THE CAUSE OF BETTER TINES

While the state of Washington,
says the Walla Walla Statesmen, un-
der fusion administration, is enjoy
ing season of prosperity, there are
other states in this union that are very
much depressed. Look at Pennsyl-
vania. with her strikes, That is Nc
Kinley prosperity. Evon Oregon was
not blessed with as large a wheat crop
as her neighbor Washington. Apply
ing arguments Of good republicans this
must surely be attributable to the
state administration. Several mouth
pieces of the national administration
gave Mckinley all the credit for the
abundant wheat crop. Away with all
such nonsense and give the credit
where it is due. The districts especi-
ally enjoying better times are in the
west, and this condition is directly at
tributable to one of the largest wheat
crops we have ever had. The strikes
and general discomfort in eastern mar
ufacturing states would not Indicate
that the Mckinley prosperity boom
has struck them very hard.

HE SHOULD RESIGN.

1t now seems to be an assured fact
that Prof. Chapman will notresign the
presidency of the state university, he
having telegraphed his intention to
return to Eugene before the date fixed
for the opening of the school. Having
been reelected president of the uni
versity, it is a matter of choice with
Prot. Chapman whelher he retains the
position or not, yet it would seem that
better judgement would have dictated
that he resign. Whether in the right
or wrong, the opposition that has been
raised to his being retained at the
head of the school cannot be overcome.
The efficiency of the institution cannot
hut be affected so long as one who has
incurred the disp'easure of large
number of the students and a consider
able portion of the citizens of the city
in which the university is located.
For the university to be a perfect
success as the leading educational in.
stitution of the state, perfect harmony
must exist between the faculty, the
board of regents, the students and the
citizens of Eugene. This can never ex-
ist with Prof. Chapman as president.
So long as he is president of the uni
versity there viii be discord and dis
sention. It is lamentable fact that
one mans mbition to be vindicated
or to retain control of an institution
where at least a. respectable minority
of it's patrons does not want him,
should hold on to the position, for he
can neither do himself nor the school
ju stice. 1t would certainly be the
best for the school and for Prof. Chap
man also if he would resign. He may |
be blameless of all charges made |
against him, but this will not remove I
the adverse feeling that exists, for
however blameless he may be, those
who desire his removal viii never
cease their clamor so long as he is re-
tanned at the head of the school.

work characterized the last days ses
sion of the American bankers at their
convention. The question, "What
Legislation is Needed in Respect to
the Currency" was discussed in an in.
teresting manner by Mr.. N. B. Van.
slyke, president OF the First National
bank, of Madison, Wis. The speaker
suggested as the first important step a
currency reform by evolution, the re-
tirement of greenbacks and treasury
notes, a floating debt and a practical
business method of funding this debt
into per cent government bonds.i
Such 3 per cent bonds, if payable In
so years, said VaDslyke, and irredeem-
able before, would take up the present
bonds as they mature, and if, by per-
mitting the banks to issue their ci"cI-
latiDg notes upon par Of such 3 per
cent bonds in the same proportion
only as the governments circulating
notes might be redeemed and then for
ever retired, it would keep the volume
of all the currency undisturbed by a
gradual decrease of one class and a
corresponding increase of the other
until entirely doing away with the gov
ernment's banking business and plac-
ing it with the banks, where it legiti-
mately belongs.

A st. Louis Engraver Has Discovered ths
Process
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19.-Since Profess
sor Vogel. of Berlin, suggested that it
was possible to produce color with a
camera, photographers and chemists
have sought TO find a successful pro,
cess. Albert Schneider, of the
Western Engraving Company, of this
city, has achieved this. He can re-
produce any object in It's natural
colors. The main secret of the pro-
cess is the extraction of the. three
primary colors, yellow red and blue.
A novelty of the work is that the OBJ
iect is photographed at right angles,
or practically around the corner. This
is made possible by the use of a prism
before the camera. Behind the prism
is a color filter. This isa small, fat
tank of glass. This filter is filed with
a chemically pure solution to exclude
all bnt the color desired to be extract
ed from the object. A green liquid is
used when red is to be photographed;
a blue solution when yellow is wanted,
and a red mixture is put in the filter
when the third basic color, blue, is to
be reproduced. Back of the filter is
