with the result that more than one

what was the matter-why the big
ship went at such speed through the
ice bergs, who was drunk If anybody.
why there were not enough life boats,
why the crew had not been drilled;
why the passengers were not ar

The public wanted an inquiry, not

THE MILLAGE PLAN.

There is much merit in the milIage
plan for providing money for the
state schools Of higher learning, pro-
posed at a joint meeting Saturday of
the regents Of the university and
agricultural college.
As matters stand at present the re-
gents of o. A. c. and the university
are compelled to look to each session
Of the legislature for most Of the
money used in the maintenance ana
upbuilding of the schools. 1t makes
the schools subject to logrolling with
in the legislature and after appropri-
ations are made they may be held up
by the referendum, for reasons Of re-
venge.
The millage plan looks to providing
the main support for the schools by
means of permanent tax, Of so many
mills for each school. The normal
school Is now upon such basis, tax
OF one twenty fifth OF mill having
been voted by the people for the main
tenance OF the school at Monmouth.
II is desired to place the agricultural
college and the university upon the
same basis though with higher levies
or course.
At the coming election the people
should turn down the proposition Of
consolidating the university and agri-
cultural college, IL It is placed before
them, and vote a millage tax for each
Of the two big schools.
The schools need ample funds for
their operation and protection against
leg rolling legislators and such tink-
erers as II. ]. Parkinson.

the senate commenced It's investiga-

VOTES FOR WOMEN

1t is said that some OF the people
in oregon, of southern origin, find it
little hard to reconcile equal suf-
frage with their ideas Of "woman's
sphere" They have not kept pace
with the program in the new south.
In Kentucky this year the women
Will vote at te state convention. In
Missouri the question of equal suf-
frage was favorably voted on at the
last meeting of the legislature and
Will go before the people this year.
In Maryland and Virginia the senti-
ment is very strong and growing in
favor of votes for women.
In San Antonio. Texas, the women
have a large suffrage organization,
'The Equal Franchise Society,"" the
expressed purpose of which Is to Gre
ate public sentiment in favor of
votes for women and to enlist all pro-
gressive women in the cause. The
officers of the organization are lead
ing society and club women of San
Antonio, indicating that women's
suffrage is acquiring a hold in high
places in this city. This is the first
move made in San Antonio to keep
abreast of the progressive cities where
franchise for women is the chief top
ic OF conversation.
The chairman Of the Woman's
Board Of the Conference on Educa-
ton in the south recently sent out a
request for suggestions regarding sub
jects to be discussed on the program
and the favorite topic suggested was
woman uffrage.
North Carolina has been regarded
as a most conservative state, yet its
chief justice lately came out strongly
for woman suffrage and in one town
women have actually been voting
At recent gathering Of club wo-
men those from the south prophesied
that they would be voting before the
New England women and it may
come true.

WHY BE PARTIAL?

In cancelling socialists citizenship
rapers because of his political beliefs
Judge Hanford Of Seattle acted in
characteristic fashion. He is very
bitterly opposed to anything radical
if 1t is the radicalism of the under
dog. He has no objections though to
the radicalism of those on top the pile
who want to stay there regardless OF
whether or not they comply with the
constitution which processes to guar
antee equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. 1t is possible this
man Olsen Is not very good citizen
and that he holds ideas that are not
all they should be. He is by no means
as dangerous however as some gentle
rnen of wealth who seem to imagine
that God made the world, Alaska in
cluded, for those who show themselves
to be the biggest and the craftiest
hogs.
II Judge, Hanford is after those who
have little regard for the constitution
he need not confine himself to radi-
cal socialists. He might find even
better cases II he would go among
some syndicate magnates who hold
"heresies" just as dangerous as this
man Olsen and who make more out
Of them than has the Swede.
