EASY AS ROLLING OFF A LOG.

The Republican leaders of Oregon few years ago
Joined hands with the bosses of the deunC Popust party and
initiated Direct Primary Law and it was enacted by the
people
The editor of the Machine organ at Portland himself
headed the demand for direct primary law Chairman OF
the Direct Primary Executive Committee.

EXTEND THE CARLINE SOUTH.

The past year all kinds of efforts we're made to get the
canne extended to the south of the cemetery,
Now the Capital Journal will try it.
This IS perfectly legitimate demand to make on the To-
cal street car company
Every suburb in Portland is doing and many extensions
are being made
The argument of Mr. Page that it takes his cars out
side OF the city limits is not good one. ,
The suburbs of Salem have extended halt mile beyond
the caHine south,
AGAR went out the other night with thirty passengers and
twenty walked on beyond where the car stops,
More people now live beyond the end OF the line than Tor
mery patronized the South Salem line,
On top OF this the Caine owners owe It TO the CITY OF
Salem to do something to help the growth Of the city.
he cars should run at least TO the fork OF the Jefferson
and Liberty road,
That extension of service would require no more, men
and no more cars than at present
While the car STANDS waiting at that SpooY old cemc-
terry could be run out to the Forks and back and let the mo-
ioman enjoy the scenery,
The Capital Journal will not 90 before the Railroad Com
mission
II will use plain common sense argument.
Ii believes il is better for corporation TO employ the
people be pleased plan than to always use 1.-The people be
d--d' plan,
There IS a long rainy season ahead and there is no
sense in making those people walk when the car is standing
there killing time
Besides il will convert all that property out there into
residences.
This is plain way to put it but no really good reason
has ever been given why the car service cannot be extended
to the Jefferson road
There Is not good business man in Salem who would
not in his own interest extend that service,

ADVOCATING ANOTHER BOARD.

There is quite craze for creating state board Of Par
don8, o.o,
What is the use of going all over that matter agan?
1t is simply the craze to shift responsibility and create
new boards commissions and Offices
new pardonng board would have nothing to do but try
all cases over again.
In fact would be holding out standing nducement for
every convicted man TO commence proceedings to get re-
leased
The Board would be kind Of body Of charatieS and
there would be immediate demand fof representatives OF
the different churches to constitute the board OF PadonS
Then there would be Iogrong and combining TO tavor
this man and that man.
Let the Governor of the state have the paronng power
Alone and back him up with the law that # death penalty
is commuted shall mean life Imprisonment at hard labor
and no more pard0nS
No more boards and commissions should be imposed on
the long suffering people of Oregon,

ing to his Stawa defense of the principles enacted by the
People, the law triumped.
In the next campaign the Machine backed Senator Full
ton who was under crItcSmot the Roosevelt admlnStra-
ton
Fulton failed to get the Republican nomination, the ma
chine and its organs and leaders supported Chamberlain,
Democrat, at the polls.
But Republican legislature nominated and elected un-
der the same Direct Primary law stood up for the principles
enacted by the People and Obyed the mandate of the eecto
rate
People the nomination and election Of U Senators but they
didn't mean it.
When they put into Republican platforms the demand
tor Direct Primary Law orirect election OF senators they
didn't mean it.
When they 8oemny put into the Preamble of the Direct
Primary Law that hereafter all nominating conventions
should be abolished they didn't mean it.
They put it to fool the people and still have their own
They now propose two things for the good of the people
of 0regoni
l. To restore the old convention system of nominating
candidates.
D. To abolish direct election of United States Senator'S
When they said the people Wefe farer and more neI-
gent than delegate convention they didn't mean it.
When they said the people could nominate and elect
United States Senators they didn't mean it.
The organ of the Machine and Corporations still says
there is objection to the Direct Primary Law but your
vote mustn't count
You may nominate and even elect some man United
States Senator but it muSn'tCount
Members OF the Legislature must not be permitted TO
sign Statement No. One because renders them immune to
the approach of Lord Mazuma and his jackpot
Two senators have been elected at Salem in fifteen min
ueS and there was no way for the bosses to get back any
money invested
For Gods sake give us back the good old way and save
the party from going to pieces.
What business have the Changers and CIodhopperS g-
norant in the mysteries Of hgh Finance and Corporation poll
tics to butt in anywhere!
The Machine and Corporation system of doing politics
at public expense and getting its money back out of the game
has got to be restored.
The political ariStocracy has suffered deathbow in
Oregon and wants to get back to ancient privileges,
It's all right for other states to nominate and elect SEN
aors by the desired vote Of the people but Oregon must
be made crime and high treason to the Republican party
The People Of Oregon are too ignorant to be able to Sc
eCt their own public servants
All the Republican machine grants the powers which
under Republican, form Of government by right always be-
competent to exercise this power without our guidance
and direction by means of assemblies now more boldly call
ed conventions.
After you have once given the people political powers
which they have always felt they wanted and needed to
make representative government truly representative
easy as log to resolve that you will take it away from
them,

