SUCCESS. For lo! these many years it has been a favorite saying that merit will be recognized and re warded. The idea that real merit' is always rewarded for meat's sake is absolute "tommy rot " The "Success" magazine flourishes by harping on this idea, and other magazines and certain newspapers have fallen into line and carried the matter to the point where it becomes al- rnncr rhp nrattlft ' of a nhild. The idea shows no sign of rea son, observation, philosophy nor wisdom. In every novel there is, of course, a "love sick" hero and heroine, who are represented as meritorious characters and ulti mately they succeed. The sicker they are with the love malady the greater their merit and the more signal their, success in time. But this is in the way of novels grown-up folk's fairy tales. Look about for your heros and heroines in . real life and ob serve how scarce they are; also that they are generally about as poverty-stricken as people get to be. This is not to say that those who have succeeded are not de serving, but simply to explode the idea that there is an abun dance of wealthy men awaiting an opportunity to lavish money and precious jewels on their fel lows who evince meritorious qualities. In this day and age it is well to remember that no mat ter hnw wpII simnlipd vnn are - - - ic-- " with knowledge without you possess an element of bluff and bluster, in fact," an ability to humbug people to a certain de gree, your merit is not going to make you rich. The people lilro antnofViincr rf a cVirw if nr, tracts their attention to your merit. now otten ao we nna a man who poses as an authority on a given thing or subject to be an ignorant ape in reality, and de pendent on some person behind the scenes for all the glory he accepts. Go into the 'colleges and universities and you may find greater minds and better qualifications among the under teachers t han in the heads of de partments. The same is true in all businesses. It is not always so, but it may be so. ' In fact, to sum up, a person of meritorious qualities has just about the same chance of success as a man of lesser ability. but greater "push." All sorts of people suc ceed and fail alike and the idea that it is an infallible rule that merit shall be rewarded is but a fairy story- HOPS. We are now on the eve of hop l.c i . jstin tho Willamette Val ley. The real importance of the hop industry to the people of this siion is a matter but little s'uJied by the masses. It brings to our people hundreds of thous ands of dollars annually and those dollars stand for necessi ties of life in many instances; they also buy comforts innumer able. Picking hops is a task of such character that women and chil dren can engage in it and make as much money as any man; therefore -it becomes a sort of family affair, as fathers, mothers and babes are to be found in the yards. Her; is practically the last opportur i.y to ,nake money for the winter supplies; this is the last chance for the student to secure money to assjsfe-iirH-througif college; it provides the wherewithal to purchase clothes and books for the youngster of ithe public school. In - a multi- tude of ways the hop indastry l l .. e t. : - . una uccuuic uj. veui utipui wiiiuc to all classes of our citizens,' as they are 11 affected - by hops in a gaf or jess degree. Without making a plea for anti-local option, it may not be out of place- to dwell uponx our consistency, or inconsistency; as a people. Aside from beer brewed from hops there is little or no Commercial demand for the products. A bale of hops would make yeast enough to J raise all the bread required in j Benton county for a year so, according to many good people, I we have only a legitimate need for a very small quantity xf hops. No, we do not use our hops, or the "poison" brewed from them, but we help harvest them, secure our "pin money" for the task, that thay may be sold abroad to degenerate and de moralize some other people. Many who cry out against the curse of rum (and it is a curse) are to be found in the hop yards today taking money for1 assist ing to make beer. Those who are opposed to beer brewing have a perfect right to their views and the expression' there of, but when they turn right around and accept money to help manulacture the "booze" for what they term the damnation of some other people, a fellow who professes to be a trifle shy on high and mighty moral in stincts fails to see by what pro cess these good people justify their course likewise their con sciences. But perhaps this is not for us to know, nor to in quire about. It might be better for the many men, women and children who pick hops if the yards were plowed up and sowed to wheat but there's nothing in wheat. Bad moral proposition, isn't it? We need the money have just got to have it. In view of the urgent need of the money, and the knowledge that "charity be gins at home,' we will quietly pick our hops and sell them where they cannot harm us. Meanwhile it snail ever remain our christian duty to work for the general up-lifting of our fel lows. Oh, Consistency ! Where art thou? COMMITTED SUICIDE. In Moment of Insanity Former . OAC Professor. a cnui or norror .wept over Corvallis, Saturday noon, when the news was .passed frni lip to hp that ProF. F. M. McE? fresh. a lortner rngmy rsspece-d p.o- fessoi of OAC, had committed suicide at his home near Silem I ne details or trie sad alt or are given