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.

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
