Miss Minerva Reinlnger, Upper Bern,

nervous prostration, and was utterly
wretched. I lived on bread and beet
tea because my stomach would not re
tain anything else. I took many rem

took Hood's Sarsaparllla, when I began
to gain at once. Am now cured." j
Pure, rich blood makes good, strong

ASSESSMENTS ABE UNEQUAL.
s
THE CAPITAL JOURNAL dislikes
very much to be drawn into con
troversies over public improve
monts, but conditions are such
that no public improvement can
bo mentioned without reusing ructions.
Yet it seems this cannot bo avoided.
The Capital Journal, as it lias repeated
ly said, and as it now reiterates, has no
feeling against any man in Salom, public
official or other, but one of Its duties
as a newspaper is to give publicity to
all maters of interest to its readers, and
to voice for the public complaints
against what that public thinks unwise
or unjust measures. The community
paper, in a sense, belongs to the com
munity. It is their mouthpiece. It re
ccrds their joys, their sorrows, births,
weddings and deaths, keeps them in
formed of all that is going on in the
community. Through it they tell to
thoir friends of births and deaths, mar
riages and happenings, social events,
everything they caro to let their
friends know about, and it is through
the community paper alone that thoy
are able to give their views on public
natters, and to voice their complaints.
If in doing those things, a newspa
per offends some, it cannot bo avoided,
for men agree on few things.
Monday Mrs. Rosa Markiovitch ask
ed us to look Into certain street paving
affairs, anil help ner to get relief, from
what she considers unjust treatment by
the city council, or its committees. The
lady says she has placed the matter be
fore some of the councilmen, and the city
engineer, but has been put off and
given no satisfaction.
Ilor complaint is in substance that
she is overcharged for street improve
ments, and she makes this showing. She ' ilization,
owns property fronting on North Front
street, just south of Division street,
and on the west side of Front. The lots
along the west side of Front streot, she
says, are all 82 by 82 feet. The corner
lot Division and Front on the south
side is owned by 8. E. limit. The as
sessment for paving against this lot is
"li.1.80. She owns tha adjoining lot on
the south, it having tho same frontage
as Mr. Hunt's, ami her assessment is
434.70. Tho lot adjoining hers to the
south, same frontage as hers, is as
sessed at .118 to $.127, she is not cer
tain. The next lot to that south of the
latter, same size, belonging to C. 8.
Rose, is assessed at $.100. This assess
ment she claims is unjust to her, and
H certainly seems to bo on her showing.
Hhe ennnot understand why the cor
ner lot tho same sir.o as hers is as
sensed at 2i)!i.80, tho lot to tho south of
her property at .118.50, while her prop
erty is taxed at $134.70. She is taxed
1.10.70 more thnn tho lot adjoining her
to the north, and about 11.1 more thnn
the lot adjoining her to the south, yet
all three lots have the same frontage.
On tho face of the returns, sho is un
justly treated and has a kick coming,
and that Is why the Capital .lourns!
cheerfully makes said kick for her. If
the conditions are as she claims, they
should be remedied, and if there Is any
real reason for this difference in charge
for the same work, it should ,be ex
plained to her. It is not probnblo this
will bo done so long as Councilman
Stols is at the head of the street com
mittee. The Capital Journal sent a re
porter to this gentleman this morning,
who told him the paper wnnted to treat
him and all concerned with absolute fair
ness) and asked him to explain the mat
tor, instead of getting any Informa
tion, the reporter was told that The
Capital Journal was not fit for decent
people to rend, which statement and
opinion ta probably what causes Coun
cilman Stolz to peruse it. He also got
an evasive statement from Concilman
Stolz that explained nothing, only that
the Honorable Chairman of tho street
eommittco was positive the work was
done during Mayor Rogers' term and
that Engineer Skolton was in charge
of tho work, which is a mistake as the
work ended last August under Mayor
Lachmuud. Ho also made an extended
comment on the Capital Journal gener
ally which would undoubtedly make
pungent and spicy reading if it didn't
scorch the paier or set fire to the press.
However, if that little outburst of tem
per relieved tho Hon. Gideon's feelings,
we have no objection and suggest that
be do it some more. Maybe he could
get a better' mix on it next timo. It is
up to the council to see that justice is
done Mrs. Markicvitch, for it is a cer
tainty that neither the members of tho
city council nor the other city officials
wish to do the lady an injustice or
work a hardship on her.
DISTRICT SCHOOL MEETING DAY
OTERINTENDENT of Public In
struction Alderman calls attention
to the fact that the annual school
meetings of the state will be hold
June 10th, next Monday, and urg
es the people generally to attend them.
Mr. Alderman is eminently correct in
insisting that it is ono of the most im
portant day in the year, but at the same
time the most neglected one.- Ho says
"tho peoplo get In any form of govern
ment about what they demand " and the
attendance at the annual school meeting
or rather the lack of attendance, shows
that in educational matters the people
are demanding nothing. This is far
from being as it should bo. Tho public
school is of vital importance to our civ-
The education of our children
surely is a mattor that requires more
than just voting money for the main
tenance of schools, and turning our
children ovor to teachers In whom we
take no interest, and whom most of us
do not oven know. If the teachers took
no more interest in the schools than the
parents do, the public schools would
soon becomo utterly useless.
It is tho duty of ovcry citizen to at
tend tho annual school meeting, get ac
quainted with conditions, know the kind
of building his children are housed in,
what sort of conveniences are supplied
them, what conditions surround them,
in fact be fully informed as to all mat
ters pertaining to tho school or schools
of their district. As theso annual meet
ings arc practically ignored, being at
tended generally by tho board of di
rectors, tho school clerk and tho teach
ers, they are not calculated to work up
any grent amount of enthusiasm on the
pnrt of either school officials or teach
ers. This should be changed. Take an
hour or two off next Monday and at
tend tho school meeting. Get acquaint
ed with tho teachers to whom you have
entrusted your children's education
Givo the teachers tho little encourage
ment at least, of knowing that you are
really interested In your children's ed
ucation. Tho school teacher's work is
onerous, wearying and worrying. It is
an occupation requiring the nicest tact,
the studying and understanding of chll
dron and their management, and they
surely deservo the little compliment of
your attendance, and tho encouragement
of your presence, Try It next Monday,
that time. They are no longer so. The
old chicken shed now doing duty as a
depot should be pensioned and retired.
It has seen Salem grow from a country
village of a thousand or two people, In
to a thrifty city of nearly 20,000. It
has stood faithfully down by the old
railroad track and seen its fellow shacks
up town give place to six and seven
story brick blocks. It is time for it to
be retired and for the Southern Pacific
to put up a depot that is not offensive
to the sight. Here at the capital city
of the state, strangers alighting from an
S. P. train imagine they have struck
some barn, for the old depot hos most
of the crude elements of a barn with
few of the latters conveniences and com
forts. There are some rumors of the S. P.
changing its depot site, locating it up
nearer the center of town, but as to this,
it is so far only rumors. If it is done
well and good, but as there is no cer
tainty of this , this great big corpora
tion ought to get down to business prin
ciples and exercise a little business
sense.
It owns a line of railroad between
Portland and Salem. Tt has a rival in
the Oregon Electric which has its of
fices up town and convenient, and is
doing most of the passenger business
between this city and Portland. The S.
P. not only owns this railroad, but it
owns the Salem street car lines. One
would think that in its own interest it
would connect its street car lines with
its main line, down at the venerable old
woodshed doing duty as a depot, and
make it reasonably convenient for pas
sengers desiring to go to Portland to
reach its trains. Instead of this its
street cars dump you off a block away
from the old depot. People do not have
to patronize the S. P. and so long as no
efforts are made by it to provide for
their comfort or convenience, they will
eontinuo to patronize the Oregon Elec
tric.
THE DEPOT IS A DISGRACE
AI.EM is long suffering and full
of patience. More than 40 years
ago Hen llolliday and the O. ft C,
bunch built their line of rrllroad
into Salem. It was a village
then, and the conveniences In the way
of a passenger depot wore sufficient for

