"Dollar" Diplomacy
Richmond Pearson Hobson
would welcome a war with Japan.
In common with every other
jingo pol'.iciau, he has an insati
able lust for blood and cheap no
toriety. Me had a taste of both
during tue Spanish-American war
and has since been the leading
champion of armed hostilities
with any nation which may give
the United States the slightest
provocation.
Unless brought about as a re
sult of a great national Icrisis,
war is not justifiable homicide
it is legal murder. A mere breach
of some rule or custom which is
prescribed by the unwritten law
of diplomacy, is not enough to
justify a resort to arms. There
must be some great moral issue;
sonic irreparable injury commit
ted, or about to be committed,
before men of one nation may
rightfully take the lives of those
of a sister country. There have
been times in the history of the
American republic when war was
necessary. Every instinct of pa
triotism called the best blood of
the nation to the front and a quick
response was made to the call for
volunteers. These men gave their
lives, not for some trivial cause
but because the very national ex
istence was threatened. It was a
great moral issue and a resort to
arms was only made after every
other means had been exhausted.
The Democrat believes that the
unlawful destruction of an Ameri
can plantation in a foreign coun
try, and the suhsc(ttcnt refusal
en the part of the constituted au
thorities to liquidate to those who
have thus been deprived of their
property, is not enough to justi
fy a declaration of war. Mothers
can not rightfully be deprived of
their sous and wives of their hus
bands because of a mere matter
of dollars and cents. Blood and
gold cannot be weighed in the
same scale. Human life is too
sacred to be sacrificed on the altar
of property.
There has been altogether too
much jingoism and dollar diplo
macy at Washington in recent
years. There has been too much
said about war and too little about
peace.
The new administration pro
poses to bring about a change in
the method of handling these
questions. The (iovernment of
the United States will no longer
be used as a collection agency
for the big interests. The army
and navy will be reserved for a
national crisis, and not for the
mere purpose of collecting bad
debts fur Mr. Rockefeller and his
associates.
"The Mills of the Gods"
Harry M. Coudrey was found
guilty in the federal courts, April
4, of using the mails to defraud
in the promotion of what were
known as the twin insurance com
paniesthe Continental Assur
ance Company of America and the
International Kire Insurance Com
pany of America, lloth concerns
font into the hands of a receiver.
Six years ago, Harry M. Coudrey
was the president of the l.abor
diue riiarniacal Company in
fact Coudrey was, to all intents
and purposes, the I.abordine riiar
niacal Company. I.abordine was
one of those frvlutciit proprietary
medicines advertised to physi
cians as a "vegetable antipyretic"
under a formula that was both
false and meaningless. It was
claimed that "Labordine does not
depress the heart," and physicians
were urged to use it so as to
"avoid acctanilid poisoning," yet
it was essentially an acctanilid
preparation, containing nearly 40
per cent of this drug. Imposing
advertisements gave the impres
sion that Uic Labordine i liar
macal Company of St. Louis was
a large pharmaceutical concern.
As a matter of fact, the "com
pany's" headquarters consisted of
one small room on the third floor
of an old dilapidated building.
I he room contained an old roll
top desk, a kitchen table, a bare
and dirty floor and one young
person in charge. Coudrey, at
various stages of his career, has
been an insurance agent, a pro
moter and a member of congress
from Missouri. While holding of
fice at Washington, the papers
reported that he had used con
gressional stationery on which to
write letters pushing one of his
financial schemes. To the credit
of the voters of the twelfth con
gressional district, it should be
said that Coudrey was defeated
for re-election in 1910. Labordine
is dead and its exploiter may
have to spend four and one-half
years in the federal penitentiary.

vicinity and it is very convenient for
the farmers.
Frank Slate met with otiite an ac
cident by falling from his motorcycle,
badly injuring his shoulder when he
came in contact with the ground; he
will lay up for repairs for a while.
The Tangent band boys expect to
give a concert and basket social on
the evening of April 26, to which all

Farmers arc far behind with their
spring seeding as the 'ground is very
slow about getting in condition for
seeding.
What fall grain there is looks nuite
well and is growing very fast. Fruit
trees, such as cherries, plums, prunes,
pears and early apples, are now in
full bloom.

