The finances of the club will be
overhauled. AS usual with such bodies
the club was run in debt, for pam.

The present officers are probably
not to blame for running the club in

CANDIDATES FOR ALDERMEN.

The people of the seven wards OF
Greater Salem should take an active
interest in bringing out their best and
most cnterprising business men, repre-.
sentative citizens for aldermen at the
coming city election.
The Republican primaries will be
conducted on the direct nomination
plan, which permits any group of FIVE
citizens to nominate n candidate fol
alderman and submit his name at the
Republican primary on the Australian
ballot plan.
No fairer means of nominating can.
didates can be invented and if the
Citizens administration concludes to
nominate its best men in the same
way, the people will be sure to hava
a choice Of the very best material that
each wards affords.
The office of alderman is generally
considered not worth having but the
future development Of Greater Salem
is a matter that ought to interest any
patriotic citizen.
Beautiful Salem, the Capital City,
has a great future, and it is debt and
a duty we owe to the state to make
this a clcan city morally, as well as
sanitary.
Good government, progressive gov
ernment, and good business manage
mert ought to go hand in hand, and
are not inconsistent with each other
With an entorprising city government
this city can be doubled in population
in the next Ave years.

EMPLOYERS OF LABOR.

Many people have an imperfect idea
Of the Importance to any city of hav.
ing an entcrprlsing management of the
electric light plant.
The statement was printed that pay
day yesterday involved the distribu
tion of $4,000 for the months work to
the worhngmen of the city.
An additional force of ten men was
put on the new lighting line to the re.
form school and all the state institu.
tions are being connected with light
ing lines from this city.
Several of these institutions have
heretofore made their own electric
lights. II will all be made and dis
tributed from Salem hereafter.
The power line from Silverton will
bring about 1900 horse power to this
city, that will operate the street cars,
ana furnish power for factories, eleva,
tors, etc
The ownership Of this plant by a
capitalist who has abundant means
at his command to develop the plant
means a great deal to this city. II
means increased manufacturing, ex.
tension OF motor lines, building Of belt
lines, etc.
Under it's new ownership and the
Greater Salem charter this electric
plant will become one OF the largest
taxpayers OF the city The employ
ment OF live capital to employ labor
and make improvements is what
makes a live town.

wages, worklngmen at fair wages all

and build homes, are public benefac.

DISCUSSING LABOR UNIONS.

"Unionism in Salem is a one-slded
humbug, a snare and a delusion."
L, II Flagg ina communication to
the press has this in reply:
Mr.. c. b. Irvine in his Sentinel,
expresses his opinion of organized la.
Dor in Salem in very Incorporate
terms declaring that its leaders are
'anarchistic nobodies and windy min.
compoops.' Organized labor in Sa.

"Mr Irvine says in his article tnat

Organization is not infallible and
might pursue policies that would be
come hurtful or beneficial as the case
might be-
II may be that IN their first efforts
at presenting the demands of trades
unions the unions at Salem over
reached as it is claimed they did at
Portland
But, even admitting that, and all
that may be said against unions that
has a basis of truth, the preponder.
ancc of fact is in favor of labor un.
ions.
In a free country. with free press
and free speech, and as intellig snt as
the masses of the people are in this
country. it stands to reason that Ia
Dor unions will not in the long ruu
pursue policies hurtful to themselves.
Indiscriminate condemnation of la.
Dor unions does not settle the ques.
ton. Neither does universal admira.
lion for these organizations as infal.
lible instruments of humanity and
justice.
The Journal believes that labor un.
ions arc beneficial and profitable tt
the members and society if conducted
along lines and principles of educa
| tiou and cooperation.
They have a right to contend for
better conditions and TO protect them.
selves against the corrosion of de
structive competition with one an.
other.
We believe they have made mis-
takes in tho pest, especially in com.
munities whore trades unionism is
young, in not having sufficient consid.
GRAFTON for existing conditions.
But consider that congress rnd
legislatures, which are picked bodies
of men, make serious and almost Grim.
inal bluders. and you will be moro
charitable Of organized labor's mis-.
takes.
Organized labor should expend
more of its energies in promoting pol
icies that will give greater employ
ment to labor, in favoring conditions.
that will produce the largest possible
wage fund.
But that is exactly what the wisest
statesmen are engaged in doing OF
trying to do-artifcially increase wage
FUNDS. If organized labor takes hold
of that they are accuseI of going into
politics.
But that is what The Journal ecri.
ously advises them to consider-not
going into politics, but promoting such
policies as will give the largest posi-.
bic employment to labor under faiH
conditions.
A policy that would keep all tht
carpenters at work the year around
at fair wages would be worth consid
eriEg and advocating by every labor
union in Salem.
A policy that would keep all the
common labor, all the teamsters, an6
all the mechanics employed tho year
around at Salem at fair wages would
be worth laying awake nights to bring
about.
All the common labor, mechanics,
an@ toamsters employed all the year
around at Salem would make more
demand for building lots and would
erect more houses than all the worlds
fair ever held.
If organized labor will consider
such policies and pursue them it viii |
do more for its welfare than by rny
restrictive or dominating policy 1t can
adept.
BY such policies it will peacefully |
dominate and that is the greatest vie
tory OF oil victories 1t could win, and
we hope to be able to show labor un.
ions how that can be brought about |

The demurrer to tho allegations affect-

that tho statute deharring registrars from