as follows in Saturday's Oregonian, in a dispatch from Salem, dated Friday t. M. Mcfc,Hresh, superinten dent of the large Wallace' or chard near this city," committed suicide this afternoon bv shoot .if . it i ing nimseii in tne neaa witn a shotgun. Temporary insanity is the only possible explanation o his act. McEi fresh was one of the best known and highly es teemed fruit men -in this part of the valley. He was a graduate of the University of Illinois and from 1898 to 1 90 1 he was iro- fessor or botany and entomo; .ay at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. In the Fall of 1901 he took the superintendency of the Wallace orchard and filled it with entire satisfaction to the owners. Mr. McEl fresh was a conscien tious man and worried greatly whenever the work of the bis? orcharH did not proceed to the btit interests of his employers. He was just finishing the harvest of a 300-tou crop of pears, but in the last few dnys many pickers left to go to the hop yards and he worried, ovrr that. He ate hi .nondav meal as usual today uml sMve int'"uctions for the atilrnoou wcrk. He then went to the fruit house, placed the muzzle of a gun to hi. hcad and fired. His head was nearly severed from the body. He was alone in the building at the time. Workmen who- were .well ac quainted "with him, and to whom he talked a moment before enter ing the fruithouse, saw nothiDg unusual in his manner. " ; McElfresh was a native of Illi nois and was about 35 years of age. He was married in. Febru ary 1905 to Miss Gertrude Ewing of Oswego, Ore. There ? are no children. McE! fresh was well known to Oregon fruit men.. 'He attended horticultural meetings and fre quently delivered addresses of a practical nature. Funeral ar rangements have not been made . To Go South, If plans now on foot mature, the largest- shipment' of - vetch seed that has ever gone out . of this section will i.leave Corvallis this week. " L,. Brooks, the well-known rancher,' is, to be the shipper, and there will be 81,000 pounds of the seed in the carload: The destination is the Southern States, the exact point not being given out. , Mr. Brooks, from the time-oi his arrival in Benton county from the East, has " been known as a man of progressive ideas, always ready to assist in any public movement for the betterment of the cousty, city- or his particular neighborhood, and with his usual foresight, he has for a long time given much attention to vetch, realizing the possibilities in its production as a money-maker for the farmer. The shipment that-will leave here this week has been gathered from all sections of the county, and while, thefigures in the deal are not stated, it is safe to assert that Mr. Brooks will come out of the transaction with a "speck" to his credit, since he seldom' gees into a business proposition mere ly for bis health. . John Schroeder, the well-known stu dent of OAC, accompanied bv his sister, arrived yesterday from Portland. - They expert to go to Newport , today, accom panied by Mies Nellie Cameron and her brother, Amy Cameron, for a week's out ing. Mr. Schroeder will re-enter OAC this month. '.r Whose Say-so is Best ? With-nearly all medicines put up for sale through druggists,. one has to take the "maker's say-so alone as to their cura tive value. Of course, such testimony is not that of a disinterested nartv and accordingly is not to 'be given the same . credit as 11 written trom disinterested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines. - htiw ever, form a single and therefore striking exception to this rule. Their claims to .the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon .their makers' .say-so or praise. : Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid suilcrors are taken, into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. -Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes In praise of the curative value of the several ingredients entering into the well-known medicines. ' , Amongst these writers we find "such med ical lights as Prof. Finley 'Ellinsrwood. M. D., of Bonnet Medical College, Chicago; Prof. Hale of the same city: Prof. John M. Scud- dor. M. 1).. Into of Cincinnati, Ohio; Prof. John King, M. D., lato of Cincinnati. Ohio: Dr. Ciovcx Coc of New York; Dr. Bartho low, of Jefferson Medioat College, of Pa., and scores of others equally eminent. Dr. Plorco's Favorite Prescription cures the worst cases of femalo weakness, prolap sus.a:itevorsion and retroversion and corrects irregularities, cures painful periods, dries up aiaagreeaoie ana weakening urains, some times known as pelvic catarrh and a multi tude of other diseases peculiar to women. Bear in mind, it is not a patent nor even a secret medicine, but the "Favorite Prescrip tion " of a rogularly educated physician, of large experience in tho' cure of woman's peculiar ailments, who frankly and confid-" ingly takes his patients Into his full con fidence by teUing them just what his "Pro scription " Is composed of. Of no other medi cine put up for woman's - special maladies and sold through druggists, can it be said that the maker is not i.fr,ald to deal thus frankly, openly and honorably, by letting every patient using the san.e know exactly what she is taking. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond ence is guarded as sacredly secret and womanly confidences are protected by professional privacy. Addre Dr. E. V.
