Democratic duplicity often overreaches itself. With tre xnendious pains the democratic leaders in Benton county loaded their guns for the campaign with packages of powder marked A. P. A. They trained tliese guns against the republican ticket, ap plied the pseudo-delegate match and listened for the big explosion. Alas and alack, the muzzle was in the breech and the tiger is scorched! The democratic organ in Ben ton county does not, editorially, charge that the republican conven tion was controlled by the A. P. A. organization. Neither does it editorially condemn the A. P. A. There are reasons, of course, for this editorial silence. That pa per, however, publishes long com munications from pretended del egates to the republican conven tion, in which the howl about the A. P. A's controlling the con vention is loudly set up. Of course the Times is not responsi ble for the utterances of its cor respondents. Of course the dem ocratic party is not. Of course the democratic A. P. A.'s are not aupposed to take offense at these communications. Of course, also, republican Catholics are to swallow this tempting bait, thus prepared by Tammany bosses, and vote for a -continuance of Tammany control. A pretty scheme: but are there fools enough in Benton couuty to make it work? Should A. P. Aism be an issue in the politics of this county? Decidedly not. The republican party does not recognize any secret organization as a political pow er, or as a political issue. It asks no questions of its candidates as to their affiliations with churches or societies. If a man attempts to force himself upon the party because of his connection with the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the A. P. A.'s, the Workmen, or any other society; or because he is a Methodist, a Catholic, or a Pres. byterian, will be effectually sat upon. But if he comes into the convention simply as an Ameri can and a republican, tne ques tion of "to what society he belongs?" or "what religion he professes?" is not taken into con sideration. It is the democrats who are at tempting to make A. P. Aism an issue, and they are trying to car ry water on both shoulders. Free Americans abhor such an issue, and will have none of it. The fight is between republicans, pop ulists and democrats. The prin cipal issue in national matters is the tariff question. In local af fairs the chief political issue is one of party supremacy, and no wonder the Times wants to start the people off on a false trail. The insinuation that the repub lican ticket is an A. P. A. ticket is false. The covert claim that the majority of the men on the ticket belong to that organization is also a lie. The republican convention was a free, open body 'asairee, opcuuouy. There was a small proportion of A. P. A.'s present, as was also the case in the democratic convention. There was not a hint nor a sus picion of any concerted action on their part. The result of the convention was simply an ex pression of the popular will. There were no Tammany bosses with an eye on the barrel to scheme and plot in order to put popular but independent candi dates out of the way. It was not an A. P. A. convention, not a Tammany convention; not a Catholic convention. It was a convention of American voters who believe in the principles of the republican party, and it was one of the most representative republican cenventions ever held in the county. If there are any candidates on the republican ticket who are there as candidates of the A. P. A., they will have to fight their own battles. The Gazette is a republican paper, and intends supporting the republican nomi nees. It knows no other politics than republicanism. The mere accusation of a Tammany follow er will not be accepted as proof of a candidates' disloyalty to the party. The sincerity of our indepen dence can be attested by a glance at our advertising columns. Where do the A. P. A. business men advertise? In the Gazette? No. In the Times? Yes. The action of the republican state convention on the matter of the contesting Multnomah delegations, was a severe con demnation of the Oregonian and its political methods. A major ity of the country delegates went to Portland determined to seat the Simon delegates, believing that the reports of the Oregonian, their only source of information, were correct. But when the mat ter was up for consideration, and it was shown that the decent vo ters of the Simon crowd that the Oregonian bragged about, were hired thugs, toughs and crimi nals, and the testimony of such a. man as George ri. wiinams, , ' : , , -.to- furnishing deputy hire at their own ex-denouncing- the Simon primary I s . . ... primary l and convention methods, proved the Oregonian to be but the mis erable hired sheet of Portland ward heelers. The Oregonian had better learn honest political me thods before it attempts to teach people about an honest dollar. The nomination of E. R. Lake as joint representative of Benton and Lincoln counties, came as a very agreeable surprise. He was the choice of both delegations, Lincoln county presenting no candidate. Mr. Lake is a life long republican, a prominent hor ticulturist, an intelligent, wide awake gentleman ; a man of good address, a capable business man, and an eloquent and convincing speaker. Mr. Lake would be a progressive man in the interest of economy in the legislature and will be an efficient aid in putting the business affairs of the state upon a business basis. He is an admirer of Senator Mitch ell, and believes that he should be returned to the United States senate. Hoskins and Kings Valley Items. There is to be a dance at Hos kins hall May ist. Mr. Howard Bush and wife went to Albany Friday. Charlie McTimmons went to Albany one day last week. Will Troxell has been to Linn county after a fine Jersey cow. Mr. Willis Bump and wife, of Corvallis, are visiting relatives and friends in the valley. School began at Hoskin Mon day, April 6th, with Mrs. Hattie Williams, of Philomath as teach er. Bishop Dubbs of the United Evangelical church preached in Kings valley April ioth, to a full church. There was a lecture at the United Evangelical church Mon day evening, April 13th, by O. B, Whitmore. Mr. Robert Matheny and Miss Grace Dilley, of Wren, were down Friday evening to hear the Bish-, op preach. Mysterious. Nolan & now in.

