THE CHARTER PROBLEM.
There is bitter disappointment among real friends of the com
mission plan of government over its defeat.
There should nt be, and those who yish to reform our city
government should not be discouraged, but learn from the mis
takes made, and avoid them in the future.
It is evident that a charter to be acceptable to the people of
the city as a whole must be drawn up by representatives of all
the people.
Eusiness men are so far in advance of the average citizen in
their demands that they are apt to be misunderstood when they
come to deal with the public as a whole.
Besides a charter is a slow growth, and the present charter is
the product of forty years or more municipal life.
Then besides it is the Hayseed charter, and has some of the
best features of any charter in the state, if they were lived up
to.
The people of Salem are probably ready for the commission
form of city government, if it is rightly put before them.
'When it is done again it should not go into effect in the middle
of one administration, to put it out of office.
When it is done again it should not abolish the Direct Primary
nominating system, as was deliberately done by this charter.
The sate law provides the Dircet Primary system for every
election, and cannot be set aside by any locality.
The attempt to do away with the Direct Primary law in this
city would alone have ensured the defeat of this charter.
A city charter is more closely bound up with the rights of the
people than any other written form of law.
It was folly to claim for the commission form of government
that it would close all the saloons.
Yet that was done by its leading advocates, and secured the
ardent support of the prohibitionists.
When the commission form of charter is submitted again let it
be kept free from all unnecessary entanglements with other iss
sues. Any attempt to amend the charter should proceed from all the
people, and they should be heard and represented in drawing it
up.
The Outing Magazine has a big feature article for November
on lion hunting in Africa by hounding them with dogs. That
means is taken to rid the country of the king of beasts, so that
settlers can live in safety and raise cattle, sheep and horses. The
lion and the settler do not get along together very well. As game
grows scarcer the lions grow more desperate and dangerous to
settlers. The same is true of the mountain lions in Oregon.
The cougar is not destructive to sheep and goats until the deer
are all shot out of the country. Hence, the folly of laws that
forbid hunting with dogs. Dogs drive the Cougars back into
the mountains, and protect the settler and the deer at the same
time.
WOULD AMEND CHARTER IN DECEMBER.
Mayor Lachmund proposes to submit some amendments to the
present charter in December at the regular city election.
He would have one paid commissioner to take over the work of
the chairman of the street and sewer committee and bridge com
mittee. He would also have the chief of police appointed by the may
or, instead of elected by the people, as at present.
These are important positions, to be affected by the proposed
changes, and will have to be well considered.
There should be one charter amendment that would protect
home labor against unfair competition in public improvements.
Laboring men with families and homes should be given the
first right to get employment on public work. .
The importation of large bodies of Italians and Greeks to dig
sewers and put in other large contracts is an injustice.
The man with, a family and a home in the community has a
right to the first chance at public employment.
The system of making sewer assessments and street assess
ments is fundamentally wrong, as practiced at present.
Proposed amendments in the city charter should be submitted
to discussion of the people before adoption, and only such
changes made as are absolutely necessary.
HORSES HOLD THEIR OWN IN FRANCE.
Notwithstanding the fact that that the development of the
automobile, as well as of the aeroplane, has proceeded more rap
idly in France than in any oilier country, the use of horses
seems to persist there better than in some of the slower-moving
nations.
In Paris in ten years the number of horses has diminished
by 24,210 that is from 9C.G98 in 1910 to 72,488 in 1911. This
large decrease (a trifle over 25 per cent) makes the increase for
the country all the more striking.
In Peris mechanical traction has displaced the horses on all
the omnibus lines, and the horse cab is vapidly disappearing.
The persistence of the horse in rural France is attributed to
the fact that there, in contrast with England and Germany, for
example the land is divided into small holdings, so that 'he
farmers for the most part are quite unable to afford an invest
ment in mechanical appliances fcr traction, etc., notwithstanding
the greater eventual economy in in using motors in place of
horses.
It is expected that the farmers' associations will be able to
devise some co-operative plans that will give the small farmer
access to the advantages of modern inventions along this line.
