Thomas Jefferson founded a party

He dealt with the same band of sharp,
keen, hungry political parasites in
1900. Just as the law deals with
them now, that the States man calls a
fraud, Jefferson made removals for
misconduct only. When he had ap-
pointments to make he appointed men
who were competent, who were hon
est, and who had proper respect for
the constitution. He considered six

to remain abroad in the foreign SER

INDEPENDENCE.
Interested in Motor Railway.
Salem Labor Exchange Proposes to
Construct Same.

Interest in the early and immediate
construction of motor railway, that
will bring the thriving towns of the
Willamette valley into closer busines:
communication has been received
among enterprising business men, who
see in the construction of such road
that it could but benefit the entire
valley, the consumer as we'll as the
producer.
The Salem Labor Exchange has
again taken charge of the matter,
and by faithful and accurate presen-
tation of what the construction OF
such a road means, to the Willamette
valley farmers, have caused the busi-
ness men to become interested in the
project.
Last week a meeting was held at
Inpendence, where considerable inter
est was manifest. Providing Polk
county will furnish the rails
or the necessary capital with
which to purchase the same, the La
Dor Exchange proposes to construct a
motor railway between Salem and
Falls City via Eola, independence and
Monmouth, If Polk county responds
at once and furnishes rails for the
road, that part of the line between
Independence and Falls City will be
built first. On the other hand If Sa-
lem raises a sufficient sum that part
of the line between Salem and Inde-
pendence will be constructed first.
All subscriptions will be made pay
able IN transportation and traffic over
the line when completed.
The line proposed between Salem
and Mill City via Shaw, Aumsville
and Mehama will also be built pro-
viding the necessary capital is fur
nished.
1t is proposed to organize Labor
Exchange at Independence.

OF POLITICS,
Criticised by a POpuIist
Because 1t Points Out the Dangers
of Socialism.
SALEM, Dec. 27.


EEIToR JoURNAL:-Will you allow
me to criticise your valuable little
treatise in one point that you iproba-
bly, overlooked. Do not think me pre-
sumptuous, as in a multitude of coun-
ellis is wisdom. In your statement OF
the objects in writing the work, one
is to "avoid the dangers of social
ISM" Now to the student,of the sub
ject of socialism and the universal
success attending the introduction OF
the methods advocated by Socialists,
in all countries, this is almost as alb
surd as to refer to the danger" of all
the people having plenty to eat and
wear.
Our United States mail system is
one of the applications of socialistic
teachings. Municipal ownership OF
gas, water works and electric light
plants is another socialistic scheme.
Your own paper contained an item
only few days since to the effect
that the city of Glasgow, Scotland,
would not levy any tax this year, be-
cause the revenues from her "social.
istic" railroads, gas works and water
works, was sufficient to pay all the
expenses of city government.
England is sociallstic to the extent
of owning her telegraph and telephone
lines and postal express and saving
banks, as we'll as mail system like we
have. Austro-Hungary goes one bet.
ter in socialism," by owning her
railroads, and the result is so "danger.
Gus" that man can ride as far as
from New York to San Francisco fol-
five dollars Of our money. And these
"sOcialistic" railroads do not kill al
many people in year as our railroads
kill in day, comparing per Thousand
miles.
/ could mention many, many more
instances Of successful application OF
the principles of socialism in thous-
ands of places, but the foregoing will
serve, as "hint is as good as a kick
to a wise man, /" and think that you
will readily see the point as soon as
your attention is called to it, or at
least as soon as you take the trouble Ia
look the matter up.
Hoping to have not offered you and
that this criticism may be taken In as
kindly spirit as it is Offered, remain
your well wisher.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.


The Salem Statesman OF December
25. has an editorial denouncing the
classified civil service and examiua'
tion rs TO fitness constituting quail
ncation for Office. Hear 1t shrek: -
Republicanism has been victorious!
The civil service law is fraud!
To the victor belongs the spOils!
Then follows the usual appeal to
plrtisan vlrulence and bad blood and
the conclusion is drawn that the
eternal vigilance of the office seeker
is alone the price of liberty. Charge
Chester; Charge! On Stanley, On!
And he barred his breast for his
country and fell upon the spears that
pierced his heart and died!
In this heroic strain the Statesman
sings the glOries of Il partisan system
exactly at a time when the Republi-
cans boast of more than partisan
victory for the honor and integrity of
of the nation! McKinley's victory
was won on narrow margin by
liberal use of money and very liberal
appeal to the sound money Democrats
to furnish the unusual vote which
Mckinley got in the eastern states.
Ii seems like remarkable time to
raise the cry for partisan public SER
vice.
The fact is that in spite of the parti-
san argument the classified civil SER
vice has grown strong in the country
until it embraces the entire clerical |
service in the postal and other de-
partments of the government. When
Mr.. Bonham at Salem became post
master he had one place to fill-his
assistant,-an Office requiring admin
strative ability. The other places
some eight or ten--were as completely
beyond his control SO far as removals
except for cause as though they had
been appointments in some merchants
store. And so in all the other depart
ments of government.
Take the Indian school: Was there
cot ;oGo;to +roi,I1Io md coon1a1 ,1nf n |
the institution was brought at last
completely under civil service rules? |
Did not the Statesman disgrace
itself by attacking Supt. Irwin's ad-
ministration when it did SO purely for
partisan motives and because its
henchmen could not be forced in |
there? Is not Supt. Hendricks of
the reform school holding down his
place because the state board did not |
see fit to throw him out for partisan |
reasons and put in man to learn the
duties all over again at the expense
OF the public? Has not the same state |
board recently put Supt. Knight back |
in charge of the deaf mute school be-
cause he was the man best qualified
to run it by experience and not because
he was politician? Is not Supt. |
Paine at the State Insane Asylum con-
ducting that institution on civil SER
vice principles and refused to remove

* A--demon of sickness-constipa
ton, is an easy enough thing to cure if
YOU take the right medicine. Constipa-
ton is one of the commonest things in the
world. It is really one of the most seri-
Gus things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow OF
water, and gradually a mass of poison
Gus. putrefying matter will accumulate.
That is exactly what happens in the
digestive organs when constipation be
gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and
IS forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts OF symp-
toms. A few of these are dizziness, Hatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss OF sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tions of the skin. These things are un-
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is gentle
laxative, two mild cathartic. There is
nothing else in the world like them.
There is nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing just as good, although
lieing and unscrupulous druggists may
sometimes tell you so for their own proht.

the druggist can get richf

wires.
