CORNWELL ON WILSON

It is Interesting in this campaign

has said about President Wilson.
Below are some editorials taken
from Cornwel's newspaper;
The Stagc-Style Reformer.
(Hampshirc Review, April 10, 1879
There is one noteworthy fact in
connection with some so-called re-
formers and political purists. viz:
the recklessness with which they
make charges against individuals
who do not agree with their policies.
With many of these to characterize
4 man az political crook, a hireling
or n tool OF the corporations. is an
ordinary method OF combating their
arguments. Those are the weapons
they substitute for argument. Abuse
and yituperation are resorted to as
preferable 10 reason, or perhaps be-
cause ii is the natural output OF
their minds. Especially do they de-
light in this course toward members
OF the political party TO which they
profess to belong. They are the
simon-pure politically. They are the
people and all wisdom. according to
their notion, viii die with them.
Some of these you will find in the
Republican party, some of them in
the Democratic party.

ducing nothing. but living in some

Has he rendered the country any
better service?
Is he in closer sympathy with the
great mass OF humanity?
Has he greater ability?

Champ Clark became prominent
politically because he served his con-
stituents faithfully. They kept him

the job.
Woodrow Wilson became promi-
nent politically because Colonel

both for their services by insulting

on Harvey before he thought it the

CROSS COUNTRY COLE

"Cross country golf is a new de-
parture from the regular game which
is finding favor with the students of
the University of Oregon. Contest
ants have only one hole to play for.
but it's distance from the teeing off
place may range from mile to three
miles, or in fact any distance which
may be decided unon. AS suggested
by the title cross country the
ground played over is not calculated
to be classed as fairway
All the entries in a "cross coun-
try" tournament start at a selected
point the distance decided on from
the home tee and play go-as-you-
please golf until the ball is putted
into the Gun.
The University of Washington was
the first of the northwestern colleges
to take up golf, and the Oregonians
followed suit a year age. It is likely
that the two institutions will hold an
competition later in
the spring.
