FITNESS TUB NIGTH.
Owing to the fact that Presi
dent Gatch has informed the
board of regents of OAG that
this will ;be his last year in
charge of this institute there is
naturally considerable specula
tion as to who will be chosen his'
successor. There Js talk of the
selection of President. E. D. Res
sler, of the state normal school
at Monmouth; also of Prof. Dun
iway, of Stanford University.
Commenting on the situation
the Albany Herald declares OAC
a misfit and insinuates that our
college should be purely an agri
cultural one. Let- it be fully un
derstood that this institution is
firot, last aud all the time an
cirri Itural one; for here the
student is offered an agricultu
ral caacaiion of unexcelled com
prehensiveness. That other
branches of learning are taught
here in no wise detracts from the
thoroughness of the agricultural
course. It may be said that the
college is rapidly becoming a
reat industrial institution.
"One th ng in favor of Profes
sor Itessler for the presidency of
the Corvallis sshool is. the fact
that her and President Campbell
of the University of Oregon, are
on very friendly terms, and the
friction hitherto existing be
tween the State University and
State Agricultural College might
be obviated."
Great Caesar! What "tommy
rot," and from the Herald, tos!
During the many years President
Gatch has been at OAC it re
mains for this discerning journal
to discover that he is inclined to
viciousness and the insinuation is
clear that he could not get along
amicably with President Camp
bell. We know that President
(aacehis a gentleman and have
every reason to believe that Pres
ident Campbell is also. Two
gentlemen occupying their posi
tions do not light. Regarding
President Ressler we have no
comment, but to select him be
cause he chances to be hum
my" with President Campbell is
rank nonsense, and is no credit to
the advecat? of such a course.
To select any other man for such
a reason would be equally ridicu
lous. Above all let the man chos
on as a successor for President
Gatch be fit.
TWO VIEWS.
Throughout the country there
is a growmg sentiment against
foreign immigi'ati- n. This has
been progressig for years, first
against one cla?s of foreigners
and then another. At one time
there wasjthe most bitter feeling
against the hordes who were ad
mitted from the southern part of
Europe. So far as the Pacific
Coast is concerned, however, it
is safe to say that the greatest
feeling was in evidence over the
admission of the Chinese- Par
ticularly was this true during the
8!)'s before the passage of the
Geary act The whole coast was
vitally interested, especially the
laboring classes of our own peo
ple. California seemed most
wrought up over the Chinese sit
uation prior to the passage of the
set restricting Chinese immigra
tion. On a par with the feeling
of those days is the preset t con
dition of affairs regarding the
Japs, who are gradually increas
ing in numbers throughout the
coast. One not informed of con
ditions in California can scarcely
guess the importance attaching to
the little brown man, pro and
con.
When dealing with, the restric-
tion of Chinese immigration the
entire population of California
united in favor of such - restric
tion, but in considering the ques
tion, "Jap or no Jap," the peo
ple of our sister state are not a
unit. San Francisco exceeded
her authority beyond doubt when
she undertook to assume the set
tlement of what was clearly an
international question. But the
action of the San Francisco
school board served the purpose
of starting considerable agita
tion. In certain portions of
California the people are almost
wholly united against the Japs.
Investigation will prove that the
Japs are in no way necessary to
these sections there is no ex
cuse for the existence of the Jap,
So much for conditions pre
vailing in certain sections.
Go into the great fruit produc
ing districts and an excuse is
found for the appearance of the
child of the Flowery Kingdom.
In these sections he is almost a
necessity, in fact, according to
conditions at present he is a nee
essity. It is safe to assume that
to suddenly deny the fruit grow
ers of Southern California the as
sistance of the Japanese in car
ing for their crops would mean
absolute ruin in many cases. It
is useless to contend that the
Jap is not a necessity to the fruit
producers when present condi
tions are considered, for ,he is
rrmble, active and industrious and
especially fitted for t .iis work and
is depended upon to do it.
Let the above suffice for a dis
cussion of conditions to the south
of us and the two main views ad'
vanced. In the matter of for
eigners, regardless of national
ity being allowed to infest our
shores it seems about time for
the exercise of such restriction
as has never hitherto been en
forced by pur government. There
is much in the idea of "America
for Americans and as time
comes to us there will be more
and more in this apt "saw,",;
are already rubbing our elbows
threadbare with ourselves v and
we cannot look forward with any
degree of confidence to the weed
ing out which we are promised
is to result from race suicide.

A $385 REUARB.
Perhaps no persons in Corval-
lisaieas auxious ta find oar
friend Mr. Fisher than Mr. Krull
and Mr. Andros who are repre
sentee the EILERS PIANO
HOUSE and are now cleaning
out the Fisher stock and they
have been authorized to give a
$385 PIANO to any one who can
apprehend and convict said gen
tleman.
It has taken up to Friday to
straighten out the book accounts
and now all there is left to do is
to close out the instruments,' the
active piano ; selling has only
started since and ud lo the pres
ent time five people and their re
spective families ' have refined
their homes by taking advantage
of the exceptional prices that are
being made to close up the piano
shop. . .
Mr. O. C.s Hathaway, the pop
ular blacksmith of Corvallis, has
secured a beautiiui Marshall and
Wendall piano in mahogony
Mr. Chas. Hansen " bou-ht the
same style and make,. Mr. W. J
Harper selected au - exquisite
Sbumann piano, an instrument
tbat will be an heirloom in his
familv in vears hence when we
will all be forgotten. Mr. A. X
Stephens who jusl happened in
Corvallis being a traveling mau
and representing the Columbia
Publishing Co. knew a good
thing when he saw it and picked
out the elegant Shutnanu piano,
with Empire top and has ordered
same shipped to his home in
Carlton a tew miles from Port
land- Miss Myrtle L,aagley, the
well known school teacher is now
the owner of a handsome, organ
When asked why it was that
Fisher carried such a fine stock
of goois Mr. Krull said that that
was a quest on the house asked cf
itself but now it can plainly be
seen that Fisher never intended
to pay for the goods, he simply
wanted us to sUip them out and
then he would try to sell them,
ana you know that anyone can
more easily place the high priced
instruments, get what cash 7. he
possibly can collect .and then
"23." I know that ; the house
offered Fisher, a-cheaper . Hoe, of
goods, for instance they offered
him six L,udwigs that he could
sell at $220 to $240 and make a
good profit bnt no, be wanted the
best that we carry. He would
not even carry such goods as the
Mehliu which he could sell -..at
$266 and leave hi;n a cltan ijiai-
giu. Nosii-ree: He was ioxy,
uulv handling the highest of
grades and a fiuer line of goodi
has never been shown- in Corval
lis than the ones that are now sac
rificed at me busy Music store.
We want to have every music
lover of Corvallis to call on both
Mr. Ktull and Mr. Andj ess who
are ptoud that they are with, the
