RAILROADS KILL OUR INDUSTRIES CIVIL SERVICE TYRANNY Transcontinental railroads are seeking to raise the rate on bottles shipped into Salem. This might look like a Email matter to some communities but locally it is one the people because they are so strongly intrenched in their of the bieszest questions confronting us. It strikes at the j positions, Federal employes at Washington are opposed to the eight-hour day. They are fighting the Borland bill very vindictively and abusing the author of the measure as well as everybody favoring it. .They only work seven hours a day now and get thirty days vacation every summer on full pay; naturally they dislike to see any law enacted that will compel them to earn the pay they draw from the government. . " The opposition to the Barland bill is one of the fruits of the civil service system which in time will give the people of this country a great deal of trouble. Civil service tenure of office is tending to build up a strong and insolent cflass of lifej-itime office-holders, who fre quently neglect to treat the public courteously and make little 'effort to earn their salaries because they have life jobs, no matter which political party is in power. There is in the country now a vast and growing army of civil service employes who all but defy the government and big fruit juice industries which have been established here and buy in the East many carloads of bottles, so many carloads that the figures would look unreasonably large if compiled and given out. Raising the freight rate means an added hardship for industries struggling to gain a profitable foothold in the commercial world. It is a serious ouestion. indeed. Why the railroads should invarably seek to throttle all enterprise and industry throughout trie fsonnwesiii seems strange to the average man, but it is most assured-1 ly the case. The lumber industry has sultered repeatedly from the deadly thrusts of the ralroad rate men who al ways seem to want all the traffic will bear and press the limit a little in order that nothing may escape them that might be extorted from the millman and manufacturer. Instead of encouradne industries that in due time would bring them additional business if successful they take all the profits and more, too, for carrying goods to market, or the raw material to the factory, and the result is inevitable failure. Why this short sighted policy is adhered to is not easily explained but it is religiously pursued and the , Salem bottle case is an example of it. Some day the people of the United States the plain people are going to revolt against this civil servn tyranny and wipe it out of existence. They are going to demand that the office holder serve the public and make an honest effort to earn his salary or get down and out and give place to some one who will do it. i: Rippling Rhy mes i by 'Walt Mason If the kaiser wins the war there will be no republican party in this country, as Chas. E. Hughes has pertinently remarked. That view of the situation ought to induce more republican leaders and newspaper editors to get into line with Former President Taft and Elihu Root, quit lying about the administration and kicking about every thing and boost for the United States of America. That will help a whole lot to save the nation and go a long way toward preserving the republican party. If the move ment to place party above country is persisted in there will be only a few sad remnants of the g. o. p. left when the war is over for the great mass of the voters of all parties are loyal and will stand for no copperheads in times like the present. FEBRUARY The second month of this year is with us, gentle reader, reminding us that winter drear will soon be a seceder. The month itself is rather punk, with misfit brands of weather, with snow and sleet and kindred junk, and winds that shriek together. But let it whoop and yawp and bawl, we won't be greatly worried, for it's the briefest month of all--short horses are soon cur ried. And when it goes to hit the straw, comes spring, with buds and roses, when we'll no longer heed to thaw our .frozen knees and noses ! So when the rude and raucous blast in mauldin furv chills vmi. and when the sleet storm, driving past, dismays and al most kills you, remember winter's on the wane, it is his parting flurry; spring's coming, mild and safe and sane, and you should cut out worry. Spring's coming with its birds and bees, and babbling brooks and chiggers, and how we'll welcome things like these, worn out by winter's! rigors ! bprmg's coming with the sounds and scents that soothe the jaded spirit, and I much doubt if there are gents who won't applaud and cheer it. Proof that Some Women do Avoid Operations iwsr Mrs. Etta Dorion, of Ogdensburg, Wis., says: " I suffered from female troubles which caused piercing rains like a knife through my back and side. I finally lost all my strength so I had to go to bed. '1'he doctor advised an operation but I would not listen to it. I thought of what I had read about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and tried it. The first bottle brought great relief and six bottles have entirely cured me. All women who have female trouble of any kind shoul try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." How Mrs. Boyd Avoided an Operation. Canton, Ohio.

Simpson, the leading businessman and booster of Coos Bay, has thrown his hat into the ring and is now a sure-enough candidate for the republican nomin ation for governor. He is an active, energetic and suc cessful businessman and has one splendid recommenda tion to public consideration his home people are almost unanimously for him and think he would make the best governor the state ever had. A man who has the fullest confidence of those who know him best is usually a good man to trust in any position. General Bonchbrunyevitch is commanding the Russian army according to the dispatches today. That name re inforced with some barbed wire entanglements ought to stop even Hindenburg's legions. ' The spectacle of Germany forcing peace upon the Russians with fire and sVord only shows, we presume, that the Prussian militayists love peace so dearly that thoy are willing to fight for it.

As we turned toward home I forgot the man who had reminded me of Goorge. It was silly. Ho never would be up-town to a fashionablo restaurant in tho middle of the day. But I did not forget Merton Gray, nor the look of ad miration I had seen in his eyes. He was youug too. Perhaps he would be more tolerant of mistakes, my mis takes, than George's older friends. He was nice-looking,- too. He was tall and dark and slender. There was none of the affections of dress of the usual ar tist. He looked well, like my brothers, and the boys at home would look if they were dressed in the fashionable garments he wore. I was sure I should like him. X liked his name, too. "Mer ton."

English translations of German, articles in ad joining columns will not be published by "Germania," local German daily, according to Max E. Socha, its editor. Tiiis will not be done unless a law is passed by congress compelling such action, the editors say. "The city council has no power to cntorco its demands that we publish came in, and let him find it out that way, or tell him now!

I had not decided what to do about telling George; and he wouldn't see them in there. All the afternoon I pored over their contents. I read so many rules tor be havior, so many silly so it seemed to me directions how one should act, that by the time I dressed for dinner my mind was in a whirl. On the morrow I would take only one subject, and try and find out all there was to learn of it before I proceeded to another. In that wav I could remember what I read. I wanted to be "good form" as George called it. Wanted to for his sake, more than for my own. Dinner was ready when ne came in. ! So we had no time to talk until we met at the table.
