CorvalHs Times. Official Paper of Benton County, OR TALUS, OREGON, FEB. 85, 1903. 7 MR. SCOTT AND HIS PARTY. re-re- When a joint assembly of a publican legislature in Oregon, jects Harvey W. Scott for the sen atorship, the spectacle is akin to amazing. It is no disparagement of Mr. Fulton to say that Mr, Scott has done more for the republican party in Oregon than has any score of men in it. For forty years his great ability has been spent in the promotion of republicanism, and in converting disciples to its faith. He has not only given the best years of his life to the party, but he has, in addition laid at its feet a great newspaper with which its battles have been fought and its victories won. It is a fact so pat ent as to be beyond cavil, that to the work of Mr. Scott and his Ore conian is due the fact that within twenty five years, Oregon has been transformed from a democratic into a cure rermblican state. The char acter that ,he has stamped on that newspaper has been such that it "hue P-yprfpd a commanding in- flnpfv that has been effective in drawing recruits to the republican party.- It is unquestionably true that if, through all these years, Mr, Smtt had elected to conduct his newspaper in the interest of dem ocracy, the republicans in the state would be in the minority, and that in the places of many of those re publican members who repudiated lim for senator, there would have been democrats. It is wholly and practically probable that but for the implements of war that Mr. Scott has constantly kept in the hands of the republicans ot Oregon, the senator elected by the late joint as sembly would have been, not a re publican, but a democrat. , Indeed, whatever of prestige the republican party has in the state, . whatever of preferment its partis ans enjoy, Mr. Scott and his paper gave them. Whatever loaves they have divided, his toil and talents supplied. If ever there was a con dition in which a party organiza tion from sheer gratitude was in debted to an individual, it is mani festly, signally and unquestionably . true in the case of Mr. Scott. His brain, his canital. the 'influence of his paper, his life-work until he has. reached that period in his career where reward is already long overdue all these have been un complainingly and constantlyllaid at the feet of republicanism in Ore: gon. A , reasonable regard for the service he has rendered his party in the state,, should, when his name was presented as a candidate at Salem, have .dictated his election by an ; enthusiastic and unanimous vote. ,-! ' i Of other considerations that ren dered the rejection of Mr. Scojt surorisine. there are many. A senatorship is not merely for the securing of bounty from govern ment for communities, but for com batting and solution,, of intricate and -weighty problems,, national and international. It is : not for the bestowal of .patronage upon favor ite supporters, but for nice ad justment of the relations ,of .so ciety so far as legislation, cpn order them, so that the greatest good may come to the greatest number. It is not for yielding obeisances and support to measures because the party boss orders it for partisan ad vantage, but for shaping and mould ing nationaljpolicies for the nation's highest good and the welfare and glory pf all the people. It is com mon knowledge that in all these re quirements the veteran Oregon journalist would have been, in the completest sense, a senator, the peer of the best, and an honor to Oregon. ' THE SENA TOR ELECT. , Oregon might have made a far worse selection than Charles W. Fulton for senator. The fact that he is a resident of Astoria in no sense unfits him for the place. There was never any merit in the contention of the Multnomah dele gation that the fact that he resided out of Portland made him objection able. That was only the sharp ruse of politicians who desired his defeat for the reason that they wanted some other person elected. - The fact that Portland already has one senator, eliminates any claim she may have for another. Indeed, there is much of Oregon outside of Multnomah county and it is not out of reason that, both senators might with perfect justice be chosen from other parts of the state. In his speech of acceptance, Mr Fulton promised that he would prove to the Multnomah delegation that he would do Portland full jus tice. That pledge, he will keep. It will be his desire and his purpose to keep it. It will be his business to keep it for not to do so, is to in vite political annihilation. , . . ' Besides he is the sort of a man to perform his pledges. He has good ability, he is declared to be scrupulously honest, and ; will un-. doubtedly render the state that has honored him so highly, the very best service that lies within his powers. ) WANTED TO SHAKE HANDS With Rev.

The Grange met early in the morning so as to finish the regular business before the time set for the parents' meeting. A large attendance of grangers and school patrons was present at the opening hour. More parents were present than at any other meeting hitherto held at Fair- mount. The. grangers show their willingness to further this educa tional work by putting forth extra efforts to en'ertain all visitors. The patrons and teachers left nothing undone tbt would add to the suc cess of the undeitaktcg. v 1 he day was spent and all pro nounced the object of the meeting attained.

