Phone Main 82. A BUEDEN TO EVERYBODY. GENTLKMAN evidently a friend A of the city administration, sug gested to The Capital Journal man that street paving matters concerned only the persona along the paved streets who paid for tho same, and that if they stood for tho paving work, it was no one's clue business. This proposition might under some circumstances liavo somo merit in it, but in this enso iB ab solutely incorrect. It is as much the duty of a newspaper to point out threat ened danger to a subscriber living on a paved street, as to one in the suburbs, and Tho Capital Journal has a goodly number of such subscribers. A news paper is in a largo senso tlio guardian of tho people's riglits. It is its duty to keep posted as to all public mntters, and to in turn pass its Information on to its readers. The averngo every day ninn is busy making a living attending to his business, and relying upon his local newspapers to keep him posted on local affairs. That is a largo part of tho newspaper's business, and that is what its renders pay it for furnishing them. The man on tho paved streets needs this information probably nioro than tlio other man In tho suburbs. Anyway it looks that way to ub in view of the I act that tho city engineer says the concrete pavement heretofore liiiil for theso gentlemen is defective from bud proportions nod improper mixing, This is pretty tough on the property owner who has paid for having the pav ing done, but it is tougher by consider able on those who liavo no street pav ing. Tho property owner having made the street improvement as required is done. He rnnnot bo mndo to keep It in repair. Ho has paid for it, and the city owns it. The paradoxical thing about it is, that the cost is added to the value of his property, and he must pay taxes on tho street paving forever. The city, however, must keep the street in repair and the taxes for this purpose lire paid by the entire property of tho city. It will be seen from this that it is nut the owners of property abutting on the paved streets Hint are interested in having the paving first class, but every properly owner ill the city Is just as much interested in it In proportion to his property values, as those owning the abutting properly, This is one of the urgent reasons why the city council should Invariably re qniro a bond from the paving enmpn nies, to maintain the pavements mid keep them in repair for a given number of yeam. It Is not for tho protection of tho abutting properly owners, but for the protection of all tho taxpayers with In the city. To go further it is for tin protection, of every person who even rents a house in the city for the renter pays the lux. If the street needs re pairing, tlio money must be paid by the city at large, But them is Mill another side to this street paving business, due third of the property owners, or rather the own ers of one third of the property on a street, can petition the city council to pavo that street, The other two-thirds can suck their fingers, twiddle their thumbs, swear, go a fishing, or anything ' they please, but they cannot stop that paving. The job goes ahead in spite of them. It will bo noted that the hal anee of the citizens have absolutely no snv In the matter, though they are kindly permitted to keep the streets Hi repnrl, nine they are paved. It will be seen from this that the pav ing of a street is a matter In which ev ery taxpayer is Interested deeply, and that it is properly tho newspaper's business, if It would try to protect Its patrons and the public, In nol only keep close watch of city paving, but to warn the public of any careless or defective work done, or to be done. Tor this reason Tho Capital Journal now warns all who may contemplate paving, to insist that the calls for bids specify that a bond to keep the street In repair he required. If they do not do this, and tho contract is once lot without this requirement being speci fied in it, then the statement of fiideon Htolz, councilman from tho Third by brevet and chairman of tho street com mittee is true After tho contract is signed, tho city cannot legally demand a bond to keep the street in repair, Tho council cannot alter the contract it hns mndo, but it can mako tho original con tract protect the people. Why does it not do this f When did tho chn'mnan of tho street committee lenru that to demand a bond was illegal? llo, no doubt, being a man of at least averago intclligonco (that ought to please him) knew that he could insist on a bond beforo tho contract was signed, for ho know ho could not legal ly require it after It wag signed. If he knew this, then, if lie is standing in with the peoplo whilo acting bb their representative, why did ho not aB chair man of tho street committee, insist upon a bond being furnished. Why did ho not mako it a condition precedent to the completion of tho contract rather than wailing until such time as ho knew he could not compel tho paving com panies to furnish a bond, becauso the ontrnct did not cnll for it. Until this matter of bonds to protect the peoplo is Kelt led and settled right; until the mat ter of proportion! of materinl, and the proper system, of mixing is established, Salem property owners are foolish bl eed to even think of paving. ThoBO living on streets wanting paving owe it to their fellow citizens not to liavo that paving dono until their neighbors and the balance of the taxpayers of tho city are protected from loss by such paving. I.i-t us cnll a halt on all street paving until we get a new start, and that on a solid sensible business basis. Hoed the Cough that Hangs On. Tho seeds of consumption may bo In lurk, and a rough thnt hangs on wonk ens your systom, and lowers your vital resistance to disease. Take Foloy's Honey and Tar Compound.