WILLAMETTE VALLEY
EXHIBIT AT OMAHA
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
It Is becoming apparent every day
that Salem has made a great bit with
Its exhibit of products and panorama
at the Omaha Land Show. The news
papers of that city have given our
efforts great publicity, and all who
have seen It talk of it with great
praise. One of the most important
results so far is a telegram received
from W. H. Leedy, general immigra
tion agent for the Great Northern
Railway company, at St. Paul. Af
ter seeing the exhibit Mr. Leedy tel
egraphed Secretary Hofer, of the Sa
lem Board of Trade, as follows:
'Have visited the Omaha Land
Show, and am very much impressed
with the splendid exhibit made by the
Willamette valley counties, as well
as the panoramic exhibit of Salem.
It has attracted widespread attention
and will undoubtedly result In great
good to Salem and Willamette valley.
If this entire show could be taken
through the East, visiting some prin.
cipal. medium-sized towns during the
winter, it would be of untold value to
you. Permit me to suggest that your
clubs and individuals start a system
atic canvass to secure funds for tak
ing your wonderful exhibit through
the East. It should also be dis
played at the Omaha Land Show and
other points of interest. Quick ac
tion is necessary If the exhibit Is kept
Intact, as the Omaha show closes Sat
urday night."
It is hardly possible that an effort
will be made t continue this exhibit
as the Board of Trade does not seem
Inclined to attempt the raising of
further funds for this purpose. The
following telegram has been received
from W. E. Coman, of the Oregon
Electric:
Portland, Ore., Oct. 24, 1911.
Secretary Board of Trade, Salem,
Oregon:
Mr. Graham, of Great Northern,
advises Willamette valley exhibit at
tracting great attention at Omaha.
It seems too bad to break up exhibit,
Instead of' taking advantage of dis
playing at St. Paul Land Show and
elsewhere. Would suggest for your
favorable consideration that exhibit
be kept together and given further
display throughout the East."
The following reply has been sent
to Mr. Coman by Secretary Hofer:
"Your wire of this date relative to
i exhibit at Omaha Land Show is re
ceived. We would like very much to
have this exhibit extended to the
other land shows, but the plain truth
is, we haven t the price. e have
supplied Mr. Graham with exhibits
even better than than those we have
Installed at Omaha, which, we under
stand are to be placed at the vari
ous land shows. Thanking you for
your great interest, etc.''
Since this action has been taken
the four counties interested in the
exhibit, Linn, Lane, Benton and Ma
rlon, have authorized the gentlemen
In charge of the exhibit at Omaha to
turn over the entire display to any
responsible party, such as railroad
companies, who might be willing to
further exhibit t,he same at d'ffer
ent points in the East. This, howev
er, under distinct condition that it
must be shown intact as a Willamette
valley exhibit.
THE CHARTER
DEFEATED .
TWO TO ONE
The charter for a commission form
of government met a Waterloo yes
terday.
It is much like the report a boss
on a railroad construction train made
when he stated that "Johnny Smith
was killed."
'What did you do with the re
mains," wired the superintendent.
"There wasnt any remains, he was
kicked by a mule,'' waa the reply.
It was rather generally felt that
the charter would be defeated, but
its friends had hopes for it, and cer
tainly did not anticipate such over,
whelming opposition. It is a waste
of time; to discuss the whys and
wherefores now, for, as the negro
said, "it's done did."

It Has Been Proved Thnt Microbes
Cause Baldness.
Professor I'nna, of Hamburg,
Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the
leading French dermatologist, dis
covered that a microbe causes bald
ness. Their theory has time and
again been amply verified through
research experiments carried on un
der the observation of eminent scien
tists. This microbe lodges In the
Sebum, which Is the natural hair oil,
and when permitted to flourish, It de
stroys the hair follicles and In time
the pores entirely close, and the
scalp gradually takes on a shiny ap
pearance. When this happens there
is no hope of the growth of hair be
ing revived.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff,
exterminate the microbe, promote
good circulation in the scalp and
around the hair roots, tighten and
revitalize the hair roots, and over
come baldness, so long as there Is
any life loft in the hair roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that this
remedy called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will be supplied free of all
cost to the user If it falls to do as
we state.
It will frequently help to restore
gray and faded hair to its original
j color, providing loss of color has
jbeen caused by disease; yet it Is in
no sense a dye. Rexall "93" Hair
' Tonic accomplishes these results by
aiding in making every hair root,
follicle, and pigment gland strong
.and active, and by stimulating anat
1 ural flow of coloring pigment
througout the hair cells.

if not satifled tell us and we will re
