The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1897-02-05

THE governor of Oregon, who
pays his political debts with ju-
dicial and educational appoint
ments, is daily closeted with
Jonathan Bourne and Joe ST.
mon, conniving against the well
fare, of the state. These two sa-
gacious Portland political bosses
openly boast of having the gov
ernor in a position where they
can control his every executive
act, and there is plenty of evi-
dence for believing that they
state the truth with regard to
their ownership of the governor.

THE Agricultural College is
finely endowed, splendidly equip
ped and has an efficient corps OF
instructors. An incompetent
head retards the growth rather
than impairs the efficiency of the
institution.

A WORD TO THE WISE.

Those citizens of Corvallis
who have criticised the local pa
pers for conde1nning the appoint
mert and management of H. B.
Miller, as president of the Ag-
ricultural College, are beginning
to. realize that there is really
something wrong, and that the
right way to remedy the trouble
is to expose it.
The citizen who takes a prop
er pride and interest in the in
stitution is not he who regards
it simply as a source of revenue
to the town. They who do not
wish the truth to be told for fear
some inoney-spending students
will be kept away, are not
mindful of the welfare of the
college, as they profess, but of
their own pocket books. And
even then they are short sighted.
Earnest protests against the
selection of Mr.. Miller were
made before his appointment by
the board. These protests came
from every part of the state.
They were not prompted by per-
sonal or political enrnity. 1t
was manifest to all that political
consideration alone dictated the
action of the board. The pro
test was against making our
state institution of learning an
asylum for superannuated poll
ticians.
When President Miller as
sumed charge, at the beginning
of the school year, the papers
ceased their criticisms and he
was given every opportunity tor
making his administration sue
cess. Time proved, however,
that his experience in practical
politics con1d not compensate fo,
his total lack of training in the
arts of instructing and govern
ing. Familiarity with railroad
work was of no help to the new
director of the experiment sta.
ton. In short, his management
was a sorry failure, and the Cor
wallis newspapers, as honest pub
lie journals, said as much. This
course naturally aroused some
antagonism and the GAZETTE
had the honor to incur the spe.
cial displeasure of President
Miller and his friends, and the
criticism of several apprehensive
citizens. A boycott against thi:
paper was attempted and severa
means were tried to cause it te
forego its comments. These ef
forts to frighten the managers o
the paper invite a brief declara
ton.
The GAZETTE is business en-
terprise-not a charity institu
t1On. It's managers expect Z
give value for every dollar re
ceived, and rely wholly upon the
merits of the paper, not upor
sympathy or pity, for support
They have adopted policy
which will be continued ane
they certainly have no idea O
changing that policy for the SAKE
of few subscriptions.
Public duty is the watchware
of this paper and certainly the
duty to the state demands tha
grave faults in connection will
one of its leading educational in
stitutions be exposed, not GOV
cred up.