Gen. Pass.Agt S. P. Co- Lines inOregon Portland, Ore. David Howard, known to many Sbout town as a wood sawyer, is in the insane asylum. He is the man who was burned out. of house and home last summer, and whom con tributions of citizens and insurance money enabled to rebuild. He was taken to the asylum Saturday. He has been in poor health for two or three months past, so much so, that most of the time he has been unable to work. Thurs day, suspicion was directed to his case, when Howard called at Dil ley's and wanted to buy a revolver. It so happened that . two years ago Howard talked to Dilley about killing himself. Dilley remember ed the incident, and when he asked forV it Thursday, the weapon was refused Howard. The question of suicide came up at the time and Howard, after explaining that, the pistol was wanted for killing a dog, said he himself might as well be dead, that his family - would be better off by reason of the $2000 they would get from the Modern Woodmen, of which he is a mem ber. He was lectured earnestly on the subject of his supposed inten tions by Mr Dilley and Joseph Yates, during the half hour that he remained in the establishment. - The next heard of . Howard's suicidal predilections was the: fol lowing day, when Rev. Moses ap peared before the county judge and entered a complaint that the man was insane. It seems that early Friday morning Howard had ap peared on the river bank near the ferry, where he had pulled off his coat and for a time seemed -, to be about to jump in. Apparently changing his mind he put on his coat and left, but about 10 o'clock returned. Again he pulled, off his coat and seemed about to jump in, when a second time he determined on another course. This time he went straight to Rev. Moses- and told him that he was going to com mit suicide; that he had already been down on the bank of the river for the purpose of jumping in, but while there he had determined to go and shake hands with his rev erend friend, before taking the leap. The entry ef-fhe complaint, an examination as to sanity, and the comittment to ' the asylum re: , suited. Save in the particulars setrl lortn aoove, nowara appears sane enough. Howard has been for a long time a hard-working laborer about town.' mostly sawing wood and piling it in sheds for a living. There is pathos in his case. Basket Social. The brotherhood of St Paul is the name of 'a new organization whose membership comprises the men of the Methodoist church in this city. It is a fraternity with kindred brotherhoods in all states in the union and in Canada, The basket social held at the Richland School last Friday eve ning for the benefit of the school was a grand success. An excellent program had been prepared with much care by the ; teacher,- Miss Corlie Starr. The patrons showed their enterprise arid public spirit by attending.. The children aud others assisting deserve much credit for their efforts. ; At the close of the program the baskets were sold and the sum of $50.20 was raised. ;This is to be used for the ' purchase of an organ.

Jit eerbard, An editor, who promised to tell the truth in just one issue, of his oaoer wrote uo a wedding as fol lows: MarriedMiss Sylva Smith and James Cranahan last Saturday at the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary girl about town who doesn't known any more than a rabbit" about cooking, and never helped her poor mother three days in her life, and is not a beauty bv a lone shot, and has a gait like a duck. The groom is known as an up-to-date loafer, and has been living off his mother all his life, and don t amount to , anything no how. They will have " a' tough time of it, and , we withhold con gratulations for we don't believe any good can come from such marriage." An hour after the paper came out the editor met the bride's broth er on the street. He got both eyes blacked and lost half an ear in that encounter. On the next corner he met her father, but "heine out of condition, sued for peace. But there was no peace. . The father's voice was for war, and the editor retired from that scrap with seven teeth and the end of his nose mis sing.. Then a feeling stole over him that there was no place like home and with the best haste that he could summon under the circum stances he hurried to seek shelter under his own vine and fig tree. It was the bride, backed up by her mother, the groom's mother and thirteen female sympathizers that met him at the next corner. They were armed with brooms, scissors, pokers, kettles of hot water, which they brandished and flourished as they approached. "Oh! you blackmailer; you liar; you villian; you horse thief," he heard them say. But the spectacle was too much for him. He knew it was useless to hoist the white flag and sue for peace in the pre sence of that kind of foe, and with a glance Heavenward ana a prayer on his -lips for forgiveness for hav ing once told the truth in his paper, he sank to earth in a dead swoon. When the ladies had finished, all that was left of the wayward editor was hauled home in a wheel barrow. The p :per did not come out the next week. A note on the door re lated that the editor was confined at home with a very severe cold,, but that it would be out as usual next week. - . And so it was. And the leading article said that on account of great haste in eoing to press in a former I issue, and by reason of certain ty pographical errors, grave blunders had been made with reference to the wedding of Miss Sylva Smith and Mr James Cranahan: "'This love-! ly and fortunate couple," the paper continued, ' 'are a son and daughter in two of our most distinguished and wealthy families, the bride be ing a most estimable and popular young lady and a leader and fav orite in social circles. ;The groom is one of our tnost talented young business men and there is general rejoicing over the union - of this most fortunate young couple." $5-od shoes for $1.90.
