The al vantage to The- Journal nlone will amount to-25 perjeertt. Every business will be advanced 25 per cent at least by having Another railroad connection with the Willam ette valley. Both the East Side and the West Side lines tend to keep business away from the Capital City. Tho Dallas line will bring business. Tho Dallas road would make Salem still more the hop and prune center of tho Willamette valley, as It Is now tho banking center. Salem' business men should leave nothing undone to get tho Dallas rail road connection. Such an opportunity would bo snapped up by almost any other town over night. How can we aslc Immigration and outside capital to Invest In our city If wo do not show that we have somo confidence In it ouselves? o AN INDIAN BOY'S CARTOONS. Tho cartoons of young Harris at the Chemawa Indian school are attract ing considerable attention. They tell their own story. Tho first one printed In this paper told tho political story of Senators Mitchell and Fulton, and young Moody In tho campaign. They woro all coming puffing up tho railroad track, showing that no man can bo elected conator In Ore gon who has not tho friendship of tho railroad. Moody was almost hidden under his ably never enjoyed tho angelic smiles of a genuine mermaid, or read of the sweot- summer girl. Vacations are jnecos3ary and profitable, both In mind and body. o THE ARCHBISHOP'S ORTHODOXY. It Is reported that a nupibor of the Catholic clergy have attacked tho or thodoxy of Archbishop Christie, of Portland, head of tho Oregon dlocense. It is reported that tho charges against against tho archbishop will be carried to the pope, and that a serious case is to bo conjured up against this high ofllclal of the church. Tho outside public has no means of knowing wjiat tho charge3 are that wlTl be preferred against the arch bishop, and is not Interested In the, details of tho accusations of heresy tha.t may be brought. The public has known Archbishop Christie as a very Intelligent and pro gressive American gentleman, a ischol ar and an orator of high repute, taking broad and patriotic views of educa tion and statesmanship. The archbishop has spoken on sev eral occasions, and ho has always glv on expression to sentiments that were more heartily In accord with Ameri can ideals than it Is usual from churchmen. The charge of being unorthodox Is complimentary, In tho estimation of many people, as It shows tho arch bishop has outgrown some of tho theo logical technicalities that hamper smaller minds In tho profession. The reputation of tho archlbshop will not suffer If there Is no more se rious matter laid at his doors than that of being unorthodox. As a man of cultuie, as a champion of education and morality, as a patriotic tlcfcndor of tho flag and American Institutions, he has naught to foa. o .Trcfli DEADBEATING THE NEWSPAPERS There is not a mall but brings to every newspaper a stack of fre'o ad- vnrtlRlni nrnnnnHlnnM frnm fhn Kf father's hat; a compllmont toHho name Lauls falr to 80me local proJect Hke n and reputation made by Govornor Moody that Is extended to tho son.

They are complimentary to the pow er and Influence of the press, but n tcflectlon on tho Intelligence of the newspaper man. It Is assumed that he Is lying on his back with his mouth pen t snap at cheap-Jhn emplyoments. .It Is a common conception of the bus iness ability or tno nowspapor man that he Is ready to accopt any kind of a deadbcating proposition. These propositions to get something for nothing ought to bo shut out of the malls. X-RADIUMS THE VACATION SEASON. Ono wealthy Amorlcan created a fu rSr recently, by saying that vacations Vforo uboIoss and oxponslvo to tho wrltor or working man, Tho pross throughout tho country at onco lnbolcd tho wrltor as cross and poovlsh, nnd ho will llvo In tho minds of many peo ple If for liothlng else than hi 3 re mark concerning summer reeren tlon.

Tho Idea of a summer vacation Is becoming more genoinl throughout the land, ami It Is now lookod upon as nucosnry. To lounge for n fow days or wooks In cool, secluded spots away from tho rush and cam of buslnuss and alp the nectar of nntmo along tho purling, babbling brooks, or tho suit poifumotl ocean bench, adds vitality and strength to the fretted and wor- 1 toil constitution.

