GONE one, evidently a stranger in
Salem, wants the people to de-
eide as to the purchase Of the
waterworks. All the people who have
been in Salem for two years know
that the people did decide this matter
months and months ago. They de-
cided to buy the waterworks and
they put the authority by majority
vote. into the charter Things have
changed, however. The city has
grown. Many costly improvements
and extensions have been made. 1t
would be all right to put the matter up
to the people again, with the price
and let them decide. The Statesman
knows how they will decide, If they
think the price is right They will de-
eide to buy, and by a much larger
majority than before-Morning States

The above unusual editorial out
burst on tho part Of the Statesman

But as to being a stranger we would
say In a spirit Of the utmost kindness
that The Capital Journal has been for

The State Department has made a
slight change in time of February ex-
aminations. The time of holding this
examination will be Tuesday and We'd
nesday Feb. 20-21. Pupils of Eighth
Grade in City or Parochial schools may
be admitted to these examinations by
arrangement with the County Superin-
tendent. The State Department wishes
all examinations taken at central
place as it is far more satisfactory. Ow-
ing to bad roads we have deviated from
this rule more or less as has been done
in other places in the state.
The examination papers pass through
two or three different hands and pupils
are given little more than what the
paper calls for instead of less-the de-
sire is to give the pupil the benefit of
the doubt. A pupil doing good class
work during regular sessions of the
school should have a certain percent of
credit for same on his examination
Teachers have been asked to notify US
of the number of pupils wishing totake
the work. We have received but few
notices at present writing. Teachers
must be prompt about returning these
notices to us or serious misunderstood
ings may arise and pupils may lose out
on the examation. Examination ques-
tions will be mailed Feb. 10th, from
this Office.

one of the largest bunch of farmers ever
