It Helps Business
An article like the following from the
Spokesman Review, the leading paper
of Spokane, is significant:
"The stock argument advanced by
defenders and beneficiaries of the liquor
traffic against local option is that the
suppression of the liquor traffic injures
business. This argument is a delusion
and a Bnare. It was at one time ac
cepted by a great many business men
who accept it no longer, aJ it hat
almost entirely lost its force with citi
zens generally.
"About the only kind of business in
jured by the suppression of the liquor
traffic is the liquor busines. The money
which would otherwise be squandered
for intoxicating liquors is quickly turned
into other channels of trade, which
profit accordingly.
"Mayor H. B. Carpenter of Pullman
declares that one of the most notable
features of that town since the saloons
were abolished haB been the improve,
ment in business. The abolition of the
saloon has been a strong factor in
this increase and is bo recognized by
business men.
"Alex Polsan, state senator from
Chehalis county, who is probably the
wealthiest lumber manufacturer in bis
county, in a recent letter on the sub
ject said that "on account of the many
damage suitB arrising from incompetent
workmen, contractors and business men
are demanding a restriction of the liq
uor traffic. - Every taxpayer, realizing
that one of the greatest reasons why
his taxes are larger than they should
be is the excessive use of liquor and is
demanding local option legislation."
"Scores of instances might be cited
to show that business men generally
no longer regard the saloon as a friend
to their business, but look upon it as
an enemy. Primarily the local option
movement is a business reform as wull."
The improvement in the business of
Albany has been marked.
Finch's Iudictment.
Jim Finch has been indicted for the
murder of R. B. Fisher. This was
bound to occur, for the evidence seems
pretty plain that way. People familiar
with the facts appreciate that it is a
pretty plain case, one of deliberate
murder, and nothing else than the in
dictment' was expected. He is entitled
to a fair trial, ono entirely impartial;
but It should be without technicality,
on the merits of the case, and the re
sult will take care of itself.
It is true that on account of the large
number of murders that have gone un
punished in Oregon there is a decided
sentiment prevailing today in favor of
a few hangings; but no one wants any
one hanged not guilty. They do want
a few guilty men strung up. Person
ally there is no fooling in
Albany against Finch, more than
againBt any other murderer, even
though it may be a fact that his career
hore is not considered to have boen
an honorable one in a business and
political .way.
Mines ns Boosters.
A big mining camp up the Corvallis
and Eastern would be a great thing for
Albany, the natural distributing point
of the district, as well as for the entire
valley. The movement to build one up
at Cold Creek, now on, deserves atten
tion, and the monied men of the valley
do well to muke an investigation of the
properties, giving the enterprise such
support as the facts justify. Mining
camps are often greac builders of cities,
and their development is a buisness
proposition which shrewd men aro quick
to appreciate.
Our Union Depot.
The announcement that the new
depot Is to be a union one soon is pleas
ing. The old arrangement has been
very inconvenient, crossing the tracks
to got to the dinky C. & E. depot.
The business can now be done in a more
convenient manner in one depot, a line
thing f )r the traveling public. The
real improvements are to come, when
the new yard is built up, and thcro is a
trackage sufficient to meet the large
demands of tho busy station.
lor Better Hoiul.
The universal movement in tho
amotto valley for bettor roads
Will
is a
commendable one. Linn county is do
ing well to tuke a pronounce I stand in
the mattor. One woy to got better
roads is for better state laws covering
tho road question. That is tho root of
it, and in the effort to secure legisla
tion along certain lines tho business
men of this county arc on the right
track.
Big things aro predicted for Lyon
street. There is no telling vhat will
happen along that thoroughfaro, par
ticularly if the property owners should
insist on the pavement of it.
A short session of congress Is long
enough if business was attended to.
Saturday Night Thoughts.
The president has been having some
fun with congress and the big stick has
been swinging in a live manner, all
over Panama. It is possible the stick is
only a stuffed club, and it is probable
only a display will be made. r
Congress has been in session, but
there are not many very sure signs of
anything serious being done in the
matter of tariff legislation, the need ol
the day. There is talk, but this is
short session, and it is probable that
will be made an excuse not to do any
thing
Governor Chamberlain has been in
Washington this week meeting with
the governors and other celebrities in a
congress. He was not the least among
them. On the contrary he made a
splendid showing. Besides it was
splendid thing in connection with the
coming senatorial election, as it helped
to place him on the map in a national
way. The animouB of the fight againBt
him by Fulton is being appreciated.
Mr. Fulton is the one getting hurt in
the scrap.
This week Jim Finch, the murderer
of Lawyer FiBher, was indicted for
Fisher's murder and his trial will take
place soon. It is proposed to force an
early trial in the interest of justice,
No one wants anything unfair, but the
public does . want promptness, and it
wants justice.
... .
One does well to look after one's
body athletically. A good gymnasium ia
a fine thing for any one. In this as in
everything else one should be temper-
ate. Regularity, though, is what
counts, and it is well to keep at a good
thing, not spasmodically, but in regu
larity, temperately. Many go to ex
tremes in their enthusiasm, which
sometimes does more harm than good
The body has to be developed syste
matically and carefully, and there is
often danger of overdoing exercise.
When secured in the right amount it is
a great thing for anybody.
The sentiment is universally in favor
of better roads, and if the county court
makes a special levy of 1 mill and a
general levy of two mills as recom
mended by the convention the tax
payers of the county will unanimously
endorse the action. Every dollar spent
for good roads in the long run will mean
several returned to the people of the
county, making it a business proposi
tion to havo good roads. The way to
have good roads is to have them. Not
talk but hardwork is what will secure
them.
V
The conviction of Abe IRuef is a
splendid victory for better things in
San Fiancisco. It is a difficult thing to
convict any one in these days of tech
nicalities, hence this one is particularly
deserving of commendation. The heart
gets weary over the failures of courts
of justice to secure convictions in plain
cases.
A sample of the government's graft
syBtem is the paying of a man $3,000
for the disbursing of the funds during
the construction of the new post office
at Eugene, and elsewhere. Albany's
turn will come next and as long as it is
the custom the Democrat hopes to
see somo first-class man get the plum.
By the time the selection is made Sen
ator Fulton will havo been out of the
office about two years. Perhaps Sena
tor Chamberlain will have a hand in it.
Postmaster-elect Young is getting it
in the neck red hot by Fulton and
others. It now transpires that he was
once, like Senator Fulton, a free silver
man, and has been dubbed populist,
and is said to havo criticised Taft.
Now isn't that awful.
Mr. Roosevelt continues to want the
corporations controlled; but that is as
far as it gets. Congress sees to it that
the corporations are not controlled
After nil it is principally a gume of
bluff to fool the people.
Senator Fulton had his way in the
naming of a Lebanon postmaster any
way.

