eAc TROUBLE.
Dispatches in the Oregonian and
Telegram.

The relief of Lieutenant Dennis
P. Ouinlan, United States Army,
as professor of military science
and tactics at the Agricultural
college is the outgrowth of an
incident in which he and Roy
McCully, cadet, came to blows
in the commandant's Office, about
January 5. Lieutenant Quinlan
has always maintained ths t the
student assaulted him without
provocation, while the latter
alleged the attack was provoked
by insulting language. Accounts
as to the facts by the two or three
eye-witnesses do not agree, and
the question of who is deserving
OF all the blame in the incident
has been mooted one.
The matter was referred to the
discipline committee, and that
body, after taking testimony, re-
ferred the whole matter back to
President Catch, without re-
commendation. The cadet, in
the meantime, had made an
apology, addressed to President
Catch, expressing regret at what
had transpired and promised not to
be party to any similar occur
renee. In the apology he men,
toned Lieutenant Quinlan by
name and promised to obey his
commands hereafter. This apol-
ogy the president accepted and
read publicly in chapel.
Lieutenant Quinlan refused to
accept the apology, and referred
the matter to the War Depart
ment. The department sus-
pended Lieutenant Quinlan from
duty pending an investigation,
and sent out Major Wiser, who
took testimony and made a re-
port. After that the department
wrote President Catch, requesting
that the cadet be directed to make
a written apology to Lieutenant
| IQuiHlan, and also that-the pres
ident reverse his decision as to al
lowing the. cadet to remain in
college and in the cadet regi-
ment, and refer the same to the
faculty for action.
President Catch did not COM
ply with the request of the de-
partment. March 13 he replied,
saying, in effect, that consider
alton for the welfare of the mill
tary department at the college
made it impossible for him to
comply, and that he would be
more explicit in stating his rea-
sons therefor if the War Depart
ment deemed it desirable.
When seen tonight with refer
ence to the matter, both Presi-
dent Catch and Lieutenant Ouin-
lin declared that they had moth
ing to say. ''If a story must be
written about the incident, give
Lieutenant Quinlan the best of it,
and let it go at that" said Presi-
deut Catch with a smile.

following from Washington, D.
c., dated March 90:
Lieutenant Quinlan was de-
tailed for duty at the Agricultural
College as Instructor of tactics
and military affairs, and in that
capacity had charge of military
instruction of all students. He
was required to organize cadet
companies and to drill and dis
cipline the male students accord
ing to Army regulations.
In performance of this duty
Lieutenant Quinlan insisted on
Army discipline and enforced re-
gulations with the same rig;dity
that is observed in the regula,
service, particularly requiring
strict discipline among the cadets.
The civil authorities at the COL
lege, the regular faculty, as it is
understood here, did not uphold
Lieutenant Qninlin in disciplin-
ing cadets who showed disregard
for his Instructions, and their in
reference tended to destroy the
effectiveness of the military in
struction.
Lieutenant Quinlan reported
this fact to the War Department,
showing the futility of attempt
ing military instruction under
such adverse circumstances, and
at his request. he was relieved
from further duty at Corvallis.
Unless the faculty at the Agri-
culture College shows disposi-
tion to uphold the military officer
in the enforcement of discipline
among the cadets the depart
ment is not inclined to send
another officer to succeed Lieu
tenant Quinlan. The department
is averse in making military in
struction at the Agricultural Col
|lege a farce, and that is what il
was becoming at Corvallis, &C.
Icording to information obtainable
here.

Then following an article in the Tele-
gram, said article being from Corvallis

Corvallis is wondering today whether
Oregon Agricultural College is to lose its
cadet corps, as result of the recent diff
ference between the faculty ana Lieut.
enant D. P. Quinlan, who was relieved
from duty yesterday by direction OF
President Roosevelt, as first announced
IN yesterdays Telegram.
President Catch will say nothing about
the affair or the pros pect, but he does
not seem to be seriously alarmed over
the outlook. It is pointed out that drill

So far as known no word has been re-
ceived OF the appointment of successor
to Lieutenant Quinlan.
The difference arose over an affair in
the commandments Office, January s. in
which Roy McCully, cadet struck the
Lieutenant. In a letter to President
Catch the cadet apologized and promised
to obey commands. This letter was read
publicly, but the Lieutenant demanded
an apology to himself. personally The
department, when the matter was refer

Lincoln and Franklin.

