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.
To Stop a Cold
After exposure or when you feel a cold
coming on, take a dose of Folej's Honey
and Tar. It neyer fails to stop a cold if

A Charming Evening.
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. The invited guests,
to the number of fortv, assem
bled in the parlors, where a
short time was spent in social
conversation. At 9 'clock, an
elegant Christmas dinner, which
was much enjoyed and thorough
ly discussed by all present, was
served-in the dining room which
was prettily decorated in green
and white. At 11 o'clock, the
guests departed, carrying with
them none but pleasant memor
ies, as well as the kindly wishes
of their host and hostess; and
leaving in their wake many
beautiful as well as ustful
presents.

A Physician Testilles.
"I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and have never used anything in my
life that did me the good that did." says
County Physician George W. Scroggsof
Hall County, Ga. "Being a physician

decays there and poisons the system.
You can prevent this by dieting but that
means starvation. Kodol Dispepsia

Brain-Food Nonsense.
Another ridiculous food fat has been
branded by the most competent authori
ties. They have dispelled the piTTy
notion that one kind of 'food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nouiisb a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other r art.
Yet, however geed your food may be,
its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their coming
by taking regular doses of Green's
August Flower, the favorite medicine of
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the b'ood, and makes
you feel buoyant and vigorous. You
