He was riding frem the college to town
last Thursday and "took a header" aud
struck on his right temple, right should

side were paralyzed for q time and be did
not give the least sign OF returning con-
sciousness Tor twenty eight hours. About
sixty hours after the accident he spoke a
few words. The doctors have done the
right thing and all changes are for the
better.
Prof. Morton's constitution il not al.

that against them. A relapse is the

Paul Price, sixteen year old boy re.
siding in the eastern part of the city,
boarded the train from Corvallis this
morning on the bridge and rode to 4ta
street where he attempted to jump off,
but his foot caught in the step, and he
was dragged with his head down for q
couple blocks when the train stopped at
the usual place before passing the S. P.
crossing. He was picked up in an in
sensible condition and taken to his home
and DR.. Davis sent for. There is par

thought to be not so serious but what he

The Giant Is Awake.

Representative Hepburn of Iowa, one
of the leaders of congress, says his
constituents have not yet made up
their minds concerning the proper dis
position of the Philippines; they await
accurate information; but they have
fully determined that the country needs
a larger regular army and a larger
navy. Says he:
81 have attended some very large meet
ings recently. and have been impressed
with the public idea regarding the result
of the war as it will affect us at home
/ have been impressed with the almost
universal demand for an increased navy.
composed of the very finest and swift
est battleships and cruisers that our
shipyards cans produce. j have been
charged time and again to come 10
Washington ard use whatever influence
l may have in building up the navy and
in increasing our standing army. The
demand of my people is that we MAIN
tain an army of not less than 100, 900 men,
we must not he caught mapping again.
they say. Another thing that my people
urge is the building up of our merchant
marine service. With the expansion of
our commerce, they demand that we do
our own carrying trade"
lhlS expression undoubtedly senses
the best and most prevalent public
opinion. The people of Iowa compare
in intelligence and hard -headedness
with those OF any other state in the
union. They have fewer illiterates
than any other populeus state. They
are a community of newspaper and
book readers; they are given to care
full discussion of public questions; their
standards of public and especially po-
litical morals are high, their represen.
tation in congress being the best, take
it all through, of any state in this
union save possibly Maine; they have
no sea coasts to defend and are not
likely to be affected directly by hos.
tile invasiOn-in other words, they
typify the class of American citizens
who in a peculiar sense form the re-
public's back bone. SO when they de-
clare for a larger navy and a larger
army it is fair to believe that the dec.
laration represents a deliberate and
representative decision and is not al
ephemeral caprice generated by war
time excitement.
The simple fact is that the American
consciousness of power and duty is ex
panding, very much more rapidly thar
is our territorial area. The American
giant has been aroused from hi
slumbers.

A Neminiscence of Piracy.

II is to be hoped that when congress
next takes up the subject of naval re-
form it will enact a law abolishing
prize money The custom of turning
over to officers and men for distribu-
tiOn in proportion to rank one half the
money received from the sale of
enemy's ships captured in war is a sur
vivial of pirate times and it might well
be abandoned. 1t would be quite as
logical to give the soldiers of an in
vading army one-half of the sale price
of captured real estate. If soldiers do
their duty without the stimulus of
booty sailors ought to and would. If
they are not paid enough at present
pay them more but let it come to them
regularly and honorably and not
through the lottery of prize taking.
The prize money system of reward
is most unfair. OF the $15,000,000 set
apart by the government as prize
money since the year 1900 the common
sailors have received on an average
only $75 apiece, while Admiral Farragut
during the civil war got S14O,sS5 and
Admiral Porter, $13s,OO0. 1t will hardly
be contended by anybody that such a
discrepancy in rewards is fair. The
figures of SIMPSONS prize money
gains have not been made public as
yet but he will probably receive not
less than s50,0O0 over and above his
pay as acting rear admiral, although
his captains and Commodore Schley, as
even his friends admit. did most of the
work. Because SIMPSONS men hap
pened to be assigned to duty in q
much-traveled sea they get hundreds
of dollars in prize money whereas
Deweys men, just as capable and de-
voted, get nothing more than theil
share of the prize value of Montojo's
fleet.
Let us pay our sailor men, from low
est to highest. all that their services
are worth and honor them highly when
ever they do heroic work. But let us
wipe out this inequitable reminiscenct
of piracy.

A National Tribute to Rutfians.

The action of the French government
in awarding. decorations of honor
to the survivors of the crew of
the French line steamship La Bour-
gogne has filled with just indignation
the friends of the unfortunate passen-
gers that went down with that ship. 1t
is a cruel and callous insult to the liv-
ing and a revolving indignity to the
memory of the dead, even to the dead
officers who calmly perished rather
than save their lives in company with
the crew of dastards whom they COM
manded. While not one of the officers
of La Bourgogne was saved except the
purser who is not in reality a mariner
at all, only ten per cent of the passen-
gers were rescued, and among them
only one woman. while eighty per cent

the ships company have returned to
their native land. to be honored as
heroes by their country's representa-
tives.
II the crew of La Bourgogne had act
ed as bravely as the overwhelming evil
dence of the survivors show that they
did not act, they would still have
had no claim on the recognition of
their government. Whatever wis
dom lies in the policy, it Is one
acted upon by our own and European
governments Except in France, where
cowardice brings it's own reward that
no official recognition shall he ten
| dered to seamen by their own govern

seas, which are regarded simply as acts
| of duty. But President Faure has taken
these men to the Elysee as distn-
guished guests; in the name of France
| they are presented with one or another
of the orders of merit which the French
republic Is supposed to have reserved
for her most distinguished sons in art,
literature, or science, No wonder that

ribbons of the Legion of Honor from
their breasts, and fiinging them In the

Something to Be Proud Of.

II is a curious fact that although the
University of Pennsylvania is, in re-
spect to its income. peculiarly a state
institution, in which those who put
their dollars would naturally be eX-
pected also TO educate their children,
the tendency in this section has been
to pstronize more distant institutions
like Har.Ard or Yale. We believe the
time is coming when this preference
will be reversed. II is certain 10 be If
the University of Pennsylvania shall
continue, as there is every reason to
expect that 1t will, 10 infIse into it's
educational work a degree Of thor
oughness which sustains the closest
competition with the work of the older
universities.
AS a matter OF state pride no less
than as a matter of justice we are
pleased to call attention TO a significant
development disclosed in an analysis
of recent examinations before the state
board Of medical examiners. The grad
ings of this board are made in ignor-

among Sl6 graduates OF various medi-
cal schools examined under the boards
