FOR THE PUBLIC.
The day is coming all too soon
wiicn Dlie term "public domain"
will be but an echo of by-gone
days in the United States. For
years the policy of land-grabbing
has been practiced until to
day thousands upon thousands of
acres are owned and controlled
by both corporation and individ
ual interests. Many thousands
of these acres lie in wait for
speculative purposes, while hon
est American-born men are
are denied even land enough up
on which to build their cottages.
This is not right nor in accord
with the ideas of the masses of
our better citizens.
President Roosevelt has made
it very plain that his idea is that
there must be an extension of
federal power in order to curb
the aggressions of predatory
wealth and to regulate corpora
tion. It appears that there is
good grounds for the president's
view. Perhaps by an enlarge
ment of the powers of the feder
al government means could be
found for the protection of the
public domain.
Thousands of acres of land
now lying in a state of barren
ness and waste should be con
erted into fertile farms. Some
means should be found for doing
this. The greater number of
farms the richer the nation and
the citizens thereof. We have
85,000,000 people 6,000,000 farms
one farm for every fourteen
persons. Double the farms and
you quadruple the wealth and
p.vwer of the people and afford
the means for the creation of a
nigner lite and more stable gov
ernment. SAINTS,
"Be good and you'll be
happy." is an ancient saw. Ah,
me! Just so, but what one per
son conceives to be alright is
frowned down by some other
person who is a self-appointed
authority on "goodness," and de
sires to act as a guide through
all the avenues leading toward
saintliness. Some people are
forever "getting struck" by
something; it may be by light
ning, peculiar traits of genuine
"cussedness," or it may be they
are struck by the idea that they
are the personification of all
goodness, and wisdom, too.
The latter class are the most
sickening of any to a person of
well-balanced mentality. Assum
ed sugary, saintly qualities are
nauseating to people of good
sense. This class are eternally
attempting to convey the im
pression that they are too good
to do this or that thing, when
they sneakingly perpetrate hypo
critical acts beneath the dignity
of any self-respecting citizen of
honest purpose. From what they
assume in the role of "goodness"
the conclusion is that they are
too good for this world and the
average person experiences gen
uine sorrow and regret that these
earthly saints have not long
since been wafted to those pearly
shores where their angelic qual
ities would be appreciated and
where the creatures themselves
would feel more at home.
Life is too short for these peo
ple to attend their own affairs
they must meddle in their neigh
bor's business. No place is too
sacred for them to intrude their
inquisitive snouts. Whatever
they do. that you should do or
be rated as a sinner of the great
est magnitude. Tney act some
what in the style of the Puritan
Fathers who came to this coun
try to escape what they consid
ered religious persecution. . When
tuese good old Puritans had siir--
pd the yoke that galled and
were in circumstances such as
would be expected to make them
broad of mind, especially in view
of their experiences, what did
they do? ..Did they grant to
! others the privilege which they
fled the Old World - to enjoy?
Not a' bit of it. They became as
tyrannical, especially in inatters
of religion, as they had consider
ed those whom they had former
ly looked upon as their persecu
tors.
All about us we find those of
assumed "goodness," who, had
they but the power, would make
each and all of us do their
sweet will, regardless of the fact
that this is supposed to be a land
of the free, and we a people of
independent thought and action.
Human nature changes slowly, if
at all, for on every hand we find
the qualities of the Puritan
Fathers in evidence. Because of
improved ideas of men and wo
men whole communities are af
fected and the more timid act
hypocritically, while those of
sterner metal are "blacklisted"
by these saints of earth.
The highest aim in life should
be to live to the purer and better
ideals, each individual for him
self. Make of yourself, not a
hypocrite, but a true, honest and
sincere man or woman, fearing
not rhe cant of those who assume
divine qualities and superior wis
dom. Should you have a religion
live it truly in your every day
life; do what you conceive to be
right and do not be effected by
the ravings or railings of crea
tures weaker than yourself. Be
liberal and live a free, but pure
life. Follow the teachings of the
Golden Rule and fear naught.

