low an attempt by the city to build
the plant.
a CITIZENS OPINION.


A level-headed citizen summed
up the situation Yesterday, with
the following words of wisdom.
He said: "It is good time now
for all the people of Corvallis to
keep their shirts on. It is a good
time right now for them not to get
into wrangle over the question of
how this mountain water business
shall be done. The city has an
offer to build the plant. 1t is a
bonafde offer in that it has SUBJ
stantial interests back of it. It
may have features that are objec-
tionable. but these are not accept
ed and do not have to be accepted
by the city. The thing the offer
does is to open up negotiations
with a fighting possibility Of an a
greement that will put in the water
on terms advantageous to both. I
would prefer that the city make no
loan to-the bidder; but I doubt if
the city can find a bidder who will
undertake the enterprise without
assistance. Therefore, I can sub
NIT to loan proposition in which
the cityrs interests a1e properly
guarded. I do not want the city to
build the system itself; but if it
cannot be secured any other way,
1 will submit to that plan without
complaint. The whole thing is a
question of not what Bill and Jim,
Sam and I may want, but what we
can get. and get on the best terms.
In my opinion the final resort is
public ownership, but it should not
be undertaken until every other
resourse has been tried. My opin-
ion is that if the city>assists with a
loan, its in erests can be properly
safeguarded and a sufhciency of
bids be secured t, give the city
satisfactory terms and assurance of
a mountain water supply. all of
which would be the best thing that
has happened to the town since the
legislature permanently located the
agricultural college here"

the RURAL CARRIERS DUTIES.

The conferees Of the house and sem
ate Joined in a vef.y sensible conclusion
yesterday on the provision OF the postal
appropriations bill relating to carriers
privileges. The law, as 1t will be pass
ed, will give rural carriers an annual
salary of s720, allow them to carry
merchandise parcels to the patrons on
the routes upon request, but will pre-
vent them acting as agents for any
person, firm or corporations. The solic-
iting privilege of the carrier is abso-
lutely done away with. He is to be a
carrier and nothing else.
This is as it should be. No man can
properly conduct one business and at
tempt to carry on half dozen others.
The carriers right to act as solicito,
has been a drag on the rural delivery
service since its inauguration, and the
#conferees deserve the gratitude of all
recipients of rural delivery for their
sensible conclusion that 1t should be
stopped. The only losers by it's aboli
ton are the newspapers and outside
business houses The farmer has been
relieved of an actual annoyance and the
service will be greatly improved. Car
Tying parcels between his patrons and
the town merchants is properly part of
the carriers business and need not de-
lay delivery of the mail and the 1920
which the new law will add to the
carriers salary will compensate him
ten times over for the loss of his So
Letting privileges. The new law is
sensible and satisfactory.

The Future of the Bible.

Lcanon Hensley Henson. III The COM
temporary Review.]
1t is no doubt the case that the mass

most part. untroubled by what are Gait
ed critical questions They still listen
to The lessons read in church, with ac-
Guiescence. and even with interest, put
there are many signs that this Is
changing fast. Any clergyman VINO
takes the trouble to find out what ms
parishioners really think about the
narratives OF the Old Testament viii
make some surprising discoveries. IA
will find that. the more thoughtful ana
sensitive people are often seriously
troubled by what they hear that coars-
er minds are moved to contempt, great
iy to their own moral injury. 1t is
becoming clear that in the interest of
Christianity itself ecclesiastical usage
ought more faithfully to reflect the
actual opinion about the bible which
now obtains. A drastic revision OF the
dictionary would seem to be urgently
called for.
The very circumstance that SO many
of our people are prepared to acquiesce
in what they hear from the lectern.
and even to believe that in some way
or other what they hear is divinely
true, makes the present indiscriminate
reading of the Bible in public an eX-

knew young American girl who,
going to England under the care of an
ambassadors family and attending her
first large dinner party and looking
about her, selected as the guest in the
room who most interested her one man
of distinguished aspect, whom cue re-
solved to watch. When the guests
were ushered into the dining hal! ac-
found herself at the very end Of the

delightful companion that she ever
had at a dinner party and, moreover,

itary rank that would last lifetime.
Rogers poems are not now read SO
much as formerly, but at that time the
highest literary honor a man could
have was to dine with Rogers. He was
also one of the richest bankers in Lon

4 SEWAGE DISPOSAL IDEA.

II an alarming dispatch from the
capital OF Hungary is to be credited
with truth, that government has con-
cluded a ten year contract with q
prominent transatlantic steamship
company for the transportation Of more
than half million immigrants from
Hungary to the United States. The
magnitude of the alleged contract lends
suspicious color to the dispatch. but
It should be Investigated as to its
truth and IL correct the scheme 20
dump $1,000 individuals SO utterly
worthless that their native government
IL willing to pay price for their ex-
patriation, should be nipped in the bud.
This country has more Huns. Poland
should have admitted. With all due
regard to the respectable immigrant
who has aided in the development Of
the country and for whom the United
States still has a welcome, 1t is time
that United States ports of entry ceas-
ed to be scavengers' dumps for the
south and east of Europe. There is
crying need of a policy of exclusion to
include others than Chinese. If Hun
gary has contracted to pour the sew
age of her population into this country
at the rate alleged by the Buda Pesth
dispatch. this government should act
promptly and unequivocally to the alb
rogation Of the contract in its own
protection.

to those of the nations it warns away.
The secret and strength of American
defense lies in our navy. No foreign
nation would dream of a land campaign
in America. If we are ever called upon
to resist aggression, We must meet it
on the sea in defense of our great
sea ports.
The making of our navy is not a
sign of war, but of peace. 1t is axiom
attic that the best way to prevent war
is to be prepared for its contingency.
1t is as sensible for the United States
to build and maintain a powerful navy
as for a farmer to build line fence.

Stories About Tim Campbell.

Tim" Campbell is no more. In his
native heath Tim ruled a subdistrict
in Tammany's bailiwick. In the height
of his prosperity and glory, he held
down seat in congress. He was the
impersonification Of rough tact. While
he was justice of the civil court In
New York City. two friends of his came
into violent litigious collision. Said
Mr. Campbell when they appeared be-
fore him:
Now, what do the likes OF you
mean by this? I'm horror struck
You ought to know better than to ask
Inc to decide between you. 1 demand
of you two that you settle this case
out Of court" They did.
In 1885 Campbell was elected a con-
s.ressman to succeed Sunset Cox, who
had been appointed minister to Tur-
key. Mr.. Campbell was three times
elected to congress. 1t was told that he
once had Dispute with the late Thorn
IS B. Reed, as follows:
What" asked Mr.. Campbell of Mr..
Reed, do you think OF the action of
this man Cleveland against Venezu-
ella ?'
AS an Inishman,'' said Mr. Reed, II
am more than satisfied. But what do
you think of this man Benjamin Harri-
son.
Mr.. Harrison had just then taken a
prominent part against the Chinese
exclusion bill.
"As a Chanyman,' said Mr.. Campbell
calmly, Il rej'ice."
The famous story about Tim
Campbell in which he abrogated the
constitution, dates back to the time
when he was in congress. 1t was said
taat he asked Mr.. Cleveland, who was
taen president, to make certain APP
pointment.
But it would be unconstitutional,
said Mr. Cleveland.
"Ah! Mr.. President" expostulatea
the congressman, what is the consti-
ltion betwane friends? 2"
Mr. Campbell denied this story to
the day of his death.
Il have been guilty of a million
crimes" he was wont to say but
never did I cast contumelious scorn
upon the constitution, of the United
States
