THK ritOGUKSIVI.9 AND THK MOhS-
HACKS.
As has been indicated lu these
columns that is tho fight in thin
couuty that is most likely to Uis
place all other issues. An is well un
derstood, tills paper has been In
clined to n conservative polloy. It
has taken the farmer's slrlo ou many
leading questions not to flatter the
farmer but liecuuse It believed that
right. When the prosperity of Sa
lem and Salem's working people Is
lu tho scale wo have always taken
their side. That was tho case at tho
lato city election. We favored tho
side which promised to push perma
nent public improvements. We
bvllovo In that still.
When tho Milling company asked
favors, to give it a chauco to still
further Improve ita plant, we favored
Uiat because we want to Bee every
factory running aud every possible
sourco of employment thrown open
to our people. So lu electiug a dele
gatiou to the legislature, we believe
in keeping the rapid development of
this city in tho foreground as the
vital issue.
The Jouhnal still believes in a
'policy of true conservatism. Truo
conservatism means keeping our
working people employed aud every
House occupied by a family aud
mure now I amies aud factories and
hitjinei-9 enterprises and street rail
roads aud motor lines and trans
continental railways will follow.
Tho issue is progress vs. moss
baekism. Mossbacklsm means veto
lug street car franchises. Revoking
their power to extend over couuty
roads into tho suburbs. Idlo work,
meu. Dead towns. It means, say
ing that the muddy streets and im
passible roads that "were good
enough for us 40 years ago are good
enough now." It means saying,
when you speak of advertising for
factories, capitalists, etc. that "we
have too many peoplo hero now."
It means no encouragement to rail
roads to bulla lu here ana Iionco no
more railroads. It means no en
couragement to manufactories and
hence no more factories. It
means opposition to motor lines, to
street car lints, to improvements of
our streets and roads and to the
general building up of a city here to
good bridges aud viaducts where
needed. It means every man for
himself, Instead of working unitedly
together for tho public good. It
means iiiossbuckiMU,
Progress, means tho encourage
ment of the building of motor aud
electric hues in the city, into the
suburbs and along the county roads
beyond. It meuns beautiful subur
ban residences. It means happy,
contented, prosperous homes forour
workmen. It means good wages.
It means prosperity instead of a
grinding cent-per-ceut buBlue?s
whereby n few get rich aud tho
many keep poor. It means tho
grading and cleaning up of our
streets, tho building of u viaduct and
good bridges whoro needed. It
means the encouragement of rail
roads, motor Hues and various in
dustries instead of putting such re
strictions upon them as to be pro
hibitory.
The great question before our peo
ple is mossbacklum vs. progress, it is
greater than politics, It is greater
than anything else. It will not
down. It is a question that decides
the future of Salem wo have tho
two elements here, everyone knows
till?. The triumph of pno, means
the building up of a beautiful, live
progressive city. Tho triumph of
the other means idle workmen,
vacant houses. The time lias come
for a public choice to bo made.
LINN CO0NTV POLITICS.
The Alliance party in Linn coun
ty lion put out a very good ticket for
county oMcfH. They have had the
(rood fionoo to put up no man who
liu heretofore apMarcd on the
tlcketd of other parties. The Alli
ance convention wgh held beforo
either of tho oilier purlieu met in
convention and they picked up now
men, aud the whole ticket 1h giving
great witlsfactloii among tho farm
era. At leant twothlrdH of tho
Alliance were formerly Democrat,
and they hold about nine hundred
voU'H In the organization.
Heretofore nomination on the
Democratic ticket In Linn county
was equivalent to an election. The
nominee could rent liln farm, move
to town, and prepare to qualify.
ThU Ih all chaiiKtd into a doubtful
Htate or attaint with the odds In
fuvor of tho ItepubllcanH, who have
been about three hundred In the
minority heretofore. This In a flat
lering state ofnifalm, which, though
a little hard ou the machine Demo
crats ut the couuty neat of Linn,
will tend to Improve county govern
ment uot a little.

HOW FAR WIVES MAY DRESS HUSBANDS
Lc.il' Ywir Ball Croquet
Church Musicales Fes
tivities of Various
Natures.
