A Merry Christmas and bright New
Year to all the readers Of The TIMES!

This is the last issueaof THE TIMES for
1892, next .weelz will be 1893. It'll is our
aim and Expectation make. The TIMES
a good home paper. The patronage of
the past has been good, but we hope it
will still be better this new year The
paper IS home enterprise, devoted to
home news and home interests, and of
curse looks to its own people first for
the support 1t deserves. If the town
aud vicinity do not want paper, it IS
an easy matter to stop it, all you have
to do, is to'withold your patr onage. A
newspaper is of all things most Deepen
dent on popular favor; it is a power
il the people uphold it, but is worthless
when they stand away from 1t. Can't
you next year IN your outlay Of expens-
es, set asd one dollar for THE TIMES?
It5givss you more news that eyou3 want
to hear in the course.of It's fifty two is
sues than any other one paper you can
get. Can't you be liberal with Jour pa
per even as other towns are liberal with
theirs? To tell the people every week
to come to your store, that you are glad
to have them come, ID worth money to
you. People prefer to go where they
know they are wanted. You will find it
much easier to turn away trade than to
drum it up. Be liberal in your deal
rugs with your paper and it sswill repay
you far more than you anticipate.

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-datefarmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

VALUE OF HOME ADVERTISING.

Salem merchants who are filling this
paper with advertisements deserve the
patronage Of Salem people.
Thecrowd who rush to Portland once
a week to 10 shopping should almost
disappear this year.
The larger stocks and the larger stores
make Salem the most desirable place
to trade from every standpoint.
Portland merchants have to pay heay-
Ter expenses Of all kinds and must make
their money largely on out-of.town Gus
TONERS.
The compet.t on at Salem is now such
that every article from the finest to the
dearest can be had right here at home
as cheap as in New York
II your merchant hasn't got exactly
what you want give him chance TO get
it for you, and buy what he has adver-
tised to bring business TO this city from
all the surrounding country.
The home advertiser makes a live
town. He employs people and deserves
the fret consideration.

THE VISITS OF ROYALTY.

Prince Henry isnot the fret of royalty
to visit US. King Louis Philippe, OF
France visited the United States before
his ascension to the throne, as also did
Napoleon III. Jerome Bonaparte visited
America and married an American girl,
a Miss Pati erson, whom he afterwards
deserted and divorced.
King Oscar, of Sweden, visited our
country when he was but lieutenant
in the Swedish navy; and the Prince Of
Wales, who is now King Edward Of
England, visited us in 1860. Prince AL.
bert of Belgium, the Arch Duke Francis
Ferdinand Of Austria, and the Grand
Duke Alexis Of Rnssia have all visited
the United States to cay nothing Of Queen
Liliuokalani Of Hawaii,
1t was formerly the theory in Europe
that no monarch could cross the boun-
daries Of his country without he first
appointed a regent to administer the
affairs Of his government, but of late
years there has been great change in
this idea. Some four years ago King
Leopold proposed to visit the Congo
country, aud council was called at
Brussels to consider the question of sp.
pointing a regent, but it was decided
that 80 long as the king kept himeeli
within easy reach Of the telegraph and
cable it would not be necessary to es-
t4blish regency.
This sensible view Of the matter was
adopted by all the other countries and
Emperor William Of Germany has even
administered the affairs Of his govern
ment from 80 great distance aS
Jerusalam, and it is now customary foI
the European monarchs to frequently
visit each other.
In our country there is foolish trad
ition that the president must never
step across the boundaries, yet ther,
is no constitutional or statutory pro
vision against it, and il President Roose

cLACKAmAs COUNTY POLITICS

The people Of this state have great
reason to be apprehensiye about Clacka-
mas county politics. The condition OF
that county with its great debt and high
taxes is likely to be- spread all oyer the
state.
The greatest objections to the initiative
aud referendum Ia that IL is champioued
by mon out OF whom not a particle OF
good has ever come forth In our state
government,
Mr.. U'ren OF ClAcksmas county about
divided his time in eulogy OF the
referendum and Mr. Brownell on his
recent Wilt TO Salem. The corporation
push that has been back OF Mr.. Brownell
and Mr.. U'ren Is the same.
Men who only accomplish bad re-
suits and high taxes in their own COM
munity are dubious god-lathers for a
sacred reform In the interest Of purer
government,
Men who are financed by corporations
aud bosses who have corrupted our
politics are poor devices to offer the
salvation embodied in Direct Legisla-
tion.
The editor of TuE JOURNAL asked Mr..
u'ren when he was in iown the other
day II he did not know that Mr. Brownell
only wanted 10 90 to the senate 20 be-
come chairman Of the railroad COM
mittoe9
We asked him II he did not know Mr..
Brownel'a record when he was chairman
OF that committee in the state senate,
aud what become Of reform measures
aimed at certain abuses9
lie said he did but MIR, BroWnell was
friend Of the referendum and IL was
better 10 get some good out OF bad
man than TO yet nothing, lie gave
that az his excuse for supporting Mr.
Brownell for reelection.
Tho people should adopt the initiative
aud referendum unless some greater
fraud lurks behind il than can now be-
aeen. but they should not be deceived
into the idea that IL will save them
from demagogues.
The woFst thing about Claokamas
county politics is that with the prsss
muIEled there such demagogues can de-
eeiye the people and be returned 20 make
laws for the rest OF the state,
