EDITORIAL COMMENT.
An exchange says a subscriber
asked the origin of the phrase 4 'he
isn't in it." It was first used by
an editor who died, and went to
heaven. He looked around for
the man who took his paper for
seven vears and then left it at
the postoffice marked "refused,"
but "he was't in it".

Oregon will a good market for
her meats and biead-stufis as soon
as the war between Japan and
Russia opens. The latter nation
has already placed an order for
1,000,000 lbs of extra mess beef
at Omaha, and the time for ship
ment is about up. Oregon has
the food to sell. Gentlemen of
the Orient, send in your orders.

The poultry show at Albany
last week was well patronized and
will be the same as heretofore, a
factor in helping to build up the
poultry industry of this part of
the state. Two things are needed,
ist more poultry; 2nd better poul
try. The man who becomes in
terested in better poultry will raise
more of it. The man who raises
more poultry will want better poul
try. Let the poultry shows con
tinue until every farmer raises
nothing but thoroughbreds.
Lebanon Criterion.
How many Americans are there
who can tell where the flag of
the United States was first raised?
A few weeks ago the spot where
Washington unfurled the first
American flag was marked by
the dedication of a small park
and an observatory on Prospect
Hill, in Somerville, Massachu
setts. This eminence occupied
the same relation to Boston on
the northwest that Bunker Hill
occupied on the north, and next
to that more tamous spot, was
the stronghold of Washington's
troops. We give this to the
boys and eirls of the Corvallis
schoolsas an extra lesson in his
tory.

Rnssia is nothing but a blamed
old hog. She already owns and
governs one-sixth of all the land
of the world, yet she is not satis
fled. All she wants now is the
land that joins hers. Manchuria
has 400,000 square miles, and
she wants to colonize it Japan has
less than 150,000 square miles not
more than half of which is in
habitable. Yet on this little
patch she has nearly one-third
the population of all Russia.
Japan must have more room, and
wishes to colonize Corea that is,
to pursue exactly the same policy
in that country that Russia
wishes to do in Manchuria.
Here is where the hog kicks. It
is a turkey and buzzard case, but
Russia says nothing but turkey.
We hope Japan will get Corea.

The Grand Army of the Re
public are all in favor of the new
Service Pension Bill, granting a
pension of $12 per month, to all
soldiers who served 90 days or
over, simply because of their ser
vice. It is iairer than the pres
ent practice of passing special
bills for the relief of individual
soldiers whose claims have been
rejected by the Pension Bureau.
The advocates say : 4 'Let us give
all these worthy veterans a ser
vice pension instead of passing a
batch ot special "pension bills
every session - for relief of indi
vidual soldiers, who know enough
to ask relief and whose congress
man is influential enough to ob
tain for them relief." At the
present time it looks very much
as if the bill would go through.
The bill also provides for a pen
sion for widows, who were mar
ried prior to June 27, 1S90, and
to minor children. We hope to
see every one of the Pacific Coast
congressmen supporting this bill,
and that it will soon become a
ktw.

The Yellow Terror in the Ori
ent is a mere nothing compared
to the " Yellow" terror which
hangs like a pall over the Na
tional Democratic party. It is
the bugbear that will not down
the phamtom that refuses to be
aid. it is wz aeaaiy iear pnac
William Randolph Hearst will
secure the democratic "nomina
tion for president. And they are
all waiting for a" providential dis
pensation that will relieve Ihem.
This recalls a story of Hearst and
Tom Fitch that is not generally
known. Some few years ago,
Fitch and Hearst were standing
together near the property owned
by the latter, on the corner oi
Third and Market Sts.,, San
Francisco.. It had been the an
nounced intention of Hearst to
put up a building oh that corner
that would overtop the Chronicle
and Call, buildings opposite.
Says Tom: -"Well, Willie! when
do you start on your new build
ing?" 4 4 We have abandoned
the idea Mr. Fitch," says Hearst.
"I am so sorry" says Fitch, 4 'I
did hope you would put up a
building higher than the Chron
icle. I wanted to see the three
newspaper structures all clustered
here together. And then Willie,
I did hope, I did so hope, that
God, in his merciful kindness
would send an earthquake where
it would do the most good."

There is a bill introduced in
Congress by the Hon. Walter P.
Brownlow of Tennessee, and the
Hon. Jacob H. Gallinger, mem
ber of the Senate from New
Hampshire, appropriating $24,-
000,000 on the part of the Na
tional Government as national
aid in building wagon roads.
This money is to be apportioned
among the States according to
Hi err population, except that no
State shall receive.less than $250,-
000. Oregons share will be
$250,000; Each State receiving
National aid from the Govern
ment must add a like amount to
the sum received. This will,
therefore cause the spending of $48
000,000 for roads and will build
from 6,000 to 7,000 miless of

splendid toad and will place in
each- State from 100 to 500 miles
of fine hard road, which will not
be affected by frost or spring rains
and on which the farmer can
haul the year round. It will be
a great advantage to those living
near it, but it will be a far greater
advantage to the whole country
because it will be a wonderful ob
ject lesson and will prove to
everyone that a good, hard road
which can be used the year round
no matter what the rains are, is a
good and desirable thing; it will
make everyone who sees this
road and who uses it want more
roads just like it, and it will
cause more roads just like it to
be built. While under the
Brownlow Bill the building of
6,000 to 7000 miles of splendid
road is a great thing, yet it seems
to many that the greatest advan
tage ot this bill is the wonderful
object lesson which 100 to 500
miles of fine road will produce
when built in every State of the
Union.
