Welcome Oregon Electric. Never before in the history of Albany have the citizens had a better opportunity of advertising the Hub City than through the proposed 1 Jregon Klectric cele bration on July 4th. The formal entry of a great railroad, giving the people of this particular section of the state the advantages of competitive railroad rales, increased transportation fa cilities and a larger payroll, is certainly an cent which marks an era iii the growth and develop ment of the Willamette Valley. It is therefore both fitting and proper that extensive preparations should be made for the reception of the visitors. No stone should be left unturned in extending a royal welcome. No effort should be spared in making the celebra tion an event long to be remem bered by the officials of the new railroad' as well as by the resi dents of Albany. o A Grand Junction clergyman has no particular use for bachelors and bachelor-maids, claiming that they are a menace to society and a thorn in the side of civilization, j'le is not content, however, with condemning the life of a single man or woman but would send them, one and all, to some isolat ed island. The Grand Junction pastor might do well to remember that we are not always the architects of our own fortunes; that there are thousands of eligible young women who have never had the blessed opportunity of saying "yes," and thousands of excellent young bachelors whose income is not sufficient to .support a wife decently. Vet the poor, the lame, the hall and the blind are advised to enter the slate of matrimony, even though it may mean pov erty, distress and unhappiuess. The fool-killer should lake the next train for Grand Junctio:.. For nearly half a century this publication has been conducted as a democratic newspaper and the new management knows of no good reason for changing the pol icy so long adhered to by our predecessors. It is 'not our purpose to convert the Democrat into a political or gan, but we reserve the right to discuss public men and measures fully and freely in the editorial columns of the paper. In our humble judgment the democratic party comes nearer being right on public questions than any other political organiza tion, but parties, like men, have their imperfections. It has been our observation that no parly has a monopoly on the brains and vir tue of the nation, and the man who makes such a claim brands himself as an egotist and a fool. 'l'be Lowenbcrg Stove Com pany of Salem, with an annual payroll of fifty thousand dollars, would locate in Albany i. suitable inducements were made by our citizens. The writer is not familiar with local conditions and consequently is unable to discuss intelligently, the advisability of raising a cash bonus for the Salem company. It occurs to us, however, that the location of new manufacturing establishments is a question of vital importance to the commer cial development of the city. With two competing railroads and an open river to Portland, no city in the Willamette Valley offers better inducements for the man ufacturer. A lai'Kcr payroll means a larger city and a more prosper-; oils community. The interests of j the manufacturer and the citizens of Albany are therefore mutual,! and as soon as this fact is brought I home to the former, there should be but little trouble in striking a bargain. The writer recently inspected the Oregon Agricultural College and considers it the best equipped vnstitutiiMi of its kind in America. With an able corps of instruc tors, buildings and equipment which would reflect credit upon anv state in the I'liion and a na tional reputation as an institu tion of Icarnkig. the people of Oregon have reason to feel proud of their school at Corvallis. It has always seemed rather strange to lis how Colonel Roose velt can talk so much without committing himself m the taritl. It's mighty strange that so many ox-congressmen get such good results from IVrima. Good Lord deliver us from an other president with a judicial temperament. Senator Cummins. ' "The worst republican is bet ter than the best democrat." The above statement did not fall from the lips of an irrespon sible fanatic, but was made at a political meeting in the city of Chicago by a member of the Unit ed States Senate and an avowed candidate for president of the United States. We refer to Senator A. 15. Cum mins of jowa. Cummins, the one republican politician in Iowa whose political existence has for years depended upon the aid and succor he received from the Iosva democracy. Without the assist ance of his progressive democratic friends he would have been de feated for the office of Governor by Geo. D. I'erkrns. Without a goodly number of democratic votes he would have been badly defeated in the race for the sen ate. On the tariff and trust ues tions he has invariably found himself more in harmony with the views of the democratic members of congress than with those of his republican colleagues. The best policies he ever advocated were .ip;ro;'.r;.'.U l ..r.i the democratic .larly and it v;"s due to hii 'i'.vo :ary of 'Jk:: o-'.rcri.'f r.ieas ll'es tin1.', the democrats of Iowa ei:;ende'I a iKl:.ng lianil at a .irac vlu.M il was sorely needed, liut after he had coined the in dependent democratic vote of Iowa into personal political capi tal ; after he had profited by the liberal and broad minded views of a considerable number of the members of the opposite political party, he comes out with a state ment which brands him not only an ingrate, but a narrow, self seeking partisan, who places par ty before duty to country, and shows himself entirely lacking in the elements which are naturally expected in a man who poses as a statesman. Homer Moore of North Albany, went to Corvallis this afternoon on a business trip. Mrs. Allie D. Anderson went to Gaston this afternoon to visit relatives for a few days, Mr. and Mrs. A. Haines, of Eu gene, were visiting friends in Albany Sunday afternoon. KEEP UP WITH THE PROGRESS OF THE WORLD Welden B. Cooke THE MARATHON BIRD-MAN AT .$ryant9 Park Albany SATURDAY AND SUNDAY JUNE 1ST AND 2ND Special Railroad Rates May Be Secured Admission 50c, Children 25c - 2:00 P. M. I All indictments against him having been dismissed by Super ior Judge Lawlor, former Mayor Eugene Schmitz of San Francisco announces that he will re-enter the game of politics. Just how well the former Mayor will be received by the Californ ians, after spending five years of his life in states prison, is of course a matter of speculatiop, but we venture the prediction that the people of San Francisco will have something to sav, and that it will be said in very decided lasigiin'jc, when Schmitz again demands the support of the people for a mu nicipal office. ALBANY MASONS WILL HELP DEDICATE TEMPLE Plan to Run Special Train to Corvallis on June 6th Meeting With Favor, A special train, carrying one hun dred and fifty members of the local Masonic Lodge to Corvallis on June 6th, is the plan now proposed by some of the leading members of the lodge in this city.

S. JOHNSON FILES SUIT FOR DAMAGES HERE TODAY When VV. S. Johnson bought a farm from G. R. Whitlois and Mittic 15. Whitlois in July, 1908, he paid for 135 acres, trading in a 20-acre farm near Millers for $1600, and paying the balance in cash at $65 an acre, making the total price paid $8775.

Automatic Spring Draft operates only Disengaging Pawls. The wheel pawls when needed. No tendency to lift cutter bar off ground whon under unusual b train as when striking an obstacle. Saves hay, driver, team and machine. Used on. Adriance Buckeye only. Steel Wearing Plates for each clip and above and below knife head. Give long life to parts. Found only on Adriance Buckeye Mower$. Brass Boxes for Crank Shaft. Brass boxes at each end of crank shaft. Others have only one and some none at all. Our Pitman box is brass also. Buckeye boxes wear longest. Internal Gear. Crank shaft is driven by internal spur gear instead of an external bevel gear as in others. Spur gear runs easier on high speed and with no end thrust and an internal gear engages more teeth of the pinion at one time. Our slow gears are bevel, making the Buckeye combin ation lightest running and. of longest life. We Carry a Complete WALDO ANDERSON & SON Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

A gradual increase will be mad? in the rates until they are high enough to warrant the manage- ment in contracting for a full G and complete press service. ' In the meantime it will be our purpose to give our subscribers a good, readable newspaper, which will be enlarged to a seven col- mmn sheet in the near future. S DEMOCRAT PUB. CO.
