SOe FULL LEASED WIRE TELEGRAPH REPORT THE WATER PROPOSITION. There is not much use filling the papers with long reports about Salem water matters. The Salem water at present is as good as can be had out of the river with present filter. The proposition to start condemnation proceedings has failed to accomplish results. The water company wisely refuses to go into arbitration schemes until the city is ready to act. Without some plan for a better water supply the people will not authorize a bond issue. It is useless to write or talk about the failure to buy the plant last year, but it would have solved the problem. THE SCARE OVER THE BRIDGE. It is not plain what purpose is being served in working up a ecare over the steel bridge at Salem. To all appeaances the bridge stands in as perfect alignment as it did the day it was completed. It is too narrow for any congestion of traffic that is liable to break it down under any circumstances. Only two vehicles can pass at the same time, and only a drove of elephants could put a serious strain on it. The law should be enforced about fast driving, but even that is difficult, as motorcars will speed. The next bridge built at Salem should be heavy enough to be as safe a3 a street anywhere. But a solid concrete and steel bridge, like the one at Salem, will stand for fifty years. THE PRESENT ROTTEN SYSTEM. It is a remarkable fact that all the big newspapers that are al lied with the capitalistic interests, regardless of politics, are fighting the nomination and election of Roosevelt. The delegations from states like Washington, California, Idaho and Oregon are to be stolen by the hocus-pocus of the national committee seating the Taft contestants. The rotten element in the whole situation is that it puts the Re publican party in the attitude of suppressing the direct vote of the people, and by this they hope to win. This is the audacious campaign management on which the in terests hope to keep control of the national government. The audacity of the campaign waged by the Taft managers becomes more apparent each day. The people of the nation are fully conversant with the details of the system. All fair-minded people admit the legality of the Roosevelt del egation from Oregon, Washington and California by direct vote. , v Colonel Roosevelt carried the state and he is overwhelmingly backed by the Republican voters. In the face of these facts it is almost beyond understanding to read the astounding misrepresentations of the Taft managers. TWO REMARKABLE GATHERINGS. At the Hotel Marion .last night a group of financiers sat around a dinner table and discussed howto get money to build homes for working people. On the street was a large gathering of workingmen demand ing that they be given a chance to have employment on public work done by the city. How can workingmen with families get homes and pay for them, or even pay their rent in homes they do not own, if they cannot get a chance at public work? It is not fair to turn the larger part of public work over to the non-resident and transient who comes into the town to camp or board for a short time. It i3 a rather remarkable coincidence that this divergence of the two policies should have been accentuated by the presence of the home-building financiers. PROFIT IN THE INSURANCE BUSINESS. The insurance companies are reaping a bigger harvest out of Oregon than ever before. They practically dictate all the insurance legislation, and es cape publicity as far as possible. Oregon has stacks of laws regulating insurance, but the people pay more and more. Does this not prove that insurance departments and insurance legislation only plunder the people? Following statistics from the Portland Telegram indicate the need of insurance for the people by the state: The 105 companies doing a fire and marine insurance business in this state during the yenr ending December 31. 1911, wrote risks aggregating $214,764,844. for which they collected premi ums amounting to $3,296,633.75 and pnid $1,473,591.91 for loss 'es sustained. The 48 lif einsurance companiios added $13,674,140 to their insurance in force, collecting $3,276,997 in premiums, and paid $1,417,848 to claimants. TV 39 miscellaneous insurance companies transacting casual ty, liability, suretv and miscellaneous classes of insurance, col lected $1,127,617.83 for premiums and paid $398,280.94 for loss cs. The Mutual fire relief associations of this state added $5,333, 223 to insurance iiv force, collected assessments of $429,637, and paid $193,419.89 for losses. The fraternal societies collected $1,179,760 for dues and assess ments and paid to members $693,333.28 for death and disability benefits. Oregon seems to be pnying the piper to a very liberal degree. ORGANIZED THE SOUS OF VETERANS Corporal John Huntington, of Lents, came to Salem Saturday, commis sioned to organize a camp of Sons of Veterans, composed of lineal descend ants of honorably discharged soldiers o' sailors who served In the Civil War, 18 years of age or over. He was met by a committee of the Grand Army and Ladles of the Relief Corps., and at the evening rally at Union La bor hall a large delegation of Grand Army people and sons of veterans turned out, and a camp was organized, with the following officers, who were obligated and Installed: Officers Joshua Smith Camp. On motion the new organization was named In honor of the late Joshua Smith, who was drowned at Salem two years ago while coming down to the city on a message for one of the state department officials of the Women's Relief Corps. The officers elected and Installed are as follows: Commander, E. Hofer. Senior vice-commander, J. F. Dun- lap. Junior vice-commander, S. E. How ard. Secretary, W. F. Drager. Treasurer, W. P. Rlgle.

