Gorvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton County. fJORVAIXIS, OREGON, NOT. 4, 1003. HOLY ROLLING, The right of every one to wor- ship God according to the dictates . of his own conscience is a founda- tion stone of the American republicl Every child in the nation under' ' stands the principle and adheres to it. If a citizen chooses to be a xiuiy i.uiici (tuu iu luc pol ice of his religion, does not inter fere with the rights of others in the . community, he exercises a right that was sealed and made sacred to , him by the blood of Rrevolution 1 ary sires. If the destruction of fur- 1. .tiL. . .rila Cnlt-U 4-V.of is his own business, provided his debts are paid and . that the des truction of such articles is not to make of him or his a care upon the community. The deliverance of the articles to the flames may place .. the enthusiast before the commun- t ity as a curiosity or a freak, sub Vject to remark and ridicule, but that - uis own personal uusmai, auu a matter entirely beyond the concern of the public. If the Christian theory is true, and it is, every man must be answerable in the end for his own deeds. . If he chooses to till a cat because it seems to be a hindrance to his worship, it is no body's business, provided that it is not his neighbor's cat. If he burns the cat's body afterward,, that is . wise, because it is better sanitarily - and otherwise, that the -carcass be reduced to ashes than to fester and decay eitherjinorout of theground. . JFor every act done in the name of religion, then, the real and only test is, was it according to the con- science of the worshipper, and does : or does it not, by the leading into nnntttnrat influences or otherwise endanger the mind or body of ir responsible persons, or by tending to bring the ' worshipper or those , dependent upon him into want to the extent that they shall become a public charge. Such acts as suc cessfully run the gauntlet of this test are wholly private, and ought to be immune from the concern of the public. The right to practice acts so tested, and found to be le gitimate, is the heritage of every American citizen, and nobody ., has the right to abridge.' or take it ; away. '. . . - . It may be- seriously questioned if certain acts that have exercised . the oublic in Corvallis of late will successfully run the gauntlet of the of them are probably as orthodox as are the acts of a . distinguished Presbyterian preacher who certi fies that all his football players are bonafide students when he knows and everybody else knows they are . not. : A lie told by a preacher is - none the less a lie because be. : pro fesses religion. If, in ; the- mani festations of the so called God's annointed sect. Dersons of moder ate mental vigor are peing iea mio false positions, that is not a pro per worship, If the leaders of this sect, as may be possible, are by pro- Tesslon of superior godliness, play ing upon minds in such a way that there is delusion and folly, the practice stands convicted by the test. If two strangers, largely without antecedent and almost wholly unknown are leading weak women into a state of mind where -"there is more frenzy ; than ' reason, mote folly than sense, the condi tion is harmful. If these compara tive strangers, who call themselves apostles and claim to hold con stant communication with the Al mighty are subsisting wholly on - their labor of leading women and young girls into dilusions and un natural conditions, and .if in pur suit of that labor home ties are wrecked arid happiness driven away from firesides, great and ir f reparable wrong is committed. Many of the patients in the insane nsvltims become crazed on relieion. One of the easiest ways in the world for reason to be dethroned is in ov er pursuit of religious fervor. Rea sonable, welt known, and ; lofty minded men, rather than unknown, untested and ' characterless zealots should be the leaders in ; any new religious movement,- especially where it is of a character to which burning ind destruction of proper ty is incident, , - CrefEeld and Brooks may have true faith, but those who are fol lowing them to the bitter end are taking desperate chances, . , ALBANY SCORED. And OAC Didn't In Last Saturday's Game Special Excursion Train. Four coach loads of Corvallis people went by special train Satur day to Albany, and there saw the Albany football team score against the OAC' men, while the latter failed to seriously threaten . the Albany goal. The touchdown was made in the first few minutes of play, and after gaining it the play was fairly even, though it was most ly in OAC's territory. OAC fum bled five times in the game, in four cases Albany got the ball . The, first fumble was in one of the first forr mation OAC made in the game. It was within a few yards of her own goal, and most probably was the means by which Albany was able to score. Getting the ball three times on fumbles and at most op portune times, Albany was unable to score thereafter- In fact, in the last half the Albany players cos"?tan tantly worked to kill time, avoiding football formation as much as pos sible. The Albany team is a strong one but nobody this side of the Willamette believes the score re fleets the relative strength of the two elevens. The game was unin teresting to watch because of so much delay, especially in the last half by the soldering of Albany players. One of the officials was an Albany man, and on OAC s first fumble, he gave the ball to Albany, although Rinehart swears by all the stars in the sky that he himself captured the ball, and that the Albany player had no right to it. ' If Rinehart is right and he probably is, it was the Albany official that really won'the game, though as stated above there are excellent players in the Albany team, many of them, men of long tootball experience. Von der Hellen kicked to 20 yard line, and Albany run the ball in to her40 yard line.Albany got away for five and fifteen