HON. H. M. CAKE.
Hon. H. M- Cake, republican
candidate for nomination as Uni
ted States Senator will address
the voters of Corvallis and Ben
ton county at the court house on
Tuesday evening, March 17th, at
7:30 o'clock. Mr. Cake is a very
entertaining speaker and as this
is the first speech of the cam
naijrn we bespeak for him a good
audience. To a direct vote of
the DeoDle is now left the selec
tion or election of a Senator. Go
and hear him that you may vote
intelligently.
should not worry for anything.
Whether, then, one be a pagan
tri nr a devout christian he dis
credits the founder of his school
of philosophy, the philosophy of
life, when he worries.
Seeing the foolishness, the fu
tility and harmfulness of worry
everyone should avoid it. This
may be done by becoming an non-
est stoic or an earnest christian ;
hnt if vou embrace the latter s
DhilosoDhy, be watchful lest the
former's practice present his as
the better philosophy.
NOT TO BE RESTRICTED.
WHY WORRY?
Of all foolish and hurtful things
wnrrv should head the list. It is
foolish because it never did and
npver can do any good. It's m
fluence is harmful, and only
harmful, not only upon the one
who worries, but upon all with
whom he comes in contact.
The thines over which men
and women worry are mainly
those which do not transpire.
Thev exist only in imagination.
They are untoward things which
the imagination pictures as most
imminent, and which the false
logic of a disturbed mind declares
cannot be avoided.
The victim of chronic worry
worries over things past, things
present and things to come. This
he does in spite of the truth that
the cast is beyond recall, and
however ill its legacies we must
accent them. The future none
can know, none foretell. We
know no more of what may
transDire an hour hence than of
what may occur a thousand years
hence. As to the present, that
is but a little moment which
comes freighted with joy or sor
row and is cast before we can

Whv should we worry ? The
wnrlH ia ruled, even our destiny
fixed' it may be, without aid or
counsel of ours. A blind relent
less Fate rules ani directs all
things or a benign Providence
does. If blind Fate rules, let us
become fatalists. Let us accept
and practice the philosophy of
Zeno become stoics. Better so,
more rational than to worry. It
is ea-y. On board a ship at sea
durinar a terrible storm which dis
mayed the mariners Zeno ob
served a swine quistly feeding
"There," said he, ".s your true
philosopher." Certainly the an
imal was not worrying. Why
should man, a rational being,
worry ?
But a beniurn Providencp, rath
er than Fate may rule and direct
all thinsrs. If so, He says to men
come into harmony with me ' 'and
I will guide thee continually.
"Take no heed of to-morrow,
what ye shall eat nor wherewithal
ye shall be clothed."
Here is a philosophy which
teaches that men have, or easily
may have divine care and guid-1
ance. All that is necessary for
man to have such care is to
place himself in harmony with
the divine will and purpose. He
has divine help and guidance even
in this work to continual gui d
ance. Surely if men are guided and
their lives ordered continually by
infinite wisdom, beneficence and
love there is no cause, can be no
cause for worry. Yet christians,
believers in the christian philos
ophy of life are those who worry
most. It must be that such chris
tians are not quite in earnest, do
not accept and practice the ten
ents of their own philosophy.
NAfrhino- ran he more rational

Senator Penrose of Pennsylva
nia, has introduced a bill which,
should it become a law, would
make the Postmaster-General a
censor of the press of the whole
country. It would empower the
Pnct-nffice "Department to ex
clude anv issue of any periodical
from second-class mail privile
ges," when, in the judgment of
the Postmaster-General such is
sue should not be distributed
fchroucrh the mails.
The law as it now stands, ex
eludes ohscene. vicious and im
moral matter of whatsoever class
and provides for the apprehen
sion. indictment, public trial ana,
upon conviction, the severe pun
ishment of- those who use trie
mails for the distribution of such
matter. There is no censorship,
for the law specifies what shall
be excluded. There are no Star-
Chamber proceedings, for trials
must be Dublicly conducted.
It is true the present law does
not exclude certain ultra-radical
and pernicious publications,
though it is probable that the
mass of the American people wish
such periodicals Jwere denied the
u se of the mails. But since these
are devoted to the dissemination
of social and political theories,
even though radically wrong and
destructive they have been ac
corded the privileges of the mails

We will not consent that the
press of the whole country shall
he nlaced under censorship, espe
cially when it easily might result
in muzzling it, and preventing
its full, free discussion of all pub
lic questions and its fearless crit
icism of parties and the conduct
of public officials.
Our determination to preserve
a free press and free speech has
caused us to condone much un
seemly abuse of these rights
But the American people justly
reerard these rights as the Palla
dium of their liberties and they
will not consent to anything that
may impair and ultimately de
stroy those rights which are pre
servative of all their rights
Sometime we shall find an etfec
tual way of dealing with those
who abuse the freedom of the
press and free speech but it will
not be restricting the exercise of
the rieht.
Publishers of radical and per
nicious theories of whatever sort
must learn that the guaranteed
exercise of a rig nt does not license
the abuse of such right.
The funeral of the late William
R. Wilcox was held at the fam

Oregon Apples.
Oregon Newtown apoles are

California Newtowns bring only
10 shillings a box. That is a
wide margin in favor of Oregon.
But there is a wider one in tne
case of the Maine apples. The
best ot tbem brintr but 10 snni-
ings a barrel, or one third as
much as the Oregon product.
Here is food for reflection in
Orecon. It is also food for con-
gratulations. Nearly twice as
much lor Oregon as tor Cali

as much as the best Maine apples

Such a person was abroad last

deer was a poor old doe which
came bounding over tne piowea

fore leg shattered and broken by
a shot from the gun of the mer
