When the average youth re ceives a neatly printed diploma from his local school he honestly and candidly believes that he is better equipped to battle wttli tlie problems of life than the mem bers of the school board or any other venerable and highly re spected denizen of his home town. When the same young man re ceives his L. L. 11. or M. D, from the State University he is firmly convinced that opportunity is the only barrier which might by some hook or crook prevent him from attaining first rank among the ically great men of the country. l ie then buckles on his armor of conceit and inexperience and inarches off to some inland village to assume the aggressive in the battle, for wealth and fame. He . soon learns that the young, men with diplomas and an unlimited supply of confidence in themselves arc numerous, and that the aver age man doesn't inquire whether or not he was a member of the niguia iaia iraiuriiiiy, nui .uu iiiey often appear to be inlerc'stecOn . the fact that he has received, a diploma from some recognized in stittttion of learning. They ask him how many years of actual ex perience he has had in his chosen ir(mntit fin, I uttlj.cu It fun ootnt to some business or professional .success in the past, they are in variably slow to trust him with any important business transac tion. Kaittc is a jealous mistress. Wealth docsu t pursue the aver age young man at a very rapid rate. To acquire cither is a slow process and conies only after years of patient toil. Confidence in one's self is good thing for any young man to have. Hut there is a difference between confidence and conceit. Confidence pushes a man forward and conceit pulls him backward The latter is the rock upon which many a young man has wrecked the ship of opportunity. As soon as the graduate learns that he doesn't know any thing about the problems of life, he has a chance of making gootl. The sooner he is able to forget his college days, the sooner he will begin to make progress in mounting the ladder of wealth and fame. The Payroll Problem. Having unlimited confidence in the possibilities for the future crowth and development of Al bany, the local business men pro pose to exert every effort towards the establishment of a permanent payroll. Hacked by the largest and most productive body of agricultural and timber land in the Willamette v;illey, and particularly favored as a railroad center, the business ti'en believe, and have a right to I -!icve. that with the establish ment of one or two large manu facturing cnterpt ics, Albany will become one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the en tire state. To induce a large ami substati tiil manufacturing establishment to locate a plant, rupiires money and the burden of raising the 'uu, Is should not be borne by a 'cv of the more generous and !!ioro proorcssivc cilicn. Kvery "iv'iner in the city should be willing to contribute his share 'owanls a greater Albanv and .should consider it a privilege to rial.e the contribution. Factory cimtriliuti'ins are not donation to charity. They -ImiiM he ti;,'ttrel as a permanent investment. on fct a dollar hack ior every' niclde cxpeii'led, ami jy making a liberal contribution earn lor yourself a place anion; the more progressive citizens ol your community. In takiiiL' the initiative in tliii matter of promoting manufac luring enterprizes, the Commer cial Club has proved its useful ness to the people of Albany and is entitled to the support and friendly co-operation of every tax payer who has the interest of the city at heart. Post Office Elections. In the town of Xeligh, Nebras ka, the two rival candidates for the post office bave agreed to sub mit their case to the patrons of the office and abide by the result of the ballots cast at a semi-official election. The voting will be conducted under the supervision of the democratic county central committee and the loser agrees to withdraw from the race as soon as the result of the vote is an nounced. This plan appears to the Demo crat to be worthy of careful con sideration by rival applicants for postmaster in the various towns in Oregon. The patrons of the office, and not a small and select coterie of politicians, should be permitted to decide as to the qual ifications ot the various candi dates. School Inspection Day. The Superintendent of Puhlic Instruction has designated June 16th as the Annual school Mcct- inc day. On this date all of the patrons of the various schools in the state arc expected to visit the nearest school house, investigate conditions, suggest improvements and make some definite plans for the future.. .The schools of Oregon are no better or no ' worse than the schools of other states. There is always room for improvement and unless the patrons take the neceS' sary steps to improve conditions under which the younger genera tion, receive their, instruction, no progress will be made. Every resident of Linn county who believes in the proper edu cation of the young should make it a point to vis.t the schools on June loth and make some sugges tion .which may assist in incrcas ing the efficiency of the common schools of Oregon. Miss Wilcox, of the cloak depart ment of Young's store left yesterday for Portland where she will spend few days visiting with friends and at tending the Rose festival.

THE GATES-QUARTZVILLE ROAD WAS DISCUSSED New Wagon Road in Benton Co. Proposed and Club Urged to Support Movement. At one of the best attended meet ings of the Albany Commercial club held during the past month a large volume of important, business was transacted last eevning. The meeting was called to or"der by Vice-President F. P. Nutting and af ter the minutes of the previous meet ing were read and approved the rout ine work of the club was disposed of by the board. One of the most important matters under discussion was the construc tion of a proposed road from Albany to the'-timber belt. Manager Stewart read brief extracts from .three Lebanon newspapers, all of which agreed that Mr. Andrew Por ter in his talk at a Lebanon banquet had said that he would build his road from Albany through Lebanon to his timber on the Santiam. Mr. Hammer brouerht up the matter of -the improvement of the road from Uates into the ypartzvtlle mining dis trict and Mr. Gilbert also urged that the club should use its influence to wards getting a new road opened up near Mr. Vanderpool's in Benton county. Both matters were referred to committee on good roads. PROMINENT GRANGER FAVORS IDEA OF COUNTY PARK Commends Suggestions Con tained in Recent issue of Democrat; Urges Action. Editor .Democrat: s - We wish to commend you for the position you have taken in regard to the court house square. Would it not be a healthful and a pleasant place for the many children of Albany to have their evening play upon the court house lawn? Would it not be happiness for the parents of such children to be there also, not only to look after their children but to have a little social outing after their day's work is done? Would it not be a better place for the grown up sous and daughters to spend their social evenings than it is to go alone into Bryant's Park, of loiter on the steel bridge or spend their evenings at the schoclhouse vc rands? would it not be an excellent place for band concerts, social entertain ments, etc.? Why go to the mountains or to the coast when you can have an outing at home? Again, would it not be a pleasant place for the rural people to meet their friends and have their lunches? If the court house sauarc belongs to Linn county, we should not be de barred from using the same tor pur poses above mentioned. Away with the obnoxious explanation, "Keep oft the grass." from the standpoint of a large city, ll"uiv is vet in swaddlint? clothes. Remember you must have the rural trade. Remember also that the farm er has the telephone, the rural deliv ery, the daily paper, the parcel post " catalogues trom supply nouses from all over the Union. The cognomen "hayseed" need no lonrer be applied to him. He knows, as the grange song goes, that "The farmer feeds them all." Albany should not forget that the bridge across the Willamette at Corvallis affords the people in Orleans precinct a good op portunity to trade in that city- Leba non, a tuture rival of Albany, has a square in which the farmer may hitch his team. They have their wa tering troughs ever filed with spark ling water fresh from the Santiam. I was told that the city will soon in stall drinking fountains. All things being equal, the city or establishment that merits the farmers' trade will hereafter receive the bulk of it. F. M. MITCHELL.