The City Must Act
Eil. Journal: You are right in pro
testing against re-advertising the sower
bonds. Hundreds of dollars have been
spent in Eastern newspapers, and the
money is wasted. The mayor and city
attorney have foiled to take the first
step to give them jurisdiction to sell the
sower bonds. They were issued by a
people's initiative amendment to the
charter, by which the city assumes the
loins agninst the abutting property.
That step has been authorized by the
people, but flint step has not been taken
by tho city administration. An ordi
nance must be passed assuming the sew
er liens on tho part of tho city govern
ment. Until that is done the liens arc
against the property of the citizens.
Tho city has no authority to sell he
bonds until the city assumes the liens
to cancel which the bonds are pro,
vided. An ordinance assuming the sew
er bond Issue would clear all our prop
erty of the cloud on the titlo created by
the sewer assessment. Alter that is
done tho city can sell tho bonds. You
are right in calling down the admin
istration for further delaying action.

THE
AD. MAN'S
CORNER
CHURCH ADVERTISING.
(Continued from Monday)
"Many persons do not realize these
things. May be they have tried one
church or another or many and have
not yet found one in which they can
feel at home. Outside the many thon-
sands who go to church because thev
iikb n or uecuuse mey Deueve it to
be their duty, there are many thou
sands who do not go not because they
are necessarily wicked or depraved,
but because they have not found the
church and the preacher and the con
gregation to enlist their sympathies
and make them want to go.
"The great purpose of all churches
is to bring theso people in .
Everybody reads advertising. If this
were not a pretty well established fact
the present topic would never have
come up for discussion in fact there
wouldn't be an Air" Club in Seattle or
anywhere else. Everybody does not
read every advertisement, but every
good advertisement of a good thing
appearing in a publication that holds
the confidence of its readers is bound
to bring results.
"By advertising not noisily, not in
competition with one another, not by
taking great spaces, but decently and
reverently the church may well hope
to inspire in the public mind the same
, conrnlence that every honest, legiti.
! mate advertiser inspires in himself and
in what ho has to offer. And certainly
the churches, offering the Greatest
Thing in the World, could not fail by
such advertising to get good results."
The clergymen have admitted that
newspaper advertising is proper paid
publicity for the churches, and here is
a professional man touching on certain
phases of church life which may well
be advertised. It seems time that the
leading churches of Salem could, with
profit to themselves, employ an adver
tising writer who would make as logi
cal and effective an appeal in behalf
of the churches as is made daily iu the
columns of the Salem newspapers for
various corporations and private in
dustries. I should like to see sharp,
well-written and attractive church ads
tried out by the Salem churches.
