MR. BEAN'S POSITION RIGHT
In an interview in the Portland Journal, Representative
"Bean, of this county, is reported to have saia:
"You ask me how I stand on the United States senatorship,"
', said Mr. Bean in answer to a question put to him. "I consider
the United States senatorship has been fully eliminated from
'consideration and should not enter in any way into the organ -ization
of the house. I consider that that matter was settled
' by the people at the June election."
"You say that you are absolutely independent. Does that
statement carry with it the question of a United States sena
tor?" Mr. Bean was asked, and he answered:
"It certainly does. Personally I would like to see a good
' Republican sent to the United States senate. As I said before,
I consider that question was settled at the June election, and in
the event that I should be chosen speaker I. would in no way use
or allow to be used in any way the speakership or the powers
vested in the speaker to further the interest of any man for the
United States senate, or to further the combination of any set
-of men for the purpose or defeating Mr. Chamberlain. '
"If the statement No. 1 members voluntarily wish to disre
gard their pledges, in so doing the whole responsibility must rest
with them. I will in no way aid or sanction the breach of any
, pledge, either directly or indirectly." 1 , ,
Mr, Bean's position is consistent and honest, and one that he
can take without sacrificing his ante-election convictions. More
over, it is good citizenship to accept the verdict of the majority
with good grace and in good humor. We hope Mr. Bean wins
Jiis fight for the speakership.

' PLAY THE GAME AT HOME
The University faculty is right in demanding that the annual
U. of O.-O. A. C. game be played on the campus of the respec
tive colleges. While either team might with propriety and to
its financial advantage meet the Idaho and Washington teams
on the Portland field, pride in the two big state institutions and
the cities they are located in should demand the playing of the
one really great game on the college campus. To take it to Port
land merely for the purpose of swelling the gate receipts is mirn
iu time to be detrimental to the student body spirit, and further
mere the gambling instinct is given full sway, as was the case in
the late game at Portland, where the students and their friends,
"backing the losing team, lost heavily, much of it ot the "profes
Bional" gamblers of the city. On the college campus this evil
may be ourbed and reduced to the minimum, as it most certain
ly should be. However, the Corvallis sentiment seems to be in
favor of Portland, as the following very unkind and ungentle
manly comment of the Times of that city would indicate.:
. The fitculty of the University of Oregon has passed a strong resolution
agulnst playing the annual Oregon-O. A. C. fotball game any place else than
on the campuses of the two institutions:. All of which testifies to the in
comparable wisdom, the stupendous Intellectuality, the scintillating bril
liancy 'and effervescent selfishness ot Prosldmit Campbell's think-tanks.

MATHEWS' DEATH
STILL REMAINS
DEEP MYSTERY
And still the news comes trickling in regarding the severe
storms throughout the Eastern and Middle States. Snow abounds
everywhere and in many localities Viiszards are raging. In Ore
gon there is nothing but sunshine and sometimes a little fog,
but what is that to four feet of snow and a gale of wind blowing
at the rate of ninety miles an hour which is liberally seasoned
with particles of ice? The people of this state do not appreciate
all they have in the way of climate and it would do some of them
a great deal of good to "spend a winter or two in the Missouri
river valley, where they have real winter weather.
This New York doctor, who claims to be able by "hypnotic
suggestion," to send the souls of his patients to any old place
and get a full and correct description of what is going on there,
is in the wrong business ho should be a reporter.
Coroner's Inquest Completed
This Afternoon No Poi
son Found in Stomach
The coroner's Inquest over the
body of Jacob Mathews, who was
found dead Sunday in the cabin on
the Walker place between Eugene
and Springfield and who was thought
to have been murdered, was com
pleted this afternoon.' The Jury
failed to establish the cause of death.
They took the testimony of the phy
sicians who examined the, contents
of the stomach. The physicians re
ported that there was no trace of
poisoning. The jury returned the
following verdict:
"We, the Jury, say that deceased
was Jacob Mathews and his age was
53 years. After considering all the
evidence obtainable, we, the jury,
say that said Jacob Mathews died
from a cause to the jury unknown.
We find that nt! i.?db Mathews
died in Lane county, Oregon, on or
about the otli day of Deember, 1908.
