Their local representatives may mnke mistakes,, but n general cam paign of corporation crucifying will Keep tlilq city on the bleachers when It should be occupying the grand stand In the race for supremacy In' the Willamette valley. The Capital Journal ha not en gaged In the business of making franchises. It Is busv ti-vimr i.. make a living at the newspaper bus iness without trying to say how a street ear company shall manage Its business, lluslness men who wan I the city to prosper do not usually turn it over to a newspncr to man age for them, to say nothing about "a men' reporter." The diversion this city needs more than nny other Is the diversion of having nil the big corporations spending as much mon ey heie as possible, employing as much labor as M.ssblo ,ul boosting to make Salem a greater city.

WCTED It should Improve Its service at the Fair Grounds, that it should build to Mornlngslde, and that the Oregon Klectrlc should extend south to Al bany, than all the whims and theo ries of a "mere reporter." It mnv r has accomplished noth- suit some persons to have conmi-n. prevent getting practical tions held mi ami roasted on ireiii.rni the way of improvement principles but mi live progresslw Ions at the hands of the community is dolnc those thlm? nmi getMng any results. The "mere re porter" should not be blamed but those who are couching and dictating Ills campaign should he unmasked, and made to stand in their true light as obstructionists to the progress and dovolpmcut of the city at a very critical time in its history. . .Tills city wants a new passenger station and new freight depot from the Southern Pacific company. Shall we pursue the same tactics to secure It that have been pursued toward the Portland Hallway, Light & Pow er company, anil toward the Oregon Klectrlc? Very well, turn the "mere reporter" 1oom and m. uliiit win will get. Tiie Capital Journal holds , no brief for any of these corpora tions. It has advertising contracts with some of them.
