A VICTIM OF ACUTE IGNORANCE.
The Plaindealer of March 4th! i a
trashy vein, evidently intended to be
fuBny, takes the Gazette to task for re
plying to remarks of the OregoniaD,
which opposed appropriations to the Agri
cultural College. By' saying . "me to,"
and floating down the tide of journalism
with Harvey Scott to the tune of "How
We -Apples Swim," Mr. Benjamin evi
dently thinks he has been accused of
"obtuse ignorance," and is rather proud
of the appellation. He mistakes his
case however. His malady is the same
as that afflicting the Oregonian on this
subject, but the symptoms, as evinced by
the article referred to, plainly indicate
that he has the desease in an acute form,
and therefore requires different treatment
The Gazette will be pleased to prescribe
for him as his case may demand until he
becomes convalescent. But he is afflicted
with acute ignorance, and those who
Tead his articles on "high schools," can
- not fail to correctly diagnose his case.
In comparing the editor of the GA
ZETTE to an ass, the Plaindealer editor is
. quite generous, for he leaves his opponent
. on a plane vastly above the one occupied
by himself, for had he one-half the intel
ligence of that despised quadruped, he
would have understood his relations to his
fellows too well to have written that arti
cle. Intact he puts to shame the stupid
ity of the traditional animal he refers to,
by doing a more'foolish thing than is re
lated in the old fable. According to
.ajsop, the old piece of stupidity put on
the skin of a lion, in order to frighten
"troublesome companions, terrify his mas
ter, and escape work. All three were
rational desires. The editor of the Plain
dealer attempts to skin what he conceives
to be a'live ass without any worthy de
sign, and apparently out of pure malice.
IVneeds but an 5jsop as his chronicler to
supplant the old story of stupidity with
the new one and imortalize an Oregonian
at the expense of a distant ancestor.
As'the Plaindealer objects to taxation
for the'support of what it calls "high
schools," especially those which teach
agriculture and mechanical arts, we may
inform that paper that the Gazette force
intends opening a kindergarten in the
basement of its building for the purpose
of meeting the needs of those who have
heretofore resisted all educational influ
ences, and that, the entire force of the
Plaindealer is offered free scholarships. It
may not be ont of place to say thatin -the
- first Issboh we" shali attempt to . illustrate,
"TTby the iaid'of a '.ft, agricultural imple-
' merits and mechanical 'appliances bor
rowed for the purpose from one of the
"high schools") that an American citizen
no longer roams the woods an absolute
democrat, receiving no favors and there
fore owing no allegiance to society, but
lias become sometimes unwittingly a
member of the great ."body politic, with
many duties'imposed upon him in order
that he may'attain and enjoy a higher
state of civilization and mental culture,
instead of returning to barbarism. We
shall endeavor tio make our pupils under
stand that the right to levy taxes to sup
port schools is not determined by the
trade of school for which the tax is
levied; but that it has a much higher
sanction, being dictated by self-preserva
tion, the grand central law of nature.
We shall tell them that highly cultured
men have been, almost without exception,
benefactors of the human race; that
nearly all great and learned men have
lived, not for themselves, but for their
fellows, and that Thomas Jefferson, Alex
ander Hamilton and Daniel Webster have
been worth more to our country than
would be all the money expended in
schools, both common and high, since the
landing of the pilgrim fathers. Our first
lesson will te closed with the statement
that should we tax for school purposes at
the present rate for the next hundred
years, with no other result than to pro
duce such another scholar and statesman
as Webster, it would be the most judi
cious expenditure of money ever made.
We shall quote from the Oregonian
which opposes taxation for higher schools
when we say "that it was upon the in
vincible logic of Webster that the invin
cible armies were formed which con
quered the rebellion."
But to return to the Plaindealer. It is
of no consequence whether its editor ac
cepts our statement that the Agricultural
College is properly "an United States
school," or not We shall not insist up
on our idea in this matter if it forms any
part of the objections to the school re
ceiving help from the state. But we shall
insist, and we hope and believe the press
of the state will insist, that the Agricul
tural College is not so far above the
masses of the people as to be beyond their
sympathy and unworthy their support.
Its leading studies, as prescribed by
congressional acts endowing it, are agri
culture and the mechanical arts. What
must be the mental status of the man
who declares these studies are above his
interests, and their advancement of no
benefit to the community at large? If
we should support common schools by
taxation because all are interested in the
branches they teach, what is more com
mon or general in interest to all than
agriculture and mechanics? They were
probably the first pursuits engaged in by
man, and have always been considered
of the first importance to him.
