LET US GET TOGETHER WEEKLY.
Some of the Live Ones in the Board of Trade are planning a
weekly tret-together for Salem business men.
They are tryin to have a round-up at the next Monday noon
i.'.i xr-u.n for ths fitavton railroad.
The transportation committee is ftoing to meet and take that
matter up along practical lines of construction
At the same time other business matters will be talked over
like mountain water, theatre fire escapes, etc.
Salem has many home matters to conisder, and the way to
start the week off right is to gettogether and boost.
The dead town is where the business men never meet, ana
each one stays in his corner and gnaws at his bone.
Let us have the best thought and the co-operative effort of the
live ones applied to forward movements.

The council should be warned not to go any farther into the
promotion of real estate schemes. Putting the city behind the
street, sewer, water main and gas main bonds of the Oaks ad
dition was done in good faith, and on the advice of the city attor
ney but the law was stretched, and a slump in the real estate
market might leave the city with a bill to pay. If the city un
dertook to do the same thing ona large scale there would be a
temptation ta wildcatting that no councilman could resist. The
Oaks addition is one of the finest pieces of property in the city,
and the city will probably never lose a cent, but the plan is a
dangerous one, and should not be repeated.
o
MORALS AND AGRICULTURE.
EDUCATION
PROMOTING
AGRICULTURE
State Superintendent Alderman has a hobby and one that
commends itself to every right thinking man and woman.
Improve the charms of farm life and character at the same
time.
It is to the interest of the boys and girls on the farms in be
coming producers instead of developing into idlers.
Alderman's system will require no new officials or appropria
tions. He asks the co-operation of the school teachers in directing
thought along the lines of raising things.
There will be more honesty nnd less idlers and loafers.
The boy or girl who can be interested in becoming a producer
by labor on the land is saved from vice.
Dishonesty is the product of defective systems of education.
There is no substitute for honest labor and a vital feeling of
partnership with nature in the country.
The garden, sheep, calves and dogs are not demoralizing so
ciety. The idling, Rporting, gum or tobacco-chewing street loafer,
whether boy or girl, is the problem of society.
Industry can only be learned by becoming profitable produc
ers. They are not produced alone in the cities and towns, but there
are many boys and girls in need of helpful, corrective direction
toward productive labor in the country.
Think about it, and give Superintendent Alderman your help
ful support.
The proposition to raise saloon licenses from six hundred a
year to nine hundred dollars a year has no moral basis whatev
er. It is not claimed that it will reduce the number of saloons or
prevent multiplying more saloons. By making the saloons now in
existence put up fifty per cent more license, money those who
say the liquor traffic of itself is indefensible evil become to that
extent further participants in the revenues of the business.
From a purely moral standpoint, the evil of higher licenses is
that the saloons must sell more liquor to the same customers to
make the increased revenues. The man who takes two drinks
must take three drinks to pay the increased profits required to
pay the raise. Is that a good proposition? Are you not driving
the saloon man to work the crowd at the bar to the limit, and
further to encourage illegitimate practices to get the money of
the public. The necessity for more revenues means that there
ahall be more treating and more drinking than is necessary.
Political economists tell us there is a revenue point beyond which
traffic is stimulated in the direction of law breaking.' Is not six
hundred dollars a year a safer revenue point for Salem saloons
than nine hundred dollars a year? The business man knows
that the average saloon at present is not making a great deal of
money. About two liquor dealers in the city have made for
tunes, while dozens of men in other lines have grown rich.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL'S SERMON.
Hie sermon by Pastor Russell, published in this paper is
very much appreciated by readers and the publisher.
Thousands of persons so situated as not to be able to go to
religious services enjoy reading the sermons.
The publishers enjoy publishing them, because the Watch
Tower, a religious weekly, clubs with The Journal
Hundreds of subscribers to the Weekly Capital Journal have
been received, with cash enclosed with order.
That is the kind of religion that goes a gooil wavs in t i
world that does not. only ask. but sometimes gives '
The man in business who never has any business for the other
fellow soon geUs to the standstill point.
Soon after reaching that he begins to go slowly and imper
ceptibly backward on the long downhill snde.
Moral: Once in a while let a little business slip the other f, l
low's way, if you would succeed. tru
This world is built on reciprocity, and h-11 is sure of the man
who takes no interest in his neighbor.
Ixwe your neighbor as yourself, and before he dies let him
know it in a concrete form of kindness.

