(A Issued Every Thursday Morning by The Gazette Publishing Oo. B. W. JOHRSON, (Editor and Business Manager. CORVALLIS, OREGON, JULY 9, 1896. SIMON VS. BOURNE. The Oregonian is demanding the resignation of Jonathan Bourne, secretary of the state re publican committee, giving as its alleged reason, the supposed luke warmness of his party loyalty. The only evidence it offers in sup port of this charge is the well know lact that Mr. Bourne is a silver man. The Oregonian should have no influence in determining the man agement of the republican cam paign, nor in the selection of the committee officers. It is not a republican paper. It is a pro- Vfessional bolter. The Oregonian is riding astride of one idea it is a veritable monomaniac. The republican party will never be a one-idea party, and its manage ment should be in the hands of those who recognize the true mis sion and purpose of the party. Joe Simon rises to say that Bourne must go, for the party good demands' a "true republi can" as secretary. Simon is one who believes that a true republi can is he, who. as chairman of the state central committee, would have republican tickets printed and distributed, bearing the name of a democratic politi cian for judge of the supreme court, instead of the republican nominee. Simon is the man, who having control of the state campaign, plotted to defeat D. P. Thompson for governor, and elect Mr. Pennoyer, the populist, This man "doubts Bourne's party loyalty." Hetfry McGinn, cuckoo and tongue of Simon, echoes 'Bourne must go." This drunk en ward heeler, a disgrace to the judiciary of Oregon, compliments Bourne by disliking him. He is a fellow who never voted tor a republican unless he was a Simon man. This man doubts Bourne's loyalty. Harvey Scott wants Bourne dismissed. Scott is the editor who urged the election of Populist Quinn over Republican . Elliii. Scott is the professional bolter. He should have no more authority in the republican party of Oregon than the emperor of China. Mr. Bourne has no right to re sign at the dictates of such men as these. Nor has he any right to obey the dictates of so-called republican clubs of Yamhill or Marion counties, nor the demands of such politicians as Apperson, of Clackamas. These counties gave populist pluralities. The republican self-appointed leaders in these counties have by their woeful lack of sagacity, their dis gusting conceit, and selfish pur poses, given Clackamas, Yamhill and Marion to the populists. Such management as their' s will lose us the state in November. When the republicans of Polk, Tillamook, Benton, Lane, Curry, Douglas, Lake, "ClatsopGilhani, Grant Wasco, and the other re publican counties speak, Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Bourne may well who Doited iillis and leit tne listen.

Those who fret themselves into a frenzy over the financial ques tion lose sight of the fact that there is a great body of American citizens who have a decent regard for other important matters that concern this nation of ours. The radical advocates and opponents of free silver have worked them- j selves into a mental state that j allows them neither to reason nor j to listen to reason. They nave come to imagine that the pros perity of the nation and the sal vation of the people depends upon the adoption of their money views by the government They fill the air with their lamenta tions and fairly succeed in drown ing the cool voice of truth. With the supremest indiffer ence to actuality, they have appropriated McKinley as the representative of this sole issue? They make him the special object of their adoration or hate. "Hurrah for McKinley and the gold standard !" shout one faction of these fanatics." "Anything to beat McKinley, the 'gold bug," cries the other. Yet, what little excuse they have for making McKinley their god or devil of finances! It was the masses that nomi nated McKinley and it should be apparent to the craziest financial ite that it was not as a represent ative of any peculiar financial views that he gained his popular ity. In fact, the uncertainty of his position on the money ques tion was severely criticised before the convention, but it did not prevent his nomination. It is the principle of protection that McKinley chiefly represents, and his nomination proves that the return to that principle is 'the greatest concern of the great mass of American voters. Patriotism does not seem to be the mother of invention. Our Fourth of July celebrations sel dom vary from the old type. The parade of soldiers and fire men, the brass bands, the god dess of liberty, the little girls that represent the states, the I explosions of powder, and the inevitable nreworks, greet us year after year. Sameness seems to be the law. Even the two column Fourth of July panegyric of our populist cotemporary, the Times, had a strangely familiar appearance, suggestive of "books we have read." The insinuation of the Bee that "several of the erold bugs who voted the gold bug ticket in June have come out for free sil ver," is misleading and without foundation 01 tact, and we cnal lenge our neighbor to name even one. On'the contrary, scores of those who voted the bimetallic ticket are pronounced for Mc Kinley gold or no gold.

