Protecting Omcinls First.

Ed. Journal: regret business
affairs have taken so much of your
time that you are not giving US two
or three columns day of the old
ringing editorials. am sure you
were right in your protests at the
officialsm being the ruling power of
the state, and am sorry Governor
West saw fit to cut out the pavilion
at the state fair grounds, and let lot
OF the bills raising salaries stand.
The one county Official who should
have had his salary raised was not
given any ncrease-County Clerk
Allen. The bill to create another as
sistant attorney general should have
been vetoed, and the $3.50, 900 for an
other building for state officials at
the capitol had no merit, in my opin-
ion, When there are 10000 people
on the steI fair grounds and show
er comes up they can hustle into the
cattle barns, and take chances of the
present shack blowing down on
them. BY your efforts, as president
of the German Society, you had
enough German-Americans in Salem
last year to fll all the buildings out
there to overlooking. That was on
the second day of the fair. But both
you and the governor are entitled to
credit. for holding down the otlcipl
demands some, The bill to raise all
the circuit judges to $4,000 year had
no merit, They ought to get $4,000
each and legitimate travel expenses.
That would be fair to all of them, as
their opinions have about the same
value, Let us get rid OF the hum
bug of officials deserving high pay,
The legislators get SO day, and
most OF them are not worth that. |
rather admire Senator Patton for not
introducing any bills, He was asked
to introduce the West Salem bridge
franchise, and did 1t. He committed
no offenses on his own motion. Sena-
tor Carson did only what he was
asked to do, Next time they will do
even better. doubt IL there IS an
oftieial In the employ Of the state who
would not bio glad to hold his job for
$4,000 or $4,000 year, and then live
better than the average business man
or professional man.

Avoid the Cheap and "sis Can" Rak
ing Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty of powder for his money
but it's not all baking powder; the bulk
is made up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are
SO carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they will not make light, whole
some food. Further. these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage OF
leavening gas; therefore it takes from two
to three times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer Of the
cheap powders is more than Calumet
would be.
Why not buy a perfectly wholesome bak-
ing powder like Calumet, that is at the
same time moderate in price and one
which can be relied upon. Calumet gives
the cook the least trouble.