yards, and then rounded right tackle for 10 yards, and went through the line for seven and five yards, Another line buck clipped off four yards, and ten yards more around right end brought the ball to OAC's 10 yard line Here OAC made a stand and Albany lost the ball to her near the five yard line. Rinehart rounded , end for four yards on quarter back run and fumbled. Coates . was given the ball by the officials, and after three trials Albany went over the line for the only touchdown. Albany kicked to Pilkington who fumbled, but an OAC man got the ball on the -25 yard line Root bucked two yards and Williams went two around end., Pilkington straight bucked 10 yards and Wil liams cross bucked five . yards Pilkington got awry for a 12 yard run, and fumbled the ball to an Albany man on Albany's 50 yard line. Aluany got around end for 10 yards and by bucks made good her yardage. Spagle stopped a quarterback run for a loss, and af ter another down Albany tried a place kick from her 35 yard , line but failed. '. Nash was preparing for a free kick from the 25 yard line when time was called ; on the first half. i . " In the second half Albany kicked off and OAC muffed but recovered the ball. OAC tried , two downs and then Pilkington punted to Albany's 45 yard line. Alter two or three downs Coats got away with an Albany player off side in a 20 yard quarter back run. OAC took the ball on downs on her 35 yard line, and Bowers bucked five yards. Williams bucked five yards and Rinehart fumbled. Albany man got the ball on center: ' Albany i rounded right end for five yards and bucked nght side of the line for five yards. Albany, tried line for losses and punted. OAC took the ball on 10 yard line and Wil- i liams rounded end for three yards and Pilkington punted and Albany was down on 45 yard line. Albany tried the line for losses and Coates punted . to Rinehart who was downed on 25 yard line. Pilking-: ton after one down, punted to Albany s fifty yard line and Albany was downed on center. - Albany tried for no gains and Coates pun ted to Rinehart who was downed j on 25 yard line. Espey bucked three yards, and time was called with the ball in OAC s posession on the 30 yard line. J.eave your orders for oysters at Zier- olf's on Tuesday. FOR SALE.

Frances Fresh so Masqueraded Is now . with Sheriff at Redding Phone Mystery Solved. Saturday's Times told ' of how Miss Frances Fresh, late of Cor vallis, cut her hair, donned male attire, took a train at Hateey and beat her way to Sissone, California; and how the representation was made at Siseons that a certain OAC girl was there in distress. A letter trom a former Corvallisite, now at Sissons, written to - a relative in this city, tells more of the story, and solves the phoning incident, to which some mystery was attached. The letter runs as follows: "Sunday night, a girl, dressed in boy's clothes, with her hair cujt short, was put off the train here be cause ehe could-not pay her fare. I was down to the train when she got off, and instantly' it flashed to my mind that she was - not a boy. Her clothes were no dieguisp, aa her form told on her. Well, ehe knew Corvallis like a bonk, as well, indeed as I do. ' "The next day, Monday , she came to me, and told me all tlese things; that her name was Lucile Roberte, of Hood River, Oregon, and that &he was a student at OAC, and had left school last Friday night- She said hr father's same was C. G - Robt-rts, She knew many people in Corvallis whom 1 know. She siid that she was ready to go home, but that she had no money, and wanted me to telegraph to her father, ' C. G. Roberts at Hood River, which I did, but Mr, Riberts wired back that hisdaugh tsr was at OAC, -When I told the girl what the answer from Mr. Roberts was, she said ehe had fixed it up with a girl friend at OAC to answer the . tele phone for her, if Mr. Roberts should call her up at the college, as he oc casionally spoke over the telephone to her I surmised that , ehe was lying, but telegraphed anyway te President Gatcb at Corvallis, and his reply-was tnat Miss Roberts was at OAC. The girl was actual ly tbeeuwet thing in the way , of lying I ever sw, "The girl is now in Redding, in the custody of the sheriff. Among the papers she left here was a cer tificate ot membership ia the Chris tian church at Corvallis, issued to Frances Freb, and signed by Mr. Lihville of kCorvallie." . ; , ; AGAINST SALOONS This Writer is He " Says it Coes not Pay to License Them. Does it pay to license saloons for the purpose of paying expenses of municipal government? Many business men are in favor of licen sing saloons for the purpose of pay ing salaries of city officers, keeping up streets and making other city improvements. 5 '. : They are m fayor of allowing al cohol to be offered in an attractive manner to their friends and .neigh bors. . Not only to the habitual drinker but also to the one who is trying to stop drinking the death dealing, poverty making, mind de stroying stuff; but whose willpower has been so weakened that he can not resist the temptation when it is placed before him. Also the young man who has never drank, but if he forms the drink habit it forever closes to him the best business op portunities. This is one side of the question. ' , Another can be illustrated by two incidents which lately came before my personal observation . One man showed me a ' twenty dollar gold piece which he said would pay his j debts to two Corvallis merchants. He went home drunk "with no money and his debts "unpaid. Another young man was working in the country and was paid off with forty dollars. He went : to Corvallis to buy a suit of clothes and other necessaries and he said ?the balance goes to mother." In a few days he returned with no new clothing, no money sent to mother, and another man had hisjobv There are two sides to this ques tion and on only one does it save the tax payer money, but does it pay? . - Anti-Saloon Tax payer.
