Too Much CeubOiioUNiietS. Ex: A great fault of the world is ccnsoriousness in thought and speech- even in thought it thu speech does not follow. The negative fault correspond ing to this is lack of appreciation; we speak of rot only public but private life. Men are prone to censure without cause, or carelessly, and without con sidering, even if some measure of cen sure be due, excusing or mitigating circumstances. We fail to put our. selves in others places, do not even try to do so. The wrong, even the slight or only apparent wrong done we have sharp eyes for; the right, good things done by others, their approxl mately blameless lives, we scarcely no. tice, much less comment on, till they are dead. There may not be too much censure or at least criticism by newspapers and people of public men, for there has been much occasion for it, but we too often forget the army of public ser- vants who are acting right, doing well, or as well as could be expected of them under customs of officialdom.' Of them as of well behaved people in private life, it may be said that tnere is noth ing to say. They are doing only what they ought to do, so there need bo no remark made about them or to them But is not this attitude of inapprecia- tlon in business life, in family life, all olniiff tta linn n irrinvinna Tjilllr In. along the line, a grievious fault, in clining many people, for lack of it to go wrong? The Teachers Institute. By the Committee on Arrangements. Albany people will have an unusual oppottunity to meet the leading school men and teachers of the state at the State Teachers Association in Albany next week. Perhaps the best known educator from outside Oregon will be Superintendent O. J. Kern, of Winne bago county, Illinois. Superintendent Kern has made the rural schools of his country do the most wonderful work that has been done in rural schools in this country. For ten years his voice has been heard in the councils of the National Education Association and has been highly honored by that body. As a public speaker he is first-class and his speeches and lectures will be found to be intensely interesting by all our people. We do not want the citizens of Albany to feel that these meetings are for teachers only. Everyone will be welcome and if the town receives from the convention what it ought it will be because of the attendance of hundreds of our citizens in the meeting. 1 Such a convention has been known to promote proper sentiment with regard to schools to a greater extent than any other single agency. Let the taber nacle be crowded at the general sessions and let our visitors know that Albany is truly interested in all matters of edu cation. Ensy Figuring. Fortunes can be made figuring, says an exchange. Take the chicken businoBS, for example. Start with one hen. First year she will produce 200 j erj-irs. To De on tlie sate siue we wn say that only 50 hatch, with the result that the second year is started with 50 producers. Now these fifty producers will quit the end of the second year with 50 chicks each making a total of 2500 chickens. Now following this rate of increase through the third year we have 50 times 2500 or 125,000 chickens. The fourth year makes a big year in the chicken business because with these 125,000 chickens produce their 50ciiicks we have the grand total of 6,225,000. These are worth 50 cents apiece or the snug little sum of $3,125,000. This is the time to retire. This amount care fully invested in a country newspaper will last for live years, and then it is back to the chicken business again. An effort is being made in Eugene to secure an amendment to tho charter under which tho council will have power to search all places whore intoxicating liquors aro unlawfully sold, exchanged, furnished or given away, and to seize anil condemn the liquor, in tho Interest of tho enforcement of tho local option law, which every law-abiding citizen should fa.'or. Albany needs such a charter amendment. The fii st railroad train ever equipped with wircloss telegraphy apparatus passing through th state was brought to Portland during tho past week by tho California Promotion Committee, carrying an excursion of 100 prominent business nu n ot California. The visit ors wero entertained by tho Commer cial Club with n ride about the city and dinner at the Club. A Ureitenbush Lasc. Journal: The case of J. W, Sheltnn, in which ho is charged with threatening the life of L. 1'. Heavers of liroiten bush Springs, was commenced in Jus tice of the Peace Webster's court yes terday afternoon, hut after a short ex animation it was decided to c ntinue it until next Saturday at 10 o'clock, ton stable Ira Hamilton is out today sub iiocnuing witnesses. Saturduv Night ThouKiUb. Yes, congress has been in session, that is the Senate ha, pegging away at the tariff bill, which is to go to a joint committee, and then some more. It will some day pass, and then the people will have a chance to scratch their heads and figure out how they have been done up by their representa tives in the interest of the trusts. The celebrated and very nauseating Howard Gould divorce trial ended this week, a divorce being granted and the wife being granted only (36,000 a year alimony. As her dresBes alone have been costing $40,000 a year the poor girl will have to do some scrimping to get along. The case has revealed the inside and rotten life of aristocracy, making people who live decent lives on small incomes appreciate the real value of a home life that is not lived in selfishness. The telegraph this week has rung with the accounts of fiendish murders in different parts of the country, show ing the depravity of mankind. One of them was committed by a Chinaman the victim being a young gi I. In another case a white girl was attacked by a white fiend. Whether white or almond or black, the devil runs riot in hea(ja of mpn -( iven R chance and ' . the country at large suffers, for a mur der is a slam nt civilization, Speaking of young girls, there is an awful laxity in their association with men, running into sensuality, parents permitting it almost under their eyes, If many of them Know the truth they would be startled at the divulsions. lecherous element in society, steeped in self, has only one object in view, and young ladies who have any idea of better living should guard their honor as they would their lives if attacked by a murderer. Some stories have been coming down about a great leader of a class of men, going over the country in drunkenness and defiantly violating the laws ol the country. Men do well to keep clean if they would have any influence. Some timos they mayjhave a temporary in fluence among their fellow men by do ing the rowdy act, but it will not last and the end is shucks. ' Linn county's pioneers have had their week, a good'one, spent well in a re union at a prosperous city over the foot hills, which has secured an excel lent reputation on account of these gatherings. The pioneers deserve all the recognition they receive, for it be comes more and more evident that they builded well. 2928 report of the condition OF TUB FIRST NATIONAL BANK, at Albany, in the State of Oregon, at THE Close of business June 23rd, 1909.
