HARVEY W. SCOTT.
Mention of Harvey W. Scott as
a possible aspirant for the senator
ship from Oregon, and along with
that mention a contemptuous fling
as though there were something
wrong if Mr. Scott should so aspire
is a thing occasionally encounter
ed in the newspapers of Oregon.
The why and the wherefore of the
fling in the premises, is a condition
difficult to understand or explain
Why should not Mr. Scott aspire
to the senatorship? Wherefore
should other men have free scope
to desire public preferment, and
that blessed privilege and frequent
boast of American citizenship be de
nied Mr. Scott? If Mr. Scott has
done something in his lifetime that
renders him ineligible to the sena
torship, what is it ? Is the fact that
he is and has been these forty years
editor of a newspaper, something
to disfranchise him from office, and
that ought apparently to send him
to the penitentiary ? Has Mr.
Scott's influence and pen been all
these years a miasmatic poisonous,
yellow effect, blighting the growth
and development of Oregon; or has
it been all this time an influence,
helping to build up Oregon, seek
ing to promote and develop all the
interests of the commonwealth and
striving to pilot the state into a
higher, nobler destiny; and is icfor
this that Mr. Scott should not dare
to be mentioned by his friends for a
great office? Is it the fact that, for
years, the Oregonian, as conducted
by Mr. Scott, has been everywhere
recognized as the greatest newspa
per in the West, and Mr. Scott as
the greatest editor in the West,
are these things to incapacitate Mr,
Scott . for public preferment
and to make of the remote possi
bility that he might be asked to ac
cept place the occasion for a fling
Mr. Scott is a national figure as
an editorial writer, and his paper,
for years, has been known and
quoted from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, and from the lakes to theGulf ,
It requires brains and great mental
calibre to seize and hold such a po
sition, and yet it does appear from
the references here spoken of that
these things are not assets for
senatorship, but a positive handi
cap.
Mr. Scott is apparently a man of
probity, honor and unsullied integ
rity; for during forty years of semi
public life, in a calling that peren
nially invites criticism, there has
been no scandal, no charge, no ac
cusation, no breath of dishonor
against his name; but honor and
probity apparently are not, in view
of late developments in Oregon, as
sets for a senatorship, and therefore,
Mr. Scott is disqualified. Three of
those whom the people of Oregon
set ever themselves and sent to
"Washington as lawgiyers are dis
graced, three indicted in the courts
and two convicted and condemned.
Is it the talents these three had
that are the real assets for senator
ships from Oregon, and it is by that
token that Mr. Sco,tt is ineligible?
If so, it is well; for Mr. Scott's
present position is far more emin
ent, far more full of honor and res
pectability than a senatorship, even
with the occupant a man of purest
integrity; and yet, being a product
of Oregon, a part and parcel of Ore
gon, and albeit, commensurate men
tally with Oregon, it would be per
fectly fit and beautifully appropriate
that he should be, as he ought in
thelogic of things to be, the united
choice of his party in Oregon for
senator, a position that he is large
enough to completely fill, that he
is statesman enough to have a
just conception of, and that he has
talents enough to perfectly adorn.
THE POULTRY SHOW.
Splendid Array of Birds Better Than
Last Year Some Awards
Made.
The annual poultry show given
by local poultrymen opened at the
Opera House Thanksgiving morn
ing and will continue over tomor
row. The entries are 53 in num
ber and comprise more than 500
fine birds. They come from all
parts of Oregon, some as far away
as Victoria, B- C. Long rows of
show coops extend the full length
of the Opera House, and are so
numerous that the stage is called
into requisition to accommodate the
overflow. They are filled with
magnificent birds of every variety
of hue from spotless white to sable
black. Many people are in attend
ance, and the interest in awards is
great. The scorer is Elmer Dixon
of Oregon City, and he goes from
Corvallis on a like errand to Los
Angeles, California, as soon as his
work here ends. The show is the
best thing that has been seen in
Corvallis In a long time, and ev
erybody should see the birds, be

IS IT TRUE?
Cannot Accused men get a Fair Trial
in Benton Who Says They
Can't.
Can men accused of violating the
local option law get a fair ..trial in
Benton county ? Some people say
no. Those who are signing the
change of venue affidavits say so.
They not only say so, but they
swear to it. The statement. of
course is a pretty hard one to make.
Few men who take an oath to try
a case according to the law and the
evidence would perjure themselves
by not giving a defendant a fair
trial. To do so would be dishon
esty of the worst type.
The question is. are the citizens
of Benton county so affected? Are
they really dishonest enough not to
give an accused man a fair trial ?
Another question is, would they
be willing to perjure themselves in
a case wherein the defendant is on
trial, not for murder, not for felony
but for a simple misdemeanor?
Those who sign the affidavits to be
used in asking for a change of ven
ue, in the accusation they bring
against their neighbors in the coun
ty, make a serious charge. It is
not often that one neighbor is ready
to allege that another neighbor is
willing to perjure himself in order
to convict an accused man. It is
not often that one citizen of a com
munity is ready to swear on oath
that the people likely to sit as jur
ors m the county are not honest
enough to be trusted in the trial of
a liquor case. It is seldom, if ever
the case that men think the citizens
of some other county are more hon
est and more competent for the
trial of cases than are the citizens of
their own county. Thus, for in
stance, it is understood that the
Kline lawyers want to take the
Benton county liquor cases into
Lincoln county, and accofdingly,
the affidavits that local citizens are
signing must in effect contend that
fairness of mind and honesty of
purpose is abundant in Lincoln
but mighty scarce in Benton. That
is why there are people who have
a curiosity to see who it is that are
signing the affidavits for Kline's
lawyers. They are curious to know
who it is that is ready to swear that
the main body of jurcrs in Benton
county, would forget their oaths
when they went to the jury box,
would throw aside law and evid
ence in the trial of the Kline cases,
and in short, perjure themselves
outright because of, nobody
knows what.
Aside lrom the simple curiosity
in the matter, there is little or no
interest in the cases. Kline and
his flunkies declare they sell no
more liquor. It was because that
formerly they sold liquor in appar
ent open defiance of the law that
there was interest in the affair.
When the late trials took place and
the men who had seemingly defied
the laws were convicted, interest in
the matter largely died out. If there
were a justice court trial of one of
the cases tomorrow it is doubtful if
there would be half a dozen people
to see it. The thing that made
former cases of unusual interest
wa3 the astounding proposition
that saloons could not run but
Kline's club could. It was a decla
ration that- though the law said
liquors couldn't be sold, still they
conld be sold in Benton. They
created a condition that caused
Kline's club to be a thing of new
interest, just the same as a manwith
four legs would create especial in
terest to curious people. The main
interest that now exists is that law
shall be law, and that if anybody
violates it. punishment shall follow.
That is accounted by good people
a virtuous interest, and one that
need not necessarily occasion per
jury and dishonesty in the jury box.
A strange feature of the propos
ed change of venue is the propos
ition that Benton county should not
be allowed to deal with her own
lawbreakers, but that the latter
should be tried in Lincoln county,
or some other place. It would
seem that Benton ought to have
the right to regulate her own af
fairs, and if it comes to the pass
where she cannot deal with those
guilty of misdemeanors and petty
offenses, that right is denied her.
It onght to be hers and her peoples
to say whether or not Mike Kline
shall run a club in Corvallis, and
not the right of Lincoln county or
some other county to decide that
matter for Benton,
