A WISE COURSE
This n;tl ion is indeed fortunate in
having a man in the White House who
possesses the wisdom and moral
stamina (o refuse to plunge us into a
Mexican war simply at the behest of
a pack of jingoes and to satisfy the
desires of a few capitalists who arc
always ready and willing that some,
body else's blood than their own be
spilled in behalf of their precious dol
lars. Much of the demand that Is
heard for a more strenuous policy re
garding the Mexican situation is mere
ly the cunningly devised scheme oi the
"Big Business" interests to influence
public opinion, and thereby force the
result in intervention.
This eventually may be forced upon
president into what ultimately wouW
us, but President Wilson is displaying
true patriotism and high statesman
ship in exhausting first every resource
of diplomacy in the endeavor to settle
this most previous question. Very
few lives arc being lost in Mexico
aside from the unfortunate bcllitf Gr
ants. What utter folly it then would
be to engage this country in a long
war with all the consequent blood
carnage, loss of the best of our young
manhood, broken hearts and wrecked
lives in order that some man's prop
erty may be preserved unto him.
American manhood is too precious to
he made camion food. If it were cus
tomary for those who call so loudly
for intervention to make the first
charge on Mexican camions and ma
chine guns, one would hear much less
of what little criticism there is of the
president's endeavor to settle this
question without involving us in war.
The leading nations of Europe are
backing President Wilson and cvideuf
ly agree with him in his Mexican poL
icy. Americans should at least do as
much, and should uphold a man who
refuses to recognize a government
whose most notable act lias been the
cold blooded midnight murder of its
opponents, ami should appreciate
president who considers' men's liv
of more value than dollars.

JUST A WORD.
We wonder how many residents of
Albany fully appreciate the high
stand. ud of the local stores. They
are with us everv day. we pass in and
out of their doors frequently, we
Mop and admire the various window
displays, yet how many of us realty
realize the high character of the
town's retail institution! ? "Famil
iarity breeds contempt." and while
the idd proverb is not wholly pat in
this instance, inasmuch as contempt
is not breed in the local mind, yet
thit same famib tritv doe have ihe
tendency to dull appreciation of a
most worthy ph.e of our city life.
The excellence of our local stores
was forei'dv "iiy! ex--ed ut'on the Dem-
incrat recently when a lady from n
Meiehhoting eitv c.illed our attention
to it. She rem. tiked that she was moM
agreeably surprised to find so many
metropolitan appearing place of bus-
mess here metropolitan in the ex
cellence and variety of the stocks
carried, in the modern and beautiful
window displays, in the exterior as
well as the interior appearance. And
she also remarked that the prices
were indeed very reasonable con
sidering the high-grade of the mer
chandise carried. All of which is very
true.
Now, this is ju:it a word in behalf
of Albany's business houses. The re
marks of this lady visitor sets us to
thinking and we hereby pa-is the
thought along, trusting it will arouse
your appreciation as it did ours.
iAnd by the way, here s another
thought. In a short time the mails
will be swamped with advertising
setting forth the claims of the mail
order houses for your Christmas buy
ing. Do not be misled by their mis
statements. Why isn't it a much
better and wiser policy to help sup.
port the town thp.t supports you ?
That's fair.
EVERYBODY KNOWS IT,.
According to the advices from
Washington where they are supposed
to know everything, retail food prices
were higher throughout the country
on the 15th of last August than at
my other period during the past 23
years, rorty important cities ot the
r unit ry were taken to get a fair esti
mate, and fifteen articles of food were
found to have increased in price,
while only three showed a decline
over the year 1912. The highest in
crease was bacon 18.8 per cent., with
smoked ham second, at 17.6 per cent.
The fact that during this period there
has been no appreciable increase in
the salaries of the toiling population,
makes it apparent that the working
men with families to look out for,
have anything but bright prospects
in view. Oregon Messenger.

