FOINTS TO TAFT.
Iiegardless of party the great
m.ss of the voters of the United
. St vies have' been hoping that
President Roosevelt would finally
be Dersuaded to dissolve his
resolution not to again be a can
didate for the presidency and
accept another term. . It now
looks as though such hopes were
futile.
Roosevelt is said to be fur-
-thering the interests of Taft
an d doing all he can for him in
a quiet .way. This certainly
looks as though Roosevelt were
determined to stand by his reso
lution just-after his election
when he issued a statement to the
effect that under no conditions
would he accept another term as
president, ui course ne is in a
position to greatly assist another
man to the place and, from all
reports, is assisting his friend,
Taft.
Taft may be all very well,
b ut we doubt if he will prove the
equal of Roosevelt who could,
for that matter? Taft may be
capable and of as honest inten
tion as any man, but it is more
than doubtful if he possesses
courage in so high a degree to
give battle for what he deems
right, regardless of whom he
may injure. Few men in the
history of the world have proved
themselves such champions of
rijjht for right's sake as Roose
velt, still in Mr. Taft we may
have another such champion. No
mar. can say until the- matter
has been put to the test. In
case he is the choice of the people I
next year Mr. Taft may make
good in fine shape. Let us hope
so if he is selected to wear Roose
velt's mantle.
We recall the fact that a few
years ago when Theodore Roose
velt was nominated for the vice
presidency there was more than
a little consternation in the aver
age republican mind and not a
few were inclined to look upon
said nomination as a calamity. If
Mr. Taft is to be president it is
to be hoped that he will prove
just such a calamity as Mr.
Roosevelt has been.
NOTHING DOING.
For some six or eight weeks
the universal peace congress has
been in session at The Hague.
The men composing the confer
ence are supposed to be leading
lights and heavy weights in the
world's affairs, but so far as the
accomplishment of anything to
assure peace is concerned there
is little or nothing to be proud of.
Men may cry "Peace!" but
there is no peace. To get to
gether a body of men for the dis
cussion of matters relating to the
re., ulntion of war does not insure
peace. In the history of the
world there has never been a!
period when peace could be as-'
sured even for a short time. It J
is an impossibility. Even the'
making of rules of war will do
little good if they are not of such
a nature that the civilization and
general enlightenment of the I
warring parties are not in sym
pathy with them for humanitarian
reasons.
That nation which is best able
to protect itself in case of war is
more secure in its desires for
peace than a nation too weak to
protect itself from the ravages
of a stronger power. When two
nations are determined upon war
all The Hagues and peace con
gresses in Christendom will be
powerless to prevent, or even de
lay it.
From what we can learn The
Hague is a real nice place for a
summer outing. The govern
ments foot the bill and those who
are so fortunate as to be in the
saddle have a picnic This is
about the size of the matter, look
at it from aDy standpoint.
Additional Local.
Thomas Callahan spent Sunday at the
coast with bis wife.
R. H. Huston and family retaraed
Sunday night from a two weeks' onling
at Elk City. "
Earl Heckart of this city is now holding
second position in the Portland Journal's
educational contest, and his energy is
certainly to be commended by all. Every
citizen who needs a Portland daily paper
should rally to the support of this yonng
"bustlei" and help bin to secure a
scholarship. True pluck and ambition
merit reward.
The Gazette acknowledges the receipt
of a neatly printed pamphlet on tlic
question,, "Did Sir Francis Drake land on
any part of the Oregon Coast." The
writer is E. M. Brereton, C. E.,who
sends the pamphlet with bis compli
ments. Mapr t E. Fdwards left Corvallis,
yesteraav. for San Luis Obispo, Cali
fornia, where he will have charge of the ,
Chemistry department of the California
Polytechnic Cdlege. For years the
gentleman has been a professor in the
State Agricultural College located in tbie
city and has proved his efficiency beyond
question. As a man and a scholar tle
Major ranks high and we feel that San
Luis Obispo is to be congratulated o i
the acqnisition. Many friends in this
section, whiie sorry to see Major Edwards
depart, wish him unbounded success in
his new field.
William Leadbetter arrived home, Sat"
urday, from a trip to Portland.
Misses Mae and Elate Gerhard returned
from their outing at the coast, Sunday j
evening, and Con Gerhard went over, to
oin his f amily.
G e ore MeWillis of Fossil, Oregon, was
in Corvallis over Sunday, driving a lot
of b nneh grass horses. He left here for
Toledo. - At Suver, en route to Corvallis,
some oi me norses nroKe away and in
running under a brides to bead them off,
Mr. McWillis struck a timber or a nail,
cutting a gash about three inches long
and severing an artery. In spite of the
wound, which bled profusely, the injured
man came on to this city alone, and Dr.
Parnot caught up the artsrv and sewed
up the gash.

Come to our store and get a sam-'
pie of Chi-Kamel applied to
wood. Take it Lome and test it
First. Strike the wood sample a heavy
blow with a hammer, and note that while
the wood nay bo indented a quarter of
an inch, the varnish has not marred or
cracked. This proves that Chi-Namel
is very elastic.
second. Place the wood sample id a
tea kettle, and note that boiling water
dors sot tarn it v. hite. This proves that
Chi-niLme! contains no rosin.
Third. Apply whiskey. This proves
that Chi-Namel will stand upon bar tops.
Fourth. Allow a can of the varnish
to stand opn over night, and note that
there is no evaporation. This proves
that Chi-Namel contains no benzine.
Fifth. Spread varnish over fiat sur
face, and brush ia every direction, and
note "self levelling" effect This proves
that all brush mark3 disappear, and the)
result will be pleasing no matter bow
inexperienced the applier may be., -
