HOW VERY FUNNY.
The Gazette says . the Times is
a "ring organ." How funny ' it is
for Mr Woodcock's paper to say
that. ' Now the very excellent
gentleman who owns and runs .the
Gazette, does a law business, con
ducts an insurance business, owns
and runs a drug business, conducts
a creamery business, operates a
Ranking -business as well as a news
TOiner business, all in (Corvall is '
' Now in this little ring of which
the Gazette is a part, the drug
business sells physic to the , bank
employes and the newspaper edit
j iu. . tu.
creamery sells butter and things to
the ' drug ' clerks, and bank
: employes and editors, and the Ga-
- ing to thecreamery and the.: bank
and the drug business:'- One es
tablishment lubricates the other.
It is a sort of co-operative colony
here in Corvallis with the fountain
head, town mayor, and to cap the
climax it is proposed to elect one of
the bank, employes" county judge,
so that tax matters .and county af
fairs can be conducted also from the
private office of the bank." , And it
, is the Gazette that is the bung
.hole of .: this co-operative colony,
i and yet the Gazette says it ' is the
Times that is the "Ring Organ."
How very, funny.
POOR OR RICH WHICH? , :
For the sake of argument " elim
inate the question of whether or
not the Job bank failure should be
indorsed by the election of J O Wil
son to the clerkship. Then, how
does the matter stand?,. Perhaps
both candidates for clerk are equal
ly competent. But Mr Wilson is a
comparatively wealthy man. He
has i, 2oo 'acres of land. ' His farm
is one of the finest in Benton coun
ty It is well stocked with fine
cattle and sheep. K is well im
proved and there is at hand every
appliance and machine required in
working it. Mr Wilson literally
has everything that he needs.
What then does he want with . the
clerkship? - j : ,
On the other hand, Victor Moses
is a. poor young man. He has a
small home that shelters his aged
parents, whose mainstay he is.
This, and his two hands are his
only inheritance. If not elected
clerk, Victor Moses will be set
adrift in the world without employ-,
ment. .-. If Mr Wilson ; be defeated
he will simply remain on his fine
farm, surrounded by every conven
ience and luxury. It will be his to
continue to enjoy his competence,
and amass more wealth. His sur
roundings and high social 'l position
will not be disturbed if he . fail of
election. .; '; .-- ' :. .' . " " ' .
Since both are equally competent
towhich is it better to give this
office the rich man - or : the poor
one? ' Can any man, rich or: poof,
vote under , the circumstances to
turn down Victor Moses, . and not
feel a tinge of regret? Ought not
Mr Wilson, well-to-slo as he is, be
a little ashamed to take this office
from his poorer opponent? Are
not Mr Wilson's broad acres, fine
house, fine cattle and carriages and
horses enough?
BECAUSE MERITED. ..
No man who voted' for Grant
.Jlgin two years ago has had . cause
to regret it. He jhas been an ex-
cellent recorder. The steadfast
habits that he formed in his plod
ding life on the farm and in college
have served him' well " as a public
servant. Every trust and - res
ponsibility imposed upon him, has
been faithfully arid fully met.
It is the custom of the people
of Benton county, to reward faith
ful service. , They generally con
sider that if; a man- makes a good
officer one term that it is properto
elect him to a sesond term. It is a
good course to follow because it 'en
courages fidelity .in office, and is
public reward for duty done. This
. fact, and the knowledge that he is
a - straightforward and sincere
young man gives strength to Grant
Elgin as a candidate.. In acknow
ledgment of the wisdom of his
choice then, every man who voted
two years" ago' for' Grant' Elgin
should stand by his candidate next
Monday. - . : ...
J0 PROTECT FARMERS' INTERESTS,
On the first page of this issue
will be found a sketch of the career
of Hon J. K. Weatherford, ; candi
date for congress in this district.
A man is-known by his - works.
What he has done in the past is a
guarantee of what he may be ex
pected to do in future. When a
member -of the state senate, Mr
Weatherford prepared" "and ' intro
duced a bill to regulate, "and govern
warehouses ; and the storage of
grain; wool and other commodities
usually stored in bulk, and secured
its passage. ' '.' . ' ' ;
In a recent case tried in the ". su
preme.court of Oregon, growing
out of the failure of one of the ware
houses at Halsey, where a hundred
and thirty or forty farmers were in
terested J against the Portland
Flourings Mill Co,; et al, decided it
in favor of the farmers and against
the company, sustaining the" ' law
in every: particular, v , Under ; this
law the wheat or commodity . stor
ed can be recovered if shipped out
of the warehouse without the con
sent of the owner. . This ' case se
cured for the farmers pay for the
grain which without it they could
not recover. 4 Mr : Weatherford's
record has been a good one and
always on the side of the people. . ,
.". ' THEY' DIFFER. ' '
Such Corvallisites , as tread the
Gazette yesterday were surprised to
notice that the paper denied' that
Candidate. Woodson is a bank , em
ploye. Here is the paper's denial:
"The Gazette has investigated the
facts and" found,, that Mi Wood
son is not an employe - at the bank
at all," . ;:. : :';- --. ;
The curious thing in the matter
is that in' several meetings on the
joint canvass Mr Woodson has pub;
licly admitted that he has been em
ployed in the bank ever since he re
tired from the law partnership. ! Al
so that the first work , he did' for
the institution was to make a list
of the record indebtedness of every
man in the county for the use of
the bank. .
The question is, why does the
Gazette deny this well known fact?
Why does it want to hide it from
the people? .
" Wanted. . .

(eon the ".WKind You Have Always Poam
EASY VIRTUE. . .
A spasm of virtue has suddenly
seized the Gazette, and in its last
issue the paper is ludicrous. When
an old harlot sits in her shame and
calls on virtuous people to be clean
it is time to laugh. It has been the
custom of that paper for years to be
intensely warlike in local campaigns.
