NEW WEAPONS OF WAR.-A Chinese
inventor has recently perfected a
weapon which the mandarins at Pekin
think will cause terror in the hearts of
invaders, and an order has been issued
for the manufacture of a large sup
ply, to be distributed throughout the
army. According to a description
that appears in the Chinese papers
this terrible weapon Is combination
Of spear and shovel.
At one end of a pole there Is a
large sharp pike, such as knights of
medieval times used to carry. At the
other end there Is a shovel, or spade,
with a blade about eight inches wide,
which can be used both as an In
trenching tool and as a weapon.
1t is especially handy in beheading
prisoners, and all the Chinese soldier
has to do Is to stick the pike at one
end Of his pole through the body OF
his enemy and then turn around and
cut off the head with his shovel. In
stead of sending the inventor OF this
terrible weapon to The Hague to rep
resent China at the peace conference
the empress dowager rewarded him
with a button Of the second class
Exchange.

WHY JAPAN SUccEEDs.-Admiral
Bob" Evans in a recent conversation
with a group of officers, threw a great
white light upon one Of the methods
at least by which the Japanese have
attained the splendid adaptability to
European and American ways, says
the New York Times.
when I commanded the New York
some years ago." he said, II had Jap
servant with whom I was especially
we'll pleased. He was prompt, re-
markably quick to learn, and took
such a deep interest in everything
that sometimes just to amuse myself,
I devoted not little attention to ex-
planning things that he appeared not
to understand. A good waiter, too, he
was. Well, finally he disappeared.
Sometime later, when on the Euro
pean station, made a call on Jap
batueship lying In the harbor Of Ver-
sailles. The captain met us at the
gangway and escorted US to his cabin.
AS we were seated he suddenly turn
ed, threw off his hat, and whipped a
napkin over his arm.

I.et the Bows Learn 70 Swim.

There are complaints, and some ar
rests have been made because of the
misconduct Of some boys who go swim
ming at the mill pond on East State
street.
Boys who are rude, ungentlemanly
and vicious in their conduct are not
very numerous, and IL there be any
such, all the rest should not be de
prived Of tho pleasure of swimming.
The parents, the schools and other
causes, but principally the lack Of op-
pOrtunity to learn better manners, are
all TO blame for the vicious, profane or
wayward boy-not the swimming hole.
The pleasure of swimming in the
creek or river is great one. 1t is
grand exercise aud great sport and
boys love il above all else in sumVer
time, and so do girls if they could be
permitted to indulge.
We must confess TO sympathy with
the boys and girls in their love Of
sport, aud can SEQ nothing wrong in
the manifestation of life that seeks in
nOcent pleasure and amusement in
bathing.
With our cool summers there are not
many months whom swimming is really
delightful There is naturally but a
short swimming season. This is one
reason why so few boys and girls learn
to swim.
1t is one reason for so many unfortu-
nate deaths by drowning. All should
be done TO encourage young people in
learning TO swim and dive Diving is
Just as necessary as swimming In case
Of accident
We hope that sOme regulation can
be made Of the swimming on East

What Ails the schools7

Reports show falling Off in the
school statistics in some Of the coun
ties OF the state.
What ails the schools, is the question
that ought 10 be answered by some one
in authority
More laws and more regulations are
at once suggested. But do we need
them 20 get better resultsf
Whit about the men behind the
gunsf What about tho state and coun-
ty superintendents Of schoolsf
Is there nothing that can be done 10
get Improvement there or are they
perfect and beyond progressi
OF course, The Capital Journal does
not wish TO ask any embarrassing
questions or invade tho sacred pre-
cincts Of any profession.
But wo want the people to think
about theso things, instead Of blaming
all tho defects Of the schools on tho
teachers.
Tho schools will be about what those
high officials in the state and county
mako Of them Better men, better
schools
Now don't squirm and got mad, but
let us all think about these things,
and all pull for better public schools
There is method and activity that
wasteth, and there IL saving and eau
tion and conservatism that is not econ
omy 10 tho state.

State street, so that this pleasure may
not be intercepted. With proper bath
ing suits girls, as well as boys, could
60 in.
There should be no more restriction
about girls swimming in our fresh
water streams than boys, and no more
nor less required Of them in the way
of bathing suits than is required at the
beaches.
1t is pity that this delightful exer-
else should not be extended, rather
than restricted. 1t is to be hoped that
our city will have public baths some
time, and that all young people will
learn 10 swim and dive.
Morality and good health require
that fear Of contact with the elements
be destroyed. The whole world was
made to live in, and IL we lived in it,
and trusted it more, we would all be
better for the experience.

Rnstore Miss Myers.

The Salem board of education owes
10 20 this community TO restore Miss
Maud Myers to her position in the pub
lie schools
IL Is now generally admitted, even
by those members Of the board who
were responsible, that removing three
teachers from the Lincoln school was
a mistake.
Two Of those teachers have been re-
stored, aud it would be a simple act of
justice to DO the same for Miss Myers,
unless some one will state a good and
sufficient reason 10 the contrary.
The principle is enacted into law
that a teacher who is doing good and
satisfactory work cannot be thrown
out of school without being given
some opportunity to know the cause.
For number of years very few
changes were made in the teaching
force OF tho Salem schools. All who
did reasonably we'll were continued,
and that system is most satisfactory to
che community.
A city as large as Salem cannot be
well served II teachers are TO be sub
ieet 10 summary and arbitrary remov'
al II the city superintendent or prin-
ciple have no complaint to make.

direct Nomination Means Something.

