Resolved, by the Oregon State Edi-

GRAFTON with the movement represent

1--WE express our qualification over
the success of an interest taken in the
Oregon Editorial Association by it's
officers and members as evidenced by
nearly 100 per cent attendance at this
annual convention.
''We deplore the fact that religious
issues have been injected into Oregon
politics. We, the editors of Oregon,
refuse to be dragged into religious en-
tanglements and hereby denounce and
condemn any effort of any party, sect,
organization or individual to inject re-
ligious issues into Oregon politics as
un-American and inimical to the well
fare of the people of the state of Ore
gon.
I'VE greatly appreciate the splendid
effort which has been and is now being
made by DIR. Kerr and his associates to
economize and maintain at a minimum
the expenses of the Oregon Agricul
tufal College, and recognize that the
great increase in attendance more than
the additional funds
for its maintenance. We
are proud of this magnificent institu-
tion, which is recognized as second to
none of its kind in the United States,
and we favor any reasonable policy
which will maintain its present posi-
tion among the educational institutions
of the land.
Whereas. The mid-winter confer
ence is closely allied with the annual
meeting of the Oregon Editorial Asso-
citation and by reason of this fact we
favor delegation to the mid.winter
meeting the same power and preroga-
tive to act on any question which is
given the annual session, and reaffirm
a similar resolution adopted at the
vi
'"We favor the annual election of
two members of the executive commit
tee of the Oregon Editorial Associa-
ton as a means f better distributing
the Offices among the members.
1--WE indorse the movement which
has been inauguTated to erect a monu-
ment to the memory Of Homer Daven-
port and recommend that our associa-
tion be affiliated with the Homer Dav-
EXPORT Memorial Association in order
that it may be brought to a successful
Mr.. and Mrs. Moe, accompanied by
their daughter. Miss Frances, and Mr.
Thomson, motored to Corvallis. The

fin. Miss Moe stopped in Salem to
visit friends.
While at Newport Mr.. and Mrs Moe
had pleasant visit with Mr.. and Mrs.
David Marlor and son. George Finley,
who have a cottage there.
