SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
Tho movement to eqfdrcq a 'strlctbr
keeping of the Sabbath, day has many
supporters at Salem outside of the
churches. ' f
Keeping Sunday ak a day of rest
is now Jehjolned) by tho laws of tho
bWo ;and It Is proposed to enforce
that law.
Just what this program will Include
la'hard to say, and' there Is general
disagreement as to how far It should
go.
What Is necessary work and neces
sary business to bo transacted on Sun
day has never yot boon defined, and
probably novcr will bo.
The tendency of the whole Country
has boon toward 'greater freedom on
tho Sabbath day, a larger use of tho
Jay by everybody.
Whothor the cigar stores, confec
tionery stores, nowa stands and places
of amusement can bo closed on Sun
day Is not yot certain.
That puritanical enforcement and
restrictions are contrary to tho spirit
of tho ago no ono can doubt, who Is at
all Informed.
All good citizens favor a quiet and
ordorly Sabbath day, and all do not
agreo that It will bo secured by too
rigid enforcement of tho Sunday laws.
UPBUILD SALEM EDUCATION
ALLY. All the friends of education should
rally to tho movement to put tho Sa
lem public schoolo On a par with the
best in tho state.
Our university and colleges and
academics would all bo helped by
adding to tho reputation of our pub
lic school system.
With tho reputation of hnvlng the
best public schools' In tho etate ev
ery person who went out of Salem to
teach school would bo In better de
mand, and got bettor salary.
With tho best public schools In tho
state tho attendance at every private
educational. Institution in Salem would
"bo larger.
With about ono-fourth of the school
children in prlvato schools there Is
not a reason that can bo offered why
Salem taxpayers should not maintain
tho bost public schools In tho state.
Tho district has a financial sur
plus of about $20,000 per annum, and
thotaxpayers have wisely refused at
soveral meetings to rcduco the lovy,
and thoro Is not a dollnr of debt.
This Is tho time to go forward on a
business bails, and put Salon to the
front, educationally, ns woll as mor
ally nndi IndliBtrlally.
mates tho value of tho standing tim
ber at $100,000,000, apart' from tho
timber-lands owned, and operated, byi
tiio "stale, and It l Individual tfwnor
stilp of timber that' forestry leglsla
fton Is especially designed to pro
tect. Thoro Is need for It.
Tho figures of tho fire warden show
that 2,000,000,000 foot of plno tirriber
wero cut during tho season of 1902-03
and as tho estimate of the standing
marketable timber Is put at only
28,000,000,000 feet, on land owned by
Individuals, tho forests would disap
pear In loss than 15 years, If tho an
nual cut should bo kept up. But
Minnesota la providing for tho event.
Out of tho vast acreage received by
tho state from the United States ahe
has sot apart 2,500,000 acres of forest
land to herself. From that reserva
tion she cut and sold la 1903 timber
of tho value of fGOO.OOO, a handsome
addition to their treasury from sales
of timber slnco the reservation was
established.
But she Is doing more than that.
She is reclaiming an enormous acre
age of waste landi by planting with
plno, in time to become normal for-
osts, and In the meantime Is not only
carefully guarding tho growth, but Is
encouraging reforestation by Individ
uals with gratifying results. From
her reservations Minnesota confident
ly expects a net annual return of not
loss than 3 per cent on tho capital
represented by her present timber
lands and, in due time, an equal if
not groater return on tho wastes sho
is reforesting.

received with open arms jby their
companions, who had watched the ca
lamity. As tho water In tfio deepest
portion of the lake Is onlyf three feet
deep) the accident caused- all kinds of
merriment for tho party.
Shipping Strawberries.
Secretary Kyle Is getting some nlco
orders for strawberries to be shipped
to all parts of the country at' $1.25 a
crate net for tho best fruit, and tho
demand Is Increasing, ,.
A number of crates will be shipped
today and1 tomorrow to pofnts In California.-
Salem people ' would help
this Industry materially by sending a
caso to some friends at a distant
point.
Berries for shipment have to bo
picked a day or so beforo they are
ripe, and for long distance shipments
orders should1 be placed a day or two
In advance with tho secretary of tho
Fruit Growers' Union, at his office, at
tho head of Commercial street.
X-RADIUMS
RAIN 18 NEEDED.
Thoro Is urgent need for rain all
over tho Willamette valley, or tho
grain crop will bo very light.
The hay crop Is going to be a very
flhe ono, but spring grain has tho
greatest need of rain, and that right
away.
It would bo a good plan If some of
tho mid-week prayer meetings would
direct their supplications for a llttlo
wetness. '
Of course, thero will be an abund
anco of hay of all kinds, but a week
of good showers would add millions
of bushels of grain.
King Visits Eton.
London, Juno 13. King Edward,
accompanied by Queen Alexandria,
today paid a state visit to Eton col
lego, a visit which was abandoned
two years ago on account of the king's
illness. Their majesties, with the
Prince anJ Princess of Wales, drove
from Windsor castle to Eton. Ad
dresses were presented, and tho roy
al party took tea In the provost
lodge, afterwards embarking on tho
state barge, an Immense boat, 40 feet
In length, which was built more than
200 years ago, and much used at Vir
ginia Water by Wlllllam III.

According to Abe Lincoln, no man
was ''good 6nbugh to govern another
without 'his 'consent. But In these
days It Is considered that Abo had
wheels.
Fears that President Roosevelt will
wreck the G.' O. P. seeml to emanate
from Democrats who have been try
ing to wreck It all their lives, but
without success.
Salem should have at least as good
publlo schools as any other city In
the state. And yet there are people
who will vote against having moro
than nine grades in the schools.
The best public schools aro none
too good for any American city. Thoy
can only be secured by fighting for
them. Let tho good peoplo who want
bettor conditions all around turn out
and help win tho fight for bettor public
schools next Monday.
Tho New Salemi charter Is estab
lished. Tho census is taken. Tho
city records and finances have been
put In order. Now build tho Dallas
and Falls City railroad. Adopt the
additional grades In tho public
schools. And there Is even talk of a
municipal light and water plant. .
