CORVALLIS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVENING DEC X2, J905.
. r THE NEW SENATOR.
An ' Uppermost thought' ' with
Governor Chamberlain in naming
a senator should be the fitness and
qualification of the man whom he,
is to honor.' In arriving at a de
cision, the question of the appoint-;
ee's politics, is a matter of the
very slightest "consequence. That
was the rule fellowed by : the peb-,
pie of Oregon 'when ' they ' exalted
Citizen Chamberlain to the execu
tive office and the drift of events
has proven that they made no mis
take; for though it is- a democrat
at " the head ; of ;i'the state
government, elected by republican
votes, he has never; in the weigh
ing; been found wanting,
"'In the continued' faithful -: ' dis
charge of the duties of his position,,
it falls to his excellency to now
make a move freighted with very
- larere'responsibility, and before makr
ing a final selection every extran
' eous and minor consideration should
be stripped from the candidate and
the appointment be made to - turn
on the test: is he honest; is he ca.-
pable; is he the man for the place;
above all can Tie do' more at Wash-r
ington for Oregon, than can any
' other man suggested? That is the
'- test Governor Chamberlain should,
and doubtless will, apply. If the
appointee, named by this test,
" chances to be a democrat, so much
the better; if not the wisest and best
SEnig-wHrhave been done.
; JUDGE SEHLBREDE.
'- A political incident of the week
is the appearance of a new repub-
j Iican candidate for governor. He
! is Judge Sehlbrede of Marshfield,
once a member of the lower house
at Salem, and later a government
official in Alaska. - Judge ' Sehl
brede announces his own platform,
! and makes its main plank hostility
' to1 flat salaries foT state officials. He
says the law is unconstitutional and
proposes, if elected, to upset the
- statute if it can be done. ,
' His announcement ought 1 to de
feat Judge Sehlbrede for the ' nom
ination. - The principle of flat sal-'-aries
i3 correct. A public office
- ought not to be a haven where fee-
" grabbing offers' emoluments in ex
travagant and unreasonable 'sums.
Offices bloated and swollen with
official fees make fbrdiity politics by
appealing to the mercenaries' and
drawing them into position. Eight
een or twenty thousand dollars a
year for a state officer is : public
plunder and yet in his proposed
destruction of the fiat salary law
' that is exactly what Judge Selh
brede declares for. His selection
of an issue will do much to "save
Judge Sehlbrede the bother ot be
ting governor.

Possibly it has not occurred to

there isr something quite as Impor

SIX TO FIVE.
The Score In " "Saturday's
Football Game Collegians
'Left the Field
" Six to five was the score in the
football game at Portland Saturday
and the one point -that won the
game went to r' Multnomah : and
against OAC. The game was not
played to a finish because, Dr.
Steckle, disgusted with the tactics
of Multnomah players, called his
men from the-field a few minutes
after the second half' opened. 4 It
was a - regrettable occurrence, ' but
the action of "Dt. Steckle and his
men was cheered by ; three-fourths
of the grandstand arid the side lines
and s. far as known;-' is approved
by all Corvallisites who saw it, and;
as well as- by all who have heard
the story of the occurrences as they
happened. People swarmed around
the OAC players as- they - passed
from the field to the dressing room,
and showered words of cbngratUla-1
tiori npon them.: - At the hotel and
in the streets many members of the
Multnomah club warmljr congratul
ated Dr. Steckle, Captain Root and
all the members 01 the team upon
the incident. There were a few
hisses from the Multnomah rooting
squad of 15 or 26 boys and men
but the demonstration in that di-;
rection was very feeble. '
It was a merciful act for the spec
tators when the OAC men were
called from the field. ' From the be
ginning, tae game was character
ized by wrarigliug,' bulldozing of
officials and interminable delay. A
common sieht on the -field was the
whole' Multnomah launch swarming
aroUnd the officials, disputing;
shaking their fists and thundering
'out their disapproval of decisions
or plays by the College men. The
display of hoodlumism was so rank
that 200 or 300 people left the
grounds, disgusted, at the end ;of
the first half , declaring that they
would never attend another foot
ball game conducted by the present
Multnomah1 ' team. It took an
hour and a half to play the first half
of only 30 minutes, the - extra - time
being employed almost exclusively
m wrangling, - ragging 1 and bad
temper. Captain Root says- the
Multnomah men wrangled more in
that one thirty-minute half than all
the other teams in the seven games
that OAC has played this season,
It was to stop a proceeding ? that
was not football at all, but a traves
ty on the game 1 that Dr. 1 Steckle
signalled to his men to quit the
neld. J it was not because 01 any
particular decision, but in a gener
al protest against the tactics, foul
ing and tomfoolery that the action
was taken.
The close of tqe game had some
of the dramatic in it. In the kick
off at the opening of the second half
Root booted the sphere over the
goal 'line. The ball on the return
kick by Multnomah was run into
the center" of the field by OAC. Af
ter two or three downs Emily with
a good interference got away for a
30 yard run and carried the ball to
Multnomah's 20 yard line. - Then
bedlam broke loose. The whole
Multnomah bunch swarmed around
the'officials, each with his beak in
the functionary's ! face with both
fists beating the air and jabbering
wildly, lnis lasted tor two mor
tal minutes. "Play ball; play ball,'
shrieked the grandstand for the
hundredth time. "Play ball: play
ball, echoed back the sidelines while
the jabbering and jesticulation went
on. The OAC men were in a group
surrounding the ball - on Multno
mah's 20 yard line, wkile the game
of jawbone and jabber was running
its weary length near the center of
the field. Tired, worn and wretch
ed, the officials stood silent "while
the storm raged round them. After
a long, long time the referee, "ap
parently with unwillingness, mech
anically raised his arm and signall
ed for the College boys to bring
back the ball. IIundreds of voices
in the grandstandiaiid l"bn the side
lines shouted.''no.'.' The Colleg
ians hesitated a moment. A well
known voice along the sideline rope
called them. With Captain Root
in the lead they 'Walked to where
Dr.3 Steckle4 stood; passed under the
rope and started for the club house.
Through the crowd, in -the grand
stand there ran1 -first a L murmur of
approval and then a burst of em
phatic applause which was caught
up by the 1,000 people on the side
lines. The shadows of the evening
were already settling; and. to have
ended the gafneln v daylight with
the interminable delays, continually
manifest would have - been impos
sible. - It was' as .well, probably
better from the spectators stand
point for the travesty on the sport
to end.
Meantime, the Multnomah play
ers stood in a group on the field.
A crowd of men soon surrounded
them to ask for explanation. Then
the grandstand emptied, the big
crowd moved and the attraction
continued on page 4

the work to be done by the Sum
mit and Blodgett people, of whom
there are in all about 36 persons
who will be members of the. com
