"The republican party has a
mission. Its mission is to devise,
support and enforce measures and
legislation and schemes of admin
istration designed to advance the
welfare of our whole citizenship,
and it cannot do these things by
knocking out from whole struc
tures the very cornerstone, of
United States senators. The Ore
gonian opposes Governor Chamber
lain because he is a democrat and
supports Wthycombe because he
is a republican. That is sufficient
reason good reason. It thinks
Mr. Withy combe will make a sat
isfactory executive and it knows
he will not, because he cannot, ap
point democrats to vital political
offices." Oregonian.

Canvass for Funds.
The canvass for funds icr the
college Y. M. C. A. ; building,
which was stopped temporarily
about two months ago on account
of the " illness of the secretary,
Mr. Shepard, has been resumed
under the direction of the build
ing committee and with the co
operation of the state committee
of the Y. M. C. A. The base
ment and swimming pool have
already been put in on a lot ad-
joing the campus. It is hoped to
erect the building this summer
so as to have it ready for use at
the opening of the fall term.
"Of the $15,000 ; necessary for
the erection of the building $12,
700 has been subscribed, leaving
$2,300 yet to be secured. The
building committee does not
wish to resume ; building . oper
ations until all the money : is
pledged. It is expected to raise
$700 of the amount needed from
the citizens of Corvallis and Ben
ton county. $1,300 has already
been subscribed by" Corvallis
people, but a large number have
not yet been seen. The recent
San Francisco disaster has made
it difficult to secure subscriptions
from Por land and other places in
the state outside of Corvallis
though Portland people have
contributed nearly $3,000.
The erection of the building
will mean much to tae moral
and social life of the student
body. It has already widely ad
vertised the institui ion ? and the
people of the state are expecting
to see it erected. This will be
the seond building of this char
acter on the Pacific coast, the
other being at the University
of California at Berkeley.
The college Y. M. C. A. has
beena mostefficient organization,
but has been greatly handicapped
on account of a lack of adequate
quarters. The new building will
aid very materially in. carrying
on an enlarged and more ag
gressive work.

J. S. Booth came out from
Newport, Wednesday, after an ab
sence of three months. He was en
gaged during the time he was over

The selection of Dr. James
Witbycombe as the republican
nominee for governor at the recent
primary election in Oregon is dis
tinctly a ' victory for the farmers.
While Dr. Withycombe's closest
competitor, ex-Governor Geer, i3 a
farmer, yet he was not the candi
date of the farmers in the sense
that Dr. Withycombe was. Mr.
Geer became known to the people
of Oregon, through his political
activities. Dr. Withycombe became
known to the people through work
directly relating to agriculture. He
stood out as a candidate represent
ing agriculture to a degree which
rarely happens. Oregon Agriculturist.

Com.
a gushing young creature asked a
wounded soldier if he was one of
the heroes of Santiago, and he
replied: "I'm no hero; I'm a
regular." It was his business to
obey orders and in doing so be
took what came to htm 1 as his
duty. So it was with the three
dynamiters. They had orders to
stop the destruction bv fire, and
they did it, and having performed
the duty demanded of them, thev
returned, to Mare Island, . madt
their report and c went to their
quarters as if nothing had hap:
penea. -
J Prom our point of, view thev
savea a large, part of : the doomed
city; from their -standpoint they
naa simply performed their d-itv,
and whatever of credit there is in
the transaction goes to Admiral
McCalla. It is ever thus in war.
The private soldier, carrying out
the orders of his superior, accom
plishes wonders, wins :s victories,
and we erect monuments to the
Generals. The man with the
gun does not care." He does his
duty, and if promotion ' reaches
him, all right. If not, he falls
back on the phrase ; a uoted:
I'm no hero; I'm a regular."-

It seems that it . was the dyna
mite squad from Mare island that
stopped the fire at San Francisco.
Three experts in explosives were
sent over from the naval station
by Admiral McCalla, with orders
to check the fire at any cost ot
life or property. They took with
them a ton and a half of gun cot
ton, destreyed a million dollars'
worth of property and made a
waste of ruin over which the fire
could not jump, and the confla
gration was stayed. The names
of these three heroes are not
given, although what they did,
and the danger they braved, en
title them to be so designated.
