Newspaper Page TextCorvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, -FRIDAY EVENING MAY 18, 1906. THE GOVERNOR-GENERALS. In the good old days of Peter ; Cartwrigbt, an expression in com mon use among the people was "crowding the mourners," and it would seem that the artful plotters who fixed up the bill of fare at the late republican primaries, have cer tainly "crowded" the people ' who reside outside the city of Cor vallis. Just for the sake of fairness and in the general interest of the taxpayers, should not the majority of the county court come from the body of the people and not be cen tralized in Corvallis. The city by its charter and local government has control of its own special inter ests and business, and constitutes a road district within itself. It pays for its own roads by special tax tm der its charter and is completely In- deoendent of the balance of the i - county. E. Woodward for county judge, on Fourth street, Corvallis, and G. W. Smith for commissioner on Eighth, one in ward number 2 and the other in ward number 3 in the citv of Corvallis,- and both in a road district not amenable ' to the general laws of the state, in the event of their election would place the people of Benton county in the position of having a majority of a court running its business affairs and vet residing in a road district not within the laws of the county; to say nothing of the managing of all . the public roads and bridges of Ben ton . While the city is full of great men, competent men for any pub lie trust, it is no where recorded that Corvallis has anabsolute mon oply in the production of public men especially designed to run the roads and bridges as well as the fiscal affairs of Benton county, par ticularly that portion outside of the county seat. Why, in justice to those who reside in precincts other than the four in Corvallis, should the body of the county court be taken from the second and third wards of the city for managing, out side business, and that in view of the fact than a considerable portion of Benton is outside the corporate limits of the city. Is Benton coun ty a Philippine province to' be gov erned by governor-generals from Corvallis? What good reason can be assigned, and who will assign it, stating wby a farmer from Phi lomath precinct and asesteemed citi zen of the town of Philomath had to be thrown down to make room for a commissioner from Eighth street, and a judge from - Fourth street, Corvallis? . Since it is a matter, not of cleri cal or mere ministerial duties, but of actual governing; and of govern mg the territory of the who!e coun ty except Corvallis; and since con trol of the court is involved in the election of the governor generals trom Eighth and Fourth streets, outside taxpayers will naturally raise questions as to the fitness that would in no sense attach to other county officers. E. E. Wilson for county judge, resides outside the the city limits of Corvallis but has substantial interests both . without and within the towD, while Pau: Dodele tor commissioner, is a Soap creek tarmer. How appropriate ly and how fittingly the candidacy of boh must present themselves to outside taxpayers when contrasted with the close Philippine corpo ration on Eighth and Fourth.

Father Writes" a Letter Tells how Half Grown Boys Reel in Corvallis. It has always been understood that one must go away from home to hear the news. In the Argus, volume 1, number 28; published at Albany, dated at Corvallis, and signed "Father," appears an ar ticle in which some of the statements will be startlingjn the way of news to Corvallisites. . in nis article, Father" states that he has always been opposed to saloons, and that he voted for a dry town at the last election, and that he and "hund reds of others" are going to vote for a wet town now. Here are some of the things "Father" says: "When the saloons were running herey we had little or no trouble to keep liquor away from minors. The saloon keepers dared not to sell it to them, because by so doing, tney risked having their licenserevoked. Today, young and old drink treely, and the habit has spread among the minors to an alarming extent. Let me say right here, to the surprise of many, the local option law is being well observed. I do not think that any man can buy a glass of liquor in town. At least, so I have been told by persons well informed. But the quantity of. liquor that is being shipped in to individuals has been growing until today, it is no exaggeration to say that more liq uor is being used in the town than when saloons were running. .Then we were never compelled to gaze upon the awful spectacle of half grown boys reeling along the streets under the influence of liquof This is now no uncommon sight. "I was taking to a professor of the college the other day and he told me that drinking had increased among the college boys during the last year. We had one of the most orderly towns in the whole Wil lamette Valley a couple or years ago, but now, just walh down Main street on a Saturday evening and see for yourself. . The saloons were driven out, but a worse condition exists. In jest, men say here, that four saloons were closed but one was opened when local option went into effect; the one opened is the express office." "Father's" statements are print ed here as a matter of news, so that Corvallisites can read some of the things that are being circulated about their town. The misrepre sentations are so gross that they are thcr own denial. The overstate ment is bound to react, md to damage the cause in which they are published. If there is - such person as "Father" in Corvallis the brethren had better keep him out of print or Benton will go dry by an awful majority. It is a safe guess that many of those who op pose a dry county d not want their locality painted abroad in the col ors that "Father" gives it. "Half grown boys reeling on the streets," College professor's declaring that "there is increased drinking by college boys" and kindred state ments in "Father's" article are things that it is almost certain that even the former local saloon keep ers do not approve.

Ihat being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex penses. Very often a few cents properly in vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctor's bill of several dollars.
