KMAN FOR REPRESENTATIVE. Democratic Central Committee Hade No Nomination Indorsed Pratt for Superintendent. . '. . Apparently, the ' county " demo cratic ticket is to trot through the present campaign without a candi date for representative. At the time of the convention no candidate appeared, and the place by vote of the delegates, was left vacant for the central committee to fill. : Since then the matter has drifted along untii a meeting of the central com mittee was held. At that time, the meeting adjourned without a nomi nation. The last day for getting a name on the ticket was yesterday, or 30 days before the election, and m consequence the republican and prohibition nominees - will have.. , a straight heat without a democratic running mate. The latter are Virgil A Carter republican, and B. E. Emerick prohibition. Other features of the central com mittee meeting, were the election of Samuel Bane as County chairman, the acceptance of the resignation of Grove Peterson as candidate for schcol superintendent and the in dorsement of S. I. Pratt, indepen dent, for the place. The resignation of Mr. Peterson is as follows: InivaleOre., April 17. 19x54. To the Democratic ' Central Com mittee. Gentlemen; On account of the serious and continued illness of my wife, mak ing it impossible for me to canvas the county and my presence at home a necessity, I feel compelled to de cline the. nomination 'for county school superintendent, tendered me by the late democratic convention. I wish to thank the members of the convention collectively and in dividually for their expression of good will, and confidence in my fitness for the office. Very Respectively, Grove A. Peterson.

Its Causes Discussed by a Portland Newspaper. Portland Oregonian The Ccrvaliis Times, possessing the advantage that comes from per sonal knowledge of the subject treated, and of the conditions pre cedent and leading up to the late tragedy in Corvallis, makes a plain fair and candid statement of lacts in the case, which the community at large may well ponder. In tbis view The Oregonian gave space to this statement on its editorial page Monday and hereby commends its perusal to those of its readers who have overlooked it. It is plain from the facts presen ted it ehould be plain without the preliminary presentment of such facts tbat a community that can not, or will not, or does not control its boys is likely at any time ti be shocked into a sense of its . moral and legal delinquencies by a tragedy that brings sorrow to some ot its members and disgrace and humilia tion upon all. Corvallis but for the "gang"- of which the Times speaks the fmerjubers - of which, including Chester Keady, who lost his life a week ago while- resisting arrest had been a terror to orderly boys and the public generally for the past two yeaie, is a quiet semi- rural town. Its people have not (taken seriously the lawless acts of Vi q tvAnn" fhntinrh QDnnritinir trt to the testimony of events, these have been serious enone., " con trary, the peace fpn f KSS vn have been wrought upon uy p'ubVc sentiment to iguore these lawless acts as far as possible, and when arrests have been made and penal ties have been inflicted the officers have been censured and the release of the'culprits demanded and se cured. It is no wonder under such conditions that saloonkeepers do not hesitate to sell liquor to minors; that officers hesitate to arrest mem bers of the "gang" when caught in the criminal act, or. that-the town marshal, findiogjthe leader of the "gang" drunk., noisy and at bay, pietol in hand, followed him from 6treet to street, coaxing him .and ,pleading with him to go home at tbe risk of his own life, instead of taking measures tosubane him and land him. perhaps wounded, in jail. - - V it is a lact well known to every country schoolteacher in any un ruly district that parents who do not control their own children strenuously object when anyone in subsidiary or supplemental author ity attempts to control them.. The old days wherein a boy who got a whipping at school was careiul to conceal the fact from his father lest the d'scipline at . school ehould be duplisated at: home have receded into the dim and distant paH. .The modern method of dealing with such a case is to swear out a warrant for the teachers arrest for assault. This change illustrates aptly the senti ment that permits in it inertia, or resent when it is aroused, a num ber of vicious half "grown boys to become and remain a pest and a menace to the community . uutil the limit of forbearance or of peace ful expedient is reached by the peace officers and one . or more funerals results. , The Times sounds bravely a s'rong and clear note of warning to the peop'e of Corvallis. Summing up its vigorous presentment of the con ditions that led up to the tragedy of a week ago it says: '"There should be henceforth . throughout Corvallis a common agreement ac knowledged and approved by allr that, first, no saloon man shall sell liquor to a minor; second, that the roaming of the street by boys and hi odiums at night will not be toler ated; third, tbat officers be vigorous la tbe prosecution of offenses a- gainst the law, and that all the peo ple stand behind them in tbat poli cy." And when it is added that more tragedies, more funerals, more tears, more evil' repute abroad, are in store for the town if the citizens continue in the future as they have 10 the past to be divided, uncertain and wavering on tbe question of what conditions they desire on the streets, and to what extent of sever ity they want the penalties of vio lated laws enforced," tbe leseon is individual and community respons ibility is eo nlainly stated tbat no one cm mistake its meaning.
