EDITORIAL.
Hofer Of the Salem Journal seems 10
be having hard time in his effort 70
enjoy an outing at Newport. He sue
cesds in staying a day or 30 at time a.
the seaside then an anxious, faraway
look Is seen 10 spread over his counten-
ance aud the next train takes him back
10 Salem where, IL is said, ]. H. Gates
OF senatorial fame, requires his pfes-
ence.-Eugene Register.
Editor Hoier, Of the Salem Journal,
went 10 where he had spent several
days. 10 Was rumored that bis friend
Gates could not stand his absence and
wanted him back.--Albany Herald.
The above Mitchell organs are Of the
combine that is pushing Senator Booth
for governor. Col. Booth. not Col. Hofer,
brought Gates to Salem, had him made
janitor, knew when he lit out with the
money, spent the night in isil with him
at Albany. Furthermore Gates was
Booths employee, did political fine work
Tor Booth, had his leg broken and his
skull cracked In Booths employ, Booth
compromised with him, and yet,
neither OF these editors ID willing 10 tell
what took place In the Jail as they offered
10 do.
The establishment OF q pleasure park
In q Salem suburb, reached by electric
cars, where a musical vaudeville pro-
gram is rendered, marks a step in the
progress OF the community and alls a
vacuum that has existed too long. Thou
sands OF people cannot leave the city
for recreation who can take ride out
into the fresh, clear, cool, pure air OF
the grove and enjoy an open-air enter
tainment for 10 cents for the round
trip. Salem has long needed some out
door IIlihse where cheap sport could be
had, and here II is. There ia band
stand for those who want front seat,
seats under the trees for the more diff
dent and walks for the altogether shy
and there will be shy and modest people
who are happiest In each others com
pany when no one is looking AZ long a
the world stands. The electric'lighted
grove with the sky above flooded will
moonlight and the sky below flooded
with music aud boobies OF young fellows
with their only one or two in tow, Il
just the thing for this wild and woolll
vale Of sorrows.
