FULFILLING ORGANIZATION REQUIREMENTS.

The applications for membership in the reorganlzed
Commercial Club shows that the organization to be thor
Oughy democratic in its membership. Every class OF BUS
mess trade and profession is represented in the list OF
names already filed and every section of the community
including living quite distance outside the limits
of the city of Salem The personnel of the new organza
ton is therefore all that could be wished to its demo-
cratic and representative character and the large men,
bershp will reach the number expected by the most Optm
istic in fixing the number to be sought.
Three of the five essentials for the proper conduct OF
an organization of this character therefore attained
First-A form of organization adequate for serving
the best possible way the interests OF the entire cOmm
nifty and doing this according to the principles of the high
est business efficiency and integrity.
Second-A large and representative membership, COW
ering all sections all interests and all the citys activities
which have to do with the community welfare a whole
Thrd-An adequate working capital to meet the re-
qurements of the work in hand as outlined preparing
to render this community service
There remain two more essentials for the complete
cess of the organization servant of the citizens Of the
community The fifth and sixth essentials are
Fifth-The proper differing Of the institution with
men of broad mind administrative ability and willingness
to serve having the object Of rendering that service
for the good of all.
Sixth-and most important because without it all the
rest become ineffective willingness and desire the
part of all the members to discharge their full duty to the
community by rendering what service they through
the organization by counseng and readiness to give Of
their personal service and time in carrying out the work of
the organization With this may be coupled another i'm
portan factorthe cooperation of the citizens of the
community who not identified with the organization
as members.
In the progress thus far made has appeared evidence
sufficient to Justify the prediction that all these require
ments will be fully met in this great organization and
that will prove of the most potent Of factors in the
steady and proper development of this community,
Because Of the excellent showing made in the geto-
geher movement and the broad lines Indicated it be-
hooves every thinking citizen to place himself the side
of constructive hepfuness and against destructive and
useless faut-finding

JEALOUSY AND ISLANDER.

In all the wise and witty maXms of La ROchefoucauld
perhaps shows deeper insight into imperfect human
nature than this In the adversely of our best friends we
often find something that is not exactly dspeasng" SO
cynca the thought that the author himself suppressed
the maxim in the third edition of his book Yet how much
truth there is in it!
1t is egOtsm and sefshness of the basest sort that
causes us to be impatient and vndctve at seeing any
else attain deserved success wewon oy The Jealous
eer malgn" is the instrument that teness and vanity
use in easing their own chagrin and disappointment
There is nothing more deestabe than deliberate SLAM
der that springs from envy and malice Yet because so
often oveeaches and because it usually bears an unms
akeabe brand upon its face it does less harm than does
mere caeessness of speanng which jest and good ma
ture lend wings.
The light and idle word spoken with laugh has en-
bttered more lives, wrecked more homes and excited an
grer passions than has any other thing and con-
stanty the source of the greatest heartbunng trouble
distress and despair to people innocent of wrong-domg
or wrong intent
Jealousy envy, malice are wlful murderers but the
light word spoken without thought or evil intent is a
deadly bunderer that often strikes deeply and fatally in
the back of trusting friend

Tor him as he kept his eyes fastened

A NEIGHBoRs GARDEN.

1t seems the very air Is sweet
With fragrance that would thrill the
bees
Until they'd dream, In rapture meet
The dreams OF lost HerperideS.
The flowers bless the cooling spray
And all their petals then unclose
To catch the showers richochet,
When Molly wields the garden hose
The twilight deepens, settles down
The stiffness of summers eve
Has claimed the busy, busting town
That soon to blissful dreams t will
leave;
But DER the grassy, glistening lawn
Each drop of water, jeweled, glow
And all the thirst OF day is gone
When Molly wields the garden hose
Her locks they ripping fail in waves
Beneath her hllets close confines,
The grass her gowns rich hemming
laves
With only rapturous designs;
Each passer-by but seems to see
In this rare sight balm for woes
The world is brighter, all agree,
When Molly welds the garden hose

seat at the dining room table the
drummers looked at him over their

ears, and his air OF diffidence when
he nervously fingered his fork; and

GENERAL BUSINESS SITUATION.

Duns Commercial Review for the past week gives the
following review of trade and financial conditions
throughout the country for the past week:
The uncertainty regarding the European situation, and
the broadening of the scope of the war; have occasoned
Ome hesitation in general business and reduced the vol
ume of trading in the stock and other speculative markets.
The effect of this however, while adding to the undery
ing conservatism has not materially changed the recent
trend toward normal conditions in the principal industries
and trades The improvement has held it's own: and
the special avces received this week from ninety leading
cities clearly show there is slow but steady expansion
in business. Activity is most pronounced in the trades
that benefit from the big ORDERS but progress also ap
pears in domestic consumption especially in the agmcu
ra sections which have profed by the high prices for
farm products and sustained by the prospects for
large crops this year. 1t is moreover shared to consd
cradle extent by the east, where liberal investment OF
capital has enabled many large oans both foreign and
domestic to be taken up Bank cearings and railroad
earnings have increased Money continues easy and more
gold has been received from France Collections are
prompt Exports while not so imposing, still heavy
the iron and steel industry making gains in spite OF the
international uncertainties and urgent foreign buying,
peciay by Russia is supplemented by freer orders from
railroads at home. In the dry goods market there is in
the main, steady distribution and in lines much
activity while exports OF WoOlen goods are large The
shoe trade is moving slowly but some improvement in
present conditions and in prospects is noted Retail dis
tbuOn in all branches is affected for better or worse
by the varying weather conditions in different parts of
the country.
The forward movement is generally Slow and the fact
that there is no disposition to assume large speculative
risks, in view of the international conditions with their
serous problems is altogether healthy feature While
there has been reduction in the volume of exports
the totaabout $50O00O0 in the most recent WEEKS
over Sl6OOOOOO larger than the imports that the for
egn credit position of the United States is further extend
ed Although fluctuations the stock exchange were ir
regular the general underone was frmer and the aver
age of 60 railway shares rallied from last weeks low point
of $7712 to $7794 Sensational reports of crop damage
in the southwest caused early sharp rise in wheat but
all of the initial gain subsequently lost Cotton how
ever was seader but the general tendency of the leading
commodities was downward 23 advances and 80 declines
occurring this week in the 321 quotations regularly COM
piled by Dns Review.
