evening. The crowd first met at the

bout an hour, then went to the home of
NJ iss Kathrine, and from there went with

of acquiring them should be
avoided. Slang using compan-
ions, slangy books and every
thing using such speech or sug-
gest;ng such thought.
The use of slang is largely i'm
moral and cowardly. Obscene
filthy and lewd things are sug-
gested by its use-studiously sug-
gested by evil designing persons
who would not dare to use plain
simple speech. The girl or
waman who tolerates the use of
slang in her presence has her
self most to blame if she is en-
barrassed, humiliated and insult
ed by some cowardly use of such
speech. When she goes along
the street with the stride of
grenadier and the swagger of a
Texas cowboy, herself using
slang she is inviting humiliation
and insult and should not COM
plain if she receive both.
We would suggest that parents
Danish from their homes all use
of slang, and everything sug-
gestive of it. They will cease
speaking of their children as
''kids," and the children will re-
spectfully describe their parents
as father and mother rather than
as ''the governor and his pal" ="
When this is done and the
habit of simple, pure speech is
formed the work of imparting
good manners will be made easier
and should be prosecuted most
earnestly for it is a reform long
over due.

RIGHTS OF THE MINORITY.

Certain constitutional amend
ments have been prepared and
circulated throughout the state
by gentlemen who are seeking
to form some sort of a specious-
ly named organization. One of
these proposed measures is to
provide proportional representa-
tion of all the voters-or more
clearly of all the parties in the
state. For instance our state
representatives now number 60.
If the republican party embraces
one half the voters it would be
entitled to elect cne hale of the
60or 30 members. The democrats
and the prohibitionists might
each number one fourth of the
voters and would each be entitl-
ed to elect Is members. The
house would then be composed
Of 80 republicans, Is democrats
and Is prohibitionists.
Should such an amendment be
adopted it would reqire a long,
intricate and cumbersome cleo
tion law to carry it into effect,
1t would work a revolution in our
manner Of electing public officers
also in our methods of legisla-
tion. All this would be merely
tentative-experimental. Those
who plan these changes assure
us that in Denmark, Japan and
Tasmania this system has secur-
ed fairly equal representation of
all political parties, while in
Belgium and Switzerland the
principal parties have just repre-,
sentation but the smaller and
independent parties are not sat-
isfed. They neglect to tell us
that none of these governments
are representative democracies

SLANG.


The prevalent use Of slang
by Americans has been made
the butt of jest and ridicule by
Europeans, and has caused the
cheeks of many of our own people
to be mantled with the blush of
shame.
Slang is low and exceedingly
vulgar and is justly regarded by
thoughtful, observant people as
sure indication of the low vul-
gar thought and mind of the per-
son using it. This may seem to
be an unwarranted conclusion
for it is observed that many
people who pass as persons of
education, culture and some re-
fnement frequently fall into the
habitual use of slang. tits strong
ly suspected, however, that the
education of. such a person is
very defective and his culture
and refinement mere veneers
which cover an essentially coarse,
vulgar mind.
1t may be admitted that lnany
slang phrases appear to be more
concise and expressive than pure
speech. It is a false, deceptive
appearance. For the most apt
and expressive slang use the
simplest, purest English you can
command and note Indifference.
1t will then be seen that slang is
not so finely and surely express
sive as pure speech.
Slang is Objectionable because
it is utterly incompatible with
the acquisition and practice of
good, gentle manners. Since
such manners are valuable at
tainment everything in the way
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1907-11-08

to desirable government. The
simpler and fewer these can be
made the more salutary and easy
of application they will he.
Oregon's constitution is most
excellent. and commends it's
self to our people in the forms
originally given to it. If any
thing our laws need simplifca-
ton, and it is improbable our
people will be persuaded to make
foolish changes.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1907-11-08

as We understand that form of
government, and that in none of
them is he elective franchise so
unrestricted as with US.
The rights Of the minority are
not denied it and are not ignored
by the majority party with US
save in merely party policies and
not always so as to these. The
minority is accorded a full hear
ing on every question and not
infrequently proposes legislation
which is favorably received and
acted upon by the majority.
Even when a minority of voters
is without representation in the
legislature it may resort to the
right Of petition, and no
such petition when well
grounded is refused conslderate
hearing. Most surely there is
no government existing where
the rights of the minority are
more fully and freely accorded
than by US.
The majority governs and by
right should. 1t is justly held
responsible for legislation. A
majority party enacting vicious
legislation, Or trampling on the
rights of the minority would soon
discover itself to be the party Of
the minority. The native love
for justice and fair play is too
markedly a characteristic Of the
American people to permit of
any kind of wrong to the minor
ity.
It is altogether probable our
method of selecting public officers
and conducting legislation are
not perfect and all that is to be
desired, but it is not apparent
how we shall perfect them by
borrowing the methods of gov
ernments wholly unlike ours in
form and purpose.
Some devices similar to these
have long been used by monarchs
to befool their subjects. Intelli-
gent freeman have no need to
resort to subterfuge to deceive
their fellows.
Constitutional governments
such as ours are the most beneh-
cent ever devised by men; right
eous and just laws are necessary

nti.Gambline Bill Passed.

Thursday afternoon the Hunt bill, which had for it's object the repeal of paragraph 2S6S, providing for the li- censing of gambling, was passed by the house without a dissenting vote and went to the governor for his sig nature. The bill was immediately signed by Gov. Kibbey, who thanked the members of the legislature for sending this first bill to him so prompt ly. The bill provides that it is unlaw- full to conduct any gambling game such as monte, faro, pass faro, rondeau roulette, twenty-two, keno, dice, red and black, lansquinette, tan, stud poker, or any other banking or per- centage game, or any game played for money, checks, credit, or any oth- CT representative of value, of what ever name. And provides penalty of fine of from one hundred to three hun dred dollars, or Imprisonment in the county jail for period of six months, or both such fine and Imprisonment. It would appear from this that no game whatever can be maintained under this bill. From the reading of the bill, as published in the Phenix papers, it would appear that the bill simply struck at the licensed game, which heretofore included only the percent age and banking games, but careful reading of the law licensing gambling conveys the impression that gambling in every form carries license penalty. The bill goes into effect on the first day of April.
