w6 T1Z "0RVALL1S GAZETTE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1901. in on STATE RIGHTS. Of all the doctrines held and taught in the political history of this republic none has been so pernicious, so fruitful of evil as that of state rights. The colonies' had long been separate J governments, wholly independ ent of one another, and filled with suspicion, jealousyand envy, not unfrequently attended with bitter strife. The exigencies of the revolutionary struggle forced them, for the time being, to put aside their contentions and form a confederation for the common defense and to prosecute their purpose of ultimate political in dependence of the mother coun try. Not unfrequently did their petty iealousies seriously menace the successful termination of the contest upon which they had en tered, Every one, familiar with our historv knows how, when our independence had been achieved, the articles of confedeiation were found to be wholly inadequate for the purposes of a general gov ernment for the states. ! It was found to be impossible to amend these articles so that ef ficient government might be con ducted under them and it was de termined to lormulate a more comprehensive and perfect scheme of government. This was delayed and all but defeated by the jealousies of the several states. After every necessary concession had been made and the convention had agreed upon a constitution, "the most perfect ever devised by the ingenuity of man," and the instrument had been referred to the several states for ratification, the contest was renewed with, intensified bitter ness in the state legislatures. But one state gave it unqualified ap proval. No sooner was the government instituted under the constitution than there sprang up two great political parties holding widely di vergent views as to the powers it conferred upon the general govern ment. All power not granted to the federal government is reserved to the several states, so the doe trine of states rights was contin ually thrust forward to thwart defeat public measures un- rtaken by the administrations earlier presidents of the re- iWashujgton. Adams, Jefferson, Madison and -Monroe were all accused in turn of men acing the rights of certain statts. The administration of Madison was so persistently hampered and obstructed by the application of this doctrine that the government was almost disrupted during the war of 1812. No patriotic American can read the history of that period and not feel the blush of shame mantliug his cheek. Gradually, painfully but cer tainly the so called free states became more and more inclined to a strong central government. The slave states, however, where provincial conditions continued to exist, remained firm adher ents to the doctrine. This was their position at the outbreak of the civil war. It really seems that but for the firm lodgement this doctrine had in the south with the mass of the - people se cession would have been impos sible. They had long been taught that secession was a re served right Jefferson had em bodied it in the ordinance of 1798. Her leaders had always taught that paramount allegiance was to the state, not to the na tional government. It was this that made easy the defection of Gen. R. E. Lee and scores of prominent southern men. But in that fratricidal strife the doc trine of state rights was forced back to its rightful and reason able premises. Never again will it plunge our common country into any sort of peril whether from without or within. In spite of all its hinderances we are now the most powerful of nations and yet have the freest and most be nign government. Sometimes the ghost of state rights stalks through democratic camps and jabbers, ' 'you attend to your business and I will attend to mine," but it terrifies no one. The man who would recall it to life or who hides behind its grave clothes is simplyplaying the part of a conscious demagogue. A Good Summary. Mrs. I. A. Nash, who former ly resided in this city recently contributed an article to the Homestead, and 'among other truths, said: Twenty or more years ago there was in Western Oregon a virgin soil, that, with scratching and sowing, grew a crop. The farmer could easily live off his own produce. But a man's life all the word implies depends more than food and cloth"ng. True Oregon wheat could com pete in 1 he markets of the world, but the grower had to pay many cents 011 the dollar for railroad transportation only to the coast. U Fruit was unmarketable; and , g many a nnely-planted orchard due probably to the influence of Philip Ritz might be seen with a long growth of "old man's beard" hanging from its branch es, never pruned, never harvested, but just fed to the hogs. Times have chauged. Our bonnie red apples pay the grower over a dollar a box in the Lon don market, to say nothing of that of our Eastern cities. Our wheat holds its own, with trans portation expenses considerably reduced. Our farmers have many side industries as well now, because it is worth their while ; now they can afford to market tkem, besides replenishing the Issme larder. They can mostly afford to enjoy the many pleas ant accessories to life, and lie down at last with the comfortable assurance that they are leaving ample provision for their families. No Hope of Bonus. Hopes which have been raised among bpanisn -American war veterans, that they were about to get a bounty of $195 each from the eovernment, have been dashed to the ground. The re port was aroused thiough the publication of a report that a Brooklyn lawyer, nosing among the old Federal laws, had un earthed one by whose provision the government would be com pelled to pay this bounty to all the faithful men who fought for Uncle Sam m the recent war. A Brooklyn lawyer is supposed to have started the report in the hope that hixself, or others. be enabled to fleece those veter ans who wanted their claims filed, etc. The government has given the matter some attention and a special circular has been sent out by Auditor of ths War Department Rittinan. After going over the matter very carefully and giving all in formation regarding the "lake1 dispatch that appeared in the leading: daily papers on or about Sept. 29, tigoi, the circulars concludes tis follower proving positively that there is no hope of a bonus: It is only necessary to say, in conclusion, that there is no foun dation whatever for any such statements as are set forth said dispatch, so far as the United States is concerned, and it hoped that those who are inter ested in this matter will not be inducedto make useless inquir ies or to file worthless claims on account of such misrepresen tations. Let Us Beautify Corvallis. We are of course deeply interested the prospect of having the Lewis and uiarK Exposition a realized tact in our midst in the near future, and quite right it is that Oregon should share with other widely separated sectfous of our country in"the benelits to u de iv d from this world movement which turns the eyes and thoughts of many people upon the material prosperity of the region where these expositions are held. This exposition will evoke, as eveiy such venture must, wide and persistent advertisement in which will be set forth every possible inducement to break up that self-satisfied equilibrium which stays at home, and is content with the "homely wits" which too much home keeping engenders. Necessary as is this measure, to awaken public interest, through the interest of the pen, yet a fatal blow would be given to the vitals of progress if work in this great event did not keep pace with the spirit of the press. Doubtless hundreds of visitors while here will visit different sections of this state, and Corvallis, being easy of access, will have its share of sight-seers and home-seekers. Let each one ask himself then, what can I do in the three years that he between the "then" and "now to improve and beautify my home tewn? Corvallis has always been regarded as unparalleled for situation, nestling as it does in the green chalace made by encir cling hills, that bring .rest and refresh ment as we lift our eyes to their clear beauty in the morning hours, or when robed in the amber and opalescent hues of evening. Yet, with all that nature has done for us, our town will lie like dregs in this beautiful cup, unless we choose by personal effort to fill it with the sparkling nector of beauty, deep draughts of which should daily be ours.

One of the most delightful parties of the season was given by Mr. and Mrs Clarence Chip man, Wednesdav evening, being the 20th anniversary of their marriage.
