11 tt tiff 1 n 8 DAH.Y CAPITA JOUBNAL, SALEM. OBEGON, SATURDAY, KOVEMBEB 10, 190 THE NEWSPAPRS AND f THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (Written fortiihe Jlaturday Journal.) It has .been mentioned to me that topics wherein an abstract gonso may 'enter Is not always tho most rcadablo Sfor tho general public. That tho news paper readers want reading matter much like they want shows to bo some thing which can be enjoyed without any effort on their part to understand. While this be true, it cannot but render the newspaper of little import ance to tho literary world, and of pass ing concern to tho reading world .which knows nothing of the standard 'literature. It is said thcro are many 'noted public men who never read a newspaper. Many great literary men 'aro reputed io have never read tho newspapers of their day. "Was it be causo of tho prevailing sentiment of Iho public ngainst anything but light, so-called, reading mntter, which ren dered tho paper useless to tho real reader, and a financial matter to the printer! If tho newspapers cater to Jho " light V reading matter entirely, Tit loses its hold on n large class of 'readers who will be compelled to seek other channels for what they want. However, it appears that tho newspa per of today realizes this great ques i 'tion before it, and attempts to cater to both classes of readers. Wo find to lock tho back door, or put tho cat out. Tho children had to get homo on the first car because they told the "old folks" they were not going down that evening, according to tho parents' wishes. Tho cripples wanted in the first car because they were crippled nnd were entitled ty all such privi leges, especially when in a crowd. In valids couldn't stay out in tho damp, night air, which generally gets damp, at the fair grounds, about 11 o'clock. And so on with interesting etceteras. Every man, woman and child in that crowd had somo particular reason for getting in that first car that went to tho city. None of them could wait for the second car, which went about a half minute Inter, and occasionally got to town abend of the first car. It re quired a large forco of carmen to part ly fill all cars leaving second, third and fourth, but none to get the people packed to suffocation in tho first one, nnd usually tho smallest car. Now, what did these pcoplo do after they got off tho car they piled into in such n rushf Tho men, as soon ns they struck the main streets, dropped into a quiet retreat nnd took a "light one," or a smoke. Tho women piled off in tho dark nnd went home, lighted the lamp, sighed, "didn't that Mrs, started rolling with a rush. Owing to n rush of business, two trains frequent ly attempt to pass each other on the samo track, with tho result that the event gets into railroad history. An excursion steamer captain tries to ac commodate the passengers who nro in such a hurry to take their recreation. Tho boiler finally takes a hnnd in the matter of "rushing" tho passengers, nnd thcro is another chapter in tho his- nw nt Annrii.nti ntnnmhnnHTirT- Tlufr more of this later on, "when we have moro time." FRED It. WATERS. Salem, November 18, 1904. THE VALUE OF CHABCOAL. Is tho light nnd tho heavy hnndlcd in a Green look awful in that thing sho crisp, brief nnd readable manner. It hns been said quite recently that tho newspaper hns passed out of its "yellow" spell nnd hns been nbly ro llcvoil by tho magazine and that tho great papers in New York nro discard ing entirely Jts supplements nnd col ored pages, which contained yellow nonsense, nnd liavo replaced it all with what thoy call good, sound, roltnblo reading matter. Tho United States is a romarkablo country any way you look nt" it. It is n great freo country, crowded with slaves. Tho American peoplo, noted for their spendthrift habits, nro in tho most nbject slavery. "Where, oh I where," shrieks tho wild-eyed Fourth of July orator, "do you find free countries if not in tho United States?" Americans nro slaves to a great, big, little bit of a thing, put into English with four letters R-U-S-H. Thoy aro not only slaves to this giant, but to all its satellites, commonly known ns pell mell, get- thcro, hurry-up, can't-wnit, thoughtlessness, and numerous others whoso names aro not as yet rccordod in tho bluo book. Unvo you ever seen tho American pcoplo when they wero being rushed! You must hnve, for thoy aro novor any other way. They rush in, and then they rush out. No variety. They rush up and rush down. Samo thing. Eat in a rush, walk in n rush, a few sleep in n rush, and all in the dash. Did you ever seo tho crowds get on the street curs at tho fair grounds last fnirf Did you ever notico that tho whole crowd, Including men, women, children, orphans, cripples and inva lids, all mndo a bee-lino for the first carf ' Thcro wero three other cars ly ing empty on tho trnck behind this one, but no one saw them. Tho idea of gutting thorn' first predominated the crowd. Tho men had to get to town first, after loitering about the grounds nil evening long, to get a smoke, n lomonmle, or homo before tho "old lady" locked them out. The women had to get home on that first enr be eaviso they left Willio all alone with the