TWO DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904. I DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL BY HOFER BROS. dgia RbeL THE NEXT CAM. REPUBLICAN PAIQN. Thoro is already speculation as. to tho composition of the next Republi can stato ticket. Thoro Is no one has the hardihood to deny .that Govornor Chamberlain will bo a hard nut to crack should too run for a second term. Neither da there any doubt that If a convention finds free expression and is harmoniously conducted, It can pick a winner. Thoro are at least two Republicans Who could be named and would make a winning race even against Cham berlain. Governor Chamberlain showed his band In the Multnomah county elec tion by defeating three machine noml aices, and his strength with the peo jplo is undoubtod. If tho Republicans run a factional amchlno progrnm, look out for break ers. Ditto If they stack up Insincere on reform principles. Tho direct primary law may wreck sand ruin tho Republican party, and what Its: effect will bo or whether It will be operative at all no man can (tell. With political power centralized at Portland, with the monopoly of tho machine emphasized by that law, what will be tho outcome no man can "7oreordaln or predestinate." If tho Republicans again trlflo with ttho flat salary proposition on which "Chamberlain was elected, they will Invito the political black eye overal other mattors. Too much Jack Mathews, too much of this or that, listening to bad advisers, or narrow-minded leader ship that dooB not tako Into consider ation tho whole state, will easily up set tho little webfoot ferryboat that must safoly carry the party across Ui6 deep troubled waters, o WHY NOT PRAY FOR RAIN? "With prevailing drouth threatening the spring grain crop, Tho Journal makes tho suggestion that a public jprayer meeting be called. Public prayers for rain have been resorted to, with great success, In Cal ifornia. Tho last tlmo tlioy tried It was ovordone, and that state was del uged. There Is some fear that prayers might start tho clouds to leaking In a way that could not be stopped A prayer meeting for rain ought to 1)0 well nnanged for, and theio should bo representation given the various denominations. For instance, thoie ought not bo too many RaptletB, as they might stand too much of a downpour. Too many Presbyterians might make the drouh "worse. If Dr. Driver Is put on tho public wtato prayer committee ho should bo offsot with Dean Saunderson, of the Campbelllto school of theology. I)y carefully balancing of tho foices that appeal to dlvlno Influences a good result could bo secured. But seriously considered, a prnyor mooting for inlu might do a great amount of good. IT WOULD BE A DEMONSTRATION OF FAITH IF IT DID NOT END IN PRECIPITATION. A regular old-fashioned campmoot Ing at Turner usod to bring lain, but .as their center of Influence has been transferred to Eugene, the power to bring rain seems less effective. Nothing toiualus but a public prny or meeting for rain, unless wo should losolvo to hold a Fourth of July col oblation at Salem, o HONESTY IS NECESSARY. Don't fool tho people. In tho long inn It will not pay. This advice Is good to all politicians and persons who dnbhlo 'In public life. It Is good 1o tho buslnosa man and to tho pro fessional man. Abraham Lincoln will ulwujs no romomboroil for his wis dom, wliuu ho tall: "You can fool Home of tho peoplo nil tho time and nil of the people some of tho tlmo, hut you can't fool nil of tho peoplo nit the time." Honesty in politics Is domaudeil from even the small officer. Tho lit tlo fellow who starts In to graft de servestho amo censure that bier fol low" In crlmo receives who has larger opportunities. The only way to correct evil is to correct it, and put it under tho ban. Temiwrlzlng and excusing public abuses will not euro wrong doing. Politics cut little figure In theso questions, when tho graftor gets to work. He may be wearing tho brand of Democracy for a purpose and har pooning tho sheklos, and vice versa. The thing for the peoplo to do under the circumstances, when they locate one of that breed, Is to land on him hard, Just as an example to others that may follow. Leniency In dealing with public of ficers fosters contempt for tho power that placed them In positions of trust, and Is bad policy. o OUR WORLD'S FAIR BOARDS. There Is a great deal of kicking about the composition of tho two World's Fair boards that are handling Oregon interests at St. Louis and at Portland. About tho only man who has ac complished great results, outside of the Oregon delegation, Is Harvey Scott of the Oregonian, tho only news paper man on the two boards. Thero Is Uttlo satisfaction In kick ing at tho way these matters are managed, and the people ought to be thankful If they are not asked to put up another $500,000 taxes before they get through. As a rule, tho politician out of a job, and who depends on such public employments for his existence, works his way onto theso fair boards, and puts them In disrepute. But that Is an American custom . . .. So on or lonS standing, ana an tno sen re specting citizen has to do Is to stay away from expositions that are made mere harboring places for cast-oft official vermin. o ETHICS OF TAXATION. Tho over-present subject of taxes Is very suggestively discussed in Wlnthrop More Daniels in a paper up on "The Ethics of Taxation" in the Juno Atlantic. After tracing with vivacious pen some of tho humors Inconsistencies, and wrongs of our present system, Mr. Daniels con cludes In an optimistic vein. "Fortunate It is for us that the lines upon which tho reform of di rect taxes must proceed have been so cleat ly marked out, and that some of our commonwealth have already tak en pronounced stops In tho right di rection. Tho taxation of real estate by and for tho local governments ex clusively, the practical exemption of credits and chattels In . Individual hands, and' tho. delegation both of tho administration and tho proceeds of corporate taxation to tho state govern ments, foreshadows the financial re foim to which we may sometime attain."

Bring her with you, by all means, let her help you select your summer clothe3. She'll understand that "gen uine goodness" of a Schloss Art-Tailored Suit, better, perhaps, than you. However, you are sure of good treat ment here, whether you bring her or not. The difference In the cost of a Schloss-made Suit and that made by tho "merchant tailor" will be enough to open her eyes to tho possibilities for money saving. Juet think, we sell a suit like either of those shown In the picture at so little a price as $12 50 The "merchant tailor" would want to charge $30 for a suit not so good In fit, stylo or quality. Here Is a clear saving of $17.50, which your wife can find use for In adding to her wardrobe. No wonder she Is breaking you of the "merchant tailor" habit. l$04Wi!J&M ssm jCUSitfijff iWZ& 'COPYRIGHTED 1 SCHLOSS Bl FINE CLOTHES MAKERS BALTIMORE NEW YORK. "Drop In and lot us talk it over." G.
