FOR TEE MORALIST.
In New York City the mills of
the court are slowly grinding on
the case of Harry K. Thaw for
the shooting of Stanford White.
After nearly a year Thaw, the
spoiled boy of a rich mamma, is
receiving his trial. This fact
alone furnishes food for thought.
Our courts are slow, too slow al
together. If a man be innocent
of the crime of murder or any
other grievous offense against
society he will not desire to lie in
some bastile month after month;
if he is guilty a speedy sentence
is far best and cheapest-
In most of the countries of the
Old World little or no time
elapses in trying, passing judg
ment, and if need be, carrying
out the sentence of execution in
dealing with a murderer. The
matter is summed up thus: If
innocent a man should be speed
ily be cleared of the crime charg
ed, if guilty, as speedily punish
ed. In the case of Thaw we have
but one of many where for mon
etary or social considerations
trial has been delayed. There
are many who declare that Thaw
was justified in taking the life of
Stanford White. Maybe so. In
order to clear Thaw it was al
leged that he was insane tem
porarily. Of late years tempor
ary insanity is increasing with
alarming rapidity it is more
prevalent than appendicitis. But
when the "temporary insanity"
patient is out 01 trouble he is
out of danger. Did this ever sug
gest anything to your mind,
reader? Did it ever occur to you
that there are comparatively few
cases of ''temporary insanity
except where the ainictea may
have committed some serious of
fense?
During the past few days Eve
lvn Thaw, erstwhile Floradora
girl, but at present the loving
and confiding spouse of the slay
er of Stanford White, has been on
tha stand testifying in behalf of
her husband. She perhaps real
ized that she need fear no con'
tradiction in reciting her past re
lations with White, for dead men
tell no tales. She charges White
with her ruin before her mar
riage and alleges that she was
not free from his persecution
even after she had engaged in
the bonds of matrimony.
White may have deserved kill
ing on general principles, but in
looking over the past of Evelyn
Thaw, as she herself tells of it,
one is apt to conclude that she
was one of a horde easily led
astray and far from being a
good, modest, virtuous and home
loving woman.
CANAL MATTERS.
A bill has been introduced in
the United States senate by Sen
ator Kittredge on matters relat
ing to the constructian of the
Panama canal. By the provis
ions of the bill President Roose
"velt will be given absolute power
to act in affairs relative to con
struction. The bill authorizes
the president to place the work
in the hands of either a commis
sioner or a commission composed
-of seven members. In case an
individual is authorized to do the
construction work such individ
ual shall have the same power
and authority that would be vest
ed in a commission of seven
members.
W. J. Oliver wants to build
the canal and has submitted fig
ures on which is calculated cost
of construction. Oliver would
make a profit of more than four
million dollars according to con
servative estimates' Chairman
Shonts of. the Isthmian Canal
Commission qualifiedly expres
sed himself in favor of digging
the canal by contract. Secretary
Taft has expressed belief that
the public generally prefers to
have the construction done by
contract.
It may not be establishing a
good precedent to grant Presi
dent Roosevelt the authority
which would be vested in him by
the passage of the" Kittredge
bill, but if any one man is to
have snch authority in the mat
ter of building the canal Teddy
is first choice from our stand
point. We believe that he will
have the job done quicker and
better than any other - one man
on earth.
NORMAL SCHOOL FIGHT.
Desperate Battle Being Waged
What is Happening.
A dispatch in Saiuaday's Port
land Journal gives information on
the normal school situation, as
follows:
That there are to be two normal
schools in Oregon instead of four
is the will of the senate. This
desire found expression yesterday
afternoon by the vote of 22 to 7
alter two hours of the hottest
fighting that has ever been waged
in the senate during the present
session The location of the two
schools was left to a board of
normal school regents.
The normal school bills had all
been made a special order for 2
o'clock. During the last 24
hours before the hour of the
special order arrived the battle
had waged ia the lobby and in
every place where enators could
be found. A compromise combi
nation to sacrifice Drain and give
the remaining three schools tnaiu
tenauce had been formed. This
combination was opposed both by
the people who wanted to retain
all four.
To the efforts of Senators Cos
how Booth, M. A. Miller and
Dan. J. Malarkey the overthrow
of the compromise combination is
largely due. Cosbow, Booth and
Miller had worked incessantly
since day before yesterday to
break the combination, and they
were materially aided by the
clever generalship of Malarkey
on the floor.
The fight was begun at two
o'clock by an attempt to indefi
nitely postpone Senator M. A.
Miller's bill which abolished the
schools at Drain and Monmouth.
Atter one of the most able de
bates ot the session l5y Seuator
Miller the bill was put on its
final passage and was defeated by
the vote or 19 to 10. .
The bouse committee on ways
and means had taken the bit in
its teeth on the normal school
question and at a meeting today
reported appropriations tor three
1101 mal schools the ones at Ash
land, at Monmouth and at Wes
ton. To the Ashland school was
given $50,000, to Weston $35,000
and to Monmouth $45,000.
These sums are for mainte
nance alone, the items asked
for betterments having been cut
out. The Ashland school asked
for $10,000 for new buildings,
the Weston school $5,000 and
and Monmouth school $115,000.
The estimates of the Drain school
"iave not teen placed before the
committer
Senator Smith of Marion,
chairman of the senate commit
tee, opposed the action of the
committee as far as the normal
school fight Is concerned is un
certain, but it seems to be the
fine hand of the combination
which has decided upon keeping
three schools and allowing Drain
to pass oy the board.
BelSfountaid Briefs.
Mrs. Ida Belknap who has
been teaching the primary de
partment ot the Bellefountain
public school, has been forced to
resign on account of ill health
and the vacancy in the school
will be filled by her neice, Miss
Booth.
Mr. rnd Mrs. William Nichols

