MUST AROUSE.
Whatever may be the cause, it
seems that there is some lack of
public-spiritedness in Corvallis.
In many ways we have forged
ahead in the last ten or fifteen
years, but at present it seems
more difficult, than : formerly to
arouse an interest in matters of
a public nature. , ;v - : ;
It is an old ' saying that one's
life is what, we make it. In
many instances this is true, ; but
'tis not always so. There are
exceptions to all rules. Let us
presume that rule supposed to
work individually be transferred
to a community of-people. If
herebe any truth in the above
old saw, then Corvallis is what,
the people make her.
At present a few are exerting
themselves to have the place
'make a creditable showing on
"Corvallis Day" at the Exposi
tion. They find a lack of inter
est the greatest hindrance to
what they have undertaken. . It
seems hard to be obliged to face
and acknowledge such a truth,
but harder still to dwell upon
such a condition. ,
A committee soliciting funds
wherewith to defray the5 ex
penses of securing flags, banners,
and many other items necessary
. for decorations in connection
with the excursion to Portland
and the parade after the people
reach the metropolis, report that
their canvass has been rather
disheartening in several instan
ces. . Can anyone give a good
reason why this should be the
case? ' ' ; "
Assuming that the. ' town is
"what you make it, why cannot
we make it better ? It can be
done in one,- and one way only.
The people must be united for
the public weal. .What is for the
public good is for the benefit of i
the individual in the end. So let
all feel a responsibility in. this
. matter and come to the front.
Many are very generous, -very
zealous and to them fall the larger
share of the public' burden." Let
all assist and the load is light!
. The opportunity of a life-time is
at (hand. - Now, take hold of it
and hang on. "
GOING DEMOCRATIC.
A democratic governor, a dem
ocratic sheriff in Multnomah
county, and a democratic mayor
in the City of Portland ! - And
yet there are those bold enough to
declare this a republican state.
Prior to the city election in Port
land, last Monday, few could
have been found itt Corvallis who
; would have expressed a convic
tion, that Dr. Harry Lane would
defeat George M. Williams for
maycr of Portland. L v.v;
. Those well informed on the
early history : of Corvallis slat e
. that Portland's mayor-elect was
born in this city and that he lived
here tiutil about 12 or 14 years
of age. --That he will make "a
good major Was ceitiinly the
opinion ot the majority of Port
land voters. : He was elected by
a majority of something more than
1,200. This is not a great ma
jority for a city the size of Port
land, but invt.be- lace of a sup
posedly large republican majority
it is indicative of no; inconsider
able strength. -V
bjme way, it seems nard, mT
deed, to have Oregon's "arand
old man", turned down, too, by
the people of a community that
he more than,; any other shaped
the destiny 01 with the uneras
ing labor of a life time. - - It sure
ly seems like ingratitude on ' the
part of "that peop'e ai.d thereis
nothing that so 1 urts as ingrati
tude.
wiiuams made a good mayor;
there was nothing radically wrong
with; his administration, v Dr
Harry Lane will probably make
a good mayor, but praises be tc
tiveasGeo. H. Williams. - :
Why was : Williams turned
down? For the same reason that
has caused so many- republi
can defeats in recent years dis-

ocrats will fight like furies amocg
themselves, but on election day
they are at the polls to a man and
vote democracy to a hair line.
When republicans tollow the tac
tics of their opponents they may
"hope to win. -
.A Good Recital.
The Methodist church, South,
was filled with an appreciative
audience on Tuesday evening,
who listened to -an interesting
and well rendered program, given
by the music pupils of Miss
Mamie Cauthorn. With the ex
ception of three, the class appear
ing was composed of very young
girls, yet in techinque and es
pecially in expression, the ability
of the teacher to de velope her
pupils, as well as that of the class
to interpret the composer, was
very clearly shown. The audience
was highly; entertained and Miss
Cauthorn has reason to be prond
of her work and her pupils." The

so, they were sorely disappointed, for
shortly after the noon hour the rain be
gan to poor. The men began to hunt
overcoats and the ladies were seeking
shelter wherever it could be found. Those
who had covered rigs soon found shelter
from the storm,: while those who had
open rigs were compelled to Stake their
medicine gracefully, which they did with
that hilarity of spirit that would lead one
to believe that there wa3 nothing like
having a picnic in June.
