The Kind You Havd
Don't delay your purchase; The old saying Is, "Don't put off till tomorrow what should be done today." Cash Is no object, your credit Is
good. Why, we believe In the credit system Is because It Is the modern system of civilization. Every successful business Is conducted on a
credit basis. If credit Is the wrong Idea why does the United States government conduct Its affairs on a credit basis? Why do our National
banks conduct their business on a credit basis? Why does the wealthy neighbor of yours drive- up to the department store, where If he were
refused credit he Would feel greatly Insulted? Why should not everybody have equal rights and privileges? The Johnson system Is credit to
every honest man and woman. We don't measure your wealth; all that is necessary to obtain the easiest terms of credit with us Is your hon
est reputation. Whether It la the millionaire or the honorable wage earner we make no distinction. We believe that every honest man and
woman Is entitled to credit. We have conducted our business In the most honorable credit system for over twenty-two years and If you are
not acquainted with our credit system come today and let us explain to you the great advantage you have over paying cash.

And apple staled and steamed,
With grandad slyly napping,
My sweetest droanm weiu dreamed,
Tim wlutor wind, snow laden,
Coaxed up the roaring tlnmee.
And there a rosy maiden '
Sat by and played me games ;
There Uive, who heard the clinking
Of Kinases, came and saw
Two happy lovers drinking
Sweet elder through a straw.
Snug sheltered from the weather,
At norms we laughed,
And quenched our thirst together
In that cool, amber draught;

SPECIAL SESSION INEVITABLE.
Whon tho govornor and tho loglsla-ture-mon
get through sparring thoro
will probably ho a special session, to
pass a little noodod legislation, and
that will bo nil thoro Is of tho mattor.
Tho prompt action of tho Oroator
Salem Commercial Club sounds tho
keynote, so far as this community Is
concerned. Without a session our mu
nlolpat finance) would be hopoleesly
disarranged, and our progress retard
ed. It la not hard to see whether the
governor or the legislature would
inako the most political capital out of
IL
The error was a legislative one that
makes the session necessary. If the
legislature makes more blunders at
the speclul session the governor will
profit by It, and will bo justified in so
doing.
If there bo no soselnn the collection
of taxes on the levy of 1003 will not
be easily possible, It communities at
tempt to make such levies. There
will be more litigation. Any big tax
payor can stop the collection.
The Southern Pacific, and other big
corporations, would be Immensely
richer for not collecting the tax of
1003, becnuso all the lovlos could nev
er bo made and collected under any
circumstances.
Men holding large sums of money
that they are anxious to put Into war.
rout speculation would be gainers of
a rich harvest, if there be no session.
There will be miliums of warrant to
buy.
DIRECT NOMINATION OF CANDI
DATE8. Qrent Interest Is being aroused In
the proyoMd plan of direct nomination
of candidates for ahlorman at the com
iHg city election.
Thar Is. under this plan, ho posel-
blllty of there ttciitg a ring ticket
forced upon the peoido at the rl
mariea.
It takes only are persons to prejent
any iwaa's name as a candidate at the
HoptibMcAH nrimarleo. It is presumed
that tho opposition. If thero he auy to
this plan, will giro tho people the
same right of choioo la naming candi
date. Tho HoohoMchiw bare taken aa ad
v&hoo stop Ih thte mattor, and It is
probable that their host mon will bo
brought oat for the people to choose
from at tho primaries on November
Sith.
Under this plan a candidate Is made,
not by his own action, but by the ac
tion of his friends and neighbors, and
then by the direct vote of the people
at the primaries.
Of course-, St goes without Baying
irciriTtTZTmCTCMBgEiifflimazKB
that fow mon will seek the ofllce of
alderman, as thero la nothing In It but
self-sacrificing trouble for the public,
with no possibility of reward.
An alderman of sufficient business
ability to accomplish any good work
for tho city, or for his constituents, is
generally found pushing his own busi
ness so hard that he has llttlo time for
public buslnoss.
Still thoro is such pressing need,
and the most urgent necessity for the
service of our best business men in
tho council, especially if there should
be default In revonuee.
If direct nomination will pormlt the
people to bring out their best talent
for the undeslrablo ofilco of aider
man, it will bo a great improvomont
on nomination by a ring machine.
PLAIN DUTY TO CUBA.
Certain congrossmon aro beginning
to talk about tho "constitutional diffi
culties" of ratifying tho reciprocity
treaty with Cuba. Thoy seom dlsposod
to raise a tlmo-wastlng controversy
ovor tho oxnet form In which tho troa
ty shall bo passed.
It Is always easy for thoso who wish
to ovado plain duty to find excuses.
Tho constitutional hair-splitting which
haa begun in Washington would ap
pear to bo of that charactor. Thnt tho
congrossmon who nre thus amusing
thomsolvos aro precisely thoso who
long hnvo put beet-sugar intorosta
abovo national Interests la significant
What tho people want what thoy
have votod for In two national elec
tionsIs not moro dolay In this mat
tor, but tho prompt porformnnco by
congress of Its plnln duty to Cuba and
to tho United States.
The wolfaro of Cuba and tho wel
fare of tho Unltod States demnnd that
Cuba be no longer pormltted to drift,
and that tho bonds of matornnl inter
est which unite Cuba to this nation
shall be knit up soon nnd woll,
The gontlemen who think It good
politics to palter with their plain du
ty toward Cuba would do woll to look
back and recall what happonod to
some of tho conspicuous congressmen
who paltered their plain duty In the
ens of Porto Itlco.
PUSHING THE PUSH CLUB.
In selecting Joe, O. Graham for
secretary of the Greater Salem Com
mercial Club that organisation has
made no mistake.
He has chargo of the Balfour-Guthrie
Company's milling and warehouse
business In this part of the Willamette
valley.
He has retained the confidence of

