Head of Brown University Tells
Berkeley Students the Country
Is Proceeding Toward
Socialism
BY Associated Press.

BERKELEY, March 2S.-Dr. Will
ham II. r. Faunce of Brown univer-
sitt delivered the charter day address
before an audience of 5000 persons In
the Greek theater at the University
OF California this afternoon, the oc-
casion being the fortieth anniversary
of the founding of the college.
He took for his theme "lndividuallsm
and Social Progress" and said larger
social consciousness tempering extreme
and rampant individualism is all that
will save the nation from Socialism.
He traced evolution in industry in
America that has resulted in a cease
less scramble for wealth that has often
been crowned with shining success,
but attended with the surrender OF
things that wealth cannot buy. The
pirates of high finance he hayed in this
language:
THE man who uses a university
eorcation in order to enrich hlmseH
ar the expense of others, in order TO
cir cumvent the law and outwit the
government, is disgrace to his uni
Versity and an enemy of the people.
TO do under forms of law the deeds
that once were done under the pirate
flag does not alter their moral quality
one iota TO rob the poor IMAM by
circulation of false reports is not so
picturesque, not so courageous and not
so manly as to rob him with sandbag
on a dark night.
"These things can be stopped only
by large measures of social control.
Society must step in and assume
measure of control which a hundred
Years ago would have been perilous to
liberty. but which is now essential to
the preservation of liberty. Society
must have large voice in education and
in industry, not because the individual
has failed. but because we want to
preserve for the individual those
powers and opportunities which are
the guarantees of social progress.
ITO save the world from Socialism
we must attain such mutual UNDER
standing and sympathy and social CO.
operation as shall preserve private in
itiative from the forces that would
throttle it, The only escape from So
cialism. founded on despair of the in
dividual is in such social coherency
and cooperation as shall save the in

WAR.

Where the world might be peace
ful and harmonious and united. is it
not really disgusting at times to think
Of the enormous treasure wasted in
war and war preparations?
What lingering relic Of barbarism
in the human breast causes men to
gloat over and exult over the world
voyage Of the Atlantic squadron as it
circles the western hemisphere to
make warlike demonstration? Think
Of the millions that will be spent in
this useless and empty luxury, this
mere boy-play exploit.
How many acres of arid land would
the cost of this war fleet voyage have
reclaimed? How many harbors would
It have deepened. how many shallow
rivers made navigable?
And how will humanity gain by its
coming? What good will come from
Haunting the fleet in the face Of the
Japanese? Is there not enough in
telligence in American craftsmanship
to avoid war. to maintain harmopious
relations with the world?
What does Clark's worid-beating
voyage with the Oregon amount to
today? What do we care for Hob
sons needless daredevil exploit in
Santiago harbor? What good did 1t
do for the world? What forward
step in human progress came of it?
The Drawn and blood of the toiling
millions are yielding up their best
treasure to pay needless war and ma
val expenses; the flower of the ma
ton is kept in idleness and sloth,
waiting and drilling for scientific
murder.
Really is it not disgusting. when
you stop gloating over warlike dem
onstrations 10 get at the bottom of
the subject and think seriously?

On dune and headland sinks the fire;

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

Laugh and the world laughs with
you,
Weep and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow
is mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing and the hills will answer,
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you.
Grieve and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your
pleasure.
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many
Be sad and you lose them all;
There is none to decline your nectar'd
wine,
But alone you must drink life's
gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give, and it helps you to
live.
But no man can help you die!
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For large and lordly train.
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

GOOD COUNTRY TOWNS.

No other eastern oregon county
claims so many excellent country
towns as Umatilla county. Take the
list Of small towns in Umatilla coun-
ty and think about them and try to
find another such a list anywhere in
eastern oregon, and you will be
amazed at the excellence of our pos
sessions.
Milton and Freewater, although
standing side by side are both enjoy
ing excellent growth and property
values are constantly increasing; Wes-
ton and Athena although but short
distance apart are both good country
towns and are making substantial
progress; Pilot Rock is growing and
property values are advancing there;
Helix is a most substantial and ex-
oellent country town; Echo, Hermls-
ton and Umatilla in the heart of The
irrigated belt are all first class
country towns and are adding sub
stantial improvements and gaining in
substantial population every month.
Umatilla county is really proud of
these places. They have good foun-
dations and every years record shows
progress in every feature of their
community life.

WHEN PACATEILO MAMA
LOOSED.

]. w. Redington, formerly of Hepp-
ner, writes the following entertaining
indian story for the January number
of Sunset Magazine:
In many parts of the Pacific states
you find warm springs, hot springs,
sulphur springs, all sorts of springs
that have been improved by making
pleasant their surroundings. Great
resorts many of them have become,
and widely heralded is their reputa-
ton for curing cramps, COLES, rheu-
matism and all diseases the nerves
are heir to.
At some of these springs, which
railroads have now made very acces-
sible, you find the man who claims
to have been the originator of the
idea of using such springs for medi-
clnal purposes. His claim gives him
consolation in his declining days, but
his hot talk collides with the facts
of history
over in interior Idaho the railroad
traveller has several minutes to OBJ
serve the stirring railroad town of
Po-ca-tel-lo. 1t is a lively place.
has several thousand people now.
The traveller wonders where it ever
found such a name. That was the
name of a famous chief of the Ban
mock Indians. and he had his camp
near by the present city's site. He
also had hot spring up in the Ban
mock mountains, and was really the
pioneer in charging the people for
taking a bath in such springs.
The tribute he exacted from In
dians who used his hot spring was
beaver tail for each dip. For soak
ing in the spring from sun to sun he
charged a whole beaver skin.
These tolls were tolerated by the
Indians but many OF them considered
Pocatello rather exorbitant in his
rates, especially as he never founded
any public libraries or presented
electric lighting plants to the tribe.
But his turn came.
After a hundred years or so Po-
catello sort of dried up and complain
ed of cold feet. and could not sit on
his horse. He had always told his
Indians that his wonderful hot spring
in the Bannock mountains could cure
anything so they packed him off to
the spring and soused him in, and
as he could not charge them for his
own bathing, there was no care about
the bill running up, and they let him
stay in indefinitely. When they final
ly returned to see how he was getting
along, they found he had memaloos-
ed, or drowned, so they left him in
to see if he would petrify.
AS there has been no petrified Po-
catello appearing in dime museums,
perhaps the experiment did not work
out. But the old chief has had his
name nailed onto one of the busiest
little cities in the country, where
wilder Idaho has been transformed