L. R. Alderman, superintendent of
public instruction, lias is.-ued follow
ing circular to the school teachers Df
On-eon:
Knowing that you are willing to
on-operate in educational work, 1
ask you to co-operate- this year hy
encouraging all your pupils In the
crowing of crops, domestic science
and poultry raising. Children like
to do things and will respond to your
encouragement. Your comity will
hold a fair at which your pupils will
be asked to exhibit what they raise
or make. The best of these exhibits
will be brought to t'.ie state fair
where liberal prizes will be award'd.
Ask your pupils how many of them
would like to have a Shetland pony,
thorough-bred Jersey calf worth
$100, a pure bred pig that would take
the prize at any stock show, a pure
bred sheep with wl so thick that
they would have to feel around to
find Its eyes, or a goat with flo3sy
hair that reaches to the ground; or
secure a fine Scotch Collie puppy
that knows as much as some people,
or win a money prize that will buy
just what they want. All these
prizes and many more are to be giv
en at the state fair next fall.
Ask if they know how to grow po
tatoes, pumpkins, squashes, corn,
popsorn, et cetera. Ask how many
of them like watermelons or musk-
melons. The reason so many boys
and girls In Oregon do not grow
watermelons is because they are
afraid the other boys will steal them.
If they all grow watermelons, there
will be no one to steal.
Ask them If they know how to feed
chickens. If they buy three settings
of eggs from one neighbor, and three
hens from another, and In March put
the two together, they will probably
raise some prize-winners for the
fair, The children of Oregon can dou
ble the egg production In three years.
Ask them If they know that the
size of the pumpkin does not depend
upon the size of the boy or the girl
who plants the seed. I know a girl
six years old who raised corn 14
feet high. Let us show people that
we are the most alive children In the
world by 75,000 out of our 125,000
children exhibiting at the county
fairs, and 33,000 at the state fair.
Last year 14,000 children In Iowa had
exhibits at fairs. Let us beat theni
two to one.

terday said the Carnegie plant was
sold for $250,uiMi,n.0 and that It
would have been cheap at three tims
that price, and that the last year he
owned it, the profit was $40,000. All
of which shows that the public paid
for Its products more than they were
reasonably worth, b-it it paid for lots
of libraries.
A White Salmon man. a recent im
portation from the VCast, shot several

The O. A. C. is spending good
money to make some poor cooks
having started a class In camp cook
ing taught by a lady whose knowl
edge of camp life would lead her to
suppose a mountain range was some
thing to cook on. Anyway, it can be
said of the 0. A. C. that it hasn't
gone so far as Salem High. It
hasn't tried to make wet nurses out
of kindergarten pupils or as yet of
old bachelors.

IT GROWS HAIR.
Here Are Facts We Want Ton to
Trove at Our Risk.
Marvelous as it may seem, Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course
in none of these cases were the hair
roots dead, nor had the scalp taken
on a glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts scien
tifically, destroying the germs which
are usually responsible for baldness.
It penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. It
Is a most pleasant toilet requisite, Is
delicately perfumed, and will not gum
or permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and use it
as directed. If It does not relieve
scalp Irritation, remove dandruff, pre
vent the hair from falling out and
promote an Increased growth of hair,
and In every way give entire satis
faction, simply come back and tell
us, and without question or formal
ity we will hand back to you every
penny you paid us for It. Two sizes,
