ALMOST every day the papers
mentioned some firm which has in
creased the wages Of its employees.
This must surely satisfy the doubt
ing Thomases that the country will
not be ruined by the Wilson tariff.
During the existance of the Me-
Kinley tariff law, the manufacture
es were frequently given notice by
their employees Of a reduction of
wages, notably was this the case in
the Carnigie works. But recently
these same works gave notice Of an
increase in the wages Of the men in
their employ. This was soon fol-
lowed by other manufacturers un-
til it is estimated that the wages OF
at least 100000 men have been. in.
creased on an average of over 10
per cent, and. still Others are hav-
ing tteir wages increased. There
is significance in these announce
ments, not only to the army Of
laborers alro4er the country, but
to the republican politicians who
did their level best to make the
people believe democratic tariff
which means a reduction of tariff
taxes-would ruin the country. The
futility Of their charges are now so
patent there is now no longer cause
for their repetition.

GRAIN sacks are now offered at
81 cents, the lowest they have been
for number of years. Thisis one
of the good effects of the democratic
tariff law. Farmers, when you get
your sacks this year, count up how
much you save between the present
price and what you paid under the
Mckinley law. y will give you
some idea of the amount saved to
the farmers Of this state. by "the
change"

THE daily press gives account of
terrible storms, tornadoes and cy-
clones extending over several states
east of the Rockies attended by an
appalling loss of life and property,
while here in Oregon we are hav-
ing as fine weather as could be de-
sired. Our farmers when they feel
like complaining, should read the
account of the condition of affairs
in the east, and be thankful they
live in country where such cal
antilles are unknown.

The crops in this country will
be the lightest harvestedfor a mum
ber of years and in Morrow and
Sherman counties the same unfor-
tunate conditions are said to exist.
Quite a number ofmen will come
here from those counties to work in
harvest. Work will be scarce and
men plentiful, which, according to
the law of supply and demand, will
reduce wages. The farmers with
short crops and low prices, cannot
afford to pay the wages they form
erly paid for harvest work. We
understand that in the Walla Wal
la valley they are paying $1.25 per
day for men to drive header beds
and in talking with some of our
farmers, we learn that it is the
general opinion that there will be
q cut Of at least rs cents per day
in wages this harvest. This is to
be regretted, but the laborer can
buy more with his wages then than
he could formerly at the price paid
him,

WEsToN's city council is still

Some time since the council over

iting cows running at large within
the city limits About rs of the
citizens petitioned forthe ordinance
to be SO ammended as to allow the
COWS to run at large during the day

poor people who have COWS.

ance for a number of years, and

but that soon gave way TO approy-

ATHENA should have at least six
months school this year. There is
nothing that helps to build up a
town more than a good school Be-
sides to educate the rising genera
tion is duty every citizen owes to
the community in which he lives.
Athena has long been noted for the
excellency of her schools and she
should see that they are not al
owed to retrograde. BY all means

AT THE GOSPEL TENT.
Evangelist Barrett Will Take a Two.
Days Vacation.

| The Stewart Street Baptist Church chorus
OF about 80 voices discoursed sweet music
az the Gospel Tent last evening Mr.. and
Mrs. WILSON also sang two duets.
Evangelist Barrett delivered a search
ing, yet simple sermon, from Acts II :l3,
IL lie said there was great cry for
short creeds today. How can | shorten
my creed? This is the momentous aues-
ton. For his part, he believed in length
ening his creed. What would you think
OF man with short historical scien-
tinc, literary, political, or theological
creed? You would feel that he knew
very little about history, science. litera-
ture, politics, theology. 1t only takes a
snort creed TO save a man, but it does
take some creed. For instance. here was
Cornelius = good, upright, Just and
moral man-yet he was lost. Cornelius
had to hear certain words and had to be-
lieve certain things before he could be
saved.
This Is the case with every lost man or
woman here. No matter how moral YOU
must hear certain words and believe GER
tain things before you are saved. First,
you mast believe you are lost sinner
under condemnation, and that none OF
your works VIII save you. The fact that
people don't believe they are lost Is send
ing more people TO hell than anything
else today. There are more people here
tonight who are hell-bound from this
cause than from any other. Read Romans
3:23, d! :23; John 1886. Rev. 21:S III you
don belieye you are lost outside OF Jesus
Christ, you are not saved Second. YOU
must believe Christ Is your Saviour and
that He died for you. Men tell YOU this
way and that way to be saved, but YOU
have Gods voice saying Acts 4:12. Men
used to be saved from two things; the
quit OF sin by Christ crucified; the pres
ence and power of sin by Christ resur-
rected. Superficial thinkers tell us we are
saved from sin by Christ's example. but
the tirst part OF Rom. 5:10 comes before
the latter part. Our past sins are only
washed away by Isaiah $3.50, | Peter 2:2l
Nothing gives peace TO guilty conscience
but Christ's blood. Third, you must
believe that Jesus rose from the dead.
Rom. S:3i, Heb. 1925. You must do GER
tain things also. You must act out your
belief. You must come TO Christ and
take Him as your Saviour from the guilt
and power OF sin, John. :12 You must
confess Christ. My Bible tells me that a
faith that does not lead to confession does
not lead TO Heaven, Rom. 1919, 10 You
must obey Christ. Make Gods will your
Will DO things Christ tells YOU 10 do.
This Is simple creed. Three things TO
believe and three things to do, but 1 am
sure the man who follows this creed will |
be saved. But Christ can never save you
unless you are willing. |

munity. True loyalty is not unreason-
ing subserviency and true loyalty Is not
incompatible with resistance'to the OPP
pressive coercive restriction or deprivation
