Ik 3 THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1890. THOMPSON'S VOTE. OS THK COLLEGE BILL DEFENDED. A MERIT ED REBUKE TO UNJUST CRITICISM. Editor Gazette: The Jast issue of the Corvallis Times contains an article by M. L. Pipes which is a great surprise to me as it must be to all his friends who have hereto fore admired his very candid and logical style of writing, and proves that one cannot support the cause of an unworthy person without taking on himself part of his un worthiness. The article "referred to is entitled "Thompson's Posi tion," and the writer undertakes to make votes for Governor Pennoyer by drawing conclusions unfavora ble and unjust to Mr. Thompson because he did not vote for the appropriation for the Agricultural College in the last legislature. Mr. Thompson fully and. I believe to all but Mr. Pipes, satisfactorily explained why he did not vole for the appropriation. He was willing to vote for any reasonable amount to any public school but did not think it safe to endow a college with money belonging to the peo ple while a suit was pending in court which would decide whether the state or M. E. Church, South, should control the college with all its funds. Many warm friends ol the college shared these views with him, and every lawyer in the state except Mr. Pipes knows that the suit then and now pending will decide not alone who shall control thirty-five acres of land but who owns the Agricultural College and all its endowments, both state and n.itional. Now, as there is only one lawyer to convince of this fact he shall have his own language for proof, lie says "It was already the suit, of the state. It involves the right of the state to control the Agricul tural College and its fund-;.1' This admission, too, after he had just said, "The lawsuit is about the old ; college farm and the money appro priated, or the property purchased by it, could not by any possibility be reached by the judgment of the ourt in favor of the churih.15. Again, he argues that as the bill contained an appropriation for defraying the expenses of the suit and Thompson did not vote for i! he was opposed to the state pnying such expenses. In other words. lecause Thompson did not vote for a bill giving $35,000 to a college whose title was in dispute, and which would be entirely lost should the decision be adverse to the state, lie would have opposed a bill for an amount sufficient to de fend the state in its rights. Oh, Pipes! "Who hath bewitched you" that you reason thus? You know there were grave doubts entertained by the best lawyers in the state as to the result of this pending suit and that Thompson but acted the part of a prudent business man when he said, "The title of the college should be deter mined before making it a large appropriation." You also know that fears as to the result of the suit were entertained by the mem bers of the legislature when, as you say, a provision was put in the bill that the money should not be spent on the thirty-five acres of land then belonging to the col lege. Now, suppose the decision should be as that provision in the bill admitted it might be, what possible use could the state make of a farm in Benton county without the college? Thompson's record shows that he has always been a patron (not a Pennoyer friend) of the public schools, and he but showed by his. vote on the college bill his usual business foresight and caution, while our democratic senator voted against Pennoyer's celebrated veto on the water bill that he might secure assistance on the college bill even if there were some chances to take .as to wheth er the state would.be benefitted or not. It seems that Governor Pen noyer, by exhibiting a strong and peculiar personality, has so demor alized the democratic press and party in this contest that one sel dom reads a candid article in the former or hears a trnthful state ment from the latter. May we hope that this will cease with the defeat of Pennoyer and that we may see the. dawning of the truth at. the closing of the campaign. G. A. Waggoser. DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUNDS. The Times publishes a tissue pf falsehood from Barney Goldsmith about money being used by re publicans, which for pure, out rageous lying beats all former rec ords. The facts in the case are that every republican knows that scarcely enough money has been furnished by the central com mittee to defray the usual ex penses for printing tickets etc., while the democrats have, by levy ing heavy tribute on every mem ber of the party who holds an office or has employment on any public works, Hooded the country with boodle with which they ex pect to secure the election of their ticket. As a specimen of this virtuous party's action on the boodle question, read the follow ing from the Orezonian of the 28: A few days azo Chairman Gold- j smith, of the democratic state j central committee, issued a letter warning people that the repuoli- cans wouiu use a "saciv in me election. According to the ap pended letter some one has been aliening the democratic coll'ers with tribute levied upon the em ployes of stale institutions. It was written by an employe of the insane asylum, who says he can substantiate what, lie says: Salkm. May 25. fTo the En itor.1 One day last week a being erect, upon two legs, bearing the outward semblance of a man en tered the asylum for the insane and perpetrated a regular swindle on the