MERITS OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE Goodwin's Weekly administers a stinging rebuke to a self appointed critic of equal suffrage in the New York Times who says: "Senator Hughes of New Jersey has rejoiced the heart of the suffragists of that state by "coming out strongly for votes for women." The strength of his rea soning is scarcely equal to that of his coming out: " 'I voted for the equal suffrage constitutional amend ment, to be submitted to the people of the state of New Jersey at the coming election. I voted to levy an income tax upon the incomes and earnings of men and women alike, and I can see no reason why, if a woman is to be taxed on the basis of equality with a man, she should not be given an equal vote with him as to how her money is to be expended by public servants.' "Some women are taxed. Therefore all women should vote. What has taxation got to do with the matter? The estate of minors, the property of aliens, are taxed. There fore children and foreigners should have the ballot." Children are not permitted to vote because they can not comprehend any of the significance of the act; newly arrived foreigners are not permitted to vote because their natural allegiance is to the land of their birth, explains Judge Goodwin, liy what authority does the Times, by indirection at least, charee that women are either aliens in thought or incompetent to form sensible opinions? And by what authority does the writer in the Times assume to say to free American women: "Of course, you are free to do any legitimate thing, but in my opinion for you to vote is not legitimate." Who is this Times writer that in his wisdom judges the limitation of the brains and hearts of women; their capacity to use a privilege wisely without debasing her self? Savages heap brutalities upon their women simply be cause they are strong enough to do it, and their unspoken reason is that when assailed by other tribes the men have to do the fighting. That idea has been transmitted in some souls down to the present. The Times writer should go into confessional with his own soul and question himself as to whether his prejudices are not stronger than his sense of justice, and whether he, by his natural abilities and cultivated acquirements, lias really any right to assume to be a censor to decide at what point the liberties of the mothers of the race should bo estopped. CONTRAST IN WARS It has been a trifle over one hundred and three years since Napoleon entered Moscow in his campaign of con quest against the Russians. To prosecute this warfare he had mobilized an army of six hundred thousand against which was pitted an army of three hundred thousand Russians. From the time he entered Russian territory until he drove the Russians back to Moscow and attempt ed to install himself in that city three months had lapsed, says the Boise, Idaho, Statesman. Moscow proved a bar rier to the execution ot nis plan, however. With the destruction of Moscow by fire, and with other obstacles to his progress, Napoleon began his famous retreat with only one hundred and twenty thousand of his army left a retreat through a district laid waste by his own advance. A few years more than a century afterwards Russia is again invaded, this time by a German host immensely better equipped than the Napoleon army and so much larger as to give the other the comparative aspect of an advance guard. The attempt to humiliate Russia by the Germans has progressed for thirteen months, and still the German army is a long way from Moscow, which Napoleon reached in three months. As the conditions surrounding this advance, as well as those affecting the Russians, are different, so the aims of the Germans may be entirely dissimilar from those of the "sun of Austerlitz" in 1822. The German invasion of Russia is only a part of a great war program. The Ger man strategists may not contemplate an absolute conquest. Theirs may be merely a checking movement, a mere in cident in a general campaign, and there may be no pur pose to proceed much farther into the czar's domain; but when we view the picture of the century ago and contrast it with that of today, the mind is appalled by the tremend ous sacrifices involved in what is a mere detail of a war in the same territory over which Napoleon advanced with his entire army. The bigness, the frightfulness of modern warfare is vividly impressed by the two views; and its horrifying features would be intensified if history' should repeat itself in a repulse of the present invaders of Russia, in volving as it would enormous slaughter. ' It is'strange how each belligerent nation knows so well the enemy's losses after an engagement but lacks the complete data to report upon its own casualties. The spy system must be the completest part of their war organization. France is about to increase the pay of. her soldiers from one cent to five cents a day. No doubt that over time work in the latest drive deserves some substantial recognition of this kind. .

After an actual house to house ennvus in Salem the Capital Journal is pr pared to show to the satisfaction of any advertise'.' Hint its circulation within the city and suburbs s double that of its nearest competitor, whether publish ed in Salem or Portland. We are furthermore prepared to show that the same ratio of circulation ob tains oa all the nine rural delivery routes out of Salem. The Capital Journul's circulation is far in excess of that of any other daily newspaper circulating In Marion and Polk counties, and, more thnn this, 97 per cent of its circulation is in this im mediate territory.

