duced to ashes by that fiery paper. But,
examination of its editorial columns
the following day showed an 11-line
comment stating that "the matter was
to be finally submitted to the people
before the purchase. " The subject was
not worth attention. "The Decline of
the Tailcoat, " and "Plant Food in Ami.

to the voters.

matters are not to be. fairly handled by
a newspaper, in the name Of common
sense what are the functions of news,

ter from the people, not from fire en-
gne companies, water concerns and city
attorneys, To whom is first obligation

is, if we didn t have The Journal, we
would soon have another newspaper in
the city. Keep up your fight for what

You have accomplished a great deal
so far in finding out that the whole af.

council. Now that the city attorney has
learned that the council didn' intend
that he should have that raise and that
they misunderstood the matter, he will,
doubtlessly, voluntarily rise to the EN-.

Commends The Journal.


Editor Capital Journal:
The writer has been watching the
course of The journal since it changed
hands and would like to give expression
to word Of encouragement. Prior to
the new management The Journal was
the first (and only paper to give its
readers the metropolitan colored sup.
plement, The first cut of the beautiful
Masonic Temple and the railroad bridge
over the Willamette appeared in The
journal. During the Elks' carnival in
Portland The journal appeared in the
lodge colors.
Now, as a reader of local papers, 1
had an idea that the enterprise dis.
played by your paper was certainly
worthy Of appreciation on the part of
the public, and am told by one of your
carriers that the public heartily re.
spends in extended circulation. Since

Not alone do you forge ahead with

is meeting with public approval. We,
the taxpayers, are pleased to see that
there is one paper in Salem ready to
ask us first what we want. As a rule
everything is arranged for us and we
do the voting.
The attitude Of The Journal on the
water question is exactly right. The
remarks of Mr. Barnes were certainly

Beauty's path through life is sort
of rose.bordered one a royal progress,
for to beauty the world, big and listle,
pays homage Just as the individual
woman has the ability to please and to
win favor does she come to realize that
the first and most potent influence is
physical beauty.
If there is a woman who does not
care to look well who does not care to
win affection and love she is an alb
normal creature, and with her we have
nothing to do. 1t is simply human ma.
ture, a desire implanted in every nor.
NAL heart to wish for admiration and
love-
Assuming that it is not only the nat.
ural desire of woman, but also her duty,
to please, in order to succeed, she
must train herself to that end. First
of all let me impress it upon you that
end is not obtained by carelessness and
neglect. The Mohammedans say: "To
Eve God gave two.thirds of all beau,
ty." DR. johnson, who wrote the Eng.
lish dictionary, said: "Nature has
given woman so much power that the
law cannot afford to give her any
more"
From the beginning of history the
two forces most potent in moving the
world have been beauty and gold, and
when the two powers were pitched one
against the other it was beauty that
lost.
There are two sorts of beauty, one
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-03-31

working for the destruction of good,
leaving a path like the trail of ser.
pent, the other uplifting and working
for the highest, noblest purpose. The
, first sort Of beauty is only desire to
please and crafty the senses for a
moment, only to plunge into the
depths Of despair that follow: Mere
! physical beauty, without high moral
worth, is but fleeting shadow whose
history is writ in blood and tragedy, 1t
is like the ripples of placid surface of
water when pebble is tossed into it,
But when beauty of person is united
to beauty of character it is of high NOR
al worth, which the intellect stamps
upon the face and shows its dignity
and purity in every movement. 1t is
this combination of physical and mental
beauty that makes womankind a glory
in history.
l Beauty reaches its perfection in the
huamn form and its utmost exaltation
in woman. The thing which charms
most is and must forever remain indie
finable for it is something which ap.
peals to the imagination and which an.
alysis can never grasp. 1t is this that
makes the effect of the doll.like beauty
fade as the sea foam.
Here is definition of beauty
found in dictionary: "Those quail,
ties which are most pleasing to the eye,
together with grace and charm, a beau.
tiful woman" Yours for charming wo.

bell DEFENDS GLOVER
Option on Land Between Rock
Creek and Cathedral
Not Bogus"

In a statement issued by Charles ].
Bel last night, defending c. c. Glover
from an attack made against him on
the floor of the House OF Representatives
by Representative Sims of Tennessee, Mr..
Bell said that the option which Mr..
Glover held for land between Rock creek
and the National Cathed al was by no
means bogus one-that it was bona
fide in every respect Mr. Bell was A
trustee of that property and handled
much of the business.
Mr. Bells statement. in part. is: If Mr..
Sims had taken the trouble to call at
my office shou have been very glad to
exhibit to him absolute proof Of the ex-
istence OF these options. running from
March, 1906, to the close of the second
session of the SiXtieth Congress, and thus
prove to him conciusiVely that the state
ment made by Mr.. @ over VS. absolutely
co. rect, and that during all the period
of time he was offering this property 10
the United States COVE: nment he had a
full and complete option made in perfect
good faith, granted TO him by the trustees
and owners of the property.
MIR. Sims also charges Mr.. Clover with
making false statement in re alton to
the difficulty the trustees had in getting
the owners to consent to the extensions
OF the original option. AS l had per-
sonai charge OF this matter for the
trustees and owners. / speak with au-
thority in stating that it was with the
greatest difficulty l succeeded in getting
number of the owners to consent to
these extensions. SO that Mr.. Glover was

made to the subcommittee on appropria-
tons that he be ieved 1t impossible TO re-
