IN the chapel of the Agricultural Col
lege will be placed a tablet in memory
of the late president, that future genera
tions of students and visitors may be re-
minded of the respect and honor in which
Professor Arnold was held by the alumni.
The action is indeed commendable. On
the tablets of their memory his name is
written. Engraven Oh their hearts in
letters deeper and more lasting than the
engraver's cl1ise1 can trace, are his in
fuence and the precepts he so ably
taught Time can never efface his mem
ory. In every precinct of the college
building, the graduate is reminded that
'.Once, ah, once within these walls, one
whom memory oft recalls" their friend
and instructor taught and guided. The
monument he raised to himself by his
work, will outlast any that loving friends
may erect. This tribute to his memory
is a fitting one indeed. For the alumni
to do more, would be impossible.

PLAYING THE BABY ACT,

Since September the state has been
fairly alive with book agents sent here
by eastern publishing houses to demand
a change in school text books. These
agents caused to be placed in the hands
of county superintendents throughout
the state, samples of their publications.
Besides this, they have visited the sew
eral superintendent personally, and
urged upon them the advantages(?) of a
change from the system of books in use.
| Every competitor was given hearing.
The election came on regularly, accord
ing to law. Superintendents and mem-
bers of the state board of examiners, in
the meantime, made a careful examina-
ton of all publications entered in the
contest. School patrons demanded no
change. The cry of 'hard tines and
economy" went from every school dis
trict in the state. Those who had the
selection of books in hand, after careful
consideration of the situation, and also
of the relative merits of the books offered
for selection, concluded to make no
material change. Upon canvassing the
vote, the fact is disclosed that the Amer
ican Book Company was fairly, and by a
very large majority of the ballots cast,
entitled to the contract for furnishing the
books during the coming six years.
This result naturally causes some hard
feelings to exist in the bosoms of nuner-
Gus agents of rival publishers, who have
been here for several months at consid-
cradle expense to their respective firms,
and are now compelled to return home
and render an account of their steward
ship. In order to square" himself with
his house, and offer some excuse for his
! failure to secure business one of these
agents has even gone SO far as to write a
column article for publications in last
Sundays Oregonian. In this, he mani
tests an interest in our welfare that is in
deed remarkable. Just think of it! He
has been in. Oregon nearly two months,
and he tells us, because his firm failed to
get any of their books adopted, that our
school superintendent and state board of
examiners are disloyal, dishonorable,
| ''and will be buried so deeply as to never
rise again." all because they voted in the
interest of the school patrons of the state
and against a change. He makes all
manner of accusations against the Amer
ican Book Company and says it should
be investigated by al-legislative commit
| tee, which will cost the taxpayers sew
eral hundred dollars needless expense,
just because his company failed to get
their books adopted. This would-be die
tator must be actuated only by selfish
motives. Some excuse must be made
for his failure in Oregon, or upon return
ing home he may be jobless. Business
men don't play the baby act" The leg
islature of Oregon is made up of men;
not infants. That body has too much
sense to notice his diatribes against those
who opposed change, and it is alto
gether improbable that any legislative
action will be taken in the matter Ore
is not interested in this disappointed
agent, or his house, and will not be die
tated to by him. He should speedily
return to Philadelphia.

MR.. DAILY, our joint representative,
time during the coming senatorial con-
test for Do1ph. AS a last resort the only
other candidate he will favor will be Pen
noyer. This is pretty strong language.
Mr.. Daily should not forget that we are
still living under a republican form of
government, a fundamental principle of
which is majority rule. Mr.. Dolph may
not be the caucus nominee, in which
event Mr.. Daily will, to say the least, be
placed in an awkward position.

THERE can be no possible doubt of the
objection to the election of Mr.. Do1ph.
What is the necessity of Overriding this
element? Wouldn't Gov. Lord make a
good senator and wouldn't his selection
meet with practically unanimous favor?
Is there any serions objection to Mr..
Lowell? Both Mr.. Tongue and Mr.. Full
ton have done more for the party than
Mr.. Dolph. Is there any personal OBJ
lection to these men?

"reformers" being any better or having
any higher aims than he has.
This junta of four leaders has sprung
into definite being some time within few
days and appears to constitute at present
clear-cut "big four" who alone are
actively defending the Democracy from
Buckley and who are the only generals in
the field against him at this moment
What the junta's lease of power will be
and what other natural leaders will come
out of the large and respectable anti-Buck-
ley element of the party people must wait
to find out. Buckley has not said how
much he fears the power and skill of this
quartet.
Mr.. McNab, who has been very active in
Democratic politics for some time and has
been associated along various lines with
the anti-Buckley element since the Sulli-
van and Dryer revolution, appears just
now to be the most active member of the
lunta. Possibly he may be regarded as
chief of the cooperating leaders and posi-
bly, he may rise into still clearer view.
Sam Rainey is something of a leader at
times, but he doesn't say much usually,
and it is not easy to estimate his exact
position. McNab says that he is interested
only in good citizenship. Rainey wants
the Fire Department "saved from contact

of San Francisco, and being interested only
in State and National politics, as he says.
does not freely thrust himself into the local
arena. But he would exert any power he
has to save the party from Buckley. Mr..
Daggett is credited with q keen desire to
take delegation to the National Dem
ocratic Convention, but that is an entirely
different matter. Welburn claims that
he has the best interests of the party at
heart in spite of the fact that he, too, has
an eye on that National convention.
McNab has always affiliated with the
Daggett-Irish wing of the party, and so
his association with Daggett is natural
He is especially close to Welburn, who
owes McNab good deal for his Collector
ship, so that McNab Yields good deal of
strength through Welburn and the orders
he can give. McNab doesn't know Rainey,
he says, but is a friend of Chief Sullivan and
wants the Fire Department saved from
Buckley and politics." so the cooperation
of the Fire Department is quite natural.
Although Rainey was being cursed and re-
pudiated along with Buckley not long ago
his influence is naturally not spurned

