THE WESTERN WAY

HERE forces at against the collegiate end of the
free public school system of Oregon Some of those who
talk inspired by desire for economy and without
knowing what the true facts what the results would be
ready scuttle the colleges Others merely anpub
school who believe that colleges should be supported pr
vately, not by the public.
The private college policy prevails largely in England and
Atlantic coasta heritage of past generations when only
the rich supposed to have the benefits of collegiate edu
cation.
The west and middle west regions, however, strongly
committed to the policy of state colleges and universities Vr
uay every mid west western state has state university
agricultural college BOTH They maintained by the
public and tuition free to students who from out
side the state.
This the policy that Oregon follows and it is the logical
plan in accord with ideals 1t is good Amercansm to regard
educational work the function of the state For many
Oregon has provided free instruction at the university the state
agricultural college and the normal school, Many thousands
have attended these schools and thousands have graduated The
records show that the majority of such students self
porting in their college days and that the majority of students
now attending school sesupportng in part not entirely

Whose hand has truly earned its pay
And dealt in Kindness day by day,

But all men must respect his name.

To spurn advantage he might take,

At peace with conscience to remain.
May live his life in squalor grim,
but none shall dare TO sneer at him.

Not all the brave and strong will
Attain high goals-for oft we see
Honor In those of low degree:
But all who do the best they can.

VAST TREASURE STORES.
Riches Taken From Churches to
Aid Starving Russians.

Silver by the ton, gold by the
hundredweight, pearls by the
bushel and diamonds by the peck,
dumped into wooden boxes, jute
sacks, pasteboard cartons or
merely wrapped in parcels-au
this treasure hoard awaits OPEN
ing and sorting at the Moscow
storehouse for valuables confis-
cated by the soviet government
from churches and synagogues
OF Russia for the benefit Of fam
inc sufferers.
One floor of the building, about
100 feet long and 45 feet wide, is
already nearly filled with the ar
t!cles confiscated in Moscow
alone, these mounting to more
than 10000 pounds of silver, sew
eral hundred pounds of gold and
more than 10000 precious stones,
mostly diamonds. Articles taken
from the churches in the four
provinces of Russia are to be
stored OH the other four floors of
the building.
Each of the GA packages in
the big room is sealed and they
are stacked in tiers reaching al
most to the ceiling. The yield
from some of the monasteries was
too large for Il single package
and overflowed into second pack
ages, stacked beside the Others.
A rough list of the articles con-
flscated accompanies each box as
il is brought under heavy guard
to the storehOuse, but the exact
value only will be known when
appraisers open the parcels and
sort their contents. These eX-
perts, and also the worknen who
will unpack the boxes, are to be
stripped of their ordinary cloth
ing and provided with pocketless
suits when the task of sorting
begins.
Motor trucks fairly bristling
with bayonets of the soldier es-
corts drive up to the treasure
house all through the day and
night bringing boxes from the
curces. From the outer gates
10 the roof the building swarns
with guards. TO get permission
to enter it at all one must first
visit another building where
some other state treasures are
stored and where soldiers even
prevent pedestrians from walk
mg on the side of the street on
winch the building fronts.

perintendent of education for the
last IA years, Monday announced
that he would be a candidate for
governor i'll the Democratic pri-
mary this year. Mr.. Swearingen
is widely known over the State
and the announcement OF his IN
tentiOn to seek the governOrshlp
will be read with interest. Some
months ago at meeting IN Co
lumbia of the county superintend-,
ents of education motion was
made to the effect that the meet
ing indorse Mr.. SweaNngen for
governor. Mr.. SwearVgen would
not put the motion while he was
in the chair, but later it was re-
ncwed and was acted upon ia
vorably with some one else pre-
siding. Since that time there have
been numerous rumors to the eff
feet that Mr.. Swearingen would
throw his hat in the ring, but
while he had been asked many
times whether or not he would
make the race, he withheld def
mite reply, though his friends
knew he was giving the matter
consideration. s-
Mr.. Swearingen is nephew OF
the late Senator b. r. Tillman.
He lost his eyesight at the age OF
IL from an accidental gunshot
wound he received while hunting.

The announcement in Tues
days daily papers that j. E.
Swearingen would enter the race
for governor, thereby relinquish-
ing the office of State superin-
tendent of education when his
term expires in January Of next
year, brought forth the sugges-
ton in Fort Mill that Mai. JAS.
ID. Fulp, head of the Abbeville
city schools, would make an ac.
.ceptable successor to Mr.. Swear
mgen. While it is not thought
likely here that Maj. Fnlp will
enter the race for the Office, his
Fort Mill friends are confident
that il he should do SO he would
prove q strong candidate. Maj
Fulp is a s0n OF Mrs. A. o. Jones
of Fort Mill and was superin-
Htendent for several years cf the
Fort Mill public school before he
entered tho srsny in 1917.

LOOKS. AFTER PARTY.
State Convention Holds Session
in Columbia. . -


/ in Columbia.
: After staying in session almost
continuously from noon Wednes-
day until 4 o'clock this morning,
the State Democratic convention,
meeting at the capitol in Column
bia, finished its work and ad-
journed. There were several
sharp tilts over the platform,
said to have been written by for
mer Gov. John Gary Evans, as
chairman of the platform and
resolutions committee, and when
the convention had got through
revamping it the document re-
sembled that brought in by the
committee about as much as
fourth cousins do each other.
AS reported by the committee,
the platform arraigned severely
the General Assembly, scored the
county system of government in
the State as rotten and contained
much other matter which one
member said sounded like a grand
jury report and was full of mis-
statements of fact that ought to
be common knowledge among in
formed people. Other members
characterized the document as
campaign platform OH which it's
author hoped to ride into the
governors office.
In the committee room stren-
uous fight was made OH the plat
form and it was there amended
III several particulars, but not 50
much us many members thought
it should have been and. these
later aided in emasculating it OH
the floor of the convention.
While the platform was in the
hands of the committee Governor
Evans opposed putting in it any
reference to Governor Cox, Dem
ocratic nominee in 1920 for the
presidency, and urged the COM
mittee TO reject an amendment
offered by w. r. Bradford of
the York county delegation re-
ferring kindly~>to Governor Cox
for his courageous campaign. AS
sisted by Senator Alan Johnstone.
Of Newberry county and others,
the author of the amendement
beat the former governor over
whelmingly OH showdown vote.
This was the first of the many
amendments adopted to the plat
form, the submission of which,
in the opinion of numerous men,
bcrs of the convention, practl-
caHy dissipated whatever chances
friends of Governor Evans hoped
he might have for election as
governor this year. ~..
/, Senator Frank Watkins Of
Anderson county was elected
president of the convention, fol-
lowing the short tenure of Office
of Thos. G. Mcleod Of Lee conn
ty as temporary chairman. The
convention elected Edgar Brown
as State chairman. Mr.. Brown
is member of the house of rep
rcsentatives from Barnwell coun-
ty, serving his first term. His
election gave general satisfaction
and was perhaps as popular as
any that could have been made.
Mrs. Leroy Springs Of Lancaster
was honored by the convention
in being chosen as a member of
the national Democratic commit
tee as the successor of Mrs. r. /.
Manning, resigned.
