The Presidents Courtesy.

Wherever there is a monarch
ial form of government there is {
vast gulf between the head OF
ruler of the empire and the sub
jects. Nor is there any connect
ing link between the subject and
his sovereign. Vastly different
is it in this country, as the fol-
lowing incident will show
When President Roosevelt and
his party passed through Albany
on their recent tour of the West,
many Corvallisites went over to
see the party. Among others
were Mr.. apd Mrs, August
Fischer, and they succeeded In
passing a most beautiful boquet
to the president. Attached to
the floral tribute was their card.
The presidential train rolled away
and Mr.. and Mrs, Fischer thought
no more of the matter.
Last Friday a letter addressed
to the last mentioned parties ar
rived in this city. It was found
to be a neatly worded acknowl-
edgment in behalf of the presi-
dent for the receipt of boquet.
1t was typewriter ON White
House stationery and bore the
pen-and-ink signature of Secre-
tary Loeb, private secretary Of
President Roosevelt. The whole
was enclosed in a plain white en-
velope Of fine quality, and on
the upper left-hand corner, in
raised letters of Gothic type,
printed in bronze blue, were the
words 'White House."
To many people this little in
cident would have no significance,
but it betokens at least two
things. In the first place it
shows that great care is taken to
keep account of the many cour-
tesies extended to the chief ex-
ecutive of this great republic and
the pains taken to fttingly OBJ
serve them. From the fact that
a record is kept of all these acts
of good will on the part of the
citizens, it is plain that they ap-
peal to the president and are
cherished by him-moreover,
that he is what he claims to be,
the peoples president. In the
second place it renders obvious
the fact that the people OF this
great land are not far removed
from those to whose ability, hon
esty and integrity are entrusted
the reins of government.

Broke Even.

The faculty and seniors broke
even in their two championship
contests on Agricultural field last
Saturday afternoon The weather
was a trife cold and no records
were broken in the track meet,
which the faculty lost by score
of A to 4o, but the SHINING
baseball game was a hair-raiser.
The faculty took this contest
with score of s to 7 in their
favor, and they had an inning up
their sleeves. .
The 800 spectators, who sat in
the grand stand, were kept in
breathless suspense during the
exciting events On track and
field. The result was in doubt
until the last moment and the
strain upon the nerves of the
spectators was something terrible.
Many surprises crept in during
the afternoon; Professor Knisely
stunt in the pole vault being the
feature of the contest. The fac
ulty lay their defeat to the alb
sence of Professor Phillips. Sec
ond place in the shot put would
have won the meet for them, and
Phillips was backed heavily for
these three points, but
Those who took places in the
various events were too modest to
claim credit, and only aspartial
list of the point winners could
be learned. Here they are:

viii Close at Six.
night before

At intervals during the past few
years efforts have been made tc
induce the various merchants and
dealers IF this city to close their
places of business at an earlier
hour than they were in the habit
of doing 1t proved a difficult
task to induce all to agree to this
proposition, and all past efforts
failed. However. quite recently
the matter was again taken up
and met with the desired result
the approval of all. ..
Saturday afternoon an agree
ment was reached by the bust
ness men of this city, whereby
they are to close their respective
places at 6 O'Clock every evening,
Saturday excepted. This act on
the part of the business men
went into effect last evening. 1t
is understood that those doing
business in Philomath will, if
they have not already, act in har-
mony with their fellow merchants
in this city. This appears to be
a wise move on the part of these
gentlemen, as it will give them
and their employees an opportun-
ity for little rest and recreation,
and they will transact the same
amount of business and enjoy
the same patronage, although
the business will. be confined to
fewer. hours. Nor will it greatly
interfere with patrons; in fact, it
should not inconvenience them
at all when it is generally
understood at what hour trading
must cease. In this matter our
business men are bat following
in the footsteps of the merchants
of other cities. Following is the
agreement reached and the sig
natures of those who signed it:
CORVALLIS, Or,
.-. June II, 1903.
We the undersigned merchants
of the city of Corvallis agree to
close our place of business COM

