on the board of directors of large
maritime insurance company. He OBJ
tanned the position through the influ-
ence of his wealthy father. For a
year young Morgan attended the di-
rectors' meetings but never opened his
mouth, except to vote.
The president of the company told
the elder Morgan that nothing could
be done with his son, who seemed to
take little interest in business. John
Pierpont, however, all the time was
laying his plans for his first railroad
consolidation, which when accom-
plished, established his standing in
Wall street as the only man who ever
got the better of Jay Gould.
The president of the insurance COM
pany had mistaken taciturnity for in
dolence. The sobriQuet of "Sphynx of
Wall Street" was applied to the man
who at first was believed to have
been without business acumen, but
later became the supreme head of the
American finances. Morgan's con-
troll over men and money was the key
note of his life.
Others, perhaps, were Weather, but
he commanded his wealth and that of
others. At the height of his power
he is said to have controlled $1,000
100000.
In addition to finance, art litera-
ture, philanthropy and sport all came
under his influence. His prestige was
not confined to his own country
kings and emperors and even the
pope were wont to call him into con-
sultation.
Mr.. Morgan came from an old Puri-
tan New England family which in this
country dates back to 1886.

Sure they'll have a whirl tonight
When old sweethearts come in sight ?

And rose in Maytime?

Lives where life is but sigh
For a vanished morning.

THE FAR CALL.

The Galway roads are calling, calling
to the Galway-born;
They can see the dew-wet hedges
shining jeweled in the morn!
They can hear the heart-born laugh
ter of each childhood known
gossoon,
And o'nights they hear the fiddles in
well remembered tune.
And the Galway voices call them
where the Galway children
play.
And their hearts turn back to Gal
way-Aye, from half the world
away.
And the Devon roads are calling, call
ing TO the Devon-born;
They can smell the English roses in
the sweetness of the morn;
They can see the white winged fishers
homing when the day is done,
on a sea all crimson glory from the
setting Devon sun;
And the blue-eyed Devon lassies call
them from the long ago,
And their hearts are sick for Devon
when the sun is red and low.
And the Scottish hills are calling
call the Scottish banks and
braes;
And the Holland dikes and lowlands;
and call loud Italian ways.
From wherever men were children,
North or South or East or
West,
Comes the call TO those who've wan
dered when their faltering
limbs would rest,
1t is not the home ways calling when
the evening sun sinks low,
1t is lost youth calling, calling; but
they never seem to know.

be sustained at the spe-
cial election in November and present
good reasons why such action should
be taken by the people.
The students are right in this mat
ter. The university is a good insti-
tuition and it is deserving of stronger
support than has been accorded it.
The university would be a better in
stitution than it is if in the past it
had been given adequate funds. No
school can measure up to its possibil-
tiles If forced to use antiquated build
ings and poorly equipped class rooms.
Those who held up the university
appropriation were in poor business.
Whatever their motives may have been
they made an attack on education and
or progress. If they thought the state
was too liberal with the university
they We're mistaken. The state was
not liberal at all to the school 1t
was parsimonious and the state OF
Oregon has always been parsimonious
with its educational institutions.
Eastern oregon people know that from
the fate Of the Eastern Oregon Nor

If those who blocked the university
appropriation did so to aid the con-
solidation move they were misguided.
There is no call for the consolidation
OF the university anj the agricultural
college. There would be no economy
in consolidated school and there
would be no increased efficiency. 1t
would be blunder TO attempt the con-
solidation OF the schools. Each
school occupies a distinct field and
should be left free and unfettered.
The people Of Oregon should be
generous and fair with their educa-
tlonal institutions. Our schools are
