Multnomah on Anxious Seat.
The Oregon Journal has the
following to say in regard to
Multnomah's opinion ot the
OAC lads: By the interest that
was displayed by the members of
the Multnomah football squad
last evening at practice it is an
assured fact that there is trouble
ahead for the husky farmers of
Corvallis, when they meet the
local club men on Christmas
Monday afternoon. The Seattle
defeat had its effects, and last
night the boys went to work
with a strong determination to
win the last two games of the
season by big scores. All the
first team men, with the excep
tion of Sam Stow, were on hand
and 90 minutes of hard drilling
was undergone. Faster . starting
and more effective helping of the
man with the ball were the prin
cipal things practiced. Consider
ing that Multnomah has splendid
weight and remarkable speed,
the eleven has not moved this
season, excepting on brief
occasions, with the dash and
speed of which it is capable.
There is nothing surer than
when Corvallis lines up against
Multnomah next, every OAC
raan will be a regular tiger and
will get into every play with a
terrific rush. Coach Steckle 's
scheme will be to inaugurate a
lightning attack with the hope
of demoralizing the locals, and
as Multnomah men have got
wise as to his plans, the locals
will be just alert as the visitors,
getting the charge on them in
every play. Reports from Cor
vallis say that the Agrics are
training hard and faithfully for
the coming match, and as it
means everything to Corvallis to
win, her men will "exert every
effort to that end.

The new city directory which
is being compiled by Merwin
McMaines, will soon be ready
for publication. It will contain
the names and addresses of each
person inside the corporation
limits of this city. Corvallis

pal business houses of the city,
and when completed will fill a
long felt want in Corvallis and
Benton county. The directory
will contain between 100 and
150 pages and it is to be sent to
all parts of the county. Be sure
and get your ad in the directory.
Johnson-Dilley.
A quiet home wedding occur
red at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H
Dilley, last Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock, when Miss Lucy
Dillev was united in marriage to
J. Edwin Johnson, Rev. E. F
Green officiating. Mr. and Mrs,
Johnson left the same day for
their future home at Vale, Ore
gon, where the groom is ex
tensively engaged in the survey
ing business. Mr. Johnson is a
graduate of OAC with the class
of '03, Mis. Johnson graduated
with the '04 class. Both are
popular young people of this
city and their numerous friends
wish them much happiness.
Revolution Imminent.
A sure sign of approaching revolt and
serious trouble in your system is ner
vousness, sleeplessness, or stomach up
sets. Electric Bitters will quickly dis
member the troublesome causes. It
never fails to tone the stomach, regulate
the kidneys and bowels, stimulate the
liver, and clarify the blood. Rundown
systems benefit particularly and all the
attending aches vanish under its search
ing and thorough effectiveness. Elec
tric Bitters is only 50c, and that is re
turned if it don't give perfect satisfac
tion. Guaranteed by Allen & Wood
ward druggists.
Special Excursion Monday.
A special train leaves Corvallis
over the West Sioe at 7 a. m.
next Monday morning to carry
the OAC lootball squad and their
manv rooters to Portland, where
the biggest game of the season
will be played with Multnomah
on their grounds in the afternoon.
The train is' scheduled to leave
Portland in the evening at 7
p. m.
It is now assured that enough
enthusiasts will accompany the
football men to fill several cars,
as the S. P. company has placed
the fare for the round trip at the
very liberal figure of only $2.
Many will take advantage of the
exceptionally low rate to spend a
holiday in the metropolis, whether
they see the game or not, as
about a nine-hour stay will be
made in the city.
The line-up of the OAC team
has not been made public, as yet,
but one of the most important
questions is whether or not Coach
Steckle will play. Under the
contract with Multnomah, he
has a perfect right to enter the
game as a substitute. If he does
decide to play he will take
Captain Pilkington's position,
either as full-back or tackle. He
is now in constant training with
the team, who are putting in
some hard licks every afternoon.
Later: Manager Stimson an
nounced yesterday that Pilking
ton; after all, may be able to
play his old position at full
back in Monday's game. He has
been practicing regularly every
afternoon for the last . week, and
if all goes well he will be able to
play as well as ever.
It is not thought probable
that Coach Steckle will enter
the game if Pilkington is able to
play, although he will be on
hand and prepared for any
emergency. He is averse to play
ing, as he thinks OAC even with
out ' hin, will be 50 per cent
stronger than they have ever
been this season.
Bundy will be back at his
position as guard, and. Root will
be back of the liner and there
will be plenty of huskv substitutes
to draw from, and the Aggrie
will put up a game that will
cause the Multnomah's to realize
that they have been in a foot
ball game. Local enthusiasts
predict that a scoreless game is
the worst the Corvallis bos can
get. Much interest is being
taken in the game by local busi
ness men and other supporters of
the orange.
Philomath Items.
A guest at the home of Prof.
Henry Sheak is Leonard F.
Thornton, who arrived last week
from Fort Collins, Colorado for
a brief visit with friends.
