CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

It is gratifying to know that
the republican candidates have,
so far as known, made a clean
campaign, not accusing their
neighbors on ungenteel grounds.
A positive agreement was made
with leaders of the other side
that none of the piratical practi-
ces commonly forced upon the
people for the last thirty years
should he resorted to. Old ideas,
however, were too strong. Anon
ymous letters from "Alsea"
and from other sources must
stand as excuses for resorting to
the old methods.
Because the republican candi-
dates have proved themselves
noble, clean men, and have re-
quired their enthusiastic admir-
ers to resort only to clean methods
and the wellknown good qualif-
cations of the candidates it is
confidently expected that the re-
publican candidates will be elect
ed. While there are good men on
the democratic ticket, some of
them, at least, have been unfor-
tunate in not being able to re-
quire their special advocates to
wage clean, genteel campaign.
The time is coming when Ben
ton county will weed out and
bury to everlasting oblivion the
dirt and deadly contamination
which has started forth ghost
like, for the last thirty years at
every biennial election. 1t is con-
fidently expected that this is the
time and that the result of the
election on the first of June will
complete the job and the people
by their votes will forever bury
the monstrous practice of malign-
ing men when running for office.

do some work on the tax roll
when his wife was lying at the
point of death, and when his
mind was overcome by these
troubles he made some mistakes
in his work, as every county
officer had made mistakes before
him. To accuse him alone of
mistakes, and not others, is GER
tainly an improper method of
conducting the campaign.
The students. who are invited
to come here from all over the
State, after their time in college
is completed will go out into the
world where many of them will
take their part in political cam
paigns. The example set before
them by the people of Benton
county should be to instruct them
and elevate their minds.
The effective way is to vote
against such degrading campaign
methods by voting for the candi-
date attack ed.
Mr.. Vincent has been severely
attacked because of errors ma 1e
when his wife was sick and al
most dying, and when every nice
citizen should have come forward
to relieve him instead of making
an attack on HIM in his trouble.
Mr.. Vincent has been made the
victim of attack by a vicious,
ungenteel political system. The
only way to correct the system is
to vote for the candidate at
tackled. For this reason alone the
people of Benton county should
elect Mr.. Vincent by a large ma
jority SO as to put a stop to a po-
litical system that every just man
should regard with apprehension.

THAT OPEN LETTER.

The article entitled "Open Let
ter to the Times" published in
the last issue of the GAZETTE,
was handed into the Office at a
late hour, just before the paper
was going to press. The article
should have been signed by the
author, but this was overlooked
in the hurry to go to press, as
other matters had also detained
the work that day.
The GAZETTE is in no wise re-
sponsible for the plan nor the
manner of campaigning embod-
led in the article, as such may be
inferred, because it was not
signed by the author. We have
also been reliably informed that
Mr.. Vincent, whose name is also
mentioned in the article. is in no
way responsible for it as he did
not know that such was to be
published.
The article seeks to compare
mistakes of T. 7. Vim cent and T.
II. Davis in their work respect
lively in preparing the tax roll.
While this method of campaign
ing may meet the ideal OF the
author, yet to the GAZETTE it
seems to SAVIOR too much, when
considered by the minds of strong
men, like the disputes of people
playing marbles. y"
Every county officer who has
served the county at any time
has made mistakes. The idea of
basing campaign on mistakes
when every candidate now run
ming for Office has made an abun-
dance of them, shows peculiar
ideas and a system of campaign
ing which should be frowned
down upon by the people of Ben
ton county.
The opponents for thirty years
have waged that kind of cam
paign. Republicans should arise
to higher ideals and make their
contests on plans which can be
respected by the community.
After looking back for several
years over the mistakes made by I
Office holders it is GER
tainly astonishing that such ques-
tions should be pressed from that
side.
That system of campaign in
Benton county should be done
away with by the voters casting
their ballots for the candidate on
whom the attack is made.
Mr.. Vincent was called upon to
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1908-05-29

Mr.. Lane has had a. wide ex-
perience and thorough knowledge
of property in the country as
well as in the smaller cities and
country towns. He is no doubt,
therefore better qualified than
any other man who has ever as
sessed Benton county in his abil-
ity to make equal valuations of
property in all parts of the
county.

Stand for Higher Education.

