' : ; OUR RIGHT TO BE PROUD."
In a special message to congress
"atreinsr reciprocity for Cuba, : Presr
.dent Roosevelt says of that young
-republic: . .: :. :- ? .
"Our soldiers fought to give her
freedom, and tor three .-years our
representatives, civil anu miiitaty,
lave toiled unceasingly,"- facing,
disease of a peculiar . sinister, .and
"' fatal type with patient, and - un
complaining fortitude, to teach her
liow to use aright : her . . freedom;
Never in history , has any alien
country been thus administered
tvith such high integrity of pur
pose,': such, wise judgment, and
such a single-handed devotion to
the country's interest.,: Now I ask
that the Cubans be given ' all pos
sible chance to use to the best ad
vantage .the" freedom of which
Americans have such right to be
proud and for which so many Am
erican lives have been sacrificed."
If as the president says, - "The
"Americans have such right to be
proud" of the . freedom ot Cuba,
would not ' the. Americans have
equal "right to be proud" of such
freedom for the Philippines? " If
our part in securing freedom and
"independence for the - Cubans is a
virtue ot moment nousrh to be
lauded in a presidential message to
congress, then would not the .ul
timate bestowal ' of freedom and
independence" upon the brown man
of the Philippines also be a na.
tional virtue . deserving laudation
and public congratulation? Is not
"the soul of a human being still a
soul, whether it be ".. inside . the
brown skin of a Filipino or the
lighter skin of - a Cuban? - "Is not
, freedom as precious on Philippine
. soil as on Cuban soil or -American
soil? And would we Americans
not have "such right to be proud
of the freedom' 'we- should estab
. lish on the one soil as on the' other
Is there any doubt-that our ul-
.the Filipino - -self-rule " and independence?

GRADUATING DAY ,
And the Thinks "That Took Place
A Memorable Occasion.
Wednesday was graduating day
at the college. ' It was a day. of
peace and - beauty . . - -Nature did
everything possible to add to the
scenes in which 32 graduates were
added to the. world. t -
The exercises were in the Armory,
and began at 10 a m. X They ended
before noon . The programme" was
superb. ' It had for- star:' features
an eloquent and excellent'; address
to the class by. Dr Wise, f- rabbi at
the'Jevyish synagogue at Portland,"
and . several vocal selections, by
Mrs Walter Reed, the well known
Portland , .vocalist. ; These with
other features made the Occasion
one of the most agreeable of the
kind that has been seen at the col
lege. - - .-".: PCW-;
Twelve hundred or 1300 people
were in the audience. Many were
visitors from abroad, of whom there
is apparently an increasing number
each year. - "Among others present
were many farmers and their "fam
ilies from the surrounding country
homes. , . . - - . :'
Inside the Armory the air was
redolent with the perfume of flow1
ers. A long table jiear tne stage
was laden with bouquets for the :
graduating class. - Through the
open windows came ' the songs of
birdsJn adjoining - woods." Pink
streamers hung from the ceiling
and evergreens hereand there, with
potted plants and ferns - about the
stage lent beauty to the scene; -
The programme opened with the
invocation by Dr Thompson, whose
familiar figure on the stage was a
welcome sight to - his many . Cor
vallis friends. -: A vocal number by
the St Cecilia Club followed and
then Miss Gertrude "Ewing, salu
tatorian," gave an" oration " entitled,
The Unification of the- Anglo-.
Saxon Race. " - She - idealized Ce
cil Rhodes and hi? work in South
Africa as the beginning of a move
ment for Unification of the English
speaking people.' Ultimately, she
said, the two hemispheres . would
tap their cymbals . in a ' common
union. -" In the course of his -ad
dress Dr Wise took occasion 'to dif-

HAVE A CLUE ' y
But the Long Start of the Guilty Party
Makes Capture Unlikely. .
How a check was passed at the
Corvallis Flouring .Mills - by . some
unknown rogue, was told in . Wed
nesday's Tisis.-The officers know
more now about the case than, they
did then. - They : know that - two
men were concerned in - the game.
One of them got the blank check
to which the name of Gus Harding
was subsequently, at the home '.' of
Mr Harding-.. He got -the! check
of Mrs Harding. V She ""gave him

house for one. -- , - - v . -
7 The same -man applied -at -JRieh-.ard
-Kiger's for a blank check," but
got none. ; He-, also - bought - two
pounds of soap : at Granger - store,
and wanted to pay with a check,
but it was not accepted by the
proprietor of the establishment; : -The
man who passed the bogus
check is not the man who made
these inquiries.1 Sheriff Burnett
who with Officer Ffett has been, in
vestigating the case is nowconvinc--
ed that there were two. men, in the
transaction. ' He is certain that the
the blank check borrowed at Hard
ing's is the one that , was cashed at
the milL Whether the- man who
borrowed 4t, or the man who cash
ed it is the one that forged the 'sig
nature of Mr Harding is . the. ques:
tiou. The inability to - get ? any
trace of the second party to ' the
game is occasioned by the long
education that aadbeen given them, j -

