphln who was afraid ho
might loose his laurels. It might be
well to stato right hero that Mr, Son
ncman made a mllo In oxactly 7:33,
while practicing ono ovcnlng previous
to Held day. Tho N. IV. record for
tho mllo wnlk Is only 8.10 and Is
held by McAlphln, of Portlnnd. The
allegation on the part or tho reforeo
that Sonnonmn and Ryars were the
only ono that walked.
Thero was only ono unpleasantness
to mar tho pleasures of tho day und
that was a slight controversy on tho
street which resulted In 11 few blows.
Both young uiou participating in tho
affair woro strangers and tho dlsputo
aroso over Wlllametto not winning
tho cup. Ono insisted that Salem had
been "Jobbed" by tho Judircs and tho
otherdonlcd thochargonnd wished to
light, but tho gontleinan upholding
tho Salem team started to leayo tho
sccno when ho was Btruck by tho
other man In tho back of tho head.
Ho turned around and struck his op
ponent threo blows before his manly
rorm touched tho sidewalk. Both
gentlemen were arrested but tho gen
tleman who approved or tho decision
or tho Judges mado a satisfactory set
tlement by paying tho lines or both.
