The press of Corvaliis must
kindly .though firmly refuse to be
muzzled. This is not Russia,
and the newspapers can safely
decline the offices of these self
appointed censors. While the
Gazette stands aghast at the
mighty genius of those who con
ceived that brilliant attempt to
effectually vindicate the police
officers, it musters up temerity
enough to suggest that in the ex
citement of the moment, they
forgot to be logical.
The Corvaliis newspapers cer
tainly published the facts concern
ing the doings of our police force
on au eventful occasion. But,
respected censors, don't you be
lieve that those doings were right
and proper and a credit, to our
city? You espouse the officers
&nd their actions, openly, pub
licly and zealously. You surely
would not uphold anything you
considered discreditable or dis
reputable. The Gazette can
not, will not, believe - that you
are so unmanly. Then, since
those actions of our officers were
so eminently proper and noble,
how could the papers injure the
city by "making them public?"
"Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good
works," is a divine command.
Respected censors, as you are
temporarily so sensitive regard
ing the city's fair name, and as
the episode of November 30th is
a source of pride to you as citi
zens, would it. not be well to pub
lish a complete report of the af
fair in pamphlet form and distrib
ute it in the hope of increasing
our population ? The Gazette
rests in the belief that it was
really the intention of the peti
tioners to uphold the papers, but
that the authors of the document,
being unused to literary labor,
failed to properly express their
sentiments.
It is right that the world should
know that public virtue, as prac
ticed by the police officers of the
city, is upheld by some promi
nent citizens of Corvaliis, 'though
the newspapers and public gener
ally condemn it. Those gentle
men who have so kindly and Iree
ly lent their valuable time and as
sistance to force the city to form
ally endorse such virtue, will long
be remembered by the people of
Benton county.
IT is a matter of general regret
among his constituents that Con
gressman Hermann failed to be
given first place on the commit
tee of rivers and harbors. How
ever, he was given second place
on the committee, which will
make him a member of the con
ference committee, and place him
in a better position to care for
Oregon's interests than ever be
fore. In refusing him the chair
manship, Speaker Reed really
pays Mr. Hermann a compliment.
He thinks the Oregon congress
man has too extravagant an idea
of the importance of river and
harbor improvements, and on that
account would be altogether too
liberal with the public funds.
The written request to Speaker
Reed for the appointment of Rep
resentative Hermann to the chair
manship of the committee on
rivers and harbors was signed by :
Senators John H. Mitchell and
Geo. W. McBride, of Oregon;
George C. Perkins, of California;
C. D. Clark and Francis Warren,
of Wyornina; Watson C. Squire
and John L. Wilson, of Wash
ington; G. L. Shoup and Fred
T. Dubois, of Idaho; Thomas H.
Carter and Lee Mantle, of Mon
tana; William M. Stewart, of
Nevada, and H. C. Hansbrough,
of North Dakota. The same re
quest was also signed by the
republican -members of congress
of Oregon, California, Washing
ton, Nevada, Idaho and Montana.
The Lake Carrier's Association,
a powerful union of shippers on
the great lakes and "the republi
can state central committee of
Virginia also interceded with
Speaker Reed in benall 01 Mr.
Herman n.
Thomas B. Reed is aptly de
scribed as "a candidate, who has
nothing to explain." It fits him
well.
Thirty republican congress
men from the "solid South" is
Editor Train, of the Albany
Herald, visited the Oregon Agri
cultural College last week, and
after reaching his office wrote the
flattering comment of how the
institution impressed him:
"A recent visit to the city of
Corvaliis," gave an opportunity
to look in on the workings of the
Oregon Agricultural College and
to say that a most agreeable sur
prise was given, when the extent
and peifectness of the workings
of that school were seen, is but
stating a simple fact.
" In every department the equip
ment is full, complete and as per
fect as the advancement of science
can make it, and the work in
instruction bears the impress of
being thorough and of solid
worth. President Bloss, with
the professors in charge of the
various departments form a corps
of earnest and efficient educa
tional workers.
"Limited time only allowed of
a hasty view of the work of the
young ladies in the mending and
making classes, and a glimpse of
the department where instruction
is given the culinary art, but
enough was seen to show that no
part of domestic life is neglected,
and that the best and most ap
proved methods are illustrated
and ably taught.
So to in the mechanical de
partment, and the agricultural
horticultural fields, every opera
tion is brought out and thorough
ly illustrated by applied methods
until pupils are so thoroughly in
structed that they arc equipped
to meet all the requirements of
life in whatever occupation they
may engage.
. "In the experiment station
work, in the chemical depart
ment and in the microscopic pho
tographic development of facts,
wonderful and most useful things
are demonstrated, which are of
great value if acted upon, and
which should be more widely
known and applied.
' 'Oregon has reason to be proud
of her Agricultural College, and
the advancement it is making,
and appreciates it, too, in a meas
ure, as evinced by the largely in
creased attendance this year
But if our people fully appreci
ated the advantages throughout
the state, there would be a still
larger use of the privileges of
this educational institution.
Those wonld-be muzzlers of
the press, do not propose to go
far enough to effect their purpose.
They wish the papers to sanction
rottenness by silence, but public
journals are not the only means
of disseminating news. A com
mittee of censors should be ap
pointed to open all private letters
going through the post office and
blot out everything containing
the forbidden information. The
O. A. C. students especially
should be kept under surveilance;
guards should be stationed at all
points of egress from the city,
and nobody allowed to leave, un
less he gives bonds to keep silent.
