THE Times, ignoring the efforts made
to reduce the expenses of state and county
government by the thirty members who
opposed the Simon ring in the legislature,
objects to their being called 'noble,'
because they did not adhere to the die
tates of a caucus which was known, and
understood at the time not to be binding,
resolution to make it SO being with
drawn after strong debate, without
submitting it to vote. The Times also
mentions the old saw, that "there is
honor among thieves" This old saying
must be mistake, or he whose earnarks
the article carries, after nominating and
voting for one of his fellows in the state
convention for district judge several years
ago. would not thereafter have vilifed
and traduced him to accomplish his de-
feat.

THE Oregonian is straddling around,
trying to pose before the people as being
partly victorious in its efforts to secure a
gold-bug senator, by attempting to make
it appear that Senator McBride's views
on the question of silver coinage are un-
known. No great general ever delayed
a surrender when it became inevitable,
and the Oregonian will be much more
respected when it candidly admits the
utter defeat of every important measure
which it supported during the last session
of the legislature. There is NO use in
pro1onging the agony. To be hunted
down and compelled to surrender piece
meal will be very annoying, besides it is
only in guerrilla warfare that this is made
necessary. Senator Mcbride has decided
views on the silver question, and much
trouble will be saved to the ''great daily"
if it does not continue to keep up a
de1usion in regard to his position.

But he is likely to be taught lesson some

5 GOVERNOR Lords judicious exercise
of the veto power shows the wisdom of
selecting an able jurist to occupy the ex-
ecutive chair. During his incumbency,
the people of Oregon need have no fears
that legislative acts will become laws un-
less the same are strictly in accord with
the true spirit and intent of the constitu-
ton. Heretofore there has been much
needless and expensive litigation caused
on account of the improper use of the
veto prerogative.

Eager and Nipping Wind,

A continuous downpour of rain, inclement
weather, generally in winter and spring, are
unfavorable to all classes of invalids. But
warmth and activity infused into the circu-
lation counteracts these influences and inter-
pose defense against them. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, most thorough and effect
i've of stomachics and tonics, not only
enriches the blood, but accelerates its circu-
lation. For chill, or premonitory symp-
toms of rheumatism and kidney complaint,
particularly prevalent at these seasons, it is
the best possible remedy. 1t is also invalu-
able for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa-
tion and nervousness. Never set out on
winter or spring journey without it. Elderly
persons and the delicate and convalescent
are greatly aided by it.

THE call upon A. F. Hershner to retain
for another three years the responsible
position of school director is fattering
testimonial to that gentleman's past ser
vices in that capacity. The schools are
in splendid condition, and to keep them
change in the personnel of the board so
long as its members display talent for
managing the affairs of the district capa-
bly, and economically. That Mr.. Hersh-
ner has displayed such talent is evinced
by the unanimous expression of public
favor and approval accorded him by the
vote of Monday.

A PROPOSED COLLEGE ARISTOC-
RACY.

The late oratoncal contest at Forest
Grove, between representatives of the
several Oregon institutions of learning,
has engendered considerable bad feeling
The State Agricultural College sent Mr..
A. T. Buxton as its knight of the arena.
The other contestants hardly figured Mr.
Buxton as rival. It was deemed incred-
ible that the "Hayseed'' institution
should have a student of any literary
standing. Mr.. Buxton appeared on the
scene in very poor form, owing to
severe illness. However, sick as he was,
he carried off second honors. This, of
course, created considerable furor among
the other delegations. Immediately
steps were taken to bar this institution
from future contests. The excuse was
given that literary work of the Agricu1-
tural College was not up to the required
standard. Even the little Albany acade-
my, which has couple of teachers, was
very active in favoring the "shut out. %
The Willamette University, of Salem,
which several years ago was the princi-
pal school of Oregon, but which now has
so retrograded that it is scarcely known
outside of its own city, was the moving
spirit in the plot. In fact, outside of the
University of Oregon, the opposition to
the Agricultural College came wholly
from sectarian schools. The probable
cause for the latter taking such step, is
jealousy.
English is the only language taught in
the regular o. A. c. course, but the in
struction in this branch is equal to that
taught in any institution in the state.
Many students take up the other
languages as extras, under competent
and learned professors. In all the prac-
teal sciences the Agricultural College is
far ahead of all other institutions in the
state. OF course, it is eminently
practical school, and its greater reputa-
ton is on that account. But its literary
and theoretical work is far ahead of most
of the so-called universities and colleges
which voted to bar it from future orator
ica1 contests. While the vote prohibiting
the o. A c. from such contests is accepted
by friends of the institution as an in
tended insult, it is more an exhibition of
petty jealousy and narrow-minded mean
ness, on the part of other schools, than
an expression of actual disbelief in the
efficiency of this college in literary mat
ters. Acknowledged champions in any
class of contests are usually barred by
amateurs. The 0. A. c. freely resigns
its right to enter the tournament on this
ground, and on no other. 1t will con-
slider its disbarment as an acknowledge
ment of championship. The address of
Mr.. Buxton, published elsewhere, shows
that such an acknowledgment would be
wise. The other institutions of learning
may form a college aristocracy, a court
clique if they WILL but the o. A. c., for
tunately, does not need such alliances to
maintain its standing as the foremost in
stitution of learning in the state.

ACCORDING to statistics published in
the Bankers Magazine, the business and
financial depression has cost the farmers
more than a hundred millions of dollars
in each year since 1892. The farm value
of the wheat, cotton and corn crops In
1902 was 81, 2S6, 1000, in 1898 $I,1oo,-
100000, and in 1894 $I,I7o.ooo,oo 900. On
these three crops alone the farmer was
1856, 100000 behind in 1893, and SII6,-
10000 behind in 1894.
