"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." BYRON Restoring the Mails The Capital Journal has repeatedly called attention to the inadequate mail schedules in and out of Salem. It is doubtful if any other community of its size and importance as state capital has such poor service. Such service would not be tolerated with anywhere without vigorous protest, but with its customary complaisant lethargy, Salem merely ac cepts whatever the bureaucrats of the postal service want to toss her way and lets it go at that. Unable to get letter delivered anywhere the day it is written and sometimes for several days with towns a few miles away, has forced many to resort to the utilization of the auto stages and to send their missives by express or package delivery. Now the postal authorities have resurrected and enforced an old regulation prohibiting the stage companies or their drivers to carry letters between points on their routes, even as express. Development of the auto stage transportation during re cent years has rapidly curtailed train service on secondary rail lines, some of which have abandoned passenger service altogether, thus demoralizing mail transportation over these lines. Because of these conditions, letter packets were utilized on the motor coach lines. But the postal department, apparently oblivious of the revolution in trans portation, which has slowed down the postal service even on the main railroad lines, Bticks to the old system. The condition Salem finds herself in is summarized as follows : No mall leaves Salem (or Portland and way points between 6:01 a. m. and 3 :27 p. m. The two northbound mail trains In the morning are but 36 minutes apart, the first leaving at 5:25 a. m. The three afternoon trains are grouped between 3:27 and S:47. Only three southbound trains bring In mail from the north, one at 7:10 p. m., another at 12:08 a. m. and the third at 8:20 a. m. Mail between Salem and SUverton. 12 miles aoart. Is routed around by Woodburn and made dependent upon the Infrequent mail trains to and from which It Is transferred at that point. Between Salem and Dallas, 15 miles apart, mail Is sent out from Sa lem by freight train at t o'clock In the morning, and also goes out of here by train by way of Corvallis with two transfers and reaches Dallas at 3:27 In the afternoon. Stages carry the morning mall from Salem to Independence, 12 miles apart, and Monmouth, at 7 o'clock In the morning, and the same round about train connection by way for Corvallis brings them Salem mail be tween 2 and 3 o'clock In the afternoon. Mall between these points and Salem moves at random over either train or stage and senders have no means of knowing whether a few hours or from one to two days are to be consumed In delivering their letters. Mail between Salem and McMlnnvllle, Amity or Newberg, the latter 30 miles away, goes by train to Portland and back again, and unless ex act connections are made two days elapse between the posting and de livery of letters. Between all of these points there is auto stage service, which filled the gap by handling unstamped letter packets, permitting delivery within an hour or two, which the Postal Department has now ordered stopped, without offering a substitute. With hourly auto stages operated between Portland and Salem and points south by the same company that operates train service, there seems no reason why Salem should have no mail service from Portland or northern points between 9:20 a. m. and 7:10 p. m. and no reason there should be no mail leaving Salem for the notth between 6:01 a. m. and 3:27 n. m. This is a proper matter for action by the Chamber of Commerce. It was for just such things in the interest of the community it was organized for, and is supported. As long however, as such discrimination is meekly accepted, It will continue. The efforts of the Chamber should be rein forced by resolutions by the city council, the service clubs and other bodies, by the state officials, whom it affects as mucn as anyone, ana Dy political oiKiimianuiis. y"y pressure of public opinion will force reform of the mails. First Aid for Golfers Commenting on the fact that the appropriations com mittee of the New Jersey state legislature at its last session recommended an appropriation of $3,000 to aid in the turf research work which is being carried on by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment station at New Brunswick, N. J., the Corvallis Gazette Times enthusiastically advocates a similar nrosrram for Orecron. thus furnishing additional work for the O. A. C. professors in the task of uplifting the farm er. It declares several million dollars are invested in uregon golf courses, and golf clubs should know what kind of grass to plant, and how to care for it. This is an exceodinclv vital subject, golf being of course, one of the great industries if not resources of Oregon in need of development. It is very important that our golf players have the right kind of velvety sward to perambulate across for the soothing effect on their nerves and why not assess the taxpayer for finding out he has to pay for most every thing nnwarinvs. The only fly in the oitment is that if the advice of the rnlloi'f exnerts is followed, as many of our farmers have tried to follow it, there won't be any greens at all. We all rpmnmhor the exncrimcntal research work tliese proiessors attempted for flax, for dairy pasture, clover seed and other crops. Besides how long would it be, if we once got these experts supervising the putting greens, before we would have to have state appropriations to Iignt me nematodes, maggots, bacteria, flies and bugs they would discover, to pre vent the destruction of the lawns.' As long as few students can be induced to study agri culture any more, and the professors must be kept busy, why not convert the institution into a school for golf and turn out pros as well as putting greens, for golf is more profitable than farming.' Let it be again a case of Oregon first with the only golf college in the world. We Have With Us WALTER 1HVINQ STALKY Words anj Music by Murray Wada Forty years Is a long time to be in the same business. Next Sum mer will complete a two score per iod that Prof. Staley has conducted the Capital Business college. We do not know of another Institution in Salem that has continued that long without a change of ownership or management. Eight thousand students have attended the school In that time. United States sena tors, supreme court Judges, govern ors and a president of the United States have been students. There are many men who now hold high business positions who attended nere. Prof. Staley was born on a farm near Waterville. Kansas. April 25, 11)60, and carries his years as well if not better than any man in the community. His schooling was first at waterville. then at Morrill Nor mal school, after which he took a commercial teachers' course at Ced ar Rapids, Iowa, where he was a pupU of M. Palmer, author of the Palmer method of penmanshro. In the winter of 1888-0 he went to Decorah, Iowa, to install a business practice department In the Voider Business colege and the next year took charge of the commercial de partment of Cornell. In 1880 he came to Salem to conduct the Cap ital Business college which Is now the oldest of Its kind In the north west. During his residence In Salem Prof. Staley has been active in civic affairs, particularly In the Y. M. C. A, having been president ror the pan twenty odd years. In his school work and In civil life he has done much for others and is rich In gratifying memories that the help he enjoyed giving to oth ers has been of help to them.

FROM KIDNEYS Kidney and bladder Irritations often result from acidity, says a noted authority. The kidneys help fitter this acid from the blood and pass It on to the bladder, where it may remain to irritate and Inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensa tion, or setting up an Irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The snf ferer is in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very pro fuse; again, there is difficulty In voiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call It because they can't control urina tion. While it is extremely annoy ing and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of good water, also get About lour ounces of Jad salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoon ful In a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three davs. This will help neutralize the acids in the sys tem so they no longer are a source of lira t ion to the bladder and urin ary organs, which then act normal again. Jnd Salts Is Inexpensive, and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with ltthia, and Is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary dis orders caused by acid irritation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, ef fervescent lithia-water drink which may quickly relieve your bladder Irritation. ndv. DEATH HALTS TRIP Zena Mrs. Mary B.
