right or wrong. 1t is proof that we
are not standing still. Even though
we be moving in the wrong direction,
we have evinced energy, reflection and
comparison enough to take a wrong
view; and these very qualities may, by
better direction, lead us from the
wrong to the right. The greatest
obstacle to this advance we shall find
in our own completeness, for as sure
as we take false step we are apt to
attribute it to temporary error of
Judgment, or to some slight miscalcu-
lation, because it is more flattering to
accuse ourselves of an error of judg-
ment, or a slight miscalculation, than
to admit constant incapacity. Forall
that, mistakes, as a general rule, simply
mark time when character was tried,
and found wanting. They are not
isolated, independent testimonies they
are the growth and results of inherent
faults, reaching a point, when they
were strong enough to declare them.
selves. So it is best to face the true
state of the case, which is that the
natural weakness or carelessncss of our
nature would have been certain to have
brought about that particular misfor-
tune, sooner or later in our career.
Recognizing this tendency it is new
ertheless certain that Che universal dis
position in any trouble is to find some
one equally or even more to blame
than ourselves. Yet TO what purpose
shall we inculpate others? An impair

the unpleasant truth that no one is

STOP ILLEGAL VOTING.

Lee Nealley, the last of the five arrest
ed fer illegal voting at the recent city
election, was bound over Thursday to
await the action of the grand jury. 1t is
of the utmost Importance to the people
that these men, if guilty, be properly
punished. The fact that this thing has
been allowed to go ON for years without
even an attempt being made to punish
the offenders, is no excuse for the present
culprits, whose friends are trying to work
up public sympathy in their behalf in
order that the grand jury might be pre-
vailed upon not to indict them. Some
otherwise good and responsible citizens,
who have personal interests In this mat
ter, are saying that these cases should
not be prosecuted on account of the
expense to the county; that this Is a
matter that concerns only the people of
Corvallis, and that the taxpayers outside
of the city should not be compelled to
assist in paying the costs of the trials.
But the people of the county outside the
town are as much interested, If not more
than the people of Corvallis, in the sup
preston of illegal voting. It is a noto-
rious fact that great many illegal votes
are cast in this city at every election !;
and that very little illegal voting is done
elsewhere in the county. The farmers
might well feel agrieved that their votes
are offset by lot of hired sca1awags who
do not belong to the county and have no
interest in its affairs. As one citizen
remarked the other day, "The right OF
suffrage is about the only right have as
an American citizen, and don't care to
have it annulled by imported hirelings." f"
This illegal voting should be stopped,
and the time to stop 1t is now. Men can
afford to work for the county at smaller
salaries if their campaign expenses do
not cut such heavy figure, and there
will be smaller reason to spend money
If bribery and illegal voting are summari-
1y dealt with. It is shame to hear respon.
sible citizens make such remarks as "The
grand jury won't indict," "It don't
amount to anything, anyway" "They

deal of money" ''Let them all co.
Yet such remraks have been heard quite
frequently on the streets, but generally
emanate from friends of the accused
The great majority of people believe that
the men should be brought to trial, and
If proven guilty, be dealt with according
to law. Should the grand jury fail to
act upon these cases the next election
will be a farce. There will be total
disregard of the election laws, and tie
election will 60 to the shrewdest manip.
ulator of illegal votes. All this will cost
money and the people will eventually
pay the bill.
