THE GROWTH OF "BRAZZEN" OFFICIALISM. Yes, spell it b-r-a-z-z-e-n, and pronounce it brazzen, for it is brazzen in Oregon and all over the United States. Officialism serves the corrupt and bulldozes the taxpayer. It is brazzen and brassy, and it is eating up the people and de stroying our boasted government of the people. Officialism plunders'the people and multiplies offices. Take the late State Assembly that nomniated a ticket and was licked out of its boots at the polls. It set oufto violate the laws and was dominated by official ism. It wa3 made up two-thirds of county and state officials and then a raft of ex-federal arid actual federal officials. They not only took the. time for which the people paid them to manage the convention or assemblies, but worse. They conspired to overthrow laws enacted by the people. Many of them did it in clear defiance of the laws, and then set themselves up to be men to enforce law and cry morality. Some of these same law breakers pose as champions of moral ity. ' : '".' . I.''- ' : ;' ;.! '-' I As Madam Roland said in France, after the revolution: "Oh, Liberty; what crimes are committed in thy name!" Roosevelt howls about race suicide, . but boosts office-seeking. So in Oregon, the people cryout, "Ye gods, what outrages are committed in the name of officialism. The president and all the higher-ups howl about civil service reform, and then use offices to get offices and keep offices. Professional officialism gets an office, then adds a deputy, then adds a few clerks, then creates itself a department. Is it any wonder the taxpayer sweats and the producers groan But it is a great game, and the people seem to like it and hon or those who most devote their lives to the profession. After awhile the majority will be holding office. , o THE SITUATION IN MANCHURIA. CoodSpringTonic -We have taken Hood's Sarsaparllla, for a spring tonic and as a blood puri fier. Last spring I was not well at all. When I went to bed I was tired and nervous and could not sleep well, in :he morning I would feel twice as tired; my mother got a bottle or Hood's Sarsaparllla, which I took. . t uu. a nAa, norflnn when I had nn- Ished that bottle.

FRUIT MEN SAY DAMAGE NOT GREAT REPORTS FROM ILL PARTS OF WESTERN OREGON ARE TO THE EFFECT THAT THE DAMAGE DONE BY FROST IS '0T SERIOUS. China and Japan and Russia are all playing the cards to get hold of Manchuria. Manchuria is really a part of China, but Japan practically took the country away from Russia. Russia and Japan are both in a kind of half-way possession of Manchuria, a country as big as half the United States. It is our opinion that Japan is better qualified to handle Man churia than any of them, but China is awakening. We look for great progress in China and that empire may be aroused out of the sleep of fifty centuries in time to keep Man churia. If China could get hold of modern ideas and demonstrate the greatness of her national powershe would be the one great pow er in Asia. Our advices from the Orient are to the effect that there is a strenuous situation growing out of affairs in Manchuria. Is China trying to prepare to defend Manchuria? Such is the opinion prevailing among Japanese newspapers. It is stated that Chinese forces in Mnanchuria now amount to 100000 men. " i ! Considerable reinforcements are being hurried into this ter ritory and Japanese papers state these are newly-drafted re cruits, but armed with the latest pattern weapons. The Chinese government explains the increase of force by the necessity of providing forces to prevent an uprising, but the Japanese say the movement is intended to prepare for emergen cies, which appear likely to arise between China and Russia. o THE PRESS CLIPPING BUREAU. The Allen Press Clipping Bureau, of Portland, is a great in stitution. Of course, every progressive person reads the daily papers, but can't watch all personal matters. Once a week, or oftener, the Press Clipping Pureau will bring you everything that has been said about you. If you are a person who has caused all the newspapers in the state to say something about you, the bureau brings it all. Good, bad and indifferent, mean or complimentary, there it is, all labeled and tagged and credited. The good you do lives after you, and the evil is buried with your bones, according to Shakespeare, or vice versa. But either way you get it all from the Press Clipping Bureau, run Dy Susie Isabel Clark, room 17, 245 ft Washington street, Portland. Therein Miss Clark is a bigger man than bhakespeare, for she is alive, and Bill has been a long time dead. STATE HOARD HAS REAPPOINTED C. A. PARK After considerable discussion and listening to complaints of a number of fruit men the state board has re appointed C. A. Park, Salem; Judge Geer, Cove, and R. H. Weber, The Dalles, as members of the State Doard of Horticulture. 1 8ome frult nien, had complained that Park was not as active a ho might be and was too economical with the fuuds of the board. The state board, how ever, doclded to reappoint Park, stating that they believed it was for the best interests of all concerned. It Is understood that the board felt potty jealousies were to a certain ex tent- behind the animus of the com' plains against Park.

