After a long struggle Salem in to awaken from tho Rip Van Wlnklo Bleep imposed on its public policies, and tako afront rank as a city of progress. A modern high school building' is to fco erected with n full course of twelve grades and conducted on modern educa tional lines, and in n progressive spirit. Tho Btrcota aro to bo built on mod era lines, and at least tho business Mocks are to havo pavements put: down ttbat can bo kopt clean, and will bo of sa permanent character. Tho decision of tho Masonic frater tnity to erect n modern business block Is tho first stop toward tho reconstruc tion of tho business parts of thp city on metropolitan lines. With city, county nnd school district out of debt, woll govornod, without giattHt and with progressive men in "Charge, tho future of Salem was novor 80 bright Lqt us nil pull together to uioke It a reality. So far as known the first campaign emblem was a finger ring ofjeopper. It was worn by tho adherents of John Quincy Adams la 1825, when he ran for president, and was inscribed ''John Quincy Adams, 1825." Tintypes nnd medallions were among tho insignia of tho 1800 campaign. 1 o Eoad Maintenance 4 i ' 1 "A NEW STREET POLICY. . It must bo plain to tho business men and property owners that a now policy of -street improvement should bo adapted by this city. For thirty years tho present policy Bias prevailed, which is no policy at sail, but has cost enough to build flno jpavements. Tho past year tho street work fell in to tfio hands of conservativo influ cneos, to put it mildly, and it has boon gravel, gravel, gravel. It has not oven boon intelligent gravel screened grnvol, but tho un screened river gravid, sand and mud, mixed by tho hand of nnturer- It ought not tako n slcdgo-bammor 4o drive It into tho crnniums of the city couneil that u hotter system is badly m ceded. If streets are, to be paved nt tho ex onso "of' tho abutting property then ithcro must bo a now policy adopted of using tho strcot funds. If tho fronthgo Is to grade, gravel Macadam or pavo tho stroet, then tho property should bo relieved of furthor tax, or that tax should bo employed to clean and sprinklo tho strcots, nnd vkoep them In repair. Lot the city coun ell consider if tho tlmo has nunc for n wow policy. . o HUMILIATION OF RUSSIA. ''After months of persistent effort on tho part of tho Japanese army and fleet, tho ilefensos nt Port Arthur havo nearly sueoumbod to tho sharp aud tcr rlflo attacks, and tho proud Russians txret compelled to admit that their days in tho inodorn fortress nro numbered. - 'Thq. very best cnginoriug systems linown to wurfuro wero used in tho construction of tho many forts, nnd tiyory posslhlo natural ndvnntago was utilized with a view of making it n fioennd Gibraltar.

Tho spirit of unrest which is gathorlng in his domains will rule his actions to n great extent, and whether he can meekly submit to tho terms imposed by tho victors is doubtful. t Tho common pcoplo of Russia aro not warriors, but they bellovo that the great empire of which thoy nro citl- xons is ablo to copo with tho allied powers of the earth. Tho resources of tho country nro almost unlimited, and tho strugglo can bo prolonged indoU nltcly, although tho sacrifices would bo terrible to contemplate. Japan would bo willing to arrango peace if it could with proper dignity, but whether that chnnco will como to tho Mikado is very doubtful.

Tho Journal joins hands over the bloody chasm of tho recent city olec tion with its estoomed contemporary, and heartily accopts its proffer to unite in policies of progross for tho Capital City. Oregon City elected a straight busi ness mayor in tho person of Dr. Som- mer, a native of Pennsylvania. Rov. E. S.

In tho maintenance of tho streets and roads so little cxpcrlonco has been had on tho part of tho highway commis sioners and tho pcoplo in general that it is usually thought that when a road is onco built that it will maintain itself. Many highway officers feel this samo way toward a bridge, and no gleet to paint it, but oven a bridge built of iron, when neglected, loses its strength, just tho samo ns n road built of stone, if neglected, will go to pieces. Tho rcnl llfo of a stono road is depend ent upon tho enro which it receives dur ing tho first six months after it is fin- ished, and tho perpetual attention which it receives nftor that. Some think that wh.n a road is completed that if tho looso stones aro raked off onco in six months, that it will main tain itsolf for thrco or four .years, nrfd then tho rood enn bo resurfaced with top dressing nnd a steam roller, and again becomo as good as new, and ready to go thrco yoars longer without attention. This method of caring for ronds is far from oconomical and sat isfactory. Tho best way to maintain n road is, as soon ns it is turned over by tho contractors, to cngago a man to tako charge of a fivo-milo section at an agreed prico per year, and put him Zristress After Eating Nausea between meals, belching, vom iting, flatulonco, fita oj nervous head ache, pain in tho stomach) aro all symptoms of dyspepsia, and tho longer it is neglected tho harder it is to cure it.
