WHEN VOTERS FAIL TO REGISTER.
EGISTRATION for the primaries will close tnnight
and there will be thousands of citizens of Marion
county, men and women, who have voluntarily dis-
' enfranchised themselves by failure to comply with
the law. The will not be entitled to participate in uw se
lection of candidates for office. Many of these voters are
taxpayers and complain of the burden of unnecessary ex
penses saddled upon county and state by acts of their of
ficials, yet they have not interest enough m the govern
ment to go to the courthouse and enroll as legal voters
that they may have a voice in the primaries of the party
they affiliate with. The moral to be drawn from the small
registration totals is that the responsibilities of citizen
ship are held too lightly that a great many voters are
interested only in reform when taxpaymg time comes,
and then only from a personal standpoint as it aftects
their pocketbooKS. iney no nut wtm iu "
this government of the people every man and, under equal!
suffrage, every-woman have duties to perform which if,
neglected tend toward corrupt, vicious or wasteful gov-l
ernment, legislative and administrative alike. The peo
ple have it in their power to make and unmake officials at
will and through tnem to enact or repeat legisiauuu. r e
officials or representatives in the legislature will pursue a
course in opposition to chrystalized public sentiment-expressed
at the polls, because their tenure of office de
pends upon their acquiescence to the popular will.
The first and simplest duty of the citizen is to register
and thus qualify himself as a voter, and it follows that he
should go to the polls on all occasions and make his bal
lot the expression of an honest conviction, both' in the
choice of candidates and upon those questions submitted
to the electors for their verdict of approval or rejection.
.When citizens fail to do their duty what right have they
to compain of unnecessary burdens resulting from inef
ficient or corrupt government?
Old man Rockefeller is thrifty to the point of being
what a Scotchman would call "near." His little poverty
stricken company gets out a magazine in California de
voted entirely to boosting its products. The magazine is
well gotten up and beautifully illustrated, as it can well
afford to be, since old John can make the public come
through for any extra cost by raising the price of gaso
line, which is a necessity to some folks. The manage
ment at the head of its columns runs the statement that
its articles are not copyrighted, and that the papers of
the. whole country have the company's permission to re
print the articles free of charge. Whatever disease ever
carries the head of the Rockefeller family to that bourne
whence, not even a standard cil magnate can return it is a
safe bet that it will not be '"enlargment of the heart."
permitted to jump the job in the middle of the afternoon.
Outside of the interest such moves create in good roads
the work accomplished amounts to but little. The men
are not accustomed to work and so far as results are con
cerned would accomplish ten times as much if they stayed
at home and gave each his day's earnings or income to
the fund, and let men who knew how to work and wanted
to do get at it.
Wonder how Teddy feels to see so many soldiers' pic
tures in the big newspapers and his not among them. It
must be galling to his egotism, too, to see that the Ameri
can people really had the temerity to think about going
to war with Mexico. Strange as it may seem to some folks
the world will continue to wag along just the same with
out them or us, just as it did when those who preceded us
thought they were necessary to the ultimate and parma
nent salvation of things. They have passed on as we shall
pass, and after us will not come the deluge but perhaps a
bettering of conditions.
While Americans in the east are tremblingly assert
ing that California's attempt to keep Japanse out of that
state is certain to cause Japan to come over and capture

Hindus, who are British subjects.
The members of the school board have unanimously
elected a new superintendent of the Salem schools, who
comes well recommended aqd with a good record for
achievement in educational work up to the present time,
lie is a stranger to our people and has no good reason
to ally himself with any particular faction or element,
and his own good judgment will warn him against any
such a course. He should also be accepted by all the
patrons of the school in good faith and given every op
portunity to make good. We want good, efficient schools
nothing will do more toward making the city attractive
to homeseekera and home builders and we can only have
these by forgetting the quarrels of the past, whatever
they may be, and giying the new administration our
hearty and loyal support.
It would make interesting reading could an exact state

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys If Bladder Bothers You
Drink Lots of Water.
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog tp and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu
matic twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness,, bladdei and urinary ir
ritation. The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Halts from an good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast' for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combin
ed with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulnto them to normal activity;
also to neutralize the acids in the ur
ine so it no longer irritates, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinsry organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

NEW CONSTITUTION GIVES PRES
IDENT OF CHINA ABSOLUTE
POWER.
Shanghai, May 1. The new constitu
tion, published today, promises to give
added impetus to the revolutionary
movement throughout southern and
central China.
Muny of the compartively quiet re
publicans, who have hitherto been hold
ing buck on theory that the funda
mental code President Yuan Shi Kni
was having compiled would limit his
powers, will now certainly join the rad
icals, good judges predicted.
Except that tho president is not au
thorized to initiate laws he is made
virtually absolute, and even in cases
where he might be unable to secure en
actment of statutes he desires, he is
empowered to issue decrees which have
the full effect of laws.
Provision is mado for a national leg
islature, but its authority is so cir
cumscribed that it can do little more
than carry out the president's wishes.
It was the general view that new
China will not submit to a regimo of
this kind without a struggle.
