Issued Erery Friday Morninsr by - fke Gazette Publishing Co. CORVALLIS, OREGON, June 25, 1897. THE COLLEGE. The people of Corvallis have no thought of attempting, in any vay to control the actions of the board of regents of the State Agricultural College. They na turally take a deep pride in the institution and desire its pros perity. They have done, and are always ready to do, all they can to advance its welfare. The members of the board are public servants and are subject to criticism, and the people ot Corvallis as citizens of Oregon, feel a perfect right to condemn any tendency in the board to ward making the college a polit ical plaything. Reasonable crit icism is not officious meddling. While events have proved the justice of the reflections upon the board's work of last vear in re gard to the presidency, it is but lair to some 01 tne regents to remark, that their action at that time was not altogether undefens ible, but the excuse that was orooer then, no longer exists. The people of Corvallis and of the state have laith in the board, and believe that it will not be controlled by narrow and im proper influences. Mr. Miller's application to be appointed consul to Munich, makes impossible his candidacy for re-election as head of the col lege. The reasons are apparent to anv man who has the slightest respect for dignity and the fit ness of things. It is a serious reflection upon Mr. Miller to con sider him a candidate. The board does not need to be informed as to the qualifications for an ideal president of such an institution. The regents are practical men of the world and have doubtless taken that intelligent and active interest in the college that their position demands. The fact that political notoriety does not in sure success as an educator, has been fully demonstrated. There is nothing to prevent harmonious, united action, in beliall 01 a grand and successful career for the Oregon Agricultural College. POPULISM. Populist are prone to praise themselves as the advocates of a new movement. "New force," "new dispensation," "new sys tem" are favorate expressions of their orators and writers. They claim to be original agitators of fiat money and of semi-fiat money or of "16 to 1" silver money. Populism may be a new term, but the essence of populism is as old as history as old as false reasoning. All nations have had their promoters of populistic financiering. Our own country has suffered from populistic theo rists long before there was such a thing as a populist party. John Randolph once said that he had discovered perpetual motion in .the claimed fact that: "Paper makes money. Money makes banks. Banks make poverty. Poverty makes rags. Rags make paper. Paper makes money.' ' The financial platform of the populist party of to-day could hardly be better expressed. Its own premises make it logically the advocate of poverty in its de maud for more money. The majority of populists are not incapable of sound reasoning. They are not suddenly entrapped in the maze of fallacious theories. They are first led to look upon the dark side of life. This world has always had plenty of trouble, but they are taught to believe that their hardships are peculiar to this generation. To them is preached the gospel of dissatis faction for populism cannot thrive on contentment. Their ills are magnified and the future is painted in somber hues. They are then in a condition to accept irrational theories, to look upon any financial scheme as their means of salvation and to become full fledged populists. Populism can be cured, but the victim must cure himself. The remedy is reason and cold bluut facts. It is not the citizen but the populism that is iu him, that sound sense and patriotism would destroy. IT is not surprising that the Orcgonian regards untruthful ness as a "trivial offense." That paner's policy for years in pub lic matters has been one of mis representation, falsfication and unfairness, and it is but natural that it should term lying, treachery and deceit,gentlemanly attributes and necessary adjuncts a Artl f -I to success, x ae cnarges 01 lying made against Dr. Chapman of the state university, may not be true, but the fact that they are made by the most reputable citi zens of Eugene men of social, business and fiuancial standing is, certainly enough to warrant and dein?.nd an investigation. If the charges, made so directly, are proven, it is unfair to pre sume that the board of regents will retain Dr. Chapman at the head of Oregon's university. To do so would place a premium on dishonesty make vice a virture. The good citizens of Oregon ap plaud the opposition to Presi dent Chapman when it says the university of Oregon shall not be converted into a hospital wherein the youth of the state is to be inoculated with the poison ous virus of falsehood and deceit. If the charges are untrue, Pres. Chapman has nothing to loose by an investigation. Senator McBride is interest ing himself in the wool schedule of the new tariff bill. He insists upon a rate that will give an ad equate protection to the wool owners of the west NEWS FROM THE COUNTRY. Picnic at Blodgett Doings of People in Various Locali ties. HONROB ITEMS.

It's a very natural feeling. In the normal condition of things gray hairs belong to advanced age. They have no business whitening the head of man or. woman, who has not begun to go down the slope of life. As a matter of fact, the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of life's seasons ; sometimes '-'it is whitened by sickness,' but more often'- from lack of care. When the hair fades or turns gray there's no need to resort to hair dyea. The normal color of the hair is restored and retained by the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor.
