A Better Way

"A bettCr way
EDITOR COURIER notice you
propose to donate for the relief
of the flood sufferers one. fourth
of all your receipts on subscrip-
tions to your paper. This is not
only good but magnamimous on
your part. A very serious and
unusual condition confronts the
people of our county as the out.
growth of the recent unprec.
edented calamity with which
we have been visited, and un.
usual remedial methods are not
only in order, but are demanded
by the situation.
I suggest as q further means
of raising money for flood VIC
tins that the county treasurer be
selected as the custodian OF all
contributions and that the county
court be made the administrators
of the funds thus raised if these
several officials will agree to act,
and l do not think they will hest.
tate for q moment. Let solici.
tors be designated in the several
parts of the county and let them
turn in their collections weekly
to the treasurer, together with
the names and amounts con.
tributed and take duplicate re.
ceipte, one of which shall be filed
with the county clerk who shall
make stated reports to the coun.
ty court. Let one. half OF such
contributions constitute a fund
to be known as the flood sufferers
fund and be applied by the court
for the relief of the sufferers as
the testimony may indicate in
each individual case and let the
remaining one-half be turned
into the depleted bridge fund ol
the county, where it is at this
time 80 sadly needed, for the
benefit of all the people.
Let each member OF the coun-
ty court donate one.half OF hi
per diem while sitting in thi'
matter. am aware OF the ir
regularity. from q legal stand
point, of this plan, but as hsv'
stated, unusual conditions cal
for unusual methods. Besldes
our action will not be brough. il
question, but will be UNIVERSAL!
approved.
| herewith enclose S6, one
third of which you will apply OF
my subscription and the remain
ing two. thirds you will apply to
the benefit of the flood sufferer
in the manner above indicated
my plan can be put in operation
If said plan can not be made op
erative then apply on my sub
ec1iption and for the flood suffer
ers in the proportion of ST. for tn
sufferers for each dollar on sub
scription. l am q poor man, a
you know. or l would contribut
more largely. Besides, | hav
contributed to local relief fund
twice as much as my present en-
closure to you.
If my plan were inaugurated
much larger class could b
reached with better and MOI
general results; besides the ei
forts to restore our lost az
crippled bridges would be great
ay aided.
The people of our county al
big. hearted and generous an
those of them who have bee
more favored are ever ready
reepond to the sufferings of thot
who have been stricken wit
calamity.

planning on visiting the exposition"
at Toronto. The opening was made
notable by the presence of Lord
Beresford, the famous English naval
officer. The most prominent men in
Canada Were there. There was ma
tional tone 10 the opening ceremonies
and the exposition was nationalized
to very large extent by the in
voluntary attitude of appreciation of
the whole of eastern Canada and IL
large section of the vest. So far as
one may observe this simply results
from the fact that the exposition. So
called, Is. thu largest thing of itsnkind

isterial Association had detective
employed at $100 per month to re-
port all infractions of the moral
and criminal laws to them, and no
matter what 1t cost they would be
pressed to a finish. The county
court is up against a hard problem,
but they think it is the business of
the district attorney to handle all
such business and are going to dis
courage the revival of endless petty
cases being brought in the justice
courts. The taxpayers will have to
pay more for the moral purifcaton of
Salem than for good roads, while
many think matters are made worse
thereby, especially as to the women.
