CORY AI, LIS, OREGON. AUG. 20, 1896.
Citizens of Benton county,
irrespsrtive of past political affil
iations, who believe that the best
interests of the nation demand
the election of M c Kin ley, are ask
ed to m set at the court house Fri
day evening, for the purpose of
organizing a McKlnley club.
The call forthe meeting is signed
by about 100 voters, and a large
attendance is expected.
LEGALIZED COUNTERFEITING.
The counterfeiter is dangerous.
His is the most despicable kind
of theft. He is the secret busi
ness enemy of the common peo
ple. The government at great
expense maintains a corps of men
to ferret out and bring to justice
those who counterfeit the coin of
the land. The counterfeiter
strikes at the life blood of com
merce, and he is accounted the
most dangerous of criminals.
In counterfeiting silver coins,
the coiners now use the same
amount of silver as is in the legal
dollar about 53 cents and their
only difficulty is in imitating the
mechanical appearance. They
thus make a profit, not consider
ing labor and tools, of about 110
per cent on their bullion invest
ment, and unmolested would soon
grow wealthy at the expense of
the general public. . -
The government, however,
pursues such, enterprise with un
relenting vigor. . It traces out the
source of the spurious coin, al
though it is intrinsically worth
as much as the government dollar,
destroys the tools and sends the
counterfeiters to prison for long
terms. . These criminals have no
sympathisers among honorable
men. Where is the honest man
that upholds their crime, or de
nounces the severely of the gov
ernment? The government is
protecting its citizens, and main
taining confidence in the money
bearing its stamp. Farmers and
working men do not applaud,
nor advocate counterfeiting be
cause bankers are especially inter
ested in fighting it. They need
protection even more than the
bankers for they are not expert
in detecting the false money as
are those who handle large sums
daily. Counterfeiting is a crime
gainst everybody. .
Would not the man who bold
ly proclaimed counterfeiting . to
be a virtue, and advocated the re
peal of the laws forbidding it, be
looked upon as a public enemy ?
Suppose that he ran for the pres
idency of our nation upon the
sole issue "counterfeiting must
be legalized." Could eloquence
rally a respectable following to his
support ? Would farmers vote
for him, thinking that in injur
ing the bankers they would bene
fit themselves ? The supposition
seems too monstrous for even im
agination. And yet is there any real differ
ence between that issue and the
policy that the voter of America
are now asked to endorse ? Mr.
Bryan goes further than our sup
posed candidate. The latter
would simply allow private par
ties to coin 53 cents into what
would purport to be a dollar of
United States money, unmolest
ed by law. Mr. Bryan would
give this privilege and have the
government pay the expense of
coining. . Can youthful eloquence
win the American people to sup
port such a proposition? They
are in a desperate financial con
dition and anxious for relief, but
surely when they seriously re
flect, they will never attempt to
regain prosperity by voting to
legalize counterfeiting.
If it .is possible, as the Times
asserts, for our government to
raise the price of commodities
by legislation, why should this
power be exercised only for the
benefit of silver. Our farmers
xertainly need the benefit of this
extraordinary law-making for
their products. They produce
real wealth but are forced to sell
their grain below the cost of pro
duction. In truth the govern
ment cannot artificially raise the
market price of any coinmdity
unless it taxes someone for
the means. If the profits of
the silver mine owners are to be
doubled the farmers may be as
sured that it will be at their ex
pense. What th; government
gives away, it must take from the
people, and farmers are usually
'the people," when it comes to
taxation.
ITS OWN CREATION:
With labored words and pon
derous sentences, that breathes
out a vague feeling of exulta
tion, the Times proceeds to show
that free silver would .not bring
the American people bowu to the
moral and intellectual level of
the Mexicans and Orientels. It
is a convinceing editorial and
may be considered a knock out
for the free silver side. The
Times as free silvers, doughty
champion is entitled to a medal
of straw, for its victim was a straw
man. 'of its own manufacture.
Has any opponent of depreciated
money ever claimed that an un
fortunate change in our monitary
system would have a serious effect
on the morals or intelligence of
our people ? The Times chooses
and easy task in disproving a
proposition that no one ever be
lieved or advanced.
To say that the adoption of
free silver at the present ratio
would sink us to the commercial
level of Mexico and Japan is
quite another matter and when
people thus .argue they speak
from the dictation of common
sense. Business is done on a
money basis and if we drop down
to the monetary basis of those
countries,our business will follow
suit, and there will be a crash
when we fall.