It started out in war paint in this
campaign until its ownership was
laid bare by the proposal for a bond
issue, and for fear of injuring the
various businesses of the colony, it
suddenly grew docile. v -
' One of the Gazette's pet allusions
a few weeks ago was that the
democratic ticket "had too much
'Wat-ter' on it," " Another of its
dirty flings was a bold charge that
George Chamberlain is a toper, a
statement that re-acted because it
has . become ; widely known that
Mr Chamberlain is . practically an
abstainer. . "
Another specimen of the Gazette's
campaign is a vile thrust made at
certain well known nominees on
the democratic ticket because they
happen to belong to church. .Re
ferring to them, the Gazette said
April nth: - "
"Our . candidates (republicans)
are all worldly men, men of affairs,
They -claim no attributes op
deity, they are earthborn,
not children of the skies. no
HALO ENCIRCLES THEIR BROWS
THEIR GARMENTS ARE. NOT . MADE
of snow. .- A good hat,: and a suit
of clothes, part wool and something
less than a yard wide, purchased
from our local merchants, pleases
them better, and is- more becoming.
No gentlemen, the Benton county
republican ticket is not composed
of seraphs or CHERUBIMS., '
The above is probably the " first
instance in Oregon in which men
have been assailed in a newspaper
on account of their religious belief.
It was made in the hope of catch
ing anti-church votes, and in the
face of the fact that the national
constitution guarantees r to every
citizen the right to - worship God
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. .Never before in Ben
ton county have candidates for
office, because of their church re
lations' been " called ."seraphs,
cherubims, children of the sky,"
and such. - " . : -.
Yet the Gazette, draws its robes
about it and ! ' squawks about
virtue. - ' ." ' ; " - -..
. Howard Bush has made one as
sessment of Benton county,: and is
making another; He can make a
better assessment than any new
man can make. . It takes' time for
an assessor to learn values and get
the hang of things. ' It won't pay
to change horsea this time. ' '
The place to learn .surveying ia
on a railroad in -railroad construc
tion:; It is ' there that they have
surveying down to a fine point. In
five years of experience of that
kind,-1 where I he served, in "the
highest positions, Thomas Jones
learned prsctical surveying' that is
not only practical but reliable sur
veying. -: Mrr Jones ought to get a
large vote in CorvalliB, which has
been his home since he was seven
years old.
. v THERE ARE OTHERS.
Tlhe friends of Senator Daly,;
in urging his re-election set up the
claim that he is the only- man who
could secure liberal, legislation 1 for
the college. The claim; is unwar
ranted. No man has a monopoly
of legislative ability. - Besides, the
facts do not justify the claim put
forward by Senator Daly's ; friends
The Agricultural College is a
state-institution, and stands on its
own merits, and has . since 1889
One of the greatest fights ever
forced on the college was in the
latter year, and it was .successfully
fought out by the late Senator
Thomas Cauthorn, democrat, and
Representatives E H Belknap and
C B Crosno. Thev beat down all
opposition and secured an appro
priation of $41,900. -
In 1801, with C B Crosno as sen
ator and Judge Moor and - M T
Starr as - representatives, the col
lege received 32,000. In 1893,
with Crosno in the senate and E H
Belknap and S T Jeffreys in the
house, the college . appropriations
aggregated $28,000,' the vote being
unanimous in the senate, and but
eight votes against the measure in
the house. ' - "
In 1898, by house bill number
71. introduced by Rrepresenta
tive Nichols, r Mr Daly being in
the senate, there was appropriated
$25,poo. In the legislature of
1 90 1, house bill number four,' in
troduced by Nichols, Mr Daly be
ing in the seriate, appropriated
$20,000 and the sum of $25,000 per
year. Thus all members have been
effective in their work,' but the
records fail to reveal that Senator
DaljMias done more than the oth
ers, whether republicans or demo
crats, have done. While speaking
of Mr Daly's record, j it may be
added that he was the" only mem
ber in the senate of 1 901 that 1 vot
ed against the proposed memorial
to congress for election of United
States senator by direct vote. -1
As to college appropriations,
W O Heckert is a man of force and
identity, of capacity and genial
personality. If he be elected, Ben
ton county will be"well represented
and the Agricultural College will
move right ahead and be properly
cared for, in the way of such state
aid as it may need.
...... CAN DO IT. AGAIN.
The Oregonian two or three
days ago, stated that" Sheriff Fra
zier had 38 deputies Jn his office
in Multnomah county in tax col
lecting time, and that the salaries
of these depuites ranged from $75
to $150 per month. As by law
provided, the services of these de
puties' was paid by the county
court. In nearly every ' other
county in Oregon deputies in : the
sheriff's office are allowed by the
court and their salaries paid by the
taxpayers. The law says in effect
(see 1 895 Session Iyaws, page 83,
section 11) that if the service of a
deputy or deputies t isr necessary ,
the county court shall provide and
pay for same.' ' ' ' '
This matter ' is mentioned to
show how economical it is for Ben
ton county to have a sheriff, who
has demonstrated by his record
that he is perfectly competent, be
cause he is quick, ' active and ac
curate, to conduct the sheriffs office
without a . deputy. Sheriff Bur
nett has done this, and if elected,
will do it agairiJ i '
To sit right down abd think a
bout it, would it not be foolish to
turn down Victor Moses " and elect
Ji O. Wilson to tha clerkship VicT
tor Moses is poor and Off Wilson
is rich. If Victor ij defeated, he
will be out of employment. If Mr.
Wilson be defeated, he will simply
continue on his fine fatm, one of
the best in the- county, where he
has everything' that' mortal man
needs. Under the circumstances,
would it be the right thing to turn
down Victor? .