The methods that governed the Albany convention should' not go unrebuked by republican newspapers. It was not conduct ed as a free, independent conven tion of the people's representa tives. The organization was . . tlimiiali nnlirirnl trick- f f,. r mt,;o. tion of aspirants, backed by an j other combination of bankers. This resulted in the selection of a domineering chairman who ruled arbitrarily in the interest of the combination, and against all parlimentary usages. The methods used may be con sidered good politics among pol iticians. They are not good pol itics for the party, nor good poli tics for the people. It is not the result that is objected to, for Mr. Tongue's ability and standing are not questioned. He will make an excellent candidate and a splendid congressman. It is the methods employed, not par ticularly in behalf of Mr. Tongue, but against one candi date who had a perfect right to come before the convention and have his candidacy accorded a free and fair consideration, that merits condemnation. These combinations and political schemes do not tend to unify the party, and independent criticism now will tend to prevent such work in future conventions. The Statesman published in full the speech of E. E. McKin- ney who seconded the nomina tion of Tillman Ford at the Albany convention. It ought also to have published its deliv ery. A very excellent thing for the state university to do, would be to keep members of its faculty from meddling: with Benton county politics. RBPXJBI.ICAK RESOLUTIONS. At the republican county convention several resolutions were adopted but were omitted last week iu the write-up of the proceedings, owing to lack of space. The first resolution adopted was one protest ing against state aid for normal or high schools, and also against appropriations for the maintenance of benevolent or sectariau institutions, TllS other resolu tions adopted were! Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention, that all county officers should perform all the duties of their respective per where the preservation of peace aud or der requires a large amount of deputy help. Be it Resolved: First That it is the sense of this con- x-n tinn flint tlif rlpnrecspr! condition of country, and the shrinkage of values are wholly due to the democratic free trade policy, and therefore we demand the en actment of a high protective tariff laws, so regulated ar.d adjusted that it shall effect alike our commerce, our agricul ture and our manufacture. Second We favor the construction of the Nicaragua canal, and that it should be controlled by our government Third We are in favor of a rigid en forcement of the Monroe doctrine by the government. Fourth We are in favor of an econom ical administration of the state govern ment, and demand that the salaries of all state officers be kept within the letter of the constitution. Fifth We demand the re-enactment of the mortgage tax law, and to allow all recorded indebtedness to be deducted from the tax payer's assessments. Sixth We demand the repeal of the law creating the railroad commission, the domestic animal commission, and the office of fish and game protector, the state board of equalization, the horticultural commission, and all laws appropriating money to support state and district fairs. Seventh We demand the repeal of all laws providing for the support and or ganization of the state malitia. Eighth We demand the repeal of the law creating the office of attorney gen eral.

Host of the students were present, and took an active part in the singing and other exercises. The O. A. C. Band dispensed some of tne latest music, and Dr. PI u mm or made an interest ing extempore address. President Blost guve a complete history of the Arbor Day as observed in America. A few extracts are given below: ' "When our lorefathers settled on the American continent a vast forest wilderness extended from the Atlantic ocean to the Mississippi. This forest was to dense that for the first 300 years it impeded the progress of civilization. Then, and daring all that period, tho success of civilization depended on the destruction of this forestv But, as civilization extended farther west, it was found that the " treoless prairies became a greater obstacle to settlement than had the forests of the east. It was on the great prairies that the value of tho tree was first realized. In Illinois and Iowa, previous to 1865, groves had been planted here and there, by men who were regarded by their neighbors as cranks. It remained for the State Board of Horticulture of the thin tree less state of Nebraska, in 1872, through the effort of our preseut Secretary of Agricul ture, J. Sterling Morton, to invent the thought and the word, 'Arbor Day." This board appointed an arbor day and offered a reward of $100 to that county agricultural society which would plant the greatest num ber of trees, and a reward of a $25 library to the individual who would plant the greatest number of trees. "This first Arbor Day was a success, 12, 000,000 trees being planted. The next year the sama flans were introduced into Kansas, Iowa, and Minnesota. In 1884, by tho con tinuance of this.ood beginning, Nebraska haj planted 10,000 acres, Kansas 100.0CO acres, and altogether a million acres of forest trees had been planted on what was once called the Great American Desert. Arbor Day does not look backward it looks to the ttiture. Thoso who planted the trees in 18' did not expect to realize the benefit of the forests thus planted. It was posterity whom they ex doc tod would reap the reward. But the thought was greater than Ihcy then con ceivo l. Out of it grew tho American dm eress of Forestry, and the timber land acts of the government. "Theso all looked to the economic result The destruction of tlu luiests of the eastern slates was fast making these states as treeless' as the jrnat prairies of the wost. By calcu lation in 18S4, it had been found Mint ths timber used in fuel and lumber equaled in amount which only under the most favora ble circumstances could be grown on 1,200, 000,000 acres, and that only 500,000,000 acres then remained in tho United Stale;. Hence it was only a question -of lime when all forest trees must be destroyed. To meet this great economic problem Arbor Day was founded. Men of all ages had been prodi gal of the present and only titular compul sion have thoy planned for results a hundred years hence. . "The new idea of Arbor D.-y the arbor day for the public schools the purpose being to instill into the youthful mind the more altruistic notion of planning results for the distant future was inaugurate at Cincin nnti, Ohio, under the direction of City Su'pt.' ! Pcaslee in lSStl, wh-in, with 20009 children of the public schools he wnnTto tu&wi' parks and planted thousand'. " of trees. In 1883, through tlio State Superintendent ofj West Virginia, the whole state was aroused and Arbor Day was kept in almost every school district. The next year a dozen states through the agency of tho schools organized tho work 'and sent out programs t : for carrying on the exorcises. In 1892 at the national .loiciiers- .association u was re- ported that 40 states had Arbor Day exer cises, now it is unanimous. "While th i work done in the public and private school has looked immediately to esthetic results tho adornment of the grounds around the school house and the homes yet this work is the very best prepa ration for great economic thought out of which it grew." - A tree was planted in honor of tho memory of the late Robert Erwin who had been con nected with the college since its reorganiza tion.
