EXIT CHAMBERLAIN.

Good Morning, Governor Bensonl
Oregon has paid dearly to get back
to a Republican gubernatorial basis;
but that she is there, may give her
the necessary "hunch" to stay there
and avoid the traps and tangles
whereby she has been despoiled and
denied her logical status during the
past six years!.
Mr.. Chamberlain is likely to find
that Republican majorities in Con-
gress are less pliable than the home
majority and coldly immune to his
cooling charm, invuinerable to the
last Of his adroit wiIes as a politician;
for the time being he is the last and
least Of the great body to which he
has been sent, and while he may rise
to notable place in the minority, he
is to realize that that minority is Pc
culiar, genuine, a minority that means
exactly what the term stands for.
"Charm he never so wisely" he is at
the tail end at last, gracious as is the
dignity that has fallen to him.
The reyersion to our proper status
at the capitol is one Of the happy is
sues from the play Of this mans am

THE BOY SAVAGE.

Oregon and her State University
are deeply disgraced BY the fearful
result Of the hazing Of Ralph Bris-
tol this winter, and his hopeless in
sanity must stand, through the years,
whitening reproach to the savagery
Of the boys who wrought ii and the
wretched discipline that made it pos
sible.
The ansinine plea that he was era
xy. insane, simple-minded, foolish,
before the blasting trick was played
upon him, but deepens the character
Of the offense and intensi6es the re-
sponsibility Of his tormentors; it
leaves them utterly without excuse
for the preparation of so deadly a
game; if be was weak. physically, or
mentally, that weakness should have
appealed to the manhood of his fell
lows and spared him the rigor of their
indulgence. 1t is simply another ex-
preston Of the innate savagery in
the boy when he is stealing his IL
cense to do that which is forbidden;
and it leaves the young men impi-
Gated in the deed in a light that will
become ghastly to them in the days
Of their manhood, when matured re-
Election reveals the real scope and
horror Of it all.
Not a single one Of them should be
permitted to remain at the Universi-
ty. There should be no hesitancy in
dismissing them in plain and merited
disgrace. That is the least the au-
thorities at Eugene can do to placate
the statewide disapprobation that ex-
lists over this affair. If ii is not done
the University is likely to suffer
heavily in the future, for parents are
not going to risk their sons and
daughters in an institution that lays
down in such a case.
We have every proper feeling for
youngsters and would stretch every
sense Of goodwill and palliation in
their behalf upon less gross and less
pitiful emergency; but this matter
presents an issue that evokes a range
Of danger and turpitude that out
classes and forbids the play Of for
bearance and for the good name of
the State, we insist that the rugged
course Of reprisal, sharp and prompt,
take its wayi

LINcoLNS TENDER HEART.

From a child Abraham Lincoln
was ever the champion Of the help
less. His FIRST composition" in school
was against cruelty to animals. Many
stories are told of his defending the
defenseless. One day, on finding some
boys using a shingle in putting live
Goals on trraphin's back, angry tears
came into his eyes, and he snatched
the shingle from the ringleader's
hands. With it he dashed the hot
Goals from the turtles back and
preached against such cruelty, claim
ing that an ants life is as sweet to it
as ours is to US"
Late one cold night Abe and some
companions found a man they knew
lying drunk in freezing mud puddle
beside the road. The others said: "He
had made his bed, now let him lie in
it." But to Abe this seemed mon
strous. The man was large and heavy,
yet the youth carried the apparently
lifeless body eight rods TO deserted
cabin, where he made a fire and
warmed and nurscd the man back to

THE MAN TAFT.