fer with Miss Ewing' s view and de
clared Cecil Rhodes to" have been
a monumental failure. He , sub
sequently apologized to. the " young
ady; who explained that she had
changed her mind , with reference
to Rhodes after the " oration was
written. -
" . John: E Smith of Stolk county,
was valedictorian. : His subject
was ''The Gospel of , Discontent."
The young man is a Socialist. He
said nothing can remain stationary.
Complaint and discontent is the
beginning of all change. Discon
tent with existing ''- conditions or
methods had always been the cause
of invention, discovery and . the
evolutioii of society in its rise and
development. . The fall- - of." every
nation was traceable to a cause,
and while "in minor respects these
causes differ, the ultimate " reason
lor national decadence , was con
centration of wealth in the ; hands
bf the few. .A-;-- : P'- v:'w:-i:
That concentration'is now going on
iCthis country and it is danger
ous. "Men must rise to arrest - it,
and td raise the level ot hilmanity.
A double vocal nu mber - by M rs
Reed followed the valedictory. The
appearance of the singer on the
stage occasioned a burst of v ap
planse. - Few singers . have power
to charm her hearers as- does "Mrs
Reed. Few voices so delight those
who listen. - At the close of her
second number she was called back
and she. responded : graciously with
a song that delighted all:
A number net less pleasinglo . ell
than Mrs Reeds singing,' was "the
oratorical effort of Dr Wise. . The
reputation of Dr Wise as a platform
speaker had preceded him, and much
was expected. .-None who. heard,
were dissappoihted. Deep original
thought, "a superb delivery, - a fine
presence; a magnificent voice, beau
tiful .diction,. all these are at" the
command of jr , Wise. His theme
was "Vision" He meant he said
by vision, the faculty of seeing the
goal and then . directing effort to
attain it.... ' He might fail, obstacles
might -appear, but with ' the mark
kept steadily in view the traveller J
would at last attain it. - The ques
tion of whether or not our "nation
would survive depended on the vis
ion of those who pilot it -The vis
ion we have of the brown man inthe
Phillipines must be that he is not" a
subject to be exploited, but a broth
er to be educated, to be given self
rule, and ultimate independence. .
The object of the state in educa-
tin vounesr people is not to
make scholars and pedants, but to
make scholarly men .andwomen for
the better servicethey would be able
thereby to render the state.. " -.
The address was too comprehen
sive for adequate idea ; of it to be
attempted here: It was full of help
ful suggestions and practical signif
icance. It closed with a fervid and
eloquent appeal to the young people
to make the best of the talents . and
Captain Geary" Died There A Monu-
' ,- ment to his Memory Unveiled at
'7:rj: : the. College! ...
. The life and death - of " the .late
Captain W oodbridge Geary, once
commandant -at . the " Agricultural
College was brought, - to mind ; by
the unveiling of a tablet in his
memory . at the college . Tuesdays af-
ternoour'" The tablet is of granite
marble, and is 22 x 32 inches. It
is set in the stone wall at the east
entrance of the" Armory building.
The ceremony-": of unveiling" was
simple. .. Major Frank Edwards
presided, and opened tne program
m a brief address m which he paid
a high tribute to the public" serv
ices and private life of the lamented
dead. A poem was recited by
Thomas Bilyeu, and then Robert
Withycombe unveiled - the tablet
accompanying the ceremony with
appropriate remarks. After a
brief memorial address by B F- Ir
vine, ndgar lulley recited "lhe
Bivouac-of the Dead" and the pro
gramme" ended. A large number
of people was present, - V" -'
Woodbridge Geary was., born in
Xinn county, Oregon, July 10,
"1857.,; His literary education was
obtained in the public schools and
at Albany College. He left -the
latter institution without " taking a
degree, to enter West "Point Mili
tary Academy, from which, he : was
graduated with honors.: in the
Eighties. , As' a lieutenant in v the

ice in the American - army then
moving on to Cuba, and subsequent
ly, with his regiment, he passed

. :
... Eleven months afterhis depart
ure 'from Corvallis,' he returned
for a brief visit with his family,
prior to his departure- for the Phil
ippines.: On the" field of Malabon,
October 11, 1899, he was killed fn
battle. The mournful event - .hap
pened, .whiie Captain Geary was
leading his men in - a - charge on a
line ' of Filipino entrenchments.
When he fell on the field, and-; his
men hastened to his side, he said,
"Don't mind me boys; f go to the
front!."-. He died. at. three . o'clock
the following morning. In the de
lirium .that , preceded" his death,,
the dying soldier pleaded constant
ly with his men to go with him to
the firing line. . - -:
Present at the unveiling and a
mournful observer of the ceremony
was Miss Geary, a sister of the
lamented dead, -who came from
her home at Astoria to attend. . .