We, the undersigned business
men of Corvallis, Oregon, believe
that liberal support of higher
education is the only policy con-
sistent with the best interests of
our state and that particularly
at this time when thousands of
homeseekers are looking toward
Oregon we cannot afford to adopt
any other policy. We favor the
increased appropriation for the
University of Oregon and earn

overwhelming vote as favoring
adequate support for our educa-

got up early, had a long journey to
Rierce's home In the suburbs, rang his
friends doorbeIl and was greeted by
the astonished Pierce himself. After
mutual explanations the senator took
up his long journey back to Washing
ton and beguiled the teiium of the
lonesome trip by making vows never
to string" anybody again.
A few years ago Senator Carmack
was put on a special committee Of the
senate to make some sort Of cruise in
Boston harbor. The senator from
Tennessee was not used to big bodies
Of water, for they are not to be found
In the section of the country he came
from. But the senator was In for 1t
and, Of course, had to go the limit.
The vessel had not been tugging with
the pillows long before Mr. Carmack
began to get trifle sick, and in a
short while he found 1t necessary to
slip away to some place where he
could repose himself. He was aw-
fully sick. The man in command Of
the vessel had instructed one Of his
men under him to look out for the.
comfort Of the members OF the dis
tinguished party. Knowing that Mr..
Carmack was violently seasick, having
Aelped him to his room, the man went
back to see how he was getting along.
He found the senator rolling and toss
Ing on the couch OF the stateroom to
which he had been assigned. Is there
anything you Want?" he asked the
senator, after indulging In the conyen-
tional ceremonies. "Yes,'' said the
senator as he pulled himself together.
.I would give anything in the world
right now for a pinch OF dry dirt
The attendant bowed himself out and
had a hearty laugh when he got on
the outside Of the room.
With all his humor and sarcasm
Carmack could fall into the most
touching eloquence. In one of his first
speeches he left few dry eyes among
his admirers, who crowded the gal
leries to hear him.
Il speak, sir, for my native south"
said he. aIt is land that has known
sorrows; land that has broken the
ashen crust and moistened It with Its
tears; a land SCARED and riven by the
plowshare of war and bilIowed with
the graves of her dead, but land Of
legend, land Of song, land Of hal
lowed and heroic memories
ITO that land every drop Of my
blood, every fiber Of my being, every
pulsation Of my heart, is eonsecrated
forever.
II was born of her womb, / was
nurtnred at her breast, and when my
last hour shall come pray God that
may be pillowed upon her bosom
and rocked to sleep within her tender
and encircling arms"
Mr.. Carmack's reputation among his
colleagues, however, did not rest on
mere wit and eloquence. On both
sides Of the senate he was regarded
as one Of the most capable, thorough,
solid men that the south had ever sent
to congress. On both sides there was
sincere regret when he was beaten for
reelection.
Bismarck daily tribune., 1908-12-24
Growing Tobacco IN Maine.

It has apparently remained for Pope
Gibbs to demonstrate in his own gar
den, situated about mile from the
Soldiers home In Togus, that tobacco
can be successfully grown In Maine.
Last year Mr.. Gibbs raised about
eighty pounds Of tobacco from seven
ty-nine plants. This year he raised
very nearly the same amount from
only thirty-five plants, the season be-
ing much more favorable for the
growth Of the plant. Mr.. Gibbs had
no difficulty in disposing Of the tobac-
co which he raised last year and which
was generally conceded to be Of excel
lent quality. He cured it in his barn,
which has a yentilator and where by
opening the doors he was able to get
the current Of air necessary for the
best results, the conditions being quite
as favorable as In the best tobacco
curing plants of the south. The opin-
ion was very generally expressed last
season that while Mr.. Gibbs was sue
cessful In raising tobacco in this state
1t would not be possible to mature the
seed here. This year he has disproved
this idea by maturing a tobacco stalk
more than seven feet high, with an ex-
ceptionally well developed cluster of
seeds. s.-Kennebec Journal.

He Consumed Hundred Thousand

cigars and Lake OF Efqu0rs.
In the New Bismarck Reminis-
cences," just issued by Professor Yon.
Eiering Of Berlin, there Is a record Of
how many BOTTLES OF champagne and
cigars Bismarck consumed before the
great breakdown Of his physical sys-
tenn some ten years previous to his re-
tiresnent from the chancellorship.
Sr. Schwennigen had just taken the
sick prince In hand, trying to save him
from an untimeiy grave" !" says the au-i
thor, when called upon him at his
country place near Hamburg.
Bismarck told me OF the strict regf-
men as to food and drink to which he
was now subject and added: Well, I
suppose 10000 bottles Of champagne
! and 100, 600 cigars are all mortal can
stand. have always been giant as
to stature and stomach, and such, I
now find out, were my limits. More's
the pity
/" Why, your grace said, you cam
not have drunk as much as that in
your busy life.' .95.
oh, yes, I've been figuring up re-
piled the chancellor During my long
diplomatic service and my career as
| a statesman never drank less than
two bottles Of champagne for dinner.
That counts up in the long run, and
imagine the quantities Of brandy, beer,
red wine and white wine and cordials
that have put away besides enough
to float a battleship.
As to cigars, before this sickness
came on | never threw away a stump
until new cigar was lighted. When
/ Travelled from Hamburg to Berlin or
from Frankfort to Berlin, for instance,
II never left off smoking for a single
moment .E

Porto Rican English.

The English language may be steadi-
