MR. HARRIMAN.
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."

TWO INTERESTING EVENINNS.
With Major Schoof Conclusion
of Lecture Course.
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.

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.

It is well to apply to the open sores Dr.

BEWARE 0 DIGESTIVES.
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. This shows
their faith in the merits of the remedy,
