Tuesdays and Fridays, Editorial Comment. it has becin suggested that the ' Circuit court met in regular; iter of the city of Corvallis to 1 date Dothin ot importance raise the limit ot taxation for wen THE PRESIDENTS DECLARATION On the night of the election of President Roosevelt he issued the following statement. "I am deeply sensible of the Loner done me by the American people in thus expressing their conncsence . in what l have done ar.d tried to d the full the so' this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall Lave served three and one-half ye?xs, and this three and one half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form. Under no circum stance will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination." By this declaration the Presi dent means without any ques tion of contradiction that the term for which he has just been elected will be his last. There are-none who have studied his administration of the affairs of litis high office who would for a moment doubt that he would take the first favorable oppor tunity to express his high regard for the substance of the long cherished tradition which for bids a third term in the presi dential office. He may, hence forth, devote his every effort to regulating the trusts; to build ing the Panama canal; to guard ing the interests of our country and of humanity in the Philip pines and by his every eilort decided.

I appreciate to j treasury by the saloons. It has lemn responsibility been contended by the friends of promotion mzz tne expenses oi government by the existence of the saloons is largely increased over conditions where there are no saloons and prohibition exists. If this is the case there will be no necessity of raising the tax limit. The financial condition of Corvallis will not be injured materially in this regard by per mitting the present' limit of tax ation to remain. The legislature will meet again in two years and if the burdens of taxpayers shall increase under the beneficent auspices of prohibition it will then be time for the legislature to afford its timely interference. The saloon traffic and Its conse quences and effect on society is regretted by many and although the trials and tribulations at tendant upon the enforcement of prohibition is hoped will not be worse or more burdensome to taxpayers. One of the great arguments for many years has been against the saloon business "that it made men intoxicated and while in that condition they committed offenses which engaged the at tention of courts and officers, and largely increased matters of If prohibition can overcome these evils and do away with the continued increase in already high taxation, the heavy burdened taxpayer will accept it as a oftunate remedy early applied in this twentieth century Ntis vs. John Whitaker case Kola and sou Frank, meuli..u of which w;s made in a previous issue of Ihis pip?r.

Were he the kind of a man Dem ocratic partisans have endeavored to make of him, he would not at this early date have appointed a time to end his political career. Under this declaration of inde pendence there is no politician who can present to him, in the next four years, any partisan or personal reasons to induce him to depart from what he believes to be the best possible conduct for the interest of our common conntry, and certainly no politi cian can approach him with any suggestion of what might hap pen should the President disre gard his wishes. This will en enable tie Republican party to choose a nominee for president in 1908 from other eminent The State of Oregon has cause to be proud of its record in the last National election. The plurality given to President Roosevelt was 42,988. These figures are large, and represent a majority of 30,693 over all the combined candidates m oppo sition, but they represent much more. It means more than forty- seven and onerhalf per cent, of the total poll of the State, a better showing than is made by any of the 45 states of the Union. For this result fshe has Gee Sr., is a case in w hich Lew- j Strongest Warranty ever placed lsissueing lor a 'coiDiinsi-roa c! $ioo f6r the sale of Mr. McGee's farm to R. W. Fisher.

On account of the very low stage of the river, Capt. Graham has not deemed it advisable to try to reach Corvallis regularly with fcis steam ers just yet. Although the Oregona could make the trip through, it would take so lo;.g for her to make the round trip that it would not be j profitable as the river has fallen considerably since her first trip last week.
