IMPORTATION or LUxURIEs.

u Is reported that more than
siOo,0oo,OOO worth OF luxurles were
sent to the United States during the
hseal year ending June 80. 1906.
The bureau OF statistics OF the de-
partment OF commerce and labor is
authority for the above statement.
These luxuries were principally
divided into the following articles
with their values attached and a
comparison made with ten years ago:
The Importation OF diamonds alone
exceeded s4s.O00.O0O. while ten
years ago they did not reach $4,000. !.
OOO.
Embroiderles, edgings aud cotton
laees reached sSi.O0O.OOO. while ten
years ago the Importation fen below
sii,OO0.0OO.
The importation OF tobacco and
cigars exceeded ss6,0OO.OOo, while
they reached but slS.7OO.oOO In
1896.
IL Is worthy OF note that Americans
senerally believe that the finest to.
baeoo is raised IN America. or IN the
Islands thereof. from which the best
cigars are made. Hence importa-
tion Of tobacco in any form ought
not 10 occur.
The importation OF champagne
went above $4,000. 900 at the end OF
the last fiscal year. as against a little

arrived here today and tomorrow will
perfect an agreement with the gov
ernment concerning the carrying out
of his project for the excavation of
the ancient city of Herculaneum.
Professor Waldstein's plans have
been accepted by the government on
condition that the part of represen-
tative of the foreign countries in the
work be only in the form of private
contributions, and that there be no
foreign official interference. Prof.
Waldstein has secured the active CO.
operation of King Victor Emanuel as
president of his organization, as well
as that of Emperor William of Ger
many, King Edward and President
Roosevelt. The excavation will be a
gigantic enterprise. The work of
digging up the ancient city was be-
gun in the reign of King Charles III,
in 1888, and was continued under the
direction of the italian government
in 1866. This excavation has al
ways been attended with the greatest
difficulty, as over the ruins of the
ancient city there stands today the

VISIT THE SCHOOL.

That our public school is not visit
ed as often as 1t should be during
school hours by the patrons of the
school is quite evident. II wouldn't be
far, If any, out of the way to assume
that not one patron in twenty has
ever visited the Salem schools dur
ing school hours. And this neglect
is not confined to this city. 1T IS
TRUE OF MOST OF THE SCHOOLS
OF THE COUNTY.
It is one of the misfortunes of the
public schools that parents turn them
over to the teachers. foot the bills
when they come in and consider they
have done their whole duty as trustee
of a great trust. They turn their
whole attention to their personal
business, TO their merchandise, their
offices, cattle and horses, and pre-
sumo the children are receiving
proper attention WITHOUT ANY
PERSONAL SUPERVISION.
Il would help both the teachers
and the pupils II parents would visit
the school oftener. Would encourage
them, and would give the parents a
better idea of what is being done
and would insure better results all
around.

HELP THE HOME INDUSTRIES

IL Is the little home industries that
develop into the larger industries
and help build up a town.
The cannery and the paint factory
are illustrations OF what can be done
by COOPERATION OF PUBLIC
SPIRITED MEN.
Those who stock in those invest
ments are going TO reap a reward for
their investment, and have done
something for the town.
The box factory in South Salem,
which was organized by Salem capi-
tai, Is an illustration of home capi-
tai employing labor.
Messrs. Mason and Snyder are
building up business there to
which there is PRACTICALLY NO
LIMIT OF EXTENSION.
Public-spirited Salem citizens who
are stockholders are the real build
ers of the city. and on whom rest the
hopes of labor.
A million dollars OF idle capital ly-
ing in bank Is bulwark OF securi-
ty TO the depositors. and helps sus-
tain business.
But It is the dollar that is active
ly employed In business. and that
gives employment to labor. THAT
BLESsEs MANKIND MOST.
Let us unite In the support OF the
home industries, sustain the Salem

LOVE is
ONLY A
DELUSI0N
Chicago Savant Would Have
Marriage haSed on Fine
Points

"If the people of America would
prevent the coming generations from
inhabiting madhouses they should
abolish indiscriminate marriages.
forget that hallucination called love
and choose their life partners on the
same principle that a successful cat
tleman chooses his stock"
In the above sentence DR.. julius
Grinker, professor of nerves and
mental diseases at the Chicago Post
graduate Medical school, voices a
warning to the American public OF
the great dangers which may con-
front in the near future. He spoke
to the Chicago Medical society on
American Nervousness; It's Cause
and Cure"
DR.. Grinker eliminated all scientific
terms from his lecture and told the
audience in plain words of the ner-
vous diseases which were slowly but
surely eating their way into the lives
of the people of this country. Con-
siderable stress was laid on the sub
ject of marriage and heredity and
the great evils which result from
bad marriages we're shown.
"Nerves" Are Inherited.
Like begets like" he said. "and
the nervous system bows to the law
of all life-the law of heredity; the
law that governs your life and mine.
II we are bundles of unstable nerves
and abnormal susceptlbilities, It is
but little trouble to trace the cause
back to our forefathers.
"The youth of today should be
educated and compelled to choose
his mate in the way that fine horses
and cattle are hosen. When a man
comes to marrying he should choose
his wife in the same way that she
chooses new dress.
Love is a wonderful thing; 1t is
a hallucination, an allusion, provided
by nature to cause men and women
to mate, and to procreate species.
But love should be thrust in the
background and relegated TO the
scrap-heap Of wornout adages IL the
health and security of posterlty is to
be taken into consideration.
do not have your children affect
ed with the evils that have been
visited upon you. Stop falling in
love with pretty face, and get a
wife who is healthy and will rear
strong and wholesome children.
Records OF Ancestors.
IF there could be law passed in
this country by which men and
women would be compelled to under
go physical examinations and have
the records of their ancestors inves-
tigated before a marriage would be
II would be the best thing
that could possibly happen. II 1t
were possible that this law could be
passed hundreds of diseases, all
ments and Ills would be eradicated
from the human race"
DR., Grinker spoke OF the prevail
ing causes of nervousness, and told
of the numerous little things by
which the neurasthenie could be
easily distinguished. America, he
said. had more nervous people than
any other country in the world, al
most every family in the United
States being afflicted with some form
or other of nervousness Among the
most nervous class. he said women
you see thousands and thousands
Of nervous women ON the streets
every day" he said. "and about 90
out of 100 should be in a sanitarium.
The shopping habit is one OF the
great causes"
The bringing up of children. ne
said. was the most important and
the most ignored phase OF the situa-
tion.
