CLEAN PoLITIcs AND A REsPoN
sIBLE ADMINISTRATION.

The American people like clean poll
ties. This is true in city, state and ma
tional affairs. There was a time when
campaign canards had their weight,
but the voters have learned the lesson
and are 10th to believe every trumped-
up story that is circulated on the eve
of an election.
American politics have been raised
above tho mere personality of this or
that candidate. He may be good fell
low, but if his principles are against
good, clean government, or if he is with
out well-defned principles, he is an
unlucky candidate.
The strenuous man is the man of the
hour, The man who is not afraid to do
what he thinks is right without "keep-
ing his ear 10 the ground" for effect,
is the man the people admire, and want
for every Office from poundmaster to
president.
The active man makes enemies, He
doubtless will by crossing the well-laid
plans of the "powers, but he is more
admired, even by his enemies for his di
rect and pointed course. The man who
dallies with issues at this day and age
is without force, and fails as an official.
The Republican party is the only or
ganization offering ticket to the cleo
tors of Salem at the present time. The
Independent candidates for the various
offices may be good men, but they lack
n definite policy, In other words they
are merely after tho Office, for the time
being, and would not expect future pre-
ferment as Independents. Candidates
must ally themselves with one party
or another II is as natural as the vot.
ers themselves become members Of a
party and participate in conventions,
meetings and the various forms of party
organization.
The Independent is a desirable
quantity in political affairs, when he
is an Independent for definite pur.

No philosophy, no theory, no art,

The Indifferent bridegroom.

Dr. Grenfell on Labrador, in Leslie s
Monthly Magazine for December.
The absence of all cOnventionalities
and restrictions in Labrador is also
very refreshing. A peripatetic minis
ter was called on at a place known as
Spotted Islands to marry a couple who
were awaiting a chance for the cere-
mony. The bridegroom was an elderly
man, who was a kind of king in the
place. When the minister arrived at
the island he found all the islanders as
sembled in the little school room await
ing him. 1t was not until he actually
entered the building that he discovered
that the bride was the deceased wife 8
sister. This being forbidden relation
ship, he refused to proceed, whereupon
the intending bridegroom remarked;
"Never mind" mister" One of these
others will do" So, turning to the ex-
pectant crowd, he selected suitable
partner, and she being will in, can went
as gaily as a marriage bell"

There is one thing about the hop

Religious Thought
From Our Exchanges.

If every public officer were really
Christian, if every employer and every
laborer were really Christian, if
every merchant, every householder,
every man, woman and child were
really Christian, of course the king
dom of heaven would not be far away.
If that is true, then the sensible
thing to do is to make Christians just
as fast as we can, and in proportion
heaven approach the earth. The point
of all this is that the most vital ele:
ment of life today, from the standpoint
of the world itself, is religion, for if
there is any truth in the observations
of pessimists who find conditions so de-
plorable and hopeless, it is because re-
ligion has been pushed into the back
ground while we experimental like our
brethren of olden time in Egypt, in
making bricks without straw; we have
the clay and sand and water, needed
properties, but nothing to hold them
together.
The chief need of the world today is
religion; we need it in our officials, high
and low; we need it in our voters; we
need it in our rich and poor; we need
it in our stores and factories; we need
il on our streets; we need it in Office
and study and studio; we need it in
society; we need it in the newspapers
and in our literature; we need it in our
amusements; we need il in our schools
and colleges; we need it in our homes;
wc need il most of all in our churches.
The Universalist Leader.
We make great mistake when we
think that Christianity has won its way
in the earth because its preachers have
been such strong logieians. The secret
of its power and its triumph has been
that it has actually done something for
men in the transformation and re-crea
tion Of the inner life of thought, de-
sire and purpose. 1t has brough peace
and strength and life. No matter how
much diseredit skeptics throw upon
documents, so long as men by follow
ing the directions of those documents
come TO spiritual experience that
puri6es and expands and vitalizes their
souls. Christianity is unassailable, and
the spiritual experience reflects back
a new aud strong evidence upon the
documents.
But, it is said, this spiritual expe-
rienee is only valid for the individual
soul that shares it. 1t cannot be inn
parted to another. That is certainly
true But it is also true that the soul
that is born from above bears a wit
ness 10 the truth in the certainty aud
intensity of its conviction that is Of
the highest moment in prOpagating its
own convictions. Carlyle truly says:
"SOul is kindled by soul, and to teach
religion the one thing needful is to find
a man who has religion. The Watch
man.

MEMORY WAS POOR.
Rodecker Fails to Identity Prisoner in
MinneapoIiS.

mtUuCaPOUSs
Charles Dodecker, the young man who
was "frisked" of his watch in Minneap-
oils during the state fair, has returned
to Mankato. He went to Minneapolis
several days ago to identify the robber
who took the watch. When he reported
the theft to the police, detective ac-
companied him upon his search for the
robber, and he was able to identify him
half a block away. The man escaped,
but was subsequently arrested, and
Rodecker was sent for to identify him
in court, so that he could get his just
deserts. Rodecker did not appear very
anxious to go.
When Rodeck9r reached Minneapolis
he went to the police station, and was
surrounded by half dozen of the
friends of the prisoner, who seem to
have befuddled him by some means or
other, for when brought face to face
with the prisoner he said that he was
not sure that he was the man. The pO-
lice officials were disguised. The pris-
oner was discharged, and Rodecker was
told that he could take his complaints
somewhere else the next time he was
robbed in Minneapolis.
The police were very anxious to con-
Wet the prisoner, as he had been sus-
pected of implication in other holdups,
but always managed to elude the Off
Gals.

First Frost Comes.

The first frost of the season occurred
last night. Early risers found board
walks frost covered The temperature
fell to thirty three degrees. The frost
was not a heavy one, but it was enough
to kill the more tender plants and vege-
tables. What effect it will have on corn
is doubtful. No more frost is likely to
occur for some days.
