Shepherd for Congress.

Geo. S. Shepherd of Portland
is one of the most brilliant law
yers and business men on the
Pacific Coast. He believesin the
rights and power of the common
people because he is one of them,
being thoroughly democratic in
his nature and learning. He is a
man who does things as was
seen when he was on the city
council of Portland, when his
colleagues recognizing his power
and talent elected him president
of that body.
He stands for a 40-foot channel
to the sea, for the great irrigat-
ion projects Of the interior, in
fact he is intensly interested in
the irrigation projects of interior
Oregon, and gives the same con-
siderable attention. He believes
in State banks and being of the
common people he stands for and
believes in the election of U. s.
Senators by popular vote.

laws enacted by our legislature.
The only good thing about that
editorial Is that II would probably
cure insomnia and in fact we
doubt II half dozen people read
1t through. We read a part Of it
however and as usual 1t was
flagrantly misconstrued. For
fear someone might have read Il
and gained a wrong impression,
we win explain. In speaking OF
the Banking Law the writer in
the Times tells the people that
IL this law had been made effect
i've Immediately after its passage
a great number Of farmers in
Eastern Oregon would have be-
come insolvent. This statement
is entirely false. The State Bank
ing law wfs copied somwhat after
the National Banking Law. The
National Banking Law prescribes
that no National Bank shall loan
to any individual, firm or corpor-
alton a sum which exceeds 10 per
cent Of its capital stock. The
State Law prescribes that no
state or private bank shall loan
to any individual, firm or corpor-
alton a sum which exceeds 25per
cent Of the capital stock. How
many farmers in this county had
borrowed Of any state or private
bank a sum which exceeded S12. :
500? Not one. Therefore the
bank had no right to call in these
loans and press anyone to the
wall. Why was this law amend
ed? Simply to help the Ross
bank and other such banks that
had loaned sums in excess of 25
per cent to their officers or stock
holders. This was why the Ross
bank kept a secret lobby at Sa-
lem and as the 0regonian states
kept such as Joinder ready at
their beck and call. Had this
law gone into effect Immediately
the Ross bank would not have
been open "a hours. They need
ed the amendment and they got it.
The law was not amended to
help the people but to give some
of the pusillanimous grafters
time to get their shady deals
Strengthened up. Don't let
"Joinder's" paper give you the
wrong impression but look into
the matter for yourself.

only a crude caricature of the first

the predominant type based upon
early Greek profles.
These were excellent examples to
follow, but our native coin designers
do not seem TO have possessed sufi-
cient skill of hand TO prescribe the
consummate beauty Of their Greek
models while adapting them to the
uses of American coinage. The near
est approach TO a practical coin ideal
is that which is on our silver twenty
five cent pieces and our nickel five
cent bits, but his head, as already

WHO POSED FoR OUR COINS?

The question is often asked: 'Who
was the original model" reference
being to the feminine face on some
very old or some very recent coin. In
the main there have existed but few
originals of any Of these coin Inca
ments and the reason is simple:
Coin designers very rarely use
model Excepting in cases where alb
soIute pOrtraitureS is demanded. as
in the coinage of European coun-
tries with its likeness Of reigning
mOnarches, the heads to be found on
coins, both ancient and modern, are
mere fancies of the designer, idealized
femininity typifying some such SEN
riment as liberty, equality, industry
and the like.
On our own coins Of every denOmin-
alton, for a century and a half, only
three traceable feminine portraits ap-
pear. These are Martha Washington,
Lady Hamilton and the young Irish
woman of New JERSEY who posed for
the new st. Gauden's double eagle,
But even in this last instance the
features are not altogether those of
the model; indeed no artist engaged
upon an ideal work ever portrays the
model as she exactly is for something
of spiritual quality must go into the
making of every artistic idealization.
Examine all our American coins bear

readers, arranged so that every read
er has the light over his left shoulder
and sits next to an aisle, and no read
er faces another or will have another
pass behind him in going or coming.
This room contains the loan desk and
the catalogue. On the walls will be
placed the reference books, the books
reserved for the use of the classes,
the current periodicals., and several
thousand vb-umes of general litera-
ture. This room is about 20 feet in
height; it is lighted by high windows
which leave space for bookcases
around the walls. Off the reading room
on the north is the fourth floor of the
stack, which is expected to contain
the college library proper, or a collec-
ton of some $4,000 volumes special
Iy selected for the use Of the under
graduates. Adjoining the stack and
connecting with the reading room is
the large, high, and well-lighted cat
aIoguing room, which fronts on the
court. The catalogue trays are so ar
ranged as to be accessible both from
the catalogueT's room and the read
ing room On the right of the yesti-
bule are the public stairs, with the
mems and the women's coat rooms
on the two sides Of the passage, at
the end of which are the librarians
two rooms, one public and one priv
ate.
Ascending the stairs, the visitor
reaches the mezzanine floor, which
contains a large and handsome mon
umentaI room for the famous Harris
collection of American poetry, a rare
book room, in which sliding book
cases will be employed, and a large
study room over the catalogue room,
lighted from the court. On this floor
will be two balconies overlooking the
reading room.
The second or top floor is devoted
to special collections and study rooms.
From it opens the eighth floor of the
stack. Here are a large room and a
study room in each case for the
Rider collection of Rhode Island His
tory and the Wheaton collection of
international law, large unassigned
room, a map room, three rooms for
art folios and other art volumes, and
three study rooms, besides a large
exhibition rom. lighted from above.
The simplicity and orderliness of
such an architectural plan exactly ac-
cords with the character of the great
American whom the building com
memorates. Peraps at some time sub
sequently a sculptured memorial of

IN MEMORY OF JOHN HAY
University Library Gift OF Friends.

problem was TO provide accommoda-
tions for 200 readers, 100000 volumes,
rooms for various special libraries
and for study, and for the different
branches Of the library administra-
ton.
The requirements have been full
filed in accordance with the modern
idea in planning libraries and mu-
seums Of inviting the public to make
use of the treasures of literature and
art. There was time when a librar-
ian of Harvard college announced
with satisfaction on Saturday after
noon that every book but one was
back on the shelves and that he was
sending a messenger for that one.
The newer point of view is to make
the literary collections as accessible
as possible. 1t viii be noticed that
in the John Hay library the rooms
visited by most users of the library
are on the first floor Practically all
the rooms open to the public, in fact,
except the large exhibition room, are
on this floor. The administration Of
the building is centered on the YER
ticaI series of rooms Of which the
catalogues room is midway, and
these rooms are connected with one
another and with the stack by lift
and by stairs. The stack will contain
some 100000 volumes, and $4,000 vol
umes will be contained in other parts
of the library. 1t is expected that
pneumatic cleaning will be installed
throughout the building. The depart
ment libraries will be accommodated
in the old building, which will COM
with the new and thus make
available to readers in either build
ing the resources of the other.
The reading room has seats for IT'S
