carson,s Nerve

What's finer than cool. thoughtful
nerve? Everybody will be glad 20
hear that the glitterlng nerve of the
man who held the Missouri Pacific
railway bridge across the Kaw river
at Kansas City was not In vain, says
the Denver Post.
The mans name is w. S. Carson,
superintendent Of terminals in Kansas
City.
When the Kaw food swept down
on Kansas City, Carson ordered eight
OF the company's most ponderous To-
eomotives upon the bridge 20 weight

The locomotives were worth si20.

But Il was worth a million dollars
TO the railway to hold the bridge
across the river. and a sum beyond
computation to the two Kansas citle,

DEMAND FoR THE POPULAR LOAN

The present city council does wrong
In deferring action in taking up the
$4,000 Of accruing city bonds on the
popular loan plan.
The city should save every dollar of
interest on it's bonded debt and the
popular loan plan has worked 80 well
in the past II should not be aban.
doned.
Why the city council deferred or.
dering a special election for authorlz.
lining the popular loan, is beyond or.
binary comprehension.
This is a public matter. and II was
supposed that the popular loan policy
was firmly established in this com
munity.
The old way OF monopolizing all
city finances in the interest of few
persons ought to be played out in sa.
lem.
The people have an abundance of
money lying idle that will go readily
into the popular loan, when one can
be had.
The people have the first right to
take up the debts of the city. and the
city council has no business to sur.
render that right.
The whole 100000 will be taken in
small sums Of $50 to $4,000, II the peo.
pie are given the opportunity. and the
committee deserves credit for acting
promptly and submitting the resolu.
tions published elsewhere.
They should be taken up and
promptly acted upon. Let not this
right be juggled with or taken from
the people.

the educators of the day is not the
learning that makes men learned but
the learning that equips men for the
affairs Of life.
The ideal citizen is the man who
achieves. He may achieve without q
college education. but with a college
education he ought to achieve more
ought to be able to take full advant
age of "the greatest chance a people
ever had"
The question still remains to be an.
swered. whether men are rendered ft
or unfit for usefulness by much that
passes for college education.
In proportion as college education
initiates vanity and gives its benefici-
airy the swell-head II units him for
usefulness.
Modesty. desire TO perform the
humber tasks Of life well. an aspira.
tion to become a self-sustaining citl.
zen instead of barnacle upon others,
should be the result of education.
Too often the opposite qualities are
the product of college education-im.
modesty. a desire to do anything but
work for an honest living, and a will.
lingness to live OF society in some ar.
tifcial manner.

TO BE FAULTLEss is TO
BE FRIENDLEss,


Did you ever realize that 70 be
faultless is to be friendless?
It is hard to believe that he who is
perfect, is one OF us.
One OF the greatest faults one can
conceive in another is trying to make
the world believe that he is without
faults
AS a rule people are loved for their
weaknesses. shortcomings and faults
acknowledged and not for their pro
claimed virtues
When consideration is had OF the
temptations lying thick and OF the
weakness of human nature 10 with
stand, liberal demands should be
made on charity. Each one is entitled
TO live his own life. solve his own
problems keeping ever in view the
rights and immunitles Of his fellows
and so long as we demand this for
ourselves we should concede It to
others and make the recognition
thereof part and parcel OF our lives.
The gosslper says there is no smoke
without FIRE" a false epigram that has
brought clouds into and driven the
sunshine and happiness out of many
a life.
He who Is broad minded and charit.
able says hate. envy and jealousy
loyeth a shining mark" and his is in.

the good within one another, but 81.

comings OF another are being dis.
oussed.

RESULTS OF FALSE EDUCATION

Congressman Cannon said to the

To the same class President

The university must train men to
think the truth; It must make men
who think in large relations. Men
must be found who can be masters.
IL Is good to createt scholars; il is

On the same day, before the gradu,

RIGHT ATTITUDE OF
LABOR UNIONS.

LABOR UNIONS.
The Journal employs union labor
and believes in the organization Of
labor for It's own protection and pro
mellon OF its true interests.
The Journal believes in employing
the most competent labor at fair
wages and favorable conditions as TO
hours and compensation.
Il is one OF the few institutions In
the city that has never demanded
more than nine hours Of its employees,
with rare exceptions.
So II believes II can discuss the
question OF what is the right attitude
which labor unions should take and
occupy toward the community.
II cannot be successfully charged
that The Journal Is discussing the
subject from any upfriendly attitude
now or hereafter
II is for the purpose OF securing a
discussion OF this question that we
give space TO the following communi.
cation from Salem business man
and an employer Of labor and capital.

fact that where labor unions prevail

The Journal does not believe there

We have lived in hopes that this
should be the one city where all re
lations between capital and labor
should be friendly and amicably ad

AS a matter OF fact there Is a great

Labor unions know this as well az

No fatalities, however, have been re-

Will Be Another Delay in
Building Addition to the
School House.
CONSIDERED THATPRICEASKED
FOX WORK is TOO HIGH.
After Slight Change in Specifica.
tions More Bids Will Be
Called For.

All bids for building the new
addition to the village school
house We're rejected at the meet
ing of the board of education yes
lterday afternoon. There We're
only two bids entered, but both
of these called for an amount
about double what the board
originally intended to expend on
the improvement.
The plans and specifications
for the four. room addition, with
basement, the whole to be CON
structed of brick and stone, We're
drawn by Bert D. Keck, the
Crookston architect. He esti-
mated that the cost Of the build
inc. complete would be S4,50O, or
S., 900 at most. When the bids
were opened at the meeting of
the board, it was found the cost,
if either was accepted, would be
in the neighborhood Of $4,000,
and the school commissioners
gasped for breath and started
figuring. Three or four meet
ings were held to consider the
|question, with the result that
yesterday it was decided to re-
iect all bids. At first it was
thought that by leaving off GER
tain improvements for the pres
ent the cost would be consider
ably lowered, but it was found
that even by doing this there
would be a saving Of only five or
six hundred dollars. There was
a little talk of leaving off the
basement, but the latter is con-
Isldered absolutely indispensable
and the thought-of leaving it out
of the calculations was immedi-
ately dismissed. The full base
ment can be used either as a
gymnasium or as space for two
additional school rooms
The contractors say they have
plenty of jobs on hand now, that
labor is scarce and high and that
no cheaper price for building the
addition can be made. Mr.. Keck
said that he could make slight
changes in the specifications
which would lower the cost of
building, and he was instructed
to do this.
