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.

THE LATE TRAGEDY.
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.
