CorvatHsTimes. Official Paper of Benton County. . BOBVAIXIS, OREGON, APR. 25, 1903, AFTER MASON AGAIN. PortlandJPapers Won't let him Alone Not Dead This Time. TO OPPOSE ROOSEVELT, The news from Washington is that some of the trust magnates are indignant at Roosevelt on ac count of the merger decision, and they will seek to overthrow him at that nominating time next year. It is to the credit of Mr. Roosevelt if the magnates make war against lim, and it ought to lend him .strength. The Sherman law, un- - der which the Northern Securities merger was nullified, was in ex istence during the latter halt of the Harrison administration, under the second Cleveland administration, and under the McKinley adminis trations, first and second; but it re mained for the administration of Roosevelt to permit the law to be enforced. If for this, Mr. Roose velt is to be set upon by the barons of Wall street, it then becomes the j " dutv of the country to rally to his support. , Members of his party at least, should stand by him to a man, for the fight made on him is for a simple discharge of duty, and he should not be allowed to suffer for it. On the same account , and in the same way, it will be strange if Ore gon republicans, when the presl dent is already under fire from the trusts, will by insisting on the el ection of Hermann administer re buke to the Roosevelt administra tion. It was in the discharge of a duty to the public that Secretary Hitchcock and the president retir ed Mr. Hermann, from the commis sionership. And it will indeed, be a mighty hard rap at the president and his secretary, if the republic ans of Oregon send Mr. Hermann back to Washington, clothed with new powers, and in position to con tinue m congress the difficulty to avoid which, the department had finally to remove Mr. Hermann from office. Whenever trust , magnates or , others, line up against a president ' or a cabinet " officer because of a duty done, it is time then for ev erybody to stand by the president and his officials. Whether it be for effort to protect public lands, or for enforcement of a law against an unlawful trust, the president has a right to expect that those in whose interest he has done his duty, will likewise, do an honest' duty by Jnm.

Herse, Corvallis, Or. 1 Portland papers 1 recently got Chester Mason 01 (Jorvams into a Portland morgue, and had him for several days as dead as a doornick. Then they tried to have him buried but all the time Chester was , in Corvallis, and afraid to venture into Portland to explain that he was stall alive, tor tear they would ac tually shove him into the grave any way. It finally turned out that the stiff they bad in the morgue wasn't Chester at all, and since that, the latter has breathed free, there is a world of comfort sometimes in know ing that one is not the cold, dead thing on the undertaker's slab. Another tack has been taken, however by the Portland papers, and here is what one of them said Wednesday: Pile as a ghost from the use of morphine, with scarcely a vestige of his former self, Chester Mason, son of the most wealthy peoole of Corvallis, Ore., faced Municipal Judge Hogue this morning on a charge of theft. He stole a pair of shoes from the Portland mission and was arrested last night by Pa trolman Mallett. - "I am willing to plead guilty to any charge you may place against me," said Mason. He had been in the city jail cell all night, and hav ing been denied the use of, the- ter rible drug for which he had thrown himself away, appeared to be suf fering torture indescribable. "Suppose we should place a char ge of theft against : you?" inquired City Attorney Fitzgerald, who knew him from boyhood. "I enre not what becomes of me" was Mason s sad reply. "But if I have any wish above another, it is that I be permitted to leave this city, that I may hide from all those who have known me in the i past There seemed to be a disposition on the part of all concerned to deal as lightly as possible with Mason, as all who know his life's history express much pity for him. He was therefore given a suspended sentence ot 60 days in the city lail, with permission to leave Portland and never return, Thanking the court in eloquent and well-chosen words, betraying his early training, Mason tottered out into the street, a, most dejected mortal. Mason : was born in Corvallis Ore., of wealthy and highly respec- tea parents. He was a handsome specimen of -manhood, and had everything that heart could desire. How he become addicted to the morphine habit, hone but himself knows, but he has continued the use of the baneful poison until death literally stares him in the face. 1 he united eflorts of his parents and friends failed to stay him from his depraved appetite. About three months ago Mason was reported to have died, and every newspaper in the state chronicled, the supposed event, telling how morphine had robbed one of Oregons most cul tured and handsome sons of life, and how he had been buried in an obscure spot in a country cemetery. But it was all a mistake, for Mason is still alive, though it be little short of a living death. WANTS TWO BUILDINGS. One in North, and Another in South End of Town for School Children. .'' A Corvallis business man is on record for a new school building on the district's block in the south end of town and another in the north end, both to be used for primary pupils; "Build both structures so they can be added to as the future needs may require." he said. "The policy of a central school and but one is wrong," he continued. "It gathers too many children togeth er." The little children' should be to themselves. In ten years the population of Corvallis will double. Then a central building and accom modation for all, will be impossible. The way to do is to plan for the future, not for the present. This businessman is one of the heaviest tax -payers in the county. He is al ways a large contributor in mat ters of public enterprise. What is your opinion about it? The Times is ready to print it.
