Bailey vs. The Press
At the ceremonies marking the
91st anniversary of the birth of
General Grant, Ex-Senator Joseph
W. Bailey asserted that, "the
newspapers are the greatest en
emies of public peace in exist
ence." Jf Senator ii.-.iluy referred
to the peace of mind of a former
member of the United Stales sen
ate, he told the truth. If "public
peace" as in lerperted by the Tex
as orator means the untjueslioiied
right of a member of congress to
misrepresent his constituents and
give to the Standard Oil Com-'
pany a quit-claim deed to his hon
or, his charge against the press
may be permitted to go unchal
lenged. Kx-Senator Bailey has an un
deniable right to be vexed with
the newspapers.
Were is not for the cold light of
publicity, he wotdd now be serv
ing the people of Texas in the
upper house of congress. If it
were not for the press, he would
have gone down in history as
the greatest orator and statesman
ever produced in the south. If
it were not for the newspapers,
his children, and his children's
children could point with pride
lo his public record, and poster
ity would honor the name of liai
ley. If it were not for the same
objectional influence, it is possible
that his party might have honored
him with a nomination to the
highest office in the gift of the
people.
That Senator Bailey is a bril
liant orator and an able lawyer
is conceded by the Democrat, lie
is a man of wonderful intellectual
attainments. It was lack of com
mon honesty and force of charact
er that brought down upon his
head the assaults of the newspa
pers. It was his open alliance
with organized wealth and his
opposition to progressive legisla
tion that brought about his en
forced retirement from the United
Stales senate. It is Bailey t and
not the press, who is responsible
for his shame and dishonor.
There are hundreds of fallen
statesmen ami thousands of mere
politicians who secretly blame the
press for their retirement to pri
vate life. Their ability has not
been properly appreciated and
Ihev hold the press to a strict
accountability for any exposure
which was the direct or indirect
result of their divorce from a pub
lic office. Under the transparent
cloak of good citizenship these
men invariably lament the short
comings of the press and demand
a higher type of journalism. Like
the ostrich that buries his head in
the sand, the fallen political an
gel believes that the public is
unable to see through his flimsy
garments of hvpocrosy.
A Bit of Primer
Mr. Samuel I.. Youngtree, a St.
I.ouis high protectionist, wrote to
the editor of the St. I.ouis Re
public as follows: I will thank
the Republic to analyze the fol
lowing proposition from a free
tra le standpoint, viz: We have
in St. I.ouis a number of depart
ment stores that pay license and
taxes to city and slate. Suppose
tli.it in the interest of the consum
er the city ami state invite a new
sturc to open business here with a
guarantee that no license or taxes
will be imposed. It appears to
me that these results would fol
low, viz : The new store could
undersell and compel the old one
to give up business; their em
ployes would be thrown out of
work, the city and state would
lose the license and taxes which
the public would be compelled to
make up; the real beneficiary
would be the new store. It looks
to me that free trade- would in
like manner make the foreigner
the sole beneficiary.
In reply the editor treated Mr.
Youtree to this bit of primer: The
cases are not parallel. Here is a
parallel case : Suppose we put
walls and gates around St. Louis
and impose a high tariff on all
goods brought in from the outside
which this town can make for it
self. Then suppose shoes, stoves,
candy, hats, etc., to be advanced
to prices much higher inside the
wall than our manufacturers re
ceive from outside customers.
Harry Hawkins returned to Linn
haven on the morning Lebanon ex
press. Stanley Keith, who has been with
the Hamilton store for a couple of
years, has accepted a position in the
Dunn store at Eugene, and will go
there tomorrow night to begin work
the first of May.
A good sized delegation of Albany
people went to Shedd this afternoon
to attend the funeral of J. Rand Da
vis. Among them were several com
rades of the G. A. R., of which Mr.
Davis was a member, headed by Com
mander Fish, ' Mayor Gilbert, T. J.
Butler, Postmaster Van Winkle and

St. John's Lodge, Geo. L. and L. G.
Thompson, J. W. ICllicon, Mrs. Parker

will also be home this week.

