THE DAILY CATITAL JOURNAL la the only newspaper la Salem whoee eirculHti.m U guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulation! YVYVtVtVYVTtCT5 THE ZONE NEWSPAPER POSTAGE LAW. The Corvallis Gazette-Times expresses our sentiments in replying to the Oregonian's attack upon Postmaster Burleson's zone postage rate law. This saves us the work of writing an editorial on the subject in these swel tering July days, hence we reprint the Gazette-Times editorial in full: , . ' , " 'It would tie interesting to have from the Capital Journal or any ether paper a reason why postal charges should begin at the county line and not at the office of publication,' says the Oregonian in defense of the maga. rines which are kicking about the system of paying post age under the zone law. , "This seems to be an invitation by the Oregonian that it is ready to take on all comers and that ringside weight is not a handicap. The Journal is absolutely able to take care of itself, but as one of the country papers supposed to lie benefitted by the zone law we hasten to butt in and say that there is no reason whatever why the place of publica tion should not be designated as the spot from which port al charges should be made. Such a charge would make very little difference to the Salem Daily Journal or the Daily Gazette-Times over DO per cent of whose papers are delivered by carrier. The postage on the weeklies would lie insignificant.1 t ' A "It would also be interesting to know if the Oregon ion approves the old system whereby the government practically subsidized the magazines of the country to the extent of many millions of dollars annually. Careful es timates by the postal authorities and congressional com mittees, for instance, show that the Curtis Publishing Co' has been receiving a gratuity from the government amounting to $5,000,000 a year. Hundreds of other mnga-r-inw and iarge daily newspapers benefit accordingly. Does the Oreronian believe this is either fair or good business Docs tho Orojrw.un believe the New York Times can be mailed from New York City to Corvallis for the same cost Dr. Von Jagow, former German foreign minister, in serts a liner ad in the Berlin Kreuz-Zeitung, saying, "I seek employment." - "How the mighty have fallen!" comments the Vor wacrts, the Socialist organ. Yea, verily. There are hordes of Prussian militar ists and junkers hunting for new jobs now, thank heaven! IVneer O L Pem-er, y.l ; Ha.T. Aug.

For a bankrupt, broken-down transportation system, the American railroads certainly do manage to carry quite a lot of freight and passengers with a fair degree of satisfaction to the public.

RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason OUTDOORS. I have a home that's pretty slick, a mansion made of wood and brick; the window panes are mostly glass, the doorknob is of costly brass. And there are screens to keen out flies, and in the pantry there are pies; electric laps kick up a breeze wnen lorriu sunmu-r u.;, ui.i'u-. Oh, there a man in pence might rest, and feel that he was tloulilv blest, if he had sense enough to stay in th.it large dwelling reshershav. But summer makes a man insane; Mne double-bug infers his brain; he loaves his mansion for a shack in sylvan ghde or mountain track; ho scraps villi 1"fs through weary nights, and ruffers from mos quito bites; he packs hi? wood from distant piles, and carries water nineteen miles, and lives on beans Mid has in) pies and spoils the larynx cussing flies. I have a home that's slick as grease, and there, if sane, I'd live in ieace, all modern comforts at command, and Ih1s of ice cold fizz at hand. But here I sit in a cheap coop, where mountain lions round me whoop, and drink warm water when I'm dry, and never see a white man's pie; I'm burn ed and blistered by the sun, and try to think I'm having fun. Italy wouldn't be so near starvation if the Italians hadn't done so much shouting and parading about foreign conquests. SCOnS MILS VOTERS DECIDE NOT TO GIVE UP PRESENT CITY CHARTER At an election held yesterday in Scotts Mills, the voters were naked to expresa their opinion on the question, ".shall the city of Scotts Milia Mincnd er its charter and be dis-incorpornted! " When the votes were counted tins morn ing it was found that 10 were in favor of giving up the charter, 55 were op posed and 2 voted in such a way tnnt the votes were thrown out, making & totnl of H7 votes cast. Two or three years ago SeotU Mills decided to do some cxpnnding and a lot of the surrounding eountiy was taken with! 1 the city limits, it seems thnt while the taking was good, there was in corporated several tracts of from ten to 2;i acres until the city hul enough ter ritory within its limits to almost rival Seattle. Hut a few weeks ago some of the far mers who were incorporated thought it wasn't right they should be taken in to keep up a real citv and secured et.ough votes to enll the election. Accoiding to the vote, they are still funning nnd at tending to their prune trncts within the city limits of Scotts Mills with very little prospects of getting out.

German exchange of notes with the United btates before we entered the war is sufficient guarantee that he will never get another job as a diplomat, even in Germany; but maybe he can find work as a head-waiter in a restaur ant, or a floor-walker in a dry goods store, or even as somebody's private secretary, when German business picks up. Every man finds his proper place if he looks for it long enough. There may.be an awful mortality from snake-bites in some of the newly dry states, now that the approved treat ment is rendered impractical. On the other-hand, it will be easier to deal with the snakes. They will be visible and tangible.
