AN ENCOURAGING EFFORT.

COUNCILMAN MINToN addressed
a communication TO The Capital
Journal which appeared in yester-
days paper. Tho Journal was indeed
glad to receive It. Not that It shed
any light on anything in particular,
but simply because It is encouraging,
It shows for one thing that Council
man Minton reads The Journal, and
that therefore his continued silence
on the matter Of why he raised the
city attorneys salary is not because
he has not known the question was
asked h'm, but rather because he pre-
fers to talk about something else, He
grows a trinc sarcastic and tells the
journal: Don't think for a minute
that Counclmen Jones and Mlnton
have taken hunch from the Journal
and coaslng any effort to onrorco the
laws Of the city insofar as they have
the power" The honorable council
man Is about as nearly correct In this

THE SALEM HOG EXTINCT.

wHB end Of the legislative session is
near, and, up to this time, moth
ing has been heard through the
newspapers, either of Portland or OF
the state at large, concerning that
once very much-talked-about animal,
"the Salem hog!" This is a decided
change, and pleasing one. 1t has
been the custom TO accuse Salem OF
wanting big appropriations for the
state institutions located here. Now,
as a matter of fact, Salem is no more
interested in these appropriations than
any other part Of the state, and, while
a little business is made for her mer-
chants, by these institutions being To-
Gated here, It is comparatively trif-
ling, Let us take an unbiased glance
at the situation. The state institu-
tions here are of such a character
that but little Of the state funds are
spent here, as supplies for them are
purchased by contract, and Portland
gets the lions share Of that, while
they are open to every person in the
state.
There are between $50 and 400 pris-
oners in the penitentlarT, but 1t Is
suggested that these people do not
come down town, or spend any money
1t It. At the asylum there were nearly
1900 before the branch asylum at
Pendleton was established, but these,
too, are not in the habit Of visiting
down town, or spending any great
amount of money. The same may be
said Of the reform school, the deaf
mute and the blind schools. AS mat
ter Of fact, all the money that Salem
gets from the institutions located here
Is that expended by the employees. II
is different with the U. Of o., the o. A.
C. and such institutions, which bring
many to the cities where they are To-
Gated, who all spend more or less
money in their cities. Salem is moi
kicking about that, for it Is simply the
good fortune of those places where
these institutions are located, and they
have to be located some place. II Il
wasn't Eugene or Corvallis, 1t woult
be some other town, and so Salem re
joices with her sister cities in thei
good fortune, and is glad to see tn
legislature not only just but generou
to them, and hopes sincerely that tn,
institutions at the places will alway
receive q liberal and hearty support
for they are worthy and beneficial Il
the whole state. That's the way Salen
feels about, and that Is why Th
Capital journal expresses It's salts
faction at the passing forever of Al
undeserved nickname, and It's gratifi
cation that fine appropriations ar
made for the state educational institu
tions.

insinuation, as he is in most things.
That Is to say he is dead wrong. The
Journal never asked him or any other
city official not TO enforce the pool
room closing law or any other. Why
should It? The Journal deprecated the
closing of the pool rooms, but it did
not advise any officer not to close
them. Besides this, though, the hon
orable councilman does not seem to
be aware OF 1t, the law concerning the
closing of places Of amusement on
Sundays Is a state law, not the product
of Salem's city council. 1t was not the
duty Of the chief Of police to close
them, IL they were to be closed, but
that if the sheriff or constable. Neither
was 1t the duty of tho city attorney to
prosecute them. The $500 voted him
by the city council did not include SER
vice for the state, only for the city
The Journal regrets that Councilmen
Minton or Jones drew the Inference
from its columns that it wished them
to cease their strenuous efforts at law
enforcement, and it sincerely wishes
them more power to their elbows" in
these commendable efforts--if they
ever begin them. In the meanwhile
will the honorable councilman, Mr.
Mlnton now that it is known he Is
alive and can write, kindly continue
his efforts at enlightenment and tel
the public what he knows about rails
ing the city attorneys salary, and tel
tho public further why 1t was done.

THE END OF THE SESSION.

THB legislature is surely doing
business now. With the reports
from the committees practically
all made, there is nothing to do but
vote upon the measures, and, though
there are some debates, the bills are
generally being disposed Of in short
order, and by Friday night the decks
will be pretty we'll cleared. There are
some very important measures to be
acted upon, but these have been gone
over in the committee rooms, and the
legislators already know what they
will do with them, and, though there
may be some little discussion over a
few Of them, most will be acted upon
without further discussion or debate,
The house resolution to make the ses-
sion 40 working days is, at this writ
ing, (Monday night still before the
committee. What will be done with
1t is, OF course, not known. The SEN
ate is opposed to holding longer than
the constitutional time, but the house
can make 1t eat out OF Its hand on this
matter for the legislature cannot ad-
journ without action Of both bodies
1t is presumed that the house will
think better of it, and that the session
will end Friday night, at midnight
by the clock, It is also probable that
the appropriation for the Panama faii
will not be changed in the house, and
that Oregon will expend 100000 IN
doing some advertising for herself
and making a showing Of her pro
ducts creditable to our great state.