contact with their vital Interests.
The business men of this community
should give him their heartiest co-operation

Thoro Is some sa'Isfactlon lu credi
tors making it hot for Madame Pattl,
when it is considered how many times
sho has robbed tho Amorlcan public
with her farowoll canary-warbles,
It isn't overy day that a Salem man
becoraos grandfather twice In ono
week. Yet that Is what happened to
Hon. Jos. Albright, Sr., bottor kuown
under tho nickname of "Old Dlnck
Joo" who was janitor of tho Oregon
stato house for nearly 30 yenrs. A
son was born to Mr. nnd Mrs. John Al
bright, nt Portland, November Cth,
nnd anothor son was born to Mn and
Mrs. Theodore llarr, at Salem, Novem
ber 12th. "Old Black Joo" Is giving
hlmsolf tho double hand-shake, and
smllos on both sldos of his mouth.
It Is ono of the sights of tho lower
part of tho city to soe tho X-Ray man
got on nnd off the cars at the transfer
point In front of Tho Journal office
He rolls his trousers half way to his
knoos, and picks his way out of the
mud as carefully as if he wero bal
ancing on the kind of oggs for which
North Salem Is getting the reputation
of having moro than thoy know what
to do with.
The person advertising in this pa
per In a sarcastic mannor for a par
fecto brand of hired girl Is probably
one who can't keep a girl over a week
at a time, and wants enough waiting
on to employ a brigade of colored wait
ore. The Journal isn't giving away pi
anos nnd automobiles to got people to
take this paper, but It offers a bargain
day that enables anyone to sava a lit
tle cold cash for a rainy day, and they
are sure to come in Q.'ogon, as well as
other states.
The Elks woie in session last night
when the Itose Melville show was in
town, but they did not entertain hat
company again, not lecause the Rose
Molvlle people aro not good company,
but because the memory of the !aat
entertainment still lingered In their
ears. It was a delightful time thoy
had about live years ago. when, after
Roso Molvlllo played in the Prodigal
Father Cow pony, they gore the wholo
cVwtnany a bouquet at thalr an tiered
ball, and forgot to take their wives
along that evoulng. Some still recall
how the old lady of the company told
Judgo Bdos he reminded hor, of her
father, how a prominent young busl
ness man gallanted tho soubrett how
they repeated their dances and spe
cialties and other parts, how two law
yers nearly fought a duel as to who
should lead Hose up to the small w&sh
tuo of champagne punch In the center
of the festal chamber. And the roast
ing evry Klk got on apodal occa
sions for the rest of his natural life
has made them slow about undertak
ing tho part of grand entertainers. A
majority of tho lodge had to take a
solemn pledge that whenever Salem
Btka wanted to give a banquet to la
dles that k be to their own wives, and
they have not departed from, that vow
for good and sufficient reasons.
