MAYOR BISHOPS RESIGNATION

The resignation of Mayor Bishop
comes at a time when his friends, and
the friends of the Citizens admins.
tration would much rather have seen
him remain in office, but from a busi.
ness point OF view, all his friends con.
cede that II was about the only thing
for Mr. Bishop to do in justice to him.
self He has large and growing bust.
ness interests and having served
Eve years without compensation or
hope OF reward is probably entitled to
be relieved.
Mayor Bishop has served practically
five years, and those among the most
critical years Of Salem's history. When
he was elected on a Citizens ticket, to
break the rule of ring politics, it was
no easy undertaking, and he was tri
umphantly elected with the entire tick,
ct on a platform that meant reversal Of
the old order of things. and a new
deal in the matter of financing our
city Ie was elected on a platform
favoring fiat salaries for city officers
and employees. with all fees going into
the city treasury. It stood for fund.
ing the floating city debt in per cent
popular loan bonds, for running the
city within It's income. and for the ex.
panslon and up-buildlng OF the city
generally, all 10 be done without refer.
ence 10 politics.
These policies were carried out
faithfully by the entire administration.
until they have become so generally
accepted that It will be difficult for
any set OF men to recede from them.
MIR. Bishop and his colleagues are en-.
titled TO the utmost credit for their
work In this behalf, and the latter, as
well as hundreds Of other good citi.
zens, will sorely regret the necessity
for his resignation.

Why the Mills Shut Down.

In an interview Senator Booth, of
the Booth-Kelly Company, has two ex-
plantations for the unfortunate closing
of their extensive Lane county saw.
mills The burden OF his explanation
is that his company cannot get cars,
on account OF a railroad car shortage.
It is probable though that a very few
words he slipped into the interview
tell the story more to the point, and
in accordance with the facts. "It
we can again find markets, which are
now badly demoralized," says Mr..
Booth, "and can get cars with which
to ill orders these two mills (Spring
field and Coburg) will continue to
run till the logs we have on hand
are cut up" Markets badly demoral.

Climatic Cures.

The influence OF climatic conditions
in the cure OF consumption is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too, can do much
better at home by proper attention to
food digestion, and a regular course
OF German Syrup. Free expeotoration
in the morning is made certain by
German Syrup, so is a good nights
rest and the absence OF that weak
ening cough and debilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the ex.
haustion due TO coughing, the great.
est danger and dread OF the consump-
tive, can be prevented or stopped by
taking German Syrup literally and
regularly. Should you be able 10 go
