"Don't kick a man when he's down," is an old saying and if humanity lived up to what this homely old saw teaches the world would be the better for it. The trouble is we do not. We are charitable while dealing with our friends, or when it is policy for us to be charitable. Charity that springs from policy is damn able. At present there is in this city a case in point two cases, in fact, that furnish a parallel for the assertions of the above para graph, n r. (jrenoz was-our jjienu, cuiu iia.u. ueeii j.lu vcctto, but it is nevertheless a fact that he was guilty of appropriating to his own use, while in office, money -C - ,1 J T 1 1 I that was not his. For this we are very sorry; sorry that his needs were so pressing' as to tempt him to wrong doing; sorry, indeed, that our friend should have such dire trouble; doubly grieved that one so universally trusted 'should forfeit the con fidence of all. That he is to be pitied there are none to gainsay. Beyond doubt his mental suffer ing was great while wrestling with the temptation. All the pity he has received since his sudden departure he has undoubt edly earned many times over. Much, in fact, the major part of this pity is sincere, but one may cot look long to find evidences of pity for policy's sake. We pride ourselves on being a humane, a just people. Are ,-we always so? When policy does not figure we are mayhap. When policy enters into'the mat ter justiee in its strictest form is a matter of well, doubt. Take, far example, the cases of E. P. Greffoz and Jacob Blumberg bear in mind that we are judging neither, , as we are not their ieeper, but are going to point oct some inconsistencies and the matter of charity from policy. The ottense ot tne lormer was far in excess of that of the lat ter. Yet, we hear (and it is all right) pity for Mr. Greffoz, but la certain quarters we find those who pity Mr. Greffoz, hounding Mr. Blumberg. Is this charity ? Ls this justice in its fullest sense ? Mr Blumberg may have done wrong, pernaps ne did, but we hear no one pitying him in his offense. On the other hand, we find some who profess pity for Ur. Greffoz, after Mr. Blumberg unrelentingly and drawing all possible attention to his offense. While we pity both in their of fenses, we condone neither. Just- ' ice requires that all be treated alike according to their offense, and pity for policy's sake, fore sworn.' ' ' :1S H WORTHWHILE? Raeent disasters would indicate that the submarine boat is . doubtful quantity. They are haz ardous to the crews and whether . of any efficient service is still an open question. There has always been a desire to build - and em ploy them and probably there al ways will be this desire. There will always be found men to man them and take chances on drown ing like a rat in a hole. The submarine boat is almost as. much a matter of speculation as is trie airship, witnout your wings are abnormally developed it is wiser that you shun a voyage in the latter. Just so with the submarine when you are assur ed that you possess both lungs and. gills you can aaf ely give one a trial. Only recently one of these boats went down and Jde spite heroic ettorts ; the crew perished. " Uz2z:, lit: r."-y life, therS are those who persist in the struggle towards perfec tion regardless of the fact that they may be monkeying with a j As Reported Abroad. In Tuesday's Telegram appears a dispatch from this city bearing on the Greffoz case. So far as we are informed, the report to the Telegram seems about cor rect. It is as follows: The auditing committee ' of the City Concil has about com pleted the work ot experMng the books of Police Judge Greffoz, who let Corvallis several weeks ago and whoe prtsent where abouts is unknovyi. The short age so far ascertained will amount to something ovt-r $2,000, and will be made good bv his relatives. All the deficit so far found has been in collections made on "ew er assessments vjuany of which were withheld hv Jnd je GrefL.Z and not turned ovi-r ,u the City Treasurer. . Owing to the peculiar condi tions under which these assess ments were levied and collected, is doubtful if Mr. Greffoz's bondsmen are liable for the short age, or even it he is criminally lable. For some years past it has been the custom for the City Council to pay the contractor for the construction of the lateral sewers, and men collect from tne property-owners along the line of the sewers a pro rata assesssment, all of which is contrary to chart er authority and consequently il- egal. Mr. Greffoz had no au thority to receive or .'receipt for such money in his official ca pacity and he does not deny hav ing received it as a private citi zen. He and his relatives stand willing to make good the short age so far as they are able, and it is doubtful if any charges will be preferred against him. Mr. Greffoz has alwavs been considered a man of unquestion- 1 " . . 1 . m ... , ea integrity and tne report ot a shortage in his accounts could naraiy oe believed bv nis many mends in this city. He is a man of steady habits, a ieweler bv trade, and a Corvallis bov born and raised. His business affairs have been in bad shape for some time, and he has had consider able difficulty in satisfying his j 1 t ' , . 1 creditors, ana u is supposed mat his shortage was used to , satisfy his private debts. He has been for some time a suffer from chron ic nervous headache, and has for mat reason been unfit to attend to business of any kind. One On James Net long ago, James L- Lewis, one of our . hustling real estate dealers, attempted to sell a well known gentleman 100 very fine hens. When James is in earnest he is eloquent. On this occasion his enthusiasm over his hens knew no bounds and he manful ly asserted that the 100 hens :i question could easily lav ten dozens eggs a day. The old gentleman did not buy the hens on the spot, but went home to think the matter over. After pondering the question, the old gentleman decided that 100 hens that could lay ten dozen, or 120 eggs, per day were no ordi nary hens by any means. He told his story to a certain man among us who has the chicken habit and the story final tv came to Bob. Johnson's ears. Now Bob poses as a friend of James, so he went to Mr. Lewis and suggested that he must have made a mistake. James consid ered but an instant, his face lore a smile as he replied, ' ceitrnly I made a mistake. I meant nine dozen, of course." . She. Tried Five Doctors. Hre. Frances L. Sales, of Missouri Val ley, la., writes: "I have been afflicted with Kidney trouble five years; had se vere pains in my back and a frequent de sire to urinate. When riding I experi enced much pain over the- region of the kidneys. I tried five physicians without benefit and then concluded to try Foley.s Kidney Cure. .
