Saturday Night Thoughts. This week it has been the same old Make a noise like a booster. TELEGRAPH. An Era of Elimination. I The following from the Woman's National Daily, of Si, Louis, is about the niost pointed of any thing yet Been: It is undoubtedly quite important to know just what Mr, Haskell's relations with Standard Oil have been, but Mr, Bryan stated that proof of these rela tions would mean the instant elimina' tson of Mr. Haskell, and he has now eliminated himself. Mr. Roosevelt was asked, but failed to furnish the proof, Bince he has already publicly con demned and executed Mr. Haskell off hand on evidence satisfactory to him. It is presumed that Mr. Haskell's eliitv ination by Mr. Bryan will be followed by Mr. Roosevelt's instant elimination of his secretary of the treasury, Mr, Cortelyou, whose intimate relations with Standard Oil, the express and other trusts in the process of extract ing slush funds for Mr. Roosevelt's own campaign, is already well known and, by the way, in order that the charge made by Mr. Roosevelt that Mr. Mack received $300,000 campaign funds from Mr. Taggart, which Mr. Mack denies, may come with good grace, it is pre sumed Mr. Roosevelt will now order the refunding of the $250,000 slush fundB contributed to Mr. Cortelyou by Mr. Roosevelt's practical friends, Mr. Harriman and associates; and since Mr. Dupont is being sued by the govern ment as the head of the powder trust, it was presumed Mr. Roosevelt would eliminate him, had he not just elimina ted himself, since he has been "discov ered," as head of the campaign speak ers' bureau of Mr. Taft's party. Since there is to be such a general house, cleaning, why not eliminate the unre viewable postal official, whose brother, for a fee and other expenses, so ably defended clients in jeopardy at the hands of his brother during the past four years? Then, too, there is that five or six million bonus in the ocean mail contract which Mr. Perkins and Mr. Morgan, for insurance favors shown, received at the hands ot Mr. Cortelyou as postmaster general, that should come back in the general clean up. We hate to suggest such a thing, having been taught its danger, but there is the express trust and Mr. Piatt who have been running the poBtofflce department and taken some twenty or thirty millions per year unlawfully from the postal funds why not elimi nate Mr. Piatt? We are going to far. there won't be anything left, if we keep this up, but Mr. Roosevelt him self. Now, if Mr, Roosevelt, having entertained us for so many years, batted us over the head with his mighty power when we committed lone ma. jeBto, monkeyed with our courtB, Drey fuaized Col. Stewart, muzzled the press, denied the right of potition, abolished trial by jury and substituted unroviewablo mandates, established an eleven million'dollar per year system of secret spies and espoinage over private citizens and busted the trusts and the rest of us, will now eliminate 111 11 SELF and lot Mr. Taft.and Mr. Bryan finish the fight, it won't be quite so in teresting, perhaps, but it will greatly add to tho dignity of his office and the glory of hib own exit therefrom. gom; Thirjiis, Worth Noting The democrats are in favor of taxing largo incomes, and say so in their plat form. The republican platform says nothing The democrats favor the election of U. S. senators by a vote ot the people. The republican platform is silent. It was voted down. The democrats are in favor of taking tho duties off trust controlled articles, high priced and unreasonable. Tho republican platform says nothing on the subject and tho history of the party is against it. The democrats are in favor of a rea sonable tux on banks for tho creation of a guarantee fund for the protection of depositors, Bomothing which would make a panic impossible. The republicans are opposing it and say nothing on the subject in their plat form. The democrats condemn the, use of enormous sums during a compaign ii corruption, and say so. The republican platform says noth ing. Tho democrats opposo extravagunce in office and billion dollar congresses. The republican platform keeps quiet on the subject of course. Albui'yjshould have a brick or stone high sehool building on the site of the present central building, which will be a credit to the city. The location could not be improved. The building is entirely inadequate for a high school of 1G0 pupils and growing in leaps and bounds. Move the old building, a good Btructuro for grade work, and put up a new one. J. Pierpont Morgan has been given tho title of Doctor of Laws, by Yale because of his public service to the na tion in mitigating tho panic last fall What about the millions of common people, who really did the most by leaving their money in the tanks. Try a Patrick Uordan Cigar. 