NOT PROPHETIC.
lne recent elections new in
Several states furnished little if
any indication what the strength
and line up of parties may be a
year hence. It is claimed the
result in New York will elinu
nate Yv. R. Hearst from state
politics and forestall his efforts
to secure any influence in the com
ing National Convention of the
democratic party. If this be
true the whole country and more
especially that, party should be
well pleased because American
politics has not fn recent years
if ever, produced a more danger
ous and platant demagogue than
W. R. Hearst. Yet in face, of the
decisive republican majorities in
King county Hearst's defeat in
New York City is not a bow of
promise that the democrats shall
carry the state in 1908.
Had Hearst and his combina
tion been defeated by some other
agencythan Tammanyit doubtless
would be of more certain benefit
to the democratic party. W. J,
Bryan may see some -grains "of
xcpmfort in the result in New
York but scarcely'enoujjh to com
pensate for the republican victory
in his own state. .
Th a success of the republicans
in Kentucky is mainly ascribable
to the advocacy of prohibition by
the democrats. Part of it may
be the result of a reaction of
feeling aroused by the Taylor-Goblefued-
The result in New
Jersey is attributed to the at
titude of the parties on prohibi
tion. Th? republicans favored
this and suffered a partial defeat.
Maryland did not go so strong
ly democratic as to blast republi
can hope of carrying the state
in the presidential contest next
year.
The chief cause for congratu
lation is found in the triumph of
Taylor for mayor of San Fran
cisco and the success of the
movement there for good gov
ernment. No city ever needed
purification and . thorough re
novation more than this city.
Even New York in the grasp
of "Boss" Tweed and his corm
orant following was but a mild
emption compared- with the
fetid, festering corruption that
for long has effected San Fran
cisco.' But the people have tri
umphed. F. J. Heney contribu
ted efficiently to the result and
. the labor vote was almost solid
for the cause of good govern
ment. This latter, while most gratify
ing should cause no surprise.
Intelligent labor has a stake in
the country, is patriotic every
day of the year as on the fourth
of July and has never failed to
support the cause of good govern
ment. The one thing of general ap
plication taught by San Francis
co's election is that sober-minded,
honest, patriotic men form the
majority in every American com
munity. When their conscience
is aroused and they are stirred to
action they can and will r-urify
their civic ar.d social atmosphere
even when it has become inde
scribably foul. Corollary to this
is the fact that it is by and
-t hrough their indifference to and
neglect of plain duty that the
social and political air becomes
rank and foul.
PRAISE THE BRIDGE.
Anti-protectionists now sneer
inglyask: "What now becomes of
a protective tariff as a prevent
ive of Danic?" It is bevond be-
lipf that anv nne whnsp io-rtnr-
. , j t I
Der morning S sea-IOg snOUia
seriously ask such, a question. !
Though be may be entitled to
wear the cap and bells on every
other subject yet will he know
protectionists never asserted that
a protective tariff prevents panics--
. ; ' - ,
What , are the , conditions
throughout the country today?
All the factories, mills and indus
trial enterprises of the great
manufacturing districts are un-
j usually prosperous and busy.
They have orders for their pro
ducts which will require many
months of work to complete. In
numerous instances orders have
been refused simply because
there was no room for them.
Labor, both skilled and unskilled
was never so generally employed
and received a higher wage.
The agriculturist has a demand
at home and abroad for his sur
plus products at prices he rare
ly, if ever before, has received,
But in the midst ot our unpar
alleled prosperity we have a
money panic not an industrial,
not a manulactunng, not a com-
merical, but money panic, and
that, too, when the amount of
money in the country is double
what it was a short time since.
The prime causes for this money
crisis for it is more this than it
is a panic are stock-gambling,
wildcat banking and frenzied
speculation. Here are elements
no tariff law can control or was
ever designed to control. These
causes have worked under both
protective and free-trade condi
tions, and when permitted to
work their ' ultimate results we
find the consequences invariably
are, bankruptcies, impared con
fidence, acute crisis panics and
wide-spread disaster. The pres
ent trouble b.as not been permit
ted to pass the crisis condition,
but has been turned back. This
has not been possible because
there has been no suspension of
industrial pursuits. The wage
worker continues his work and
receives his wages. While he
may do so he does not need his
savings and willingly leaves
them irHank until the storm is
past. Any one who is not dense
ly ignorant of our tariff history
must admit that if free-trade
were enacted today; or even seri
ously threatened we should have
destruction of credit, suspension
of business, lack of employment,
general bankruptcy, disorder
and ruin.
l.ms is not the opinion nor
specious argument but is the
stern, cold, uncontrovertible
record of our history.
With this history in mind one
has no difficulty in recognizing
that but -for our wonderful indus
trial development and prosper
ity, largely the result of protect
ion, we would now have the most
destructive panic the country
ever knew.
Wise men praise the bridge
that carries them safely over.
'Under Southern Skies'
The appearance of Lottie Blair
Parker's delightful play "Under
Southern Skies" is an event that
is looked forward to with inter
est by cur theatre-goers. The
company is large, numbering
twenty three people. The.scenery
is beautiful, everything used in
the production being carried by
the company. The costuming
is quaint and pretty, in the fash
ion 1875, which is the period of
the play. A Hallowe'en celebra
tion is one cf the lively features
of he performance, and never
fails to delight an audeice.
Beautiful Southern melodies are
introduced throughout the play
with great effect. The story. is
both strong and interesting, and
is relieved by much comejdy.
"Under Southern Skies" is
one of the big successes of recent
vears and no one who enjoys a
firstclass play presented in a first
class manner should fail to go to
the opera house on next Thurs
day night. 'Reserve seats now

