building of true chnrnctpr Is the
most important work of man; by It

CORVALLIS. Or., April 13.
Speaking of the splendid achieve
ments of the Taft administration In
'limit' affairs iintl of Its great auccess
'n our relations with other nations,
Dr. John Wesley Hill last night ad
dressed the cltlxens of Corvallis.
He decluro Taft to he a great
nrogresslvo, moving along lines that
no worth while, and Hint to check
i ho movement at this time wopld be
:iu irreparable calamity.
He quoted from Lincoln's speech
:it Springfield In 1 8117, whoreln he
snid: "Towering genius disdains a
beaten path. It seeks regions unex
plored. It denies that It Is glory
enough to serve under any chief. It
thirsts and burns for distinction. Is
It reasonable, then, to expect that
xoiuc man possessed of the loftiest
genius, coupled with ambition, will
'it some tlnio spring among us? Dis
tinction will bo the paramount ob
ject and although he would ns will
ingly, perhaps more so, acquire it
by doing good as harm, yet that op
portunity being pnst and nothing left
to 1k done In the way of building
up, he would boldly set to the task
of pulling down."
Pn.pliccj . Fulfilled.
"We are now witnessing," said
Dr. Hill, "the fulfillment of Lincoln's
prophecy nnd 1 thoroughly agree
with Theodore Roosevelt when he
said In a letter to Editor Moore, De-
'cmher II, Hill, 'my nomination for
i third term would be n national cal
amity,'
'We aro now," continued the
ripeaker, "facing a grave crlBls In our
history, Tills no one can deny who
is an observer of the signs of tho
times. The question now confronting
the American people Jnvolves th)e
ttablllty and perpetuity of represen
tative democracy. To no one with
he slightest knowledge of the his
tory of the ages Is It necessary to
peak lu praise of our representative
lysteiu.
"All argil men ta for it are sum
med up lu one great, unquestionable
fact, viz: it is the only system under
vlilch men have been able to attain
rd ry liberty, or under which, hav
ing cant off tyranny nnd attained
ilicrtj, they have been able to pro
ervo liberty.
Danger of Socialism Heen.
"All human history may ho chal
lenged to produce ail exception to
his proposition. The apparent ex--cptinns,
such as some of the Swiss
-antons, either were not pure dem
ocracies in the sense of the term, or
were able to maintain their freedom
inly because their poverty and ob
scurity defended them from con
quest, or becauce their powerful
lefclibors united to restrain aggres
sive details upon them.
"We aro confronted today with a
persistent. Insidious, undermining at
tempt to change our form of govern
ment. Let. there be no mistake at
this point. The revolution to which
I refer Is a deep-seated conspiracy
to overthrow our representative form
'if government and uprear on its
'-rilnx a socialistic democracy.
"The movement Is not evolution
ary', but revolutionary. Understand
I am not defending our rnpresenta
the system against the charge that
It has, defects. Its short-comings are
man I rent, Its limitations and deficien
cies are acknowledged.
ConKplrarjr o( Just ifled.
"But this does not Justify the con
piracy to destroy. It is not neces-
i nary to overthrow In order to upllfe.
, It is poor policy to burn down the
barn In order to disperse the rats,
and It Is a more serious and per 11-
ous policy to tear down our Mag
,and offer the substitution of anoth
er( the red flag, for Instance, because
the government represented by the
stars and stripes does not at all times
work with frlctlonless precision. I
"Tho propoBltlou, therefore, to
change our form of government, to
destroy Its representative character,
should be carefully considered be
fore accepted as a practical working
remedy for those minor defects which
always assert themselves in the
movements of large bodlos. The

The news that a $50,000,000 bond

railroad, was received by Rosoburg
people with great satisfaction, as this
aimonrs to he the iii-iiriiioui i,n,...i
for a railroad between Roseburg and
Coos Bay over scon hore. The Rose-,burg-Coos
Bay survey was made last
summer and fall by Engineer Taggart
Aston and associates. Thjo crews
started at Camas Valley, 27 miles
southwest of Roseburg, and worked
both ways, one to Myrtle Point.
Mnrshdeld nnd Bnndon, the other

Looking. Class and Garden Valley
and crossing the Southern Paclflo
' itherlln.
It is said tho survey shows a splen
did route for a railroad, with easy

Chief Engineer Cuttell visited this