Burled Yesterday.
The remains of the late James
McKay, who died in Portland
Saturday night, were brought to
Corvallis yesterday noon for in
terment and burial was in the
Catholic cemetery, brief services
being held at the grave.
It mill be remembered in Cor
vallis tht James McKay was
taken to the home for the aged in
Portland last autumn, as he had
reached the age of lot years and
was such a care that no one was
left who could attend to his
wants. For years he made his
home with his daughter, Mrs.
John McG'e near Corvallis, frcm
whose home he was taken to
Portland.
James 'McKay was born in
Ireland, August 27, 1805 and
emigrated to America in 1819.
He has eight children in various
parts of the United States, one of
whom,'' William Mackey, was
formerly sheriff of Benton coun
ty. Hold-up attempted.
Last night about ten o'clock
two men whose names could not
be learned were crossing the
steel bridge bound for the home
of an uncle of one of the pair,
says Sunday's Albany Herald.
When they reached the center
of the bridge they were stopped
by two men, at the point of re
volvers, and ordered to deliver
over what valuables they possess
ed. Instead of obeying, the men
turned and bolted for the city,
escaping unharmed, the would
be robbers making no attempt to
hinder them, lhe men held up
are thought to be strangers in
town, naving arrived nere on
the evening northbound train.
The matter was not reported to
the police for some reason. La
ter in the evening two unknown
men attempted to break open a
loaded box car at the depot, but
were detected and put to flight.

When the Salem Journal said that
there was no taste to a kiss it made the
local editor of the Oregon City Star mad
and he elucidated thusly: "No taste to a
kiss ? Well by the hen feathers in Cu

in the palate. They tell us, those who
have tried it, that it tastes like the double
distilled essence of honey spread thick

Jolly Social Alfair.
'Twas a merry gathering which
assembled at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. W. T. Norton on last
Saturday evening, the occasion
being a surprise for Mr. and Mrs.
W. D. Strnnk and Mr. and Mrs,
M. Ashby. Games were played
and music was a feature of the
evening's entertainment, and the
occasion wfll long be pleasantly
remembered by those present.
Mr. and Mrs. Strunk will leave
the "Beaver State" on Tuesday's
morning train and will ake up
their residence in the land of the
Dakotas. It is with regret that
their many friends bid them
adieu, but none regret their go
ing more than Mr. and Mrs.
S runk themselves, and doubt
less before many years, they will
find themselves back in Corvallis.
Mr. and Mrs. Ashby have been
visiting relatives in this city for
the past two montns and expect
to leave tor their Iowa home in
about ten days. It is to be hoped
that they too have contracted the
Oregon fever and will find it
necessary to return, and Corval
lis friends would gladly extend
them a cordial welcome to their
mjdst as permanent residents.
The Chinese.
Conservative historians among the
Chinese claim for their race an an
tiquity of at least 100,000 years, while
those whose estimates are a little
"wild" assert that the Chinese were
the original inhabitants of the earth
and that Chinese history goes back at
least 500,000.000 years. The govern
ment records of China place the foun
dation of the empire at 2500 B. C. and
claim that It was established by Tohi,
who, they assert, is the Noah men
tioned in the book of Genesis, B. C.
2240.
FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS.
Don't Use Any Remedy That Keeps
Its Formula a Secret.
People troubled with stomach weak
ness cannot afford to use a medicine un
less they know what it contains.
Mi-o na is the one remedy for stom
ach troubles that publishes its formula;
chemically pare bismuth subgallate, to
allay any inflammation of the stomach
anl bowels; cenum oxalate, to
strengthen the stomach nerves; sodium
bi- carbonate, to neutralize the poison
ous acids that are present in stomach
troubles; and nux vomica, which re
stores vigor to the digestive organs and
tenes up the whole nervous system.
This combination of valuable reme
dies is found only in Mi-o-na stomach
tablets, and it so rarely fails to
strengthen the digestive system, and
care even the worst form of stomach
trcuble, that Graham and- Wells sell the
remedy undsr guarantee to refnnd the
money unless it cares.
A 50c box of Mi-o-na will give quick
rel'ef for indigestion, distress after eat
ing, sieeplesssness, or any of the other
symptoms of stomach troubles. Unless
it does this, the cost is nothing.

It is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through th6
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of tta
fairness.
