P' DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, 8ALEM, OREGON. MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1004. TWO DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL ft BY HOFER BROS '. A. teio 3r A. SUNDAY OBSERVANCE. Tho movement to eqfdrcq a 'strlctbr keeping of the Sabbath, day has many supporters at Salem outside of the churches. ' f Keeping Sunday ak a day of rest is now Jehjolned) by tho laws of tho bWo ;and It Is proposed to enforce that law. Just what this program will Include la'hard to say, and' there Is general disagreement as to how far It should go. What Is necessary work and neces sary business to bo transacted on Sun day has never yot boon defined, and probably novcr will bo. The tendency of the whole Country has boon toward 'greater freedom on tho Sabbath day, a larger use of tho Jay by everybody. Whothor the cigar stores, confec tionery stores, nowa stands and places of amusement can bo closed on Sun day Is not yot certain. That puritanical enforcement and restrictions are contrary to tho spirit of tho ago no ono can doubt, who Is at all Informed. All good citizens favor a quiet and ordorly Sabbath day, and all do not agreo that It will bo secured by too rigid enforcement of tho Sunday laws. UPBUILD SALEM EDUCATION ALLY. All the friends of education should rally to tho movement to put tho Sa lem public schoolo On a par with the best in tho state. Our university and colleges and academics would all bo helped by adding to tho reputation of our pub lic school system. With tho reputation of hnvlng the best public schools' In tho etate ev ery person who went out of Salem to teach school would bo In better de mand, and got bettor salary. With tho best public schools In tho state tho attendance at every private educational. Institution in Salem would "bo larger. With about ono-fourth of the school children in prlvato schools there Is not a reason that can bo offered why Salem taxpayers should not maintain tho bost public schools In tho state. Tho district has a financial sur plus of about $20,000 per annum, and thotaxpayers have wisely refused at soveral meetings to rcduco the lovy, and thoro Is not a dollnr of debt. This Is tho time to go forward on a business bails, and put Salon to the front, educationally, ns woll as mor ally nndi IndliBtrlally. mates tho value of tho standing tim ber at $100,000,000, apart' from tho timber-lands owned, and operated, byi tiio "stale, and It l Individual tfwnor stilp of timber that' forestry leglsla fton Is especially designed to pro tect. Thoro Is need for It. Tho figures of tho fire warden show that 2,000,000,000 foot of plno tirriber wero cut during tho season of 1902-03 and as tho estimate of the standing marketable timber Is put at only 28,000,000,000 feet, on land owned by Individuals, tho forests would disap pear In loss than 15 years, If tho an nual cut should bo kept up. But Minnesota la providing for tho event. Out of tho vast acreage received by tho state from the United States ahe has sot apart 2,500,000 acres of forest land to herself. From that reserva tion she cut and sold la 1903 timber of tho value of fGOO.OOO, a handsome addition to their treasury from sales of timber slnco the reservation was established. But she Is doing more than that. She is reclaiming an enormous acre age of waste landi by planting with plno, in time to become normal for- osts, and In the meantime Is not only carefully guarding tho growth, but Is encouraging reforestation by Individ uals with gratifying results. From her reservations Minnesota confident ly expects a net annual return of not loss than 3 per cent on tho capital represented by her present timber lands and, in due time, an equal if not groater return on tho wastes sho is reforesting. thoir way to shore, where they woro received with open arms jby their companions, who had watched the ca lamity. As tho water In tfio deepest portion of the lake Is onlyf three feet deep) the accident caused- all kinds of merriment for tho party. Shipping Strawberries. Secretary Kyle Is getting some nlco orders for strawberries to be shipped to all parts of the country at' $1.25 a crate net for tho best fruit, and tho demand Is Increasing, ,. A number of crates will be shipped today and1 tomorrow to pofnts In California.