NOVEMBER 21. 1911. 1 1 . 1 i : A GREAT NAVAL GRAFT. After all the talk of arbitration and peace of the world, comes Colliers with a page article for a greater navy. It shows that we are powerless to dfend our coasts against Germany, and that the Pacific coast is at their mercy. . ' The kaiser could swoop down on our unguarded western cit ies and make mince meat of Uncle Sam in 48 hours. What Colliers gets from the gunmakers and the steel trust for that page of rot no one will evernkow, or even think of. But that it is excessive speculative rot no one can doubt who reads between the lines or know, or even think of. If the thirteen colonies could lick England at sea and land in their infancy, what could America do now to Germany? It is folly to stampede this government into expenditures of millions for steel battleships and fortifications. But a3 one great folly succeeds another it will probably be done, and the article in Colliers, followed by all the national for sale publications. . When the army and navy areregarded as a gigantic graft we will come nearer getting at the truth of things. Laboring men of this city should see to it that they are reg istered and vote for the amendment to the charter that gives a resident laboring man or teamster the first right to employ ment on public work. If there are no Salem men with homes and families out of a job it is time enough to import labor. But when Salem residents and home owners ana people who have to pay rent and taxes to keep this city going are out of work it is rough to bring in all kinds of transient labor and take the bread, and butter out of their mouths, and leave them unable to pay for their homes and send their children to school. Vote for the amendment to the charter providing that preference be given to the home laborer. ' AMEND THE PRIMARY LAW. The present Direct Primary law has no proper relation to the city affairs, as it is a party primary. The non-partisan primary should be adopted at the coming city election. Let us strike the first blow for freedom from the impractical, expensive law we now have. Let Salem take the first steptoward a higher and better sys- -tern of nominations and elections of city officials. That is the combination of the Des Moines and Tacoma plans, sand we already have the initiative and referendum. ' . ' We already have the recall and the non-partisan ; primary will give us the most practice! election system, possible. " That amendment should receive the support' of every citizen who wants to free the dity of partisan machinery. The present primary law disiranchises all but members of the Republican and Democratic parties. It is un-American and excludes the business man by being held on Saturday afternoon. Adopt the non-partisan primary law to be held on Monday afternoon, and where all citiv.ens can vote on equal terms. , o i- THE PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO. ieei ior me ooya nisiue tau ueip ameliorate this condition by sending a dollar for a year's subscription. The horse editor rises to remark that the Corvallis Gazette-Times, editorially, locally and "newsily," is one of the brightest and most up-to-date little dailies on the coast. A New York girl had a letter published in an Oregon City paper, saying she wanted a nice young man, and got 63 replies from that place. This Is a hard slam at Oregon City girls. Those- answering are perhaps not familiar with the proverb: "It is better to bear the ins that you have, than fly to those you know not of." And this, by the way, is not flattering either. As a matter of fact, the' Oregon City girls are hand some and bright enough to almost make one, forget ' Salem's bevy of beauties. a Gypsy Smith says of the Salvation Army, 'God pity you.' And this be cause he thinks a Christian should not put on any decorations or bodges Indicative of his religion. Some folks see no more yirm in a Salvation Poke bonnet, or red trimmed cap than they do ln a "voclferosity of vtrbifuge.'V A . loud bonnet is no worser than a loud mouth. o ' , He. Was Germ Proof. Anent the Individual drinking cup fad the Brownsville Times has the following: "A fond m'other of Brownsville, whose little son had Just entered school, was informed by him on hl9 return at noon the first day that he would have to buy a drinking cup for himself in order to avoid con tact iwith the germs that are oh the other cups.' She gave him a quarter for that purpose, and when he .came home at night he marched up to her proudly, and said: 'Mamma, don't you want to see my new folding cup?' 'Why, yes,, my son,' and he began to empty his poc'kets in search, of his new possession. "The first article brought forth waa a .handkerchief which looked like a last year's bird nest. She took that out of his hand, and, noticing some rjA stains on U, asked : 'Did you have the nosebleed?' 'No, mamma, Jimmy did ,and he didn't have a handkerchief, so I lent him mine.' The next article was a rusty old mouth organ, and In explanation the boy said: 'This Is our band, and we take turns "playing soldiers.' The third article -was a dead mouse In a fair state of prservatlon, and below this was found the germless drinking cup. o BEATS THE BATHS . South Carolina has been greatly astounded by the census re port, which shows that a majority of the farms of the state are owned by negroes. When the preliminary report to that effect was made some of the South Carolina editors stoutly denied its accuracy, but the complete figures show that the negroes own 99,969 of the 176, 180 farms of South Carolina, according to the 1910 census. While the white farmer holds a larger acreage than the ne groes, the black men of South Carolina have a majority of the farms, having apparently realized their dreams of slave days of some day owning "forty acres and a mule." With the development of thecotton manufacturing industry in the South much of the available white labor has been drawn to the mills and factories, leaving the negro a freer hand as a tiller of the soil, says the Nashville Tennessean. The negro is a natural cotton grower, and a poor mill hand. The good prices that have been obtained for cotton in the last few years have enabled the thrifty negroes to get their small farms, and pay for them, thus making them self-supporting and prosperous, instead of a dead weight on the community, as they are apt to become when they get away from the soil. It should be a source f pride to the negro race that within 46 years after the Civil War the former slave population of South Carolina includes within its ranks a substantial majori ty of the actual land holders. Welcome Words to Women 1 m Women who tufTer with disorders peculiar to their sci thould write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the advioe of i phyaician of over 40 years' experience a skilled and successful specialist in the disease o! women.