6 cent Btory of politics. According to the democrats Mr. Bryan is pretty sure to be elected, and according to the repub licans Mr. Taft has It all his own way. And there you are. Bill will. Bill won't. The campaign has been devoid of sensations. About all there has been to it has been an effort to make voters believe certain men have been connected directly or indirectly with Standard Oil, a joke when it is remem bered that'Standard Oil has been built up by laws made by a republican con gress, and the failure to enforce the laws we have. Perhaps there has been nothing ex citing more general interest than the clos.ng of a national campaign in base ball, in which two clubs, with one game to play were a tie, making the pennant depend upon that game. It was a nerve racking situation, particularly for the people of the two cities interested. Being a native New Yorker this Saturday Night Thinker had a decided preference, but it will take more than a base ball game to suggest suicide in this splendid world of ours, with so much to live for when life is half liyed. . It has been.learned that Albany Col lege has a prospect of a $100,000 en dowment, something it needs most em phatically. Handicapped by a lack of funds it has bravely pushed forward against obstacles, doing a good service in the cause of education, faithfully fulfilling its mission. This is no chi mera, but a genuine prospect. A good endowment will put the college on its feet and give it an equipment that will make its work more complete and effective. Standing for much in morals as well as in education it deserves the best support that can be secured for it. The foot ball season has begun, one which interests a great many people Though a rough game it is a wonderful one in its generalship. It is not a game all of muscle, but as well one of head work. Just beef alone won't win a game. Teams play the best which use their heads the most, and control their nerves the most effectively. Young men do well not to go into the game unless theyare built for it. It is no contest for weak lungs and flabby mus cles, but it is one for excitement and aggressiveness. f he Democrat this week had an op portunity to secure some well made shears at a very cheap price when se cured in large quantities, to offer as premiums to new subscribers and old oneB paying up. It was refused. The writer has a notion of his own on this subject, and that is that people shall subscribe for the Democrat because they want it because of its merit as a local newspaper, and a purveyor of good ideas, not because they want to secure a pair of shears or some other thing, which is legitimate enough. The Democrat is always glad to have new subscribers and gets a good many of them, but it likes to got them without any sileshow attachments, and they generally stay better too. Dilterent Why. A dispatch from Washington states that Senator Bourne has hired the most expensive residence in the city, and will entertain in a lavish manner next winter. Perhaps Oregon will get in the public limelight under Mr. Bourne's expenditure of money, even if he does not through the statesmanship of its senators. Really, though, the kind of attention Oregon needs is statemanship in the interest of this great northwest country, asking for recognition. Sena torship is something more than display. Perhaps that is what it' has became through practice; but it should be work. It should particularly be on the part of Mr. Bourne, practically elected by the people. The field is a big one and it needs to be filled in an active manner. There is little doubt it will be by Sena tor Chamberlain, when ho gets into tho harness. Will it also be by Senator Bourne. I-'i eoz cd 1 houglits. We no sooner get through mowing the lawn than tho time conies to chap wood. Be sure that your whiskey has "ago and natural color," or it may be potato juice. It must be a groat deal harder for Mr. Bryan to stop talking on Sunday than it is for Mr. Taft to give up his fishing for a day. It docs not mnke any difference lo Washington. She has to take any old president tho rest of the country chooses to send her. Most of the men In charge of the republican national campaign are mil lionaires. A close finish is thing in tne world. the most exciting I H.nW.HKW.,tUMMMMal MX POLICIES!" C. H. NEWS County Court: Application of D.

At the session of the synod at Ash land last evening $1500 was pledged for Albany College for current expenses the coming year. The national college board will add $2,000 to this, making $3500 for current expenses, putting the college in good condition for better work than ever. The synod is waki ng up to the importance of the college, and during the coming year more work will be done for it than ever before. The Albany College meeting cf tho synod, according to a private dispatch received was a most enthusiastic one. "The prospects of the college were never better, lhere are big things ahead." Ono of those is the endowment of nt least $tH, 000, perhaps $100,000, and some things not yel public. I PHOCURi:0NOOErtNOt0.1""ll. it m huh; fli.'tn, lurpiivrt witi-h tiul fr report. I cw"tu. e.

