oREGoN'S SENATOR.

The failure of the Republican
majority in the Oregon Legislature
to elect a senator, Is dus to the
influence Of populism in Oregon.
Two years ago, the same majority
would have elected a senator and
have got down To business long
ago. The populistic ideas, some
Of which are good, some indifferent
and some worthless, have unmis-
tokably infused themselves with
the weakened members Of the
grand old party. The people have
heard much political discussion.
They have seen and talked with
Pennoyer. They have listened to
the lesser lights Of the party, on
the streets and around the stores.
They have experienced hard
times, and, believing much of'
what they hear. they, even the
Republicans, have been weaned
from the grand old party. Many
Democrats have trodden the same
path, They are helplessly, hope
lessly bewildered aud resent the
mention Of the name Of auy man
whose indications sre toward gold,
trusts and corporations. No one
ie''ies that Mr., Dolph is The ideal
senator for trusts, monopnlies and
corporations, Therefore, those
Republicans whc have yielded to
'he arguments q the populist, are

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

A big discussion is going on in
California upon the subject Of
divorce, on account Of the extreme
laxity Of the laws there. The
papers are well filed on the topic.
Below we give couple views of
prominent people somewhat diff
fering in the matter. The first is
by DIR. NJ. NJ. Gibson; q am
opposed to divorce on any grounds
except scrlptural, l stand upon
the ground tnat the marriage re-
!ation is the most sacred that
exists. The home must ID Nso-
tected and kept inyialate even at
the personal sel',sacrihcc Of both
parties. II any change be desired,
| favor the granting Of q hill Of
separation, but never divorce, ex-
cept the most conclusively proven
case Of violation of the seventh
commandment.
In that case, and that alone, ]
would permit the remarriage of the
offended parties during the life,
time Of the offender. But / am
cautious even in making that con.
cession. | believe that the fence
around matrimony should be BULL
as high as the walls Of Jerico, witt
never q knot-hole for escape.

front rank in this movement tc

i Cannot help but feel proud
that this great wave of reform

stance from the church. | sin
cerely hope that the churches out
here will take up the work and
accomplish as practical, far,spread
results as they have in the East.
Assuredly no community needs it
more than does ours"
The second is by the well known
Sarah B. Cooper:
u do not think the churches
will accomplish anything practical
or lasting in that direction, |
believe that there are other grounds
for divorce than those laid down in
the Scripture.
"The reform in the moral tone
Of our society will not come
through the churches; it will not
come through the law courts; it
will come through the higher and
nobler character of the people
themselves, and until it does come
in that way, it will not come at
all. #
"When moral principles have
been instilled into the minds of
from babyhood by their
mothers then We will have a race
that will not need divorce laws of
any kind. | have not given the
matter sufficient thought to make
any pronounced statement, but |
am very sure that Scriptural
reasons are not the only ones upon
which divorces should be granted
md that the reformation, when it
loes come must strike deep into
,he character and life of the
people,"

And He Can't Understand Yet Why the

Two theater parties sat opposite each
other in a down town cable car a few
evenings ago. The women cast searching
looks at each other, swift, but piercing,
which took in every detail of the toilet
from the topmost rosette of the bonnet to
the pointed toe of the boot. This duty
finished, they politely ignored each other.
In the momentary abstraction of their
fair charges the men of one party fell back
on each others society.

girl opposite - whispered the mathemati-
clan.
