WE CAN STAND IT.
On account of certain preju
dices aroused in China, more
largely in Shanghai than else
where, the children of the celes
tial kingdom now propose to boy
cott the United States. In fact,
the boycott is already on, if one
is to believe reports.
By this action there is lit
tle doubt but the United States
will lose, but China will suffer
more largely than we will in the
long run. We- have been send
ing China great quantities of ma
terials and goods of various char
acter each year and at most rea
sonable figures. Considering the
quality of our exports, our prices
could not be met by any country
in Europe, and this has aroused
the jealousy of Germany, Eng
land and France. China is now
; playing into the hands of these
peoples.
The Chinese now claim to be
indignant over the matter of the
exclusion of themselves from this
country. They fancy their dig
nity has been hurt. This senti
ment is more largely due to the
attitude of the San Francisco la
bor unions than any other cause.
While they may not be aware of
the fact, they are playing right
into the hands of the Frisco
unionists, for in boycotting this
country they antagonize elements
known to be friendly to the in
stitution of a new treaty between
this country and China a treaty
whereby China was to receive
more liberal terms for certain
classes of her subjects, such as
students, merchants, travelers,
scientists and the like. -
So far as throwing down the
bars to countless millions of
China's coolie element is concern
ed, it is safe to predict that this
country will never act with such
madness. Any Mongolian seek
ing to bring such a state of af
fairs about by aiding and abett
ing the scheme of our European
rivals may as well save himself
the effort. An open door for
Chinese offscourings ! Never.
AS NOW PLANNED.
There is something unusual in
the attitude of some leading poli
ticians throughout the state re
garding the primary election law.
Here is a law that some of our
leading statesmen are striving to
defeat even before it has been
tried. It is now proposed to hold
conventions in the same old way.
What is gained by the passage
of a law that is never given a
fair trial ? The intent of the
primary law is to give all a square
deal. Such being the case, the
scheme of certain leaders ap
pears to be to defeat that which
was intended as fair for all es
pecially before the primary sys
tem has been tried "and found
- wanting. . ,
The people have a right under
the circumstances to be suspi
cious, for the attitude of these
leaders excite belief that the de
feat of a just lav is the end
sought. With so many of our
- leading office-holders and other
men of wide acquaintance in the
state under indictment at pres
ent, one is forced to the convic
tion that corruption is rampant
and the time is ripe for the peo
ple to raise their voices. No
man seeking to defeat the pri
mary law before it has had a fair
trial is going to strengthen him
self with the public. This law
may be a bad one, but the proper
and upright thintp do is to give
it a trial. -

THE NEW CLUS.
The Corvallis Athletic and
Secial Club.
Saturday articles of incorpora
tion were filed with the county
clerk and secretary of state by
which act the Corvallis Social
and Athletic Club is brought in
to existence. The incorporators
ari C. C. Geer, president; Mei
win McMaines, vice-president,
and Mike Kline, secretary.
The club will occupy. 'the build
ing formerly occupied by Ben
Woldt as a saloon. It is thought
it will be open today or tomor
row. .
A sort of -gymnasium wiil be
maintained and all fixtures, ap
paratus and paraj btrnalia lor
athletic contests will be installed
and refreshments will be served.
It is to be open only to members
of the club and in choosing new
members the club will use the
ballot system of othrr social or
ders. The club and order of run
ning the smie is patterned after
the Arlington Club of Portland.
Ech member will be assessed
regularly pay dues the same as
he would in any order . he might
join. He will have a locker to
which he will nolo the key and
it is claimed that what he may
have in the locker is a matter
wholly of his own business. A
steward will be in attendance at
all times to look after the interest
and welfare of the members.
There are said to be in the
neighborhood of 75 or 100 char
ter members. It is the intention
to allow nobody admission to the
club who are known as chronic
"drunks." In this matter no
attention is being paid to the
charter law or authority of Cor
vallis. The club is incorporated
and will be run in accordance
with the laws of the State of
Oregon. The club is now ready
to accept new members.

For some time in the past the
college Y M C A and various
students and citizens have in
terested themselves in the matter
of securing a student building at
the college. In this endeavor
they have encountered and over
come many obstacles and it now
seems that their efforts are to
bear fruit.
Friday, articles of incorpora
tion of the Student Building Asso
ciation of the State Agricultural
College of Oregon were filed
with Clerk Moses. The incor
porators are E. R. Lake, Arthur
G. B. Bouquet and C. L. Shepard.
"The object of the incorporation
snail be the erection, equipment
and management of a student
building at the State Agricultur
al College of Oregon."
" I he value of all property
possessed by the incorporation at
the time of filing articles was
placed at $12,000. The articles
further state that the building is
to be located on college land.
. The building as proposed is in
tended for many purposes: a set
of bath rooms, a gymnasium, a
number of rooms for the various
college societies, a general as
sembly room and a place lor re
Hgious services. In lact, many
uses are planned for the building.
When work of construction will
begin is not yet determined so
far as we have been able to learn:
Hpllenberg & Cady donated to the W.
C. T. IT. sufficient wall paper to finsh
seven rooms ot the buildings which the
Union is fixing up on the property recent
ly purchased on Second street. " The la
dies of the organization wish fo express

ty. .
