Tlio Salem Statesman of December 25, lias an editorial ilcnotinclnjr the classified civil service and examina tion us to fitness constituting a quali fication for ottlre. Hear It shriek: - Republicanism lias been victorious! The civil service law Is a fraud! To the victor belongs the spoils! Then follows the usual appeal to partisan viruleuce and bad blood and fie conclusion Is drawn that the eternal vigilance of tho ofllce seeker Is alone tho price of liberty. Charge Chester; Charge! On Stanley, On! And ho bared his breast Tor his country and fell upon the spears that pierced his heart and died! In tills heroic strain the Statesman sings the glories of u partisan cyst cm exactly nt a time when the Republi cans boast of a more than partisan victory for the honor and Integrity of of the nation! McKinley's victory was won on a narrow margin by liberal use of money and a very liberal appeal to the sound money-Democrats to furnish the unusual vote wnicn McKinley jjot in the eastern states. It seems like a remarkable time to raise the cry for a partisan public service. The fact Is that In spite of the parti san argument the classified cfvll ser vice has grown strong In the country until It embraces the entire clerical serylec in the postal and other de partments of the government. "When Mr. Bonham at Salem became post master he had one place to fill his assistant, an ofllce requiring admini strative ability. The other places some eight or ten were as completely beyond his control so far as removals except for cause as though they had been appointments In some merchant's store. And so In all the other depart ments of government. Take the Indian schoel: Was there not Infinite trouble and scandal until the Institution was brought at last completely under civil service rules? Did not the Statesman disgrace Itself by attacking Supt. Irwin's ad ministration when it did so purely for partisan motives -and because Its henchmen could not be forced In there? Is not Supt. Hendrlck's of the reform school holding down his place because the state board did not see fit to throw him out for partlsaa reasons and put in a man to learn.tho duties all over again at the expense of the public? Has riot the same state board recently put Supt. Knight back in charge of the deaf mute school be cause lie was tho man best qualified to run it by experience and not because he was a politician? Is not Supt. Paine at the State Insane Asylum con ducting that institution on civil ser vice principles and refused to remove JBi -.. j.lTV j? j.vm -i J That hideous and deathly demon of sideness constipa tion, is an easy enough thing to cure if you take the right medicine. Constipa tion is one of the commonest things in the world. It is really one of the most seri ous things. Fully nine-tenths of oil the ordinary sickness of mankind is due to tills one cause. If you place an obstruc tion in the gutter, it will 6top the flow of water, and gradually a mass of poison ous, putrefying matter will accumulate. That is exactly what happens in the digestive organs when constipation be gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and is forced into the blood. It coes all over Iff the body and causes all sorts of symp toms. A few e: tnese are dizziness, nam lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches, loss of appetite, loss of 6leep, foul breath, distress after eating, biliousness and erup tions of the skin. These things are un pleasant, but they are not serious. The serioua things come afterward. Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure of constipation. They are tiny, sugar coated granules, easy to take, mild and efficient in their action. One is a gentle laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is nothing else in the world like them. There is nothing that takes their place. There is nothing "just as good," although Helng and unscrupulous druggists may sometimes tell you so for their own profit. Do you want to lose your health so that the druggist can get rich? The People's Common 6eni Medical Adviser, in plain Ho. clUb. or Medicine Simplified by S.V. tierce.

' The 'civil service does not apply to !the elective, administrative or exco 'utlvo olllces. It should net: those olllces should be filled by Republicans when it is in the power of the party. Beyond that the party is responsible for good economical public service. If it lias places to fill the public interest requires they shall be occupied by competent persons. The whole doc trine of rewarding a man for loyalty to principles which he professes to hold In common with others for the welfare of the country Is a fraud and corrupting of citizenship. Thomas Jefferson founded a party that certainly endured attackand had the partisan Instinct ift its very root, lie dealt with the same band of sharp, keen, hungry political parasites in 1800. Just as the law deals with them now, that the Statesman calls a fraud, Jefferson made removals for misconduct only. When he had ap pointments to make he appointed men who were competent, who were hon est, and who had a proper reepect for the constitution. He considered six or eight years long enough for a man to remain abroad in the foreign ser vice. Fie ordered such to come home and become Americanized again. We commend Jefferson on civil service to our esteemed contemporary. am IPLACKWEIXS SCHOOL OF POLITICS, Criticised by a Populist Because It Points Out the Dangers of Socialism . Salem, Dec. 27. Eeitor Jeurnal: Will you allow me to criticise your valuable little treatise In one point that you Jproba- bly overlooked. Do not think me pre sumptuous, as In a multitude of coun cils Is wisdom. In your statement of the objects in writing the work, one Is to "avoid the dangers of social ism." Now to tho student,of the sub ject of socialism and the universal success attending the introduction of the methods advocated by Socialists, in all countries, this is almost as ab surd as tp refer to tho "danger" of all tho people having plenty to eat and wear. Our United States mail system is one of the applications of socialistic teachings. Municipal ownership of gas, water works and electric light plants Is anotber socialistic scheme. Your own paper contained an item only a few days since to the effect that tlio city of Glasgow, Scotland, would not levy any tax this year, be cause the revenues from her "social istic" railroads, gas works and water works, was sufficient to pay all the expenses of city government. England is socialistic to the extent of owning her telegraph and telephone lines and postal express and saving banks, as well as mall system like we have. Austro-nungary goes one bet ter In "socialism,," by owning her railroads, and the result Is so "danger ous" that a man can rldo us far as from New York to San Francisco for five dollars of our money. And these "socialistic" railroads do not kill ad many people in a year as our railroads kill In a day, comparing per thousand miles. I could mention many, many more instances of successful application of the. principles of socialism in thous ands or places, but tho foregoing will serve, as a "hint is as good as a kick to a wise man," and 1 think that you will readily see, tho point as soon as your nttcntjon is called to It, or at least as Boon as you take the trouble to look tho matter up. Hoping to have not offered you nrfd that this criticism may be taken In as kindly spirit- as It Is offered, 1 remain your, wejl wisher. I WANT sUqfeBS 0 NO OTHER. V, CGC7 MMWt EMBPrK -' V ,.

Construct Same. Interest In the early and Immediate construction of a motor railway, that will bring the thriving towns of the Willamette valley into closer business communication, has been received atuong enterprising business men, who see in the construction of such a road that it could but benefit the entire yalley, the consumer as well as the producer. The Salem Labor Exchange has again taken charge of the matter, and by a faithful and accurate presen tation of what the construction of such a road means, to the Willamette valley farmers, have caused the busi ness men to become interested in the project. Last week a meeting was held at Iupendence, where considerable inter est was manifest. Providing Polk county will furnish the rails or the necessary capital with which to purchase the same, the La bor Exchange proposes to construct a motor railway between .'Salem and Falls City via Eola,'Independencc and Monmonth, If Polk county responds at once and furnishes rails for the road, that part of the line between Independence and Falls City will bo built first. On the other hand If Sa lem raises a sufficient sum that part of the line between Salem and Inde pendence will be constructed first. All subscriptions will bo made pay able in transportation and traffic over the line when completed. The line proposed between Salem and Mill City via Shaw, Aumsvllle and Meliama will also be built pro viding the neeessary capital is fiur nlshed. It Is proposed to organize a Labor Exchange at .Independence. Two Brothers.
