LAucHABLE RAILWAY LOGIC

Are the Nebraska railways opposed the enforcement of the
maximum freight law because it would permit them charge
higher potatoes than they charging? Or be-

Salem School Notes.

The high school is running as
smoothly as can be expected under
somewhat unfavorable conditions. The
new building not being completed
makes it necessary to crowd the grades
in the East building while longer
The high school classes now occupy
two second-foor rooms, a small office
and one corner Of the East basement
for recitation rooms, and the hallway
on the second floor for a study room.
II is very inconvenient for the pupils
changing classes and more so for those
to study who live too far from school
to 20 home during vacant periods. It
is also hard for the teachers to pre-
serve good order. All are working dill
igentlv, however. aud the ineonven-
ience is going to hinder the progress
but little.
The number of students enrolled at
high school the first day was near 15O.
New students have been coming during
the last week and it is probable that
by the time we occupy our new build
ing we will reach the $50 mark.
The faculty Of the high school prom
ises to be very good They are taking
hold of the work vigorously and in a
manner that is agreeable to the pu'
pills.
Professor Powers is kept busy in his
Office forenoons receiving new pupils
and assigning them to their respective
rooms.
The senior class organized for its
final years work October 2. The old
corps Of officers was installed again,
namely: Henry Slater, president; Mar.
tha SCHNEIDER, secretary, and Mabel
De Long. treasurer. The juniors or
ganized the day following.
The freshmen and sophomores are
required to conform to the fixed course
Of study this year. II makes the ar.
rangement Of classes much easier.
The students are now getting the
first issue Of the school publication
out. They are going TO print te nissucs

Marlatt and discussed the plan Of or
gauizing a league of valley high
schools for the purpose Of regulating
athletics. Probably something will be
done in this line.

GOVERNMENTS ARE NOT NFAL,
LIBLE.

The Journal has stood up for the
principle that governments are not
iufallible.
All the departments Of the state or
the county or the city are not always
right;
The departments Of the national
government and tho president himself
may mako mistakes.
The governor Of a state, be he Re
publican or Democrat, is liable 10 com
nit errors Of judgment.
The courts themselves, whether a
justice Of the peace OF a federal court,
get all wrong sometimes.
The newspapers commit one error, Of
too much kneeling down 20 those in
authority
Such thing as differing from a
president or a governor, or a court, is
almost a crime in these days.
What becomes Of the right OF the
eitizon TO a fair trial il the press fears
government
A newspaper that is mere echo or
lickspittle Of the departments cannot
protect the citizen.
The newspaper that bows down to
become mere shadow Of the policy
OF tho government is an anomaly in a
free country.

that a mentally unbalanced humorist

are a most remarkable remedy
for the relief OF periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head

AS pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex-

to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as we'll as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.

MOVE THE STATE CAPITAL TO
PORTLAND.

PORTLAND.
That is now the cry. It was voiced
by the leading editorial in the Ore
eonian Monday, October 9.
As The Salem Journal foreeasted.
Portland having got big start with
state and national aid. and aid from
every town and county in Oregon. viii
now ask for all the state institutions
20 be located here.
Having allowed the camel 20 get his
head under the tent, the big double
bumped dromedary will crowd in his
entire body, II the people viii let him.
The situation is worth while to consider
seriously.
Having got a big start by the gen
orosity Of the people, by taking adj
vantage Of sentiment elinging about
the very history Of the state, the dog
fsh Of our municipalities shall pro-
ceed 70 swallow all the rest.
Listen to the highly selfish intellec-
tual outburst: "Portland is the most
central town in Oregon. the most con-
veniently reached" etc. Yes, it Isl
lust as central for Washington, Ida
ho and Montana as for Oregon.
"Convenience Of coming to and GO
ing from such center az Portland isl
matter that concerns the whole peo'
ple." Yes. IL would be just exactly
as convenient for the other states men
toned, including the people Of Nevada,
Arizona and New Mexico.
"Portland would be the best place
in the state for a Normal school, etc.
Yes. the State House and the Univer-
sity and the Normal schools WOULD
GO FAR TO PURIFY THE NORTH
END, AND THE CHINATOWN DIS
TRICT. AND SEVERAL OTHER OF
THE GAMBLING AND RED LIGHT
DISTRICTS OF THE METROPOLIS.
"The object would not be TO favor
Portland but the state at large"
After the farmers Of oregon have been
taxed 10 their utmost capacity, after
tho people have been worked 10 en-.
rich Portland until every community
in the state is practically imPover-
ished for the whole coming year, IL is
gracious as a pack Of wolves devour-
ing a snow bound. dehorned steer for
Portland 20 want all the state institu-
tions moved 10 that town.
In some respects Portland would have
an advantage II the Penitentiary
were moved there, the institution
could be started with more charter
members than from any city in the
Northwest.
THE SAME WAY WITH THE RE-
PORN SCHOOL AND THE INSANE
ASYLUM. when IL came 20 finding
quarters for pimps, gamblers and Sun
day lawbrcakers. there would have TO
bo several institutions added to the
states present equipment.
