THE POPULAR LOAN.

saying that the popular loan city
bonds are taxable. and holding out
the idea that they should be taxed.
The person writing signs "Reven.

would be found to be some thrifty
person who is interested In defeating
the popular loan
To tax the popular loan Is like the
school board taxing the school
houses, which no intelligent person
would favor for a moment.
The writer Revenue" is an enemy
of the popular loan because If the
popular loan had TO pay taxes they
would have to draw seven or eight per
cent interest 10 be desirable.
There have been three popular
loans in Salem at four per cent, and.
by common consent, they have not
been considered taxable.

This may be true. but the charter

which killed twenty persons and
injured double that number, and
the Southern Pacific catastrophe
in California where the loss of

instances the accidents are attri-

CRA r."
It was recently telegraphed
from Washington that Pierpont
Morgan, being displeased with
the views of President Roose-
welt on the trust question, would
very likely support the Demo-
cratic ticket at the next presi-
Dental election if some conser-
vative Democrat were nominated.
In plain words it was intimated
that if the king of Wall street is
allowed to control the Demo-
cratic party and to use it to per-
pertuate his monopolies he will
spend some money to elect the
Democratic ticket next year.
OF course Mr.. Morgan will not
abandon the Republican party to
eSpOuse the cause of Democracy
without having every assurance
that the investment will pay.
Before he opens his barrel to the
campaign committee he will in
SiSt upon clear title to the
ownership of the thing he buys.
Nothing short of an iron clad
mortgage on the presidential
nominee will satisfy him. Less
than a guilt-edged guarantee
that the goods will be delivered
as per contract Will not Justify
him in relinquishing his present
holt on the Republican party.
Morgan belongs to that class of
political highwaymen who hold
up" the American people by
owning the party in power and
who are absolutely cold blooded
If it is true that he is inclined
to make deal with the Demo-
cracy, it is because he believes
that party will offer less resist
ance to his monopOlistic schemes.
His displeaSure at the views of
President Roosevelt shows the
degree Of subserviency which he
exactS of his political tools
While the rough rider has as
sumed a grandstand pose and
made a few rhetorical displays
in his attitude toward the trusts.
it is we'll known that he is not a
by a long shot
But despite his amiable and
genteel treatment of the trust
question he has provoked the i'll
will of Mr.. Morgan who
threatens to decapitate him be-
cause of his alleged unfriendli- |
ness to our benevolent feudal- |
ISM
Now it is clear that Democrats
who want to see their party some |
thing better than the abject slave
of the money power, will find lit
tie consolation in the announce
ment that Mr.. Morgan will sup
port the Democrat ticket if a |
conservative Democrat' is nom
mated for president.
If the Democracy must crook
,he knee to Wall street that
thrift may follow fawning, it is
sar better that that party, which
vas founded by the great expo
lent of human rights, should
lgain go down in defeat. If sue
less must be won by a shameful
to the enemies of the
'eal Democracy, sincere Demo-
rats throughout the Union who
re not merely seekers after the
polls Of Office, will welcome an
honorable defeat.

The appalling results in both ac-
cidents have awakened the au-
thorities to u realization of their
duty and it is reported that rigid
Investigations will be made with
view of finding out who is re-
human life. Further than fixing
the blame upon the derelict en-
ployes, the judicial investigations
will not accomplish much. The
men whose negligence or DISC
bedience caused the awful Sacri-
fee of human life are not crimi-
nails and prosecution can not
be expected to result in their
conviction on either the charge
of murder or manSlaughter.
But it is nevertheless a move in
the right direction.
According to the bulletin is
sued by the Interstate Com
merce Com mission 24O persons
were killed and $500 injured in
L y
ing the months of July, August
and September. It is safe to
say that these figures do not in
clude all the railroad accidents
in which people were killed and
injured during the three months
mentioned. The unwillingnesS
Of the railroad companies to give
any information on this subject
is we'll known. In many in
stances the fatalities do not even
find their way into the news
papers. Railroad men are I'M
der strict orders not to speak
Of accidents and when they Oc-
cur at remote points it is almost
impossible to find out anything
about them.
The people have become so ac-
custOmed to hearing that some
one has been killed by railroad
accident that unless the number
of deaths is very large the oc-
currence causes no conn ent and
the authorities pay no attention
to it.
While The Picayune bemoans
this awful record of death, it
offers no remedy to stop this
cruel waste of life. It merely
suggests that the best inventive
thought of the present gener-
alton ought to be applied to the
task.'
Though The Gazette frankly
confesses its inability to deal
with this very vital problem, as
it should be dealt with. it be-
lieves that some good will result
from an investigation by the au-
til critics of every accident which
: accompanied by loss of life.
Every time a person is killed
in a railway accident his death
should be made the subject of a
full judicial inquiry. Railroad
should be held to a
stricter accountability when
they or their agents cause the
death of a human being. In
vestigatiOnS by the officers Of
the law may not put an end to
these Death dealing accidents,
but they will at least show that
has yet some regard for
the sacredness CT human life.

The Salvation Army is at least
original in it's methods of saving
souls. It's eccentricities have
long fed the wonder of people
whose idea of religion does not
conform with the freakiSh and
spectacular form in vague among
the followers of General Booth.
Recently General Booths staff
were travelling on a train from
Memphis to Little Rock. They
walked from their private car in
to a coach in which sat several
negroes. Here was an Opportu-
nifty to save Il few souls and the
salvatiOniStS could not resist the
temptation to put in some work
for the Lord. Major Cox, the
chief of staff, gave his attention
to one negro who seemed to offer
an exceptionally inviting field for
missionary work. He threw his
arms around the Ethiopian and
kissed him, eXplaininghis strange
performance with the following
words: This is what we think
Of your race" The matter was
reported to General Booth who
replied that it was Major Cox's
own affair." Mr.. Booth-Tucker's
explanation of the incident was
THAT it was Major Cox's way of
saving a SOUL
While most people will agree
with General Booth that this sin
gular OSculatOry exercise was
Major CoX's own affair." they
will doubtless wonder at the re-
ligiOuS fervor of the man who
hopes to save a blue-gummed ne
gro by kissing him. Though
skeptical people will hardly be-
lieve in tho efficacy Of this meth
Cd of salvation they will no dou bt
be struck with the novelty of the
scheme and the sublime faith Of
Major Cox.
It requires an unusual degree
of religious tolerance to refrain
from classifying Cox either as a
fraud or a lunatic.
