For thn luinufit of tho public tn gon oral this pnpur wlahos to mako a few statumouts about tho reount city elect ion, Ah In usunl In mioh campaigns thyro ar mUroprueentntlnntt ou both Hldu and nut until the air bus cleared can n uorruot view he obtained. On, Idon must be dispelled at the vorf start, that the contest was al together ono Involving moral Issues and that tho sueaoss of the Hepubllcnn tloket means any Indorsement of tin morality or any triumph or advantage to what In tunned vice. The Uepuhllctuu. went through the camiHiIgn virtually uupledgod an any thing, but the progress nml develop ment of Greater Salem. That wni hnrtlly a plntfurm of principles but man of a sentiment, or u sort of n protest ngulnst the spirit of too great coufwvntltim on the part of the CHI sens admlnUtrotlau. nut to say that the Hepuhllenn can didates atood for the iian-enfuroemeut of laws, or for the protection of any Illegal trolllc whatever wu not thel truth. The manager of the Oltliens oampalgH and Its backers and promo ters and candidates did not stand for or against those thing.. Tho ministerial association, or law enforcement league, or anti-saloon league, or church federation, or aggre gation of citizens calling themselves by nuy, of these names, endorsed the OltlxeuSi oandtdates on tho theory that they stood for tho moral Improve ment of tho city mora thaji tho Re- publlcnns did, and would demand more law enforcement. While this element sought to mnko law enforcement tho dominant Issue, a victory for olthor sldo would havo loft tho police court and tho police department In tho hands of mon who were not olected upon that Issuo of law onforcomont ns understood by tho Law Unforcomont League. So that law onforcomont was not tho real Issuo in. tho election. Some of tho mlnlstero in thoir pulpits ad mitted this and woro vory fair and reasonable In tholr sormons demand ing tho onforcomont of tho laws of tho city. Hut tho fact remains that the elec tion was carried on othor Issuos more thnn on law onforcomont. Thoso who voted tho Republican tlckot did 'not vote against law and morality as has boon concluded by some, Thoro are na many mornlity-lovlng poople in tho Hepubllcnn party as in any party and In plnoe of further degeneration thoro will be moral Improvement In Snlem the noxt few yonra. The Republicans know that thoy owo something to the moral olemonts of tho community nud so far as the Mayor and City Council nre concerned they will be found lending rather thnn retarding tho moral progress of Groat ur Salem. Tho ministers nnd othor good peo ple who can see no vice In the city govornmont except It bo In connection with snloous, or gambling, or prosti tution, fall far short of sizing up tho prnbloms that confront city govern ment and all government. Ono groat Issuo that decided this election In favor of the Republicans wns tho battle for tho new charter of Greater Salem, without which thoro can bo no sanitary regulation or health development of tho city In any direction, Tho leaders of tho Citizens cam palgn woro tho avowed cnomlos of that charter with fow exceptions. Nono of tho candidates enme out and ever usod tho word Qroater Salem. The great bulk of the dolugatoe to the Cltlienii convention wore selected ft oni nmong those who hnd fought the adoption of the Charter. The Cltlseus party would not have put up a vigorous defense of the chatter. The managers of the CltUons cam paign had fallen Into liunds that would have used the couucllmen to promote their own private Interests nud that tn block all attempts at moral or In dusttial progress; Large property In terests. In the event of a Cltlsens victory, would ltave stepped to the front and claimed siieclnl protection, to the detriment of labor and progress of Greater Salem. One large interest was backing two Oltlaen candidates fur aldermen and if they hail auoooeded would have proceeded to "do business" with the city In forty ways that tho honest men in tho Law Hnforoumont League would not dream was possible. So it would havo boon with a majority of any Cltlion's administration under control of tho management that got Into tho saddle. To show how centralised the Citi zen's maohlno had become, formerly a non-partisan committee of three from oach ward had tho naming of a suitable candidate for Alderman. Tola tlmo thoy were all npproached and solicited to become candidates from tho "contor," whllo tho Republicans adopted direct vote and opou pri maries. Many other matters could bo shown up that ought to convince any reason able man that moral reform was not tho dominant Issue nnd was not voted down In this