It was a tall and handsomo youth, Most boautlful to see, Whoso flno physlquo and earnest oyo At onco attracted me. He sauntered down tho campus path, The cynosuro of all; ho students stood asido for him JVnd inado a living wall. On cither sido along tho path, Ho proudly walkod between, Aceoptlng homago from thorn all, From frcshmon unto dean. Who can this bo whom all adore!" I said to ono who stood Besldo mo in tho crowd., "It must Bo somo ono great and good, s 'Who has, doaplto his youth achieved Alroady world wldo fame. XIas ho by philanthropic acts t Emblnzonod high his namof "Or does ho sit In halls of stato To guldo the nation's coqrso; -An ndvocato of worthy laws Which all good men indorsof "'Perchance, as a diplomatist, Ho guards our country well, Or as a lcarnod scientist Strnngo secrots ho enn toll." Tho nnswor como with glanco of scorn, "Tho truth you don't approach. A groator fame by far Is his lTo is tho football coach." . - V It . ono. But whon hf is merely after something, and dpes not caro hpw ho gets it, so long as ho lands his plum, tho Independent plays a losing game, and tho people of Salem should not bo foolish enough to elect a ntasked set of officers to ndminljtor tho government of tho city for thd next two years. It would bo a step to tho rear, and not in kcoplng with tho progress of tho times. Tho Capital City of Oregon should have tho comploto sot of city officers, as named by tho regular Republican direct primnrics. They stand for tho Itepublican administration of tho city as conducted by the Waters administra tion tho past year a progressive busi ness administration keeping tho city within ita revenues, yet making all im- provomonts and progress possible. Tho peoplo should not bo deceived by the program of tho " Independent '' candidates. Thoy nro not on a platform as .wero tho citizons' candidates. No largo body of business men vouches for their program in public affairs. Thoy havo not drawn up a definite pro gram for reforms to which they will ad horo if elected. -Tho peoplo should novor forgot that tho Republican city government docs stand for definite ideas of administra tion, for street improvements, for bet ter parks, for a bottor lighted nnd u cleaner city, from a sanitary stand point. Theso aro tho issues, and there is not a man on tho Republican city ticket but stands squnroly on this program, and is worthy of tho vote of ovory pro gressive citizen. There nro no personal ities in this campaign, unless tho oppo sition, whatever it mny bo, injects them, and in that kind of campaigning tho Republican cnudiate3 havo nothing to fear. CLEAN POLITICS AND A RESPON SIBLE ADMINISTRATION. Tho American peoplo like clean poll tics. "This In truo in city, Btato and mi' tlonnl affairs. There- was a timo whon campaign canards had their weight, but tho voters havo learned tho lesson and are loth to bellovo overy trumped- up story that Is circulated ou tho ovo of nn election. American politics havo boon raised nbovo,tho mure personality of this or that candidate Ho may bo a good fol low, but If his principles are against Reed, clean government, or If.ho is with out well-defliiod principles, ho is an unlucky candidate The strenuous man is tho man of tho hour. The mini who is not nfrald to do what ho thinks is right without "keep-lng,-lils oar to the ground," for offect, is tint man tho peoplo mlmlre, and want for ovory office, from poundmnstor to president. The active man mnkos enemies. He doubtless will by Grossing the welblald plans of tho "powers," but ho is jnoro admired, uvea by his enemies for his di rect and pointed course. The mnn who dallies with i twine at this day and ago is without force, and fails as tin otlloiul. The Republican party Is tho ouly or lpuilantiun offering a ticket to tho elec tors of Salem at the present time. Tho independent candidates for tho various ollloos may be good men, but they lack definite policy. In other words they are merely uftor tho office, for tho time being, and would nut eocpeot future pre ferment as Independents. Candidates must ally theuiitolvua with one party or another. It Is as natural as tho vot ers thepisolves become members of n party and participate, in conventions, inoetf tigs and the various forms of party organisation. Tho Independent is a dosirablo quantity ia political affairs, whon ho is an independent for a detiuito pur pose, .imi the purpose is an unselfish TO BUILD MORE SHIPS,. An extraordinary call has been mndo upon Lewis Nixon, tho American ship constructor, and at ono timo leader of Tammany hall, to undortako tho gigan tic task of supervising tho construction of 100- warships of all classes for tho Russian government. It is reported from Washington that Mr. Nixon will loave for Russia about February 1, and will bo expected to accomplish tho con struction of a largo flcot, consisting of battleships, armored cruisers, gunboats, torpodo boats and torpedo boat destroy ors, within two years. If tho roport bo truo that tho Russian government has secured tho services of Lewis Nixon for such n purpose, it is Tomorrow you will lib reminded that Hon. Bill Day is on earth.

What rot to telegraph that at five hundred different places tho peoplo throw up their hats and hollered at the nppcaranco of Roosovelt. Just as if thoy wouldn't do that anywhero around tho world.