Farm ers are doing their utmost to destroy them by using traps and guns. Many men are making a business of trapping them for the rewurd of 25 cents a head. -Millard MeCubb, a retired photographer of Independence, went into the trap ping of gophers a few years ago and during the Inst year caught nearly 4,000 gophers. His principal operations were confined to the farms of Kiddell Brothers and J. B. Stucip, both west of Monmouth. . The Michigan town of Kalamazoo is having an evan gelistic campaign conducted by an evangelist named John son, Hob Johnson, who told the folks the other night that he was going to quit talking to church members pretty soon and would go out a fter another class. "If the church members want to continue on the road to hell," said Bob, "they'll have to do it." That's like much of the modern evangelistic talk, said not from knowledge but simply for sensation. Kalamazoo may be bad, but the chances are there are more siheere people in church and out than people deliberately treading the road the evangelists puts them on and threatens to leave them. Captain Von Papen will go to Mexico in preference to remaining in the United States. He must have had a poorer opinion of this country than even his letters ex pressed. In the Federal league Chicago beat St. Louis out by .0008 of a point. That is probably the nearest St. Louis ever got Chicago in anything. Seattle manages to get some kind of advertising out of every thing. Her slogan now is "the largest dry city in the world." Pr. RippHngRhqm The Daily Capital Journal's circulation statement for the post office department, printed today, shows the splendid subscription growth of this paper since it came under the present management on February 1, 15)14. In that time its actual circulation has doubled and is still growing at n very satisfactory rate. The average circula tion, as shown by the post office statement, for the past six months was ;:S00, and for the month of Septem ber 10: 10. Nineteen Japanese statesmen have been convicted of accepting bribes. The Japanese seem to understand that! justice administered quickly without fear or favor is the; effective thing to hand those who have a hand in the! making of laws for other people to live by and don't keep their records clean while they are on the job of lawmaking. GOOD CREDIT The finest thing a man can have is credit at the store; it is a balsam and a salve for every mortal sore. The customer who pays his debts when due, has shining fame; "he is the best of all good bets." the mer chants all exclaim. And when misfortune dogs his heels, as it will visit men, and he is shy of plunks and wheels, of kopecks, dough and yen, the merchants say, "Buy what you will, and we will gladly wait, till you are fixed to nav the bill wp know that ipT 'l1 you are straight." The man who doesn't : yl nromutlv nav the lilt1 roll unta wVinf Vio nwoo on the appointed settling day, all kinds of trouble knows. And when misfortune takes his trail, and h.mrls h he is shy of dust and kale, of rhino, scads and rocks, the merchants say, "We cannot sell to gents like you on time, for when you're prospering quite well, you won't cough up a dime," Poor credit all your virtues queers, ami gives a punk renown, and, though you live a hundred years, you'll never live it down. 1 A j LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 1868 Capital $300,000.00 Transact a general banking business Safety IVpoait Boxes SAVINGS DEPARTMENT ADVISING BOARD MEETS Washington, Oct. 5.

Yet this is the way Danial J. Fry, the popular druggist, is Belling Mi-o-na, the stundard dyspepsia remedy. Never before has ho had so large a number of customers tell him that a medicine has been successful as with Mi-o-na. People who a few months ago looked like walking skeletons have put on flesh and today aro ruddy and vig orous with perfect digestion and good health. There is no longer any need for any one suffering or making their friends suffer on account of dyspepsia. Mi-o-ua can always bo relied upon, Tho per centage of cures is so great that there is little risk to Daniel J. Fry in guar anteeing to retnru the money if, the medicine dues not relieve. And he stands ready to do so without any ques tions. Headaches, all forms of indigestion. specks before the eyes, dizzy feeling.l poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all; forms of liver trouble are helped by; Mi-n-na. A few days' treatment should show considerable gain in health while a eompleto cure often follows rapidly.

Mine Strikers Settle Down to Regular Siege t'lifton, Ariz., Oct. 3 Mine strikers in the MoreneK'lifton district are set tling down today to a siege for which they expect the western federation of miners to contribute funds. It mav continue a year. K. S. Trice, financial secretary of the local union claims to be assured that the strike fund is a approximating l.OOO.OOO. The strike leaders are evi dently sincere in their desire to pre vent violence. The arrival of fortv picked men from tlie state natiomil guard this morning created scant in terest. It was known the fnree could not possibly control the district increase of trouble. Strikers have been told bv their lenders tlmt the presence of the state troops is 1111 advantage as it will pre vent federal soldiers, who might protect strike breakers from being sent. The miners feel sure the operators will not attempt to use strike breakers with only a handful of national guardsmen to protect them. CELEBRATION AT KALAMAZOO Kalamnoo, Mich., Oct. 3.

Eugene Guard: Dollar day is to be an annual event in Eugene, according to the announcement of the Dollar day committee. Business transacted totaled $50,000, according to an estimate made by the secretary. The merchants state that the day was a sueccss more as an advertising event tnat of bringing new faces and new customers into the store rather than a profit making sale, inasmuch as the bargains offered on this day were real bargains. Continuing its boost for an enlarged exhibit scheme for eastern Oregon, the Baker Herald says: "Baker and Grant counties broke attendance and exhibit records at their fairs, which shows that hustle will bring fairs back to their booming days. What is now needed is an eastern Oregon fair where nil these counties will have their exhibits viewed by tens of thousands. The Keno correspondent of the Kla math Falls Herald writes: "Keno has one of the finest school houses in tho county just completed. The material and workmanship is first class in every respect. The house will be heated and lighted with electricity from the Kerns power plant."

Portland Ad Club Is Live Organization The Ad club of Portland, the club which is offering prizes for the words best ndapted for a loganberry-song, is one of the livest organizations in Tort land, and when they agree to get un der and push a certain line, somethinir is sure to happen. For this reason F. G. Deckabach and H. S (iile, who attended the special loganberry day of the club Inst week tee confident tlmt the world in generul wil know a lot more about loganberries within n short time. The first thing the Ad club resolved to do, was not to tnlk pk ih. tnes of the berry, but to appoint a committee of advertising men, who will' at once begin a study of the loganberry.' its interests and to later suggest the' lest methods of advertising.
