The Capital Journal wishes to define its portion with regard to supporting candidates for president of the United States. The Capital Journal believes in progressive Republican poli cies, and the most direct rule of the people possible in all mat ters. Hence it is up to a newspaper to give the people all the infor mation possible, and leave it up to them to act on all matters- At present the people have only an indirect vote on President, having to express themselves by the choice of presidential elec tors. To our mind it is far more important who shall be elected county assessor than who shall have the naming of the post master. The Capital Journal would not presume to dictate who the people should elect county assessor, much less who for president This paper will do all in its power to promote the advance ment of men of reasonable progressive ideas in government, and men who represent them must be chosen by the people, if they want them carried out. So the Capital Journal will do its best to give the people re liable information about Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt and the Socialist and Prohibition candidates. The people con vote accurately and intelligently when they have all the information before them. . We have reached a point in the development of our country when it behooves evry American to see as clearly as possible what his duty is, and then perform it fearlessly. Above all, the day of partisan and passionate misrepresenta tion of public men should be over with, and calmer reason and intelligence should prevail. i; !, l ' n It is the first duty of a newspaper to keep faith with its read ers, and not be a party to deceiving them or misleading them. It is no more up to the editor of this paper to tell his readers who to vote for for president than it is up to them to tell him. The relation of a newspaper is no longer to a political party or to the public entirely, but more directly to its subscribers. Any other relation is false and misleading, and is not based on mutual intelligence or respect for the opinion of others. Some newspapers will bemeun all candidates for president but the one they want. That relation is one that all newspapers ought to discourage, and by so doing maintain their true independence. It is the Independent voter who will determine who shall be president, and he will not accept newspaper dictation. CO-OPERATION WITH POLK COUNTY. of The Dallas Observer is right in saying wifhout the help row county, the Cherry Fair would not be a great success. The same ist true of Linn and Yamhill counties, the simple fact is Salem is in the center of a natural cherry region. . Now that is not the fault of Salem, but it becomes the duty of this city to live up to its opportunity and its reputation. Salom affords a great market for the cherry crop of all these counties, and the Salem canneries and fruit firms handle the crop. The name "Cherry City of the World' is worth a great deal to Salem, and is a good advertising asset for the whole valley. But Salem is making it a far better advertising asset every year by holding tho annual cherry fair for this great cherry re gion. Following expresses the idea very fairly, and the Polk Coun ty Observer is correct in sayinsr this:' , With tho able assistance of Polk county growers, the Sa lem cherry fair, which closed on Saturday, was said to have been better than former displays, and was a success in ev ery way. Tolk exhibitors carried away the majority of tho prizes, as they always do. Without the co-operation of Polk county, the "Cherry City" wouldn't be a cherry city at all. A BIG BANK CUSTOMER. The American farmer has nearly $-10,000,000,000 invested in his business. ITe produces $25,000,000 of new wealth every day. Ho uses hundreds of millions of dollars of bank credit every cron season. But, by reason of our antiquated banking system, the farmer hoars the burden of dear money. He pays more for credit thnn the farmer of any other great commercial nation. 1 1 1 The lowest money rnles in this'' country are paid by specula tors in tho financial centers; the highest rates are paid by the farmer. The higher the rate for agricultural capital, the higher the cost of production, the higher the prices of agricultural products and the higher the cost of living. The farmer and the buyer of the farmer's products will both gain by a reform of our banking system. BRAN AND BARLEY VS. ALFALFA MOLASSES MEAL FOR DAIRY COWS. An experiment to show the effect of feeding bran and barley in comparison with alfalfa molasses meal, upon the amount and composition of the milk, upon the physical condition of the cow and upon the economy of feeding, has recently been completed t the Washington State Agricultural Experiment Station at Pullman. For sixty days two lots of five cows each were fed the two ra tions alternately every fifteen days, and the following results wee noted: First: The alfalfa molasses meal was relished for the first few days, but after the cows were on the feed a week or more ill effects on digestion were observed, and they were thrown off their feed. Second : In every period for both lots there was an increase in fnt production of one to three per cent when bran and barley were fed. The average percentage of total solids produced from te alfalfa molasses meal was 13.09 as compared with 13.19 from the bran and barley. The milk RUgar showed very little varia tion ort a change from one feed to the other. The percentage of fat in the milk from cows fed alfalfa molasses meal was 3,788 and from those fed on bran and barley it was 3.95. Third: In actual pounds of fat produced in the milk during the exnoriment tho comparison is as follows: In each change from alfalfa molasses meal to bran and barley there was a gain of 7.81 pounds, but when the change was made back again there ws n loss of 11.64 pounds of fat. Bran and barley produced 7.51 per cent more fat and 4.06 per cent more total solids than the alfalfa molasses meal. Fourth : It costs two cents more to produce one pound of but ter and three cents more to produce one hundred pounds of milk when bran and barley were replaced by the alfalfa molasses meal.

A Goldendnle woman lins brought suit for divorce, because her husband traded her off for two lots in Toco ma, and boosted about the good trade ho had made." She should have It. Trading his wife for two lots In any place was mean enough but think of It Tacoma! While congress Is worrying over pro tectlng Amerlcnn Industries, it should tnke steps to protect the burglarg. If there were no burglars thousands of night watchmen would lose their jobs, and the steel safe Industry go bust. President Taft keeps Teddy's pic ture In his room, but what he says to It, when he is all by IiIb lonesome, no one knows.

He fell down an elevator and broke his arm. On hlB way to the hospital the ambulance collided with a team. Castro s collarbone was broken. It may be that a million dollars would be fine to have, but cetalnly the acquiring of it would necessarily cut out moBt fine things of life.