I laments, runs Has Made a Snendld Record In on Exceedingly Short Time. Flint, Mich.,' Is becoming famous as the home city of a new cure for rheumatism which has been used with such Buccess as . to . attract at tention from all over the country. The new medicine la called "Fuss." 1, C. Millard, . manufacturer of the remedy, when seen at his residence, 525 Harrison street, Flint, Mich., ad mitted that the new cure had made a great record in a short time. "We have had patients come here from Mt CJernens and o'ther cities where they had failed to get relief," he said, 'and -the medicine has cured them. Fuss goes to the root of the disease. It operates upon every por tion of the body. It dissolves and eliminates the poison from the sys tem; It Invigorates the muscles, and Umbers the stiffened Joints. ' It acta upon the liver and kidneys, remov ing, from them all Irritants, restor ing them to perfect health and regu larity." . Among the large number of testi monials, Mr. Millard exhibited the following: C. K. Herndon, Maryvllle, Mo., says: 'This may certify that I have taken Fuss for rheumatism and I believe It is the best remedy for this disease in the market today. I have been to Mt Clemens three times and St Louis once within the past 15 years, but did not receive mueh rellef.

Fuss Remedy Co., Flint, Mich. o SKIN A MASS OF FIRE Horrible torture pain, unedur able days when the whole body seems to be burning up long nights of sleepless agony Then Iiuttant relief the skin cooled and refreshed all burning and Itching gone!

We have shown you how in our companies, labor and capital cooperate. Some members of our companies put in both capital and labor, Some put ' in capital and no labor, Some put in labor and no capital, We who are laborers are putting our money bacK into the business, as fast as we get it, Most of those who put capital into the business, put their returns back as fast as they get them, It pays, The man who puts in $100,00 has - the same rate of profit, as the man who puts in $25,000,00, It provides . a place where the man wiht small means can invest on the same basis as the man with large capital. " There is nowhere on earth, a commodity, which will legitimately yield " so much for the capital invested, as the earth itself, The same principle of economy, which makes the large business in other lines pay well, can be and is applied in ours, We have told you how experts select our lands, .These men take no chances. They analyze the soil and bore it at stated "distances, Outsiders cooperate with us principally -in two ways. First, Those who have money, no matter whether the amount be large or small, secure with us an interest in the business, thus securing the same rate of profit as we secure from our farming and fruit raising operations, Certificates are issued showing the amount each person invests, Second,. The second plan by which those with .capital may cooperate" with us is by buying adjacent property, In the case of fruit land the property is of course worth more to us if the country is thickly populated, The value of all land increases the more thickly populated it becomes, and better it is improved, Therefore, if any one wishes to hold title to the land, we sell fruit lands outright in tracts of five, ten and twenty acceS anil upwards,' But we will not allow these lands. to be idle, A man must -either start an orchard,' or we will sell the land to him at such prices that we, can afford to plant trees ana care for the land for five years, After five years, one of these orchards will sustain a family and pay returns in addition, We cultivate the land by our cooperative methods for the first five years, so that during the growing period those w-ho desire qn orchard, . but do not feel they can leave the occupations 'at which they are engaged until the orchard is able to support them, are in this way sure of having a first class orchard, and are still able to earn more for themselves than they' could possibly earn by simply caring for a five or ten-acre tract during its first five years of growth, We also . select and buy small farms which we sell to those who desire to own their own land, -These farms are all situated near our own property, . In addition to the foregoing, there is at the present time an opportunity to secure some of the 7 percent Cumulative Prefered Stock of the A, C, Bohrnstedt Company, which is as safe as a bond and has the added advan tage of sharing in any additional dividends up to 10 per cent,' A good thing always has its imitators and followers, Since the suc cess of our company is assured various other companise have been formed on similar lines, They all lack one thing, however, and to us it seems to be the vital point, . This point may be expressed in one word, "Coopera tion," That idea. more than anv other assures the success of our work. WHAT WE DO IN A NUTSHELL: ' . Summing everything up: What we do is cooperative farming and fruit growing on a large scale, and we have organized companies so that any one who has $100.00 or more to invest can at all times find an investment with us in either our wheat or fruit companies, We also se4i to those who desire to own their own farms or orchards, If interested kindly fill out and returns to us the attached coupon, The A.