lightliuruing. They had forgotten had on,' and pretty soon went to bed Tho young folks rode half way to town, got off and walked tho rest of the way. Those who rode all tho way hung on long enough after they got off to break tho front gato down. Tho cripples nnd invalids, they went home, too. So much for the rush. Now, considering what all these dif ferent pcoplo did after they got home, do you think tho furious onslaught warranted tho finish! Whnt a noble thing it is to appear to be in n hurry, to instill people with tho Men that the world is going to stop rolling around itself if you happen to miss tho first car to town. Mako peoplo feel your presence, ns it were, and ns you moro frequently do In n crowded car, than when thcro is no crowd. In n car you have all tho best of it. Tho crowd can't get away, and you know they wouldn't get together ngaln jiiRt for your benefit, so you must do your best. Make them whisper among themselves, "Pretty work, isn't it!" A lookcrton nt the mad, nngovern ablo rush for tho first car would imag Ino tho world wns coming to an end, or tho election had gono Prohi nnd tho town wns to closo up nbout two sec onds before tho peoplo could get in to stock up. Tho risk of limb, nnd ovon life, so conspicuous on theso occasions, counts for naught. Tho nmbitious crowd can't even wait until tho fresh oar stops, but muBt run a mile or two down tho track and hend It off. They jump straddle of tho headlight, on tho fender, nnd climb nil over tho motor man. By tho time the car gets within sight of tho fair grounds the thing is already full. Those who get on nftor tho car gets to tho station and to n standstill aro known ns tho "trim mings." Tho bluo book roporters do nil their fancy work before tho car stops among the unwashed. This is the American way of got tiug on street ears, and it npponrs like a rush only to the foreigners. We never get in a hurry; wo nro tho vory cssi'iico of mannerisms, so say tho American public. Nearly every event which gets Into American history wns A City in Itself Have you over stopped to consider that a modern oxpross train, like tho St. Louis spttainl, is practically a city in itsolf -n place where you can sleep, chat, smoke, read, dino and go n-vlsltlng, just about ns you would at your awn home. It makes little difference whnt you want, you have only to summon n PWt,r, and ho will swiftly and swillrjgly got it for you.

PORTLAND, OUEQON. " Few Peoplo Know How Useful It in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char coal is tho safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for tho same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you tako of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in tho stomach and intestines and carries them out of tho system. Charcoal swetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves tho complexion, it whitens tho teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs tho injurious gases which collect in tho stomach and bowels; it disinfects tho mouth and throat from tho poison of catarrh. All druggists sell chnrcoal in one form or another, but probably tho best charcoal and the most for tho money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in tho form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, tho charcoal being mixed with honey. Tho daily use" of those lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi tion of tho general health, better com plexion, sweeter brenth and purer blood, and tho beauy of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on tho contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of tho benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad viso Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom ach and bowels, and to clear the com plexion and purify tho breath, mouth and throat; I also bellovo the liver it groatly benefited by the dnily uso of them; thoy cost but twenty-five cents a box nt drug stores, and although in somo sense n patent preparation, yet 1 bellovo I get moro nnd better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of tho ordinary charcoal tab lets." Nov 5-12-10-2G Boom for the Old Horso Yet. Though tho trolley goes buzzing along tho highway And under the blossoming trees, And past the broad fields whero the scent of the hay Tloats lazily out on Hie breeze; Though it fills tho red steed with sus picion and fear, And causes tho goslings to fret, And zipps up nnd down through the once quiet town, There is room for the old horso yet. Though tho automobile whizzes over tho scene That once was so peaceful and still, Leaving dust in its wake and the Bcent of benzine, As It disappears over the hill; Thouch its zipps and its jolts give alarm to the colts, Let us not for a moment forget That in spito Of man's need of excite ment nnd speed, There is room for tho old horse yet. A thousand of inventors are busy today Building ships to be sailed in the air; By tomorrow the eagle may flutter away From tho gay people soaring up there; The chicken may squawk, seeing men as thoy flock, As high as tho birds ever get; But in spite of the things we may with our wings, There is room for the old horse yet, do Wintor Bates to Yaqulna Bay.
