A fow years ago, when Dr. Woods Hutchinson, now a prominent magazine writer, was a member of tho Oregon State Board of Health, ho made a tour of. a number of the towns and cities of tho state and passed nn opinion on tho water supply in each Instance, with reference to Us purity. Ho told tho Saem peoplo plainly that, tholr water was bad and that It was liable to produce typhoid fever In an epidemic form. Did the Capital city tako tho admonition kindly and g about improving tho conditions? Well, hardly. (From tho Portland Oregonlan.) "Commenting on Salom's epidemic of typhoid, The Qregonlan says It Is now time to removo the capital from that city." Thus the Corval lis Gazette. But the Oregonlan didn't say that now is this tho tlmo to romjove tho capital from Salem. It said now is tho time, if Salem would keep the capital, to get apure water supply there. (From the Stay ton Mall.) Salem is going af tier tho typhoid menace in the right way. and not ir.&k BETTER TREATMENT FOR CONTRACTORS. Whether it is tho fault of the Engineering department, tho Legal department or tho Street dtepartmont, tho City of Salem Is not treating contractors right. Wo will pass up tho question of an improper system1 of making as sessments for street Improvements and look at It for a moment from tho contractor's standpoint. Ono firm of contractors have done nlno thousand dollars wlrth of street work tho past year, and have recolvpd so far only one-Blxth of their pay. It is Btated to tho writer by ono of tho Arm, and wo have no reason to disbsllevo It, that only 81,500 of tho 80,000 of accepted work has been collected. Whoro does tho fault He? Streetlmprovements are supposed to fall duo"Vhon tho notlco is served oflettlng tho contract for tho Improve ment. Tho citizen can then tender tho pay and stop Interest, and reserve tholr plight to pay for tho work when tho city accepts. Thoro Is something wrongsomowhoro ,and it Js not going to be easy to get Btreet work done thiscomjng year. WEST REJOICES AT DEPARTURE OF PINOIIOTISM. Prcsldont Taft has been slow to act, but tho West appreciates his parting with Plnchot. Mr. Plnchot represents tho class of men whoso judgment Is sub merged by his theories. At the head of a great and Important department, he imagines all revolves about him. Not satisfied with having tho caro of tho forest resorve, ho added domain after domain. Tho department was taking chargo of tho cattle grazing business nnd wanted control of tho water powers. Reclamation and irrigation and mining coal lands and tho lumber Industry wcro drawn Into tho net. Thousands of officials worq added and bureaus of publicity woro established whllo Plnchot lectured. State conservation laws nnd burtonus woro organized and thoro was a government growing up within tho government. ' Too bad to kill off tho prince of predatory officialism but tho sooner somo moro go tho bettor. o PEOPLE WANT BEST REGULATIONS POSSIBLE. It Is to bo assumed that so long as thero Is demand for liquors thoro will bo somo ono to supply tho demand. Thon it becomes n question of regulation of tho traffic to secure tho host possible conditions. A fair and square local option lnw would probably bo best for pre cincts that can onforco Prohibition. But unless tho sontlmont of tho pcoplo Is very largely for Prohi bition, Uottor order is secured under stringent regulations. Tho peoplo of this country consume over twenty-three gallons per capita of alcoholic bovoruges each year. Thoy consume over twonty-throo per cent moro whiskey and beet than thoy did fifteen years ago whon tlio present prohibition wavxj was started. Tho so-called prohibition laws of Malno, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Oklahoma and ono or two other states do not prohibit. Thoro is not a clauso In any of theso laws that interferes with men or boys obtaining nil of tho liquor (hey want. "Tho so-called prohibition Btates nro moro or less flooded with li quor. Tho laws aro reasonably well onforocd in most of tho dry counties, but not whoro such counties hnvo cities. t Salom with rogulatod saloons, nnd less thnn ono to tho 1000 popula tion, has bottor ordor than somo dry towns. Bocauso tho Capital Journal tolls tho truth about theso things, somo popplo who nro radical become impatient. Bocauso wo do not strnddlo and slop around and talk good-lord, good-dovll In this paper, radical Prohls condemn us. Wo respect a man who takes a squnra stand for a principle nnd stays with It and claim tho samo right for ourselves. Tho peoplo profor tho rogulatod saloon In cities to bootlogglng. o A WHOLESOME VOLUME OF FICTION. A now romance of tho hottor class has boon published by Dodtl, Mead & Co., Now York, "Tho Pool of Flumo" by Louis Josoph Vnnco It Is ono of thoso books that lures you from chnptor to chapter with Inovfonslng intorest, llko a charming ncqualntnnco, growing better Tight along. In theso dayB of Georgo Bnrr McCutchoon diluted "Graustnrk mush, n book llko thlo ono by Vanco Is n godsond. Tho horo Is nn Irishman, and ho Is matched against a French vil llnn and an English fool. Fighting and mystory nro equally mingled and it Is a book to mako a man forgot his troubles. Thoro Is no namby-pnmby chambernmld slop nor unhealthy senti ment obtwwm Its covers. It Is a book that will not loavo a stain on tho purest mind nnd sntlntas tho domaud for notion and hlghly-sustalnod lntorost. THE JOURNAL ANN1VEHSARV.

Thero Is no tlmo like tho nres- ont for sanitation.. (From the Woodburn Independent.) It may come high, but Salom must havo mountain water or It will lose all tho prestige it has gained through other Improvements.' The peoplo are willing to live on tho Willamette River, but 'unwllllnsr to drink that water. (From the Dallas Itemlzer and the Oregon City Enterprise.) Trie city of Salem may proceed to establish a municipal water sys tem that will total a cost of prove a good investment. Salem would have been a larger and more prosperous town now if an adequate supnly of water from the moun tains had been secured ten years ago. The Mossbacks' association haB a large local lodge in Salem, but its members are being depleted by death and they have no organizer in the field to recruit applications, so in spite of themselves they are being made rich in their old age by the enterprise, prognesslvcness and industry of tho community, every ad vance of which Increases the value of their vacant and sometimes shack encumbered lots.

Tho amount required for tho purchnso of thoso sites, however, will not be .deducted from tho amount of tho bonds to be voted upon, but the whole sum of $25,000 Is to bo used In tho ' construction and erec tion of a building. The rooms in tho schools aro now In a congested condition nnd an additional building is badly needed and thoso support ing tho movement aro confident that it will bo carried by a good majority voto at tho oloctlon. Tho election will bo hold at the various polling places between the hours of 2 and 4 o'clock in tho nffer noon.