OarecG HomAnaClOn means Something
The direct nomination system cannot
do much worse than the political man.
ayers have been doing in the past. The
average man who gets direct nomi.
station must mean something to the peo-
pie.
The eat-in-the-bag aspirant for Of
flee, who wants place and power sim
ply 10 boost his own business, or get
hold of appointments for the rakeoff
there is in them may still ply his trade.
But there will bo aspirants for each
nomination, who wiH take the people
at least partially into his confidence.
The close -muzzled dummy stool-pigeon
candidate win not be so numerous.
Direct nomination will bring men to
the front who will want to deal direct
Iy with the good people, and be re-
sponSible to Them. In the past candi-
dates had to make good to the boss
alone.
State officials nominated under the
direct primary will have to answer
questions before nomination and after
wards. What do you propose to do af-
Ter you are in Office, gentlemen.
Merely getting nomination and
trusting TO the party strength to pull
you through will not answer, gentle
men. You must have program TO
propose, and to follow after you are
In Office.
The people will not stand for any
higher state taxes. They will not stand
for as much as they have been standing
for. They will not stand to have all
tax bills killed by the corporation
agents in the legislature.

Reciprocity Versus Revision.

| AoCApEOClJy NelbuB heVlblOu.
If lewiston Of the tariff is going tc
disturb American industries we want
plenty as little of 1t as possible, and
not very SOON,
Candidates for congress in Western
Oregon have been asked to give their
views on revision, but are slow in Civ.
ing expression,
Oregon has had such prosperity un-
der protection that it is doubtful If
any of these candidates can be got to
even mention it.
Marion county has several Republi-
can aspirants TO become representative
in congress, but they are probably not
tariff revisionists.
As The Capital journal has pointed
out, the Pacific coast is interested in
expansion Of commerce along the lines
Of reciprocal agreements with Asiatic
and Oriental countries.
The Atlantic coast enjoys such ad.
vantages, and there is not good rea-
son why our trade cannot be extended
on the same lines with the Philippines,
with China and with Japan.
The establishment Of fairer trade re-
lations with foreign nations is mat
ter that affects directly the prosperity
Of every farmer, stock grower and OK,
porter in the United States. One by one
the European governments are tighten
ing the coils intended to strangle the
American export trade in agricultural
products and manufactured goods. We
are today face TO face with new and
prohibitive German tariff, designed to
keep out every pound Of American
breadstuffs and provisions. Retalia-
tion has been tried at immense cost to
our producers and manufacturers, and
is n failure.
Standing on the broad platform enun-
ciated by President Mckinley in his
last speech at Buffalo, We urge the wis
dom Of substantiating in our foreign
relations tho principle Of reciprocity
for that of exclusion and retaliation.
We care not whether the future of our
foreign trade be safe-guarded by means
Of direct reciprocity treaties or under
the provisions of fairly drawn maxi.
mum and minimum tariff law under the
terms Of which tho government could
directly negotiate advantageous inter
national agreements; but the situation
demands the establishment at once in
some form Of the underlying principle
Of conceding something TO such ma.
tions as will concede valuable trading
rights to ourselves. There is TO be a
conference in Chicago TO properly pre-
sent views upon this great commercial
problem-possibly the most important
single issue before the American peo-
pie at the present time. The time has
come when the matter Of obtaining
markets for the surplus pro
lucts Of our farms and factories and
IF guaranteeing the markets that we al
ready enjoy must receive serious con-
iideration.

restoration Of Miss Myers to her posi-.
tion. IL is the principle that should

heavier than last year, although in
some few localities it is not so good as
expected. PaSturago is getting short,
and consequently the milk supply in
the dairy districts is decreasing.
The harvest Of barley and fall rye
has begun, and fall wheat cutting
will become general next week. Fall
wheat is maturing nicely, but it has
been little too warm for spring
wheat, especially the late sown. Oats
show considerable Improvement. Corn
and gardens have made good advance
ment. Hop lice are still plentiful in
many yards, and considerable spraying
has been done during the week. The
grain aphis is disappearing, and re-
ports as to the amount of damage
caused by this pest are conflicting.
Apples, pears, peaches and prunes,

Labor Troubles In Chicago.

CHICAGO, April Two hundred
teamsters employed by the mail firm
Of Montgomery, Ward 4 Co., struck
today In sympathy with the garment
workers, who have been on q strike
for the past four months. In the be.
lief of many labor leaders today's
strike is the beginning of q great con.
test that may involve 10000 drivers.
The move against Montgomery,
Ward 4 Co., is an opening wedge by
which the teamsters hope to bring
success to the garment workers in an
effort to establish q closed shop. In.
dications are that the strike will not
stop, but will involve many other
branches of the teaming industry.
Pickets surrounded the building Of
Montgomery, Ward 4 Co. today and
drivers with consignments of goods
of that firm were stopped and turned
back. Drivers of express wagons and
drivers Of other union, also ~ere
ordered by the labor officials not fo
unload packages at the company's
freight platform.