The high stato tax will inclino tho members from tho rest of tho stato to mako war on Mult nomah propositions. Their bills should bo considered or. thoir merits, as well as thoso from all otlior parts of tho state. But much will depond on tho tact and political sagacity with which tho dclo gation from that county handlo their affairs, and on tho man who acts right early In tho stago of a debato or roll call on nny measure. Multnomah has Thcro is one thing nbout tho hop men who aro on tho Democratic city ticket. Thoy make lots of money, and spend it freely. Thoy build flno houses and maintain fine-offices.

Tho voters do not want paved streets, economical admin istration and clean city government. (P. S. Tho above telegram to tho Socksburg Buglo was not sent for va rious reasons, tho main ono being that it is not truo.) Clnir Baker, tho clindidato for Alder- mnn In tho first wnrd, is a young man raised in this city, a son of one of tho oldest families, is a young business man of tho best abilities. Ho has never hold office, but has a worker in tho rank and filo 6f tho Young Men's Republican Club. Thai is a political record to bo proud of, and as he has never asked nnv offlco or politicnl reward, tho peo ple of that ward should elect him by tho largest majority of any ward in tho city.

Thoy saylhen don't go wild and go to blow ing in their monoy until thoy nro partly drunk. Thoy say tho pool soiling privi lege would not bo worth much without tho bar.

Chaa. every merchant, ovcry householder, ovory man, woman ' and child wero really a Christian, of courso the king dom of heavon would not bo far away. If that is true, thon tho sensible thing to do is to mako Christians just as fast as wo can, and in proportion to our luccoss will tho kingdom of heavon approach tho earth. Tho point of all this is that tho most vital cleT mont of Ufo today, from tho standpoint of tho world itself, is roligion, for if thoro is nny truth in tho observations of pessimists who find conditions so de plorable and hopeless, It is becauso re ligion hns boon pushed Into tho back From Our Exchanges. Religious union is in tho air, and Christian unity is on tho way, but con solidation will nover como excepting nmong religious denominations thnt havo advanced toward central truth so far that forms of baptism, methods of communion, systems of church govern ment nnd tho authority heretofore del egated to consecrated persons shall bo classed among tho non-essentials of ro ligion. Wo aro glad to sco that tho Churchman is approaching this point of view in a recent editorial. As, for instance, whon it said that "converting congregations to tho prayor book is hardly moro intelligent thnn convert ing individuals to tho processional cross and tho litany dosk.

Tho chiof need of tho world today is religion; wo need it in our officials, high and low; wo need it in our votors; wo nood it in our rich nnd poor; wo need it in our stores and factories; wo need it on our streets; wo need it In ofllco nnd study and studio; wo need it in sooloty; wo need it in iho newspapers and In our literature; wo need it in our amusements; wo need it in our schools and colleges; wo need it in our homes; wo need it most of all iu our churches. Tho Unlvorsalist Loader. Corby and Allen Forward aro spoken of man. Wo make a great mistake when wo think that Christianity hns Avon Its way iu tho earth becauso its preachers havo boon such strong logioinns. Tho secret uf its powor and its triumph hns been that it has actually done something for men in tho transformation and ro-crca Hon of tho inuor life of thought, do slro nnd purpose. It has brough peace and strength ami life. No matter how much discredit skeptics throw upon documents, so long ns men by follow ing the directions of thoso documents come to a spiritual oxporionco that purifies and expands nnd vitalizes their souls. Christianity isinnssnllable, and the spiritual exporleneo reflects back a now and strong evidence upon tho documents. But, it is said, this spiritual expo rienoo is ouly valid for tho individual soul that shares it. It cannot bo im parted to nuothor. That is certainly true. But it is also truo that tho soul that is bom from nbovo bears a wit ness to the irutu iu the cerluiuty uud intensity of ita conictlon that is of tho highest momcut in propagatiug ita own convictions. Carlyle truty says; "Soul is kindled by soul, and to teach roligion the ono thing needful ia to find a man who has religion." Tho Watch that each fraction of tho church hns played in its development." Tho Christian Register. Tho Indifferent Bridegroom. Dr. Gronfoll on Labrador, in Leslie's Monthly Mngazino for December. Tho nbsonco of all conventionalities and restrictions in Labrador is also very refreshing. A peripatetic minis tor was called on at a place known as Spotted Islands to marry a couple who woro awaiting a chanco for tno cero- mony. Tho bridegroom wns an oldorly man, who was a kind of king in the place. When the minister arrived at tho island ho found all tho 'islanders as sembled in tho littlo school room nwait ing him. It wns not until ho nctually entered tho building that ho discovered that tho bride was tho deceased wife's sister. This being n forbidden relation ship, ho refused to proceed, whereupon the intending bridegroom remarked: "Nover mind," mister," Ono of these othors will do." So, turning to tho ex pectant crowd, ho selected a suitablo partner, nnd sho being will in, "nil wont as gaily as a marriage bell."
