SUNDAY EXCURSION.

Another is Sabbath excursions and
pleasure trips. found this statement
some time ago in one of our Western
papers. Nothing here in the West, is
causing christian people more anxiety
than the continued increasing indiffer-
ence manifested to the open and con-
slant violation of our Sabbath ordin-
ances. Our transit lines are controlled
commonly by corporations whose only
greed Is ''get money rightiously, if YOU
can, but any way, get money" These
railway companies run every Sunday.
excursion trains out to the lakes. or
other pleasure resorts, which are usu-
ally literally patronized by the floating
population of our citizens and the in
tervening stations along the lines. The
baggage cars are well supplied with
kegs of beer, and other alcoholic stimu-
lants. Of course the scenes enacted at
these resorts are such as might be ex
pected from a lot of half drunken hood
lums on a bacchanalian revel. Another
crying evil with us is the base ball
craze, whose games are held on the
suburbs of the city, and train loads of
sporting men and woman, are carried
each Sunday to witness these Sabbath
breaking amusements. -
l am truly sorry that here in the
East, no better conditions prevail
Here excursion trains and steamboats,.
offer special attractions for Sunday, all
OF which can be had at greatly reduced
rates. We may take for example our
nearest resort, Woodland Beach, where
the Steamer "Clyde" comes every Sun
day laden with molly throng from
the cities, then the hacks. and private
conveyances carry crowds from the
rural districts, that together they NAV
have day of revelry and dissipation
while our churches are sparcely filled.
and our Sabbath Schools almost de-
serted. What blight upon Christian
Civilization! that Gods holy day should |
be thus desecrated.
Smyrna times., 1897-04-28
HOPEFUL SIGNS.


Mrs. Mary B. DOnnell, superinten-
dent of Sabbath Observance gives us a
little cheer, and brighter picture.
She writes: "While there seems to be
very little change in the amount of
Sabbath desecration, the outlook all
over the land, betokens a change which
is most encouraging. Sabbath Asso-
Citations are being formed everywhere.
Rev. W. j. Crafts, field secretary of
the Reform Association has reached
the Pacific Coast on his his third trans
continental tour, in the interest of Sab
bath reform. Petitions for the pro-
lection of the Sabbath are being circu-
lated and with thousands of names are
presented to Congress and State Legis-
latures, Christian people are being
aroused as never before in intense
anxiety to save our Christian Sabbath.
All this must have a good effect, for it
is when we are aroused to dangers sur
rounding us, that we prepare to fight
the foe.
"Women to the support of the Sab
bath, " was the title of an article in the
Christian AdOOcate few weeks ago.
1t stated that during the past few weeks
Mrs. Russell Sage opened her resi-
dence for the National Sabbath AL,
lance. The pledge which its members
take is, "to resist by precept, and ex-
ample, whatever tends to undermine
Sunday as a day of rest and worship,
such as Sunday secular newspaper,
Sunday social entertainments, and
Sunday travel, for gain or pleasure.
1t was stated at that meeting that many
influential persons in Washington,
(where an auxiliary is established)
have agreed to forego Sunday recep-
tions and dinners, which is hopeful
sign.
The question then oonfronts us
How can we properly observe the Sab
baths what is your duty and mine?
Hallow the Sabbath day personally, in
your home, train your children thus,
and allow those under your employ to |
do the same. Make the day delight,
as well as ''holy of the Lord, make il
peculiarly the home day of sacred con-
ference, between parents and children,

THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.

Another evil I might name is secular
readlng-prominent among which is
the Sunday Newspaper. This subtle
and insidious agent, is doing its deadly
work, right at our own fre-sides, Gf
we allow it in our home.) 1t is one of
the mightest forces in secularization.
that threatens to sweep over our land.
and unchristianize our civilization. It
comes Haunting crime and shame of
great cities, in the faces of our inno-
cent sons and daughters, and being
made exceedingly attractive with prize
stories, and prizes offered as rewards
to its readers; Thus many precious
hours of our holy Sabbath are more
than wasted, and the minds of old and
young poisoned, by this agent of Satan.