The new President Of the United
States, to be. William Howard Taft
has matriculated from the Roosevelt.
tian school Of high politics and cour-
ageous administrative reform, and
the country is wondering to what
measure Of application those policies
viii be carried into the new regime
and whether the big stick" will be
welded with the same old prompt
ness and vigor and effect!
We believe the whole system will
pass, unchanged, undiminished, quail.
fed only by the man and manner oi
its destinies. Mr.. Taft will be just
as severe upon all phases of derelic-
tion in high places, but he may soft
en- the method of hitting the derelict
humans; may use a wad of velvet to
ease, not the blow, but the noise it
makes; he may go even farther than
Mr.. Roosevelt in his search and dis
covery Of fraud and wrong and un-
cover boldly while he Furnishes
quietly.
Mr. Taft, to our thinking, is no less
impregnable than his predecessor
when it comes to dealing with the
scoundrel in, and out, of office; but
he is not so much given to open
air-methods" and will be bit partial
to cabinet corrections and reprisals.
In all other ways he is counterpart
of his friend and has trained with him
religiously in all the details of gov
iernmental and administrative hnesse
and flourish, until we have come to
think of the men as partners in
thought and action, for the most part,
and co-idealists in aspiration and the
concept of their exalted, functions,
altogether; but we are willing TO con-
lcede the coming President to be rath-
Ier the gentler and quieter exponent
of the swift and silent rule of doing
| the Unpleasant" things required at
the hands Of the Chief Executive.
Underlying the wrinkles and smiles
land laughs wherewith the personality
bf Mr. Taft is generally tinctured is
the man-strain that will carry him
through all the turbulence and traps
.of the Presidency. Don't let that
jolly front blind you to the steely
back-plates Of character that main
tain and guide him in all things!

'HONOLULU'S DEFENSES
RISING STEADILY
UNCLE SAM TAKING CARE OF
HIS "EvENING ISLES
FoRTIFIcATIoNS VAST.

! HONOLULU, Hawaii, March l.
Two great coast defense guns for the
tog,iheationS at Pearl Harhor arrived
here last week, and are now being
unloaded from the bark Mohican in
which they were towed from San
Francisco, The huge weapons are the
latest design OF l2.ineh disappearing
rifles, each IS feet long, and weigh
ing 81 tons, Specially constructed ap'
paratus Is being used for liItingithem
from the vessel to the specially built
railway cars, by which they will be
transported to the ior,ihcations At
Diamond Head, just east of the city,
which are now nearly finished and
have mounted eight great l2-inch
mortars.
At Waikiki Beach work has already
begun ON iortiheatiou works which
will be euipped with two l4-inch RI
lles OF the most powerful type, When
all these guns are in place the city OF
Honolulu will be well equipped to
withstand sea attack, and with the
troops to be stationed on the island
will be able to we'll guard the rear
At the present time there are some
200 men in cavalry, infantry and
marines, while quarters for at lcsat
twice that number are now being
prepared. These troops will include
several batteries OF feld artillery,
Back Of Honolulu and separating
the city from the northern coast OF
the island, is backbone OF exceed
ingly rugged mountains, which are
virtually impossible except At two
or three easily guarded passes. At
the present time company Of engi-
neers is engaged in surveying and
mapping the island in careful detail,
and planning defensive works which
will make landing on any part OF
the island exceedingly difficult, and
viii guard Honolulu and Pearl Har'
Dor effectively even though a land
ing should be effected
The island OF Oahu lends itself ma
turally to the purposes OF a strong
hold It's coast-line OF only about one
hundred miles, has only few places
where landings may be made safely
even in the calmest weather. A large
part of the coast is belted with q
barrier OF coral on which a heavy surf
breaks constantly, while at other pla-
ces the solid bassalt sliffs drop down
into deep water in ragged outline and
tear the heavy rollers OF the Pacific
into spray These rock bound sections
Of coast are practically safe from any
landings, inasmuch as they are most
dangerous to approach by small boat.
Thus the problem OF landing troops
in any number, against any opposi.
ton from land forces, will be serious
one for the nation attempting it,
when once Uncle Sam gets through
his work here. Military men here de-
clare that even now with the guns
mounted and the forces already here,
very good resistance could be Of
fered 70 an invading army.
