HAVE WE A YELLOW STREAK? Silurianism shows its cloven hoof every once in a while in the Capital City of Oregon. If there is any community that Salem owes a cordial response to it is Roseburg. Douglas county has several times put up from one to three thousand dollars for displays at our state fair. Roseburg has responded in many ways to the needs of the Capital City, and her men have fought for Salem appropria tions. When it is put up to our boosters to send a carload up to their Strawberry Fair there should be a hearty response. With the president ot the State Fair Board a prominent and enterprising banker of that city we should respond. Have we no city or public official who has any just feeling of pride in this matter to lead off? Are we not awake to the necessity of being alive on such oc casions, and are those in positions of honor indifferent? For a community to show a yellow streak is always bad, but for some communities worse than others. It is up to. this city to take advantage of the opportunity to make friends of Roseburg and Douglas county. o JOINS THE DOLITTLES AND DO NOTHINGS. "While the acquisition of the water works would be desir able, it is not absolutely necessary at this time." Lachmund Veto, Message. Yes, put it off a few years and join the society of the Doolit tles and Donothings so eloquently characterized by the Mayor. In assuring prominent business men of the city that he would help pass the water ordinance in the council the mayor was a eport. Now it comes to light that a friend had a bet up with him that he would not vet the ordinance. Months before this, however, the people considered it desir able to acquire the water works, in the face of a campaign made by the Dolittles and Donothings. Under the lash of the mayor's fiery condemnation of the Do littles and Donothings the council considered the acquisition of the water works desirable. "It is 'not absolutely necessary at this time," says the mayor, and a little later he may have a bet up with some other man. and it may be nee.-.1.?, n y. All the money spent in two years for eninceiing, for reports, for advertising bond sales, for special elections, is thrown away. In the meantime a bet of the cigars or the drinks piay change the attitude of the mayor in another direction. i A CORRECT BONDING POLICY. The criticism that the addition to the Salem High School will exceed the bond issue voted by the people needs explanation. The bonds of the Garfield school were only $20,000, but the school and site cost $33,000 when it was completed. The bonds for the Englewood school were only $25,000 and the building and grounds complete cost $33,000. The same will be true of the High School annex there are $35,000 bonds, and the building completed will cost $39,337. This has always been the pol'cy of the Board of Education, to have as small a bond issue as possible. This is a correct bonding policy, and the school district finan ces have been well handled in' this respect. The increased cost of the High school is due to the need of a larger heating plant for a school of thirty odd rooms and large gymnasium. The most modern invention of the age will be put in the en larged High School an automatic heat regulation, to save fuel. This thermostat regulator will automatically regulate the temperature of each room without sending ward to the janitor. From an economic and sanitary standpoint this increased ex penditure will stand any amount of probing and investigation. The latest graft is the Boy Scout Gralt. To that has been added the Girl Scout graft. When we can't graft anything else we can graft the innocent youth of the country and make graft ers of them. For they will find out that there is systematic graft back of it all ,and their confidence in moral reforms will be ,i weakened and they will come to consider all activities of life selfish and grafting. For God's sake which means humanity's sake let us do a few good things in this world for something besides the dollar. Business must be done, and we can all rem der some honest service and get honest pay for 'it, but when we coin religion and morality into moneymaking we lower the standards of civilization, and make men and women lose faith in God and morality. TAFT'S ARGUMENTS IJiSl'LT CANADIANS DNITID ratal UiiBan wim.) Ottawa, Ont., May 10. Speaking editorially, the Journal, which has been a supporter of the reciprocity measure, declared today that Presi dent Tart's argument in behalf of the bill was an insult to Canada. "Our American cousins," the Jour nal says, "seem confident of our hav ing no ideas except those of dollars, and evidently believe that we are too thick skinned to possess any political susceptibility and too dense to pos sess ordinary logic."

PEXIS IX HER WOXOERFVL CREAIIOXS, AXI) HEM SPLEXDIl) COMPANY LAST NIGHT. The entertainment, the May -with out words, the pantomime; whatever the delightful melange of movement. posing and acting presented list night by Miss Ruth St. Dems might be called, was one of the most ile l:ghtful things ever witnessed in Sa lem. Of Miss St. Denis too much could not be said, for, In fact, hut little can be said, for she Is Indes cribable. The flexibile sinuosity of her perfect body, the long, slender arms that seem to move like a gentlj shaken ribbon, in a series of waves, jolntless and pliable cannot be put into everyday words. The cobra dance, which wa9 not a dance at ail, was wonderful. Her Ion?, pliable hands poised and folded likj a ser pent's head, and the arms with all the vermicular, gliding motion of the snake, had the same fascination that a snake has for one. The company with her wns rood, the Hindu street scene bein beauti ful and realistic with genuin3 Hin dus, and a dozen or more native in struments. The scenery was good, fit ting the acts so perfectly that it seemed to blend with and become a part of the real, living persons of the old Egyptian and Oriental days. But what's the use you can get no idea of Ruth St. Denis' wonderful creation without seeing it, which we advise you to do if you ever again have the chance. Years of Suffering Catarrh and Blood Disease -Doctors Failed to Cure. Miss Mabel F.
