Much of the wisdom of the future must be evolved from
the miserable blunders and failures of the present.

o
BOURNE OF OREGON.
The New York World of recent date gives a whole page to
Senator Bourne.
His picture ornaments the center of the page, and he is not a
bad or vile looking man.
His views, his ideas and his opinions occupy the rest of the
page, and that is going some.
Oregon ha3 either a man of national dimensions- or else all the
rest of the people are fooled.
No man has ever gone from Oregon who has attracted the at
tention that Senator Bourne has attracted.
Whether you like the man or not you will have to admit that
he has got himself into the national spotlight.
He has got into the center of the stage, and there seems to be
no way to brush him out of it at present.
Those who want to displace him in the United States senate
had better get a correct estimate of him.
No small, changeable, vacillating political expediency hunter
can cope with Bourne of Oregon.
Those who hope to do him up at home or make him ridiculous
abroad have a think coming.
o
You have until December 2 to register for the city election. Do
not fail in this, and then be prepared to vote for the amendment
making Salem a better town for the laboring man and the team
ster. You may not have given this any thought, but a prosperous
town is built on the idea of giving employment to the mn who
live here and make their homes here and support their families
here, or who are single men who make their homes here and
spend their money here. The charter amendment for limitation
of contracts on public work work provides that the resident la
borer shall be given the first chance to have employment, and
it is, in our judgment, the proper way to run a city government,
If there are no laborers at Salem who want work it is time
enough to bring in "camps" of contract labor.
" GERMAN FOLKSONG CONCERT.
The allied German societies of this city have arranged for a
German folksong concert on Thanksgiving evening.
The educational value of the folksongs of all nations is being
recognized more and more by educational reformers.
It is better to have the people singing and happy than tearing
each other's eyes out over politics and business.
The German Gesang Verein will also present two of the glor
ious songs of the fatherland songs of the people.
German laborers, farmers- business men, and educated men
all are able to sing their national songs.
Did you ever stop to think that this is an evidence of higher
civilization and that the America people have much to learn?
From the standpoint of the social life of the community the
ribllity of the masses of the people to join spontaneously in song
is very creditable to the Germans.
But the same is true of the Englishman, the Scotchman, the
Welchman, and of some other nationalities.
The folksong is really the measure of the development of any
people along social lines.
o
The people of Salem are proud of their public schools. They
have come to have pride in the work of the city superintendent.
Mr. Towers took the public schools when Mr. Traver quit, and,
under quite a handicap, has built them up to the finest in the
state. We challenge any community of twenty or twenty-five
thousand to show a course of study more up-to-date, an organized
system of public schools more complete than we have at Salem.
Last year Superintendent Powers was engaged for three years,
and his salary raised, without his request. If members of the
Bchool board changed their minds about Mr. Powers, after em
ploying him, the school children, the teachers, the patrons of the
schools and educators generally have not changed theirs. Su
perintendent Powers is easily the most efficient and the most pop
ular public school man this city has ever had. This is said with
out reflecting on any other person, but in justice to a man who
has not asked for newspaper notice, and who has not employed
any means of self-advertising. The financial affairs of the Sa
lem school district are a matter of public administration, and
must be judged on its merits the same as the city or county gov
ernment. Those matters will be investigated and criticised and
condemned or approved ns they have always been by the taxpay
ers, and no great wrong has ever been done by the people.
o
SALEM PUBLIC SCIIO'OLS GROWING.
Following statistics are given The Capital Journal to show the
growth of the public schools.
We have not officially verified the figures, but if they are cor
rect they show a fine growth for this city.
All talk about the public schools being ruined by controversy
between members of the board is nonsense.
The public schools are a public institution, and the public
has a right to know what is going on there.
There has been friction between the city superintendent of
schools and the principal of the high school.
The matter has been pretty well threshed out before the
Board of Education and in the newspapers.
According to the resolution adopted by the school board, there
should be no room for further controversy.
The following statistics are for the first' month of last year and
this year ,and for November, 1911:

NO CASCARET USER
EVER HAS HEADACHE
I
A 10-cent box will keep your liver,
stomach and bowels clean, pure
and fresh for months.
Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermenting food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stom
ach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the
intestines, Instead of being cast out
of the system Is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue, It causes con
gestion and that dull, throbbing,
sickening headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and pur
gative waters force a passageway
for a day or two yes but they
don't take the poisons out and have
no effect upon the liver or stomach.
Cascarets immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all the decomposed waste
matter and poisons in the intestines
and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep a 10-cent box
from your druggist means , Inside
cleanliness and a clear head for
months. Ask any of the millions of
Cascaret users If they ever have
headache.

