HAS ALL THE COMFORTS.

The people of Portland (Oregon) ap

Of government by commission, without
having that sort of government. j,
will be remembered that commission
plans for city government provide for
frequent elections and the submission
TO the people of ordinances of various
kinds, give the people the right of
initiative in the enactment of ordi-
nances, giving them the right To re
call or oust elected officials, and gen
orally to have on election on any day
that they want it,
But without having This wide pro
vision for elections, the people of Port
land are doing very well indeed. At
the recent municipal election, thirty
five questions were submitted 10 the
electors, of which twelve were adopt
ed by the people, and twenty
three lost, perhaps in The shuf-
ile, Very likely some Of the most
meritorions propositions were dc
feated, and some of the most obiec-
t,onable adopted, Among those that
were adopted was n plan for establish

department Among those defeated was
one providing for a commission form Of

this point since. The claim Of serving

tion Of studies, tho waste Of money in

ards as we'll as TO the best interests
Of the public, was plainly a mere pre-
tense, dishonest outcry, raised to eff
feet the ono object Of ousting President
Kerr.
Tho Agricultural College runs along
very much tha Same now as it did,
doing good service rs we believe, but
no better than before, and doing about
the same class Of work, The talk about
the duplication OF studies was mere
cloak under which to stab President
Kerr. And as soon as tho real object
Of the furore was obtained, the ousting
of President Kerr, the troubled waters
at once became calm, there was no out
cry anywhere, and everything was sat
isfactorily and serenely settled. But the
benefit Of it all came to President Kerr
the malignity overreaching itself and
serving, instead Of inJuring, the object
Of its attack.

MALICE OVERREACHES.

President Kerr Of the State Agricui
tural College Of Oregon has just spent {
few hours in this city, arriving yester
day on his way to the National Edu
cational convention at Denver Presi
dent Kerr is well known here, having
spent the most Of his life in Utah
He is man Of prominence, Of activity
of decided character and force, and
became president of the Agricultural
College OF Utah. His enemies, Off
cial and otherwise, were determined
to oust him from that presidency. which
he held for a number of years, hoping
thereby to do him serious injury. 1t
turned out. as IL often does in such
malicious prosecutions, that lis enc.
mics did him the greatest possible
service by ousting him from our Agri-
cultural College, because it opened 10
him the much more extensive and lucra,
tive position which he now holds as
president Of the State Agricultural
College of Oregon
1t will be remembered that some
four years ago, n great furore was
raised about the duplication of studies
as between the Agricultural College
and the State University. The then
Governor Of the State, John G.. Cutler,
made an outcry against that duplica
tlon and waste Of money and effort.
He appointed commission to invcsti-
gate the case, and report upon it. In
the meantime, Mr.. Kerr's enemies got
together in an effort 10 oust him from
the college. It was assumed that he
was responsible for whatever was
wrong, and his enemies lost no time
in assailing him; but his real offcnsc
was not as stated. The committee ap-
pointed TO investigate that duplication
OF studies split up in fragments on its
conclusions, three different reports hav.
ing been made, and there appears to
have been no one TO speak for Presi-
dent Kerr. But tho Board of Trustees
Of the Agricultural College was packed
against him, and he was ousted two
years ago, The effort TO GUST him had
been made two years previous to that
time, but President Kerr was saved
by the favorable vote of Mr.. W. S.
Mccormick, then president of the
board. When the Board OF Trustees
was packed to oust Mr.. Kerr. Mr..
Mccormick resigned as trustee, decIar-
ing that he would have nothing to do
with the bad faith that was then and
there executed
On the failure OF the effort TO GUST
president Kerr, the outcry was made
about the waste of money in the dupli-
cation of studies, about the encroach
ment OF she Agricultural College upon
tic University, and vice versa. but
after Mr.. Kerr was ousted, this outcrv
