Corvallis Times
CORVALLIS, OREGON,
JJRIDAY EVENING MAY U, 1906.
YES, FOOLISH.
s long as a farmer bas a good
experienced man, he will not, while
he continues to need a man, dis
charge him and hire an inexper
ienced hand of uncertain capacity.
That would be a foolish thing to do.
Victor Moses is perhaps the best
county clerk in the state of Oregon.
Telt Burnett is probably the best
sheiiff.in the state. There are
simply none better than these two
most excellent and most faithful
officials. Each knows the intrica
cies of his office, each discharges
every duty without error and at
the least possible cost to the coun
ty. In all frankness, how foolish a
thing it would be to set either
aside for inexperienced men. What
farmer ever discharged an entirely
satisfactory and experienced hand
in order to make a place for a green
one. Just as a simple, straight
business troDOsition, would it not
be a mighty foolish thing to turn
down Victor Moses or Telt Bur
nett.
ROOSEVELT AND DEMOCRATS.
The old threadbare argument
that the election of a democrat to
office would discredit the adminis
tration at Washington, was the key
note of the republican meeting in
Corvallis Tuesday night. It was
the one and only thing to mar what
was otherwise a genteel and laud
able assemblage. But when it is
by speaker after speaker, hurled
into the faces of an audience that
a democrat wont do, that his elec
tion to office would be a calamity,
tnat ne is a scourge ana bngat on
society, the gentility of the occasion
degenerates and its symmetry and
social charactar is marred.
The good repute of the Roose
velt administration no more de
pends on who is justice of the peace
in Florida, or who is elected to a
state office in Oregon than it de
pends on the equally remote ques
tion of whether the posthole in
which the northpolewas originallyset
was punched or bored. His admin
istration speaks for itself, and the
question of whether or not it is a
republican or a democrat elected to
office in Oregon has no more to do
with it than the question of whether
or not the successful candidate be a
a Methodist or a Baptist. The
truth is it may be depended on that
Theodore Roosevelt does not ap
prove of the ship subsidy bill, and
it is notorious that Senator Fulton
a republican, voted for that bill and
that Senator Gearin, a democrat,
voted against it. The Portland
Oregonian is hostile to the subsidy
bill, and in that respect is out of
tune with Fulton and in complete
accord with Senator Gearin. In
fact, it is an even chance that any
democrat who comes out of the
shuffle elected is as likely to be as
good orja better supporter of Roose
velt's policies as hi opponent,
These are days of men and prin
ciples and the brand of the man
elected to office is the last thing the
people are looking for.
However, the insistence that the
election of a democrat would
discredit the Roosevelt admin
istration, will, silly as it is,
go on through this campaign.
It is used as sop or syrup to catch
republican voters and is in fact an
insult to their intelligence. It was
used three years ago, and again
two years ago in the interest of
Binger Hermann. He had been
dismissed by the administration
from office; but politicians shouted
themselves hoarse declaring that to
elect anybody else than Mr. Her
mann would.discredit Roosevelt.
Well, they elected him. Today
he is under indictment, a congress
man from Oregon wearing the brand
that the criminals wear, slipping
'. around the corridors and dodging
up to the clerk's desk to draw, his
salary, doing this, only this, and
nothing more". And, they said,
when he was a candidate, that to
elect a democrat, rather than him,
would discredit Roosevelt and the
republican administration.
THE INSTITUTE.

ing the way for many great move
ments.
In the evening, Mrs. Additon
gave a lecture touching the econ
omic side of the temperance reform,
and the value of the local option
law. She spoke warmly of the for
ward step taken by Benton county,
and rejoiced in the marked improve
ment of the city.
Wednesday's session was opened

lifting Bible talk on ' 'Tested Prom
ises." A paper on "The Great Hindrance
to Mission work" was read by Mrs.
McGinnis, and was full of import
ant facts.
Mrs. Additon gave an illustrated
department talk, showing methods
and plans of work.
Mrs. Swann spoke on the effect
ive use of literature and urged the
use of it.
The afternoon session was open
ed by Mrs. Herbert, followed by a
review of the work of the church
in abolishing the liquor traffic by
Rev. Bush.
Mrs. Emily Lumm read a paper
on "Health" which deserves wide
circulation.
Mrs. Nash of Portland, read a
pleasmg paper on civic improve
ment. A letter was read from the

