Fit (DAY, MAY 10, 1U07. A COMMERCIAL PIRATE. The English rover that used to sail the Spanish Main in the days of good Qaeen Besa was a swagger fellow and oo doubt he was a hero to many a yon tli who listeued greedily to the tales of blood'and gold told by the old sailors of the village. The Spanish galleon loaded with wealth from Pern and Mexioo proved a great temptation to many an Englishman. Il generally ended by the Englishman going after It and either getting sunk orooiuiug home loaded with booty. And that age justified It all. It was not thought to be wrong to thus prey upon the cowuieroeof auother nation. But onr present twentieth century mcrality would call these Eugliah rovers, Pirates and that their pioper position would have been at the end of the yard arm. Likewise we have pirates that sail the commercial sens of the Dusinsss world. Ouoe in a while oue of them goes on the rooks of stock speculation and it spells ruin for many. If the business world hns ever bsd a cow merulal pirate, it surely has bad one In John W. Gates of whom the lute preli reports tt' that be has failed. II Is one of the most jiiPtorosijuo. figures of the modern commercial life ud surprising ; may ofiu was cordially hated hy men f hUj own dims mi Wall Street. The j trouble Liming Jlnit be played the speculative gum to the limit and with hi own rule. His victims nut I being good losers were w. lit lo sitieHl and claim that he had Jobbed the in in I some way or other. Now they hut that lie has failed also. The liahtltics of stock market. He should be hung on the commercial yard arm of failure. Strawberries are on the market but they are rather aristocratic in price. Tbe family of W. E. Corey seem to regard him as an undesirable oitiaeo. Bnt it is only one more black spot for Pittsbnrg's shield of shame. The last uuuiber of the Llterarf Digest has a photograph of Senator Boarne and It ia the same old chrysanthemum that we need to sue a year ago. The Indians do not seem to be so degmiiTiit these days. Ao Indian team has jnst won a relay race from Salem to Portland over a white team. ine Indiana were all popils at Chomawa. They have been Interviewing John L. Sullivan on Love and married life. Next thing we know some en terprising newspaper man Willi get a signed statement from some hippopot amus as to its ideas on modern art. Grants Pans did not properly cele brate May Day as no families were observed changing thsir abode at that time. In the large oitiea May Day is the great time for hunting new flats and tbe moving vans do a land effice business. It has been slanderously atated that Democrats did not know how to write, bat the recent primary election in Portland has proved otherwise. Dr. Lane's name was not on the bal lot but a sufficient number of Demo crats wrote it In to defeat George 11. Thomas by two to one. CHURCH NOTICES. at 7 Electa Chapman will be the , leader.
