A man who had made $30,000,000 stock gambling, who mado strong moral professions, when cornered final ly made the following candid statement illustialive of the manner in which peo ple aro robbed by "honest" men if they dabble in Wall Street stocks: I have been down here in Wall Street more thnn thirty years. I have had to take things as I found them. I have had to do things pretty mu:h as other people did them. This is no moral training ground. It's a place for strong minded men. Much that goes on here is wrong. Money making is a sordid business anywhere. I should not like to bo judged by what I have done in Wall Strout here against such competition as wo know to exist, i should want to bo judged by whut 1 have done outside by the railroads I have built and by othur works for which I have found the capital. As for speculation, it cannot be eliminated from hutran nctivity. As for manipu lation, it will in some way bo nlways tho accompaniment of speculation until mini's ingenuity is exhausted or human naturo reformed. It is some times necessary, sometimes profitable, and always a temptation. Hie Mutter of Normals Tho normal schools have themselves to thank for tho present predicament. They simply overdid tho business, li is far more the business of the stute tn givo the normal schools a splend d sup port than it is the colleges, for th normal is part of the public schpi system, tho furnishing ot teachers for it, while the college is an educator fin those going into the professions and a ionco, as a rule. '1 hree is too many normals for a state of the population of Oregon. Two is enough, perhaps one. It isn't a matter of location, the giving of any section a school. Transports tion is not very burdensome. The truth is, through a system of trading tin different sections wanting schools thought they could got almost anything they wished, and they got it in the neck. Oregon ought to have at least one first-class normal, and the Demo chat has always believed that Mon mouth, the site of the pioneer school, is entitled to it. I Puys tn He llullcdt. Even robbery is a lottery, and the worst kind of one. A safe was blown open in Roseburg, at a risk of ten or twenty years in the penitentiary, and only $2 secured. But dishonesty never has any reward even it more is secured It U always the same in the long run, It will rack a man's brain for eternity, and generally in this world there is punishment enough to make the aver. age person miserable. It pays to do things right.- A clear conscience is worth all the gold in the world. Frei,z:ed 'thoughts. Dried bananas are said to be fine. Wet banana peelings are pretty slick, too. Castro is said to have been cured, but his moral malign growth has not been disturbed. It must have given the prospective leanee a momentary shock when his eye first fell on the headline announc ing that Taft will lean on Knox. EUGENE PROSPECTS. Guard: The Eugene Elks are determ ined not to be outdone by their brothers at Albany, and are talking of erecting tho llneat Elks' Tcmp'e in the state out side of Portland. They own the prop erty which they now occupy, but the hall is becoming too small for the rapid increase in members. It is said that the lodge comtemplates selling the property and will erect either this year or early next a splendid block four or live stories high in the business section of the city.. Eugene will build this year a $70,000 federul building, a $50,000 Y. M. C. A. building, a $75,000 city hall, $50,000 worth of university buildings, an $80,000 hotel, two school houses costing $34,000 a big Eagle's building and several other business blocks, as well as hund reds ot residences.

Farmers say the fall grain has passed through the winter so far in cood con dition, and prospects are good for an average crop. Fruit prospects are good with the exception of some kinds of berries, which seem to have been killed by the cold weather in. January. Stock is getting a long quite well but has to depend on being fed as there is no grass in tne pastures tor any Kind of stock and very little in the fields for sheep. Beef and mutton are scarce and high, and of rather poor quality. Farmers are talking of starting their plows, but they hud better consult the weather man before they commence. Home and Abroad- G. C. Morris, the popular and efficient assistant superintendent of the S. P.. has resigned to accept the position of superintendent of the United Railways of Porfland, which wants a first-class man at its head. He will be succeeded by C. W.

Tho meeting will be preceded by a short song service beginning at 2:30 o'clock. O. A. C. last night defeated the famous Los Angeles team at basket ball 28 to 18, which the Democrat an ticipated.

Seven stalwart young Swedes arrived in Portland' last Thursday, direct from their far'Nbrtta ern home. They all came from, one village, and hi a great many cases-their sweethearrs bad preceded them. Positive promises are made that Ei geneand Portland, the two cities at) the extremes of the Williamette Valley,, are to be connected by trolley just as soon, as men and money can do the work. I At no time during the history of Oreg on was the state being so thoroughly advertised as- at present. Business men of Portland are sending out leaflets which emphasitre the statement, "Yfou can buy your ticket to ANY POINT IM OREGON just as cheaply as to Port land." The Drain Commercial Club is organ ized and at work. The Elgin Commer cial Cluo gave its first annual banquet last week. A great many ef the preachers and school taachers of Oregon are busily at work in an effort to get Eastern people to take advantageof March and Aprit colonist rates. One hundred: and fifty Seattle and Tacoma excursionists were in Portland Saturday, bound South through Oregon and California. At The Hotels. Prominent drummers: JackC. Currie,. Lee Gilbert, W. F.

