The Survey Edition
Five years ago, the Capital Journal issued its first Survey
edition, depicting the resources and development of city and
country. Today we issue our second Survey.
Comparison of the two surveys shows the substantial
progress of the community and its industries and the steady
development of agriculture and horticulture during the past
five years.
The statistics and charts presented tell their own story.
The information is made as compact as possible in order that
one can see at a glance without wading through a mass
of figures.
In this growth there is nothing of the boom or mushroom
order. It has not been made without serious set-backs and
drawbacks, with occasional failures both of crops and
markets, in years of depression as well as of prosperity, but
on the whole the valley has steadily gone ahead and as yet
has barely started. The extent of our progress is revealed
by the survey.
A City Essential
Salem is in good shape financially to acquire and extend
the. city water system and eventually insure an adequate
supply of pure water. With an assessed valuation of over
$13,000,000, the outstanding general bonded indebtedness is
$381,500. In addition there is district improvement bonds
outstanding amounting to $381,700 but these are secured
claims.
Water bonds differ from other improvement or general
indebtedness securities in that they are income earning and
pay a profit. It has been the history of most municipal
plants that they not only pay their own interest and principal
but frequently earn profits enough to materially reduce
taxation and at the same time take care of the extensions
necessary, in a growing city.
A fine water system is an essential ot a beautiful city.
Probably no one feature proves more attractive in luring
and holding new residents. Much of Portland's rapid
development has been due directly to the Bull Run system
and a similar supply for Salem would have an equally
stimulating, effect here.

And so It happened that after
dinner they started out with their

nearly ended Cynthia's g-ay young

way, warned them against all the
dangers that she could think ot
wolves, accidents, Indians laugh
ing at her own Imagination.
"Ceclle's a good sport," comment
ed Noel, as they made their way
slowly to a point where they could
start up hill.
"Yes, Isn't she," answered Cyn
thia. She was wondering how Ce
cile could laugh so gaily, If she
really did care as much for Noel
as she said she did.

ing of the period from 1828 to
1831. Then, said 'Bryan, "the
change wrought in his (Darwin's)
religious views would be found In
a letter written to a German youth
in 1879."
Quotes juarwin.
" 'Science 'haa nothing; to do
with Christ except insofar as tho
habit ot scientific research makes
a man cautious in admitting evi
dence For myself I do not believe
that there has been any revela
tion. As to future life, every man
must judge for himself between
conflicting vague probabilities.
" 'Every upward looKing man

"Evolution chills their enthus
iasm by suiietituting noon9 for
years. It is a cold and heartlesH

ending with ternity and action so

"Evolution." Bryan said, 1 flls
puling, the miracle and Ignoring
spiritual In life has no place for
the regeneration ol me muiviuuei
It recognizes no cry of repentauco
and scoffs at the doctrine that one
can be born."
The fifth charge brought was
that "if taken seriously and made
the basis of a philosophy of lire
(evolution) would ellminoto love
and carry man back to a struggle
of tooth and claw. The Christians
who have allowed themselves to
be deceived into believing that
evolution is a benefit or even u
rational process, have been asso
ciating with those who cither do
not understand its implications, or
dare not avow their knowledge of
these implications."
The commoner, denying that
the Tennessee anti-evolution l:iv
had Its origin in bigotry and was
"trying to force any form of re
ligion on anybody," said that tho
majority rather is trying to protect
itself from the effort of an inso
lent minority to torce irreliglon
upon tlie children under the guise
of teaching s.Mence."
Truth Welcomed.
Asserting that Chritsianity wel
comes truth from whatever source
it comes, he alluded to evolution
as "not truth; It is merely a hy
pothesis It Is millions ot guesses
strung together."
"The real attack of evolution,"
Mr. liryuu hold however, to he not
upon Christianity but upon re
ligion, the most basic fact in
man's existence and lite mosl
practical thing In life."
Clarence Darrow and his con
duct of the defense in the Leopold
Locb murder case brought lengthy
criticism from the funiWimcntti!
champion, under the question he.
asked:
"Do bad doctrines corrupt tin'
morals of student?"
Reviewing noutod excerpts from
Harrow's plea in behalf ot "Babe"
Leopold because he had become
"enamoured ot the philosophy of
Nietzsche," Mr. Bryan declared:
"Tills Is a duninable philosophy,
and yet it is the flower that blows
on the stalk or evolution. Mr.
Darrow thinks the Universities are
in duty bound to teed out these
poisonous stuffs to their students
and when the students becoma
stupefied by It and commit mur
der, neither they nor tho unlver
stiy are to blame." t
Mr. Bryan went to a discussion
of science declaring that science
"is a magnificent material force,
but could not be a teacher of.
morals, and Hint evolution Is at
war with religion because religion
Is super-naturnl." lie claimed
that science needs relief to insplro

At the recent sessions of tho American Veterinary Medical
association at Portland, two goats lost their bleats and a dou
his bark by simple surgical operations, and it is said that tlie
same happy result can be obtained with any vociferous
animal.
i'erhaps in due time science will find u way to still further
benefit a lung suffering humanity by eliminating the bleats,
bellows and barks of the billies, bulls and purps of politics
whose racket so disturbs the public at primaries and elections.
Of course such an operation would probably be fatal, for
if the blah-blah and the ki-yi ami the hee-haw were
eliminated, there wouldn't be anything left of tho average
politician, but even then society would be tho gainer. And
if by chance one survived, what a relief it would be to lutve
a surcease of clamor in public office.
It is respectfully suggested that, county courts deputize
the official jack-ass killers, one of which they are authorized
to appoint for each precinct on the fee basis, to perform said
operation upon the politicians, to the end that the public
may enjoy a peace that passeth the understanding of this
generation of job-seekers.
