or all the enemies which President
Roosevelt has made during his re-
markable administration as chief
executive of the nation, no man can
say that he has stopped to listen to
the boodlers, grafteFs or parasites Of
politics which have swarmed about
the national capital.
orison SWEET Marden in a recent
number Of Success Magazine pays
the president a deserved compliment
and renews the high ideals Of char
acter which have always marked his
public and private life. Marden says:
Compare the pitiable human beings
who have collapsed from exposure
during the last two years with the su-
perb figure in the White House. But
yesterday those men stood on a level
with Mr.. Roosevelt in popular es-
TEEN; today they are despised of all
men.
No power can ever restore them to
their former influence. They have
discredited themselves, and are dead
to the American people.
The trouble with these men who
went down so quickly in the public
asteen was that they were not men
before they were congressman, sena-
tors insurance officials, railroad men,
bankers, financiers. They were play
ng false part.
Mr.. Roosevelt early resolved that,
let what would come, whether he sue
ceeded in what he undertook or fail
ed. whether he made friends or ene-
miles, he would not take chances with
good name; that he would part with
everything else first that he, would
never gamble with his reputation,
that he wuld keep his record clean.
His first ambition was to stand for
someting, to be a man. Before he
was a politician or anything else the
man must come first.
In his early career he had many

The dissatisfied state of human ma

university. Morgan has craved this
title and despite his millions he
thought it would, add to the sum of
his happiness. On the other hand II
the poverty stricken professors who
conferred the empty degrees upon

wealth. they would perhaps surrender
all of the 23 initials and titles attach

A strange story comes from one Of
the Balkan states, where commercial
morality is still in its infancy. At a
recent banquet given at the house Of
prime minister a distinguished Dip
lomat complained to his host that the
minister of justice, next to whom he
was sitting, had taken his watch. The
prime minister said: "Ah, he shouldn't
have done that. will get 1t back for
you" Sure enough, toward the end
Of the evening the watch was return
ed to its owner "And what did he
say?" asked the guest "Sh-h! He
does not know | have got 1t back"
said the prime minister.

Pendleton uses about 5000 brooms
per year and every one of them is
manufactured either in Kansas Mis-

way across the continent. Umatilla

broom corn and Pendleton could
manufacture enough brooms 70 sup
ply half of Oregon. It is simply a
matter of getting started into a new
business. 1t is a matter of getting
out of a rut.

RECONSTRUCT L. OF o.

That a complete reconstruction and
irearrangement of the educational
system, and especially of the univer-
sity and agricultural college systems
Of oregon, is at hand, is shown by
the frequent earnest demands for it
from educators and those in authority
in the state.
The people of Oregon have sustain
ed the state university and are proud
of it, but there are a number of radi-
cal changes which should be made
in its work. Editor E. Hofer OF the
Salem Journal, and a member of the
state normal board, says Of the de-
mand for a reconstruction of the
University of Oregon:
Now that the election is over. and
the state university has got it's per-
manent support of $125,OOO a year
something should be done for the re-
construction of the institution.
But in all the jubiliation and in all
this week of graduating exercises it
is not likely that any earnest effort
will be made to correct any of the
defects in that institution
The Linn county grange has start
ed a movement to have both the state
university and the agricultural col
lege put under one board of regents,
as the four normals have been.
There is room to doubt IL that
alone would accomplish the real ends
to be sought. 1t might result in
getting greater economy and in cut
ting out the duplication of courses.
What excuse is there for carrying
on the same courses Of study at two
institutions maintained by the state?
1t will be said there must of secesslty
be some duplication of courses
There will have to be some dupli-
cation in sciences and in English, but
what excuse is there to carry on de- |
partment in civil engineering, mining
engineering, hydraulic engineering
and electrical engineering?
There is too much engineering at the
agricultural college, according TO the
list of graduates published, where
eight took a course in agriculture, II |
in domestic science, and about sixty
odd in engineering
But the industrial and domestic /
science departments of the agricul-
tural college have been strengthened
and enlarged, and a lot of the liter
ary and cultural courses have been
cut out
The agricultural college is putting
in wood and metal-working shops,
cookery and dressmaking depart
ments, and enlarging the field and
getting out of competition with the
state university
But more Of this will have to be
done, and there is room for improve
ment in both institutions IN getting
out of each others fields. The peo-.
pie will not stand to be taxed to main
tain duplicate courses.
In closing the critical discussion,
The Capital Journal wishes to sug-
gest in the interest of the university
that it meet the demands of the peo-
pie better now that 1t has more mon
ey to carry out It's plans with.
The law and medical departments
should be taken out of the purlleus
Of Portland, the standards of admls-
sion raised to that of other first
class universities and maintained at
Eugene.
The department Of education
should be built up and made to serve
the rapidly growing demand for spe-
cial teachers for the high schools. All
the students taking professional
courses should be required to pay

Death of Miss Walker.

Entered into rest January IL, 1905
Miss Barbara A. Walker, daughter Of
the late William +. and Mary Walker.
She was born in the State Of Pennsyl-
vania, but came to Farmyille TO live
in her early childhood
She was woman of culture and
fine education. Those Of her friends
who knew her well always found her
ready and willing to help in every
good work. At one time she carried
on a small library for the benefit Of
friends who wished to avail them
selves Of lis privileges. Her father
went into the Confederate service at
the head Of his company, and gave
up his life for the cause he loved so
well. He was killed at ChaucellOrs-
vile on the soil Of his native state
We have sometimes thought the
courage and bravery Of father must
have descended To daughter who
never wavered nor ialtered when the
call Of duty came.
Her influence was one widely felt,
during her earlier life she taught in
the homes Of some Of our prominent
citizens. Her pupils today bear testi-
mony to her sterling worth and no
bility of character.
Her last illness was q long and pain
full one, but borne with great patience,
her trust was in Him who has promis
ed a crown of life to those faithful unto
the end.
Surrounded 10y friends and loved
ones she quietly fell asleep. Her
memory will live in the hearts Of her
friends. Truly to know her, was to love
her.