Homer Davenport in Human Life Beginning with the January issue of HUMAN LIFE, the magazine about people, and running through 1909, will he publisnea a story oi nis Doynouu- uy Homer Davenport., c.rtoonist, trav eller, humorist, lectu.er ard roan of many stories. Tne scene is laid around Silverton, Oregon. Tne articles will be illustrate by Mr. Davenport himself, covering many delightful to rearl about adventures taking the reader up to the time ie made his hit is San Francisco, as a cartoo.iist. HUMAN LIFE isabsolutcly original. No other magazine deals with people exclusively " It is filled with stories and pictures of people and will keep a fanii'v posted of the ooinss of aU the prominent people of the dav. It's ed itor is the greatest writer of the day of vigorous, virile, pjngent, forceiul. piquant English, as its editor-in-chief, Alfred Henrv Lewis, n man whose fin jjers aro on the public pulse. Great men are its contributors, Chas. Edward Russell. Vance Thompson, etc. Every man, women and child in Ore -gon should reod Human Life during 1909. Fu.' 50 cents the Democrat will order ii. for subscribers, until Muy 1st. cood for the e.itiie year including the January number. When Married Go and buy your dUbes from an up to-dati stock and nht pri:ef. The place: At Charles Knecht'a. MISFITS. The house gave Pat Mc Arthur a gold watrh. What for? $45,000 for a consumptive institution was a hollow cough. Set the roses going for next summer. It is no funny business for the nor mals, A big hotel on the sight of China town would look mighty fine. Idaho has fallen into the local option line. The saloon is on the run. Wonder if Harriet Beecher Stowe woald recognize Uncle Tom now. Monmouth is the pioneer normal and should have been taken care of. No trouble to remember the date of the return of the fleet, Washington's birthday. The fleet is home from its $27,000,000 trip, safe and sound. Hurrah. When th Albany boys once get their bearing they are a regular cyclone. The people will vote on a branch asy lum in eastern Oregon. One asylum is enough. The flat salary bill for the state print er was gouged to death and the graft will continue. The Crater Lake road is to have only $25,000i a year for fsur years, and Con gress is- to help. Will it. Oregon had better leave railroad building alone on its own- account. It would be suicidal at the present time. With present taxes a third larger than last year people are wondering what will happen next. The people will have same- fun in- the nxt election. It will take a long ticket to nil the referendum waats: A Portland paper publishes a picture of Mrs. NicholasiLongworth- Lets-see, who is Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. The dry farming: congress is in ses sion in Cheyenne with the wind howiine like thirsty coyotes and the air full of A speaker at Medford the other day spoke of Medford as the Seattle- Oregon. Perhaps- because it is aU Sound. Nocon sttuiional conventitoa. is need ed. The people have, plenty oi power now. It will be knocliedout with, it $50,000 deal. You can figure almost anything oui in walnut culture; hut there is- an- im mense uncertainty abmt it just the same. Something new is a sexaphone,. which tells sexes. The Journal tells about it. The Democrat will want it. to show to Smith. Giving it Ginger fbt Fongr wa somewhat of a mistake; but that, is what the Democrat did, and it always admits the coin. I The river and harbor -bill has $20,000 ior the Willnmette fronn Oregon Citv to Eugene, generally spent by. the time Salem is reached. The dry wave sweeping over New York state, has just struck the village in which the Democrat man started out. Hooray, hooree. A vote for the high school bonds is a big boost for Albanju. whether you nave any cnuuren ot your own or not, and the building is a necessity. The people will set down on that con stitutional convention, with both feet. No monkeying by a. lot of inexperienc ed men with the constitution. The matter of an extra Ression is be ing grappled with on account of a bungle in the bin sppropriating$iib2,000 for the improvement of state institu tions The members are not inclined to meet any more at their own expense just to fix up three state institutions, which are already in good condition. The appropriation of the Oregon leg islature for the 1899-00 session was $1,-' 389,044 24, for the 1909-10 session, just ten years later, $4,227,073.82, more than three times as much and the popu lation of the state is hardly halt as much more. In short there is nothing to justify thn grab and extravagance. The Midnight Doughnut of Eugene, has begun a crusade against collepe slang, and particularly the words, pigs, the lany iricna ot a young man, pigger,. the young man, and pigtiing. the call ing upon the pig and taking her some where. Such rot is of course degrading and silly even in college parlance. The Democrat likes Pat McArthur personally, but it is time the state leg islature quit putting a "school boy" in for speaker. McArthur failed to make good. Nevertheless he will overcome his failure, and if he will just wait awhile and not want to get to the top at the first jump wil) make it in the long run. '.'.'.
