With slight shades of difference, you havo tho same religion, manners, habits, and political piinciples. You have, in a common cause, fought and triumphed together; tho indepemdence and liberty you possess are tho work of joint counsels and joint pffortsi of common dangers, sufferings, and successes. It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in these intruded wilh its administration to con- tine themselves within their respective constitutional sphere, avoiding, in he exercise of tho powers of one department, to encroach upon another. Tho spirit of encroachment tends to partmnntu in one, and thus to create, real despotism. A just estimate of that abuse it which predominates in tho human heart, is sufficient to satisfy ivs of tho truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal fliocks in tho ex ercise of political power, 'by dividing and distributing it into different de positories, and constituting each tho guardian of tho public weal, against in vasions by the Others, has been evinced by experiments, ancient and mod ern; som,e of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must bo as .necessary as to- institute them. If, in tho opinion of the people, tho distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be, in any par ticular, wrong let it be corrected by an amendment, in tuo way which the ecnititntion designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may bo the insormncnt of good, it is the cus-tor.uu-y weapon by which free governments are destroyed.

Senator Patterson opposed the bill on tho grounds thot be objected to tho establishment of an officers training camp at tho University of Oregon to train men who had net gone to Franco to teach tho boys in the public schools. Ho insisted that these jobs should bo left for the men who did go to France and who would roturn homo with moro and better training than could bo giv en at an officers' training camp. Senators Pierce, fctraycr and S.-nith of Coos joined in the opposition to the bill, while Senators Eitner, Thomas and Hurley were the principal spenkera In support of the bill Senator Straycr called tho bill a "piece of refined bunk, from start to finish." "I never was in a legislature where thcro were moro insidious efforts to create jobs for hungry office seekers than here," ho said. "We havo ben hero 40 days and half of our tiino has been taken up with measures to pro-, vide jobs." Senator Picrco argued that the bill sought to provide an officers' train ing camp at the state university which should be at the Oregon Agri cultural college, if any place, as. the college is a land grant school where military training must bo given. Senators Kitner and Thomas declared that the late Theodore Roosevelt sound ed tho warning for universal military training at the time tho Germans in vaded Belgium and in light of events of recent years no ono should oppose such training- Whilo supporting tho bill. Senator Thomas, however, said he agreed wilh Strayor that 'this legislature io spending its fundB like drunken sail ors."