Let the press of the state assist the far
mers and mechanics in properly classify
ing those who assert that Corvallis only
is beneutted by tue Agricultural college.
DON'T QUIBBLE. BE FRANK.
The Oregonian claims that it has been
impartial in printing the press criticisms
of the legislature. It accuses the Ga
zette of un familiarity with its columns,
or else willful misstatement of facts, when
this paper accuses the Oregonian of clip
ping from populistic and democratic pa
pers. It is probably true, as the Orego
nian states, that nearly every paper in
the state criticised the actions of the re
cent legislature. The Gazette certainly
has done so. But a great majority of re
publican papers laid the blame at the
doors of those responsible for the failure
of the party to carry out its pledges.
Such papers claimed that it was not the
republican party that was opposing the
will of the people, but a faction that set
themselves up as dictators, and who kill
ed nearly every honest measure of re
form that was introduced. If the Ore
gonian has reprinted any such comments
the Gazette certainly overlooked them,
and would be glad to have proof of its
error. It is certainly not fair for a re
publican paper to hold the whole party
responsible for the acts of the faction,
who had temporary power to annul the
work of the other legislators. Surely if
the party rids itself of its evil leeches it
can then do good work for the people.
A majority of the republican papers of
the state have not given up hopes for the
future success of the republican party in
Oregon the Oregonian and the popu
list and democratic papers apparently
have.
The following editorial appeared in the
Gazette of February 2Sth, and similar
expressions have since been noticed in 1
many of the other state papers. Can the
Oregonian deny the truthfulness of the i
statements contained in the article be- :
low?
The Oregonian severely criticises the ;
legislature for extravagances and predicts j
trouble ahead for the republican party on j
account of its pledges to the people for
economy which it has not carried out.
Many will accept this charge as correct,
just bebause the great daily makes it It
is, however, almost criminally misslead
ing, and is designed to cover up the do
ings of the Simon-Dolph ring, which is
persistently supported by the Oregenian.
Every measure of economy attempted by
the "noble thirty," who opposed the ring
was defeated by the Dolph faction, aided
by the Oregonian.
The house, which contained twenty- !
seven of the "thirty," repealed the rail-'
road commission law. The senate, which
contained only three of the noble band,
refused to concur. The house refused to
make an appropriation for this commis
sion; but the senate placed it in the ap
propriation bill and sent it back to the
house at the last minute, thus compelling
that body to agree or make no appropri
ations at all, and thus stop the whole
machinery of the state. The same is
also true of the domestic animal commis
sion appropriation, which the house cut
to $ 4,000, and was raised in the senate to
,000. The housa passed a bill cutting
down' salaries of county officials. The
senate did not allow it to come up for ac
tion. The 1 house passed an assessment
and taxation law, providing for the taxa
tion of mortgages and the exemption of
indebtedness, but the bill never saw day
light after reaching the senate. Bill after
bill, cutting down salaries and lopping off
expenses, was passed by the efforts of the
twenty-seven heroes in the house, only
to be defeated or pocketed by the senate
where all republicans, except three, were
upholding Simon in trying to elect Dolph.
The men who tried to elect the ma
chine senator; the men who tried to pass
Simon's charter bill, and thus place the
political destiny of Portland and indi
rectly the whole state, in his hands the
Simon majority of the senate are re--
sponsible for the extravagances of the
legislature, and they shall not escape the
responsibility to the people. Squirm as I
they may behind their bulwark of de
fense, the "Great Daily," they shall be
dragged forth and held up to the gaze of
a justly indignant people. The public,
now fully aroused, will never again listen
with meek credulity to the silly defenses
offered for them by the ring organ.
Senator McBride, with his customary
industry, has outlined work enough to
keep his time fully occupied between
now and the convening of congress.
He intends to visit every place in Oregon
where government work is now being
done, with a view of more fully familiar
izing himself with what has been accom
plished and of the. future needs of each.
He will also inspect such streams as im
provements have been asked for, so that
he can properly explain their needs be
fore congress. When it comes to look
ing after the interests of Oregon, Senator
McBride will equal the best man the state
ever had in congress.' Oregon Citv En
terprise.
The Oregonian denies our assertion
that its comments on the legislature tend
to aid and encourage populism, and pro
nounces the Gazeete'S assertion false.