Talking Good Roads and Laws.
The good roads convention for ' busi
ness' was being held today, at the court
house betrinnine at 9 o'clock this fore-
EVt..f., ,,. ,( ,-
Forty or fifty were present and
noon,
the number gradually increased until
the circuit court room was well filled.
Judge Duncan presided and former
Judge Stewart officiated as secretary

Stewart soon set things going. He
outlined the present laws and
mended new ones, as touows:
The old laws. Three, one Drovidmcr
for a levy as high as 10 mills, now op
erating, unaer wmcn as provided tne
Rock Creek district get as high as $100
a mile for road improvement and
the
districts around Albany $9 to $12
Another providing for road district
meetings and a third for taxing adja
cent property, the two latter being im-
racticai ana practically dead laws.
Proposed laws, as considered neces

sibie for several timber land districts
to be joined in one district, and the
funds divided up among the riistrcts 1
by the county. t
upon motion ot iion. ni. A. Miller i
these recommendations were made the !
order of the day. Judge Hewitt
thought the recommendations of the
state good roadi convention should be
considered first; but there seemed to
have been nothing definite from that
convention and the Stewart order pre
vailed.
Judge Hewitt at once took the floor
against the first proposition, objecting :
to the annual meeting and election by '
the districts, claiming that the county
court should be exclusively responsible, i
centralizing the power in it. keeping it
out of the politics involved in the dis-
trict management. He also onnosed
anv stateicommissioner and state encrin.
eers, xuvoring tne county court as tne
central power,
Judge Stewart, L. L. Swan, M. A.
Miller and many others followed, and
the result was the passage of a resolu
tion favoring a luw providing for the
annual road meeting and tax levy in
each district. The election of super
visors at the meeting was defeated, ihe
sentiment being in favor of the county
court having the responsibility.
At the session this afternoon a reso
lution was passed after considerable
discussion, providing that the sense of
the meeting was that the county court
levy a special 1 mill road tax and a 2
mill general tax under the supervision
of tho county court.
A resolution providing for a state
civil engineer to have charge of all road
work was laid on tne table at terrific
speed.
The matter of a ditch law was being
discussed.
