REVISE THE CITY BUDGET.
The people of Salem expect the city council to do a lot of
trimming on the city budget.
Some of the items are out of all proportion to the city's
needs, as for instance $6,500 for engineering.
With two good hospitals in the city, it is hard to see what
good result could be accomplished with a $1,500 city hospi
tal. It is ridiculous to keep a city physician at $16 per month
with duties as sanitary inspector to order a cleanup.
There should be a readjustment of the lighting system,
and provision for streamer lights at least during the holidays
and 4m occasions like the state fair and when the legislature
is in. .session.
Like most governments, the city is paying to much for extra-official
services and too little for real necessities.
COUNTY COURTS WILL GO SLOW.
-The -county court of Marioncounty and other counties will
do well to go slow in creating a large road fund.
Ijris a terrible temptation to a certain class to get busy
when there is a large fund piled up in the treasury.
The.present Marion county court will not levy a large gen
eral fund to hand out to communities that have a little pull.
As,fnearly as possible the money collected in each precinct
will toe tianded back to the precinct for road purposes.
The, .people locally under a good supervisor will get more
mm done for the money when they realize that they are
spending . .what they themselves have paid.
Jm p.epple in the various localities know better what they
need than does the average court or county road master.
Local self-government Is not altogether a dream and the
people are more intelligent than some give them credit for.
THE MASSACHUSETTS TOWN ELECTIONS,
Elections were held in about fifteen Bay Stale cities on
Tuesday,' Dec. 14, in which prohibition was involved.
One of the cities was Worcester ,the largest dry city in
the world, the special battle ground of prohibition.
Newton, Medford, Newburyport and Salem were conceded
to be "no-license" towns, while others were claimed by the
"drvs."
The elections were held nearly a week ago and the news
has been strangely kept out of the Associated and United
Press,
The Capital Journal will print the news as soon as it can
be obtained and has sent another telegraphic request for the
facts of the Massachusetts town elections.
GOOD WORK AT FALLS CITY.
The Law and Order League did good work in securing
convictions of the blind pigs at Falls City,
Some of them were running poker games, slot machines
and dance halls and should have been prosecuted long ago.
On the rest of their cases in Polk county they fell down,
and the grand jury refused to find bills and cause costs,
The reckless running up of fee and cost bills should be sat
down upon in any community.

PATENT MEDICINE ADVERTISING.
a
'Some people object to patent medicino advertising in
general newspaper,
So do we, but we do not see how when it is manufactured
and sojd why newspapers should. not advertise it.
The Capital Journal rigidly excludes objectionable and do
moralizing nostrums that are run in many other respectable
papers,
We realize that backaches and kidney pills are not pleas
ait subjects to thrust before our readers.
We started in once to have no such advertising in our paper
but got no encouragement whatever.
The time is coming when we shall not print many things
that are now printed in the papers.
The Capital Journal excludes scandals, and matters that
are published in the local Good Citizenship League organ as
unfit to go into any family,
As a rule, we are trving to be just as good in our newspa
per as the ordinary citizen and not claiming any superior
virtues,
"I am much Impressed with your
Httlo city," said Frederick S. Stelg
meyer, a prominent attorney from
Salt Lake City, who Is spending a few
days visiting the city and transacting
buslnesss, "and your people here are
sociable, and of a class that makes
the stranger amidst their community
feel at home.
"Your wide streets, abundance of
vegetation and dcslrablo location be
tween mountains and foothills In
spires a feeling in me that I can only
describe by saying that I would like
to make my summer home here. The
city is not large, nor is It as lively as
several In which I have had occasion
to visit heretofore, but the general
reign of peaceful quietness and the
class of people living here, renders
the surroundings most comfortable
and pleasing."
Attorney Stelgmeyer is looking af

Pneumonia.
"In treating pneumonia." says Dr.
Wf J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., "the
only remedy I use for the lungs is
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. While
of course, I would treat other symp
toms with different medicines, I
have used this remedy many timds in
my medical practice and have yet
failed to find a case where it has not
controlled the trouble. I have used
it myself, as has also my wife for
coughs and colds repeatedly, and I
most willingly and cheerfully recom
mena it as superior to any
cough remedy to my knowledge.'

"Furnished Rooms to Rent,"
The prosecution of the women in the redlight district has
had the usual effoct of converting their places into rooming
houses.
As rooming houses they are infinitely worse to the com

A stranger coming to our citv, ar an inexoerienced young
