A Matter of Modesty An exchange gets off the pun that if a bathing suit is a crime it is an awful little one. Herein is food for reflection. Women run around in short kneed bathing suits with men gazing at them from every side, who wouldn't think of doing any- thing so immodest as to lift their skirts an inch above their shoe tops on the streets or in their homes. Therefore is It wrong. Some say yes, some no. Bathing is undoubtedly a good thing for women as well as men, and . it undoubtedly proper for them to engage in it. If they do so at all they should do bo in a proper manner that will be appropriate and easy, and, the less apparel one has on the more comfort able the bather u., and one thing is certain, the bather doesn't want much below the knees. Hence abbreviated clothes are necessary. Men ought to be abore indecent rubber necking. Our Street Car System. Perhaps more fun has been poked at Albany's street car system than any- thing else in the city. It is a little out of date in a city that is up-to-date gen. erally in its institutions, and, yet this horse car system, has been a very use ful institution in Albany. Faithfully and promptly the car has been taken to all the trains that come into Albany, courteously has everybody been treat ed, and at a good speed have people been taken down street from the depot and up Btreet to the depot. It has done a good service and done it well, take it all together, and the management of it iB entitled to credit. While other' Btreet earless towns are having their digs there is some satisfaction in the fact that there are 19 miles of horse cars in New York City. j Nevertheless it is certainly to be hoped that Albany has electricity with, in a year, and, there is reason to be lieve it does. If not within a few months the city council will undoubt edly put a crowbar under the franchise. Getting New Comers. The people of Oregon should jinite in their efforts to get their friends in the east interested in the colonist rates to the coast, not in the interest of the railroads, but in the interest of this country, which needs more people of the right class. The development , league, having its headquarters at Portland, is using its best efforts, and is particularly taking advantage of the newspapers of the state to boost. Just now all of them have been requested to interview their representatives in the state legislature. One thing desired is to secure as low rates as any that are givon, so that this country will not bo handicapped, and this the Linn county representatives are willing to help in every way possible. It is up to Oregon to get some of tho Washington hustle on and do things. And wo may ns wol appreciate the fact that we must ac complish what we are aftor through tho instrumentality of the railroads. ho Nail Hit on the Head. Theso "popular young lady" contests are becoming an intolerable nuisance. They not only cause strife and jeal ously, but are an imposition upon the people It is about time for Uncle Sam to step in nnd save the reading public from further annoyance by put ting a stop to nil these voting and prize schemes. A newspaper that can not win on its merits does not deserve, to win. Polk County Observer. Tho above is chuck full of good sense. The Observer has hit tho nail square- on tho head. I lie paper that caters to the public on schemes does not descrvo to win. .Newspapers should bo taken for the news and opinion of its editor. Merit is what should count, 1 he DifVercnce. Let tho mercury go up to 103 in tho shade in New York City nnd tho papers would bo full of sun stroke stories. Even at 95 degrees tho casualties are many. In Albany with tho mercury at 103 men were about their usual daily work on tho streets and in tho liolds tho same as ever, and not a roporl of damage is rocordod. Hero some broo zcb stole over tho hill? from the ocean and tickled the nocks of our people Tho records of many years show only a fow cases of tho mercury ever reach ing 100 degrees, nnd never before as high as 103. Generally it is down in the 80's during tho summer, and during the night below 60. Frenzied 'thoughts. Isn't Forakor sonewhat behind the times in talking about "the man on , horseback"? The man in the nutomo bilo is tho man of the hour. Prices are on a higher lovel than tlioy have been tor seventeen years, accor ding to the bureau of labor. We are glad to know they are on the levol even : if it is higher. I Frenzied I hooghts. May Irwin says a woman is happiest with a young husband. This is un doubtedly true, if the young man has no deep-seated preju jice against split ting the kindling and lighting the kitchen fire in the morning Owing to a mistake of the legislature, Texas people will have to go without a drink for twenty years. That will give the Texans a chance to discover that it is not 'an impossibility after all. The Rev. Mr. Long is not likely to call in person at the White House for that apology he feels is due him. "What a great world this would be", reflects the Baltimore American, "if the business man could banish care like the boys and girls on roller skates" Often it is the youngsters on roller skates who make it impossible for him banish care. Having invaded a Chicago packing house, Sen. Kuroki doubtless under stands now that there are even worse things than war. The percapita distribution of weallh in this country, is reported tobe $1,310. The fact that John D. Rockefeller has cornered the vast majority of the per caps, somewhat detracts from the ex ceeding joy that this item might be expected to arouse. Among other things, California now comes forward with the meanest man in the country. A bridegroom of that State, is accused of forcing his bride to eat all the biscuits she bakes. "Ohio Democrats Hopeful" says a headline in the Baltimore Sun. It has been a long time since they were pie ful however. The case of the Dampskibsactresesk- abet vs. Rotterdamwas recently called in Holland. A case with a bad begin ning and a bad ending. IN THE MTS. As Told by One at Cascadia. Albanians, and other people too are having fine times at Cascadia. This is a delightful' resort. Mr. Geisindoffer and estimablewifearedoing all they can for the comfort of the hotel guests and campers. Nature has been most lavish in her garnishing and beautifying in this locality. The water from the mount ain stream is pure, cold and clear and the mineral spring cannot be excelled anywhere. The camp grounds is one of the pretties andt moat commodious. Tho grand old trees offer a very grate- ful shade these warm days and all the surrounding conditions are conducive to rest, healtli, comtort and pleasures There are a number ot people camped here from all over the