he'll be blowed if he can see why

one. But when he is merely after
something, and does not care how he
gets it, 80 long as he lands his plum,
the Independent plays a losing game,
and the people Of Salem should not be
foolish enough to elect a masked set
of officers to administer the government
of the city for the next two years. 1t
would be a step to the rear, and not in
keeping with the progress of the times.
The Capital City of Oregon should
have the complete set of city officers,
as named by the regular Republican
direct primaries. They stand for the
Republican administration of the city
as conducted by the Waters administra-
tion the past year-a progressive bust
ness administration-keeping the city
within its revenues, yet making all inn
provements and progress possible.
The people should not be deceived
by the program of the "Independent" "
candidates. They are not on a platform
as were the citizens candidates. No
large body of business men vouehes
for their program in public affairs.
They have not drawn up a definite pro-
gram for reforms to which they will ad-
here if elected.
The people should never forget that
the Republican city government does
stand for definite ideas Of administra-
tion, for street improvements, for bet
ter parks, for a better lighted and a
cleaner city, from sanitary stand
point.
These are the issues, and there is not
a man on the Republican city ticket
but stands squarely on this program,
and is worthy of the vote Of every pro-
gressive citizen. There are no personal
tiles in this campaign, unless the oppo-
5ition, whatever it may be, injects
Them, and in that kind of campaigning
the Republican candidates have nothing
10 fear.

TO BUILp MORE SHIPS.

An extraordinary call has been made
upon Lewis Nixon, the American ship
constructor, and at one time leader of
Tammany hall, to undertake the gigan-
tic task of supervising the construction
Of 100 warships of all classes for
the Russian government. 1t is reported
from Washington that Mr.. Nixon will
leave for Russia about February ], and
will be expected to accomplish the con-
struction of large feet, consisting of
battleships, armored cruisers, gunboats,
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers, within two years.
If the report be true that the Russian
government has secured the services of
Lewis Nixon for such a purpose, it is
both high compliment to him and
signal acknowledgment of American
ability in naval construction. The
statement in the dispatch that battle
ships and armored cruisers are to be
constructed ON the Black sea under Mr..
Nixon s supervision is hardly credible,
however. 1t might be possible to build
torpedo or submarine boats on the
Black sea and take them overland to
Vladivostok. But under existing trea
ties warships cannot pass the Oar
danelles, and Russia must not build
any battleships or large vessels intend
ed for sse in the orient on the Baltic.
IL Russia contemplates the construction
within two years of 100 additional war
vessels it is evident that she is deter
mined to prolong the war to the bit
ter end.

Religious union is in the air, and
Christian unity is on the way, but con-
solidation will never come excepting
among religious denominations that
have advanced toward central truth so
far that forms of baptism, methods of
communion, systems of church govern
ment and the authority heretofore del
egated to consecrated persons shall be
classed among the non-essentials of re-
ligion. We are glad to see that the
Churchman is approaching this point
of view in recent editorial. AS, for
instance, when it said that converting
congregations to the prayer book is
hardly more intelligent than convert
ing individuals to the professional
cross and the litany desk. The first
principle of a real program of religious
peace is the recognition of what the re-
ligious life of America is and has been,
with a generous recognition of the part
that each fraction of the church has
played in its development. THE
