Secretary Kyle is getting some nice
orders for strawberries to be shipped
to all parts of the country at $1.25 a
crate net for the best fruit, and the
demand is increasing.
A number of crates will be shipped
today and tomorrow to points in Cal
ifornia. Salem people would help
this industry materially by sending a
case to some friends at distant
point.
Berries for shipment have to be
picked a day or so before they are
ripe, and for long distance shipments
orders should be placed day or two
in advance with the secretary of the
Fruit Growers Union, at his office, at
the head of Commercial street.

AN AFFIRMATIVE PROGRAM.

The people of Salem. and of every
community, should adopt and favor
affirmative propositions that build
up the community.
Salem has made some great steps
In the right direction in the past few
years, and should make many more.
The new charter has been estab,
lished and tends to increase the pres
tige, the influence and the prosperity
OF the city and suburbs.
A census of Greater Salem has been
taken, and 1t has been officially deter
mined that this city has 13,2s7 pop
ulation.
An elastic city government has
been established that meets the
wants OF the new wards. and yet with,
out burdensome taxation.
Now let the city go forward on 9th
er new lines, and there will be a great
development of public spirit and en-.
terprise in all directions.
Let there be all the street improve
ments possible, No man should say
because am not mayor or alderman
am opposed to public improvements
Let us uphold the mayor and coun
ell In all that they undertake. The
city government after all is just what
the people make of It,
Uphold the movement for higher
grades In the public schools. That
means to advertise this city in the
right direction.

The hay crop is going to be a very

UPBUILp SALEM EDUCATION.
AlIX

All the friends of education should
rally to the movement to put the Sa.
lem public schools on par with the
best in the state.
Our university and colleges and
academies would all be helped by
adding to the reputation of our pub.
lie school system.
With the reputation of having the
best public schools In the state-ev.
cry person who went out of Salem to
teach school would be in better de.
mand, and get better salary.
With the best public schools in the
state the attendance at every private
educational institution in Salem would
be larger.
With about one-fourth of the school
children in private schools there is
not reason that can be offered why
Salem taxpayers should not maintain
the best public schools in the state.
The district has a financial sur.
plus of about $4,000 per annum, and
the taxpayers have wisely refused at
several meetings to reduce the levy,
and there is not dollar of debt.
This is the time TO go forward on a
business ba1is, and put Salem to the
front, educatlonally, as well as NOR
ally and indhstrially.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

The movement to enforce a stricter
keeping of the Sabbath day has many
supporters at Salem outside of the
churches.
Keeping Sunday as a day of rest
As now enjoined by the laws of the
state and it is proposed to enforce
that law.
Just what this program will include
is hard to say, and there is general
disagreement as to how far it should
go.
What is necessary work and neces
sary business to be transacted on sun
day has never yet been defined, and
probably never will be.
The tendency of the whole country
has been toward greater freedom on
the Sabbath day, larger use of the
day by everybody.
Whether the cigar stores, confec
tionery stores, news stands and places
of amusement can be closed on Sun
day is not yet certain.
That puritanical enforcement and
restrictions are contrary to the spirit
of the age no one can doubt, who is at
all informed.
All good citizens favor a quiet and
orderly Sabbath day, and all do not
agree that it will be secured by too
rigid enforcement of the Sunday laws.
