PHONE 96 ALBANY, OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27 DEMOCRACY AND COURTESY A writer who has been "autohoboing" over the country for the past four years, and who has in thai time covered pretty thoroughly the main roads and the towns situate thereon in 33 states, tells woeful stories of the discourtesy und incompetence .of the merchants and hotelkeep'ers. Not all the bad ones are in the small towns, either; One of his stories runs: "A rather distinguished English journtlist who has been lecturing in the country, the best and most thoughtful of good fellows, was buying cigars at a small side-street shop in New York the other day, and as the clerk slammed down the change. Sir John abstractedly said, 'Thank you.' The clerk retorted: 'What the hell you getting sarcastic about? I give you your change as quick as I could.' " An article in another magazine by a diplomat's wife says: "The relations between people and their servants in Denmark are very civilized. The servants understand that respect does not mean servility, and the most aristo cratic of the Danish landowners makes a point of giving a great dinner on the anniversary of any of his old servants, at which his family and friends assist without a trace of condescension." Somehow or other in America people have never learn ed that each and every one of us is in some degree a public servant, and that "respect does not mean servility." We are so afraid of servility, so afraid some one will think we are not so good as some one else, that we are afraid to be courteous. . If we could but learn that lack of respect, courtesy. frendliness, if you will, to the other fellow is based on lack of respect for one s self and one s own job ! It is the biggest business man who is most unassuming. It is the woman whose family had servants for generations who is not afraid to be as courteous and respectful to them as she would have them be to her. Surely respect and courtesy should be universal in a democracy. : o A LESSON FOR CRIMINALS TODAY'S EVENTS Fifty . years ago today the Uni versity of- Michigan- admitted Its first women student Miss Maddia Stockwell, of Kalamaioo.

World's Debt Is Now Two Hundred Billion Dollars NEW YORK, Jan. 26 A. P. The world's debt was estimated by the National City bank at two hundred billion dollars aa compared with forty billions in 1914. It was a grewsome New Year's party that was given Cook County Jail, at Chicago, on January 1. Sheriff Peters invited 200 inmates to attend the execution of, a prisoner who had murdered a man. and his wife. The invitations were compulsory. They were given to the "pick" of the 600 inmates those who were considered the most hardened. "I think it will have a good moral effect," the sheriff explained. "When they are released from jail they will have something to remember." They will, indeed. And many a one of those 200 prison ers, when moved hereafter to commit some violent crime, will see rising up before him that dreadful New Year's spec tacle, and will be deterred by fear, if not by conscience. A few years ago public opinion might not have tolerated this sort of thing. Now the public is in a sterner mood. Bitter experience with law-breakers has led to a belief that "coddling" criminals does not pay. There is no desire to be unjust or cruel, but there is a strong desire to emphasize the harsh side of the law rather than the merciful side. Excessive harshness, of course, is to be avoided no less than excessive gentleness. As a temporary recreation, how ever, from a centimentality which obviously encouraged criminals to more flagrant defiance of the law, the present tendency toward severity may have a wholesome result. ' Within the last ten years the man ufactures of substitutes for leather has become an important industry. The cheif ingredient of the substi tutes is cotton. To wind the great clock in the tower of the British House of Com mons it formerly took two men work ing three afternoons a week. An electric motor now completes the task in twenty minutes.
