ssThe Practice OF Lynchinx.''
Mr.. John Whitaker, OF Portland uni
versity, spoke next on THE Practice OF
Lynehing.- He deplored the general spir-
It OF iawlessness OF which iyuchinS has
been the outgrowth. and maintained that
while there might be come paiiiation for
IL IN newly settled or frontier countries,
there could be none In the present adj
vanced condition OF the United States
He was especially severe In conaemning
the lynching of negroes in the South. to
which source he ascribed the spread Of
lynching into other parts Of the country.
MIR. ). J. Cutler.
The last speaker In the contest was Mr.
g. s. Cutler. Of Puget Sound university,
who presented q plea for American inter-
ference in the Turkish outrages in Ar
menia- He drew graphic and pathetic
picture OF the sad butcheries that have
occurred in Armenia, and thought that
united Christendom should enter an en-
phatic and forcible protest.
At the close OF the orations, the three
judges. who had occupied . front seat
In the gallery near the center Of the hall.
withdrew to the presidents ONCE to make
up their decision The committee con-
sisted Of Gov. J. H. AcGraw. Judge c. H.
Hanford and Rev. Hugh Gilchrist. and
DIR. Harrington congratulated the speak
ers and the university on having secured
such an able and impartial board Of
award While the judges were deliberat-
ing the Euterpean Quartette sang several
enjoyable selections, and the audience APP
peared to think each new song better
than those that had gone before. though
perhaps the sneezing song afforded more
entertainment than any other.
The Award.
The climax of TIC morning came when
Judge Hanford as chairman OF the COM
mittee Of award assembled the rostrum.
and after briefly stating that the decision
had been a difficult one, where each
speaker had shown so much merit, re-
neyed the suspense of the audience by an
nouncing that the first prize of 500 had
been awarded to Mr.. Templeton. and the
second. morocco bound album of uni
yersity views. to Miss Linville. As Mr.
Templefon came forward TO receive the
trophy of his oratory. Judge Hanford.
balancing the coin in his hand, said.
We feel that the sentiments expressed
by Mr.. Tempieton are as pure as gold,
and the earnest manner in which he de-
lvered them is proof to US that in his
heart and in the heart of the American
people these sentiments are sincerely
cherished"
When Mr.. Templeton and Miss Linvilie
had gracefully bowed in appreciation of
the prizes which the chairman handed
them. President Harrington suggested
tnat the exercise close with the univer-
sity yell. and the suggestion promptly
brought the students to their feet with
shout which made the building resound
with the familiar cry.
The Winners.
Mr.. II. s. Templeton, who won the first
prize. may almost be reckoned a Seattle
man. although he was born in Halsey,
Or. His mother is a daughter OF Ezra
Meeker, and he Is related TO Eben Osborne
and Mrs. DIR. Churchill, of this city. He
is now % years old, and his splendid ply
sique is a good tribute to the hygienic
qualities of farm life combined with coll
Iege athletics. For ne was brought up on
his fathers farm, and attended the neigh
borhood school until he was Is. at which
age he entered the University OF Oregon,
selecting the six years classical course.
which will lead him next month to an A.
B. degree. His Intellectual prowess Is
sufficiently attested by the fact that he

which numbers twenty.
During his college life he has taken an
active part in athletics. Last year he held
the Oregon college record for throwing
the hammer. and this year he has beaten
his own record. and holds the u. of o. rec
ord for both throwing the hammer and
putting the shot. In addition to this he
is captain of the university football team
which holds the Oregon championship
Thus holding the highest scholastic hon.
or. the leadership In physical sports. and
the prize for oratory, Mr.. Tempieton pre-
serts a singularly well-roun6ed comblca-
ton. He looks forward to stili more adj
yanced educa ton. and expects TO con-
time his studies either in the East or
matured his plans.