OUll MATUUDA-S NIGHT.
To what extent should a mau be
tilled by hid wife in matters of dress?
,l'o tlio extent that he can possible
please her, without ollbndlng good
taste. Ib uot that a square answer?
For sho may have a desiro in the
matter not in accord with good
tafte. To dress to please her and be
laughed at for your paius wheu you
go down tho street is not just tho
thing, don't you know, if you are
uot u Ward McAllister lu embryo.
If you havo made tho rulstako to
select a wife who has poor taste lu
matters of dress sho will uot worry
about your dresslug luauy stylo you
please or no stylo at all. If your
wife thinks she knows how a mau
should dress, but does not, theu the
fuss begins. Most women havo a
penchant for light spring salts.
What married mau has uot heard
this:
"I do wish you would get a nice
gray suit, such as Brown wears?"
Bo the dear man gets a gray suit
whether It becomes him or uot. Ills
dear wife admires him in it as the
object of her allcotion dressed in the
colors of her choice, even after the
coat begins to hang down at tho
pookets or bag at the knees or hitch
up an inch too high ovor his shoes.
Of course, there are limitations in
the philosophy of clothes thatoveu
your dear wife's request cannot over
ride. Your clergyman will seldom
get out of his conveutial black, tho'
It were far better that ho did In
Bomo cases, as in proportion that ho
dresses differently from other men
lie will find others difficult of ap
proach by him. Ills clothes are a
Chinese wall toward tho heathen at
least.
In caso of some clergymen the
garb of their profession is naturally
becoming to them aud docs not1
exercise the Intluenco of a rcpollaut
force so far as others are coucorned.
Tho truo gentleman will neither
attract nor repel ou account of, or by
means of his clothes. Tho sarufc is
truo of a lady. So, after all, to what
extent shall a mau bo ruled by his
wife in the matter of clothes, Is of
secondary importance. Tho spirit
and bohavlor shall shlno througii
the dress as the sun through a veil
the veil may add a sheeny splendor
or may obscure tho rays, but cauuot
hide tho real light of tho individu
ality. Tliero is nothing about tho
ministry of tho Gospel that pre
cludes a man being a good follow
and it perfect gentleman not even
ills clothes.
There Is ono point ladies cantiot
err upon that Is in asking that
tholr husbands who are business or
professional men wear well-blacked
shoes. The heels should not bo red
aud the lines should bo drawn at
use of stove blaoklnir. A man who
should so far forget himself as to
appear in a business dress and his
boots blacked witli tho slovo brush
should bo sharply reprimanded by
his wife. Bho should be In power
that far at least. I)ut her authority
should not extend to trimming his
beard except by Ills consent. Ex
cisions whether of taxes or hirsute
appendage shall be made only with
the consent of tho governed. Hav
ing laid down the law of marital
relations lu matters of dress for
head aud foot, the philosopher of
theBATUitUAYNiairr column will
desist for a week.

PUIILIO DUTIICS HIIOULD HIS PKR
FOItMICl). Tho county court owes It as a duty
to. the jcoplu of South Salem, and to
all the farmers who are obliged to
come to Salem over that road, to
putlthoroad In as passable and safe a
condition as it was beforo the county
court granted a franchise to tho
olcctrio company.
What part of this duty is to bo
performed by the oleotrlo company
Is a matter that Is between that
company aud the court. Tho county
court acts as representative of tho
peoplo and it has committed a great
wrong to allow the road to be cut up
tho wuy It has and give the peoplo
no protection whatever. Large dele
gations of farmers called on tho
county court Friday aud Saturday
to Induce it to take some action uud
restore tho roads.
Tho majority of tho people are
not opposed to grunting franchise 1
to suburban railroads. A railroad
can bo built over such a road with
out destroylug It.
Tho city of Salem must also act
and do Its duty by this road. South
Commerlulal street froth tho city
limit to the north end of tho bridge
Is today practically Impassable. A
few days rain would make it unfit
to gel over on foot. Ills theduty of
tho city to build that street at once
so that It will bo safe and passable
as before.
