Saturday Sermonette.
"Thou slialt not steal."
More than the unlawful taking
of tangible property was intended
by the writer of the above com
mandment. A man's reputation
and a woman's jfood name are
property within the meaning of
this definite and positive com
mand of the Savior.
The theft of a man's bank notes
may cause his firm to tfo into the
hands of a receiver. The theft of
a woman's purse may leave her
in destitute circumstances, but the
theft of a man's reputation or a
woman's fair name is far worse
than bankruptcy or poverty. The
loss is irreparable.
W hen virtue or honesty is as
sailed, he that makes the assault
is treading on sacred and danger
ous ground. If the charge is laid
at the door of an innocent person,
it is grand larceny of reputation,
the most contemptible, the most
wicked, the most damnable of
fense in the category of crimes.
A tongue coated with scandal is
the brother of a little mind and
the sister of a putrid heart. A
heart which is not tempered with
Christian charily, a mind which is
too small to forget and forgive the
frailties of human nature and a
tongue which can reproduce only
the vile and contemptible traits in
the character of men, can hardly
belong to a Christian.
The While Star steamship line,
which built and undertook to op
erate the Titanic, paid a dividend
of dO per cent last year, says the
Journal. In addition, it carried
forward as a surplus, $700,853,
c(iiiv,alcnl to a twenty per cent
dividend.

When the Titanic was leaving
port there was not enough mom'
to buy marine glasses for the
lookout in the crowsnesl.
When the Titanic struck the
iceberg there was not lifeboats
enough to carry away more than
a mere fraction of the passengers
and crew.
As a result of the disaster, 76
per cint of the crew and 75 per
cent of the third class passengers
perished, and many of their fam
ilies are left in destitution and
without means of support.

MRS. WELDON B. COOKE HAS !
MADE AEROPLANE FLIGHTS
Wife of Well Known Aviator
Says It is the Finest Sport
in the World.
Accompanying Mr. Wcldon R.
Conkc on his tour is his wife, a quaint,
unassuming' young woman who docs
not seem much disturbed over the
fact that her husband is risking 'his
life every time he makes a flight in
his Curtiss biplane.
Mrs. Cooke does not pose before
the public as she easily might, but
whenever her husband is to take a
(light, she is always to be found on
the field, alert for everything that may
occur. She fuels that it is much eas
ier to be present and watching each
moment while Cooke is soaring aloft
than it is to remain at home, waiting
for news of a day's flight.
Mrs. Cooke has held the position of
supervisor and instructor in the San
Francisco State Normal School for
several years and onlv gave up her
work there last February when her
husband started on his travels. She
remained at her school duties all the
while her husband was Hying at Los
Angeles, but found the strain of wait
ing for news so great that she decided
that she would have to give up all oth
er duties and ties to be with him on
his tours.
When asked what she thought of
the aviation game, Mrs. Cooke said:
"Wherever I go with my hnsbarld
people are constantly asking me if I
am not afraid that he may he killed.
Of course I am. I know the dangers
attending his (lights. I know that no
matter how perfectly the machine and
its engine may be built, the only thing
that keeps him safe- -is his own
streng! h, skill and good judgment.
When any one of those fails, it means
sure destruction.
"However, it wilt do no good to be
constantly worrying and fussing over
that thought. I believe in thinking
that all will be right, that he cannot
fail, that he will always be master of
his machine. If anything does hap
pen we must make the be.st of it.
.Nervous chills and hvslerics never did
anybody any good.
"lb-sides. 1 have seen Mr. Cooke in
several situations that were sicken
ing to those who realized his danger,
ami each time he has come through
in safely where other older and more
experienced aviators have met grief
and injury.
"Yis, I have been up with Mr.
Conkc and it surely is the fine -it sport
in the world. Itefore I had taken my
first ride, I had little patience with
my husband and thought the avia
tion aiiie only a fail. I'.ut one ride
convinced me that it was the urns I
wonderful and exhilirating experience
to be found. To rise above all the
earth and sail swiftly and steadily
through the air, feeling that you are
one with the birds, is something that
cannot be imagined clearly.
"Now I understand why men and
even some women should be willing to
risk their lives in the venture. It is
glorious sport and even though there
is the constant element of danger,
there is the realization that each ex
pert is acquiring knowledge and skill
that wilt make for the perfection of
the science of aviation, so that in
time all of us may navigate the air
as easily and safely as we now run
about in our automobiles."