Nearly Seven Thousand Tickets Wer'
Sold During Carnival Week
Receipts Were $4,000
Corvallis is getting back to nor.
NAL again. Last week was one
of excitement and tu1nult. With
the carnival and side attractions
and. preparations for commence
ment at the College the average
citizen has been going on hall
allowance of sleep and food.
But the Hindu and the Turk, the
clown and the street fakirs have
folded their tents and silently
slipped away, Where stood the
merry-so.round, the japanese
theatre aud .f1s Streets of Cairo,
there il now but wreckaee and
confetti. Flags and bunting still
envelope business houses and
public buildings, aud pretty win
dow decorations still attest the
enterprise of our merchants.
But the period of relaxation is
upon us, and each one is taking
a mental inventory of his or her
share Of the profit and pleasure.
The W'n~t1 G., of the World,
to whom Corvallis is indebted
for her first carnival, know only
approximately what their part q
the net receipts will be. The
total amount of revenue taken in
was 81, 600. Of this sum the
Woodmen get ten per cent. The
threatening weather kept many
at home and the attendance was
not what was expected. We'd
nesday, 1906 persons passed into
the main entrance; Thursday,
1899 were admitted; Friday was
the record maker with zoos tick
cts sold, and Saturday, 1852 per-
SONS witnessed the show.
The feature Thursday night
was the prize drill between
Woodmen teams from Monmouth
and Corvallis. The judges, Cap
tain Hardin and Captains Beattie
and johnson, of the cadet battal-
ion, awarded the prize to the Wis
lt1ng team.
A great crowd gathered to wit
ness the balloon ascension and
parachute jump at II o'clock
Friday morning. The weather
was ideal for the event. There
was scarcely a breath of wind
and the sky was clear. When
released, the ball rose rapidly to
an elevation Of 5000 feet, taking
a slight easterly direction. When
the parachute was cut loose it
opened Immediately and descend
ed easily, landing Aeronaut Mil
ler safely in G. Hodes' garden
patch, The balloo1 fell OH Main
street little further south.
Fourteen babies were entered
for the baby show Friday after
noon, and the audience was COM
posed principally of women.
The judges awarded first prize to
the infant daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. E. Trask. Mr., and Mrs.
Elmer Bethers' baby boy was
awarded second prize.
TIE public wedding was an
nounced as the attraction for Sat
urday night, but there was a hitch
somewhere and no knots were
tied. The crowd amused itself
riding on Holy Moses and throw
ing confetti into the eyes and
mouths of the unwary.

Rev. Joseph Emery arrived from
Eugene, last Saturday, to visit with
his SOD, William, and attend com
mencement exercises at the College.
Mr.. Emery was a member of the
faculty of the Oregon Agricultural
College from 1858 to 1885. This
is his first visit to the institution
since it began the development
which has made it the leading edu-
cational institution in this state.
After leaving Corvallis, Rev. Emery
served two terms as agent at the
Klamath Indian Reservation. Mr..
and Mrs. Emery will return to
Eugene the latter part of this week
tor a months visit with their daugh.
ter, Mrs. Lake, and will then pro-
ceed to their home in California.
The College campus was thronged
with spectators, yesterday after
noon, to witness the exhibition drill
by the cadet battalion. This was
followed by the competitive drill by
the non- commissioned officers. The
prize, a gold medal, was awarded to
NJ. w. Bartmess. A similar CON
test between privates was won by
Cadet Root, who was also awarded
a gold medal. The exercises con
cluded with the presentation of a
gold watch TO Major Edwards from
the officers of the battalion. The
cadets were drawn up in line on the
campus and Professor Berchtold
stepped forward and in neat
speech presented the watch to Ma
jor Edwards. The latter was tax
en- completely by surprise, and was
so overcome with emotion that he
cou'd scarcely e'x ,rsss 'ais arpref-i

1t is a strange thing how people will

them. Backache is a little thing some
times it comes after a hard days work
or a slight cold. 1t will poss off you
say; 1t is only the result of overtaxing
my back; it isn't the fault Of your back
but your kidneys. The exertion or
straining has interfered with their del
icate mechanicism. You call It back
ache, but it really is kidneyache. II
the kidneys are not relieved chronic dis

PURITY AND EXPANSION.

II the parasans and the yellow re-
portars 1t st. Louis expected mess Of
political doctrines, baby talk and other
expressions which would admit of SEN
sational distortion in the speech Of
President Roosevelt at the dedication
of the Louisiana Purchase exposition
yesterday they were disappointed. The
speech not sensational, but it con-
tains much of sincere counsel and ad-
monition as well as being historically
OF absorbing interest. Only in the mat
ter Of expansion does the president
deal with a subject which might arouse
contradictory criticism among the an
tis.
Expansion, however. is so obviously
linked with the Louisiana purchase
idea that the subject could not have
been avoided, and. since the celebration
of the centennial of that event implies
the profoundest approval on the part
of the natien, he could not have done
otherwise than 10 give it deserving
prominence, which he accomplished in
a mastery manner though with con-
servatism and as a preface to a pero-
ration exhorting TO civic and personal
virtue rather than as national goal.
Millions of people will heartily appre-
ciate these words of Mr.. Roosevelt:
s:ssEcha work of expansion was by far
the greatest work of our people during
the years that interviewed between the
adoption of the constitution and the
outbreak OF the Civil war. There We're
other questions of real manifest import
ance, and there were many which at
the time seemed such to those engaged
in answering them; but the greatest
feat of our forefathers of those gen.
erations was the deed of the Iaen, who,
with pack train, or wagon train, on
horseback, on foot, or by boat Upon
the waters, pushed the frontier ever
westward across the continent"
While the speaker avoided any refer
ence to our foreign acquisitions, ii is
easy and permissible to draw the in
ference that the present day reaching
out for that which is necessary and
useful to us as world power is equal
Iy as justifiable as were the acts of our
forefathers. who pushed the borders OF
our nation as far as it was possible
for them TO reach.
But, obvious as is the flgnt OIL eA-
pansion when IL is both expedient and
Just, it is, like all other problems of
public and private life subservient 10
the development Of the high and noble
in civil and individual life. If the pres
dent lauds the strenuous endeavors
which have built and preserved our ma
ticn, he not the less pleads for the OBJ
seryance of those principles and the en-
couragement Of those virtues which de-
velop the intellect and the soul and
make for peace harmony and good Will.
This will appease those who have seen
in his recent utterances what they
thought an undue tendency 10 enlarge
