SENATOR GEORGE GRAHAM VEST OF MIS-
SOURI,.
when you tell them you saw me in
battle, you can add, If you want to,
that If keep my health and have an
ordinary run of luck no living man
will ever see me in another"
Vest, like all men of imagination, is
man of moods. There are times when
he is absorbed in thought, and then he
is taciturn. 1t is related that one day
the late William H. Hatch, who en-
tered the house the day Vest entered
the senate, went over to consult the
senator and found him In q fit of ab-
straction, moody and taciturn. Hatch
had about as much Imagination as a
broomstick.
Hatch got no satisfaction from Vest
and so went tearing back to the house,
scattering expletives on the way. Some
Missouri people got hold of him and
told him that Vest would be all right
next day and to go and see him when
he was In the vein. Hatch did so and
came back delighted. There was dis
cussion as to the occasion of Vests
moods, and one Of the party said 1t
was his imagination.
Imagination be hanged!' roared
Hatch. ITS his liver. That's all the
matter with him. Let him send for
some good Kentucky bourbon whisky
and he'll be all right"
OF those whom Vest found in the
senate when he entered 1t in 1879 only
Hoar, Allison, Jones Of Nevada, Cock.
rell and Morgan remain. Cockrell and
Allison will die in harness. and one or
the other of them will have the record
for length of service in the United
States senate and record that may
hold for century. In this computa-
ton, however, Jones of Nevada may
also he included.
Senator Vest is native of Kentucky,
but has lived in Sweet Springs, Mo-,
Since 1858. His retirement from the
senate is because of his own decree.
He will leave vacancy that will be
hard to fill and will be missed by his
confreres, with whom he Is very popu.

Mr. Chamberlain's action In declar-
ing that the Kaffir chiefs who fought
on our side against the Beers shall re
,eive medals marks the end Of a long
hypocrisy, says the London Speaker,
Up till the close of the war the gov
rrnment strenuously denied that any
natives had fought for us at all. II
they did not fight, why reward their
bravery? If, on the other hand, they
were noncombatants. TO bestOw medals
at all is TO abuse coveted distinction.
But IL they Were combatants then Mr..
chamberlain conyicts his government
Of deliberate and complicated lie. II
Is of course matter of history that
The natives did fight on our side and
further. that their employment was one
of the two main causes that induced
the Beers to surrender.

VALUE OF CORN WHEAT"

New Cereal Found to he nm Excel
lent Substitute For Corn.
Hog raising In eastern Washington
has been given an impetus by the sue
cessful raising of new grain known
as corn wheat, says Tacoma special
to the New York Times. Experiments
conducted during the past two years
Indicate that an excellent substitute
for corn has been obtained.
Heretofore one of the drawbacks Of
the farmers in raising hogs in the Pa
cific northwest has been the fact that
corn could not be successfully raised
A grain of corn wheat Is as large as
two grains of wheat. 1t yields 60 to 100
bushels per acre and has a decided
corn flavor.

TIE CONTEST.

It is fortunate that so far the
senatorial contest at Salem has
not irnpeded legislation. That
it will not be permitted to do SO
we may now easily believe.
Neither is there any indication
that legislation has been infu-
enced by the senatorial question.
It is true that it has been sug-
gested that the supporters of Mr..
Fulton should hold up certain
legislation in which Multnomah
county is deeply or wholly inter-
asted until Multnomah's dele
gatien came to his support. It
does not appear that this sug-
gestion came from any of Mr..
Fulton's friends, nor is there the
slightest suspicion that it eman-
ated from him.
Another eommendable feature
of the contest is that it is remark
ably devoid of any show of mere
partisan or factional differences.
There has been no elimination
and recrimination indulged in
and no bad blood stirred and i'll
feeling engendered. It is alto
gether probable that some great
er heat may yet be displayed,
but there will be no bitter fac
tioaal quarrel.
There are those who profess to
fear hold-up, and no election
made. Such fears are ground
less. It may be, indeed, that
neither Mr.. Fulton nor Mr.. Geer
shall be elected, but there will be
a choice made and a republican,
acceptable we hope, to the party
and to the state, will be chosen.
Any other result is simply un-
thinkab1e.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1903-02-13

There is no change in the sen,
atorial contest in the Oregon leg
islature. The hope of the oppo-
sition to Mr.. Fulton is that it
may be able to wear out and dis
courage his supporters. There is
no evidence as yet that this will
be accomplished. Mr.. Fulton's
real opponent has not yet been
voted for, and his name will not
be sprung until there is every as
surance of his election. Mean
time, the opposition to Mr.. Full
ton cares little for whom its bal
lots are cast. People generally
will be we'll satisfied with the
election of Mr.. Fulton. Will
they be as well pleased with this
'smarked card' that Mr. Bourne
has up his sleeve?

Side passenger service, has at
sracted the attention and receiv-
ed the endorsement of CONNER
eial bodies and newspapers in
cities affected by the proposed
Improvement in this service.
The GAZETTE is in receipt of
letters from boards of trade and
improvement societies of wide-
awake West Side towns, stating
that their organizations have
taken the matter up and appoint.
ed committees TO secure petitions
to file with the Southern Pacific
company, asking for the propos-
ed Improvement.
The Benton County Citizens
League should give this matter
immediate attention, tor what.
ever effort is made should be
united. The Southern Pacific
officials have shown an earnest
desire to make every reasonable
Improvement asked for by the
public, and we believe that all
that is necessary in the present
instance is to convince them that
the proposed change of schedule
will be of practical benefit.
