HYPOCRISY AND TRAGEDY. The great Russian tragedy still holds the boards. The entire world is a witness to what may be termed a real tragedy; a pro duction that is given the world at the cost of thousands of lives; one that is devastating the very garden spots of the empire and sending refugees in hordes to foreign shores; a tragedy in wh:ch the blood of the innocent is sacrificed as so much water. And this because the people dare cry for liberty! What is between the Russian masses and liberty, which they hold dearer than life? To start with, a czar a vacillating crea ture, who beyond doubt is the prey of a select band of fiends incarnate. Here is the prime source of the tragedy, the fiends. The czar is, of himself; so feeble-minded and purposeless, and undoubtedly so badly scared ere now that he would grant liberty to those whom he calls his sub jects, but his advisors will not hear of this. Why will they not grant this? Because by making Nicholas a tool they hope to profit And through all this great and bloody struggle we hear of the prayers of the czar and his min isters, when they assemble in their separate places of worship, that justice and righteousness may prevail. Ye gods! Prayers of this nature from men so pol luted that their very souls, were they ever wafted to heaven, would profane that celestial realm. The hypocrisy of it all ! Meanwhile, they continue to pray and to kill innocent people. The masses of Russian subjects seem to prefer death to oppres sion that is worse than slavery. They could gain their liberty if they but had a leader in their struggle. Here is an opportunity for another patriot of the George Washington brand. DIFFERENT "DONTCHERKNOW" Those who follow society do ings closely will have seen by the papers that Mr. and Mrs. Nich olas Longworth have been ten dered an invitation to visit the sultan at Constantinople. Due stress has been placed upon the "very great honor" bestowed upon the Longworths on account of Mrs. Longworth being a daughter of President Roosevelt. Can we call ourselves a con sistent people and act as we do ? In this country anything of a polygamous nature will cause our ladies to catch up their skirts and trip lightly away for fear of con tamination. Why are they not equally careful when aboad ? Perhaps we are over-inquisitive. When Gorki visited our shores recently in company with a wo man who could not produce a marriage certificate, he and she were kicked from one hotel to another with so much facility by virtuous Americans that they soon fled the shores of the land of the free in disgust. This was all right, but our men and women on h- C.A.SELEY ' " J. TCRESON 3. DL Arnold who hold to ideas of strictest vir tue and morality at home should not boast of invitations to visit the Sultan of Turkey, either within or without his harem. HIS CLOTHES. King Edward has been granted a private inspection of William Jennings Bryan. While the king is reported as having deported himself most graciously from a royal standpoint, we have no means of knowing what his pri vate opinion was as the result of his. scrutiny of the Nebraskan. But this is not a matter of any consequence. What we desire to call atten tion to is the abandon and utter disregard for the sacredness of the subject by the writer of the dis patch relating to the meeting The cablegram in question stated that the king wore common clothes." This, to us, with our American ideas of democracy, seems an uncalled-for reflection on his majesty. So long as King Edward was decently clad it does not seem proper that his clothes, any more than the habiliments of any other man, should be made a subject for discussion by the masses. During such period as King Edward conducts himself becomingly we shall continue to consider him just as good as any body, even though he does wear "common clothes." NEW SPRINTING RECORDS. Two Corvallis Ladies Make Them in Chasing T-ain. The report is that two Corvallis ladies had a footrace with the mid week excursion train on its return from Newport last Wednesday evening. It seems that the ladies decided to walk to Phil omath and ride in on the ex cursion with relatives who bad aone over to the coast the day before. They headed for Philomath and walked along, merrily chat ting, and heeded not the swift passing of the hours. Finally they reached the outskirts ot the little city, and in the distance heard the rumble of the incoming train. With a sudden start they realized that it meaut a race to the depot if they were to get a ride home. They lit out. Faster and fas ier they ran; but the train puffed and panted, the wheels creaked and began to turn, the whistle sounded, the brakeman swung onto the rear platfuiin aud tin train pulled out, just a- the Cor vallis damsels, with flying hair, bulging eyes and lobsterlike faces reached the platform. They shrieked and waved their arms frantically, they fluttered their dainty handkerchiefs and even gestured threateningly at the re ceding train, but all to no avail. Convinced that they were "lelt", thi ha'les, breathless and weary women turned towards ih main part of town, hunted up a livery stable and although they had no money with them, their plight appealed to the kindly dis posed lively niiii aud a rig was s;nt to Corval is with the travel ers, C.

The capers of the "kid gang" are a source of constant annoyance to tha local police, a:il there ill prob .b!y ' n enti to the troa'ile umil boon of the jouths are arrested and fined aad an example made of tiieru to warn other boys.

In the shop Mr. Sargent keep3 some of the gunsi a camp stove, material far making the gopher "poppers" and the tools for their manufacture. It was here that the lads congregated and proceeded to have a regular Fourth of J uly celebration. They effected an entrance to the building, took the camp stove oat in the alley, built a fire, se cured some cartridges and a gopher gun, and struck a regular Wild Bill camp. Here thsy held forth at various times in real wild and wooly fashion until a ru mor of their antics reached the ears of the police. This gentleman put quietus on the revels, made the boys put things back and with a parting lecture let the youngsters go. The parents will simply be notified this time, but if such cases are to occur often something more than talking will certainly be done. Additional Local.
