SALEM POLITICS.
The Two Elements Struggling
For Control in This
County.

Salem politicians are getting on
their war psInt for a political battle
involving the interests and future of
this city.
There are the conservatives aud
progressionists. The conservatives
oppose liberal charters for street
railways, enlarglng the city bound
aries, creating a bonded debt for
permanent improvements, building
any more school houses or pursuing
any of the numerous modern
methods of building a city. They
are opposed to booming as they
call it.
The progressive element are in
favor of all possible means of rapidly
upbuilding the city. They will de-
mand new charter of the legisla-
ture, taking in all the suburbs for at
least two miles square, and the right
to issue bonds for erection of
bridges, building streets and sewers
for city on scale of at least fifty
thousand people.
This makes a square issue between
the two elements struggling for con-
troll in this city, The delegation to
the legislature will be made up of
one element or the other. The issue
might as well be squarely met.
SO far the work done has all been
secret and no one knows what the
bosses intend, or what the conserva-
tive schemers are intending. Some
one is liable to be cheated and there
is good layout for some ones de-
feat, if more open and honorable
methods are not pursued. AS there
is little or no politics in the next
legislature people are going to vote
for what they consider the best
results for this city. There should
be an open public movement to pro-
tect the true interests of this city at
the coming election of members of
the legislature. The true interests
of Salem should not be imperilled
by this very important matter being
left to the secret plotters and schem-
ers on both sides. IF the people are
not consulted in this matter, they
are liable to smash the whole slate
if fixed on either side.

MAYOR D'ARCY's VETo.-The
mayors veto of the Parkhurst street
railway franchise is meeting with
very little favorable comment.
Most of the ideas advanced are not
new and the mayors remarks about
the impossible condition of the
streets condemns himself. in the
eyes of many, as the executive official
of our city is TO blame if the city
laws are not enforced as much as
any one else. The ordinance should
be amended on some points as sug-
gested by the mayor and the present
owners of the street car line be
given a chance to convert 1t into a
motor line at the earliest day possi-
bic. Interviews show that Salem
people generally favor the develop
meut Of the motor system. Street
railway lines have done more to
help improve Salem streets than
any one other factor of improve
ment, as any one can judge by com
pairing Liberty street before and
after the electric line was put down.

as the Lutheran people held their

that many will be turned away from

Nor PoIITICAL.-The people of
this city, who love their schools
above all else are opposed to making
the election of school clerk hinge on
party lines. If this is done this year,
next year there will be the same de-
mand to elect party clerk and
director. To make the Office of
school clerk part of the city ma
chine, will be great mistake, and
the true friends Of our public schools
will resent the scheme. Politics in
city affairs is an unavoidable evil,
but it is absolutely unnecessary in
school affairs. So say the best men
of all parties.

rAvoRs FREE TRADE.
The "Voice" Prohibition Apostles
Against Anything That is
Republican.

The opera house last night was
filled to hear WolfeDbarger and
Huckins, the Prohibition speak
ers and singers. During the two
evenings Mr.. Wolfenbarger showed
how high protection and the liquor
traffic had created over 5000 million
aires in the United States and
1900, 900 people without food enough
ahead to last them twenty-four
hours. He characterized the McKin-
ley bill as an Infamous measure,
ard showed how, instead of increas-
lug the wages of men it has low
cred them Is to 20 per cent. While
the hardware business pays
labor about "a per cent. and so
down to about II per cent. for cotton
goods, the liquor business only
pays labor l 23-1O0 per cent. accord
ing to Mr.. Wolfenbarger's figures.
While he claimed there was no diff
terence III the old parties all MS
tariff and many of his industrial
statements were directly in the line
of Democratic argument and decid-
edly against the Republican party,
and could not we'll be otherwise
after investigation. Mr.. Wolfen-
barger's business, though, is to
make Prohibitionists, and this he is
doing slowly.-Albany Democrat,
March 9th.
If in order to build up Prohibi-
bition sentiment it is necessary to
destroy protection and convert men
to free trade, the gentlemen will
make Prohlbitionlsts very slowly.

The riot in Rutland, followed by the
brutal assault on Mr. Merriam, is the
natural consequence of the contempt in
which the prohibitory law has long been
held in that town. The law has been
openly and presistently violated. Every
attempt to enforce it has met with bitter
opposition. Often the officers elected to
enforce the law haye been in league with
the law breakers. When one is thus
despised, contempt for all law is the
natural result. This contempt will
show itself in riots. Rutland has been
sowing to the wind, and now she is reap
ing the whirlwind.-[L Ludlow Tribune.