SALEM, Or, March /, 1897.
DEAR MADAM: Upon my return tc
the Office this morning after an absence
Of several days, 1 find yours Of Feb,
oath The clerk reports that he gave
you a partial answer to the same, but
II may be best that / haYe something
10 say IN regard to the same.
The decision OF the supreme court in
the Stevens case has nothing TO de
whatever with a person voting at a
school meeting.
The law has laid down certain
rights and privileges, and the statute
pertaining to the same is what gov
erns US The statute provides that in
a district school meeting women who
have property 10 their own names and
upon which they pay tax in their own
names have a right to vote at a school
meeting.
am aware that some persons claim
that this is in contravention Of the
constitution, but ! am not making
any decision on the constitution. /
am acting on the statute, which gov
ems such cases until the statute is
set aside by the decision OF the su-
preme court. Therefore, / claim that
every woman, who has property upon
which she pays a tax in her own name
is entitled to vote until the matter is
settled by the supreme court.
i would say that the term
"schoOl meeting" is used under the
law TO designate any and all meet
ings, regular or special, and | see no
point In the law where a construction
can be placed on the same that makes
a distinction between a school meet
ing and a school election.
On page 80 of the school law, section
81, paragraph 81 Of the law states all
regular and spetial school meetings
must be convened by a written call,
by the chairman OF the board
and clerk.
After defining the duties of the sew
eral school meetings, both regular and
the law provides in section
that any citizen Of this state shall
beentitled to vote ataschool meeting.
To my mind they mean n and the
same thing so far as the right to vote
is concerned.
l hope that the women of your place
will not be so timid as to pay heed to
the rumors that may be reported in
to this matter.
Have them to vote, and IL any one
challenges their vote let it be decided
by the courts.

Two News Items and a Few WoroS ~
the Faithful Brute.
II was not alone at washington
that horses were frightened. Wheu
tbey heard Of the Mckinley family
taking possession Of the White House
several lively Salem nags kicked VI
their heels and ran away.
If it is only a horse Of spirit tha'
will run away, then James Munker'
must have two. His team was LETT
standing in front Of Bush's bank En-
day afternoon, tied by one OF the line,
only. The horses became frightened
at a passing electric a and breaking
loose. started west on State street
They kept close to the north side Of
thoroughfare and when IN front OF
SCHNEIDER & Siegmund's blacksmith
sbop the hack, TO which they were
hitched. collided with Al Nye's deliv'
cry wagon Mr.. Nye had his horse IN
the shop, but his wagon was slightly
damaged, the near hind wheel and the
shafts being shattered.
ANOTHER SPIN
was taken Friday eveningithat caused
considerable excitement in the ylcln'
ity OF the East Salem school. VIM.
Larned, the milkman, in making tae
evening circuit Of his patrons, lett Dis
team standing near the corner OF
Union and Capitol street, while he de-
livered some milk. During his absence
the horses became frightened at a
large dog and dashed east on Union
street at a frightful speed. In turning
south on Twelfth street the milk
wagon was completely overturned,
scattering butter, milk-canS and their
contents in profusion over the street,
besides badly demolishing the wagon.
At this juncture the animals freed
themselves from the wagon and con-
tinued in their race but were after
wards captured on east State street.
Mr.. Larned ordinarily does not de-
liver his cream whipped to order nor
his milk chnrned to butter but this
time he came near doing it.
The horse reporter Of the JOURNAL
cannot forbear TO say a wold Tor the
faithful beast al this season. lie
would remind owners that the worst
thing in the horse world is the high
%over-check. When the roads are
muddy and slippery it is working a
horse at great disadvantage i! not
cruelty TO have his head checked up
so he cannot handle himself freely.
A horse cannot pull well . traYel
easily unless he has the free use of
his head and neck, which is simply
impossible when the check is used.
2. Nothing takes the flesh off a
horse as to let him stand in a cold
rain uncovered. He is a native of a
warm dry climate and needs a rubber
cover.
The way the roads are a single
horse to a delivery wagon ought to be
changed off every half day or at least
every other day. There is more re-
ligion in treating a dumb brute
humanely than in loud prayers so
thinks the horse reporter.
