PROBING THE PHILANTHRoPIsTs.

Is country fortunate or unfortunate IN Chat some
of its rich men feel disposed constrained to dedicate
part of their fortunes to educational and phllanthropc
work. and part of their me energy and experience to the
unpaid direction Of this work?
This is the period of the probe Statesmen everywhere
throughout the country are zeaousy probing everything
but themselves Particularly where big money is involved
do they fasen themselves like parasites that will not be
shaken off while parasitingi is good
There seems to be growing theory that government
should take over and conduct the big foundations en-
dowed with many millions.
There is no good reason why government itself should
not establish foundations to the good purposes for which
those are privately endowed But it does not DO So and
it is more than doubtful if politicians the fit people for
directing such things.
Higher education in this country was started and has
always had its main impulse and support not from govern
men but from private individuals and organizations, re-
lgious and Others
Harvard Yale Columbia, Johns Hopkins, the Unver-
sity of Chicago Leland Stanford and Of other in
stutons which have done most and best in higher edca
ton are the work of private benefactors And these nst
uons have been responsive to genuine public interest Is
there any reason to suppose that politicians would or
could have done better?
What advantage would likely come to this country in
checking the tendency Of the rich to devote their means to
higher education on the conditions that have hitherto OBJ
tanned? Or to the endowment of scientific research
No other nation in the world duplicate the Carnegie
Institution at Washington, the Rockefeller Institute in
New York. Johns Hopkins or any other or half dozen
American institutions for scientific research that might
be mentioned
Have politicians ever shown inclination ability to dc
better?

By Albert Tozier.

Oregon was first divided into four
judicial districts by the constitution.
Each district elected one Judge and the
four judges constituted the supreme
court. The four first chosen allotted the
terms among themselves, the term of
one expiring in two years, one in four
years, and two in six years, and there
after the term to be six years, the judge
having the shortest term to serve, or
the Oldest of several having such short
est term, and not holding by appoint
ment, to be chief justice. In 1878 the
supreme court as now constituted was
created.
