to furnish enough revenue, as it is

cannot be said to be just law. Even
its reciprocity section Is failure, and

Mckinley arranged and the Senate re-.

God Dominates All.

AS the mountain of Fujiyama dominates
the landscape in Japan, as the temple hills
of Jerusalem commanded the scene far all
around, SO we believe God is to be exalted
in this vast community, so as to dominate
it all. The sense of God is not fading; it
is increasing. To Him we lift up our eyes
as unto the mountains. The church is to
nourish this consciousness of God, and to
express it in lives of spiritual power. Oh,
then, how one comes to love the church
when once her real mission is seen. We
are set to invite the world to come to its
only true home. Wandering hearts, UNI
easy consciencss, troubled souls, come to
the home of homes, in Gods great love
and blessed service. Let the gates open
wide, that the mutitudes may press into
the home of their hearts. Oh, church OF
God, let your faith be large and bright,
that the world may come home. Erect no
false barriers that God would disown and
more and more become home to the chill
dren Of men, through Jesus Christ, the Sa'
vinur. --4 --------.--.---- ......-

STIMULATING INDUSTRIES.
At the Expense of the American Tax.
payer.

Speaking at Baltimore, Sept. 90,
Senator Fairbanks declared that "The
Dingley bill was enacted for yielding
a revenue to the treasury and to slim
ulate our idle industries" AS the rev.
enues have declined much below the
expenditures, the deficit amounting to
$41, 079, 601 for the last fiscal year end
ing June 80, and much greater de.
felt is promised for the present year,
already up to September % being $18,.
792,306, the law that Fairbanks boasts
of has evidently failed in one of its
purposes. But has it done any better
in stimulating our idle industries? II
FairbTnks means that it has stimu-
lated the formation of trusts, the
Dingley bill has been eminently sue
cessful, for all but eleven trusts have
been created under its fostering care
and there are now hundreds of them.
Trusts control nearly all the necessa-
to gather into a combination, from the
condensed milk the baby uses to the
coffins that all of us eventually will
have to occupy.
But there are other industries that,
instead of being stimulated, are de-
pressed. The great majority of the
cotton mills of New England have
been closed during the summer. The
textile industries of Philadelphia have
never been in worse condition, run
Mig on short time and wages re-
duced. The steel trust, In spite OF
enormous protection, has not been
prosperous, and there again the Ding
ley bill has failed to protect the work.

A comparison of the rates charged
by the local electric light company
with the rates charged by other COM
panies in The Dalles, Dayton, Waits
burg and other towns much smaller
than this shows that the people of
Walla Walla are paying excessive
rates for poor service. 1t would prob
ably be impossible for the company to
give better service to all it's patrons
from the inadequate power plant on
Mill creek, butt by the beginning of
the next year the Walla Walla river
power plant will be completed and
then with electricity to burn the COM
pany should be able to give their pat
rons satisfactory service and reason
able rates.
To do otherwise would be a short
sighted business policy. It would
check the growth of the company's
patronage and curtail it's revenues.
Reduced rates with better service
would mean largely increased pat
ronage and larger net profits. A con-
tinuation of the present high rates and
indifferent service would invite the
establishment of a rival light plant
that would treat the public with more
consideration.

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

DR.. Flick, who conducts a free hos
pital for poor consumptives at White
Haven, Pa, gives encouraging reports
of the Open-air treatment with spsci-
fic attention to diet, rest, etc., for this
class of patients. The fact that con-
sumption is communicable disease is
no longer denied by any intelligent
person. Heredity has no part in it, ex-
cept as it furnishes good soil in the
tissues of a nOnresistant body for the
germs to develop. 1t is durable if
treatment is begun in the earlier
tages. Reports from DR.. Flick's hospi-
tai furnish conclusive evidence of this
in many complete cures.
The patients live in cottages or tents,
eat freely of milk, eggs and other
easily assimilated, nutritious food, and

but it contains the. root from which
sprang the constitution of the United
States, for it embodies the first true
democratic idea of government. When
this document was drawn up, Ply
mouth, of course, had not been thought
of as a place of settlement, for 1t re-
NAMED to be discovered. A granite
tablet has been erected by the COM
monwealth of Massachusetts to COM
memorate the signing of the Pilgrim
compact, in WHAT'S now Provincetown
harbor. 1t stands in the center of a
lawn before the town hall of Province
town, and upon it are engraved the
compact and the names of the signers.
The Pilgrims cast anchor in the har-
Dor on a Saturday; the next day was
given up to prayer for this haven of
rest after their tempestuous voyage,
and on Monday the first landing was
effected. After ascertaining that the
immediate country was not suited to
agricultural purposes, a party started
out in shallop to explore the coast
for a more favorable location. The par
ty included John Carver, the first gov
ernor of the colony; William Bradford
his successor, and Miles Standish.

HIGH SPEED TRAINS.

Speed tests of the new electric loco
motives built for the New. York Cen
trail at Schenectady have proved high
ly successful, and the engines of new
design promise to be of practical and
economic value.
One of the new engines, pulling a
heavy train, has been matched against
the mail train on the New Yorw, Cen
trail. With a standing start for the
electric train and running start for
the mail. train, the former overlook and
passed the latter in four-mile stretch
attaining seventy-five miles an hour
with a possibility of ninety miles on a
longer course. 1t is understood that
the new locomotives are to be used on
the final thirty miles of the New York
Central, to do away with smoke in the
tunnels, but the success of the ex-
periments may lead to a general adop-
ton of the new motive power. Prepa-

more cost than steam, everything con-
sidered.
The general public wants rapid trOn-
sit and does not care how much ii
costs the railroad companies, provided
passenger rates are not raised. What
the public cares most about, however
is safety. The general use of the dead
" third rail- by surface railroads re-
quires the greatest precautions to be
used. The attainment of high speed
means multiplied fatalities in cases
of collision, and with an electric sps-
tenn must go an absolute perfect block
system or some other device to insure
the safety of human life.
The appalling fatalities of the pres
ent year have created feeling that
railroad operation in this country is
careless and imperfect Before the rail-
road companies increase the speed OF
their trains they should apply some
lessons in the reduction of the accident
ratio.

EXTENDING THE PAVED Dis
: !. TRIeT. III n

In the extension of the paved dis
trict in the future it would be we'll for
the council to invite competitive bids
and to give consideration to the merits
of bituminous macadam, which is said
to be cheaper than asphalt and more
durable. On the paving contract now
$1O6,000 only one bid was received.
There seems no question that a good
erty owners concerned will have their
moneys worth, even if the cost is
little more than it might have been
made under competitive bids. In the
future. however, sOmpetitiOn should
be invited and property owners should
be given the best pavement that it is
possible to get for fair consideration.
Already there is talk of paving some
of the residence streets with bitumin-
Gus macadam. This can be done if
reasonable terms are secured through
competitive bids. IL
In the city of Portland can be found
all kinds of pavement and there would
be a good place to learn of their COM
parative cost and merits. 1t is claimed
that bituminous macadam is proving
more durable than asphalt and that it
is fast gaining in favor wherever it
has been tested. 1t should be easy for
by personal inspection to determine
whether or not the claims made for
bituminous pavement are justified.
