SUPPORT THE
UNIVERSITY
GOOD REASONS WHY APPROPRI.
ATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED.
REFERENDUM is UNWARUANTED
Every Investigation Shows That Con.
solidatiOn of large Institutions is
Not Either Satisfactory or Econom-
icaI.

There are urgent reasons why
every friend of good schools should
be out to vote on Tuesday, Novem-
ber 4. The last legislature appropri-
ated 100000 for a new building at
the University of Oregon, and s75.-
600 for needed additions and repairs
to the buildings now on the campus.
A referendum was filed on these two
bills by certain group of men head
ed by II. J. Parkinson, who gained
such an unsavory reputation in con-
nection with the referendum of 1911
The only argument advanced by these
parties in support OF their movement
is that the people of Oregon have
never voted upon the question of con-
solidating the U. of o. and o. A. C.
They do not give the people a chance
to vote upon such consolidation bill
and have never submitted bill of
this sort for the people to consider:
consequently, we may look upon this
reason as mere excuse for some
private ends which they wish to
serve.
California and Washington are
building up great universities which
are the pride of the coast and COM
pare most favorably with the great
universities of the east. Oregon has
to take a back seat because of just
such petty politics as this. Why
compel our young people to go out
side the state for their university
training? Most of them will never
return. Oregon will have saved
few dollars and incidentally have lost
some of its brightest young men and
young women, who in the long run
are the best product Oregon puts out.
AS regards the question of consol-
idation the great weight of reason
rests on the side of developing the
U. of o. and o. A. c. in two separate
institutions. They are close enough
so that they can cooperate; both are
good schools and the expensive plants
at either location cannot be surren-
dered without great loss to the state.
Neither institution can be reproduced
in another place at its present cost.
The ratio of the number of instruct.
ors and the amount of equipment to
the number of students has been
fixed by years of experience The
ratio is the same whether the schools
are combined or separate. Only so
many students can be seated in "a
certain classroom; only so many stu
dents can occupy certain labora-
tory
| A few years ago the state of Texas
faced this same problem of consolida-
tion. A commission was appointed
and spent $25, 900 in most thor
ough investigation covering the edu-
cational systems of the world. Their
report was absolutely and unquali-
fiedly against consolidation in any
form. Statistics show that there is
no financial saving in consolidation.
1t is not probable, therefore, that
there would be any saving after con-
solidation, while the initial cost of
consolidation would provide all nee
essary buildings at both institutions
for years to come.
Vote 800 X Yes.
Vote 3O2 X Yes.
Help the state of Oregon to get
the name of being a good schools
commonwealth.

Wants All Streets Cleaned.

We are more than pleased with the
way Main street is kept clean, but
would it not be a good idea to pay
Va little attention to some of the other
paved streets? For instance, Granite
street, where all the visitors coming
to our city passed when coming down
from Scenic Drive. There are piles
of dirt and sawdust that have been
there for months, which are very un-
slightly and unclean.

president of the republic and held the

signing in favor of Huerta, whom he
had appointed to the head of the De

his brief incumbency of office of chief
executive anew minister of foreign

Lascurain as his successor does not
appeal to Huerta, and there is reason
to doubt whether he is entirely ac'

Wants No Interference.

Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, Nov. ID
Before going into the second confer
ence Friday with VIM. Bayard Hale,
President Wilson's personal represen
tative, Gen. -Venustiano Carranza made
the most explicit and definite state
ment he yet has uttered with reference
to Huerta, the United States and the
Constitutionalist revolutionary move
ment, of which he is the head.
1--WE will accept no transactions" he
said, NOR the interference OF any ma.
ton to regulate Mexicos interior con.
ditions."
After the conference, which continu.
ed for two hours, Carranza was non

ton, and also to the suggestion from
the American capital that further
bloodshed might be avoided and peace
and order restored if the contending
factions could get together through
the American agents, Hale and Lind
and agree on a provisional president
acceptable to all parties, who would
serve until a chief executive had beer
chosen at a full and free election.
"The only thing which We ask ant
which we are trying to obtain from the
United States is the free importation
of arms into Mexico"
This was the closing sentence of Car
ranza's statement, which was givei
J out as final declaration. Spoken
slowly and with studied choice o
} words, it had the effect of finality wit
, regard to any proposition which re
uuired of the Constitutionalists any

COLLECT DONATIONS

jackson, Miss, Nov. 15.-All rail
way lines entering Jackson have ar
ranged to run free freight cars on
their lines, commencing on Nov: goth
to collect donations to the Methodist
and Baptist orphanages in this city.
The cars will be scheduled to reach
jackson on Nov. %, two days before
Thanksgiving, and will carry the
thank offerings of the people of the
state to these institutions.
Schedules will be furnished by the
various lines showing the date their
cars will arrive at local stations, and
all persons desiring to make donations
to the orphanages are requested to
have their packages at the freight
depots in readiness for loading ant
plainly marked.
The two orphanages in this city arr

children. The gifts during Thanks

record as an officer in the the regular

minister of war. This suggestion is
wholly repugnant to Huerta, who re-
Gently brought about the dishonorable
discharge from the army of Angeles,
who broke his parole following his
arrest some time ago by the rebels in
the north.
1t is doubtful whether Huerta would
consent except in the last extremity
to yield his position to General Venus
tiano Carranza or to anyone identified
with the rebellion. 1t is certain that
the Constitutionalists will agree to no
one identified with the government be-
coming president.
1t is known that Manuel Cara AL
dape, the minister of interior, who
came from Torreon, has been dis
cussed as the successor of Huerta, but
because he is a member of Heurta's
Cabinet he probably will not be con
sidered. The appointment of Migue
Covarrubias, who is in London on hi!

he was Mexicos minister, would bt

successor will be some one not ident
fled with national politics or rebe
movements.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Tight corsets on

constant causes of serious ailments
of the stomach, according to surgeons
who Friday saw DR.. Herbert Patter-

to provide "a new outlet for a stomach
to replace a badly-abused pylorus
which had become inactive. The oper-
alton was on woman, and the in
ertness of the pylorus, surgeons said,
was chiefly due to tight corsets.
DR.. Patterson cut the intestine a
few inches below the pylorus and made
hole in the side of the stomach near.

A PRAYER SONG.

Thy gifts that men call good, o Lord,
Thou has denied to me me-
Health, wealth, or fame, tongue of
flame,
Or poets ectacy.
Still from the depth l thank Thee for
A pinioned heart that sings;
For sympathy, for spirit free
That beats the air with wings.
Perhaps twill be, ere night comes
down,
A Kingly One may pass;
Behold me mute, broken lutte,
Low-lying in the grass.
Then touch of love may wake the
chords
That are the soul of me.
And listening men will dream again
OF hope, of faith, of Thee.
