Today the people of the United States unite in thanksgiving to a benign Creator for all the good ness He has bestowed upon them as a nation and as individuals. It is a day in which to forget our sorrows. Each of us must have -our portion of care but most of our worries we make ourselves by brooding over and magnifying our several ills. Today of all days we should resolutely forget all else but the countless bless ings that are continually being showered upon us. It is a day for earnest rejoicing. It is a day that appeals to our deeper nature. Many happy customs are asso ciated with this national holiday. The people, regardless of creeds, usually unite as one congrega tion to express publicly their thanks for the mercies of the Great Giver of all good. It is a day of family reunion. Sons daughters look forward to . Thanksgiving Day when they shall be united around the family ., table that is laden with the mon ster turkey, the cranberry sauce, the pumpkin pies and the other savory dishes that custom has made appropriate for this day's feast. Thanksgiving Bay is also a special time for the manifesta tions of our charitable impulses. It is a day for rejoicing and a day in wJiicn we snouia -en deavor to "teake others rejoice The poor -and needy, the sck and the suSerine: should receive unusual attention on this ay. Let us net only relieve as well as we may 4he wants and needs of the unfortunate with whom we may accidentally meet, but let us look for those to whom our mite wauld be a blessing but who do not obtrude their sorrows upon fiie world. The -celebration -of this day in dicates that the spirituality and the sturdy sentiment thatcharac terized the founders of this great nation still lives. . . A SERIOWS MATTER. The people of Corvallis do net need to go to San Francisco ifor examples of depravity' in the young. A scandal is protrudiEg itself upon us that is justly arousing the indignation of the citizens of Corvallis. But a short time ago a young, unmar ried girl about 18 became a mother. The matter, although generally known, was kept as quiet as. possible. Several young men who were reputed to be the associates of the girl, simply laughed over her misfor tune and their escape, and looked for new victims. Now a sister of this girl, a child under 16 years, will shortly bring nameless offspring into the world. The young: men rho are responsible for her downfall are endeavoring desperately to evade the punishment that is justly theirs. . . The best interests of the -community demand that these cases do not escape the eyes of the law. Such outrageous flauntings . ot immorality in the face of de cency must not be tolerated. The effect on the young is most ; harmful and dangerous. This band of young defilers must be taught to respect others if they nave no respect tor tnemselves. The mother of these girls is an honest, hard-working woman and bears a good reputation She has endeavored to rear her girls aright, but was powerless against the persistency of the shameless libertines who obey no law but their own passions. It may be impossible for the law to make these young men follow the principles of moral purity, but it can force them to main tain an outward semblance of decency. The Waterbury American thinks that democracy is some thing Jike a fellow tryin? surf . bathing for the first time. He was just catching his breath af ter the first wave, when the sec ond one dashes over his head. Says the New York Sun; "Grover Cleveland has given the . democracy a new issue, which involves the essence of the party. The issue is the third term, but ' it makes the democracy fight with , itself instea4 oj with he repub licans. - SHUT THE GATES. The most clever argument that has been advanced against, the policy of protection is, that it is idle and foolish to expect the manufacturers so protected ' to divide the profits with the la borer. The working man, the critics sav. will only eet what his employer is forced to pay him, and, to shut the doors of our nation against the products of foreign labor, but to open them wide to the foreign laborer himself, benefits the capitalist but is a poor sort of protection to the American workingmen. - It must be confessed that there is a great deal of merit in such criticisms. What is the use of trying to protect the American laborer against the competition of the foreign laborer on foreign soil when we allow that foreign aborer to come to America and enter into direct competition with the American. The republican party should round out its policy of protection at all times that the gates 0i America be shut against the im-1 portation of foreign labor. - The , present restrictions are practi callv nil. Every day vessels unload swarms of the lower classes of Europe at our docks. We doiit need them. We not only can do without them but they are a constant menace to the prosperity of oirr working people, and they have a harmful effect upon -society. Anyone who has seen, as the writer has done, the immigrants landing at Ellis Island, in New Yeark harbor, -will feel a paag of fearfor the security and permanence of our national institutions. The republican patty, &y the logic of events, must surely make this one ef its leading prin ciples. The laboring man will not be satisfied with a protection, his share of which is helfi in trust by Ihis empleyer. The republi can party is -flie patty oaf protec tion and full, complete and equit able protection can enly be as sured when the gates are shut against the"foreigner. The dem ocratic party will never dare fight fereign immigration. Jits strength consists in the foreign element of eur great cities. It is pre-emi- siently aparty of ' foreign-Ameri--cans. The-.eoming campaign will be the proper time for the republi can party to enunciate their be lief in this matter. .. The ques tion. is a pressing one. The evil needs immediate attention. This is not only the republican party's duty, 'but herein is that party's glorious opportunity. VERY TIRESOME. The way the valley papers are gushing over football games, is very tiresome. "The . appropria tion f $30,000 of the people's money has enabled the State university to import a California coifcher, and 'the Agricultural College, backed by a similar pull at the treasury, has followed suit Thepeople likettolae humbugged. The above paragraph is from' the JLoseburg Review. The peo ple may like to be humbugged, but the Review .should find no fault with them far that. That paper is just as fond of humbug ging the people. 