There is no sense ordinarily in decrying a man for his success pSp)33ihly in some instances he may be condemned, or at le"st held responsible for his failures. But when men reach a certain position in the financial world by the fact of their aston ishing successes it then becomes largely dependent upon the man ner of man he is whether he is productive of good. Mr. Harrirrnn is in the rai road worid in the position of a king. We must have railroads and it taks brains to manage these sys tems, and men of the Harrima stamp, it seems must have the job. But too much power is bad for man the brain will not stand it, as the history of the world nroves. With all his almost incomprehensible gra p of affair in railroad circles and the world of finance Mr. Harriman's brain gives evidence of being on the spaaing point. For instance, he makes a poor witness in court. He ei! her ad mits when he refuses to answer questions in court regarding his road and its policies and glibly remarks, "I am in the hands of my counsel," t hat either he does not know enough to trust him self to answer these interroga tions or he .. great a knave to Ho. He seems to taks him-elf seriously when he takes unto himself the attributes of Divin ity. Oh, for some court that can see "contempt" in a man of power so readily as in a man of the masses! And yet Mr Harrirmn who do- not .! ow enoug h to speak u in court, who must be fool or knave, who by his courtly silence and depende i -- upon "his coun sel" admits said counsel to be either brainer or more of the knav5 than himself, criticises President Roosevelt for his con ductof Isthmian affairs relative to the building of the canal. Ye gods! Harriman would like to build the canal. If Roosevelt cannot do the job satisfactorily to the people then we may turn to Harriman, who by his rugged honesty (?) presumes to assume himself exalted, deified, (?) by the people of the United States t: a degree that Roosevelt must play "second fiddle" to him in anything. Surely "'tis a mad world, my master." OAC Lost. The honors fell to Willamette University in the first debate of the season held at the armory in this city Friday night- A good sized audience was present to listen to the spirited discussion of the subject, "Resolved. That the Monroe Doctrine Should be Discontinued as a Part of the Permanent Foreign Policy of the United States." Willamette Uni versity had the affirmative, their debating team Heing Messrs. Harry Spaulding, George Wilson and Ray Shields, whose ability was demonstrated by the final decision being in their favor. The OAC men made an excel lent showing and did themselves and all OAC credit. The team was Cyril Brownell, Royal Sel lick and Mark Weatherford. The judges were Rev. Elliott, of Portland, President Crooks, of Albany College, and M. M. Long, of Corvallis . During the evening the college glee club, which is being in structed by Miss Edna Sheehy, gave two numbers that were ex ceptionally good and elicited merited applause from the aud ience. ! At thelconclusion of the dc bata, the two debating teams, j the judges, Prof, and Mrs- Hor ner and several invited guests, repaired to Hotel Corvallis where a very elaborate banquet was served in splendid syle. ; What They are Doing. Mention wa3 made recently in these columns of a "Boy's Club" that had been organized at the Christian church, and further developments in the work have shown the far-reachine effect that the movement is certain to produce. Tnere are already 40 members of the "Boys' Brigade," which means that forty young boys are being given a course in whole some entertainment and instruct ion and are thus possibly kept from spending their time with less desirable companions or in idleness. Under the able instruction of Miss Greeta Gray, a class of 20 public school girls twice a week receive physical cultui'e training, while Carl Clark, of OAC, in structs a large number of boys in military drill work. In addi tion to these Rev. Handsaker has a class of ten the members of which are taught the art of public speaking. This is not a course in elocution, as might be implied, but teaches the pupil to speak before an audience and to be self-possessed and easy in m wement and gesture. Another class of ten receives singing les sons from Rev. Handsaker, and the entire course of work is un der the direction of Secretary Roberts of the college Y. M. C. A., who instructs the various leaders how to conduct the work in conformity with Y. M. C. A. plans, which is the underlying idea of the movement. Harry Belknap is taking steps towards a similar club for the Methodist church, and it is pro bable that other churches will fall in line and take up the work which certainly appears '"worth while."

On Thursday evening Ser geant Schoof g ive the second of his interesting talks on South Africa at the M . E. church. His description of the diamond fields and the laws governing them was very clear and instruc tive. As a personal friend of Rhodes and Barnato he was able to explain the difference in the character and influence of the two men whose lives are so close ly woven in the history of Africa. With completion in the near future of the railroad from Cape Town to Cairo, it will not be long until all of Africa will be open to the missionary work, which is doing much in its civilizing in fluence. The difficulties of road building through trackless swamps with the many mysterious diseases and winged pests was most clear ly described. the lecture tfrmay evening proved to be the most interest ing of the course. The graphic narration of hunting scenes and thrilling adventures in which the speaker had participated were as full of instruction as of interest. The peculiarities of the lion in its native haunts, and of the boa constrictor and python were new to many of the hearers. Admiration of the natives was not increased by the knowledge that some of the lower tribes use the flesh of the python for food. One chief stands out prominent ly for his goodness and broad ness. Khamas was converted in 1864, arid since then has spent about $1,000,000 for the better ment of his people along educa tional and agricultural lines. Like the Kaiser he is able to preach to his people and they love and respect him. The Jamieson raid was briefly sketched and ' he reasous for its failure given. This was one of the most interesting historical talks of the evening. The many relics and curios were pointed out and something told of each. The ' awkard squad" was put through a drill; and then the feat of splitting a potatoe on a boy's head with a sword, was suc cessfully done. A sword drill was the closing feature of the evening.

Gets the Ax. Salem, Feb. 28 Preferring to trust to the judgment of the peo ple or the next legislature, the majority of which has shown a disposition to shitt its responsi bilities, Governor Chambtrlun yesterday atttr.oon attached h"s veto to the state printer flit sal ary bill. His principal reasons for vetoing the bill were that the legislature shirked its duty to the people in extending the time of the act's effect four years hence, in order to exclude the present in cumbent, alid that the legislature has no authority to anticioate ihe wishes of the next legislaiuie and the people, w ho may see ft 10 act in their owa behalf in the meantime. The governor also vetoed the bill requiring corporations to re cord cnarjges in their boards of directors, because he deemed the act useless, and anyone having a desire to secure such knowledge may do so at the state corpora tion department.

The Only Way to Cure Stomach Dis orders is Strengthening the Digestive Organs. The ordinary "dysnppsia" tablet has ruined more stomachs than all other causes combined Giving temporary relief, it leaves the digestive system weaker than ever, and the tablets mnpt be continued with increasing frequency. The only way to completely cure stom ach trouble is by etreDgtheniDg the di gestive organs with a Mi-o-na stomach tablet, taken befo.e meals. Used in this wav Miro-na excites the secretion of gas tric juice, and when the food is swallow- el, the stomach is ready to digest it. Mi-o-na stomach tablets are never sold in bulk, but in a neat box conven ient for the purse or vest pocket at 50c, A guarantee is giv n by Graham & Wells with every box of Mi-c-na, that money will be relunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction.