Commander Stolz and Adjutant Web ster, of the Sedgwick Post, this city, were present at the Installation and gave fatherly advice to the younger patriotic element. Mesdames Smith, Lupton and Clark were present, and surprised the new camp with a treat of Ice cream and cakes. Comrades Howard, Lumptori and Bennett were named as a committee to confer with the Grand Army officials about assist lng in the grand encampment to be held In Salem next week. Joshua Smith camp will meet next Saturday evening at the same place to receve recruit and complete organization, llnntlngton Entertained. Corporal Huntington was royally en tertalned during his stay in the city, and all who met him found him a very pleasant gentleman. He Is one of the few Sons of Veterans who served through the Civil War, his father hav ing been in the army at the same time. Within three months Corporal Hunt- ngton was wounded, his brother was killed and his father went to the hos pital with a bullet through his body. Corporal Anderson served a term in Andersonville prison. He expects to attend the encampment at Snlem. In 1911 he was chosen senior vice-com mander of the department of Oregon He says there will be quite a delega tion of Sons of Veterans in attend ance at Salem next week. TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.

It is useless to attempt to convert a worn-out com plexion Into a new one. The ra tional procedure is to remove the complexion instead remove the de vitalized cuticle. Not by surgical means, however, as the underlying cutis Is too thin, too tender, to with stand immediate exposure. Applying ordinary niercollzed wax will gradu ally absorb the offending cuticle. By degrees, a new, youthful skin ap penrs; a Bkln soft and delicately tint ed as a rose petul. No lady need hesitate to try this. Procure an ounce of niercollzed wax of the druggist. Spread on a thin layer before retiring, Vemovlng this In. the morning with soap nnd water In from one to two weeks the com plexion is completely transformed. An approved treatment for wrin kles is provided by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxollte In a half pint witch hazel. Unfiling the face in tho solution brings prompt results.

COUNCIL'S ROUTINE BUSINESS MOST IMPORTANT OF THIS WAS REPORT OF WATER COMMITTEE WITH REGARD TO ACQUIRING THE SALEM WATER COMPANY PLANT. Complaining that a bowling alley belonging to T. G. Bly, and locnted in the lower portion of the building in which the Oregon Hotel Is con ducted, is so noisy tlxat It is disturb ing the peace of his guests, the pro prietor last night petitioned the council thnt the bowling alley li cense be revoked. The matter was referred to the health and police committee and will come up for con sideration at the next meeting. Mr. Long, representing the firm of which the city purchased a fire auto mobile stated that the machine would likely arrive here July 14. He said It was a new car the latest model, and desired to exhibit It for a few days In cities on the coast, and the city gTanted him permission. The committee on buildings was Instructed to renew a lease on a strip of property belonging to Mrs. Ellen White, and which is located near the city hall and needed by the Are department for an entrance to the building. A resolution was passed calling for the Installation of seven hydrants and also leads for two more cisterns. The Bpeciul water committee sub mitted a lengthy report reviewing Its work towards acquiring the plant of the Salem Water company and asked that the mayor call a special meeting In the near future to take action with relation to It. The com mittee declared that It had been hard to arouse interest in the subject and that the people seemed to favor arbi tration as to the purchase of the plant. The committee, however, fa vored holding the election before ar bitration was taken up. A meeting will probably be called In a few weeks.