WM.NEELEYPASSED
Death Resulted From Injuries
Received in Runaway Ac
cident Yesterday.
AGED VICTIM NEVER
REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS
Was Well Known Resident of
This City; Family Pros
trated with Grief.
Without regaining consciousness
William Henry Neelcy died at J :50
o'clock this morning at St. Mary's
hospital, as the victim of the saddest
ri-naway accident that can be recalled
here in many years. Death resulted
fiom injuries which he received when
a team he was driving along Cala
pooia street, yesterday afternoon
shortly after 12 o'clock toolc fright
at an approaching covered wagon and
ran away. A few seconds later the
aed man was found laying in the
street by Dr. Ellis who happened to
be in the neighborhood of Ninth and
Calapooia and others who" were at
tracted by the commotion. The in
jured man was unconscious when
found land was hurried off o St
Mary's hospital.
An investigation by physicians
showed that the unfortunate man had
suffered a fracture o'f the internal
base of the skull and that his chin
was broken in two places. The entire
fp.nrly remained a the bedside until
the last and are prostrated with
griet.
Details concerning the accident arc
meagre and as far as can be learned
there were no eye witnesses to the
tragedy. However, it seems that Mr.
Xecley was returning home for (linnet
after spending the morning on h:s
farm a few miles north of this city
in lienton county, lie was driving 'i
pair of newly broken horses and it
a;uears that just as Mr. Xeeley had
driven across the bridge on Cala
pooia street near Xinth street, a
covered lumber wagon turned the
corner of Xinlh street and proceeded
north on Calapooia. The young team
became frightened at the wagon and
became uncontrollable. They started
out at a terrific pace, dashing into the
curb. The driver was hurled to the
ground with terrific impact and it was
not determined whether he struck the
curb or if the wagon passed over his
body. The frightened team tore a way
from the vehicle and dashed out Xinth
street. They were intercepted at the
corner of Xinth and Kim streets. One
of the lamentable features of the acci
dent was that it happened within a
of the Xeeley home, and the aged
victim had nearly completed his jr-ur-ney
when (he fatality overtook him.
Hy the fact that the accident hap
pened at the noon hour people who
were on their way to dinner, were at
tracted to the scene for blocks around
by the commotion and within a few
minutes hundreds were gathered at
the spot. A hurried phone call was
sent from one of the nearby houses
for the ambulance and the injured nan
was placed in the conveyance and
rushed to the hospital. Dr. H. M.
Fllis and Dr. Russell Wallace were
called to attend the victim and they
did all they could to restore con
sciousucss but the injuries were to
such extent that very little could be
done.
The late William Xeeley was one of
Albany's respected citizens and was
held in high esteem by a host of
friends here. His untimely death has
been a severe shock to everybody who
knew him.
He was born jtt Toronto, Cana.la.
July 26, 1850, and in 1S72 was married
to Miss Sarah Jane Wilson, of that
city. Later he moved to Oregon
ami has resided in this state for the
last 22 years.
The deceased was surrounded by his
widow, Mrs. Sarah Wilson Xeeley
and nine children who are: Charles
K. W. Harry, George IX. John A. and
Gus L. Xeeley, nil of this ctiy and
Mrs. Edith Krogh and Miss Dollie
J. Xeeley, of Portland, Mrs. Krances
E. Gjlkey, of Eos Angeles, and Eayne
Xcclty. of this city.
The funeral will be announced later.
Mr. and Mrs. Sig. A. Hayward and
daughter, o'f Illinois, who have been
in the city on a visit with their cousin,
Ed. Washburn and family, left this
afternoon for home. Mr. Hayward
was here twenty one years aizo. and
observes a big change in Albany since
men.

SIX NORTH DAKOTA FAMILIES
COMING HERE TO .LOCATE
C. W. Tebault, of Tebault Real
Estate Co. Receives Letter
to This Effect.
That Linn county wjll have an in
creased population of six families was
confirmed this morning in a letter
received by C. W. Tebault, of the
Tebault Real Estate Co.
According to the letter the six fam
ilies will leave their homes in North
Dakota on or about May 10 and will
be bound directly for Albany. They
arc coming here for the purpose of
buying land and locating somewhere
in this county. They were attracted
to this section as the result of litera
ture sent them by the Tebault Real
Estate Co., and by the fact that one
of their number has already purchased
a tract of land here and who is com
ing to take po'session of it. The sale
of this land was consumated by tl
real estate company last fall when
the party was here investigating the
conditions of the valley.
The families represent considerable
capital and there is an average of five
persons to each family.
CITY COUNCIL PASSED
NEW BUILDING ORDINANCE
City Dads Labored Industrious
ly at Special Session of
Council Last Night.
The new building ordinance was
passed last night at a special meeting
of the city council. The city dads
labored industriously from 7 o'clock
until nearly 11 o'clock in order to be
able to pass it last night that it may
become effective immediately and
now it is a full fledged city ordinance.
The ordinance was gone over from
beginning to end and held up in every
light before its final passage and t!i-.'
members of the city council are now
confident that Albany has a substan
tial building ordinance and one t'"1
is complete in every detail, covering
all phases of building construction.
When the ordinance was introduced
at a previous meeting it was referred
to' the committee on ordinances with
instructions . to revise it according to
the notes which were adopted during
the meeting when the document was
first read. Councilman Blount was
the original composer of the ordin
ance and so thorough was the revision
work done by Mr. Blount and the
committee on ordinances that the or
dinance passed without much trouble
being encountered.