valley and as you know u large delegation from Al bany. The hotel has also been crowded. Tho men have been industrious by fi ih ing and hunting and in the majority o case3 the labors havo been rewarded, and generous hunters and fishermen have supplied the whole camp with delicious trout and savory vension. j The women nro busy cooking, sewing and visiting and enjoy very much the, freedom fiom conventionalities. How- ever, we have some of "The Social Whirl". Mrs. D. O. Woodworth and her sister Miss Marshal) gave a "taffy pull" a fow nights Bince which was ' very enjoyable. Miss Marshall manipul-1 ateu the taffy, which was palatable and warranted to wash off in due course of time. A popular young attorney com- plnined that the young ladies used to take his taffy oft the plate and get it all ready to pull, but now they just municu in linn vviiuii mi-y lien uu WUfS burning his fingers to the bone in his efforts to make the stuff work. Some lino s lections from a Superior phonograph added much to the pleasure of those present and the Cathay broth ers and sister sa lg some beautiful songs, which were very much enjoyed. Tliorc wero thirty guests who nporeci ated highly tho gracious hospitality of Mrs. Woodworth. Incidents Among the guests nt Hotel Cascadia are a certain brido and groom who it was understood, were for some reason avoiding Albany, but unfortunately they fell among the Philistines up hero. An up-to-date party of Albany people hastened to welcome them royally by gathering up everything in the camp that would make n noise, and repairing to the hotcl.wheicpaudemonium reject ed for a time, nothing like making young, ba-hful people feel at homo and among friends. i Little Edward Sox went fishing the other day and met with the usual luck of many fishermen a thorough ducking but nary a fish. His dignity suffered but no bones were broken. It is not safe to ask onogentlemnn in camp who has always been considered a law abiding citizen, what he thinks of enforcing law and dodging officers I who are trying to servo papers upon absconding witnesses in (lie wee small ' hours of the night etc etc. You had better not ask him, but a certain ex- sheriff of l.inn county might, if asked, throw some light on tho matter. ! i no old ukmoi rat ;heers us every day. It is a face of a dear old friend nnd we wclcomo it warmly. Nworb. Peculiar Situation. Mayor Rodgers, of Salem, have no tified the Northwest Long Distance Telephone Co., to remove its wires from the citv, there being no franchise for it at all, tho Home Telephone Co., having the franchise. As the same condition exists in all the valley towns there is liable to be trouble all along the line. In Albany the Long Distance Telephone Co. has no franchise, but the Home, supposed to be the same, has. j Saturday Night Thoughts. Since our last thoughts of a Satur day night Mr. Haywood has been ac quitted by a jury of his peers after an eighty day trial, one of the most sen sational in the history of the United States. With a man swearing posi tively to his guilt the jury .discharged him, which was undoubtedly in accord ance with the instructions ot the Judge, Two other men charged with the same crime will be tried. Under the circum stances they should be acquitted. It is hardly right to put the people of Idaho to the cost of these trials when the evidence is practically the same. This should be accepted as a test case, and the result apply to all of them. It. is not an easy thing to figure out who has hold of the reins at the present writing. but it looks as if Mr. Haywood thought he Had. rm,. i, ... Tj j . . ,i leave her. She evidently anticipated This week the President again stated jit for 8ne had E small vi o carb0lic that he positively would not be a can- acid, which she deliberately drank be- didate for reelection under anv piivnm- stances. He has made it so emphatic th.f :t . -.1 .l that it will probably settle the matter. ii leaves Mr. latt tne leading repub- lican candidate, and the indications are the administration will turn on all their batteries upon securing his nomination, ' as most nearly representing the pres-' ent policies of the President. I The spirit of progress is increasing in Albany, and, undoubtedly there is a good sign of something being done to make things go here in keeping with the other cities of the state. It is being learned from experience that cities as well as people have to get a hustle on in order to progress. It is in order for Albany to do thi3 along all lines, and if there is- a general move ment it will amount to something, for there is no place in Orecron that has muiK iu uuvi in iu. vrtsjr ui uuaiHcaa and as a center for commercial affairs. While the city has no state institutions to bolster it up this should not deter our people from moving, for as a matter of fact observations shows us that as a rule cities with such institu tions are not the ones that make it in the long run, nor are the big university cities. They secure a certain amount of prestige, and, then it stops. Look over the United States and see if. this' not true. Albany has advantages that should be permanent and eventual ly land it in the front. . What a selfish old world this is any way, everywhere it is every man for himself. Brotherly love takes a back 8eat. Self rides the horse. A 1 has hoJ ol th u 8nd s0 it t c ,. Get That mi ud a, Bc, .m. y, wasn't the spirit displayed by Une about nineteen hundred years ago who went about hunting for some one to assist, His followers today should dis play the same spirit in their lives.

SUICIDE Of a Former Russ House Waiter. Rachel Hathaway, a former waiter in the Russ House of this city, com mitted suicide in Portland Vv ednesday night. The story is something like this: Last fall she worked for three months in the Russ House at this citv. going from here back to her home in Eugene, Edward Small, a widower, with two small children, a molder. also resided there. Less than a month-ago her folks, seeing the condition into which she had gotten are said to have sent her away. She came to Albany and Mr. Rowell, of the Russ House, took pity on her, and permitted her to remain a few days, and as she wanted to get to Portland, where Small had gone, gave her money for the trip and some besides. She found Small and they lived together until Wednesday night when he told her that he had ac cented a position at Salem, and must fore him. He fled, half crazed, to the river '"tending to commit suicide, but i was stopped by a couple of po icemen who him acting sf rangely. The girl, nineteen years of age, died in agony. !

A summer flood to wash the trash dumped into this end of Bryant's Park down stream, would not be a bad thing.