Howling (ireen, Ky., R. No. 4.
"Gentlemen: I wish to say for your
Alterative that I believe It to be a med
icine of unequaled value for all Bronchial
and Lung trouble.
"The Spring of 1908, 1 had a severe
Ornish for six months. I tried all the
medicine that my friends and doctors
ccommenled to me, but no results came
for the better. I had ntgbt sweats, and
would cough and spit up every night
until I got so weak I could hardly do auy
tblng. But at last, James Deerlug, of
Glasgow Junction, Insisted that I try your
medicine, which I ordered at once and
began taking the srme. In one week's
time there was quite an Improvement In
my condition, and after I bad taken sev
eral bottles I felt as well as ever In my
life. I nver wrote any firm or company
a lffter recommending their medicine be
fore, as there are so manv fakes that a
medicine of genuine quality don't set
credit or even tried.
"I deire the world to know that 1
firmly believe that your Eckman's Alter
atlve will cure any case of lung trouble It
taken before the last stage. I will gludly
w.te personally to any party wanting In
formation In regard to your wonderful
medicine." (Signed Affidavit!

WHAT WE DO
CHAPTER 19. Is Your Dollar Working
What Is It Earning?
Many peopel work hard for a dollar but do not stop to
think that the dollars they have earned could be put 'to work
to help earn other dollars.
A man of large, financial means once held up a silver
dollar ot the view of the writer and said "A dollar invested is
the best workman I have, I employ a lot of people but
some of them are complaining or kicking all the time. Some
of the best of them get sick sometimes and then it's hard
to get a substitute. Take them as a whole and they are
never satisfied but when I put a dollar to work it works nicjht
and day for me and at the end of a year I'm sure of its
earning with never a kick." This fellow made a very large
part of his fortune by knowing how to make every dollar
that came into his possession work for him at the highest
rate of income a dollar could produce. Is your dollar earn
ing for you all that it is possible for a dollar to earn?
The story is told of how a man started out to find a "job
for his dollar, He first went to a banker and said, "I want
a job for my dollar; how much will you pay me for it for a
year,"' The banker said, "I'll give you four per cent 4
cents," Said the fellow, "You will loan that dollar out again
for six, eight or ten per cent, Do I get any of the profit
you make over four .cents," "No," said the banker, "that's
our profit, You see we have the risk of loaning your dollar
and besides we have so many other fellow's dollar here that
some of them may want theirs, so the law won't alow us
to loan out more thna 80 cents of your dollar anyway, Four
per cent is really all we can afford to pay and we couldn't
do that if you didn't agree to leave your dollar at least a
year, You see a bank acts more as a depository for people
who expect to use their dollars soon than for people who
want to put their dolars to work permanently," "I've
worked too hard to get that dollar to let it out for. a whole
year for four cents," said the man and walked out.
The fellow then went to a dealer in bonds and said: "I
want a job for my dollar. How much can you get me for
it?" The bond dealer in answer said, "We can furnish you
some very good railroad bonds which will give you five cents
a year for your dollar, We have some good corporation
bonds which will pay you six cents for your dollar," "If
these fellows who hire my dollar make more than' five or
six cents with it, after paying the costs of management, et
cetera, how much do I get out of it?" "Well," said the bond
dealer, "you don't get any more than your five or six cents,
Even if the property in which your dollar is invested gets
more valuable on account of full development of the country
or anything of that sort, you don't get any more, You see
the only reason these fellows want your dollar is because
they can get it for five or six cents and make a good profit
over that for themselves," "Much obliged, Mister, but I'm
going to see if I can find a place where my dollar earns as
much as anybody's dollar, A friend told me I conld. invest
my dollar with Bohrnstedt and that my dollar would go right
beside Bohrnstedt's dollar and it would earn just as much as'
his dollar, i'm going to call on Bohrnstedt.''
How the fellow found a job for his dollar with Bohrnstedt
will be told tomorrow. You can find out for yourself by fill