The Fifth Ward Improvement League had an interesting meeting Saturday night. The com mitten on schools made a report, and there was pretty general discussion as to ways "and means to secure a much-neednd school building In Highland, to ac commodate the rapidly-Increasing school population of this part of the city. This will be a live question un. til the needs are met. The- water question was considered at length, and the committee on cir culating petitions for a vote on the proposition wag Instructed to proceed with the work. The following was adopted by the league, and the sec retary Instructed to present a copy to each of the daily papers of the city. A Well System of Water Supply. Some of the reasons for a well system for the city of Salem: 1. An adequate supply of good, pure water from a well system would be & practical certainty. 2. A well plant could be Installed at comparatively small cost, not to exceed $200,000. This Judgment is based upon what Is done In other cities. 3. .A water plant at small cost means wafer to consumer at small cost. - , 4. The coet of a well system can be estimated with practical deflnite ness In advance. Not so a mountain water gravity system, with its many miles of intake pipe, headwater res ervoirs, provisions against floods, filter plants, etc. Experience pf other cities has been that the final cost of a long gravity system is large ly in the air. By placing estimates too low, the people have been in. duced to enter upon, extravagantly ex pensive enterprises, and found It nec essary later on to double, ior largely increase the expenditures in order to realize on the outlay. And water must he sold to the consumer at a correspondingly high rate. The well systems of other cities show practi cally the: limit of necessary cost. As to filtering Willamette river water, be it said, this water has a bad name, and a filter will not give it a good name. A Model Plant. At Marlon, Indiana, Is located a well plant that is a model in design and utility. It has 14 wells, rang ing from 120 to 250 feet deep, all pumped by an air compressor, which is capable; of throwing 5,000,000 gal lons dally. It has 38 miles of water main, with a sufficient air pressure and pump force to afford ample fire protection to all points of the city, by merely hitching a hose to a hy. drant, f which there are 320 in the town. The average daily pumping Is about 1,500,000. The plant has redeemed $84,000 of bonds, and still has outstanding $38,500, which constitutes Its entire Indebtedness. The plant furnishes free water to all the public buildings, Including the churches, and sells to the consumer at $4 a year for domestic use (with extra charge for extra use), and from tnis income pays its operating ex penses, meets the bonds and Interest makes Its own extensions, without cost to property, and has a surplus each year for emergencies. These facts are taken from a "His. tory of tl-e Marlon Water Works," a oopy of which we have before, us. A letter just received from the super intendent says the history covers the points of the plant, and that the plant affords an abundance of water for all purposes. Why not have such a plant In Sa lem? There Is now In circulation an Ini tiative petition for a well system fir our city, the question to be voted on at the city election In December. ENOS PRESNALL, Chairman. L. D. RATLIFF, Secretary. o COLT BORN WITH The Democrats In congress treat ed the West shabby,' says the Ore. gonian. Well, anyway, the West, as far as Oregon is concerned, played even. It looks as though the Investigation of the wholesale bribery case In the Danville, Illinois, congressional dis trict, was going to put Uncle Joe In the Lorimer class. Ex-Governor Folk, of Missouri, spoke at Hood River Saturday night, scoring American girls who buy titled ruabands. This is a hunch that the Hood River girls are getting In the millionaire class, and shows what nn Oregon apple orchard! can do. What Salem needs In the street car way is not more conductors, but tome more cars, and some kind of a service that does not make one wait 25 min utes for cars supposed to run ut 15 minute intervals. The Easter hats pleased the horse editor all right, but they were out classed by what was under them, . o ' STRAIN TOO GREAT Hnndreds of Salem Readers Find Dally Toil a Burden.