election. It is not neces sary to thresh tho bonten straw ovor again, but reasonable mon In the ministry and out of It ought to rid thomsolvos of tho nightmare that all that is good nnd puro and holy and righteous has boon tram plod under foot by tho defeat of tho Clflzen's tlckot last Monday. The plain truth Is the Citizen's loadors woro glad of a holplng hand from tho Law Enforcement League, whllo not caring a whoop for moral or othor considerations but to got thoro. The Journal refusod to bo a party to any such an nlllanco becnuso it did not represent what it pretondod, nnd bocauso It had couplod with it object ionable foaturos that wore not for the public good. NO SUBURBAN TAXE8 FOR 1903. ENFORCE THE LAWS AGAINST CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Salem's Chief of Polico has a heart for a horse and a sight that has af flicted tho oyoB of many cltlzons caused him to arrest a man Friday and have him fined for cruelty to animals. Tho poor nnimnt was In a half-starved con dition, and unfit to bo driven for any purpobo. On tho loft shoulder was n placo as largo as a man's hand that was raw and blooding. Thoro were also largo lumps on the animal's shoul dor. Tho man had boon drawing heavy loads of wood to town with this poor dumb bruto in, violation of all human and dlvtno laws, and what was worso was an Inmato of tho Twolfth street Holiness Mission, and ovon said to bo a preacher thoro. If that Is truo ho should havo been fined a hun dred dollars Instead of five, for be ing such a living travosty on the Christian religion. The man wns probably Ignorant of the offonso he wns guilty or, although ho had been warned not to drlvo that homo to the city. It Illustrates that people can imagluo themselves to bo religious and yet remain In the Ignorauco nnd darkness of cruelty. Horses are being need to haul wood Into the city that aro unfit to be sgen on the stroetti of n civilised commun ity. Horses nre used to haul wood from the Uatcars at the Southern Peel do depot that can hnnlly stand up. People who buy cheap conlwood often Innocently contribute to horrlblo cruelty. Horses are underfed and overworked hy ignorant nnd cruel owuors and the protection of law shoald bo extended to sueh unfortu nate animals. Salem's Chief of Police will enforce the laws against oruolty to animals Owing to tho fact that tho property of tho suburbs was not part of tho city whon tho nssossraont of l'J03 was mado, no lovy can be mculo on that assessment of tho suburbs for 1903. The first tnxos that can bo collected on tho property of tho throo now wards will bo on tho nssossmant mado under tho now tax law In January 19 li, aid Hi- tax will become pay ablo lu Sepiombor, 1904. If tho special 'sosslon lognllzos tho lovlos on tho nssosBtnent of 1903 then the d part of tho city will got two collections of taxes in 1904. I Thi- city will havo about ton thou sand dollars to oxpond on streots I from tho special read tax on one and a half mills levied twice, in December on 1903 and July on 1904. This will bo vory favorablo for tho promotion of bottor streots nnd it goos without snylng that Oroator Salem will tako tho first steps in 1904 townrd pormanont improvements. HAS A GOOD EFFECT ON COURT STREET, Some of tho proporty ownora aro Inspired with a desire to Improve that street, and are Bigning a petition to thnt effect. A pormanont Improvomont of Court street would mako that a fino resi dence boulevard. There aro many well-to-do proporty owners on that stroot, and tho city, county, Btato and United Statos own frontage there. If thoro Is any street In tho city that could stand a permanent Improve ment It ought to bo Court out as far as Fourteenth. Tho city election hna had the good effect vo give nil the peoplo of Salem a liopoful fooling nnd thore is not much danger of this going too far. Protect the Elk. Now that tho law against killing elk In this stato oxplros noxt year, it Is certainly a fact that our legislators should see to It that there bo a law enacted continuing the protection of thoso noble animals, of which there are to few left. Ther. Is no question that everv little band In Coos county is spott 11 and animals , numbered, nnd If the law Is allewed: to expire for any length of time It s doubtful if one would bo left It Is nlso a fact that there has been quite a number hilled In violation of our presont law, but we have reasons to believe that most of these were killed by outsiders, and If this could be watched a little closer thore is no question but ten yoars more of close protection, theare would bo a considerable Increase In their numbom Coqullle Herald.