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course frightens her. , The very thought of the hospital operating table and the surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder. It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but thousands of women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is attested by the grateful letters they write to us after their health has been restored. These Two Women Prove Our Claim.

H. Shore. Copyright, 1912, by T. H. Show. No merchant who eonsiders himself up to dato would think of closing tho doors of his plaee of busiuess aud not opening on dull days, or when tlio no tion seized him. By no means. If o is open every week day, and is always ready to wait on customers, Ho knows that the fact that ho is opon during tho regular stole hours means that ho can expect nustomers at any time. I once knew a merchant in a small town who, when the notion seized him, would clone the store and go finning. It wns surprising, too, how often the po tion seized him. His business suffered lis a result of the unbusinesslike meth ods, because people got tired of going to his store only to find it closed. The merchant failed, and peoplo said he was to Mamo for not having regular hours nnd sticking to thein. To be successful a merchant must have a consistent policy. Ho cannot run things haphazard and get the max imum of results. For instance, ho must liavo salespeople employed in dull as well as lime? times. So likewise must he have bookkeepers and office assist ants. He knows thnt business if judged by the year and not by any particular season. That he must keep hammering away all the time. It is just as necessary for a mer chant to bo consistent with his news paper advertising. The business man who omits his advertising from the paper for a week or two because he thinks that by so doing he is saving money Is ss unwise as the nierchnut who would close his store on pertain days because business was dull. P. T. Harniim, one of the best advertising men who ever lived, said that adver tising did not jerk; it pulled. Harmun was right, anil knew whereof he spoko. He was one of the largest and most con sistent advertisers of his time, and eonld speak from experience. Adver tising pulls because we are largely crea tures of habit and are impressed by rep etition. Per instance, the ad, of a cer tain product that we have seen ten times will Impress us more than seeing It only ouoe. Many advertisers have lost out be cause they gut '"oold feet" and quit advertising. Had they kept on they would have accomplished what they had aimed to do when they started out. Keeping everlastingly at It Is the secret of success in any business, Continuous newspaper advertising, if at all efficient, will produco results by unconsciously influencing tho minds of tho readers. Seeing tho name of a business firm in tho paper constantly so impresses peoplo that when they want some, article or articles handled by that firm they go to that storo and buy. They do it unconsciously because by reading tho ads. in tho paper they associate tho name of the firm with the goods handled. These same people might not acknowledge that they were so greatly influenced because they do not realize it. They wero influenced in spite of themsolves. In this busy world there is no room for tho man who will not stick, As a rnlo it is the steady plugger who wins out. Thero may bo times when ho is discouraged and disheartened, but he keeps pegging away and in the end winB out. IIo knows that eternal work is the way to bring success, Another and very Important reason why newspaper advertising should be continuous Is the matter of getting new customers or consumers. The complex ion of a city's population is constantly undergoing a change. The boys and girls of today are the men and women of tomororw. Today thoy are supported by their pnrcnts. Tomorrow they will do tho buying themselves. ' This means now customers for merchants of the town. Every time a young rouple gets married and goes to housekeeping it menus more business for merchants in all lines. Every new family that comes to town mean a increased business. This means that every day there are new customers and consumers to be reached. The merchant who take it for grnnt ed that everyone knows him because he has been established In business fur many years am) occasionally does a lit tle advertising la doing himself a grave Injustice, lie should take nothing for granted, but should keep pegging away, telling his story as often as possible, lie will find that It will pay, all things being equal. Ho would do well to con sider tho advisability of advertising continuously. Results aro what he Is after, and he will find that continuous advertising will bring them.