employes. This man was Five, the druggist. He came armed with an assessment roll and lemanded a half mouth's pay I'rom every employe in the inslitti lion, from the poor boy who lias a widowed mother to support andj who is getting only $20 per month, nid has to commence work at 4 o ciocx m ine morning, -io tiie highest paid employe, threatening all with immediate dismissal ii I hey refused to comply. Now I wish to asic the public wnat they think of this imposition? Of course the nefarious game worked and t his swagging pill -mixer, Fi ve, pocketed the proceeds. I wimi to isk Governor Pennoyer, who poses is a champion of the poor man, whether he expects to be re-elect ed on such fraudulent principles. If he is such a friend to the poor man as he pretends to be, he will have this man Five refund every lo'lar ot the hard-earned money of he employes of the institution. which he collected. God knows l hey work hard enough for what little they receive. The republi can party never resorted to such means to raise money. Ax Employe. MR. VI DUO'S RECORD. Ed. Gazette: Through' the col- ". mi lis of the Gazi'.TI'E 1 would like to mswer a little article Unit appeared in :he Corvallis Times last week, criticis ing Willis Vidito's political rscorl. I litl'er with my friend Republican. If I had written such an article 1 would have signed uiy name "Eli Perkins." Iu fact, there is not a man in Ronton county with a better record than Mr. Vidito. When the Republican party was in its infancy, and drove to the wall ly secession, Willis Vidito enlisted in the Union army, and risked his life to maintain the principles he endorsed. He did not send a fictitious name. As to Vidito's anti-monopoly senti ments, he stands with Lincoln, Sumner. Seward, Oliver P. Morton and many other worthy champions of the repub lican party. But I don't think his critic "Republicmi" has brains enough to solve the. finance question. Iu fact. I don't think he is a republican at all. I think he had better ride a pack-sad- lle and vote the democratic ticket straight. Mr. Vidito is an active, en ergetic man, and although he has had the misfortune to lose one arm, if elected and I am satisfied he will be will assess this county in less time better thau any other assessor ever has done. In conclusion will say that Willis Vidito is a man of good judg ment, well posted in the value of prop erty and we 1 qualified in every re spect to fill the office of assessor. J. R. Mays. May 26, 1890. Hon. C. B. Crosxo, candidate for senator on the republican ticket, has not cauvasied the county as many of the candidates have done, having boen detained at home on account of the sickness of his wife, but he will be elected next Monday just the same. MEMORIAL EXERCISES. The Presbyterian chifrch of this city was filled to its utmost capac ity last Sabbath by those who had assembled to listento a me morial discourse by Eev. E. J? Thompson, the.pastor. Ellsworth Post, No. 19, G. A. II., attended the service in a body and listened with profound interest to the re marks of the speaker. Doctor Thompson is a student and his dis courses are at all times interesting, convincing and learned. To-day all who are to take part in the memorial exercises will meet at the G. A. 11. hall, in Farra's brick, at 1:30 o'clock, where, as has been anno- need, a procession will be formed headed by the Corvallis brass band, followed by the mem bers of the G. A. 11. and Relief Corps, E Company, 2nd Regiment, O. N. G., the cadets of the Oregon State Agricultural College, etc. They will march to Crystal Lake cemetery, where the usual exercis es will take place. The address will be delivered try Rev. A. Rog ers, pastor of the Congegational church, this city. It may not be inappropriate at this time and place to republish the thoughts of an exchange, as follows: Time with its fleet wings soon bears away a generation of men; but reproduction fills the vacant ranks again and the human race moves on. Like a river that is constantly flowing on, so is the unbroken chain of humanity com ing from the eternity of the future and pouring into the eternity of the past. Between these two oceans we have the present a narrow isthmus where we meet, struggle, die and are lost lroui sight. The Grand Army posts, unlike the great mass of the human race, cannot recruit, be cause there is no new material. They may rally the comrades to gether, they may gather in the stragglers, but they cannot fill up the broken ranks. They may gather around the camp-ares, but once familiar faces are- missing. Tliev may sing the old war songs, but many voices are silent. They may tell t he old army stories over 'again, but many who listened and laughed are silent now. They meet in the post room; the old flag is draped in mourning. The roll is called, but some comrade fails to respond. They read the resolu tions of condolence, and heads are bowed with sadness. Before an other meeting the funeral bell tolls out the solemn notes that another soul has departed, and with muf fled drum and flag at half mast a procession of veterans is following another comrade to his restinz place. Thus time rolls on and bears away the fallen members week after week, month after month, and year after year until a quorum can no longer be rallied and the charter goes into decay; there are no minutes to read ex cept those kept by the recording angel, and the Grand Army post lias faded from sight and passed into history.
