John Browns body lies a-mould-

Fifty years ago today John
Brown made his name immortal
and brought upon himself death
by seizing the government armory
at Harpers Ferry, Va. Dec, 2.

and treason and his "soult went
marching on"
Two years later the civil war,
which realized, what John Brown
only dreamed of--freedom for the
slaves--began, and this war was
In great part brought about by
the exploits OF the sturdy old
abolitionist.
Born In Torrington, Conn.,. May
10, 1900, Brown moved to Ohio
with his father when he was .
years old. He became dealer In

TRAINING COUNTS.

Commenting upon the new federal
cabinet an eastern exchange says:
"Of the nine members of the Taft
cabinet, eight will be college men.
This exceeds the college represen-
tation in the Roosevelt cabinet. The
retiring president is a graduate of
Harvard; the incoming president is
q graduate of Yale. OF the 14,142
persons who have attained sufficient
Importance in American public life
to be deemed worthy of biographical
notices in "Who's who in America"
1926 are graduates of colleges. This
indicates clearly that in the battle of
life college training counts for a
great deal. But with the increased
of and demand for col
lege men must come increased respon-
sibilities on the part of the colleges.
Higher education is becoming less
and less exclusive every year. There
is no monopoly of scholarship any
more than there is a monopoly of
genius in the United States. Educa-
ton is not a class privilege here. IL
is a popular right. Every year it is
coming more and more within the
reach of the poor. 1t is not probable
that in the near future a majority
of the people will be college trained;
it is quite possible that within the near
future the percentage of college
trained persons to the entire popula-
ton will be far greater than it IS
now"

THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

Women are the same in the society
circles of New York and Chicago and
in the jungles of benighted Africa,
according to Prof. Frederick Starr
of the University of Chicago. In a
magazine article the professor de-
clares that This moral identity Of
savage and barbarous women with
the civilized can be demonstrated by
thousands of examples. Thus:
"The bargain counter morals are the
same.
Both classes of women will submit
to any amount of torture for FASH
ions sake.
"Woman's clubs exist in Africa as
well as in America.
Women are sold as wives in New
York and Chicago as well as in Af-
rica.
THE subject of modesty arises
from the same causes in both cases.
THE question of personal adorn-
ment is of great importance in both
cases.

has been no greater than was given
at one time TO a Portland enterprise,

grace for the Oregonian to cast slurs
at the proposed eastern oregon asy-
lum and at the Cello portage road,
when Portland is fatheying move
ment to change the state capital to
that city.
Portland IS the big commercial city
of Oregon. Its growth is due to the
business it receives from the rest Of

At this time there is a general feel
ing all over the state that Portland
is not treating the rest of the state
fairly With this feeling existing It
is but natural that retaliatoyy meas

PORTLAND SHOULD BE FAIR.

In a very broad minded editorial
last evening the Oregon Journal had
the following to say:
1.-THE advancement Of Oregon Is
best and most easily accomplished
through mutually Of effort and CO.
operation on the part Of its various
sections. To achieve the utmost each
part must be helpful and considerate
Of all other parts. Unity Of effort and
harmonious relation IS the basis and
the only basis for such an Oregon as
all Oreeonians hope, plan and strive
for.
1T IS bad policy for one locality
to seek It's own agsrandizement at the
expense Of another"
This IS all entirely true. It IS only
too bad that all the newspapers Of
Portland. the prominent citizens Of
that city and especially the Multno-
NAH county legislators, have not en-
tertained such sentiments.
It was bad grace for the oregonian
and for the Multnomah delegation to
oppose supporting the normal schools

TAXICAB 900 YEARS OLD.

London.-Some delving scientist
has discovered that the Chinese had
taxicabs some sixteen hundred years
ago.
DR. Giles, professor Of Chinese at
Cambridge, is responsible for this
discovery. While tracing the dyn-
astic histories Of China, he came ac-
ross numerous illusions to a curious
chariot in which there was an arran-
cement for registering the distance
traversed.
It was first mentioned under the
Chin dynasty, which lasted from A.
D. 265 to 419, and from that time
down to the middle Of the fourteenth
century frequent illusions to such We
hicles. known as the "measure-mile
drum charlots," are to be found in
the dynastic histories.
Full particulars given as to their
construction, the number Of wheels,
their positions, the number Of cogs
on each wheel etc, being all defin-
ltely stated.
On the completion Of a translation
OF the specifications, Professor Giles
placed It in the hands Of Professor
Hopkinson Of the Engineering Lab
oratory, with the satisfactory result,
that from a specification recorded
500 years ago Professor Hopklnson
has constructed a model Of a wheel
ed vehicle which accurately registers
distance. At each II, or Chinese mile,
which IS about one-third Of an Eng
ligh mile. a drum Is struck, while at
every tenth a bell Is rung.

On Monday the legislature will con-

it should make the session just as
