SHOILD HAVE lTIIMC DOCK. IT Is not no very long since tho city had a chanco to buy l'alrinount Pailc, and turned It down. It could not bo bought now for three or four times tho modest price for which It was of fered to the city. That was a nilslalie, and It la useless to talk about It r.ow, other than In tho way of Illustrating tho loss that follows neglected oppor tunity, and to profit by It In the way of avodlng another serious inlBtniii) of a similar character. Just now there is no especially urg ent demand for greater nnd better dock facilities on tho river frontage, though they are really needed now; but In tno not. very removo future this demand will bo largely Increased. As Tho Journal slated yoBterdny, tho IT. S. en gineers have elaborate plans for a series of dams and locks In the river, nnd It is only a question of time, nnd not a very great time, cither, until thoso plans, or something like them, will bo carried out, and tho Willamette valley opened to navigation at u'l sea- mis of tlie year, nnd nil hI.wh of the ruer. When this time arrives '-va!v from- ago v l'l not be available at any ro Boiinblo figures, nnd It Is tho part wisdom tojiecuro a site for a public dock, nnd tho sooner tho better. Al most any town would subscribe liberal ly to a railroad that would bring the volume of trade to It that comes to Sa lem over tho Willamette river, even , now, nnd, whllo wo hove this trade, we should seo to It. that wo do not permit It to bo taken nway from us, especially as it Is a rapidly growing trade. The river furnishes the means of reaching market from a territory that, from Its nature, will never bo served by the railroads, or, at least, never served so well as it now is by tho river nnd the steamboats. To bold nnd control this trade, a public dock Is nn absoluto necessity, nnd It Is up to Salem to ptovldo It, An attempt to do this has been made, but. unfortunately, It failed but steps should be taken to secure a slto for tUJ dock nt once, so that neither private Individuals nor lnlmlcnl corporations can cut Salem off from tho big trade assured to her from points along the river. of ONE WEEK MOKE. ONE week more and the polttlcnl question will bo settled or at least It will nil bo over except the counting. Tho voice of tho strong th mated patriot, will bo suddenly hushed, nnd the editors of some of the big dally pnpers ran go to Bleep In peace, not having longer to ndvlse every voter In Oregon how ho should vote on each and every one of tho IIS measures on tho ballot. Tho malls, thoso of tho newspapers especially, will ceaso to be burdened with tons of campaign stuff, sent In tho generally villi) hope of getting doodles of free publication for this that or the other pot measure, bobby or candidate. Undoes will disappear from tho lupels, nnd tho newspapers will be barren of campaign guesses nnd prognostica tions. The (i. (1. 1. elephant, the Deniiiciiilie donkey nnd the denial dis play ef the progressives will be ditched any old place, and the coun try will take a fre.-h grip on itself; gel n fresh brenlli nnd proceed, each citi zen In his own way. to chase the coy and elusive dollar. We are glad it Is so. 'I'll K I' All 11 1 ION 01" TIKhEY. iy IlKNKVKll Turkey has a war or " a threat of one there Is always a revival of the talk about changing the map of Europe and the partition of the Ottoman empire. The chancellor ies of Europe nro already busy In filing their claims for slices of Turk ish territory, with about this result: Austria through the neck of Novl rnzav will seize- Macedonia nnd the Egean port of Salonika. (iertnatiy as her sphere of Influence will proclaim Mesopotamia as far down as lhigdad and Southern Asia minor, at least. Russia will gain Armenia. Kurdis tan nnd nt least a strip along the Ulack Sea shore of Asia Minor. Italy already has Trlpollu and will nsk for Albania, opposite her own heel. England, as iulHtresg of the lied Sea nnd Persian liulf, will ronslder all Arabia nnd the Euphrates-Tigris ba sin south of Hagdnd n.t her portion. Tho powers Intimate that a parti tion of Turkey along these general lines would effect a settlement nnd avoid a general European war. The point of present Interest about the scheme Is that It Ignores the preten sions of the lialkan states. If Aus trln takes Macedonia and Italy takes Albania, all that would be left for Mulgarla would be the Adrlanople dis trict, even if Constantinople were thrown In ns sop, and' by tho same token Greece, Montenegro nnd Sorvln would be sewn tip completely. Oreeco might be placated by Crete and the Egenn Islands, but Sorvln nnd Monte negro could look forward to nothing better than a separate existence per mitted by grnco of Austria. The warning of the powers to the Balkan states that even In case of successful war not one of them will bo permitted to annex a foot of Turk ish territory, Indicate the ultimate de sign in Europe's mind. Tho real counter move to this of the powers Is not wnr against Turkey, which is hazardous nnd will prove nn remuneratlve, but closo confederation among Bulgaria, Servla and Montene gro, and, If possible, of flreoco and Itoumanln. Such a co-operntlon Is probably Impossible, but at lenst a hnrd-and-fast combination between Bulgaria and Servla, aided by nn Inti mate understanding with the other states Is possible. The Balkans will have to learn as tho parts of Italy had to learn, that local animosities must give place to a peninsular consciousness nnd tbnt to a national patriotism If the Balkans aro to arrive at the Bummlt of their development. Tho danger Is lest they learn tho lesson too late. For Marshal. The undersigned hereby announces his candidacy for city marshal and chief of police, subject to the -city pri maries. D. W. OIDSON.