MISFITS, Tho polls all have a Bryan flavor. It looks better all the tipie for Bryan. After all it takes Heney to do very much. Whose business iB it to enforce law any way. President Roosevelt has given Bryan a big boost. These big league endings are ' nerve racking for the fans. Thejgreatest base ball game in the history of the world today. They are having a good old fashioned time over along the Hellespont. Everybody says Albany is getting there and that ought to settle it. Until Turkey is given a good thrash ing there will be trouble in Europe. An exchange suggests that a good way to make a fool of oneself is to act smart. Tbe Bills met in Chicago yesterday. No harm done. The country is safe anyway. Mr. Harriman is projecting two or three more transcontinental lines. Just a little fishing trip for Ed. A Pendleton editor has skipped for Alberta, Canada, to raise wheat. That's pretty near jumping . from the frying pan into fire. The peddlers law should be enforced. I it is gouu one. mis applies to men , who take orders with the goods around tne next corner. Guard: The Democrat heads an edi toral, "Albany Full" We didn't read it through, but will bet thirty cents that it was a mighty quiet drunk. According to the Scio News, though Mr. Davenport is cartooning Bryan he will not vote for Taft, but for Bryan. He is paid to make the Bryan cartoons. v These Indpendence candidates are principally busy throwing mud. A party built up on mud throwing will never survive. JNor will any ono else. New York lost something it had won before. Ic was robbed out of that tie game. It was not a tie, it was a New York victory. Hurrah for New York anyway. The O. A. C. freshman have been or dered not to wear a stiff hat during their freshmen year. College students don't have much regard for human lib erty. Dr. L. M. Davis, of Portland, who has sued the Journal for $40,000 dam ages, values his future political oppor tunities at $10,000 and wants that much for their damage by the Journal. This is getting interesting. A Eugene business man reports the rental on some property owned by him to have increased from $45 a month to $100 a month on account of the paving. Pretty good for the prop erty owner, but what about it for the renter. Albany kicked on Eugene cement blocks for its new depot and now ob jects to Grants Pass granite for the depot walks. Somehow our northern neighbor is hard to please. Register. Never kicked on the blocks. They just suit Albany, but the sand is infamous for a platform. A special meeting of the city council should be called to pass an ordinance preventing the use of Grants Pass sand platforms in Albany. Nasty breeders of disease, receptacles of tubercolosis, mixtures of tobacco juice and microbes, unwasha'ule and unabsorbent, in the suit -mer blowing up in one's face, in the winter sticking to one's feet Two Eugene women were overheard in conversation the other day while looking at the latest creations displayed in the window of one of our leading dry goods stores. "Well" said one, "my husband says if Taft is elected I may have a new dress, but if he isn't I may have to sell my old one" Register Which is as small politics as one ever heard of this side of San Francisco. A writer in the Salem Journal has a two column article on moving pictures. which it endorses when of the right character, but sees a tendency towards evil if not Btopped. Thero are too many French pictures, it says, with too many drinking scenes, with a great deal of the salacious and suggestive, aprealing to morbid tastes, on a lower plane than Americans are accustomed to. The writer thinks there is too much of the fierce in the pictures. Roseburg Review: Hurrah for Bry an!" was the repeated cheer that fell on the ears of United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, as his train, the southbound flyer. No. 13 tvgan pulling out at Roseburg at 9 o'clock this morning. For fifteen min utes during the stop of the train the senator through his own invitation, was a target for a volley of questions hred at him by Bryan follower, and Debs men, too, and if the Hoosier ora tor made any votes for Taft by his re plies it was not evident from the mani festations of the crowd, which num bered no more than (hat which grectai!

Willie Dickinson, son of Hartmas Dickinson, residing on theSantiam, was coming to Albany this fornoon, when he saw a deer on the farm of Mrs. Dickson, about four miles from this city.

Munkers,' also deputy game warden of this county, reports every ining oone possible to enforce the law in this county, but it is a very diffi cult thing. A man can have as many birds in his possession as he pleases, there being nothing in the law to pre vent it, so decided by the court. There has to be proof that he killed over ten in a day, and who can make it. Mr. Munkers will favor a strict er law, one making the possession of over ten birds evidence or guilt, and a conviction for violation of the law pun ishable by the taking away of the li cense and imprisonment. home from Calif Mr. Dennis Merrill arrived home last night from Weeds, Calif., where he has been on a five week's hunt with his father, who has been chere for some time, and brother Kenton With others they hunted the festive deer in the mountains, the entire party getting fourteen.