J. 0. Lee Writes a Letter te the
Democrat Statinf His
Views.
Editor of Democrat. Let the cit
izens and taxpayers of Albany stick a
good long pin into themselves and
wake up and demand that our post
office be placed on the central school
site and not the city hall. Could you
imagine a more beautitul monument
to our city for the next 50 years than
a fine cut stone or pressed brick
building costing $75,000, placed upon
this lull block right in the very heart
of our city. If we put the postoffice
there the government will have to
stand the cost of building and the
maintenance of same. 11 we put the
city hall there who stands the cost
the taxpayers. It the city 'buys the
block for $22,000 and puts up a city
hall at a cost of. $40,000 would be
$66,000 and no doubt it would reach
?75,OO0 before completed. Interest
on bonds and maintenance would cost
the taxpayers not less than $500 per
month. Our taxes for 1913 is about
31 mills and for 1914 will be just 40
mills. Do you think it wise or good
business judgment to increase our
bonded indebtedness So.UOU more:
The city now owns two lots. Why
don't they sell these two lots, pur
chase some good corner. The new
sight for the post ottice would make
an ideal place for a citv hall, and build
say, a SJtMXJU or SJs.UOO city hall
which would be ample lor the next
2d years. Someone has said advance
the looks or our city at any cost; place
the city hail on the school site and
park the grounds.- A park with the
county j ail on one side filled wit!;
criminals and bootleggers and the
city jail on the other side filled with
hoboes and tramps, would be a nice
place to spend the afternoon with
your wife and babies in a park like
that. It don't look good to mc. We
should lav aside all selfish interest
and greed and look to what means the
best interest to upbuild our citv.

Answer Filed Today to Contes
Suit of Harrisburg Lecal
Option Eiectien.
CITY COUNCIL FILED DEMUR
ER TO HOLMAN'S CHARGE
Case Was Brought Several
Days Ago to Restrain De
claring City Dry.
Asking that the complaint be dis
missed, Linn county through District
Attorney Gale S. Hill, filed answer to
the suit brought by V. B. Holman, a
saloonkeeper of Harrisburg against
the county and city of Harrisburg to
restrain the issuing of an order de
ckling that city dry.
After admitting and denving various
allegations in the complaint, for fur
ther answer and defense, it is set up
in the answer, that a petition contain
ing, the necessary number of legal
voters of the municipality was filed
with the county clerk asking that an
election be held to determine whe
ther the sale of intoxicants will be
prohibited in that city. This petition
was tiled on October 3 and went
through all of the formalities of as?
certaiuing its legality. Notices, it is
set up, were properly posted by the
proper authorities, and the ballot pre
pared as prescribed by law. Ihe
election was held in conjunction with'
the special state election on Novem.
ber 4 and the vote stood for prohi
bition, 176, and against, 135.
A demurrer in the same case has also
been filed by the city council of Har
riburg, on the grounds that the suit
does not constitute suiticient cause tor
uit against the defendant municipal
corporation. It is alleged in the de
murrer that the court in which it is
to come up, has no jurisdiction of the
subject matter set forth in the com
plaint but that the plaintiff has an ade
quate remedy at law for the alleged
grievances set up in the complaint.
A. C. SCHMIDT EXPLAINS
QUALIFICATIONS QFELEGTQRS
To the Editor of the Albany Dem
ocrat. There seems to be some mis
understanding regarding the qualifica
tions of voters in school elections. I
hereby quote part of the section in
chapter 7, of the Oregon School Law
for 1913. which section sets forth the
qualifications of voters: "Any citizen
of this state, male or female, who is
twenty-one years of age and has re
sided in the district thirty days im
mediately preceding the meeting or
election, and has property in the dis
trict, as shown by the last county as
sessment, and not assessed by the
sheriff, on which he or she is liable
or subject to pay a tax. shall be en
titled to vote at any school meeting
or election in said district.
Provided that any person shall be
deemed to have complied with the
property qualifications, imposed by
section who presents to the directors
or judges of election satisfactory evi
dence that he or she has stock, shares
or ownership in any corporation, firm
or co-partnership which has properly
in the district, as shown by the last
county assessment, and not assessed
by the sheriff, on which such corpora
tion, firm or co-partnership pavs a tax.
.even though his or her individual name
does not appear upon the tax roll.
In districts of the third class the
head ot a family who is otherwise a
qualified elector, and has children of
school aire, may vote at school elec
tions without proper qualifications, but
ihU lost qualification does not pertain
to o'.'r district, as this is a district of
the first class.
