One thing they should do, and that is to hare the city charter, with all its amendments, and the ordinances as they stand, published. This can be done at a small oxnenso and in a choap pamphlet form they can bo plncoil in the hands of all the people of Qroator Salem. DIRECT NOMINATION IN IOWA. Direct nomination gave the Repub licans of Salem a bettor ticket than thoy could havo put up in any othor wnji It gavq them a tickot which was strongor at tho polls than a tickot put up In nny othor way could possibly havo boon. Tho Journal believes tho dlroct nomination should bo extunded to the county ofllcos, proporly guarded by Jaw. In Iowa the Cornoll Collogo debat ing team has Just won a great victory for direct nomination, aftor a lonn struggle. Tho question was: Resolvod, that party candidates for oloctlve office within tho stnto should nomlnato un dor state regulation by direct voto of tho partlos. Tho nominating of candidates Is the sourco of representative government Tho caucus and convention unre strained by the direct vote of the peo ple Ioavo the boss and the machine unrostralned to run the government. ABOLISH THE POLL TAX RE 8TRICTION. It Is the duty of the Republican members of the legislature to securo thu repeal of the poll tax restriction at the special seealon. Tho Ropubllcan delegation wero n Unit for strlktng It out when the char ter was passed, and It was agreed that the amendment was to be secured In the senate, nut It was neglected The educational Influenco of a pro vision that sends young men to,the polls to vote, and have some one ad vance the money. Is very bad. The poll tax iwstrictlan is placing a premium Indirectly on bribery of the voter. If It Is not repeal! corruption will surely Increase. Leave, the voter fre to vote with out Intimldulion by tax collet-torn at the polls, and without Incentive for some campaign committee to pay. The man. not "property, nud not ability to pay taxes of any kind, U the unit of our euverament and must so ever remain In a free country. Tax collection Is a function of gov ernment between the state and the cltlsen, ami eannut be made the basis of disfranchising any voter. THREE DOLL'AR, PUBLIC SPIRIT. Some anonymous cbantpiou of the poll tax roetriotinn, In the morning paper, roasts those who refused tc pay $$00 to vote, lie ludlots them at having no public spirit, and because they did Hot pay 13.00 to vote, say they do not favor better street. That is the contemptible theory that would build permanent streets out of the 18.00 pell tax. and It has prevailed too long In this town. The atrophied, trogjodlte disposi tion Is satisfied, to wade In the mud, bo long.oa ijt saa make some poor man djg up $3,00. The beautiful and magnificent Salem to select from. strcots of the Capital City could have never entered the chambers of his cramped and narrow Imagination. The men who' are always talking about others bolng liberal with 'their money generally see to it that tho Othor follow has no money of his own. Get out of that frnmo of mind, oh, yo generation of mossbacks. Cense to grovol ovor your sluggish dollars. Ante up and look pleasant. Uy a dlroct voto of tho people nt tho polls thoy havo decided against your 13.00 policy of street Improvements for " tho future. PUBLISHED WITHOUT AUTHOR. ITY. Tho Journal wishes to disclaim all responsibility for tho articles that ap peared In this pnpor Tuosday headed "Only Cllonts Suffer" and "Lack of Judicial Tomporament." Thoy got Into tho papor by an or ror of tho make-up mhn, who found somo typo on sorao galleys of tho Ore gon Law School Journal, which is sot up on Tho Capital Journal llnotypo machine. Tho Journal Is not fighting any man on tho bonch, whothor ho bo a candl dato for ronominatlon or not, and it it wero doing so would make a square and open fight Us woll-known policy Is always to openly and flatly bo for or against any political situation, and pot on tho lino of personality, but of principle TRAITS OF THE NEW SPEAKER. Tho odllor of The Journal road law with a collogo friend and old chum of the Hon. Jos. Cannon, prosont speaker of tho house of representa tives, and has often seen and mot tho groat commoner of Illinois. Fol lowing character sketch from the De comber Monthly Review of Speaker Cannon Is vory much appreciated: "The new speaker of tho houso of representatives is n 'character.' Ho Is as mucli a 'character as was An drew Juckson, the rugged, or J6hn Randolph of Roanoke, tho terriblo. or Roecoe Conkllng, the Imperious. The man who now presides over the American house of commons, and who ueder our traditions and with... our practices Is without doubt 'bocqiuI only to the President of the Unitod States himself In his Influence over th affaire of the government, line a personalty- unique, peculiar, inoft In terenUng. and In many vnys ndmjra ble. "Uncle Joe" Cannon he ftto all who know him: nuil the sobriquet In a sens boepeaks the character ot the man. for we rarely apply the pre fix of "Uncle- to any one who has mi a goodly share of the milk of hu man kindness in his veins. "Ulicle Joe" has a nature that la brlinrotn full of sunshine, of kindliness, of good feeling, of quaint humor, and above all of what we Americans know as plain, common "horse sense." He likes to place his arm affection ately upon the shoulder of the men Ayefs $17.50 Suits and Overcoats reduced to $12.50 20 25 ii ii Don't miss this opportunity. who are near him.

Tha Journal apologises to its read ers for having taken so much apace with campaign matters the past week It seemed unavoidable.
