'THE COUNTY CHAIRMAN"
Popular George Adc Drama Drew
large Crowd Last Evening.

"The County Chairman" the most
popular and the most American OF
any OF the plays written by George
AIDE was the attraction last evening
at the Grand opera house. II drew
one of the biggest audiences of the
season and 1t was perhaps the most
representative Salem audience that
has been in the opera house this
year. II was composed altogether
OF people who went to see the play
and enjoy themselves.
This delightful comedy has been
west at least once during the last
few years but until last evening pass
ed Salem by. Mr.. Meredith was for
tunate In securing Il this time. II
was especially suitable during the
legislature season while the air Is
rendolent OF politics and the play has
more or less politics In IL.
AS Is very well understood the
play does not carry the original cast
this season but the people selected
to play the leading parts were well
cast and are actors and actresses
OF more than mediocre ability. Dur
ing this tour OF the Pacific northwest
the company succeeded In pleasing
everybody except the dramatic critic
OF the Portland oregonian, who by
the way is understood to be an In
dianian himself and perhaps may
feel a little local Jealousy on account
of the growing popularity OF the
playwright, now that Ade is being
heard from outside Of his own town
ship.
Nearly the entire membership OF
the Oregon legislature was In the
audience last evening and each and
every one OF the solons enjoyed the
play. This was marked on the part
OF the older men as the scenes. ex-
pressions. slang and music OF the
late '70s and early sos appealed
strongly 10 them.
Salem is getting better. IL VIII
patronize a good show and II will do
Il two nights In succession as was
the case this week.

The Guard is at loss to under
stand why Governor George Cham
berlain has so suddenly discovered
that he is not in favor of higher edu-
cation. He is himself university
man and has always given out the
impression that he would in every
possible manner encourage the build
ing up of an institution here that
would be a credit to the state and
meet its growing needs in every re-
spect, and yet he has blocked the first
earnest effort to place the university
on a proper footing and makes the
Improvements necessary to take care
of the increasing enrolment.
We cannot believe that the govern
or is playing politics with the state
university and that HIS veto is mere
ly a gallery play to appeal to those
voters whose stlnginess exceeds their
love for education advantages and
pride in the highest ideals of stats
development and character.
And yet this veto act has that APP
pearance on its face.

The state university has been given
only meager support since its foun-
dation when compared with similar
institutions of other states. Its build
ings are cheap and inadequate, and
its comparatively high standing has
been gained, under adverse circum-
stances, solely on account of thor
ough, conscientious work by its fac
ulty. despite their under pay and
lack of encouragement. This con-
ditlon can exist no longer. because
the increased population OF Oregon
has brought a larger enrolment In
all departments, and created also n
demand for new departments. that

in the heavily endowed university
of another state.

OF course the Salem Journal and
the Salem state senator, Tom Kay,
oppose this appropriation. They want
to save the money of the taxpayers
so that most of II may biennially
be spent on the state institutions of
the capital city. The bill for appro-
priating $4,000 for enlarging the
capitol grounds and buying a man
sion for the governor is approved,
of course, and so is every one of the
other gratis" that have been from
time immemorial worked through
the legislature with clock-like regu-
larity. But the Journal and Tom
Kay are shocked when a dollar is
wasted" on education--minds of
such men usually are, because all
the education in the world concen-
trated upon them would fail TO raise
them up to the normal calibre.

The people of Eugene are not in
terested in the university merely as
a local institution; they are not ad-
vocating large appropriations in or
der to boom real estate values or
build up business interests here on
state appropriations. Their love for
the university Is honest and sincere.
because close association with its
membership and thorough knowledge
of the splendid work 1t has done
through years of honest, conscien-
tious effort has bred almost n rever-
ence for the institution that has sent
so many students out into the world
to become useful. and in many in
stances, distinguished citizens OF the
state. It's work in the past speaks
for itself In every walk and calling
OF Oregon's public and private life
II is that more of this work may be
done that recognition is asked OF the

IN OLD RESIDENCE

CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 17.-Erie
railroad bonds, valued at $116,740.16, and
sS75 in gold coins were today found in
box taken from a walled-in fireplace
in an old house that was being torn
down. The building was for half a cen
tury occupied by George c. Moran, a
recluse, vino, at ninety-one years Of
age, disappeared in 1874. Bones found
concealed in the house indicate that he
was murdered by some one who knew
of his hoard. but who failed to find it.

the par value is $4,000. Accrued interest,
1t Is believed. viii bring the value to the
