HI BETTER HALF.

A subscriber writes the editor to
know II the latter really believes
that women are better than men"
Sure!
And the editor had supposed that
all rlght-thinking men would agree in
that belief.
True, there is a sort Of philosophy
which says that when a woman sinks
into the depth of crime she sinks
lower than a man can sink. It is
not true-only apparently. Woman
falls from a loftier height, that is all,
Go to the slums and find the lowest
woman creature. You need not
search long to find a man lower down.
IL Is also true that the lower school
of fiction was forever teaching the
doctrine that in every crime there
was "a oma at the bottom of it"
The newer school is beginning to see
the truer doctrine-that woman is at
the bottom OF nearly all the good
there Is In the world.
Woman Is the better half.

LEI US PUSH SALEM.

While there are two elections this
year, there Is nothing to prevent
pushing for the Improvement of Salem
in every direction.
Mayor Waters and his board of al
dermen are doing a number of things
10 better municipal conditions.
The streets are to be correctly
named and numbered, and blockaded
streets are to be opened.
A census of each of the seven
wards of the city is to be taken, and
the work will be done thoroughly on
a plan not costing the taxpayer a pen
ny.
The board of education are going to
be in a position to dispose of the two
old relies of school houses on Center
street, and put up a modern building
that will be a credit to the city.
The finances of the city and school
district and county are on a cash
basis and all have a cash surplus to
operate with.
Under such conditions no city in
the state has a brighter prospect and
the intelligence and enterprise of the
city is awakened to the favorable op
portunity for pushing Salem to the
front along lines safety and good bus
mess methods. VIII you push OF

The REGISTRATION LAW.

In Lane county in 1900 the num-
Der of voters registered was 5265; in
1902 there was 5O56 voters registered;
this year so far there are 1904.
The effect of the present registra-
ton law has been to constantly re-
duce the number of registered voters
and to increase the number that are
sworn in on election day on house
holders blanks.
This registration law is a curse in
stead of a benefit to popular elections
as it constantly increases the number
of resident non-voters. and the floating
