He Wants a Wooden Mill in Salem.

ED. JOURNAL There is room for
good woolen mill in this valley.
viii we encourage some enterpris-
ing company to build one, or will
we sit on the fence, and see the pro
cession go by?
Should a reasonable measure be
proposed and submitted to the peo-
pie, they would endorse it. The
bridge did not possess the merit of
a factory, yet the people endorsed
the building of it. The taxes we
pay are not so much to the people as
getting the ready means to pay
them, Twenty-Five thousand dol
lars paid out, per month to the ope-
ratives, would give business new
life. Why not make an effort in
that direction, call meeting and
get an expression from the people?
With great enterprises growing up
all around us, we can't afford to stand
still until the wants of this COM
monwealth are all supplied. We
must act, or get left.

Opera House, st. Louis, on Wednes-
day October 10th, afternoon and even
ing, on the great movement of reform,
which is now asitating the minds OF
our people all over the United
States. The question of the tariff is a
fraudulent issue raised by the polite
ions as an eXpediency for conducting
this present campaign and diverting the
Temperance voters from the true issue
-aised by the people, the protection OF
the American home against the evil in

will be absent from this important
gathering, 10 matter what his party

the manufacturers of this country be

they prepare themselys for the struggle?
Simply by cutting down the wages of

Five Notes About Spectacles.


The honor and credit OF pointing ou,
tho benefits of glasses in aid of defective
vision belong to Roger Bacon, who
lived from 12l4 TO 1892.
In the earl progress Of The ars the
spectacles male were rude and crude.
and the glasses were rough. though
they rendered great aid to the afflicted.
There Is no exact ago at which either
men or women may need the use OF
spectaclcs. but man usually will need
some aid to his natural VISION after the
age OF forty-five. and woman after
the age Of forty.
Spectaclos were actually invented
about the year 1880 A. d.. and certain
~ they were made previous to the year
1911. The man who conferred thi.
great benefit on suffering humanity was
Alexander Bpins, monk Of Pisa, who
died in 1913.
A mistake commonly made by near
sighted people is in wearing the same
glasses for all purposes. This can
seldom he done without straining the
eye Two sets of glasses are absolute
" needed. each differing widely from
the other in focus.
