HARMoNY VIII THE UNION

HARMONY WITH THE UNIONS
The best thinking people want to
work in harmony with the labor
unions.
But there are many Of the best
thinking people against the unions,
because they do not understand their
methods.
There Is a great deal of building in
this city, held back and not under
taken because of the misunderstand-
ing that exists.
The Carpenters Union and the
Building Trades Unions owe it to the
public, as well as themselves, that
this be removed.
Many people do not even know
what the wage scale of the unions is.
and do not know what their methods
of procedure are.
They are not going to take any
chances of getting into trouble with
the unions, and hence will not under
take improvements.
This condition of things is an in
justice both to the laboring men and
the unions and to the general public.
Our city should prosper. Everyone
who wants to build should be permit.
ted to build and employ labor. Let
there be a better understanding. The
Journal believes with a better under
standing prejudice will be removed,
and progress and prosperity will be
possible.

A Reversible Love Poem.

The following lines may be rea,
either up or down without altering tn
sense:
The stars were all alight,
The moon wa overhead;
I named her queen of night,
And she my footsteps led.
So ~wOndrous fair was she,
asked her to be mine.
AS she gIancel up at me
4 thrilled with love divine.
Beside the meadow bars,
As she stood lingering there,
Her eyes were like the stars,
In radiance wondrous fair.
you're all the world to me-"
She mnrmured sweet and shy,
A thTill Of ecstasy
7 felt at her reply.
love led us all the way,
AS we turned home again;
Our hearts were light and gay.
The world was blissful then.
Through shadows cross the sky.
No gloom our hearts could know;
True bliss is ever nigh
When hearts are blended so.

A SQUARE FIGHT.

The people generally are giving
approval Of the square fight The Jour
nal made for the denomination of Con-
gresham Hermann.
The Journal stated openly and fatty
who 1t was for, and gave its reasons,
and maintained an unequivocal posi-
tion.
Binger Herman Is the most compe-
tent man to serve the interests of
this district, n the editor wants no
postofice.
Binger Herman secured the largest
appropriation for the Salem Indian
school II has ever had.
He will do more to secure an appro-
priation to protect the Salem water
front than any man we could send
there.
This is generally admitted, and no
wonder there were politicians who
turned themselves inside out to fight
his return to congress.
There are politicians who can al.
ways be found knocking the Capital
City on anything It undertakes.
But a square fight won out, and for
two years more we shall have a con
gresham animated by no mean small
spirit OF envy or jealousy OF any part
of his district, but who will work
faithfully for all interests, and for ev,
cry section of the seventeen counties.

apparent to all.
The suburbs are entitled to lights
water, sewers, streets, sidewalks and
crosswalks, and, in spite of this, there
are minds so small and nigagrdly as to
want to forever keep those privileges
exclusively for themselves, and do II
at the expense of others. So long as
this litigation II threatened the city
authorities will hardly be justified in
installing lights or other improve
ments.
Let us all join hands and go forward
to make Salem the best city in the in
terror, and the best and healthlest res
idence city in the West.

OUR coNeREssMEN ARE RIGHT

OUR coNeREssMEN ARE RIGHT.
The Dalles Chronicle, an anti.Wil
Hanson paper, up to convention,
says:
"Mr. Williamson is right in his OPP
position to the repeal of the timber
and stone act and the desert land law.
If these are repealed the syndicates
that own some of the best timber
lands on the coast will hold them at
their own prices. It may be true that
some fraud has been perpetrated in
the acquisition of these timber belts,
but if the act was repealed now, II
would debar people from acquiring
the desirable lands remaining, and
would literally give the railroads and
other rich corporations control of the
market. The desert land act. in arid
districts, has been a great stimulant
to settlers to inaugurate irrigation
schemes, and has been the means
whereby valuable agricultural lands
have been reclaimed. For the benefit
of the people, both these acts should
remain, not perhaps as they now are,
but with amendments remedying some
of the evils that have existed"
The above, as we understand, is the
position of Congressman Hermann.

on him, and thrice, before the maid
brought up the jugs, Hanks diluted his
milk with large measure filled from
the tub. Then he served the young
woman calmly and went on.
