THANKSGIVING DAY.
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,

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.