3t knows that not one cent of the appropria tions for the Agricultural College or the State University is diverted in any way towards the mainten ance of football teams. All the expenses are paid by private con tribution from the students, pro fessors and principally, at least in Corvallis, by public spirited citi zens. The students of the col lege here like to play football. The citizens of Corvallis enjoy the game as spectators. They spend their own money and it is their privilege to do so. It is : not a matter of any concern to j the good folks of Douglas eounty how the people of Corvallis spend their money. The way the Roseburg papers are putting their noses in our business is very tiresome. Since the beginning of Mr. Cleveland's term the democratic party has lost the governorships of the following states: Connec ticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Mary land, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennes see, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL. ; : It is suggested that it is im proper for a college or university to maintain a football team, or to encourage athletics and out door sports. From time "imme morial," as the cant phrase has it, there was not a college in the United States that did not keep up a baseball club; there is not one now that has any life that does not keep up a tootball team. It is said that some of the young men bet money on the game last Saturday, and that some of those who were down from Corvallis spent a greal deal of money and "saw the town Saturday night" It is quite possible. Many of the students at Corvallis are possessed of means and spend their money freely. But we heard of noth ing improper. Youth will have its fling, and there is no suppress ing all the life and vitality in young men. A race of young men in whom all traces of hilar ity could be suppressed would not amount to anything and "v"ViUU' uv-""'"'"""s- "f"0 There are excesses and abuses connccrea wiui an spun Gamb ling is not the object of amateur sport. Its organization is to rig idly guard against the develop ment of the gambling propensity. Amateur sport has done more to wipe out gambling in connection with sport than any other influ ence. .We believe there is great virtue in college athletics, and we believe enthusiasm for honest outdoor sports is productive- of more good than bad results. There are those who would sup press all manifestations ot a sportinsr nature. They do not understand human nature, nor a rational organization of society, which are both best served and their true interests promoted by the largest possible free activity of the individual. Why ' the taste for football and other athlet ic sports should be suppressed "in the college student any more than other young men, Tve can not see. The sedentary pursuit of a col lege career demands the stimulus and excitement of outdoor sport more than almost any other oc cupation. Capital Journal. It might not be -out of place to state that no gambling or other improper conduct was indulged in by the O. A. C. students while at the Capital city. The young men attending the agricultural college are scions of the best families of the state, and never forget that ftltey are gentlemen. It is possible atrd even probable that some f' the Corvallis en thusiasts who accompanied the team did wager some cash on the ouSeome of the game, but from the very nature of things it is needless to suppose that they i eannbled amon? themselves. If 1 -t - - there was any money wagered by Corrallisites, a like amount was put rupbv Salem sports. One thing is certain, the Corvallis fel low didn't win anything and will doubtless deay having gamb led at all. In 3act, if Brother Hofer was compelled to prove by residents of this ;place that there were any bets made he would have a sorry time of it. The fellows that lose usually saw wood and say nothing. : ,j Montgomery Confesses. Albany, Or., Nov. 25. Lloyd Mont gomery, has been unable to endure the weight of the terrible crimes upon his mind, and this evening made a full confession. . He eaid. . "Ob, if I only had It to lo over again! I don't know what made me do it!" "We were quaxelling, father and I, Father commenced getting alter me for going away from home and .neg lecting my work.. McKercher sided in with father while we were quarreling, Father asked me where I had been. I told hlji I had been hunting. Thea he slapped me In the face and told me to go and cut some wood. This made me so angry that I did not know what I was doing." I went into the house and got father's rifle. I came out and stood in the kltehen door. Father and Mckercher were still standing by the fence talking, and mother was stand ing near by in Ihe yard. "I shot father, then mother. Mc Kercher started to run toward the house. I shot at him, but missed him the first time. I jumped out of the doorway where I was standing and ran around the house toward the front porch. McKercher was just going through the front door. I was still standing on the ground when I shot him. He fell near the door, and I stepped upon the porch. Mother was running from me through tho house. I don't kow what made me do it. I just began shooting, and kept on un til I shot them all. M, E. Church, South, old college chapel: Preaching at 11 a. m. and at 7 p. m. each Sabbath except the third.