.Miss Mary Phillips and Octave
Voget, students at Philomath
College, left for Aurora, Marion,
county, Saturday to attend the
wedding of Carl Voget and Miss
Eiler. After the wedding Mr.
Voget will leave for Germany for
a visit with relatives in the
Fatherland.
Rev. W. F. Caldwell, of
Waverly, Washington, who has
been visiting for the past few
days with his brother, President
Caldwell, of Philomath College,
preached in the. College chapel
Sunday evening. He left Wed
nesday for Spokane, but expects
to return here in May or June to
reside permanently.
The fall term of Philomath
College closed vesterdav. Mon
day night the departments of
Music and Elocution held a
public recital that was we'l at
tended and highly er joyed bv all
present. Tuesday niylit a pub
lic rhetorical was held in .e
college chapel. These were the
only public gatherings that
marked the closing of the term.
The mid-winter holidays begin
today and continue until Jan. 3.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Articles of general interest will be pub
lished in this department as the personal
opinion of the writers. It is understood
that the paper is not held responsible
for aDy opinion here expressed.
The Absorbing Question.
Much has been said, much re
mains to say concerning the con
trol of corporations by the gov
ernment, national and state.
There are large numbers of men,
not socialists as we know social
ism, but Democrats and Repub
licans, who believe this neces
sary control cannot be found
short of government ownership.
There is no shadow of doubt
that this question of control is
the all absorbing one now be
fore the American people. It is
discussed everywhere. The press
of the whole country, newspa
pers, magazines, and other pub
lications, is almost given over to
discussion of this question. Prac
tically all other questions have
been settled or are in a fair
way of satisfactory adjustment.
Protection is now the accepted
and settled policy of the people.
It has been so emphatically en
dorsed that it is nolonger subject
for discussion. The relations of
capital and labor are now put on
such lines that they cannot fail
of' right and acceptable adjust
ment. There remains at pres
ent only the perplexing question
of control of corporations.
On this question our people,
regardless of party affiliation,
are at one. Corporations must
be controlled. Two inquiries
here present themselves. What
corporations require control?
The obvious answer to this is,
only those which disregard pub
lic and private rights, corrupt
our civic life and threaten the
welfare of our institutions. This
at once relieves the great cor
porations which are engaged in
mining, manufacturing and com
merce from the category of inim
ical corporations. These are
made necessary by our industrial
development and do no violence
to private and public rights.
Only the corporations engaged
in transportation require control.
Some are engaged in interstate
commerce and can be controlled
only by the general government;
others must be regulated and
controlled by the state govern
ments. The next inquiry is, who must
control them? Th answer to
this is, the Republican party.
It is the dominant party. The
people, again without regard to
party affiliation look to the Re
publican party for a solution of
the question. They have a right
to do so. , It is not only the party
in power but it is the only one
which has made any attempt to
exercise needed control.
The Republican party, must
therefore, J regulate and control
these corporations by whatever
means are necessary. It must
do so and avoid government
ownership if possible, but it must
control. As a life-long and rad
ical Republican I believe the
party will do this. It is the only
party that can, for it is the party
that expresses the highest de
gree of American courage.
As a Republican I say the Re
publican party will control these
corporations by whatever means
found necessary, The President,
the party leaders, the mass of
J Republicans contemplate doing
jso. J. he President in his mes
j sage approvingly quotes the lan
guage of Railroad president Cas
sart : ' 'Publicity and not secrecy
will surely win hereafter, and
laws be construed by their intent
and not by their letter, other
wise public utilities will be owned
and operated by the public which
created them." Then the Pres
ident says: "The government
must in increasing degree super
vise and -regulate the workings
of railways engaged in interstate
commerce; and such increased
supervision is the only alterna
tive to an increase of the pres
ent evils on the one hand or still
more radical policy on the other. ' '
This simply ' means that these
corporations must be controlled
by whatever means or govern
ment ownership will ensue. Re
publicans will accept this as
true. Cowards will fall down in
view of it, while mad socialism
runs amuck.
Write me down a Republican.
- J. K. Philips.
Victory or Defeat?
That all depends whether we
have enough Republican con
gressmen who will stand by the
restless energy of our heroic
President to bring order and law
out of the chaos of railroad com
binations, to rob the people.
Oregon has at least ope mem
ber in her delegation, Hon. John
H. Mitchell, who stood four;
square in the United States sen
ate, against all unruly corpora
tions, in his matchless contest
for "the people at a time when
the great ship canal was at stake.
The battle although victorious
for the people in the senate cost
him his seat in that august body,
but thank heaven our state re
turned him to the senate in spite
of all corporations, and there he
will stand by the President and
his colors until victory or defeat
closes the scene. We believe our
whole delegation in congress will
respond to the call our President
uttered in the metropolitan press
of the 10th inst., announcing that
he is in the fight to the finish
for government supervision of
freight rates even though it in
volves the issue of the most rad
ical remedy set forth in his mes
sage. T. J. Thorp.
