University 0. K.

The senate and house committees on
universities and colleges returned from
Oxford, where they investigated the
state university. One of the senate com.
mittee is authority for the statement
that nothing wrong was found at the
university. The committees found that
the charges against Chancellor Kincan-
non and Secretary Ross were groundless.
The committees will no doubt give the
university a clean bill of health, but
certain recommendations in regard to
the handling of funds, improvements,
ETC., will be made.

Both houses of the legislature having
decided to insert the amendment provid-
ing for the election of circuit judges and
chancellors into the constitution, the
next perplexing question is how to make
it operative. In some quarters it is held
that the terms Of present circuit judges
and chancellors were automatically ter
minated by the insertion of the amend
ment, while others are of the opinion
that 1t cannot become operative until the
terms of the present incumbents expire.

REACTIoNARY POLITICS.

There are Republicans Democrats who prefer their
party defeated to having it save the people.
Such alleged Republicans prefer party defeat to the principles
of Lincoln carried into actual effect.
Such assumed Democrats prefer party defeat to the triumph
of Jefersonian policies.
But Lincoln and jefferson are considered by the world have
been pure hgmnded clean and able American statesmen
Reactionary newspapers declaring the Republican party
is hopeessy divided and defeated if Roosevelt is nominated
They prefer party defeat to the success of candidate who
appeas directly to the and not to the classes
The reaconay has passed the point where he believes pop
uar that the people have any right but to be
ruled
He almost if not quite ready to accept monarchy and does
proclaim ogarhy and advocates putocaythe rule of the few
and the rich
Hence there is the wall that the Republican party disrupted
Hence there is the howl that Champ Clark and his "houn
dawg" means mob rule.
But the rule of intelligent mob that reads the newspapers
and has free speech to be preferred to the eshp Of the
morally deayed putocrcy that gained wealth by the spoaon
Of the masses

MAYOR GETS DATA ON
STREET PAVING
Queries Regarding Proposed Material
Answered by Officials Of Other

Answered by Officials Of Other
Towns.
Mayor w. F. Matlock is trying to
solve the paving question here in
Pendleton, says the East Oregonian"
and today received messages relating
to the price of gravel bitulithic and
the merits of the Dollarway pave
ment.
The first received is from A. ].
Sayer, mayor of Ann Arbor, Mich,
and ireads as follows:
SIn my opinion Dollarway, while
cheap in first instance, maintenance
in city must be very expensive. The
bituminous top needs constant repair.
Comes off in large patches and is
not permanent. Washtenay avenue
pavement put down eight months ago
is being repaired in places"
The second is from R. S. Dulln, of
the Portland city chemists. 1t reads
as folloys:
There has been no concrete pave
ment coated with coal tar or bitumen
laid in Portland from my laboratory
tests, l have concluded that this
type Of pavement is yet in expert
mental stage, and reports from the
eastern engineers strengthen my
opinion that it is not permanent
pavement"
The third is from c. E. B. Bah
cock, first assistant engineer of Buff
falo, N. Y, and is as follows:
1--WE have had no actual experience
with Dollarway roads. Might be
willing to use it on some outlying
streets for temporary purpose.
Should be considered in class which
name implies, dollarway. Perma-
nency Of coating depends upon meth
DDS of application. Thin coat should
not be expected to last long.