The free silver remedy has
plenty to do if it answers the
grave charges that are really ad
vanced against it, without de
fending itself from attacks that
exist only in the imagination of
its champions.
As Others See It.
Mr. Miller is a capable, scholar
ly gentleman, and will make an
excellent president of the college.
Albany Herald.
The Corvallis Gazette strikes
right out lrom the ohouluer in its
comments on the political election
of Harry Miller to the presidency
of the Agricultural College. Yam
hill Independent.
Herbert Condon has been elect
ed private secretary (a useless po
Isition) to H. B. Miller, the new
president ot the Oregon Agricul
tural College, at a salary of $1,000
a year. Koseburg Keview.
The election of Hon. II. B. Mil
ler to the presidency of the State
Agricultural College at Corvallis
was a wise action on the part of
the regents and gives bright prom
ise for the future of that useful
institution. Washington Hatchet
The board of regents of the Ag
ricultural College have elected H.
B.Miller to be president of the
school? This is a departure from
ordinary methods in that it places
business management of finances
above literary attainments. It is
somewlirt of an experiment.
llillsboro Independent.
In Oregon every public institu
tion is in a measure a political ma
chine. This is illustrated by the
election of H. B. Miller to the
presidency of the Oregon Agricul
tural College, that gentleman hav
ing never given any indication of
a fitness for such a position. How
ever, as a political wirepuller his
services were well worthy of recog
nition. Koseburg Review. ;
uorvauis papers matte savage
attacks on the appointment of Mr.
H. B. Miller to the presidency of
the State Agricultural College
They allege that this connects the
college with politics. Nevertheless,
it may be predicted with certainty
that there will be nothing at all
political or.partizan in Mr. Miller's
administration of the college. He
is a man of sense, and a practical
man, and will soon show that there
is no ground for this criticism and
opposition. Oregouiau.
. H. B. Miller, of -Grants Pass, has
been appointed president of the
Oregon Agricultural College for
the ensuing year. This appoint
ment does not meet with the ap
proval of the people around Cor
vallis, who say Miller is not an
educator but a politician, and that
he is therefor unfitted for the
place, says the East Oregonian.
ihis appointment is an unfortu
nate Diuuaer. Miller is no more
qualified for the position than a
chimney-sweep is for the ranks of
swell society. Heppner Gazette
The selection of H. B. Miller as
president of the Oresron Affricul-
tural College at Corvallis is a com
pliment to Mr. Miller, but not to
the state; not that Mr. Miller is not
a gentleman in every sense of the
word, but because he is not a prac
tical educator, a Qualification ab
solutely indisnensible to a success
ful college president. The schools
of the state and especially the col
leges should by all means be under
the direct guidance of an eiDeri-
enced educator. The salary that
Mr. Miller draws in this new posi
tion is that much monev thrown
away. St. Helens Mist.
Mr. Miller, a "business man,"
but one apparently out of a job,
known chiefly as an extremely par
tisan politician, has been made
president of the Oregon Agricul
tural College. It is impossible to
banish the supposition that he, like
McElroy, was given a position be
cause he is a political worker, not
because of auy sufficient merit.
IVo of the leading educational in
stitutions of Oregon, supported
largely by the state, are thus made
a dumping ground for selfish and
impudent place-hunters. Such
appointments are scarcely less than
scandalous. Portland Welcome.
It ir unfortunate that political
manipulation is soften crowded in
to the most sacred institutions of
the state. It is unfortunate because
such manipulations result only in
injury, rolitics Had. a great aeai,
in fact, too much, to do with the
recent official election at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, where a
man who is neither a person of
letters nor even a practical agri
culturist, has been elected chief
executive. Owing to the known
unfitness of this man for the posi
tion, the faculty is handicapped,
and many of the former students
refuse to return to their stud'es at
this institution. Dufer Dispatch
Now that Mr. Miller has been
elected, whatever the means used
may have been, we must give him
a chance to show what metal he is
made of. The Democrat believes
a college president should be train
ed for the. position; but if Mr. Mil
ler can demonstrate his capacity,
without such training even of an
agricultural college we shall be
glad to learn of the mode. It is a
position that takes executive abil
ity and wa shall watch with inter
est how he executes things. Per
haps he will prove a college rust
ler. President Chapman of the
U. of O. is built up for the work,
and yet the Democrat is informed
that there is considerable dissatis
faction over his retention among
some of the students, displaying
the fact that even "college" men
do not always take with everybody.
Albany Democrat.