Legality of Local Ordinance
Upheld by Judge Galloway
This Morning
LOCAL CONFECTIONER IS
LOSER IN INJUNCTION SUIT
Churchill's Attorney is Given
Twenty Days to Amend
Complaint.
Judge William Galloway of Mc
Mtnnville today handed down a de
cision in the circuit court here in
favor of the City of Albany, defend
ants, in the injunction suit brought
last April by R. C. Churchill, a local
confectioner, to restrain the police of
ficials from enforcing the ordinance
which requires all places selling soft
drinks to close at midnight.
Churchill was arrested in April
charged with keeping his place of
business open alter midnight and the.
day following secured a temporary
injunction from the county court,
through his attorney Mark V. Weath
erford. which restrained the city from
further enforcement of the ordinance.
Churchill alleged in his complaint
that he iv as eoiductlng respectable
place of business and that the officers
kept guaid over his place, thereby in
terfering with his business.
1 1 e also alleged in his complaint
that he was not and never had at
tempted to sell any drink or article
of merchandise prohibited by law, that
his place was patronized by respect
able ncorde. that no loafing or smok
ing was permitted in his place, and
that the only business he transacted
after midnight was the serving of
lunches and banquets.
The city filed a demurrer to the
complaint in which it was admitted
that the methods used by Mr. Church
ill in conducting his place of business
set forth in his complaint were all
right and that they had not been
questioned.
! In rendering his decision today
Judge Galloway said: "The question
j at issue in this case is. whether or
i not the. ordinance under which
Churchill was arrested is valid or not.
land this court has no jurisdiction on
that question, for in my opinion, that
i comes under police regulations with
which every city has power. The
court, as far as he knows, believes
Mr. Churchill would conduct his
i place in a proper manner, but the
question is, does tins ordinance wmcn
has been oassed by the council, apply
to all other places selling soft drinks
and cigars, and has the city the right
to pass such an ordinance.
"Whether it is a good ordinance or
not. is not for this court to say, for
it has nothing to do with the policies
of a city. The demurrer to the com
plaint, made by the city, is therefore
sustained by the court."
Attorney Mark V. Weathcrford im
mediately asked until June 2) to tile
an amended- complaint, which was
granted by the court, and will be heard
later.

PROF. HORNER OF 0. A. C.
PRAISES ALBANY SCHOOLS
Recalls Time When He Taught
In Albany and Tells of His
Former Schoolmates.
Prof. J. B. Horner, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, who many years
ago was a principal in the public
schools of this city, wrote to Super
intendent Boetticher of the local
schools today complimenting the work
here and expressing his regret at be
ing unable to attend the commence
ment exercises. Prof. Horner also
recalls several men who were attend
ing school then and who are now
prominent in both local and state af
fairs. Following is Prof. Horner's letter:
My Dear Prof. Boetticher: I want
to congratulate you upon the suc
cessful close of the school year at Al
bany. If it were possible 1 would at
tend your commencement exercises.
You have a large graduating class,
and I am informed that the class is
not to be outdone in quality by their
numbers.
As substitute for principal I once
closed a year's work in Albany; and
afterwards I was regularly chosen as
principal, in which capacity I served
until 1 came to the O. A. C. It has
always been a pleasure to revert to the
pleasant times we enjoyed together
on the school grounds as well as at
recitation. AH the boys and girls
seem to have made history and to
have written their names in capital
letters of gold. It is a pleasure to
think of all of them.
There was Percy Kelly, who became
a lawyer, and is now circuit judge of
the third judicial district. Franz
Pfeiffer, who has had a successful
career as a stockman and business
man. Dr. Walter Bilyeu. then a mere
lad. is now a successful practicing
dentist. R. L. and A. B. Weathcrford,
one a successful farmer, and the other
prominent as a railroad director and
business manager. Gale S. Hill, a
lawyer of inlluence who is also nom
inee for the office of prosecuting at
torney. Tommy Riley, the popular
conductor of the Cannon-Hall train
that keeps Corvallis in close touch
with the Hub.
Clifton Butler was sent from Albany
soon after finishing school to West
Point, graduating with honor from
West Point and is now and officer
in the U. S. army. W. Lair Thomp
son, a leading lawyer in northeastern
Oregon ami a nominee for representa
tive to congress. Johnny Myers, one
! 01 the leading railway mail clerks now
running between Portland and Ash
land. Wayne Bridgeford. a popular
physician and mayor of Olympia,
Wash. Carl Rankin, a civil engineer
employed by the S. P. R. R. locating
the route between Klamath Falls and
Natron, one of their most trustworthy
men. S. Rocky Willis, after leaving
school was employed by the S. P. R.
R. as a locomotive fireman for three
years, and then promoted to engineer
with the same company, by which he
is still employed.
Thee are many others that deserve
mention, but whose names I do not
have at this moment before me. The
boys and girls now graduating wil.
also make history for they will prog
ress. You and your faculty as well
as your Doard of directors cannot for
see tbe future, therefore, you are not
in a position to estimate the possibili
ties of the young people you are
graduating.
With kind regards. I am.
Very respcctfullv,
J. B. HORXER.
