Acting squarely, they have nothing to conceal, and as the people can see for themselves they are attending strictly to their business of giving the public good service, the bitter feeling is vanishing, has indeed about disappeared, and both the railroads and the country are the better for it. VANDERBILT'S THEORY, SrROULE'S PRACTICE The University is asking girls how much they think a young man should earn before asking a college girl to wed. Just why the University desires this information is not known, but the consensus of opinion among the girls that have answered is that it should not be less than $1200 a year. Now the University will have to discover in the interests of the boys whether this includes the small change the young fellow would have to put up for household and other expenses, or just the amount the col lege girl would need for her own little self. The Vanderbilt idea of the dealings of a great trans portation company with the public, and duty of such a corporation toward the masses was expressed in his1 r i. a . i ' : l . ...i l. u ut: I lamous repiy 10 a cerium question us iu wnui me puuuu would think, with a curt, "The Public be Damned!" This is no longer considered the correct answer. For years the great corporations of the United States were conducted on this principle. It worked all right for a while and then suddenly it ceased to operate. The peo ple awoke to the fact that they were bigger than any company or any combination of companies. They refused to "be damned" as a steady thing. They somehow did not like it, and they said so. They said so so emphatically that their congressmen had to suddenly sit up and take notice that they were not employed by the corporations, although many of them were paid by them, but were public servants, and had to obey orders. The result was some drastic legislation that made the corporations tired,-very tired. They kicked with the re sult that still more drastic legislation was enacted and corporate life instead of being one glad, sweet song, be- J came a struggle tor existence. Iney found that tne tables were turned and the people were trying their hand at putting into effect some catch phrases of their own; one of which was "The Railroads be damned!" The rail roads like the public did not like being damned as a steady diet; but they had had their innings and could not get to bat again. The big. bosses like Vanderbilt had wrecked roads, watered stock until the owners had to carry it in a bucket, fixed rates to suit themselves, gave rebates, did as they pleased and knew no law but their own will. The Sherman law gave them a hard jolt and the creat ing of the interstate commerce commission with super vision over them and the power to fix rates and compel their observance, was a death blow to the old order of things. The next jolt came with the creating of state railroad commissions' with power over railroads within their states. The railroads were to blame at first, for they puHed the pendulum of justice so far out of plumb that when it swung back it went to the other extreme and was unjust to the roads, just as they had been unjust to the peo;,le whom they were supposed to serve, but of whom they attempted' to make servants. The result was disastrous to the railroads, and necessarily also disastrous to tho public, for injustice cannot be done without it.? reacting on those who do it. This happened to the railroads in their first injustice, and it also happened to the people whim thin- in turn became Ulliust. The pendulum has ceased now to swing beyond its; proper arc and business feels the good ell'ects of this, normal condition. The people have rights the railroads; cannot infringe on without injury to themselves and thej roads have rights the people must respect. j It is well that we have arrived at this sensible stage m. our mutual dealings. The prosperity of the country dc-j ponds largely on the railroads and they must be treated, fairly and justly else the people will in turn sutler fronv their own misuse of them. I Only yesterday Mr. William Sproule, president of the Southern" Pacific railroad was in Salem, and before the .,;iw.r inmmiiicwm TT.i p-niio ml 1 1 ti t M ril v because J-.UUU UUIUV unimuimn'ii. a'v v.m..v ......, . . 1 1 1 . 1 1. .. i. .... ..... ...... .-i H.f hdllHTl there was compianu inane inai vueun wt; mi wwiif, treated fairlv by his company in the matter of getting cars for handling its products, lie promised to correct this as far as possible at once, and give Oregon's products 5i fhnncn to rot to the markets. A few years ago Mr. Vjinderhilt or other railroad managers would have appliei the "public be damned" remedy and that would have been the end of it. It is different now. President Sproule came, examined into the complaints, saw they were justi fied and then he so far as he could, corrected them. This so different action is the result of the dispute now fortu nately settled between the people and the companies. A new era of mutual understanding and respect for each others' rights has dawned, and it bodes well for the whole This is Burbank day. Just what we are going to do about it here in Salem is an unknown thing. However, every citizen of the state will unite in wishing the plant wizard almost anything he could desire and among these a long term of years yet in which to continue his work so beneficial to humanity. He is the Edison of the vegetable world, making lots of things grow where none grew be fore, and is at least a step father to our famous logan berry. More power to your elbow Luther, may your meals agree with you and your sleep be like an infants. Those members of the First Christian Church who had a chance to express their ideas as to what constituted an ideal wife, missed the opportunity of their lives to make themselves solid at home for life, with a welcoming smile like the dawning of a perfect day awaiting them at any old time they showed up. There is only one answer to that question, and it is "My idea of a perfect wife is one exactly like the one I have." That "familiarity breeds contempt," applies to death as well as other things. Yesterday a report of the sink ing of a ship off the coast of Brazil and the drowning of 415 passengers failed to get more than a small display head in any of the newspapers. Under any other condi tions than those caused by the war, every paper in the land would have had a banner head, a line across the Page. The jitney has caused trouble for the street car sys tems and city dads in nearly every city on the coast and now it is the cause of the attempt to recall the mayor of Oakland, California, and all because the city fathers tried to regulate the irrepressible and unregulatable jits. The modern conception of a politician, and a tolerably correct one, too. is "a man who rides his friends in the race for office and rewards their political enemies for; whipping up the saddle horse." Married Men Tell Their Ideas of a Perfect Wife Closing a series of "ideal" sermons in which members of the congregation were asked to express their opinions as to ideal folks, the Kev. F. T. Porter, of the First Christian church preached on "The Ideal Wife" list evening and re ceived suggestions and opinions from his congregation. Several of the opinions as to what an ideal wife should and should not be are as follow., the opinions being read and commented on from the pulpit: 1. An ideal wife is one that is good looking, good n.iturcd, good housekeeper and a good cook. She should be willing to make biscuits and pancakes at least three times a week. ' 2. The ideal wife must be a church member and attend church and prayer meeting jnd insist on the Bible being read in the home. i. My ideal of a wife is one that is kind and considerate of others and de voted to her home and church. Sue should ever be ready to lend a helping hand to those thnt are not as well situ ated as she is. She should believe in helping her husbnd in every way. i. My ideal of a wife is one that has been born and reared on a farm and is a judge and .ulmiror of all kinds of stock and not ashamed to milk a cow. She should be au expert about the house and not he otten.lod it a five ( clock breakfast is ordered, ami should prefer to wear a hit that is paid for rather' than one worth Wil to bo paid for on the installment plan.

Silverton Appeal. $19,945.37 PAID OUT FOR HOGS President Wilson's selecting an "almost" peace at any price man for secretary of war, shows he is God-like in one respect: "He moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform." r A dispatch yesterday stated Mrs. Mary B. Dameron, of San Bernardino, California, has three living husbands. She should apply for a job lot of divorces, and another of alimony.

SILVERTON 'S NEW MILL ' Onlv about three weeks until the trout season opens Silverton is indulging in a little "watchful waiting'' for the building of the new Silver Pulls Timber com pany saw mill, which from all indica tions is to be built near this city. A spirit of 'preparedness"' has, however, taken hold of the people and if sleeping with one eye open will bring the mill to this point, we are reasonably sure of getting it. W. C. Woodward, general manager of the company, was in this city the first of the week, but was not ready to make a definite statement relative to the lo cation of the mill, but slid that after their engineers and surveyors had turn ed in their figures and the same had been gone carefully over he would be in a position to give out definite facts.