The United States postofflco de partment has for nearly a year past beon constantly under lire from guns of large caliber, loud nolso and con siderable execution. In tho old-fashioned bombardments of cities, beach es wore made In tho walls through which tho enemy might find entrance and through which at least tho oper ations of tho people within could bo observed. New-fashioned guns carry further and hit harder. Tho modern dynamite shell fired from a distance of 15 miles, stilklng In the heart of a city, would probably reduce every thing contained on a squaro mile of ground to Impalpable atoms. The effects of the bombardment of tho postoftlce department have not been to annihilate It. But serious breaches have been made rand the Sentry has obtained a view of things going on within which carry convic tion that there are many faults In this boasted system. One of the postal branches not spe cifically Involved In tho "scandals," but brought under observation Indi rectly thereby and directly by other means, Is the money order systen. This business, which is no part of the original postofllce plan, Is growing so vast and developing so many dofects that earnest efforts are being made to dovlse an acceptable substitute for at least the smaller denominations. The postal money order service Is admittedly complicated and cumber some to the people. The process of procuring nt the postofflco' a money order with all tho red tape surround ing that process, has long been a cause of complaint to patrons. Tho following dialogue, sard to bo the rec- government receives a fee of three conts each, all of which Is pays to the issuing-postmasters if of tho third or fourth class. Postmasters of the first and stfeond class do not receive tho feos, but are allowed compensa tion for clerks who do this work at an estimated cost of more than double the feo thus received. Hence, all the clerical force work at tho paying post offices and the accounting office at Washington, Is done at a total loss. The uso of post check currency, which has been almost unanlmdusly approved by tho press of tho country, ard which Is provided for In a bill now pending In congress, would relieve the people from this great inconven lence and the government from these losses. It Is hoped and believed that at no distant day, tho bill, which was last year recommended by tho post office committee of the houae of repre sbntatlves, wilt bo favorably acted upon by our national legislators. THE SENTRY. New Umpire Secured. Jack Huston, formerly an umpire In tho Ccast League, has been appointed. STATE NEWS ord of an actual transaction, pointed ly Illustrates somo of the inconven lencoa which people suffer: "1 want to get a money order," she said. "Pleaso make out "tho application," replied tho clerk. "What application? I just want to send $15 dollars to " "Please fill out tho blank." "I 1 will you please fill It out for me?" "I can't, it's against the rules." "Oh, dear mo, I don't believe I can. What do you do first?" "Write the date." "Now let me see, Is this tho tenth or the eleventh?" "Tho tenth." "I thought so, but wasn't sure. What do I do now?" "Write tho amount to be sent." "It's $15." "Well, write it on the next blank lino." "How easy It Is aftor nil. Now what do I do?" And so It goes, until each particu lar blank has boon laboriously filled In by the fair ono, nt the dictation of tho long suffering clerk. This Is per haps an extreme case, but tinder the most favorable circumstances thoro Is a vexatious loss of tlmo In securing thoje ordors at tho post office. It has beon estimated that at least hair an hour Is wasted by evory purchasor of a monoy order, Including the tlmo lost In going to tho ofllco waiting for tho order, and returning to tho starting point. This seems to bo a low aver ago, but as 4G million monoy ordorB were Issued In the Unltod Statos last year, oven on this basis twenty-threo million hours of tlmo was lost to the productive Industry of tho country, Is going through tho procoss of pur chasing thorn. Allowing ton hours for a day's work, throe hundred days In a year, this labor of nearly eight thou sand men for ono yoar was thus. lost to tho country, In buying postnl money ordors. Tho additional loss of tlmo accruing to thoso who collected the ordors nt post offices, was another serious Item. Besides thoso loso of time and patlouco to tho people It has been officially demonstrated that tho outlro monoy ordor sorvlco Is conducted at a hoavy cost to tho government be yond its returns In revenue. Reports of tho auditor for tho post ofllco de partment show that tho ascertainable oxpondlturos for monoy ordor business by tho department axcood tho receipts therefrom by mor6 than $500,000 par- annum. Thoro aro various other Items of oxponso not accurately ascertain able, which would largely Increase this loss. Tho most unprofitable feature of the systom Is tho iieuo and pay m out of orders of tho smalls denominations. Nearly or quite one-half of tho fort)'1 Will Celebrate.