B.W.Johnson, president of the Ben -
ton County Citizens .League, has receiv
ed a letter from the Oregon Good Roads
Association at Salem. This association
is t0 h"11 a convention in the Commer-
eial Club Rooms in Portland, November
14 aad 15, and all leagues, clubs and
commercial organizations throughout the
state are urged to send delegates. Samnel
Hill, president of the Washington btate
JjSood Roads Association, will be present
and also bring with him a number of
good roads enthusiasts from his State,
among whom will be Samuel Lancaster
of Tennessee, who is now in the employ
of the General Government and is one of
the most practical good roads engineers
that the Government has ever sent to
this coast. He will assist in enlightening
the convention upon every phase of road
ronetructiou' and also tell us Something
of some of the practical road laws now in
force in some of the states in this conn-
try. Much interest will be added to his
address by the use ot etereopticon views
f loads scientifically improved under bis
li ection and under the direction of some
of the best road builders in this and for
eign countries. There will be a banquet
given by the friends of the causa upon'
the evening of the 14th, at which time
they expect to have a good deal of fnn as
well as soma instructive knowledge upon
the subject of highway improvement.
The Automobile Clubs of Portland are
planning to give the delegates a ride over
the city and, among other places, visit
Kelly Butte where the County works the

B. F. Jones has filed with the railway
commission bis amended complaint
against the Corvallis '& Eastern R. R.
Co., in which he alleges that the railway
company does not- provide sufficient ac
commodations for passengers traveling
over its road between Albany and New
port, that many travelers, both men and
women, are compelled" to stand up all'
the way betweea Corvallis and Newport,
that many are compelled to ride oh the
platform, owing to the crowded condition
of the cars, and that the lives of the pass
engers are thereby endangered. Mr. Jones

a carrying capacity of 100 passengers,
whereas there are often as many as 350
passengers carried, by Said boat and
housi scow which is sometimes towed by
the boat and that the company sells
through tickets over the said boat, there-
oy discriminating against other safe boatd
operating on the bay.
The first train to pull out of Corvallis'
union depot was the Sunday local, Port-"
land bound. Hereafter al passefiger traf-

depot, as well as all freight, the C & E
road having, been formally taken ovtr by