Died in Portland.
William E. Marvin who was
taken to Portland for a surgical
operation last Sunday, was oper
ated on at St. Vincents hospital
at 9 a. m. Monday morning and
died Tuesday morning at four.
The remains were brought back
to Corvallis on the 8:30 train
Tuesday evening.
Deceased was born in Ohio 66
years ago and at the age of two
vears moved with his parents to
Iowa. He was married March
25th, 1862, to Miss Caroline C.
Sixton, who is the. surviving
widow. Of this union 12 chil
dien were born, nine of whom
survive. They are J. B. Marvin,
Corvallis, W. E. of Peoria, and
Misses Nelle and Gladys ot Cor
vallis, Daniel and Clark, two
sons of Oxford, Iowa, T. C.
Marvin of Marengo, la., a daugh
ter of Oxford, la , and another
one of Brooklyn, li.
William Marvin enlisted in
the Civil wat in 1861, among the
first volunteers and served three
months in Co. B., First Iowa
Volunteers.
The funeral occurred yesterday
afternoon at 2 p. m. at the Pres
byterian church, under the aus
pices of the A. F. and A. M.,
conducted by Rev. C. L. Mc
Causlaud. Many iriends were
present to honor the departed and
sympathize with the living.
Interment was in Crystal Lake
cemetery.
Did Corn Cause Death?
Whether or not canned corn
cpust-d the sudden death of Mrs.
J. W. D.iygett and her seven
year-old son a few -lays ago, near
Lebanon, is a question not vet
tully settled. Tne report of the
state health officer is to. be ob
tained on the subject and the re
sult will be awaited with inteits;
by thefgeneral public. '
These deaths of Mr.: Daggett
and her! son ' were sudden and
violent, and three chickens on
the Daggett ranch ate of the corn
and d'fd in a short t;me, which
drew attention to the canned stuff
as a possible cause ot the deaths.
Speaking of tte matter an Al
bany paper says:
Substance taken from the vic
tims of the sttange : malady -wis
forwarded to the health officer in
Portland by the local physician
in charge, and a report cf the
examination is expected to be
received soon, which may deter
mine the nature of the disease
which brought about death.
Yesterday the beans of the three
chickens which died soon after
eating canned corn thrown out bv
Mrs. Daggett, were ordered sent
to this city from Lebanon, and
an examination will be conduct
ed to ascertain, if possible,
whether the fowls did not die
from the same cause as Mrs.
Daggett and child.

PARENTS' MEETING.
Was
a Success Some of the
Features Enjoyed.
A big day was spent at Wells
last, Saturday at ttfie Parents'
Mating- " Tuere was a literary
program fnrnisbed by the Soap
Creek and Wells schools. The
numbers were all nicely rendered,
and were enjoyed by all. The
regular program consisted of reg
ular discussions of educational
subjects, in touch with the school.
Sup't Denman explain; d the big
Fair next year. An intense in
terest is everywhere manifested
on the part of pupils and pareuts.
From present prospects it will be
a hummer, and the exhibits will
open the eyes of all of Benton.
R.N. Wiiliamson took the
subject "Agriculture in Public
Schools." He showed the im
portance and the necessity that
the elements of agriculture be
taught to the , boys and girls.
He thought that in order to do
this wors properly, the large
amount ot money annually appro
priated to the state schools should
be diverted to the public schools.
Spend less for Normals and more
for the common school was his
theme.
Prof. L. B. Baldwin took as
his subject "Pub'ic Spirit in
our Public Schools." The wav
he handled the subject showed
his intense interest m educating
the masses. Among the many
salient points advanced were:
Don't be so miserly as to vote
down every effort to vote a strull
tax to educate your spirit; have
larger and bet er kept grounds;
pay your teachers better salaries;
have longer terms of school ; see j
that the teacher has the neces-
aary apparatus to work with; seej
(.0 it that you do not antagonize
he teacher lor punishing your
child. To not favor any of thes.-
poiuts is to be against public
policy.

An Anti-Trust Law,
Smith of Umatilla has intro
duced into the senate an anti
trust law that will, if passed, put
a stop to all sort3 of "trust"
propositions in Oregon.
Combining to fix the price that
any dealer must pay for any ar
ticle is especially forbidden. The
provisions of the bill are so ex
tensive in their scope as even to
prohibit agreements to fix the
fees of physicians, lawyers, rates
and terms of loaning money, and
other combinations of like char
acter. Should the bill be placed on
the statute books, it is claimed
for it that it would prevent the
operations in this state of combi
nations like the Standard Oil, and
all manner of trusts. Senator
Smith says that the persecutions
of the Standard Oil in Missouri
are being conducted under very
similar statute?.
Special provisions for the en
forcement of the terms of the
bill are made. The neglect or
refusal of any district attorney
to prosecute violators of the pro
posed law not only lays the offi
cial liable to criminal prosecution
but operates as a forfeiture of
his office.
Among the provisions of the
bill is one forbidding the combi
nation of any persons to fix the
commission to be paid for the
sale of any article. This provis
ion specifiea that two persons are
sufficient to enter into the un
lawful combination.