Half-way expedients will not suf
fice. Adopt heroic measures, pull
down the blinds, put out the
lights, and let us have a rough
house. Otherwise, the Gazette
will continue the even tenor of
its way; and, believing that fire
is the best disinfectant, will, as
ever, expose and -"burn up" pub
lic rottenness.
The preachers-of New York
sermonized Sunday on the war
question. Most of them took
the ground that "a war between
Great Britan and the JJnited
States would be a crime, because
we are the same people, same
blood, same tongue; our fathers
are the same fathers; and we have
the same principles. " What has
tongue and blood to do with it ?
By what authority do these
preachers tell us that it is lesj a
crime to war with Germany,
France or Japan, than with Eng
land ? Is a German, Frenchman,
or Japanese, less human, or less
regarded by the creator, than au
Englishman ? Then, too, we are
not the same people, and we have
not the same principles. Such
sermons are no credit to religion.
War is not an unmixed evil. It
is costly in lives and property,
but a war for principle betters the
world otherwise.
A good deal of attention is
being directed to the fact that the
year 1900, though it will come
four years after the year 1896,
will not be a leap year. This is
a matter calculated to make a
deep and solemn impression on
the mind of the end-of-the-cen-tury
girl.
Hurrah for Hermann ! He
has second place on the commit
tee of rivers and harbors and the
chairmanship of the committee
The Portland Farmer and
Stockman, of November, cites
several peculiarities of this sea
son that resemble thoseof 1 861-2.
"The summer and fall of the
present season is very much like
that of 1861. The Indians in
Idaho, Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington were, as they said, led by
the actions of their horses, the
elk and deer, to believe that a
hard winter was to follow. The
Indians said their horses
were inclined to seek the higher
south-hill sides. While the elk
and deer, came early from the
mountains, and inhabited the
lower-flat ranges. We are told
that the Indians are now calling
attention to the similar actions of
these animals." After calling
attention to the impressions these
animals have, the editor asks:
"Why do the wild birds mi
grate ? Why does the hog often
commence . to build his warm
bed, even when the weather is
warm and pleasant ? Instinct is
natural, it cannot be cultivated,
as the trotting horse editor some
times talks." ,
It is a common occurrence that
straw is burned in the fall. Why
not keep it till spring to ascer
tain whether it will be needed
for the stock. The good farmer's
motto is "Get, thee, food for thy!
stock; keep them well in hand,"
for should an 1861 December
storm come again, the stampede
before the blizzard cannot be
checked.
During the present year, the
State Agricultural College has
grown more than all the other
colleges in Oregon. At the pres
ent rate of increase, the attend
ance next year will be more than j
twice what it was last year. This
will call for more dwellings than i
have been occupied; and it will 1
call for more neighbors. Air
ready there are within our midst
several new families who have
come to breathe the intellectual
atmosphere that hovers about
Corvaliis; and since the average
Coryallisite will not be outdone,
it it safe to say that our visitors
will be entertained. They are
our guests, and "we are the peo
ple." "The Oregouian wants a reap
portionment of this state, so as
to give Portland a greater pro
portion of the senators and repre
sentatives in the legislature. We
hope to see this delayed, at least
for some time. That city's pro
portion is large enough now. In
the event of a new apportionment
it would be better, if any change
were made at all, to reduce rather
than increase the proportionate
representation from that city. In
several of the Eastern states hav
ing large cities this doctrine has
been adopted as the fixed policy
to prevent the control of the
political affairs by the largely
foreign, un-American elements
contained in such dense metro
politan populations. Salem
Statesman.
Miss Ora Spangler is spending the hol
idays with her parents in this city. She
arrived home last Saturday and was ac
companied by her friend Miss Erma
Laurence, who will visit here until next
week.
The rebuilding of the Salem woolen mill
recalls recollections of the largest and most
representative ball ever given in, Oregon,
and that when the state was young and the
population small. A stock company was
formed in Salem in 1S53, to build and oper
ate a woolen mill; the pioneer Oregon manu
factury of any importance. The water ditch
was completed in 1857, and in the fall of the
Eame year the three story woolen mill build
ing was erected. A grand ball was given in
honor of the event before the machinery ar
rived, and representative people from the
whole stale were present. The three floors
of the large building were thronged with
dancers and spectators, and three orchestras
furnished the music. Senator Grover's rep
utation as a dancer was thoroughly -established
during that eventful - evening. Phil
Sheridan then Lieut. Sheridan braved
social unpicasuntries and helped represent
the military element.
The machinery arrived soon after, and
work commenced. The stockholders, how
ever, began to grow dubius 01s the financial
success of the ciUcrprisi', . and Jos. Watt,
one of iU most active organizers, contracted
for all the mill's output at a certain figure,
proGtuble to the company. The stockhold
ers considered tl'emsei ves fortunate for a
while, and were inclined to pity Sir. YV;.tt.
Soon they rentiz'jd, however, that his profits
were in excess of theirs', and that hu ha J a
bonanza. As he was interested in the fuctory
from a public more than from a petsonal
standpoint, he agreed to cancel his contract
for a consideration, a. proiosilion the com
pany hastened to accept.
Salem is now build in? a Dew mill tore
place the one recently burned, and while
some of the stock subscribers probably con
tributcd for the public good chiefly, they
will, doubtless, enjoy the experience of tho
pioneer stockholder, whoso bread, cast upon
the waters, made a speedy return.