made its appearance at Vina among vines
not grated upon resistant stocks. If this
is the case, it is only necessary to reset
that portion with resistant or wild
stocks, as they are more generally known
and then graft the desired variety.
"Phylloxera only makes its appearance
in spots, hence it is not probable that if it
exists at Vina it would spread so rapidly
as to curtail to any material degree the
income of Stanford University Many of
the finest vineyards of California have
been afflicted in this way, yet they were
all reset with resistant stocks and are now
in frst-class condition. Some five years
ago there made its appearance in South
ern California peculiar blight known as
the mysterious grapevine disease. 1t has
gradually wasted itself away, however,
until scarcely trace of it is left in the
lower counties. 1t would be hard for me
to believe that it had made its appearance
at Vina. though of course stranger things
have happened. From the description pub
lished in THE CALL l am inclined to think
that if there is any disease at all it is
phylloxera. Some months ago I made a
trip through the upper counties, and 1 am
confident that the vineyard was free at
that time from any fatal blight

CLOSING The SEASON.

houses In the Lee of the Marin
County Hills.

The yacht clubs of Sausalito are closed.
There was dancing and singing last night
upon the terraces of the Pacifics and upon
the floats of the San Franciscos. The season
of the yachtsmen is passed and the doors
of the clubs are no longer open.
The yachts, or at least those that dare to
brave the uncertain weather of the winter
months, will still be in commission. buk
officially speaking the season closed, and
the hops at the different clubhouses last
evening were to mark the event.
On the heights of the Pacific Club Chi
nese lanterns glowed in the semi-darkness
OF the moonlight night, lighting ND the
pathways and terraces of the club grounds
until they presented picture not to be
forgotten. The yachts at anchor off the
clubhouse all had their lights hung out,
and 1t seemed as if miniature city had
suddenly settled down just off the beach
and mad prepared itself to stay at least as
long as the festivities lasted.
The tug Vigiiant took over the visitors to
the Pacific Club. There were more people
upon the decks of the tug coming back,
however, Tor many of the guests had gone
over upon the regular ferry-boat. There
was qanclng and singing and music from a
oand and music from couple of negro
over and back.
In charge of the affair was an invitation
committee composed of Leon S. Greene
baum. Y. W. Gaskill, D. II. Bib, H. D.
Aell, }. d. Maxwell and L. Haber.
FARTHER down the beach the San Fran
cisco Yacht Club held its closing cere-
monies. The clubhouse was decked in
lanterns and the yachts lying just off the
hoat were all lighted up in honor of the
event. The committee in charge was COM
posed of Dr.. V. P. Buckley, G. c. Bruce
and III. II. Jenners. The San Franciscos
had the tug Hercules chartered to take
the guests back, and after those who had
TO return TO the City had left there was
links at the clubhouse.
The Vigilant left the wharf of the Pacific
Club about the same time as the Hercules
lett that of the San Franchises, and both
tugs, were saluted from the clubhouses,
the heights above and from the decks Of
yachts which they passed. The guests ar.
rived IN the City about Ii 80.

TARGET TOURNAMENT.

the day for the first of the shooting, which
begins to-day at 10 o'clock at the Oakland
racetrack. Among the arrivals were
teams from Stockton, Sacramento and vi.
salia and number of individual shots
from other parts of the State. The San
Jose team will come up this morning. Ii
is expected that there will be in attend
ance at the tournament, which will last
two days, at least $50 men. There will be
a number of teams of six men each to shoot
for the association trophy to-day and for
the Overland Monthly trophy tomorrow
and great deal of interest is taken in
these events.

when it is in the interest of purity. Then
Daggett and Rainey are close and friendly.
From these associated sources thus COM
bined proceeded the power that Buckley
felt on Wednesday night. From the Fire
Department went out the saving infiu-
ences of Eddie Creamy, Johnny Dough-
erty, Fire Commissioner Mcdonald and
the red buggies that flew about town before
that meeting. At the Mint Charley A1mes,
Nelly Beggs ana others received their or
ders. Welburn's Office was power in infiu-
encing members of the general committee.
There were Deputies Ned Lanigan, Tommy
Chandler, Jack WEIGH, Frank P. Cusick,
Mike Finn and other influential district
workers to send forth. On the side there
was Major Harvey and Sam Braunhart,
Port Wardens, who represent State poll
tics, and many other lesser influences not
rising to the level of party leadership.
These men thus com bined are openly
strong anti-BucKley Democrats are ready
for trouble when needed. But none
of these members of the present junta
are popular and strong with all fac
tons. They are severally derided, cursed
and guyed by all sorts of Democrats, and
the Big Four is not very largely credited
with being the power that is to strength en-
the party and lead it to great victory
against Buckley and to make Roadway for
pure politics and good government"
The programme now is to get together in
few days the Deuprey committee of
twenty-five, appointed at the last munich
pal convention, and fix UP plan of organ
ization. The plan includes the creation of
new general COMMITTEES of $50, giving
twenty-five members to each district, as
now. 1t seems certain that the next bat
tie with Buckley will be over the work of
the Deuprey committee, and that it will
come soon. The Deuprey committee is
scorned and derided by the Buckley men.
The plan of organization of the last mu-
nicipal convention included the appoint
ment of committee OF. twenty-five on
county organization. 1t was announced
by Chairman Eugene N. Deuprey at mid
night of the last day of the convention,
and it was supposed to be anti-Buckley.
When it was announced the widest and
fiercest battle of that stormy convention
ensued. Peter F. Dunno, seconded by
Andy Clunie, fought it for half an hour
when they could make themselves heard.
