SUGAR CATCHES MORE FLIES
THAN VINEGAR.

The Capital Journal does not
pose as a thick and thin party or
gan. It believes in supporting good
men In the Republican party.
But II is capable after thirty
years practical experience in news
paper work OF GIVING A LITTLE
GOOD ODVICE AT TIMES.
II would like to suggest to some
of the alleged leaders of the Republi-
can party that the above headline Is
pregnant with truth.
II does ont make a man any great
er as a statesman to revile another
as being A POPULIST, A BRYAN
TIE. A UOP-EARED RENEGADE.
Political virtues are all relative
and there are some very good men
and women in the world outside OF
the Republican party.
This seems scarcely possible to
some persons But 1T NEVERTHE-
LESS Is A FACT.
The man who imaglnes that be-
cause he Is or has been, or calls
himself a Republican that therefore
he Is made OF a little better clay
that the fellow who does not cali
himself much OF anything, Is SOL-
ENINLY FOOLISH AND IMAGIN-
ETH a VAIN THING.
SO calling you fellow citizen
names. and mixing him with the po-
litical billygoats and other animals
with cloven feet does not help you
any.
The Capital Journal has during
the past campaign used the term
machine" pretty freely. II has Of
Tended some gentlemen. 1T is A
BROAD AND SWEEPING TERM.
AND NOT IN ITSELF CALUMNY.
In fact 10 belong 20 a good ma
chine Is something 20 be rather
proud OF I'm n political way.
The Capital JoIrnal hopes TO live
TO see the day when Salem Repub-
lican leader will rise TO state pro-
portions. will get n state office at
the hands OF the people.
Marion county has not had one
since Lord and Geer were GOVERNOR.
THEY WERE UNABLE TO HANG
ON MORE THAN ONE TERM EACH.
But their short terms OF service
was due 10 the machine being strong
er than the administration.
So we advise the aspiring leaders
10 he more kind and gentle, TO be
confederate and courteous, 20 keep In
close touch with the people, and not
naddie TOO MUCH AGAINST THE
TIDES OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Express good will toward Others
gentlemen. DO not throw out so
much gall and vinegar. DO not lie
I'm wait on the street corners and re-
peat mean things you hear about
the other fellow.
Cut the habit of writing anony-
nous letters 20 the newspapers
signed "Taxpayer, "O'd Republi-
can" and whatnot. THAT KIND OF
CAMPAIGNING CUTS No ICE ANY
MORE. II is childish. II Is evidence
OF a small mind and smaller ambt-
tion. Use the milk of human kind
ness more and bedbug poison less
