When the movement for formal celebration
at Salem of the hundredth anniversary Of Haw-
thorne's birth was in progress Mr.. Choate asked
Mrs. Humphry Ward to contribute few pages
20 the occasion. Her brief letter 10 him, en-
bodying her tribute to the novelist, is printed in
"Cornhill." It contains nothing new about Haw-
thorne, it shows no original insight into his
genius, but we note in it passage which is in
teresting because it discloses once more the nov
elst's ineradicable sympathy-so constantly en-
phasized IN her own bookS-for the moral issue
She says:
When I look back TO the books which most
strongly Influenced my own youth, / am aware or

most ardent and tenacious. which succeeded a

CaDtaiu Rrassey's statement at Catfed on
Monday, that within ten years the naval pri-
macy Of the world would pass from the United

for it who had looked into the latest edition of
his invaluable Naval Annual" Q4ondon: Simp-

progress for the last year, he plunply says:

statement. To-day. in first class battleships

It Is pointed out that Russia main

with the Cossask without a pledge of

The LOCAL oPTloN LAW

people win vote in June on the adop
ton or rejection of a new local op
tion law for dealing with the LIQUOR
traffic.
We say new local option law, be.
cause Oregon has now a pretty thor,
ough local option system. A majority
OF citizens must petition for a license
in any unincorporated community to
establish a saloon.
The new charter of Salem permits
no saloons in the suburban wards
Many cities a and do vote to issue
no licenses for saloons. We have now
a pretty stringent local option law.
Just in what respect the new local
option law would be better than the
present law many will not be able to
comprehend. The friends of the re-
form should explain this matter.
The new law that Is proposed would

PROGRESS IN THE SCHOOLS.

In making progress all along the
line 1t is natural that Salem should
not overlook her public schools.
The present system of choosing a
board of education is to elect one
member of the board each year to
serve five years.
or the present board three mem.
bers have gone on record as opposed
to teaching any grades in the public
school above the ninth grade.
When there are seventeen cities in
the state maintaining high schools of
twelve grades, and many smaller
towns carrying ten to twelve grades,
this action of the school board put
Salem down as non-progressive.
A progressive member of the Salem
school board then moved that the
question of having any grades above
the ninth grade be submitted to o
vote of the people at the election the
third Monday in June.
That carried, and so the people who
are allowed to vote will decide whe.h,
err Salem shall have as good public
schools as other Oregon towns. or
whether we shall stop at the mere
rudiments.

of the sale of liquors in the hands OF
physicians and druggists, in all com

Any physician may for some disease
prescribe intoxicants to any person,
and that person may buy on that pre-.

This monopoly is not founded on ne.

CLEAN H

There is urgent need at this time Of
the year to clean the streets and al
leys of this city. This has been re
ferred to before.
The street commissioner is to be as
sisted by an officer in each of the new
wards. But the citizens must take
hold Of the matter with both hands.
There is a habit that dates back to
the village days of throwing rubbish
on the streets, including old tin cans,
hedge trimmings and slops.
There is that habit of burning a
heap of rubbish in the middle of the
street, and leaving the heap of ashes
and charred remains to frighten
horses.
Throwing loose papers on the
street is now forbidden by ordinance,
and is the cause of many a runaway.
One of the first tasks of the street
department should be to rake the
loose rock, pieces of boards, fuel, and
other obstacles from the main tray,
eled streets.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The first bill prepared under the III
rect legislation system is for tn,
adoption of the direct nominating sys
tenn of selecting candidates.
Two years ago a Direct Nomination
League was organized in Marion
county, and a bill was drafted and in
troduced by Senator Croisan, but wa.
lost.
The bill was never reported from
the elections committee of the sen.
ate, but had to be dragged out by
main strength, and then had to be
killed.
The new bill will probably be
adopted by the direct vote of the peo.
pie, unless there is a campaign made
against 1t.
This new bill is sound in principle.
but Will raise HI for awhile after T.
is adopted, until the people get ac.
customed to It's provisions.
1t is too sweeping in its provisions
in a%bolishing county and state and
district conventions. 1t may be
Knocked out in the courts.
But on a direct vote of the paople
The Journal advises the friends of
direct nomination to vote for it and
establish the principle.
The bill can be amended in the leg.
islature. The details can be perfect
ed afterwards, and we trust that good
will come Of it.
A proper direct nomination bill
should introduce this system step by
step, and not undertake to wine ont
existing systems of nominating candi,
dates.
So we advise voters to support the
measure In the hope that good will
come of 1t, and we believe in the end
good will come of the bin.
But 1t will produce confusion. make
trouble, cause expense, impose on the
people the burden and expense of an.
other election.
Direct nomination can be secured at
the expense Of the asplrants. Elec.
lions already cost about $50. 900.
But in spite OF this we think so
much of the principle involved in this
bill that We advise people to vote for
the direct nomination law.

nor unreasonable for a corporation

Think of the homes now without the
