Mission Life In Persia.

Miss Mary c. Vanneman has received
a letter from her nephew, DR.. VIM. 8.
Vanneman, in Tabriz, Persia. dated
Aug. I'd, which states that his wife and
children arrived home safely, on July
9TH, all well. They had been to Uramia,
one hundred and fifty miles distant at
tending a school since last October. The
instruction against foreigners has sub
sided as no mention is made of it.
DR.. Eanneman says: "We are ex-
pecting a teacher in September for the
Missionary children. Her name is Miss
Lourme from Indian Territory, where
she has been teaching a home mission
school. She comes highly recommended
and we hope will be satisfactory. There
will be eight missionary children to be
taught, our portion of the teachers ex-
pense will be $150-sl75 a year. This
will be cheaper than sending the chill
dren to America and also will prevent
the breaking Up Of our home. Our house
has now the roof on. A two story brick
building with eight rooms including the
kitchen. We will probably have to take
the teacher and the school. The house
has four rooms up stairs and four rooms
down. 1t is made OF mud brick faced
with burnt brick and has q cellar and
water cistern under it. 1t still has to be
whitened inside and painted, and we can
not move into it before October. / have

Greeting to the Oyster.

Sweet Neptune. to our prayers incline,
And add an extra dash of brine
To thy wide seas from which We draw
Mans daintiest dish, the oyster raw;
For now, by gastronomic rule,
Soon of the fires of summer cool,
The time comes when It's wise and vel
To tempt the oyster in his shell.
Rocked in the cradle Of the deep.
Secure let him his flavor keep,
Till that ear day when it shall fill
The soul of man with rapture's thrill;
o, oyster! Lowest form of life,
Yet with q a bliss ~ecstatic rife.
We welcome now thy sway supreme
In Natures gustatory scheme.

The Referendum iii Oregon.

It is a wear this month since tho re-
ferendum amendment to the conatltu-
ton of Oregon was adopted by the ove
whelming vote of eleven to one. Sons
of the good results reported are: ~ FL
plotting schemes have been kept out II
the legislature through fear of this veto
power of the people. ~ Good meas
ures that had been vigorously attacked
by interested corporations were allowed
to stand, the people refusing to sign
their petitions for a call for a referen-
DUN, discrediting the statement some
times made that anyone will sign q
petition.n Hon. w. S. U'Ren, amen
Der of the Oregon legislature, in q let
ter to EItweed Pomeroy, President OF
the National Direct Legislation Lea
que, says: s
1.-THE first effect of the referendum in
Oregon is the comparative absence OF
charges of corruption and craftsmanship
in the legislature. The newspapers
have generally spoken well OF the last
assembly or said nothing, while for the
previous ten years at least the rule has
been that some bitter things were print
ed about the want of honor and intel
ligence among the legislators. Alto
gether the last session of the last assem-
bly, was the best for many years, and
we credit a good deal Of this to the Di-
rect Legislation Amendment. The re-
ferendum is not easily invoked, even
though only five per cent. OF the voters
are required; that a law must be very
unpopular if the people will not permit
it to be tried, when there is no reason
able ground to believe it was corruptly
passed; that if people have any good
reason to suspect that the referendum
is sought from selfish motives or for
personal profit, they will not sign the
| petition in such a CASE. So far the re-
suits have been very satisfactory"
Referring to the same subject the
Oregonian of Portland has the follow
ing in a late editorial:
"The result may be accepted every
where, as it is in Oregon, as aAfresh
testimonial to the wisdom and safety OF
I popular government. THE Advance.
In regards to the Oregon referendum
law the Philadelphia Press says: EVEN
if references under the provisions are
rare it is manifest that it's existence
must be a curb on unpopular and indie
feasible legislation"
The Penn's Grove record., 1903-09-04
Needs Investigation

President Roosevelt did a courageous
and most praiseworthy act n year ago
when he had the coal commission APP
pointed to investigate the wrongs done
to the miners and the strike settled for
the benefit and comfort of all humanity
where the supply of coal was cut off by
the great strike. The miners went to
work had some of their wrongs redress
and In some cases wages increased.
While the wages were increased a few
cents the Coal Trust is reaping millions
by having increased the price of coal
one dollar a ton to the consumers.
Because of the strike many manu-
f~acturers who formerly used hard coal
changed to soft coal and now there is a
surplus of small sizes at the ~collieries,
because about one-fourth of the market
has been lost.
Instead of reducing the price of coal
to near the former price, even with the
extra cost added, to get back former
trade and keeping the men at work, the
Coal Trust will restrict production by
shortening the working hours. It will
be SEQ that the coal workers will be
deprived of part of their wages by hay
ing their time shortened, while at the
same time the Coal Trust will keep
prices up to rob the public.
One of the best things President
Roosevelt can do with that half million
dollars appropriated by Congress to in
vestigate Trusts would be to investigate
the Coal Trust which will continue to
rob the public by an unreasonable and
unnecessary increase in the price of
coal, when nor can be mined and put
on the market to reduce the price.

A famous bed bug suit is now in the
State Supreme Court. The First Con-
gregational Church, Of Asbury Park,
rented a house for their parson who
moved in and had to move out within
ten days, because of the annoyance.
The owner brought suit for rent and
Judge Heisler decided that a landlord
must make the premises tenantable &C
cording to old English law before he
al collect rent. Surely a person Should
not be made to pay rent when a house
is already pre-occupied-especially by
bed bugs. The landlord should charge
it to the occupying tenants.
