That "a boy will be boy" goe

That "a boy will be boy" goes
without saying, but there are instances
wherein natural manly instinct is ex-
pected to assert itself by virtue Of res
pect for elders, if not through accept
ed standards of home raising. A
case in point where neither of these
influences were exercised in the leas t.,
transpired Friday evening. during the
banquet hour at the educational rally.
"Young America" disported itself
in unrestrained. boisterous conduct,
to theshame and humiliation Of people
who had gathered there for the pur
pose of enjoying the educational rally,
participating in the social features of
the occasion and listening to speeches,
but the clamorous din coming from
the youngsters ehectually interrupted
that portion Of the program. Such
conditions are intolerable. They are
rank infringements on the rights of
society. and should be controlled; If
not through parental restraint, th en-
by other methods.

The Humble Librettist.

In the history of opera there are
many curious anomalies, but perhaps
the strangest is the role played by the
librettist. For the most part obscure
and unimportant and generally unre.
membered, his ranks have neverthe-
less been recruited from the ablest and
most brilliant men Of letters. Among
those who have undertaken the part
are such unlikely names as Voltaire.
Goethe, Wieland, Addison and Field
ing, while others Of considerable poet
ic tsilent, as, for example, Metastasio,
Calzabigi, Rinuccini, Boito and Cop.
pei, have tried their hand at hbrettc
Writing with assurance, giving to It
th cir best efforts. And yet the suc-
c'assful librettists are few-the merest
handful out Of harvest Of three CEN
turies-Forum.

That man is not necessarily a
"knocker" who finds fault with GER
tain conditions existing in the town
in which he lives. So far from being
one of that class he may be doing the
place good service. This is assuredly
the fact if he wisely and persistently
strikes at evils which lower the moral
tone and make the town less desir-
able place in which to live. It re-
quires no argument to prove that the
best interests of community can
never be advanced by anything that
breeds disrespect for law and order,
and that weakens the moral and social
fibre Of the citizens.

To check the growing cigarette
hatit among the sohoolboys Of Seattle,
the board of education has detailed
special officer for the sole purpose
of detecting the smokers and prose-
outing dealers caught selling cigar
cites and "de makins" to the young
sters. In many instances where boys
have been found backward in their
studies, tho trouble has been traced
to cigarettes In fact, it is now Eeing
urged that a special school be estab-
lished, where victims of the cigarette
habit can obtain instructions and
freedom from their enslavement.

Oregon ranks seventh among all the
states in railroad tuilding during
1909. These figures are compiled by
the leading railroad publications Of
the country and show that the Beaver
state added 1874 miles to it's railroads
during the year just closed. The
Pacific Northwest is declared to be the
great goal of competitive railroad
building in the United States. The
struggle of the railroads to enter Cen
trail Oregon is detailed and develop
ment in the Willamette Valley and
in the Oregon coast country is record
ed. This is far better showing for
the past year than was made in 1908.
when 70 miles Of new railway was
built in this state.

That was a good, sensible. heart to-
heart talk the people heard Prof. l..
r. Alderman of the State University
make at the educational rally, last
Friday evening. AS an educator,
Prof. Alderman ranks high, and his
discourse here carried his interested
listeners through the different phases
of school life as it appeals to man
seasoned with experience in every
department of the work. He is the
probable candidate of the republican
party for the Office of State Superin-
tendent Of schools. and should he re-
oeive the nomination, he is just the
sort Of fellow to be remembered by
Athena voters.

In the last five years, the number of
farms in the northwest has doubled,
until today there are 21l 900, which
yielded products in 1909 having a
total value of $404, 100000 The var
ious states stand as follows: Oregon
$4,000 farms; Washington $4,000;
Idaho 100000; Montana 10000. There
are millions of acres of land idle now
that could be put under cultivation
on revenue basis. With the baok-to-
the-land tendencies Of the present
day, it Is certain that the number Of
farms in the Northwest will continue
to increase, for many years to come.

How Sunshine Beats Down.

1t is common thing on hot daystfo
hear people say that "the sun beats
down." But few suspect that the rays
Of light actually do beat down upon the
surface they strike. Light is a wave
motion in the ether, and waves, wheth-
er Of sound or water, press on bodies
in their way. Clerk Maxwell calculated
the pressure of light, and experiments
Of Herr Lebedew have shown that he
was right. The pressure is very slight
as ms.y be suppressed, but 1t really ex'
lists.

"Well, you see," said the waiter,

That 1t is not the retailer who alone
is to blame for the increased cost of
living is made clear by the published
statements Of the profits made by some
of the great Wholesale houses. Some
light is thrown upon the higher price

per cent which Armour & Go. have
made during the past year on capital
invested. This fact does not lead the

noon at Columbia university, in New

that group of writer's headed by Ger
vantes and Moliere. AS a writer"
said he, "he combined four great gifts,
for he was real humorist. a great
story teller, great stylist and a great
moralist. AS a stylist he surpassed
Stevenson and Thoreau. Though he
was never n preacher. he was a great
moralist, because he understood life
clearly and adequately.
"He will go down to posterity for a
trio of his works rather than for the
completed works. This trio will prob

BANKER HAYS Set
FREE BY CABANISS
Man Who Fled State Wins on
Habeas Corpus Proceedings
in Superior Court

Will C. Hays, the banker. after a
somewhat extended bout with the law,
was exonerated by Judge Cabaniss yes
terday from the only charge pending
against him. The accusation was that
he overdrew his account with the State
Savings and Commercial bank, OF which
he was the manager. On writ OF
habeas corpus Judge Cabaniss held that
there was not sufficient evidence to
justify Hays being held for trial and
ordered the information dismissed.
Hays disappeared from San Francisco
about six months ago, Immediately after
AdOlph Tiedemann swore out warrant
charging him with the embezzlement
of $1,000. 1t was believed that he went
to Manila, and upon his wife filing suit
for divorce a copy of the complaint
was mailed to the Philippines. But
February he surrendered himself to
the police of that city and waived
extradition proceedings.
Hays was tried on the embezzlement
charge before Judge Conlan, who de-
cided that there were no adequate
grounds for holding him for trial On
a second charge of overdrawing his
account with the State Savings and
Commercial bank, Hays was tried by
Police Judge Shortall, who committed
the defendant for trial, but intimated
that he was doubtful about the strength
of the case.
In the habeas corpus proceedings be-
fore Superior Judge Cabaniss, Joseph
Jordan, attorney for Hays. argued that
there was no evidence that Hays over
dnew his own account. Hays presented
his check for $1,000 TO the State Saw
ings and Commercial bank and re-
ceived that sum- The amount was not
however, debited against his account
but against the account of the Union
State bank, of which Hays was also
manager and which was indebted to