President H. B. Miller i well
known throughout Oregon, haying
resided in the state since 1876, se
lecting Eugene as his first residence
place, being at that time in the
bridge building business. He-after-ter
wards took up his . abode in
(irants Pass where he operated a
large factory.. He served one term
in the state legislature, having been
elected a member of that body
from Josephene county, and from
that time on has been more cr less
identified with the educational in
stitutions or the state and enjoys
I the acquaintance of a large circle

practical, upright and honorable
business man. His hundreds of
friends will be pleased upon learn
ing of his appointment. Eugene
Register.
The action of the board in the
selection of Mr. Miller as president,
does not give satisfaction to friends
of the school in this county. Mr.
Miller has many warm political
friends here, and is esteemed as a
gentleman of honor and integrity,
but there is a firm belief that he
has no qualification as an educator.
There is also a strong belief among
the friends of the O. A. C. in this
county that there should be an ab
solute divorcement of the school
from politics, and the selection of
Mr. Miller is generally looked upon
as a political deal. This belief is
reinforced by the very recent res
ignation of Mr. Miller as one of the
regents, and the appointment ol
Mr. Hughes, of Washington county,
to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hughes
cast the d cisive ballot tor Mr. Mil
ler, as the vote would have stood
six and six had Mr. Miller been
one of the regents and not voted
for himself. Lincoln Leader.
Hon. H. B. Miller was elected
president of the Oregon Agricul
tural College at Corvallis' at the
meeting of the board of trustees
on Tuesday. The resignation of
President Bloss some weeks ago
was followed by the announcement
that the board which consists of
Governor Lord, Secretary Kincaid,
the state superintendent, and ap
pointed regents, would place at
the head of the institution a man
well versed in bifsiness affairs as
well as fitted from a literary point
of view for the impor ant position.
Several applicants were mentioned
including Ex-Supt. McElroy, bui
Mr. Miller was chosen as the most
acceptable. "Mr. Miller has been a
resident of Oregon sinco 1876. has
been prominent in the manufac
turing interests in Josephine coun
ty, prominent in politics, ambi
tious, a good speaker and possessed
of considerable ability as a speaker
and writer. Ashland Tidings.
Harry Miller, the well-known
Southern Oregon politician, who
has been training for Herm inn's
place in congress for these many'
years has at last got a berth, which
he fits like a square peg in a round
hole. This week he was elected
president of the State Agricultural
College of Corvallis. It is not
claimed that Miller has education
al qualifications for the position,
but he is known to be a good bridge
carpenter and contractor, and, a
firstclass politician, and the board
considered that these qualifications
were ample for the job. Proba
bly this is the only college in the
United States in which a mechanic
with a common school education is
president over a lot of college pro
lessors. After this we shall not
be surprised to hear of a good brick
layer or hod carrier being elected
to the presidency of Yale or Har
vard at the next vacancy. No lime
should be lost .. in conferring the
degree of M. A.., L. L. D., X. Y. Z.,
on the new Oregon college presi
dent. Fossil Journal Republish
ed in the PdneYUte Reyjev,
The final selection of. Hon. II. B.
Miller as president of the O. A. C.
ha3 stirred up a teeling of dissatis
faction that is widespread. Mr.
Miller no doubt possesses energy
and some ability such as is requir
ed in the management of an insti
tution of learning. The mere fact
thai his appointment is based on
political influence rather than ed
ucational qualifications is a matter
of very serious import to the growth
of the Agricultural College. No
college, much less one devoted to
the instruction of our young peo
ple in agricultural pursuits, should
ever be placed under the control;
and head of a . man whose life
record is tainted in the least, with
political scheming. We predict
the mistake has been made that
will greatly impair the usefulness
of the O. A. C. Those who sup-
ported Mr. Miller instead of a nian
of educational attainments and
entirely free from political intrigue,
have deliberately eliminated the
sympathy and active co-operation
and support of the farmers of Ore
gon. This is a sad blow and one
that Lincoln county feels as deep
ly as our sister county, Benton.

a brazen-faced trick he has placed
at the head of that great college,
one unknown to educational life,
with everything to learn within the
scope of his duties . as president of
a school. He has elevated to the
position of president of the Agri
cultural College Hon. H. B. Miller,
of Eugene, a man who has had no
experience whatever to fit him for
the position, except that he is a
successful politician, and possibly
might become a successful rival
for gubernatorial honors two years j

Now Miller has his reward. His
appointment, like MeElroy's to the
state university, was really to pay
old political debts. What do we
Americans care ' for-education of
our youth any now, compared to
rewarding our old politicians ? Let
us be patriots and the children can

challenge is thrown down that he
is not a man of scientific attain