1 ne time has not come for a confession
and we did not expect any from that pa
per, which wishes to keep command,
that it may lead the republican party
where it will. The treachery of Benidict ' ive of stomachics and tonics, not only
Arnold was not discovered through his I enriches the blood, but accelerates its circu
own acknowledgement, but by the arrest ! 'ation- For a chill, or -premonitory symp
and examination of Major Andre, in tom3 of rheumatism and kidney complaint,
whose boots were found evidences of
Arnold's guilt Examine the populists
today, and you will find editorial clip
pings from the Oregonian concealed in
their hatbands.
IT seems that the Oregonian can as
sure the defeat of a candidate or a prop
osition no more effectively than by giv
ing either its support The latest illustra
tion of the blighting influence of 'its
favor is the defeat of D. P. Thompson
for school director, and the snowing un
der of the bridge tdll proposition. It is
a pity that that paper can not come to a
realizing sense of its own impotency as a
factor in the state, and it seems, also, in
local, politics.
COIVIVBGS NOTES.
Mr. E. Kiger, of Alsea, recently pre
sented the museum with a fine old Indi
an mortar. Such contributions are high
ly appreciated by those in charge of the
museum. .
. Pres. Bloss and Profs. French, Wash
burn have each received, this week, cer
tificates of honorable mention, given to
them by special act of congress for their
assistance in perfecting the display of the
agricultural experiment stations at the
worlds fair.
Station Bulletin No. 35, on "Forage
Plants and Pig Feeding,"by Prof. French,
is nearly ready for distribution, and No.
36, on "Fertilizers," Prof Shaw, is on the
press.
The young ladies of the senior class
have commenced . gymnazium work.
Will Keady is at present instructing them
in Indian club swinging.
Prof. Craig recently received notice of
his election to membership in the Amer
ican forestry association, and Prof. Shaw
was admitted to the American chemical
association a short time ago. It is rather
a difficult task to secure admission into
either of these associations. We feel
quite proud that two of our professors
should receive such an honor.
The organization of the O. A. C. lawn
tennis club was completed last Friday,
with twelve charter members. A num
ber of courts will be made as soon as
possible, and the players will commence
training at once for the tournament
i which will be held later in the spring.
: The following are the officers of the club:
Manager, A. S. Additon; sec, Don Ray;
treas., Will Keady. The three officers,
togerher with Lieut. Dentler and C. E.
Small, constitute the board of directors.
It is expected that the club membership
will reach twenty or more, as several
have declared their intention of joining,
including a number of professors. Ten
nis is a game but little known in this
part of the country, but it is hoped that
1 -
! this year's work will create an interest in
i the game.
1 Heretofore the athetic association has
r
I taken but little interest in field sports,
j but this year they will enter into them to
' as great an extent as possible. Goods
j have been ordered and a committee
j appointed to build a track. A quarter
1 mile track is contemplated. The associ-
! ation expect to make the field day, which
j is to be held in May, eclipse anything of
the kind ever held in Corvallis. A num
ber of entries have already been booked
by the committee, in some of the events.
They hope to bring some men ' to the
front who will do the O. A. C. credit at
the intercollegiate -field day in June.
This contest will mark an epoch in field
sports in Oregon. High and Low.
. Simon has about lost all his standing
as a political boss. With the two United
States senators and at least one represen
tative opposed to him, and with the state
officials utterly antagonistic to him . and
his methods, his political "pull" was get
ting at a low ebb. ' Most of the officials
of Multnomah county are at war with
him, and now Mayor Frank has cut loose
from the little corraptionist by removing
a police commissioner with Simonistic
tendencies and threatening other needed
changes. There is and will be plenty of
fruit to pluck, but it will all be sour
grapes for -Joseph. , ,
INTBRCOL1VEOIATB FIBI-D DAY.
There is to be an intercollegiate field day
held at Salem about the first of June. The
O. A C. Athletio Association has decided to
take part in this contest, and, as a prelimi
nary, intend to hold a field day here three
weeks in advance.. They intend to make
this the best athletic day ever held in Cor
vallu and have decided to have it open to
all students, whether members of the ath
letic association or not. It is hoped that an
interest will be taken in this contest in order
that we may get the best men to send to
the intercollegiate tournament. There will
be something over $100 00 worth of medals
given at the state contest and we want the
O. A. C. to get its share of them. The fol
lowing is the list of events for oar local
field day:
Oue hundred yard dash.
Foar hundred and forty yard run,
Oue hundred aud twenty yd. hurdle race.
Kunuiug high jump.
