long horns says the prOverb, and the
little pamphlet deals in that brand of
stock. Now here is case only an hour
or two 8 ride from Salem. The thrifty
little city Of Eugene, somewhere near
Salem 3 size, some time ago put in an
electric plant Of its own. Up to that
time the local company had charged its
patrons Is cents per kilowatt, The city
fixed the charge to its patrons at 8
cents, and is making money at that.
Did the local company go into bank.
ruptcy or out of business. Not on your
tintypel Instead it reduced its price to
0 cents, and, though it lost many of its
customers, is as cOntentedly as possible
doing business at the new price, and,
presumably, is not losing money at it,
either. Eugene citizens are now getting
lights for 90 cents that before the city
bought its plant cost $3.50, This is one
of the hundreds of municipality owned
utility plants that Arthur Hastings
Grant failed to discover. Indeed Ar.
| thur was not paid to find that kind.
At no very distant date The Capital
journal proposes taking this matter up
at length, not for the purpose of getting
a city owned lighting plant if it can be
avoided, but in an honest and earnest
effort to get Salem's light bills kept
within reasonable bounds. Not for pre-,
venting the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company from getting fair
profits on its investment, but for the
purpose of keeping those profits below
the line where profits ccase-and lar,

man cafes must close on Sunday as well
as the American gin mill, whose inten.
tion and function is quite different. If
they keep open, they must do so surrep.
titiously. In this respect they stand on
the plane of the BrOadayw saloon, and
furnish precisely similar opportunities
for graft.
Meanwhile Americans get all the
tea and ice water they want, and hence
do not pay attention to the senseless
hardship our system is working, But
suppose hundred thousand Americans
settled in Berlin or Turin. Germans
and Italians are quite as suspicious and
uncertain about tea and ice water as
rural lawmakers are, officially at least
about beer, If the general government
enacted this prejudice into law, and the
American colony could not have any
tea or ice water on Sunday, the same
thing would happen there that happens
here. The Americans would get their
tea surreptitiously, the police would be
corrupted and the responsibility of the
chief executive while nominally abso.
lutte, would be really impracticablc and
absurd. "

A WONDERFUL TONIC
THAT AIDS DIGESTION

Thousands are unable to digest
certain kinds Of food. In most cases
II is not the fault Of the food, nor
the stomach, It is probable that the
stomach has been abused. Many re-
sort to predigested foods and various
kinds OF medicines to get relief from
dyspepsia, indigestion and heartburn,
but without permanent benefit.
II your stomach was in perfect
condition, you would not need medl-
cine to digest the foods you eat
Jayne's Tonic vermlfuge is a stomach
regulator. 1t gets the stomach in
such a condition that II will digest
food without other assistance. 1t
overcomes the acldity and stimulates
the coating Of the stomach and in
testlnes so that they will properly
absorb and asslmllate the nutriment
from the food eaten Sufferers from
dyspepsia and indigestion will find
permanent relief in a short time af-
ter beginning the use of the tonic
For children the addition Of a little
sugar will make It most palatable.
