Or. Mac Lean Translates for Maverick

Before his coming t. this state
Rev. DR.. MacLesn, now OF the
Episcopal church of this city, con-
tributed translation OF selections
from the history of Rome by Eu-
tropius, a Roman historian OF the
4th century, which 'proevd OF such
interest to students OF history that
we 1.-THE publishers Of the Corvallis
Gazette) have asked Rev. Mac Lean
to take up series Of articles on
Homer. This he has kindly con-
scented to do. ~ How Dr. MacLean S
translation Of Homer was received
the following. inter ALA, taken
from an appreciative exchange will
show.
"As a leader in Greek litera-
ture, the Corvallis Gazette is MAX
ing a reputation A new trsnsla-
ton of Homer 'sITliad is now rum
ming sreially IN that journal How
fitting il is that the home of the
Oregon Agricultural College should
have one newspaper that rs patron
of literature and the fine arts. =
Oregon City Enterprise.
Or. MacLean is about TO begin
in the columns of the Maverick the
publication OF his translator OF Homre
where he left off before coming to
Mountain Home, and the Maverick
hopes he wiil meet with the same
appreciation here as in the home of
the Oregon Agricultural college.
True, there is no colleg in Noun
tain Home. but there are men and
women of such superior iutelli-
gence as can, if they will, appre-
ciate a fitsul trnaslaiton OF the
worlds greatest natural epic.

Successful Cry Farming.

Dry farming in the arid west is
year. There are a quarter million
of acres tributary 10 American Falls
which will be cultivated some day,
and with the start that is being
made that day is probably rot far
distant. The excellent results
achieved are making dry farming
attractive to even old irrigators.
The follow ing frons the Idaho Falls
Register attests the large yields
from dry lands:
Dry farming has been carried on
in limited way near Poplar for
several years and the results show
forty bushels of wheat to the acre
and very little if any damage from
the bench land most all winter, and
even if it doesn't open weather, as
far as the experiments have shown,
does 10 damage to fall wheat.
Spring wheat has always been the
rule in the valley. Last year. how
ever, several hundfe ed acres CT IAN
wheat were planted in various parts
Of the country and ii came through
the winter in excellent condition.
Last winter was remarkable for
its absence, of snow. The fell
wheat in most cases is now over
knee high ana many claim that it
will produce a greater yield thsn
the spring wheat, and 1t is more
than likely that fall wheat Will
eventually supplaut spring wheat,
even in the valley.
A great deal Of interest has been
aroused recently as regards dry
farming, and we lock for a SIAM
pede in that direction before the
year closes.

THE BLACK SPOT ON AMER
ICAN CIVILIZATION

How about American civiiiza-
ton
Do not let US be pessimistic; nor
yet too optimistic to see our faults
Sometimes we have exalted notions
and proclaim that ours is the
great civilized nation Of the world.
Yet we have faults.
One of them is located at Will
mington Del.
There, one hours ride from the
seat of our national government, the
other day nine men were stripped
to the waist, manaoled to a post
and whipped for their poor mis-
takes.
How is that for civilization
Nine prisoners each received from
a cat-o'-nine tails, in the hands of
the prison warden, from five to 40
lashes.
Adam Ward, a 1o-year old boy,
accused of highway robbery, suf-
fered 40 lashes, which, being null
tiplied by the nine tails of the cat,
meant that his cringing, aching
flesh ewas cut no less than 800
times.
How is that for civilization
The boy pleaded piteously for
mercy, crying in his anguish:
''God, God have mercy upon me.
Oh, please don't hurt me so. I'll
be good. God, God, please,
please"
There was no mercy. The tor
ture went TO the full sentence OF
the court Blood streamed down
the boys bach. His flesh was as
if cut 100 times with knife.
How's that for civilization
After the whippings the manned
prisoners were led hack to the pris-
on shop, where, with WOODEN shirts
drawn over their smarting backs,
they were compelled to sit at sew
ing machines and manufacture
shoddy pants in competition with
the trade of honest tailors.
Delaware has been whipping its
unfortunate and mistaken criminals
since time out of memory, so this
is nothing new there. Delaware
will continue the practice, for there
is no agitation to turn to the more
modern and humane penal systems
Of the more progressive states.
We can't even shame Delaware.
She is satisfied and her citizens
attend these brutal demonstrations
and make a sort of holiday of them.
They rank next to the annual
circus.
When we ATE discussing the pro-
gress of civilization in this nation
let us not fail to consider Delaware.
Let us refer TO that state as the
last member of the sisterhood. Let
US, as Americans, be ashamed be-
cause the drawing Of human blood
in punishment of crimes, at least
against property, takes place under
the law and under our flag.
How is this for civilization, any
how

FIGHTING FOR FOOTB1LL.
important Meeting at Columbia To
mOrrO7c-The Track Squad.

Further steps. that are expected TO result in
the restoration Of football at Columbia. were
taken yesterday when the student committee
made arrangements with the university commit
tee on athletics for joint meeting of the two
bodies The meeting. which viii be held to-mor-
row evening. is expected 10 result I'm recon-
mendation from the committee on athletics that
football be again permitted at the university.
The university committee on athletics IS made
up of Francis s. Bangs. Professor Herbert q.
Lord Robert lie Roy, George Morris and W. G.
Palmer. and it has practically complete control
Of the athletic situation. Any recommendations
that IL may make are likely to meet with favor
with the committee on student organization
and the university council.
At the meeting tomorrow some forty men
who have expressed a desire 10 play foot ball at
the university will appear 10 present their side
OF the case. Those who are working for the
game believe that they will be ultimately sue
cessfuL They have gone ahead only after re-
ceiving some assurances that their work is being
looked on favOrably by those in authority
Whether the permission to play can be OBJ
tanned in time 10 arrange a schedule for next
IAN depends largely on how quickly the various
bodies act As some of the colleges have already
announced their schedules for next season. and
most Of them have COMPLETED their plans for
games, II is not likely that a particularly at
tractive schedule could be arranged.
The inclement weather Of the past few DAYS
has seriously interfered with the Columbia track
squad. which began work last week. when one
hundred and twenty candidates reported TO
Josh Crooks. The preliminary work has con-
sisted Of slow runs for all the candidates. while
the spTinters have devoted their attention 10

many as possible to come out the university
championships, which have always been held In
the spring, have been done away with and i'm

other innovation in track work at Columbia will
be an inteTschOlastic meet TO be held on South