peared in the Democrat when it was
first intro'duced.

FOR LAND SHOW
Commercial Club Making Cam
paign for Increased Member
ship; Committees Working.
MEMBERS WILL MAKE
TRIP THROUGH COUNTRY
Ail Members Invited to Regular
Meeting; Factory Fund
May Be Created.
At a well attended and enthusiastic
meeting of the Albany Commercial
club held last evening, plans were
perfected for increasing the member
ship of the organization and other
renters of importance disposed of by
the board.
A communication from C. C. Chap
man, secretary of the Oregon De
velopment League, requesting the co
operation of the local Commercial
club in providing a Linn county ex
hibit for the eastern land show was
read, and a committee consisting of
W. A. Eastburn. Waldo Anderson and
F. M. French was appointed to as
sume charge of the work of assem
bling the exhibit.
The matter of making preparations
for a "Seeing Linn County" trip was
discussed and it was the unanimous
opinion of the board that the com
mittee on excursions perfect the nec
essary arrangements.
Mrs. Edith Tozier Weatherred of
the Oregon Manufacturers associa
tion was then called upon to address
the members. She urged the Albany
Commercial club to provide an exhibit
of goods manufactured in Linn county
and to hold a bamtuet for the pur
pose of educating the people of this
section of the state in the campaign
for home industries. Her remarks
were well received, and the matter
was referred to the proper committee.
L. E. Hamilton, chairman of the
committee on membership then made
his report. He stated that the com
mittee had met' with excellent suc
cess and found the business men will
ing to co-operate in the work being
conducted by the club.
Following this report, the mem
bers of the board were given a list
of business men who had not been
seen by the co'mmittee and are today
canvassing the business district for
additional members.
In this connection. Wm. H. Horni
brook suggested that a permanent
sinking fund for the purpose of main
taining and promoting manufacturing
enterprises should be created by the
board. He suggested that to com
mence with, the sum of fifty dollars
per mouth shou'd be set aside from
the dues paid by the members and
lhat this fund should be used ex
clusively for promoting manufactur
ing enterprises. It was urged in fav
or of the plan that larger contribu
tions could be secured, and the ap
propriation for this purpose could be
materially increased when a larger
number o'f business men affiliated with
the club. No formal action was tak
en on the matter but it will doubtless
be discussed at the next meeting.
Manager Stewart then announced
that he had received letters acknowl
edging the receipt of the donations
from the Albany citizens to the flood
sufferers in the east.
Waldo Anderson was then recog
nized by the chair and asserted that
there was a great deal of dissatisfac
tion with the manner in which the
club had been conducted in the past.
He urged the members to' take a
more active interest in the affairs
and suggested that the organization
co-operate with the farmers in the
work of boosting Linn county.
W. A. Eastburn. K. H. McCune and
M. Senders asserted that the criticism
of the club came almost entirely from
those who had never paid a dollar
to support the organization and from
men who had made their monev in
Mhanv largely because of the work of
the club.
Dr. Knhnctt stated that he had
heard a good many business men
criticise the club and suggested that
it would be an excellent plan to give
to each member an urgent invitation
to attend the weekly meetings and to
urge them to participate ill the dis
cussion. The suggestion met with
the unanimous approval of the board
and hereafter an effort will be made to
secure a large attendance.
The following were selected as
chairmen of the various committees
and instructed to choose their ass
ciates: Transportation and excursions,
k. H. McCune; Legislation, Win II.

A. Eastburn: Manufacturing. A. M.