There is nothing in human beings
that is quite so interesting to other
human beings as their humanity.
Franklin and Lincoln, as says an ex-
change. were both chock full of human
ity. They both had. for one thing. first
rate bodies. Franklin's powers as a
swimmer will be recalled and Lincoln S
reputation as a wrestler. In their
youth they were both athletes and built
TO endure great tolls. physical and
mental. and to carry heavy responsible
tiles. Each of them began life for
himself with meagre preliminary ed
ucation and no advantages of position
or opportunity.
Both of them had the precious gift
of humor and both of them employed
IL as an aid TO persuasion and TO facili-
tate transactions of momentOus i'm
portance. Both of them were untiring
friends of peace and ready to make ex-
treme concessions to avoid war Both
were men of profound resolution. untir-

RIGHT NOURISHMENT. Z

We think of nouriShment
as food-meats, soups, vege-
tables, ETC., but that's only half.
It's not the food alone that
counts but the good that we
get from food that furnishes
nourishment. A pound of
steak is of less value to a
weak stomach than a crust of
bread is to a strong digestion.
But weak stomachs can be
made strong. Begin by eat
ing less; have regular hours
for meals; avoid fancy things
and about a half hour after
eating take a tablespoonful of
SCOTS Emulsion. It's a fact
of medical history that people
have lived on not much else
but SCOTS Emulsion for a
long time-not only lived but
gained flesh and recovered
their strength and health.
From the pure Norwegian
cod liver oil to the last drop
of glyCerine, SCOTS Emulsion
contains just the strength
giving and health-building
elements needed for low vital
ity, weak digestion and poorly
nourished bodies.

turn from the tour of the world a 20
tent political force, and one to be reck
oned with in the presidential election
OF 1908, is a fact which the other lead
ers of the democratic party do not
seem fully to realize. His absence
from the country has caused his name
to drop from the news, until his APP
pearance in the Philippines brought
him again to mind. and in a very sug-
gestive way. From the meager cable
grams it appears, first. that he is max
ing a very careful study of world poll
tics aId conditions. and. second, that
he is conducting himself in a manner
TO avoid even carping criticism. If
any opponent of Mr.. Bryan has been
asked to define in advance the line of

the probability is that he would have
been credited with design 10 I'M

the natives upon his favorite themes
OF freedom and independence" But
Mr.. Bryan gave his enemies no excuse
for saying that he was preaching "se-
dition,' or setting OFF oratorical fire
works in the vicinity of powder mag
| azine. On the contrary, he gave TO his
Filipino hearers historical sketch of
the two parties in this country. and ad-
vised them TO respect ''the powers that
bee and continue to seek education
and industrial improvement.
When Mr.. Bryan comes to discuss
the Philippine problem at home it will
no doubt be found that he has not

than he had before his departure.
1t must be remembered that Mr.. Bry-
an is quite as much "a sublime oppor-
tunist'' as is Theodore Roosevelt. When
he took up the silver question there is
reason for believing that it was not so
much that he was crazy" on this sub
ject as that he thought he saw in it an
issue with which to split the republi-
can party and win the presidency. 1t
was more a political miscalculation
than Il fanatical crusade. His fatal
obSi macy is sticking to the cheap dol
lar in 1900 was perhaps more due to
pride of opinion than TO any faith in
the discredited nostrum. So much
credit is due to his intelligence-and
as for his obstinacy, was he any more
set than Mr.. Cleveland was, or than
Mr. Roosevelt is?
Upon the reasonable assumption that
the word tour has taken some OF the
radical Bourbonism out of Mr.. Bryan
that he has learned something and
forgotten much-he will have an influ-
ence in the next presidential contest
that neither party can afford 10 ignore.

no other democrat has yet revealed.

Welt has been and is intoxicating by
word and example certain principles
and policies of radicalism that leader
like Mr.. Bryan can utilize to his own
advantage against the conservative re-
publican candidate for president. The
issues which Mr. Roosevelt is shaping
will furnish campaign material ready
made TO Mr.. Bryan's hand. If he does
not better the instruction" it will be
because he has lost his adroitness.

may not seek nor get the nomination
for president himself. but his course
since the election of 1904, coupled

services. His stepfathor was connected

Neither Scotland Yard nor the Dean
Of Westminster has any recollection OF
any such application as Ross being made.
