science, courses OF study that do not
come down to common necessities OF the
situation, is rot reason why the
masses of business intelligence should
not be appealed to for a solution OF the
evils OF municipal misrule. When we
have a great political campaign to wage,
when the tariff or the finance are the
paramount issue, we do not go to the
colleges, but the great solid army Of
business men Of the nation. While we
have settled the issue Of honest money,
we have not settled the issue of honest
finance in city affairs. There must be
an honest, plain, practical basis for
financing the affairs of city, on which
men OF business intelligence can come
to an agreement. There must be sys-,
tenn Of public finance in determining the
income and outgo, the fixed charges and
the operating expenses of u municipal
corporation just as certain and infallible
as in laying down the lines Of budget
for great factory or a railroad system.
We have not achieved honest finance
from the public standpoint, when we
let private interests dictate the terms Of
bond issue. In fact, it is more dis
honest than to let a policeman mulct
saloonkeeper for keeping his side door
open on Sunday. There is a sound
municipal finance. Without it there is
no good municipal government possible.

The reader may be tempted 10 say:
This is all commonplace and theoretical
writing about what might be accom-.

Any one familiar with Salem can tell
you OF Acommunity that was few years
ago on the verge Of bankruptcy from po.
litical misrule. This is a county seat and
state capital with machine politics
strongly developed and powerfully in
trenched. There were the usual state,
county, city and school machine and
rings all in the control OF the dominant
party, with wo.thrds OF the voters back
OF it. Coming TO municipal conditions
resulting from machine methods, there
were frauds, packed primaries, corrupt
contracts in city aud county jobs, con-
stantly increasing taxes with decreasing
valuations. The city was hopelessly in
debt beyond the charter limit, aud ex-
penditures were exceeding income by 20
per cent, County and city warrants
we're selling at a discount. The school
district was year and half behind in
it's revenues. Taxes were not collected
promptly, and many large property
owners were favored by low assessments
and extensions of time of payment.
Franchises were given away. In three
years this condition of things has been
abolished. A business administration
was put in power in city, county and dis
trict. All debt creation was stopped.
All three corporations are on a cash
basis, all warrants being paid or funded
by popular loan at four per cent. All
maturing debt has been taken up in the
same way. Ten year call bonds at four
per cent are sold at popular subscription
at par, and the smallest subscribers are
served first, and in this way all munich
pal debts of the past regimes are taken
up at home, and the people become
stockholders or creditors OF the com
munity of which they are part, and
thus become guarantors Of good govern
ment.

Poets

r. HYMING comes easy to some.
X Babies occasionally lisp rhymed
- couplets and among the millions
of combinations to which the English
language is susceptible there is neces-
sarily a large proportion which may be
written or spoken in measured and
rhymed syllables. Occasionally a per-
son who is not immune from the con-
tagion of poetry stumbles into
rhyming or a pair of metrical SEN
tences. The feat, accidental though it
be, goes to his head like the first drink
of champagne, and the future course
Of that man cannot be insured. 1t is
quite likely that he will begin his de-
scent into avernus by writing a poem
for the local paper wherein he will vio-
lently force spoon to rhyme with doom,
or hurry with bury. If an intimidated
or friendly editor prints the awful
thing, it is the beginning of the end.
The man may be a good lawyer or
dentist: es macht NIGHTS aus; there
after he carries a deadly roll of poems
in his pockets and reads them to the
acquaintanceS he meets on the cars or
in any moment between acts when the
acquaintance has calculated on
sorpOrific smoke day-dream or reading
leisure. The rhymer may be a thor
oughly good fellow, but his fellow
men avoid him as they do infection.
He pines to hear his own voice read
ing his own poetry, and the longing
destroys all pity for his fellows and all
sense of humor. The essence of CANA
raderie is volatile and it is dissipated
by the love of applause which induces
the banal rhymer to read his own
poems to friends he hopes to reduce.
Contrariwise there are rhymers with
an unerring sense of rhythm whose
lines flow easily and naturally. Their
ways are the ways of pleasantness and
they say what they wish to without
being forced into nonsense in search of
a rhyme. They are not enslaved by
the medium of communication, they
are born masters of it. No man can
compose a poem a day. The num-
ber of talented men and women who
write a half column or so a day of
melodious, pointed rhymes and occa-
sionally a poem of real depth and
sweetness are not appreciated to their
talents fullness partly on account of
these first rhymers who embarrass
every editor and see no difference be-
tween their work and the work of a
true poets metrical, pointed stanzas.
Between the poet of passion and of
sentiment there is a chasm seldom
crossed, but the everyday poet is read
by thousands. Literary fellows dis
cover the poet of passion and he is
the idol for day of a cult. The Long
fellows whom the critics call common
place, who wrote poems about the vii
lage blacksmith shop, about a bridge,
about a clock, about his children and
about other homely commonplace
things, are read by the multitude, and

expressing the reasons for the double
suicide is a pathetic commentary on
the danger of a little learning and
the fatal fascination of stringing long
words together.
In the winter there is plenty of work,

can not find it, is looking for a super
intendency or some kind of an exalted
job in keeping with his ideas of his

was foolish, vain and shiftless. Every
body is conscious of powers unrecog-
niZed and untried. The world is ones
schooldays over again. A boy is never
called upon to recite that part of the
lesson which he knows brilliantly.
Someone else was always called upon
to recite the portion of the lesson
which 1 knew best and could have
electrified the class and unsuspecting
teacher by reciting. The rest of the
class do not realize that the blunders
of the particular pupil who is recit-
ing are teaching and limiting the cor
rect answer to them.
The man who kills himself is
coward. If he has not received SYM
pathy, he has given none. If he is
underestimated, he has not done his
best. The boy said he was unfit to
live in a heartless world. He was lack
ing in courage and in understanding
and he killed himself because he could
not read the riddle of life.
Wars and pestilence have ceased to
weed out the unfit. The suicidal i'm
pulse is accomplishing a very small
done by constant warfare and sweeping
epidemics. There are people, lots of
people, who are too silly to live, but
they get married and increase the
number of imbeciles. This boy had
sense enough to know that his aspira-
tions coupled with his objections to
hard work. would make him unhappy
all his life and he preferred to die.
But he might have let his poor old
doting mother live. Suicide is the last
resort of nature for getting rid of the
unfit Not so many will kill them
selves when it is generally accepted
that the young and healthy who kill
themselves are towards and conceited
donkeys who do it to get at least a
momentary prominence and excite a
sympathy they do not deserve.
When a man realizes that he has an
incurable disease that will kill him
slowly and most painfully there is an
excuse for suicide. The well and strong
can not condemn him because pain
transforms. Or when disgrace, merit

Suicide

A mother sixty-three years old and
a son twenty-four years of age took
poison last week in Minneapolis. Their
reasons for killing themselves were
stated in a letter to the public writ
ten by the son. He said that he and
his mother had six reasons for leaving
this world. The six were restatements
of the same complaint: inability to
support themselves. They were
Swedes, and the son had gone to col
lege just long enough to acquire a
contempt for manual labor and a con-
ceit of writing. He persuaded his
mother that he was fitted for some
thing better than laboring with his
hands, but he could find no market
for his brains and for his crude COM
position. so he persuaded his mother
that the best thing for both of them
was to voluntarily leave an unappre-
ciative world. He was the last of
seven not very sound offspring, and