Patting the shoe. .
Two hundred and twenty yd. bicycle race.
- Tennis, doubles aod singles.
Two hundred and twenty yard run.
Two mile run.
Running broad jump.
Pole vault.
Throwing the hammer.
One mile bicycle race.
Students wishing to enter in any of these
events are requested to report to the com
mittee on arrangement before March 22nd.
It is hoped that the program will be full.

Editor Gazette: Knowing that the
many readers of your valuable paper, who
reside in this community, will read with
interest any items from our little '"burg"
and vicinity, we will endeavor to chronicle
for their benefit the recent happenings which
will bear repetition and are most worthy of
note.
We can not do otherwise than open this
letter with some remarks on the weather,
since that seems to be the main topic of
conversation at present. "Of course the
"Kroakers" are ever ready with gloomy
predictions such as "We'll pay for these
balmy spring days in a week or two when
the snow will again appear and the ((round
will be frozen hard, all the fruit and vege
tables will be blighted by the frost," etc.
They know, for it is just like the spring of
186 'or 187 ," and in consequence it must
fellow that we will have quite a severe win
ter yet. For our part we have come to the
conclusion that the longer a weather prophet
or any other person lives in Oregon the more
certain may he become that he knows noth
ing whatever about what the weather in the
future will be, and as sure as it has been
decided what it is to be by noticing its simi
larity to some past season, -just so certain
may ha be that it will be the direct oppo
site. Last week we had two very cola
nights. It was said by some that they were
the coldest night of the winter. We have
not yet heard any complaints of damage
done and hope that 00 injuries will be found
resulting from them. :
Philomath gardeners are quite busy at
present They seem to be sure that spring
is here and know that these are perfect days
for preparing garden plots.
Quite a number of our people have suffer
ed severely from attacks of the lagrippe but
are all recovering without serious effects.
There are still several cases of scarlatina
in Philomath aad are likely to be for some
time yet. It has been in town since early
fall and has not yet been checked. . There
are surely some who are to be censured for
this state of affairs. Lack of proper care
and want of vigilant city authorities are the
principal causes. We think it has taught
our people a lesson which they may profit
by iu the future.
Mr. Price and family are ' now living in
the property which was, until recently,
owned by Mrs. , Lewis. We understand
that Mr. Price now owns it, having traded
for it, property which he owned in Corval'
lis, and to which he removed the household
effects and family of; Mrs! Lewis last week,
Miss Flynn, daughter of Judge Flynu of
Albany, has been a guest at the residence of
Dr. Akin for several days.
Mrs. Laura Frohman, of Linn county, is
visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Allen.
Quite a number of our teachers attended
the meeting of the Bentou County Teach
era' Association last Saturday.
Philomath now may boast of two colleges
incorporated as state institutions, one to be
I known as the Philomath College and the
other as the College of Philomath. We
hope that our readers may distinguish a dif
ference between these titles, since the
denominations are presumably the same,
Both colleges have done good work during
the past winter. . The attendance has been
about the sanies . .
The second terns of -the College of Philo
math closes this week. An entertainment
to be given by the students will be the prin
cipal feature in social work this week. A
very good time is anticipated, since the
students iuvariably present a very interest
ing aud entertaining program. The enter
tainment will take place Saturday evening
at the College on the Hill.
Our public school is still in session. Un
der the efficient leadership of the principal
W. B. Haines, the, advanced pupils have
made great progress. ' The primary depart
ment, through the efforts of Miss Minna
Dittmar. has advanced rapidly and the
pupils in her department are much interest-
ed ia their school work. School will close
in about one month to reopen some time in
the fall. '.'
Nearly all of our teachers have been
engaged to teach during the spring and sum
mer months. Several have as yet secured
no school. We hope they may yet obtain
positions. Mrs. Buoy will teach iu the
Independent district; Mrs. Hattie Williams
at Evergreen; Mr. ' Will Buoy, Pleasant
Valley; Mr. Carl F. Dittmar, Alsea: Mr.
W. T. Wyatt in Marion county; Miss Min
na Dittmar, Lobster; Miss Mamie Oglesby,

U350. FOR A CASE IT WILL NOT CURE, i
Stats Superintendent of Instruction G. M.
Irwin, is sending out circulars to the county
superintendents of schools, requesting them
to prepare and send him their votes desig
nating the remaining list of school books for
use in the schools that failed of being chosen
last year. At the last voting contest at the
close of the year there were a number of
books that failed to receive a majority of the
