CURRENCY PLAN.
In endorsing the currency plan as
devised by ex-Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island, the American Bankers'
s
association has added Interest lis, this
plav'of "c'unreijcx "aforiuu nut by mH
meant convinced the public that the
Aldrich plan is desirable.
Anv plan of reform which emanates
from the former Rhode Island senator
is viewed with natural suspicion by the
tfrcat majority of voters. His public
record has been one of faithful and
consistent service to the "interests."
He has invariably been on the 'vr )u;r
side of every public question during
his long tenure of office in the United
States senate and at no time has he
ever championed a really great cause
or proven his loyalty lo the common
people.
For Aldrich to now pose as a leader
in reforming the financial system of
the government, is a rank presump
tion, and it will take more than a res
olution of the American Hankers'
AssocVtnn 'o inspire confidence in
a reform emanating from a man who
lias repudiated every progressive prin
ciple and trampled under his feet the
sacred trust reposed in him by virtue
of his high office.
The PUBLICITY LAW.
The plain people won a distinct vic
tory when the United States supreme
court upheld the newspaper publicity
law passed during the recent session
of congress.
The people have a right to know
the name .of the real owner, of the
stockholders or bondholders of the
newspaper upon which they rely for
authentic information. When this in
formation is placed in their hands they
are belter in a position to judge as to
the correctness of the information
furnished and can judge for themselves
as to the motive which may lead to
an attack upon public men or mca
stires
The new law requires every news
paper to file a report with the post-
office department showing the names
of the editor, manager, owner, stock'
holder, nr bondholder. It is further
provided in the same act that editor
ial matter for which the publisher
has accepted pay, must be so labeled
The publicity law is designed to
protect the public against corpora
tion owned or controlled newspapers,
and the Democrat fails to see wherein
any honest publisher can object to its
provisions.
Truly "politics make strange bed
fellows." Last fall Coiuiic! Roose
velt was travelling over the stale oi
New York urging the deafeat of Gov
ernor Suiter. Today he is making a
tour of the same state urging (he pas
sage of Governor Sul7cr's direct pri
mary law. For once at least, the Dem
tierat concedes that the Colonel i:
right.
F.lihu Root will not again be a can
didate for re-election as a member of
the United Stales Senate. Strange
how so many of the "old guard" have
seen the "writing on the wall."
FINANCIAL PULSE NORMAL.
The total operating revenues rt the
railways for April were $237.3(2,424.
mi increase over those of April of last
year of S.'J.S.W.OoS in the aggregate
or 9.7 per cent per mile of line. Thin
was whittled down by an advance in
operating espenscs ot 12.3 per cent
operating revenue ol $I.S.U,073 in the
per mile of line to an increase in net
aggregate, or 2.4 per cent per mile
line.
The above iigures, conmilcil by the
bureau of railway economics, indi
cate that the financial pulse of the
country is normal in suite or thcl
change of administration, j
Willi a Democratic president, a;
Democratic majority in congress and j
the country on the verge of a complete ,
,.t...r..r in the tnr ff schedules, the
railroads continue to show a gain
over the same mouth of the previous
year. This showing would be Impos
sible were the people alarmed to any
considerable extent over the financial
conditions, and proves conclusively
that honest business has nothing to
fear from the administration oi Wood
row Wilson.

Convicted Bootleggers Confin

Sentence.
After trying vainly to secure bonds
in the sum of $1500, imposed upon
them by Judge Kelly after taking an
appeal from his verdict yesterday,
James Hart and J. D. Kennedy were
confined in the county jail last night
to serve out their 60 days sentence.
Hart and Kennedy were escorted
here and there separately all yester
day afternoon by Constable Catlin and
Deputy Sheriff Kendall respectively
and the officers stated this morning
that the men visited nearly every like
ly place in Albany and for several
miles around, only to be turned down.
It was stated that they hated to
go to jail worse than any prisoners
local authorities have handled in some
time and strived vainly to be allowed
to continue their quest for the nec
essary bail.
After leading his man around until
nearly nine o'clock last night. Deputy
Sheriff Kaudall got fairly tired and
sleepy and concluded to place Hart
in jail. It is believed that the prison
ers may yet be able to furnish bail.

morning for Portland where she will

LARGEST YET
Assembly Park Is Nearly in
Readiness for Fourth
Annual Session.
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
HAS BEEN SUGGESTED
Opening Days Program Will Be
Given Cver to Local lalent;
Starts at 3 o'Clock.
Work of placing the Albany Chau
tauqua grounds in readiness for the
fourth annual assembly which con
vens July 7 and adjourns July 20, has
been rapidly progressing during the
last two weeks.
With the prospect of the largest
tented city ot any previous assembly,
the grounds have been made spick and
span for the campers and hundreds ot
visitors from all over the county who
are expected to attend the session. It
is generally believed that the Chau
tauqua this year will be attended by
an unprecedented crowd. Many res
ervations have already been made for
camping grounds and this end of the
Chautauqua promises to be comfort
ably taxed. '
J. S. Van Winkle, chairman of the
grounds committee, has had a crew
of workmen at work clearing the
grounds and laying out the streets for
this season's camp site and several
tents have already been erected, the
Chautauqua grounds will be the site
of a city with a long list of inhabi
tants. With all of the conveniences of a
regular city, to 'wit: piped water,
electric lights and a mail route to
gether with numerous other features,
will unquestionably make the tent city
an attractive place of abode during
the early hot. days of July.
Someone suggested that a municipal
government be adopted for the tent
city which would seein not at all im
practical. It is pointed out that this
would prove an interesting feature of
the Chautauqua and that on the first
day of the assembly, a mayor, city
council and other officers could be
elected to have full charge of the tem
porary city throughout the session.
The first day's program of the Chau
tauqua has been given over to local
talent. The opening program will be
in the auditorium at 3 o'clock with
President Ellis presiding. The open
ing number will be the song "Xly
Country 'tis of Thee," which the en
tire assembly will sing. Numerous
clubs and civic organizations are to
take in the remainder of the program.
At 8:30 o'clock a concert consisting
of the local talent feature under the
direction of- Mrs. Adna Smith Flo,
of Albany College, assisted by Miss
Waggencr, pianist: Xliss Ora Hark
ness, reader: Mr. J. C. Irvine, flutist,
and Xliss Carmcl Sullivan, Portland,
harpist, will take place.
If there is anyone who has not re
ceived a program, they may secure
one by applying at the Commercial
club and by telegraphing for one to
be sent them.
