CORVALLIS, OR, SEFT. 2, v9o5.
THE SEQUEL.

The peace treaty has not been
signed but its terms have been ar
ranged by the ENJOYS. The arb1t-
rament Of arms has made japan
dominant in Corea, mistress OF Port
Arthur and the Lao Tung, arblter
of Manchuria, owner of half OF Sa-
khalin. destroyer of two fleets, ter
rible in war and a power OF the hrst
magnitude. 1t has made her an
influence to be reckoned with IN all
future designs by robber patlons IN
the Orient, and given her citizen
ship and national character, a repute
equalled in few nations. 1t has
made her masterful in statesman
ship, generous in triumph and as
high-ninded as the 1oftiest in peace
Equally striking in the sequel is
the conspicuous distinction that
comes to our own country for the
notable part we have borne IN
achieving of peace. No statesman
ship at any time has surpassed the
distinguished service rendered the
combatants by President Roosevelt,
both in the institution of the con-
ference and in its terrible struggle
for peace. The very success that
attended the effort is the best testi-
monial to the standing and influence
of our own country and its chief
citizen among the nations and po-
tentates of earth.

Hooligan, was the straightforward
and apparently truthful testimony
of Jack Milne, the Steward" of
the establishment. His words
seemed sincere, and his manner was
frank. There was apparently
nothing on his part to hide. Pro-
found silence reigned in the court
room while he answered the oues-
tions the prosecutor asked.
He said he was steward of the
place, and that as such he tends
the bar and keeps the accounts.
He declared that he is not a mem
Der of the club, and that his only
interest is his salary. He explained
various of the workings of the She
bang, announced the name of the
president and in all told story that
in its frankness at least, was to his
! credit.
During the trial, the attorneys
for the defense. occupied much of
the time. In his closing statement,
Mr.. Bryson quoted no law, and
thereupon P. A. Kline closed a
burst of oratory with his favorite
motion, '1 move to squash this af-
fdavit and clear it off the board"
Once when the court, in a desire
for information, asked the witness
a question, Mr.. Kline was on his
feet in a minute, saying: Homer
able court: Let the district attor-
ney prosecute this case. We can't
defend it with both the prosecuting
attorney and judge acting as prose
cutors." After the court announ-
ced the verdict, Mike Kline said
that the court could put the fine
to the top notch if it desired. that
it was the purpose to appeal. Both
men were sentenced to pay fine Of
$500. During the trial, Mike Kline
said to Deputy District Attorney
Bryson: "You have not acted the
man because you had the place
pulled while was out of town."

and some of its membership. 1t is
sham that will fool neither the
law nor the courts, and which ul-
timately will bring its principals if
not some of its auxiliaries, into un.
happy consequences. Such is as
certain as fate to be the sequel to
club enterprise, Of which the $500
fine for Hooligan and Kline is the
beginning. 1t is a second and COM
plete reason for the abandonment
of the enterprise.

when Ben Woldt was the proprietor
in ante-local option days. Booze
in cases, 10 barrels and other re-
ceptacles was there in abundance.
The shelves back of the bar had
bottles in profusion. and about the
counter there were all the applian-
ces usual to a regulation saloon.
The establishment and its operation
was manifestly as square defiance
of the authority OF law and the
majesty of the courts as it is pos
sible to have been evolved.
Hooligan and Milne were at once
taken into custody by the officers.
The same complaint charged Mike
Kline with violation of the local
option law, but he was in Albany
at the time ofthe raid. During the
progress of the trial that subse-
quently took place. Mines name on
the motion of the prosecuting attor-
ney, was stricken from the COM
plant. and the charge against him
DISMISSED.

TWO REASONS.

There are two important reasons
why the two or three individuals
who instituted and are conducting
a soca1led club in Corvallis should
abandon that enterprise. The tes-
timony of witnesses and the admis-
sions of the principals in the late
trial of its officers, show the club to
BE- a saloon, nothing more, nothing
less, sailing under a government
license, but paying no revenue to
the city.
It was voted in the election last
November by the emphatic major
i'v of 166 that no saloon should be
conducted in Corvallis. The only
way that order can be maintained
and society be protected, is for the
majority to rule, and for the minor
ity to submit. Persistent attempt
by minority to set at naught the
wishes of a strong majority often
has the worst kind of a sequel, to-
wit:-trouble, decentralization and
the bitterest feuds. In obedience
to the declared will of Corvallis
voters the four saloon keepers of
Corvallis, when the local option
law went into effect last January.
Immediately withdrew from the sale
of intoxicants, and, like other good
citizens, set about to uphold and
respect the law. Here, however,
comes sHooligan, an irresponsible
but ordinarily harmless person, and
Mike Kline, but a few months a
resident of Corvallis, and set up
saloon, where liquors are dispensed,
and where all the business of an or
dinary saloon is transacted. In
spite of law, in spite of the known
duty of every citizen to obey law,
this saloon is daily conducted and
maintained, liquors are regularlyand
freely dispensed and the majesty of
the law, aud the ballot decree of a
heavy majority of citizens. set at
absolute defiance. This is one reason
why the enterprise should be aband
oned.
There is another reason. The
two persons who conduct this sa
loon have been sentenced in the
courts to pay fine of $500 each
Trusting in the assurance of firm
of unknown lawyers, these persons
are depending upon subterfuge
deceit and sham to be able to rur
a saloon in Corvallis, when the sale
of liquor is prohibited by law. The
very fact that these lawyers advise
clients to embark on an enterprise
of fa1sehood and fraud is in itsel
proof that they are not lawyers o
high character and that their coun-
sci is in all human probability TN
trustworthy. Law is based on com
mon sense and the courts are no
idiotic. The sham on which the
Corvallis saloon is conducted is sc
him that it deceives nobody save
perhaps the officers who conduct il