J. C TAYLOR.
His Death Occurred Thursday
Morning.
After an illness of four years,
James C Taylor passed away at
10 o clock Thursday morning, May
10, 1906.
Deceased had been a resident of
Corvallis since 1870. He had come
in contact with all classes of Ben
ton county residents and it would
be superfluous to undertake to make
an statement as to the esteem in
which he was held by his fellow
citizens. Still there are these in
Corvallis and vicinity who heartily
wish to commend the generosity of
Mr. Taylor under the most un
auspicious circumstances. Jim Tay
lor could always bz depended upon
to do his duty, as he saw it, and
his view in such matters was not
narrowly circumscribed.
The funeral occurs at the Taylor
home tomorrow at 2:30 o'clock.
James Taylor was born in Frees
port, La,, December 16, 1850. In
1870, he came to Corvallis with his
parents and other members of tbe
family. With his father, he at once
engaged in butchering and applied
himself to the business until three
iyears ago when he was compelled
to abandon it on account of failing
health. Mr. Taylor had provided
against the uncertainties of life -so
far as possible. He was a member
of the local lodge of K. O. T. ' M.
in which he carried insurance to the
amount of $2,000. He was also a
member of the A. O. U. W. , in
which he carried a policy of $2,000.
Mr. Taylor's surviving near rela
tives are, his wife, a daughter, Mrs.
Alex xennie, ana a son, iJyron; a
brother, Dr. t,. a. ravlor, and a
sister, Mrs. E. H. Ledger wood.

HERBOLD THE MAN.
Is to Coacb State College Football
Team This Fall Contract Signed.
Fred Herbold, who successfully
developed the same team four years
ago, is to coach the O. A. C. foot
ball team this fall. His selection
was made by Graduate Manager
Bert Pilkington and the engage
ment was sanctioned by the athletic
committee of the faculty. The con
tract was signed Wednesday morn
ing.
Many" well known football men
from Eastern institutions were ap
plicants for the position, notably
men from Yost's famous team at
Michigan, and men from Pennsyl
vania, Harvard, Dartmouth and
other colleges. No man knows bet
ter the capacity of men or has a
better' faculty for getting every
thing out of his players. He took
a raw team . four years ago, after
football had been out of vogue at
the college for two seasons, and led
his men through a brilliant season,
making the best showing that has
been made by an O. A. C. team
against the state university since
1897. r This fall's team at O. A. C.
will have to be made up for the
most part of new men, as nearly all
the old veterans are gone. : There
are nearly 500 young men, many of
them husky lads, to select from,
and as Herbold can break in colts
with as great celerity as any coach
living, it is probable that the com
ing season will not be disappoint
ing. THE W. C T. U.
It Makes a Call for Additional
Help for San Francisco.
Each day which goes by empha
sizes the necessity of additional aid
to the distressed of San Francisco.
Few persons in the vicinity of Cor
vallis realize the extent of destruc
tion by earthquake and fire which
came to the California metropolis;
and it is difficult to conceive of the
vast necessities of such a city as
San Francisco. The justifiable ex
pectation of aid for the city is not
naerly ended. and for a considerable
time to come there, will be' a call
upon the generosity of the people
of the United States, if indeed, we
are not compelled to call upon the
bounty of other nations.
Among the organizations which
realize the true conditions is the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. The Union has established
a supply depot in the city and it is
expected that the movement will be
seconded by all the subordinate or
ganizations of the country. The
Corvallis Union has fallen into line
and an efiort is making to do its
part in a meritorous movement.
Clothing is one of the things which
the local Union will make an efiort
to send to the stricken city. Cor
vallis people generally have already
contributed to the relief of San
Francisco, but there is a call for
further sacrifices. Let each ' house
hold get together the things which
may be of use to our distressed
neighbors; phone to Mrs. Crees and
the supplies will be called for. Ar;
tides of clothing should be in re
pair. A. snipment is to be made in
a few days.
