Corvallis Times Official County Pape. CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 3lf 907 If not why? There is a duty the public owes the Rural Free Delivery service. Tt is an obligation likewise due the government. The news of the day through the columns ot the papers, and business and social letters are, by the rural mail Service, laid at the door of farm homes. No mat ter how violent the storm or how arduous the task, the carrier faith fully makes his rounds and gives to the farmer folks their daily budget of mail. It is a conven ience that removes the former iso lation of farm life, and, with the rural phone brings the country population into immediate touch with tbe busy hum of civilization. It is a boon of inestimable benign ity, and a convenience of incom parable value. It is an agency for wider education, arid an influence ior spread of civilization. It is buildtDg daily for a better citizen ship, and for a happier and more comfortable life. For it all, but one return is asked by the government that gives this service, and that is, . roads capable of at least moderate convenience in traveling, in ; any season. Do not the people owe it to the government and to the service, as well as to themselves to make these roads what they ought to be? Is there one who is a beneficiary of this ser vice, who will say "no?" Then, why not do it? Decoration Day. It is a day to soften and mellow mankind. Even to those who have no loved ones in the city of the dead, its appointments bring hallowed and kindly reflections In thoe who, in a labor of devo' tion, lay flowers over the spot where sleep those loved and lost, it awakens memories that shut out for th day the hard realities of life and open up contemplation of the best and beautiful. - The children. , the flowersn "tbe music, the grizzled heads, the silent marble, -they are eloquent of something besides the cares and toil of human life,?-They . arouse emotions that leave a sweet iinjpress on every soul,-and make the day one of noble influence,' not only for its devotion to the deacl, but for its bettering effect on the living. No holiday in the national life is more to be ' commended, or more bountiful in its legacy of good. . Her Foes Within. , There is a perverse element in San Francisco, that makes that town forever in ferment. Even the graft phobia seems not to be the worst phase of social life in that earthquake-wrecked, fire-swept, graft-bedraggled and mob-ridden city. It is the San Francisco mob that lays as heavy a destroying hand on the place as does any 01 the other evil agencies. The latest phase of the senseless follies ot this element is the persistent attacks on Japanese residents, nothwithstand ing the promise of a can Francisco delegation to President Roosevelt at Washington, in return for Japanese exclusion, that the little brown : men would hereafter be protected in their treaty rights, a privilege to : which they are by every consider i ation of good faith entitled. If the ; California authorities are powerless to quell the foolishness, they should xsay soand let the president carry out his remarkable threat ' to send ' an army and navy to San Francisco to make the disturbers behave, a 1 proceeding he may yet be justified '.in inaugurating. -- - .

Spread Civilization and Carry the News R. F. D. men in Council. The mail service, particularly with reference to the rural free de livery branch, was the key note at a banquet and meeting held in this city Wednesday . evening. How the free delivery has brought coun try lite into immediate touch with the daily throb of civilzation, how it is becoming an educator of the people, how it is an agent for the betterment of public road and how it is a splendid influence in arrest ing the drift of population to the over-crowded cities, was set out in several brief addresses, delivered by people in the mail service and others. The occasion was the meeting of the Rural Carriers association, em bracing the district of Linn, Ben ton and Polk, and fifty persons, mostly from abroad, were present. Postmaster Van Winkle, and Assist ant Postmester Powell, of Albany, Postmaster Eckman and an R. F. D. man from McMinnville, Post master Johnson and the Corvallis R. F. D. men, the assistant post mistress at Monroe, and carriers galore participated in the proceed ings, which" transpired at the post office. , After the meeting there was a banquet at Wiley's . with covers for 44 people. Twentv one persons of tne party with Postmaster Van Winkle at their head, came over from Albany in a tally-ho, and re turned after, the banquet, leaving Corvallis at two o'clock a. m. The program ai ine meeting was as ioi-m lows.: Music, male quartet: address, "Purposes of the R. L. C. Associa tion," H.. M. Cumming, president; remarks, J. S. Van Win tie, post master, Albany; music, male quar tet; some suggestions for Rural carriers, F.. M. Powell, Assistant postmaster, Albany; Some remarks, wise and otherwise, B. F. Irvine; music, male quartet; some pointers for postmasters, B. W. Johnson, postmaster, Corvallis; song, Albany postoffice force. x he spirit of the occasion was an urgent appeal to carriers to render the best possible service, and sug gestion to' postmasters to afford ev ery facility and to attach great im portance to the R. F" D. service. The object of the carriers associ ation is in such a direction and the meetings are held quarterly for in terchange of experiences and ideas looking to the betterment of the service and the improvement of the condition of those engaged in it. There is a state organization of the carriers, which meets : in Portland, next week. There are . 1 89 routes in Oregon, and -nearly 40,000 m the United States. The pay of the carriers was formerly , $400 ; per year. x hat was 10 years ago when the first roate was establish ed in one of the eastern states as an experiment... By advances since, the pay has been increased until beginning the first of July it will be $75 a montn, witn a vacation 01 15 days on full pay once a year. ' Henry Cumming, carrier on R, F. D number 3, Corvallis. is presi dent of the local association and. the meeting reflected great credit on him and his associates. The next meeting of the association occurs at Albany early in September. TO GIVE SACRED CONCERT.
