Editor CHAS. L. SPRINGER, Business Mgr. St. Louis Globe 'Democrat: They are unfair who have charged Dr. Cook with deliberate, pre meditated imposture. The Scotch verdict "not proven" is ong which we' will have to rest upon for some time, to come, unless the records and data the doctor has brought back with him are In ordering chanees of address, sub- IOUna SO inadequate as XO put cribers should always give old as well as j him OUt of all Standing in COUrt. new address. I At CoDenhaeren he has told the press that one of his thoughts at the pole was that it might easily be said that he never made the journey, and that he would have but scant evidence to offer against such a charge.. Since the doctor has himself thought of this, , the thought is permissible in others, but he is more at liberty to speak it unreservedly than any other man in the world. The degree of respect due from every man to any one man who will make such a perilous adventure will be freely paid up to the point where he is clearly convicted of being a blowhard and a faker, whether or not he has actually discovered the North Pole. Nothing but proved f akery will ever condemn him in any manly mind. ' FALL SUITS NOW READY We offer you - ALFRED BENJAMIN & CO.'S Clothes.

FUN ERA L each m CHANCE TO GET BUSY. - Instead of losing to - Albany and Portland a third of the busi ness that rightly , belongs here, Corvailis should1 hold her own and get some of the other- fel low's business. Corvallis mer chants should force that Willam ette bridge through, insist that the county court build a first class road to connect with the fine one being built by the Al seans, make a stronger bid for the west and south Benton trade, study prices at Albany and meet that' strenous competition in a convincing way and then ; strive hard to getat least a few of the. Portland touches to their stocks. There should be unity in all this, ach merchant doing his ' full share. 'As it stands ' today but three or four stores are making any strong bid forcounty trade-. the others seem content to pick up the oversow business, and that of the people who casually drift in. This is hardly a square i deal ' for themselves or the city. Members of the local merchants' association say that it is but a makeshift' without definite ' pur pose, seldom attended,' and of no feal -consequence. J Here's ' a chance for some "Seattle spirit" to make itself felt. ! Corvallis . is rightly entitled to the most of the Benton county trade, half of Lincoln county's and the Linn county trade as far out as Leb anon, and it can get it if the merchants will but make their association the working force it should be. They should not be content to make their profits off the few rather than the many. The remains of the late S. Kline will be buried Monday the Jewish cemetery at Albany, where other members of the Kline family are at rest. A Scottish Right service will be held at the Kline , home at 12 o'clock Sunday night, and Rabbi Wise, of Portland will hold a ser vice Monday morning, ' after which a special train will carry the remains to Albany. Hazel R. Kline is enroute from New York city and it is expected that she will reach here in time for the funeral. Corvallis, "The City Beauti ful."

' If the Pole is not among : his effects,- some people are not ; go ing to believe that Cook actually got there; And 4 unless Peary has brought along" at least a' sec tion of the hole all 'other evi dence is nil. This is an age of skepticism. The electric light business has doubled in one year; the postal receipts increased twenty-eight per cent the last fiscal- year; where there were less than two blocks of cement walk and curb in the residence section last- year there will be twenty or more blocks this fall." What better signs of real progress could there be? " : AMERICA LEADS THE WORLD It has been proven that a man in the United States has a work ing power twice as great as the German ,or ; Frenchman; "three times that of the Austrian and five times that of the Italian: America ranks first place to-day among the manufacturing na tions of the world and : produces . more than the combined output of her three greatest competitors! A few years ' ago this country ranked fourth in the list but to-1 day she grows - twelve million dollars richer with every setting sun.

' They make '. no effort to account for this." The growth of the city and county and the prosperity of the i people probably has most to do with it, There : has been' much . building, improvements ot all sorts, crops have shown up -,' well,' and greater number of strangers have been in the city than ever before during the summer months. All this has resulted in the expenditure of money: The merchants get the most of it. . - . the benefit of two days' sales to ehurch. ' ' The dates set apart are as follows: M. E. church. South.

Mason, the milliner at Third and Monroe streets, is going to donate ten per cent of her daily sales to the respective churches in the ' city, '.begin ning Monday; September 20, and giving TEXAN'S RIDE TO WASHINGTON THE PACIFIC MONTHLY With Message For the President Hopes . to Make New Saddle Record. With the greeting and Invitation. from thousands of Texans to Presi dent Taft safely tucked away and In full cowboy regalia,' Ed S. O'Reilly, ed itor of the San Antonio Light and Ga zette, 'bade adieu to more than 5,000 enthusiastic san Antonians the other afternoon en route to Washington. The start was made from in front of the historic Alamo in San Antonio. To ride to -Washington with an In vitation for President Taft was an Idea that Impressed Mr. O'Reilly fa vorably -as soon 'as it had been con ceived. That the task might prove too much for him or his steed troubled him little. If Mr. O'Reilly has to make forty miles a day for the entire trip' he will make them. There Is one factor in the undertak ing that would discourage the average man. but which to Mr. O'Reilly will only mean employing a little more grit. He has to reach Washington not later than the middle of September. Were It- not that he is riding a cow pony of the best . Texas stock. . an animal of great stamina, endurance and tenacity. bis chiin-es of repching Washington would be slim indeed. But Aransas.'a mare bred uu Mr.' Taft's brother's ranch on the gulf, will prove more than equal to the oooasiou. Hers is that ' steady, swinging stride which only generations of hard work in the chaparral rounding up cattle could have given her and her ancestors. Change of feed and water means little to the Texas pony, because selection and elimination on the home plains are strong factors and have weeded out all that is unfit. - . ' . The successful completion' of the trip .would , put all previous long distance rides in the shade. Since the days of the pony express nothing like it has been attempted. Even the, ride be tween Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and Santa Fe, N. Mless than one-half the distance Mr. O'Reilly purposes to cov er, was considered a remarkable performance.

A novel suggestion was made to Postmaster General Hitchcock at Washington the other day for a way In which properly to celebrate the thir teenth anniversary of the establish ment of the rural free delivery. A Mis souri farmer wrote Mr. Hitchcock that he had seen in the newspapers that the department was at a loss to .know what would be a fitting, way to observe the establishment of the rural service; His plan would be to have every pa tron of the. service give a cent to the rural carriers, the money so collected to constitute a fund for some worthy charity like Athe establishment. , of a home for children. As there are 20,- 000,000 rural free delivery patrons, the adoption ' of ' the - Missourian's plan would yield a fund of $200,000. SERMONS' ON BALL FIELDS. Chicago Minister Advocates : Opening Sunday Games With Prayer. A sermon would be a fitting opening to each major league baseball game played on Sunday, according to Bruce Barton, son of the Rev. W.- E. Barton, pastor . of the First Congregational church. Oak Park. Chicago. . He de clared the other night that,' although lie did not favor Sunday baseball, he thought the plan feasible. Barton said he had mentioned the matter to some of the prominent min isters of Chicago and also has set the facts before persons connected, with the management of major league teams and that in all instances his suggestion had been approved. . Barton says that the matter has been approved by both President Charles Murphy of the Chi cago Nationals and Charles Ebbets of Brooklyn. . G. B. Shaw's Considerateness. G.