THEATRICAL PLAY
Result of Attachment Instituted
by Former Member of Cast
to Recover Salary.
"THE BACHELORS BABY"
HAS BEEN DISSOLVED
All the Scenery and Property
Stored in Warehouse Here
Under Ban of Attachment.
Discharging her from the cast to
expediate expenses, with her salary
for three weeks over due and unpaid,
Lena Lorraine through Attorney L. G.
(swelling, oi this city, instituted an
attachment last niirht airainst the man
agement of the "Bachelors Baby Com
pany" and as a result the company is
stranded here. The attachment is
to recover the sum of $78.60 which
Miss Lorraine alleges is due her for
services as a member of the company.
The play was staged here last night
at the opera house and shortly after
opening the night's engagement, Con
stable John Catlin appeared at the
box office and served the attachment
on the night's receipts and all of the
property of the company.
However, the play proceeded, but
under adverse circumstances for it
appears that the company has been
sailing in hard luck and according to
Miss Lorraine, who witnessed the per
formance from the balcony, the pro
duction was only partly staged. The
actress claims that her part was one
of the important characters of the
play and that it was entirely done
away with. She stated that only half
of the scenery was used at the per
formance last night and the rest was
left in a baggage car at the depot.
Miss Lorraine, who hails from New
York City, took the part of Mrs.
Hrookfield West, the mother of the
heroine of the play. She claims that
she was ousted from the company
Saturday night after the performance
at Corvallis, because her part was
considered insignificant by the man
agement and that it could easily be
done away with and the reason given
for this action was to cut down ex
penses of the play. However, Miss
Lorraine is of an entirely different
opinion but would have .accepted .her
discharge in good faith had she re
ceived the three week's salary which
she alleges is due her.
The actress proceeded the company
to this city yesterday where she laid
her troubIest before Attorney Lewel
ling, who investigated the matter,
with the result that the attachment
was instituted last night.
Mr. Lewilling made an attempt to
adjust the differences between the
management of the play and Miss
Lorraine last night at the box office
but the financial straits of the com
pany would not permit an adjustment.
Accordingly the attachment was lev
ied on all of the scenery of the pro
duction, which has been stored in
the Mullen warehouse at the corner
of First and Baker streets, where it
will rest until disposed of.
It was learned this afternoon that
the members of the stranded company
will leave this afternoon for points
east.
Councilman and Mrs. Henry Lyons
went to Lyons this morning to se
cure some more logs for the Albany
saw mill.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
President, Vice-President and
Secretary Are Elected by
Acclamation.
VAN WINKLE PROMISES TO
RESIGN AT LATER DATE
New Board of Directors Elect
ed; Senator Defenbaugh of
Idaho Makes Address.
At a well attended meeting of the
Albany Commercial club held at the
club rooms last evening, officers were
elected for the ensuing year and plans
outlined for an extensive advertising
campaign.
The meeting was called to' order by
President Van Winkle who gave a
brief outline of the work during the
past year.
Manager Stewart was then called
upon to read a report showing in de
tial the various meritorious measures
which have received the support of
the club. The report is of too vol
uminous a nature to permit of pub
lication in these columns but it con
tained a large volume of matter which
reflected credit upon the o'fficers and
directors of the organization.
Mr. L. E. Hamilton, who has al
ways been an active member of the
club and one of the best "boosters"
in Albany was called upon and made a
brief talk on the needs of the organi
zation. He was followed by Dr. J. P. Wal
lace who paid a splendid and deserved
tribute to E. H. Rhodes, owner of
the new Francis hotel.
D. P. Mason, E. D. Cusick, R. L.
Burkhart, F. M. French, Waldo An
derson and E. H. McCune also spoke
during the evening and their remarks
were well received by the club mem
bership. At the suggestion of W. H. Horni-
brook, Senator Defenbaugh of Sand-
point, Idaho, was called upon and
paid an eloquent tribute to the Com
mercial club of Albany and to' the
citizens for the municipal improve
ments made during the past few years.
The speaker asserted that the pop
ular impression prevails on the east
side of the mountains, that a new
comer must use a jimmy in order to
break into the commercial life of any
Willamette vaUey town. His remarks
were exceptionally well received and
he was accorded a tremendous ova
tion at the conclusion of his address.
Senator Defenbaugh is a former
grand master of the Masonic lodge'
of Idaho and has been prominently
mentioned as a candidate tor governor
of that state.
There appeared to be no candidate
for the office of president of the
club for the following year other than
J. S. Van Winkle, who' was nominated
and elected by acclamation. Fred P.
Nutting who has held the office of
vice-president and C. H. Stewart who
has held the position of secretary
were also nominated and elected unan
imously. The names of thirty business men
were placed in nomination for di
rectors of the .club and on these of
ficers the vote was taken by ballo't.
The following is a list of the di
rectors chosen last night
L. E. Hamilton, Waldo Anderson,
F. M. French, S. H. Presser, S. N.
Braden, J. A. McKillop, W. H. Horrri
brook, G. T. Hockensmith, J. W.
Recder, M. Senders, W. A. Eastburn,
J. J. Hoydar, R. C. Hunt, J. H. Rob
nett, E. H. McCune, and A. M. Ham
mer. Before the meeting came to a close
the members of the high school band
appeared at the club rooms and ren
dered one or two excellent selections.
The boys received an ovation at the
hands of the local business men and
were congratulated on the manner
in which the music was rendered.
A feature of the evening which was
greatly enjoyed by those in attend
ance was the dinner which was serv
ed to the members. The food was
donated by the local business men
and a committee of young men volun
tercd to act as waiters.
Before the meeting adjourned the
sum of $150 per month was pledged
for the purpose of maintaining the
organization. A committee will can
vas the business men today and en
deavor to increase this sum.
President Van Winkle stated dur
ing the course of the meeting that
he would later hand in his resigna
tion as presiding officer of the club.
COURTHOUSECLOCKSTOPPED
THIS MORNING AT 11:01
For the second time in 13 years
the court house clock stopped
this morning at 11:01 o'clock, be
cause the winding key had been
left in place after the clock had
been wound. However, the er
ror was soon discovered and the
hsge mechanism was soon put in
operation again.
The first time the clock stopped
was about thre years ago during
a heavy snow storm when the
snow banked so heavy around
the face that the hands were
Uked.
