CHARITY AND CONSISTENCY.
"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

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."

with Kidney trouble five years; had se

enced much pain over the- region of the
kidneys. I tried five physicians without
benefit and then concluded to try Foley.s
