Corvallis Times CORVALLIS OREGON, IRIDAY EVENING SEPT. 28, J906. HEARST. Every man who is aggressive for the public weal has enemies. There are those who fatten off of special privilege at the expense of the many, and he antagonizes these. He threatens that which they con sider their preserves, and they growl and strike back. The rich ice trust magnate, or coal baron on Wall street is enraged when any man challenges his right to plunder the public. When William Hearst attacked the coal trust and the coal railroads in his newspapers and sub sequently brought suit against them in the courts to compel them to live within the law, he bearded lions in their lairs. He prodded them with gads and smote them with clubs. They are, of course, his bitter en emies. When, in his publications, he fought the New York gas trust to its knees and exposed and de nounced the ice trust of that city, he sent the gas barons and the ice barons into the camp of his enem ies. When through a long series of years, he continually and con sistently advocated better hours, better conditions and belter remun ation for labor, he added those who fatten off of cheapened labor to his mortal foes. When he de tected, then exposed, and then whipped to justice and oblivion the big insurance thieves, they and their friends and henchmen became fighting recruits in the camp of his enemies. Men, Jerome with his vaunted virtue did not dare to pros ecute, towit: The ice thieves, the coal thieves, the insurance thieves, Hearst lashed and whipped with relentless fury. Regardless of his motives or of his life in other respects, in all these things, Mr. Hearst was right, and those he fearlessly assailed, wrong, It was from those he thus antagon ized that the denunciations of Mr. Hearst came in the Buffalo conven tion. They do not want him for governor, because in that position Mr. Hearst will be the more power ful to undo the wrongs they daily heap upan New York people. Every voice raised against him in that convention was the voice of a special privilegist or nis hencnman or hanger-on. Every denunciation and every invective hurled against him was a good reason for Mr, Hearst to be named governor. He may be deleated at the polls, but that is no sign that he ought to be, Tomorrow night there will be a minstrel performance at the Opera House. On the outside during most or all the performance, there will be a congregation of half a doz on to two dozen boys. X our or five of them will be not more than a dozen years of age. Of' course they either ought to be ins'de the show or inside their homes. More of the boys will be 15 or 16 years. They, too, ought to ba inside the show or at home. The condition is one for parents to think about, It is one for council men to think about. It is one for the police to think about. It is a condition that ought to be abated, for mischief breeds at just such gatherings. Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California says sim plified English wont do and that in order to appreciate the Bible and Shakespeare we must continue to spell it, p-l-o-u-g-h, plow, etc. And why not, to make the appreciation of the Bible and Shakespeare still better also spell it, s-o-u-g-h, sow? It is reported that Lawyer Her rin of the Southern Pacific who runs California, thinks of taking a hand in manipulating things in Oregon. Bosses of that kind haven't fared well in Oregon of late and if Mr. -Herrin comes and gets gay he might land with the rest of the buuch at McNeil's island.

Champagne cider that has been on sale by the drink at the Gem cigar store has been put under the ban by the city authorities, and its sale ordered discontinued. The suspicions of the officers were arou?- ed by observing occasional drunks. and a little attention developed the fact that much of the intoxication came from the cider. The wide popularity of the drink also excited more or less curiosity. It was no ticed that minors as well as men carried it around in their pockets in pint flasks, after the fashion of pure and unadulterated booze. At last a man was found who was 'or yide" as the boys call a first class case of drunkenness and the cider was located as the cause. A bottle of it was taken to the chemists at the college and an analysis showed it to contain 7.32 per cent alcohol, or more than twice as much as beer, more than the light wines, and about one-sixth as much as whiskey straight. As soon as the report of the chemist was re ceived Chief Lane immediately is sued orders, and the stuff has been withdrawn from sale. It is manufactured by a soft drink establishment in Salem, and it is the belief of the officers that it is especially prepared for dry towns. Mr. J. Mon Foo, 'an experienced com pounder of Chinese medicines, successor to the late Hong Wo long, of Albany, Oregon, is now prepared to furnish Chi nese medicine to all. The undersigned recommends him and guarantees satis faction. Call or write him at No. 117 West Sec ond Street, Albany, Oregon. Jim Westfall. House to House Canvass.

Lived Formerly Near Corvallis Grew From 100 to 165 in Four Months. Walter Miller is dead. He is the boy, formerly of the vicinity of Corvallis, who manifested such ab normal growth. From a little boy of 12, weighing 100 pounds, he became within four months a man weighing 165 pounds. His case was described in the Times about a year ago. " He lived then on a farm a mile or two across the Wil lamette. Besides his growth in stature and weight, there was a change of voice incident to the transition from boyhood to matur ity, and in addition a growth of whiskers. The growth beean in Marchlast year, and by July the changes had all taken place. The boy was taken to Portland and there the best medical men of the state puzzled over his case. It wa3 finally concluded that the unusual conditions were due to an ailment of the brain. The pathetic part of the story is that the abnormal physical devel opment was attended with corre sponding loss of strength. After a time, the lad became unable to walk, and the past year was con fined to bed. He died a day or two ago at Oregon City, where the family moved from Corvallis last winter. FOR SEWER CONNECTIONS. Ordinances and Penalties Movement for Enforcement of Connections. A stiff ordinance, providing for making connections with sewers was passed bv the city council at a meeting Monday night. It pro vides certain requirements that must be observed in making con nections, and establishes a penalty for violations of its terms. It is supplemental to a former ordin ance on the same subject, and its passage leaves the citizen in a bad plight if he fail to comply with its behest. What is more important in this item of news is that the sewer com mittee reported to the council the owner every house in town that is not connected. This, was done after a speech by Mayor Johnson in which he declared that these connections must be made, and that if the sewer committee would re port tho?e who are failing to com ply, he would see that the ordin ance is entorced. - At Saturday night's meeting the full list was read, among them being several leading citizens and some of the city officials. The demand of the mayor for the list of unconnected houses and his declared purpose of insisting that connections be made would seem to be a fair warn ing to all delinqnents to get busy, WHO DROVE THEM? A Gray and a Bay Horse? and Got Hay From the Bndine Warehouse. Who was the driver of a Gray horse and a bay horse when a call was made the other morning at the Bodine warehouse? That is what W. M. Dinges wants to know. Three bales ot good hay went off with that gay and that bay horse, and without the leave or the knowl edge of the owner of the warehouse. The call was made at seveu o' clock in the morning. Mr. Dinges had opened the house, and returned to his home on an errand. As he approached th warehouse on the return, he heard a team and wagon that seemed to be driving rapidly away. He made haste to reach the place, but hVd to pass through the building and out on the other side to get a view of the vanishing team. He got out in time to see at some distance, just turning east a gray and bay horse, attached to a wagon with three bales of hay in the wag on. Mr. Dinges has since learned from another man that the hay was loaded from the warehouse into the wagon, but he did not know, the owner of the outfit. Mr. Dinges wants to know, a well as an ex planation of why the haste, and why the hay was taken without leave. , FOR RENT 7 room house on 6th street and piano for rent.

It is kept on hand contin ually in our home," says W. W. Kearney, editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every family should do. When kept at hand ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has become settled in the system. This remedy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon aa the 'child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand.
