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 us, Canada, with less than a tenth of our population, has forbidden all Asiatics to enter her borders. This includes 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 ment be made as to the real value of the work done by Portland's turnout on the Columbia highway on Good Roads day.

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. 9 to 16 inch Embroideries at 15c a yd. 19-inch Embroideries at 25c a yd.

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.
