The merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla

The merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla
Is literally written IN blood.
1t is traced in the vital fluid
or millions of the human race.
Its positive medicinal merit
And cnratiYe power is written
Upon the hearts, and craven upon
The minds of thousands
or people whom it has cured
And given good health
When there seemed nothing before
Them but darkness aud despair.

1t is noticeable that those who sneeI
at civil service reform qualifications
want many offices. All those public
officers, engaged in the business OF
putting their relatives in offices or

criticism OF their conduct. We are

son, but those officials who must

practice of foisting their relatives
on the public is known, and that 1t
will be fought to the bitter end.

repeated with impunity, or that the /

What would the legislature do if it
were called in special session? What
would it not do? On the Mitchell
side in the lower house, or either
house, there is no leadership but the
antiqulted secret caucus methods
The other side seems to have been
directed mainly from the outside.
The leadership was more of resistance
than of well defined Affirmative action.
No platform or principle seemed to
guide thCm,n 20 former political preced-
ent governed them.
1t seems the general opinion that
the members of our last legislature,
as body, possessed more mediocrity
than any before elected to represent
our state. The senate averaged much
higher than the house, but there was
no superabundance Of brain.matter in
that body. Think of some Of them

THE JOURNAL today is an educa-
tiOnal number. Salem is an educa-
tioral center. We have an excellent
public school system. We have pri-
yate kindergartens, young ladies'
academy, business colleges, prepara-
tory schoolsl and to crown all, an
university. We present, with pride,
in this issue great deal of matter
accompanied by illustrations in half
tones. The JOURNAL believes in ed
alton for the masses. 1t should be-
gin earlier in the life of the little
ones 10y the kindergarten system. We
plead for better conditions for the
tender age of childhood, now so much
neglected The larger boys and girls
go as far as their ambition will carry
them. THE JOURNAL believes in ex-
alting the calling of the teacher into
a'profession. 1t believes in permanent
tenures for teachers of recognized
ability. In one school in this city, to
illustrate, a principal has in five
years of personal contact with the
children, obliterated almost every
vestige of vulgar conduct, profanity,
obsenity and quarrelllng, where before
his influence was fully established
those evils were disgracefully COM
mon. That teachers service is in
valuable.
We congratulate the people of Sa-
lem on the progress making in their
public schools and all their institu-
tion Of learning. We believe our'city
is ahead of any city on the Pacific
coast as desirable place to bring up
a family because of these advantages.
