The Friedmann Cure, The effort on the part of cer tain New York physicians to dis credit Dr. Franz Friedmann, dis coverer of an alleged tuberculosis cure, before he has been given an opportunity to demonstrate the merits of the treatment, is a fair sample of the frailties of man kind. Excel in any particular line of human endeavor, depart from es tablished customs and propose something new and you are cer tain to bring down upon your head Ihe censure of those who have lacked either the ability or the initiative to do likewise. The Democrat is not prepared to say that the Friedmann cure is meritorious, We are not skilled in the science and practice of medicine and as far as we have been able to ascertain the cure has as yet not been given a prop er tesl. We proclaim Friedmann as neither a hero or a fake until he has been given an opportunity to prove the worth of his remedy. If he has succeeded in perfecting a cure for the white plague he has earned a place among the really great men of history. If he has failed he is not disgraced, pro viding be is honesl in believing that the serum will accomplish what he claims. Albany has been particularly blessed by Providence. In addi tion lo Ihe great natural resour ces of Ibis particular section of Ihe valley, the 1 lub City has trausporlation fac. lilies which are sen mil to none iu the territory .south of Portland. It remains for the citizens to take advantage of these blessings and induce some large manufacturing plant to es tablish a payroll. In declining to permit any member of his family to accept a federal appointment, President Wilson established a precedent which should be followed by fu ture office holders. It was- not the Wilson family it was Wood-1 row Wilson who was elected j president and it is pleasing lo note that this sensible view of the ! mat lor is taken bv the new pi es-1 ideul. " i If (iovernor Suler of New York makes the same creditable record during (he remaining years of his (erm as he has dur ing Ihe first few months, his elec tion as president of the lAiilctl Slates is a moral certainty. Sul zer has divorced the democracy of New York slate from Tam many Hall and iu performing this task, has rendered a signal serv ice to the cause of progressive democracy. The Ruin of Wall Street. Stock Kxchange ntemliers see in the proposal to tax transfers four cents per $11X1 share a fright ful portent of Wall street in ruins, say the Now York U'orM. Tena-uts will not renew their leases. Lofty buildings will ho vacated, their shattered window panes will lie on the tinswopt pave, and starving cats will pick Iheir way amid fallen plaster in deserted halls whore now patter the light feet of brokers hurrying to hock their customers' prop erty. To ward off a calamity so shocking, a united and patriotic effort must be made at Albany. The brokers, the real estate agents that rent rooms to brok ers, the savings-bank men that loan monev on the real estate, and the widows and orphans who have money in the savings banks will all join in the demonstration. Wall street fruit-stand men who work off P.en Davis apples on the u-nwary weep with the uttcrcrs of dropsical securities and call aloud on Gov. Sulzer. A. D. T. boys arc in flespair; golden-haired stenog raphers that have dreamed of marrying bankers at the least are thinking .more kindlv of boss Steam-fitters. If the Stock Ex change is driven forth by a cruel raise of one-fiftieth of 1 per cent in the taxation of its sales, the plight of cannon-riddled Mexico is a thi'iig for smiles compared with that now darkening over New York. And there cannot be any doubt that Wall street is determined. When it was proposed to tax stock transfers two cents on each $100 the brokers were going to move the Exchange to Iloboken. Now that four cents a hundred is suggested, Uiey talk of pfong to Philadelphia, A "Dry" White House. If the story be confirmed that wine will not be served at White Mouse banquets during President Wilson's term it will cause no as tonishment and will provoke no serious protest. Those who remember the ex citement when President Mayes took a similar stand will see in present conditions proof of two things that people have learned lo extend the rights of the same free action to (he president who occupies the official mansion that would be accorded to him, or to any other man of social or official prominence, in his private capac ity. And the other suggestion is that in Ibis, as in a list of other actions that is growing fast, Pres ident Wilson will take his own course, and that will be in the line of simple and unostentatious liv ing. . Friends of temperance will re joice in evidence that hospitality can be exercised and goor cheer provided without the old-time stimulus of wine. Corresponding action on the part of Secretary P.rvan will cause small comment. Mis hab its of life are well known, and he may be relied on to follow them at all times and in all places.

ST. PETERS VESTRYMEN DONT STOP FOR TENDER HANDS St. Peters Episcopal Church Grounds Have Been Remark ably Transformed. After laboring industriously for the last three weeks the members of the vestry of St. Peters Episcopal church, corner Lyon and Sixth streets, have succeeded in making a remarkable transformation in the appearance of the church grounds. As an old saying goes: "He who hath tender hands cannot work," but however, Messrs. C. W. Tebault, C. C. Page and W. B. Stevens have es tablished the untruth of this saying All three gentlemen have very ten der hands, at least they did before the work was started. Who would have dared to think that a dealer in dirt, a genial pencil pusher and a handler of muslins would attempt such a formidable job, with a few as sistants, of disheveling and removing piles of terra firma. Nevertheless, the job appeared not formidable to the apparent working susceptibilities of these gentlemen, who acomplished their task. The lot has been graded from one end to the other, and grass has been planted. Numerous rose bushes have been planted with other varieties of flowers. Climbing ivy has been pianieu to grow over rue Dunumg and within a short while from now it is promised that this corner will be the prettiest m the city. ANOTHER OLD PIONEER IS CALLED BY DEATH H. P.

WELL ATTENDED Committee Appointed to Take Initiative in Securing the Location of Saw Mill. MAKE TRIP TO PORTLAND TO PRESENT ALBANY CLAIMS Extension of City Limits and New Charter Advocated by Mayor Gilbert. That the Albany Commercial Club proposes to make a strong campaign for the location of a large sawmill in the Hub City was indicated at a well attended meeting of the club last evening. y The meeting was called to order by President Van Winkle who in a few " well chosen words stated the pur pose of . the meeting. He asserted that every member of the organiza tion should join in the campaign for "A Greater Albany." Mayor Gilbert was then called upon and brought up the question of the extension of the city limits. He pre dicted that Albany will have a pop ulation of 15.000 people in 1915 and urged upon the members the neces sity, of co-operating in the movement to include a greater portion o'f the residence district within the corpor ate limits of the -town. He also urged upon the business men the ne cessity of passing the new city char ter. Manager Stewart then spoke on the $4,000,000.00 purchase of Linn county timber by Porter Brothers and the proposed erection by the purchasers o'f two large saw mills near the forks of the Santiam. He contended that Albany is the only logical place for the location of the mill and asserted that Porter Broth ers would locate the establishment here without being offered any in ducements by the local business men. Mr. Stewart was followed by D. O. Woo'dworth, who asserted that the matter was of great importance to the business interests of the city and moved that a committee of five rep resentative business men be appoint ed by the chair to make a trip to Portland and take the matter up in person with Porter Brothers. The motion was carried unanimously and the chair appointed as members of this committee, D. O. Woodworth, Ed. Cusick, Mayor Gilbert, Dr. H. M. Crooks and A. M. Hammer. Upon motion of Mr. Hammer the names of the president and secretary of the Commercial Club were added to the list of committeemen as announced by the chair. Ed Cusick then spoke on the neces sity of the passage of the new city charter.- He asserted that the charter was meritorious and pointed out the fact that unless the same is passed at the special election on April loth, it will be impossible to negotiate cer tain sewer bonds which are essential to a proper development of the city. Mr. Torbet appeared before the club and presented the matter of sug gesting a suitable name for the Wil lamette Valley. He suggested the "Queen Valley of the West" as a name in keeping with the great, natur al resources of this section of the Pacific coflst. The matter was referred to the committee on publicity with instruc tions to report, at the next regular meeting.
