THE EFFRONTERY OF
PROF. BARNETT

NOW that the land grant
NJ conference has been held
with its resolution for a
forty million dollar swindle,
and the water power confer
ence has made its brazen ap-
peal that the riches of the west
be given for eternity to the ell
ectric trust the Portland Ore
gonian turns its attention to
bulldozing the university of
Oregon.
In an editorial this morning
a sarcastic attack is made upon
Prof. James D. Barnett who
has written a paper in which
he points out the merits Of the
single house legislature as op-
posed to the present bica-
neral system.
Prof. Barnett is heretical to
hold such notions. Is not this
the standpatter's inning? Have
not the people grown tired of
progressivism and decided to
go back to corruption and mis-
rule? Why should a university
professor talk for decency and
civic advancement when such
things are not sanctioned by
the crowd in temporary con-
troll of the state?
With a single house legisla-
ture last winter the i'll smelling
Moser spoilsman's law could
not have been enacted. Be it
remembered that law was
gotten through the house only
by highwayman tactics by the
senate on the last night of the
session.
With a single house legisla-
ture there would have been nc
eleventh hour struggle be-
tween the senate and house
with the confusion and disor-
der that permitted the mid,
night resolution" to be slipped
through incognito. With z
single house there could be
no more passing the buck" or
the part Of either branch Of
he legislature. There wOulc
Oe responsible government anc
people would know more de
finitely where to place th'
blame for skullduggery.
In short a single house legls
lature would mean cleanet
legislation and would make
the path more difficult fol
those having stuff to put oVel
in behalf Of the electric inter
ests and other interests.
No wonder the Oregonlan /
grieved at Prof. Barnett. Hi
effrontery must be CALLING
Does he not know who is run
ming the state7 Is he no
aware he is blocking the "de
velopment" of the west? How

Neal, from quite another portion Of
the beach, scanned the horizon with
alarm
He shook his head The horizon
line was clear-there was no hint of
smoke.
He turned to the first mate of the
wrecked fruit steamer that lay strand
ed on the reefs.
We've got to get word to the Mis-
souri,. somehow" he said, beside,
we've left Annette and my mother
starving back there. Let's return"
Neal found his mother and Annette
where he had left them.
Cocoanuts and clans, hurriedly
gathered, supplied them with a salts
factory meal.
Neal stretched his arms. Il new

The other sailors, with the swiftness
of seamen in a sudden sQuall. were
upon their feet, each with a weapon in
his hand. They forced the women
into the hut and formed q circle,
guarding it. And then broke the
storm.
With the yell of thousand demons,
the black man-eaters were upon them
One warrior seized Inez in his grasp
and with cry of triumph darted with
her toward the Jungle A sailor who
followed was stricken down. But it
was Hernandez who stopped the cap
tor. He darted after him and caught
him by the arm.
Back" he ordered, with sign
that spelled fury. back there. This
woman belongs to me-
"Senorita. said Hernandez suavely,
bearing her to a place of comparative
security, "let us be noncombatants for
once. Get others working for you, is
my motto. AS for US, why-safety
first"
Inez shivered. She dragged Her
nandez toward an opening between the
trees.
Look, look" she cried, her face
rigid with terror, Its horrible, hor-
rible. horrible"
A short time later, by the side of
Hernandez, she stumbled blindly
through the jungle-in the midst of
a bowling, painting mob of half-naked
warriors. The warriors were the VIC
tors. And they bore with them the
spoils-two women, still alive, a small
squad Of torn and battered sailors, and
few silent figures-silent forever.
What are they going to do?" walled
Inez.
Hernandez shrugged his shoulders