of fixtures from the S P to the union de
pot occurred Sunday.
The United Artisans had a very pleasant
social time at their hall Thursday eve
ning. Music by a stringed quartette, and
refreshments were features. .
According to Satuiday's Oregonian,
Dr. James Witbycomhe of Corvallis had
the following to say regarding the Port
land horse show : "I Bpent a season at
the horse show held in Madison Square
Garden when it was at the zenith of its
popularity and I must confess that Port
land's first horse show compares very fa
vorably with the one I attended, and in
some respects overshadows the big New
York show, especially in the saddlers
class. Of course iri"fbe matter of appoint
ments, tbe display at New York was es
pecially fine and much larger and better
than what is being shown tier, but this
sort of thing is new to us. The display
in the saddle horse classes, both fo r man
and women, is dazzling, and I have never
seen a finer or a better mannered lot.
Great credit is due the Hunt Club for
giving such a splendid show. I consider
it one of the best things that could be
done for tbe horse industry in the State
of Oregon. Its effect will be far reaching
and its benefits will live. The Oriental
building is an ideal place to hold a show
ot this character. The show ring is be
yond doubt tbe best west of Chicago and
the lighting ofthe building makes its
postiole for the jur'gos to see without
difficulty in the evening as well as the
afternoon."

Methods
of the ' English -at Table la
the Seventeenth Century. . .
The old English, had three meal
a dav. of which the chief meal was
taken when the work of the .day was,!
finished., rne nrsi ,meai was at a
o'clock, dinner was about 3 o'clock,
and supper was taken just before
bedtime. The Normans dined at
the old English breakfast time or a
little later and supped at 1 p. m.
In - Tudor times the higher classes
dined at 11 and supped at 5 o'clock,
but the . merchants seldom took
their meals before 12 and 6 o'clock.
The chief meals, dinner and sup
per, were taken in the hall both by
the old English and the Normans,
for the-parlor did not come into use
until the reign of Elizabeth. Break
fast did not became a regular meal
until quite lately, and Dr. Murray
in the.Oxford Dictionary gave 1643
as the date of the earliest quota
tion , in which the word occurred.
The meal did not become recog
nized until , late in the seventeenth
century, for Pepys habitually took
his draft of half a pint of Rhenish
wine fr a dram of strong waters in
place xf a morniqg meal. Dinner
was always the great meal of the.
day, and from the accession of Hen
ry IV. to the death of Queen Eliza
beth the dinners were as sumptuous
and extravagant as any of those
now served.
Carving was then a fine art. Each
guest brought his own knifehand
spoon,, for the small fork was not
introduced into England until
Thomas Coryate of Odeombe pub
lished his "Crudities" in 1611,
Pepys took his spoon and fork with
him to the lord mayor's feast in

There was an ominous stillness in
the house as the great physician en
tered and made his way to -his pa
tient's room. Hastily he made his
examination, his eyes showing the
deep" sympathy he felt.
"Madam," he said, "I am indeed
sorry to see you in such a condition
as this. What has happened? Have
you been run over by a motor car?"
With, infinite difficulty and ob
vious pain the patient roused her
self, and the white hps slowly
moved. "
"No, doctor," she moaned, "but I
fainted in church and was brought

studying first aid to the injured."

out his notebook and entered the

From the earliest days of the ring -the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,

weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the

the stomach, he'd have laughed at him

BEST OF PROOF.
That Hyomei Will Cure all Forms
of Catarrhal Diseases.
Testimonials CDuld be printed by the
thousands, many of them from Corvallis
and nearby towns, that Hyomei is an
absolute cure for all catarrhal troubles,
but tbe beat proot of its unusual curative
powers is tbe guarantee that Graham &
Wells give with every outfit that they
sell, "Money back if Hyo tiei does not do
all that is claimed for it."
. Hyomei is not a secret remedy. Its
formula is given freely to physicians who
want to know what they use when they
prescribe Hyomei. It is guaranteed un
der the Pure Jf'otid and Drug Law by
serial No. 1418.
By breathing Hyomei, the healing
medication goes directly to every nook
and corner of the air passages where tba
catarrhal germs may lurk, and disinfects
And heals. To be convinced of this you
have only to give it a trial, remembering
that if it does not cure, Graham & Wells
will refund your money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.00, and inmost cases is sufficient to
cure the disease, makiag it not only a
scientific treatment but one that is highly
economical. Get an outfit todajy from
Graham & Wells if you have any catarrh.
