Gale S. Hill, of Albany, is making a popular candidate for the tfice of district attorney. lie is running again--; Walter C. Winslow, of Salem, and botn are fine young men of more than average ability. Poth are naturally good pnuecutors and have doni the'r duty vithout fear or favor in tho olfice of deputy prosecutor. Ihe Capital Journal can support either of them heartily for the election in case either of them is nominated. It is not understood that the present district attorney's office is taking any hand in the selection. Mr. Winslow, as secretary of the Salem Business Men's League, has naturally a warm place in their hearts. Many of the friends of these popular young men will not know which one to vote for but can make no mistake. o CUT THE TAX CREATORS. If the people want lower taxes they must not vote for men who pile up taxes on them. If you are complaining bitterly at the way taxes have run up do not overlook that fact. Those who want high salaries and want to handle lots of pub lic money are in that class. Men who never open their voices for reduction of taxes cannot be trusted in official places to get lower taxes. Thia campaign has got to be made and The Capital Journal suggests to the people that they start right now. At the primary weed out the man who has helped pile up tax es and who is indifferent about your high taxes. Read over tho campaign pamphlet and the sample ballot, if you can get one, and then do your duty at the primary. Then after the primary take time, and there will be plenty, to read over the ticket and the campaign promises. There will be an opportunity to do some more sifting and then when the legislature meets we will take it up again. Let that be the issue once, whether the officials are going to make their own terms, or whether the citizens can. o THE RESIGNATION OF PROF. POWERS. City Superintendent Powers' resignation was not a surprise to those who knew the surrounding circumstances. He had fully determined upon such a course of action some months ago. No city In the state has had a city superintendent who was more highly respected than Mr. Towers. He had taken the Salem schools when they were in a state of discord and slowly built them ud to efficiency. When he took them there had been the same kind of a turmoil over student body activities and finances. The Salem schools, under Mr. Powers, were stripped of the last vestige of personal and political manipulation. Teachers were employed solely upon qualifications, and there was no flattery or catering for popularity. It will bo some time before this district secures the services of a city superintendent of better poise and better judgment. From a financial standpoint Mr. Powers is the gainer, as he can easily command a much better salary than he had contracted to serve for nt Salem. o EXAMPLE OF PATRIOTISM IN CHINA. Medicine for the Blood Is Needed Nov 'Because the nnhealthful modes of living during the winter have made the blood impure, causing loss of appetite and that tired feeling, as well as the sores and eruptions that occur at this time. Be sure to take Hood's Sarsaparilla this spring. It combines the great curative principles of roots, barks and herbs, so as to raise them to their highest efficiency in the treatment of all blood humors, blood diseases and run-down conditions. Get Hood's Sarsaparilla today. All druggists. lit THFRflllNn-UP Baekr City la having boom. a building Baker City reports the sale of autos this spring as phenomenal. Teople are accustomed to strangs happenings in China, but few could have expected that the man who opposed the revolu tion and who declared himself as opposed to the republican form of government in China, should have not only satisfied the rev olutionary leaders of his patriotism, but should have inspired such confidence in them as to secure hi3 unanimous election to the highest office of the state, the presidency of the republic of China, Nay, more, who would have expected that in China an exam ple of self-abnegation and self-sacrifico unparalleled in the his tory ofthe world would have been Bet by the leader of the revo lution, which lifts that struggle on to the highest plane? Yet that is the spectacle which China presents to the world. Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the first president of the republic, in accord ance with his promise, resigned as soon as the abdication of the throne was announced. He and his ministers tendered their resignation to the nation al assembly, which met at Nanking, and tho assembly, while reluctantly accepting Dr. Sun's resignation, unanimously elect ed Yuan Shi Kai, who had at the time the abdication was an nounced declared himself in favor of a republican form of gov ernment. This augurs well for the future of China, The change of presidents has been accomplished peacefully, and there has been no quarrel between the two parties in the state, who have been contending against each other for the past five or six months. The self-sacrifico of Sun Yat Sen must command universal admiration. For years ho has worked indefatigably for this chango of gov ernment, worked, it is true, from a distance of thousands of miles, and when he landed in China recently he was at once ac knowledged as the leader of the great rebellion and unanimous yl chosen by the representatives of the republican provinces as the president of the provisional government. And now that victory has been won, largely by his organizing ability and wiso diplomacy, he is found ready in the interests of peace and an early restoration of order and good government to stand aside and recommend for tho highest office in tho state the very statesman who has hitherto figured as the chief adver sary of tho republican cause, simply because Sun Yat Sen rec ognizes that there is no statesman in China more capable of un dertaking the great task which now lies before the government of reuniting the nation and preparing tho way for tho introduc tion of those great administrative reforms which it has been the object of the revolution to secure. The chairman of the national assembly described Pr. Sun's ac tion ps an example of self-sacrifice and purity of purpose un paralleled in tho history of tho world, a tribute which will re ceive universal endorsement. It was largely duo to his modesty and magnanimity that the nort h was won over to tho republican cause, and it says a good deal for his genius that be has been able to reconcile his friends and co-workers to his relinquishment of the presidency in favor of Ynnn Shi Kai.

The horse editor confesses to little faith in that statement, though It may be true. The amity however seems to be of the same clinging variety shown by the welded condition of the Kilkenny cats, a a a Better get a sample ballot and sit up tomorrow night studying It, and then you will find yourself In doubt about some of the ticket. a a a The horse editor has not made any vast sum of money In the last four days, and yet relatively his flnancltl condition is much changed.