- Salem people ' would help this Industry materially by sending a caso to some friends at a distant point. Berries for shipment have to bo picked a day or so beforo they are ripe, and for long distance shipments orders should1 be placed a day or two In advance with tho secretary of tho Fruit Growers' Union, at his office, at tho head of Commercial street. X-RADIUMS RAIN 18 NEEDED. Thoro Is urgent need for rain all over tho Willamette valley, or tho grain crop will bo very light. The hay crop Is going to be a very flhe ono, but spring grain has tho greatest need of rain, and that right away. It would bo a good plan If some of tho mid-week prayer meetings would direct their supplications for a llttlo wetness. ' Of course, thero will be an abund anco of hay of all kinds, but a week of good showers would add millions of bushels of grain. King Visits Eton. London, Juno 13. King Edward, accompanied by Queen Alexandria, today paid a state visit to Eton col lego, a visit which was abandoned two years ago on account of the king's illness. Their majesties, with the Prince anJ Princess of Wales, drove from Windsor castle to Eton. Ad dresses were presented, and tho roy al party took tea In the provost lodge, afterwards embarking on tho state barge, an Immense boat, 40 feet In length, which was built more than 200 years ago, and much used at Vir ginia Water by Wlllllam III. AN AFFIRMATIVE PROGRAM. Tho people of Salem, and of ovory community, should adopt and favor afllrmatlvo propositions that build up tho community. Salomi.has mndo some groat stops In tho right direction In tho past few years, and should mako mnny moro. Tho now cbartor has boon estab lished and tonds to Increaso tho pros tlgo, tho Influonco and tho prospority of tho city and suburbs. A consus of Creator Salem has been taken, and It has boon ofllclally deter mined that this city has 13,287 pop ulation. An elastic city government has boon oatnbllshod that moots tho wants of tho now wards, and yot with out burdonsomo taxation. Now lot tho city go forward on oth er now llnoj, and thoro will bo a great dovolopmont of public spirit and en terprise In all directions. Lot thoro bo all tho street Improve ments possible Wo man should say, becaufo I am not' mayor or aldorman, I nuv opposed to public Improvements.

The Journal Is asked to print many annonymous communications the3o days for and against tho local option controversy, but must beg to do cllno tho same as the only result of Buch Irresponsible articles can be to disturb tho harmony of tho commun ity, sot nolghbor against neighbor, and accomplish no decisive results for either side. Picked Up About Town. Julius Plncus is said to have placed ball during tho hop game at Portland Saturday with a "crowe-shado" uni form. Bot a dollar It was protty. A fow .days ago Ray Gilbert and J. J. Roberts are roported to' have made soundings of Lake Terrell, near Mo hnnia. -The gontlomen woro In a row boat a short distance from shore, and, Just to test tho craft, commenced to rock It. Tho canoo objected to that kind of treatment, and, without cere mony, turnodl tho two sailors Into tho lake. It was only nftor a heroic struts- Boiled Down. A new York grand Jury has found an Indictment, for murder In tho first dogree against Nan Patterson, who was present at tho shooting of Book maker Young In the hansom cab a weeW ago Saturday. The Vatican Is Informed that a num ber of Catholic missionaries in South ern Corea and Southern Manchuria, to escape prosecution, havevtaken ref ugo aboard French, German and Ital ian warships. They Intend to claim Indemnity. If you believe In tho poor man's col lego, voto for higher grades In tho Sa lem public schools. It takes a man with rapidly revolv ing wheels -to lmaglrfe tho lco cream dealers as part 6t tho criminal ele ment. , r - V According to Abe Lincoln, no man was ''good 6nbugh to govern another without 'his 'consent. But In these days It Is considered that Abo had wheels. Fears that President Roosevelt will wreck the G.' O. P. seeml to emanate from Democrats who have been try ing to wreck It all their lives, but without success. Salem should have at least as good publlo schools as any other city In the state. And yet there are people who will vote against having moro than nine grades in the schools. The best public schools aro none too good for any American city. Thoy can only be secured by fighting for them. Let tho good peoplo who want bettor conditions all around turn out and help win tho fight for bettor public schools next Monday. Tho New Salemi charter Is estab lished. Tho census is taken. Tho city records and finances have been put In order. Now build tho Dallas and Falls City railroad. Adopt the additional grades In tho public schools. And there Is even talk of a municipal light and water plant. . Boy Died from Kick.
