ally stand for the future deyolopment
OF Salem and the welfare of its poon,c
The policy of The Capital journal is
Tor Salem first last and always. Moth
er The Capital Journal nor the own
ers Of The Capital journal have opv
axes to grind We are not PROMPTED
by any selfish motives. but lp,smucb
as we have come here to live. have ln-
vested money in this city, and exnect
to invest much more, the new owners
OF The Capital Journal wish 10 see lbe
city Of Salem advance and progress
and ii The Capital journal can I'm apy
way assist in the advancement of the
iocality-that is what The Capitol
journal is here TO do.
A few weeks ago, having the best
interests Of this city at heart the new
owners of The Capital Journal put ip-
TO circulation a petition to have a
better and Greater Commercial Club
In doing this we had no intention of
casting any reflection upon the pres
ent Board Of Trade, because the pres
ent Board Of Trade has done good
work, but, as the majority Of the bust
ness men Of the city Of Salem well
know the present Board Of Trade has
outlived Its usefulness, and, as the
city of Salem grows and expands, so
must also the Commercial Club grow
and expand in accordance with the
demands which are being made upon
1t. Other cities have larger and better
Commercial Clubs than has Salem
cities OF less population and import
ance than Salem, and 1t is because OF
the alertness and enRrgy, expended and
the object in view Of furtherlng It's in
dividual cltys interest that these diff
ferent commercial clubs have sue
ceeded as well as they have.
AS stated above, the new owners of
the Capital Journal have been trying
to get an adequate commercial club |
for the city Of Salem and II is a source |
of great pleasure to see the encour- |
asement which has been accorded TO |
the movement as is evidenced by the
list OF leading business men OF this
city as published in The Capital Jour
nal.
It has been proposed that the llllhee
Club, the Business Mems League, the
Board of Trade, and the new CONNER
Clal Club consolidate. The new Com
mercial Club has no idea or Intentions
of interfering with the Illlhee Club,

Discusses
the Prison

A segregation Of prisoners is one OF
the recommendations made by Philip
T. Bauer, protestant chaplain of the
state penitentiary, in his biennial re-
pert which was made public today. It
Is the opinion Of Chaplain Bauer that
young prisoners who are not hardened
criminals or Of the criminal tyne
should not be directly associated with
those who are distinctly criminal
Under present conditions at the
prison the report states there is no
segregation, even at the dinner tables,
while 1t sometimes happens that hard
ened criminals and those who are not
Of the criminal type even occupy the
same cells.
AS means to the end of arriving at
plans for the mutual benefit of all who
are concerned in the government of
the prison and also Of the prisoners
themselves, Chaplain Bauer calls at
tention to the need Of conferences of
the officials and guards at the prison.
On some occasions he would call in
committees Of the prisoners them
selves. ..5.

People at the state house are dill.

mood Of Governor West during tbe
last two days as applied to the hang.

penitentiary. The executive is good.
numoredly answering all questions
put to him, and is answering every
communication on the subject that
comes to his office One stenograph-
er this morning replied to 125 letters
bearing on the case Of John NJ TayIor
The stenographers say it is getting on
their nerves.
Some have been heard to remarl,
that they attributed the governors de-
meanor to the probable fact that he
has decided to commute the sentence
Of every one of the condemned men,
and that he is replying to letters and
questions merely by saying that he is
giving the cases consideration" only
because that method of reply promises
more peace Of mind than any other
Is Grimly Humorous.
Others have ventured the coniec-
ture that the affair has been getting
on the nerves of the governor, and
that he is forcing himself to look on
the somewhat grimly humorous side Of
the thing, as far as possible, for there
is a certain amount Of humor to be
CLEANED from the divers varieties OF
letters and copied poems that are
flooding the executive office daily.
Governor West would give out no
extended interview today, but had the
following to say about the report that
he expected to be away on a hunting
trip on Friday:
He VIII Escort EN-.
Referring to the useless discussion
now being carried on through the
press as to my being absent from the

being away on this date. On the 9TH

hat my services may be available
should certain prominent individuals,
who are clamoring for the lives of
.hese men, desire to have me take
hem on a personally conducted tour

COnvlcts Assist,

sources are coming to the governor to
assist in the effort to save the men

More Land Needed.

After visit last fall to ten of the
leading penal institutions of our land
| am convinced that we are suffering
much because Of lack Of equipment"
says Chaplain Bauer, "The first and
big thing that we need, and we trust
that the legislature can be prevailed
upon to see this need, is more land for
our farm. In this agricultural and
fruit section of prolific farming
state, We ought to have a farm large
enough to keep an adequate herd Of
COWS for milk and to supply our insd-
tuition with fruit and farm products
The prison of Mississippi, besides
earning its keep, turns over to the
state 100000 annually, the revenue Of
its large farm.
eve should also have a better libra
ry. Cities and colleges are multiply
ing libraries by the hundreds, and in
none of them are books used as they
are here. The value Of a book lies in
the number of its readers, and its Inn
preston upon the reader, so books
have a great value in our library
Surely he ought to have $500 year
for four years to replenish and rebind
our books. If we had means to estab-
lish a small bookbindery here in the
prison, we could save our own books
and do some needed work for the 9TH
er institutions.

Of the governors plan Of providing

tells at some length Of what is being
accomplished in an industrial way at

Saturday, when the Agricultural and

clashes with the eleven from the I'm
iversity of Arkansas at the State Fair
grounds. Two special trains carrying
ten sleeping cars each will leave over
the Houston and Texas Central Fri

whether production or marketing af-
forded the most profitable field for
cooperation. Mr.. Knapp said: IF
you will permit me will suggest that
business men can materially assist
the farmers in both production and
marketing. They can also render
valuable assistance in improving pub
lie highways, perfecting our system
OF rural education so that the boys
may be taught to farm more intelli-
gently and the girls may learn domes-
tic science and make farming more
profound occupation and otherwise
make farm life more remunerative
and attractive.
Our department has always coop
Grated with commercial clubs and we
welcome every effort of the business
men to assist in the great work OF
bringing the agricultural industry into