How to retain our trade is a matter of much concern at this time to the business men of Cor vallis. For years past Albany, Independence, Harriburg and Junction hae steadily striven for Benton county business, and each of these towns has succeeded surprisingly. Although this en croachment upon our territory has been slow, it has been none the less subtle, determined and vigi rant. The trade that "Corrallis merchants enjoyed five years ago has fallen off to a marked degree, and in the aggregate the loss may safely be estimated at from 35 to 50 per cent. Beginning at Gran ger and taking in Fairmount pre cinct and the eastern hal' of Soap Creek precinct, we find most ol' the truJe going to Albany, and from Soap Greek North, and as far west as King's Valley a consid erable amount ot trade finds its way to Independence. In the southe n portion of the county are found many citizens whose grocer ies, provisions and clothing are purchased m Junction and Harris burg, while even in Corvallis we see a large amount of business diverted to Albany. This is a matter that has grown gradually, and only recently have the local business men awakened to find that while they slept their pushing neighbors had surrepti tiously encroached upon the terri tory theretofore tributary to Cor vallis, and captured much business which our merchants might con trol. This trade has been wrested from their grasp so quietly and slowly that the loss was not appre ciable for some time and only now has the matter assumed such proportions that there is a demand for prompt and vigorous action on the part of Corvallis business inter ests to reclaim their losses. There are many influences that have tended to divert business from Benton's metropolis which will be hard to overcome. In the first place, the Ir-e bridge at Alba- ny altorus tne residents 01 ine north end of the county a more convenient market, while the deplorable condition of the roads, during portions of the year, lead ing to Corvallis, rendered trading here inconvenient and often im practicable. We might have equalized the loss in the north end of the county, alter the Albany bridge was constructed, by ouild ing a bridge here, and although the matter was disc ssed consider ably and some liberal subscriptions vouchsafed by enterprising citi zens, among them Judge Burnett, who offered to head the list with a donation of $500, the .plan failed to be properly encouraged and the mailer came to naught. Another reason for our losses has been a woeful lack of unanimity ot pur pose on the part of our business j men. We nave no board ot trade 1 or other organization of business , his family to the coast lor the sum men for the furtherance of our,mer commercial interests. In fact we Leonard Herron has been ad have gone to sleep wailing over the hard times, and until we arouse ourselves from our prolonged leth argy and organizo thoroughly for a vigorous campaign the retriev ing of our losses will be impossi ble. Another matter many of our business men overlook or fail to realize the importance of, is pub licity. Says a prominent writer on this subject, 'Advertising is business. The man who cannot utilize advertising in his business has no business to be in business and generally isn't. The most .successful business men prove, by liberal expenditure, that there never have been times so dull that extra advertising did not pay. The foolish business man cuts his publicity appropriation when bus iness appears to be poor and allows the neighbor in business to cut into his old customers, and keep new ones away f om him." A perusal of the Corvallis papers during most seasons of the year might, by the amount of advertis ing appearing in them, reason ably convey to a stranger the impression that this is little more than a county cross-roads. It is probably true, as a busi ness man stated the other day, that there is no better market for agricultural products in the state than Corvallis. It is well known that as a grain center Corvallis has attained a state wide reputa tion, her grain buyers having for several years paid from one to five cents per bushel for wheat above tin quotations in neighboring towns. On account of he excep tional transportation facilities no city of the valley can undersell Corvallis, and few of them .in leed can successfully compete with her. Possessing so many natural advaniages. there is no good reason why Corvallis should iv t be t he most prosperous and enterprising town in the valley it not m the state. . . Albany's bridge dost $110,000 01' which amount the county Linn assumed $40,000, leaving $70,000 for which the city has issued bonds bearng interest at the rate of 6 per cent. Thus, the interest, together with the expense of repairs, annually costs Albany over $6,000, yet her citizens claim the construction of the -bridge to have been, a paying investment. It is not necessary, however, for Corvallis to construct an expeu sive bridge across the Willamette at this point in order to derive practically, the same benefits that have accrued to Albany by the building of her bridge. A free terry at Corvallis for practical results will do quite as well as a bridge and cost very much less Several years ago Fred Blunihart. proprietor of the ferry here, made a very liberal proposition to the business men, but for some reason it was not accepted. In effect his agreement was, that for $1500 per annum he would operate his terry free to the public and keep up all repairs. At a safe estimate this plan would have had the effect of increasing the trade of Corvaliis fullv $10,000 annuallv. This sum is probably close to the amount of our losses in the north end of the county by reason of the Albany bridge. But their original invest ment was $110,000 and it costs 1 hem not less than $6,000 per annum to maintain the bridge, wh'le for $1,500 per year without any further investment, Corvallis could ofiset Albany's gains from 1 his county. Eternal vigilance is the price of business. The business men of Corvallis have in their own hands the power to regain their lost trade and acquire new business. This wiil not be easily accomplished, parhaps, but what is worth having is worth working for. Our busi ness people must work together, be ready to make concessions, and pay contributions. They should organize and adopt some definite plan of operation. And then, individually they can do a great deal more than they are doing both for themselves and for the town in general. If Corvallis wants business she must b- enter prising. Enterprise does not mean extravagance it means wide awakeness, push and thrift. 1 Philomath Items- Mrs. O. A. Jackson is visiting in Eugene. .
