One fellows schemes are always winning, however wild and weird they seem; Dame Fortune on his plans is grinning, and realized is every dream. He buys mine where sundry boobies have sunk their coin to no avail, and straightWays digs out gold or rubies, or some variety of kale. All things he touches turn to money, the desert bos- soms at his glance, and so the smile he wears is sunny, he cannot help but sing and dance. ''I cannot understand ,' he stammers, why folks denounce this best of globes, why knockers wield their rusty hammers, and kickers howl and tear their robes.

THE EXPENSES OF PORTLAND

THE EXPENSES OF PORTLAND To the Editor of the Republican, Sir:
 was interested in your editorial this a. m. about Portland, Ore. and It contemplating the managerial form of government and your state ment that a millionaire citizen there said he could save the city 5000 a month if he was allowed to run it. One thousand dollars a month would be insignificant to a city whose ex- penses run over three million dollars a year, as Portland does The fact is this millionaire said he could save 5000 a day instead of a month, and believe he could do it. At the end of the fiscal year, June 30 last, Port land spent more than $450000 more than the last year under the council manic government.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

[ '''& OfN'" VT V
 The University of Illinois is a
 striking illustration of what happens l when an American state wakes uI
 and begins to get interested in edu- l cation. Illinois had done so well with men like Lincoln who were ed l. | ucated by hand that it didn't think | it worth while to spend any money
 on higher education until the sev- 1 enties. The University at that time was an industrial school, the first 1 college in the country to give shop | training. It pursued a feeble and | neglected existence until the nineties and at every legislative session some honest farmer delegate rose up | in his cowhide boots to move that the university be discontinued and the campus be devoted to the fatten- ing of pigs.
 Twenty-Five years ago, however, the farmers suddenly discovered that their fields could be educated through the school of agriculture and from this minute the University of Illinois began to grow. At that time it had | only a few hundred students and Illinois college teams abused it's football players with impunity Now 1t has $500 students and has beaten all football teams as far east as they could be found out of hiding
 The University of Illinois is located in Champaign and Urbana on a vast campus made out of superfine corn
 land. This campus rises in places to an eminence of five feet. It has
 more flowers on it than any campus
 east of California. It has many vast buildings, some of which are for
 tunately hidden by its magnificent
 trees. It has the largest drill hall
 in the world and enough cadets to
 officer an army if necessary It has a cattle judging barn more hand

Possibly not; he's done his wurst all ready. Americans had no business abroad at a time when the whole of Europe was engag ged in war of course and yet they were killed. It will be settled by apologies, promises and money payments and many there are among us who do not believe such set tlemcn sufficient.
 A lingo thinks and more frequently says: The Germans killed Americans, we should go and kill some Germans" Not only Jingoes, many others hold the same sentiment REVENGE is what prompts most men to fight. It applies to armies and nations as well. This revenge thing has come on down to us from our cave ancestry-We are full of 1t and when we have been able to con- quer the spirit-of revenge within us we have indeed done away with wars
 In the meantime let us fight Ger many Let us go over there and kill as many Germans as they killed Amer jeans. Let us get even. If we want to economize little let us kill a few of our own American Germans here at home-that would put us even with Germany and it would satisfy most of us I think.
 Aside from getting even-we ought to do it to satisfy England England did all she could to get us to fight Ger many and is much isappointed over the coming amicable settlement by di- plomacy.
 There is possibility that England purposely loaded the Lusitania with Americans and ammunition and sent thIs contraband vessel into the very path where the Germans could not miss her in the hope that war would be made between America and Germany.
 For these two reasons-one in order to GET EVEN, the other to satisfy England let us kill some Germans. Give us our REVENGE. Give us German blood. Measure for measure-an eve Tor and eye, tooth for a tooth. saith the JingO. REVENGE IS SWEET.
 Let us also figure that Germany don't see us first.