Two Cent Fare Law
 Declared Unconstitutional

Philadelphia, June 26.-The two-cent fare law passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1907, received another blow yesterday. when Judge Wilson. in Common Pleas Court here, declared the law unconstitutional. The decision was in the case of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company to restrain the County of Philadelphia from en- forcing the law. The local courts ren- dered a similar decision about a year ago in a suit brought by the Pennsyl- vania Railroad against the county.
 Judge Wilson holds that the law is contrary to the Constitution of the United States, and the county is per- petually enjoined from enforcing the act against the Reading Company.

 Hospitals of an earlier day, like pris- ons and other institutions in which people were crowded without proper safeguards, sometimes became centers of infection. Skilled medical attend ance was provided. but good nursing, isolation rooms, and sanitary cleanli- ness were wanting. Then Florence Nightingale announced the clarifying doctrines that hospitals, whatever else they do, should not make people sick. From this negative but fruitful ax- tom, there came as logical corollaries the essential conditions of a good hos pitaL The princnple which redeemed application to other institutions.
 The most obvious analogy to the principle that hospitals should not make people sick, is that prisons shouldn dence of the need for applying this negative but .elementery doctrine. Prisons and Jails which receive con- victs for brief, definite sentences, per hitting association of young offenders with hardened criminals, giving no re- formative or educational discipline, earn the reproach of the insanitary hospital. They pervert the very prin- cfple of their existence They spread the infection of crime, even as the per verted hospital spreads the infection of disease. The reformatory has its legitimate and necessary place. in the penal system So has the colony in which. as in a hospital for the insane, incorrigible enemies of society may be permanently isolated. But the prison which represents merely the idea of vengeance and punishment is hard put to it to justify it's existence at all- And when it makes criminals of it's inmates the balance against it be- comes grievouSly heavy.
 The police system should not create hostility towards the representatives which on the assassination of a police officer brings into court innocent and law abiding 1aborers, Is calculated to produce just such an enect. Needless clubbing and other brutality have this effect. This attitude of hostility is natural for the small merchant, who is not protected against criminal blackmail, and for the Italian labor er who, in despair of such police pro- lection as he has enjoyed in his own revolver, only to find that this is more certain to be punished than the "blackhand' outrage against which it was intended to be a protection. Un- justified arrest, third degree torture, protection of criminals for pay, and other perversions of the police power, are on par with the crifne-making prison. and the fnsanitary, disease DIccaA1Et 1OSgiLdL.
 Charity should not make paupers. Here again we have an application of our general principle that should prove very useful in testing the value of the work of charitable societies, and the wisdom of the practices and policies of individuals who think themselves charitable. Strength and not comfort is the end which we should rank high est among the good things which we covet for those who look to us for help. Charity is to relieve distress, as the police system is to prevent crime, but

He re- jects entirely the long accepted theor- ies of Laplace and Sir George Darwin ascribing earthly origin to the moon, and asserts that his discovery is sup ported by rigorous mathematical proof based on the methods of Hill, Poincare, and Darwin.
