PUBLIC OPINION in AMERICA.

| know of no country in which
there are so little independence of
mind and real freedom of discus
sion as there are in America In
any political state in Europe ev-
cry sort of religious and political
theory may be freely preached
ana disseminated, for there is no
country in Europe so subdued by
any single authority as not to
protect from the consequence of
his hardihood the man who raises
his voice In the cause of truth.
If he is unfortunate enough TO
live under an absolute govern
ment the people are often on his
side; il he inhabits a free country
he can. if necessary, find shelter
behind the throne The aristo-
cratic part of society supports
him in some countries and the
democracy in others. But 10 a
nation where democratic institu-
tions exist, like those in the
United States, there is but one
authority, one element of
strength and success, with
nothing behind it. In Amer
lea the majority raises formida
BILE barriers around the liberty
Of opinion. Within these bar
riers an author may write what
he pleases, but woe to him il he
goes beyond them. His political
career is closed forever since be
offended the only authority
which is able to open it. Every
sort of compensation, even that
Of celebrity. is denied him.

STRIKERS WILL ACCEPT
Little Falls Textile Workers Agree
With Mediators.

Utica, N. Y, Jan AT a mass
meeting of the striking textile work
ers in Little Falls this afternoon it
was practically decided to accept the
offer made by the proprietors Of the
affected mills through the state
board of mediators. The terms of the
settlement will be made public in a
formal ratification meeting tomorrow
IN the city theatre. This development
is regarded as a victory by the strik-
ers for they seem satisfied with the
terms.

WASTED OPPORTUNITIES.

God is in politics. God is in
government. He always has
been, and He always will be.
All service in the twentieth cen
fury is somehow connected with
government. We are on the
threshold Of an age in which the
teachings of Jesus are at last to
get into government. What hap
pened to the prodigal son has
happened to whole race of
humanity. We have run riot in
individualism, in materialism, in
seltishness, until now we are re-
duced TO the husks. We are be-
ginning to see at last that man
cannot live by bread alone. The
mission of the church is to In
spire. We are beginning to see
that life is growth in service.
The only hell that we can con
ceive of In this life or in the next
is the spectacle of wasted oppor-
tunities.- Winston Churchill.

YOUNG AMERICA
GETS ENTHUSIASTIC

That the young Americans in Salem
are more enthusiastic over the national
game this year than over before Is the
statement made last night by A. II.
Moore, the sporting goods man on Court
street.
"The little chaps are just simply
frantic over the game this season, "
says Mr. Moore, 'and they are not only
going at 1t hammer and tongs in the
back yards and vacant lots, but are
taking great interest in tho major
league contests, Another thing notice
able this season is that the younger pos
sibilities are demanding the good first
class. Heretofore they were satisfied
with a five.cent ball and a more stick
for bat Now they want big
league sphere and regular chunk Of
wagon tongue The clever youngsters
are also supplying themselves with rule
books and all the up-to.date baseball
equipments"

task Of publishing newspaper added
to his labors, anyway, not at the ex'
isting salary, and there is no raise in
sight.
1t would probably be good thing for
the city attorney to "get" the Capital
journal, or at least to manage it, and
come in contact with the public. 1t
would tend to broaden his views, inn
prove his manners and teach him the
rudiments Of politeness. He would learn
not to tell inquirers that anything was
"none Of their business" for he would
find these inquirers were the people
who were his patrons, and in sense
his employers. He would learn, getting
his pay directly from the people whom
he served, rather than from the city
treasury, that it was they, and not the
city council or the city treasurer who
paid him his salary; and that they were
entitled to information about their own
business, which he was attending to for
them. He would learn to return a civil
answer to the humblest taxpayer, or the
hard-working newsgatherer, the same as
he would to a member Of the city coun.
ell, the mayor or the chairman Of the
street paving committee, the Hon. Gid.
himself.
These few remarks and suggestions
are not made in an unkindly spirit;
quite the reverse and as friendly hint
to the city attorney as to the course he
should pursue after he has "got" the
