The Democrats in New England.

President Troupe, of the New
England Democratic Progressive
League, at New Haven, Connect
cut, is getting busy and has issued
a call for officers and members of
the league to meet in Boston Aug
ust IA, to consider the situation and
devise ways and means for active
work in that section. In the call
President Troup said:
There should be active work all
through New England, and it should
commence at once.
Chairman Hitchcock, of the Re
publican National Committee. has
stated that New England was all
right for the Republican ticket;
that ii did not need any attention;
that work would be centered in the
West and Middle West. 1t is our
intention to make Mr.. Hitchcock
divide his work between the East
and west instead of permitting him
TO concentrate his efforts in the
West. We intend to show him
that New England is a good field
for the Democrats. Arrangements
are being made to bring into New
England Democratic speakers of
national prominence, and from the
middle TO the end of August these
speakers will canvass Vermont from
end to end i'm order TO reduce TO a
minimum the Republican majority
at the State election there. We
are not so bold as to claim the
State Democratic, but we are going
TO get to the polls every Democratic
and every independent voter who |
believes in the principles of Domo- !

ical, the social and the religious atmo-
sphere of this whole, northwest region,
have united behind the project of
founding in this Pacific northwest a
great educational institution, which
should not be in opposition to state
institutions of this territory. but which
should develop the. greatest and best
manhood for the north Pacific coast.
THE question next arises, is Whit
man college properly organized to be-
come this representative institution of
the northwest? Let me call your at
tention to it's charter and constitution
Its charter contains these clauses: A
college for both sexes, for the teaching
of literature, science and art 1t is a
nom sectarian, though Christian, and il
is hoped to always maintain it as a
Christian institution. by the fact that
the president and a majority of the
board of trustees must be members OF
Christian churches. Under the con-
stitution the president is given the
nomination of the faculty, who are APP
pointed by the board of trustees. Sc
much for the internal organization OF
the institution which stamps the in
stitutiOn at once as organized upon a
basis which will ever cause it to re-
main Christian. AS to the board 0f
overseers the constitution of the col
lege creates board of Overseers OF
sixty four members, of whom the
trustees are members eX-officio. These
overseers are chosen from the citizens
of the three states, Washington, Ore
gOn, and Idaho, with the aim of Civ
ing these three states a representa-
ton upon the board of control OF
Whitman college in order that the in
stitution's work, its educational and
financial policy may be guided along
those lines which these representa-
tive citizens feel are necessary for the
development of this great common
wealth. The institution is therefore
organized upon a basis such that ii
may meet the economic, the POLITICAL
the social and the religious needs of
the Pacific northwest, of the territory
of old Oregon. This is what it
aims to be and more. The type of
education which this institution Seeks
ton of the institution. It's aims to be
the best. AS the organization of the
institution is in the hands of men who
are the most excellent in their profess
SiOnS, 50 the education which this in
stitution shall give, must be such as
to satisfy the ideals of these men, 1t
must be an institution strong enough
that it will influence in some meas
ure the educational policy of the Pa
cific northwest. 1T must be
an institution excellent enough
in it's work and life that it may
attract the sons and daughters of
our best citizens, the young men who
are most ambitious, and the young
men who are most braify. In fact,
an institution which shall act as a
leader among the educational institu-
tions of the west, seeking to give only
the finest of education in the most
ideal Christian atmosphere, laying
stress largely upon excellence of cul-
ture and fineness Of character in the
product which it shall produce"

izenship and to greater profit to the
commonwealth. Theoretically, there
fore, the state has the function of sup
plving the education for the general
needs of the public. Practically, there
is need for both types of education,
and we ask the question: Why? Sew
eral reasons could be given, but
suggest a few at this time, and Will
leave it to President NorthrOp in his
general address to elucidate the several
reasons why two forms Of education
are advisable Remember this fact IN
regard to this important question: AL
most all Of these states natural re-
sources, whether of forest or mine or
hydraulic power, are owned by private
individuals or corporations, not by the
state. Is it not right to expect that an
education which will directly benefit
large private holdings and the hold
ings Of large corporations, should be
furnished very largely by the individ-
uals who own and who will profit by
the development of these natural re-
sources? Why should the state sup
ply foresters when the forests are
either national or private in their own
erShip? Similar questions should be
asked of other great natural resources.
There are reasons why Whitman
college should be chosen as the great
private institution of the Pacific north
west
First and foremost, because the OBJ
ject of philanthropy in the United
States has always been to further ed
ucation which is managed and con-
trolled by private citizens who are
devoting their lives, more or less as a
sacrifice to the cause of education in
a community. No institution has a
stronger appeal on this ground than
Whitman college.
Again. the private institution is al
ways founded upon some tradition.
State institutions cannot look back
The private institution when estab-
lished has its traditions. and you all
know the strong value of the great ira
dition which surrounds the great hero
in whose memory Whitman college was
founded. 1t is a fell known fact
among educators that an institution
continues as it is started. Give it a
start on the basis of sacrifice and it
will continue ever in those lines. Give
it a tradition of strong Christian life,
of dedication to high ideals and high
TINS, and these things will do more
to control the students, who will soon
form Il love for those traditions than
all the regulations which we'll mean
ing faculty could establish. Whitman
college adds to this the spirit of the
democratic past. 1t has always been
the friend of the poor boy and the
poor girl. - That spirit w hope will
ever continue, and the traditions of this
college grow into the Greater Whit
man.
There is another reason why Whit
man college should become the repre-
sentative institution of the Pacific
nortEwest-a reason which is founded
upon the fact sat the gree. business
men whose ideas are accepted, whose
word controls the economic, the DOlit-
