HILL WILL RETIRE.
Leader Of New York Democrats
Will Not Be In Politics
After January +.

F:sopus. y. Y. August 2o-Judgc
Parker refused to make any state
nlent or to give ont any expression OF
opinion today regarding David B.
Hills intention to retire from politi-
cal leadership OF his party in New
York on January first next.
1t is pointed out that Mr.. Hill let it
be known some time since that he
would accept no office under the ad-
ni1liStration if Parker should be
elected. and it is recalled that he said
he would retire year ago had it not
been for the fact that friends urged
him to remain in command OF the dem
ocratic forces in New York until after
the present presidential campaign.
1t is generally believed that Mr..
Hill will appear in the campaign only
on rare occasions. and that his
speeches at county fairs will cOnStl-
TUT his only work.
Judge Parker spent the day going
over his letter OF acceptance, which
is now nearing final completion.

many a reader Of those stirring events
that are taking place in Asia between
Russia and Japan.
Under the Arm rulership of the Jap.
anese Empress, 1t is not likely that
China will become involved. China
regards neither as a friend.
The coalation of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark in joint terms Of neu.
trality is very significant.
That would indicate that either
England or Germany-more likely the
latter-proposes to take a hand
against Russia.
The weaker nations unite to protect
themselves against the strife of those
mighty combatants.
The Russian navy will be destroyed
as fast as 1t is taken into the Asiatlc
waters, and Russia cannot desist
from sending her ships there.
Russia will never be able to land
an army or japanese soil, unless It is
done by mean Of flying machines,
end the Japs would find means to de-
stroy them as fast as they would light
on the ground.

II there is not the usual joint cam

though the Democrats are weakest in
that respect, having no paper but the

The matter is not yet settled, but
will have to be considered by the Re

when it meets about May LIST.
The Journal believes that the people
generally would prefer a joint can.

NO CHURCH AND STATE.

A church conference at McMinnyille
recently adopted practically a whole
political platform.
They did not say they would sup.
port any political party but they might
as well have said It.
To carry all their programs into
effect they would have to have control
Of every department of the govern.
ment.
Then they would have to have the
power of a czar and the wisdom Of
the Almighty to improve the govern,
ment as 1t now exists.
And yet these people that resolve
to do all these things are a mere
fraction of the Christian people of
the country-not one-tenth.
In all countries where the church
dominates the public policies. the
cause of the Christian religion is
weak and the government corrupt.
Russia is a type OF complete church.
and-state-a religious and political
despotism. Other European countries
are nearly as bad.
Political freedom and personal
liberty and liberty Of conscience exists
only in proportion as church and
state are completely divorced.
The world has been deluged in
blood in the past by the attempts OF
eeclesiastieal power to usurp the civil
authority.
But there are even alleged Christian
people who cannot read history to any
purpose and would restore the despot.

THE | HORSE.
(Albany Herald.)


Some interest has attached to the
proposition to sell the old horses be
longing to the Portland fire depart
ment. They have served for many
years and outlived their usefulness in
this strenuous work. But in their
time their service was we'll given.
and the faithful work of the years
has earned more than the privileges
of the sale block.
Every person of sense admires a
beautiful horse in the. strength and
beauty of his earlier days.
The saddest thing to a lover of the
horse is to see this noble animal in
his declining years sold for a trife
and condemned to a period of under
fed and overbeaten existence, when
green pastures and repose have by all
the laws of justice and fitness been
earned.
A great city can afford to do better
than this by its faithful horses.
While the capicity to enjoy living
remains these old horses should be
turned out in pasture. When they be-
gin to fail, the merciful blow that is
their end can be given.
The Idaho man who used dynamite
in such a case is perhaps a triie ad.
vanced in his thinking.
But the laws relating to cruelty to
animals are not enforced as they
should be.
Something ought to be done to pre-.
vent docking"
Sense and sentiment are doing much
to settle this question.
Sense and sentiment will do some
thing for the relief of the true old
horses, who are replaced in the nat.
ural order of things, but who should
not be given over to a dubious exist.
ence under the taskmaster who is
looking for a cheap horse. Sometimes
he is a Chinese. No Chinese ought to
have the right to drive a horse.
The Chinese idea is all wrong for
this purpose.
This noble servant of man is more
than a chattel, and in his declining
years is entitled to comfort and peace.

O THE CENSUS.

Some n signing himself "Candor"
prints the following in the Salem
Statesman about the proposed census:
your evening contemporary asserts
that there will be no official census of
Salem taken until 1910, and advocates
taking a bogus one now. The state
law provides for the taking of a cen.
sus of It's inhabitants in 1905. one
year from now, when an official cen.
sus OF Salem will be taken and pub.
llshed. What is the use of lying when
YOU cannot d~eceive?"
II the person writing the above
would sign his name like an honest
man he would probably be shown to
be a chronic kicker, who has had all
the benefits Of this community, and
lodged paying taxes all his life.
He will probably be found to be
some person who has drawn thou,
sands of dollars out Of the public
treasury, and has never encouraged
one step of progress in any direction.
The state Law. provides for taking a
census by the assessor in 1908, but,
as a matter OF fact and practice. such
a census has never been taken of cit
les or counties under the state law.
The assessor is not prepared 10
take such a census, and why should
the taxpayers of Marion county pay
for a census of any city, anyhow?
"Candor" m~lsrepresents intention.
ALLY In the above, as he conveys the
idea that a census will be taken of
this city by the assessor in 1906, wheA
the county court has ordered no such
expense Incurred.
II "Candor" win come out like a de.
cent person, who has the good Of tina
community at heart, and give his
name and street address, there Is not
a member OF the Salem Press Club
who can hold a candle TO him at lying,
What he fears Is an honest. com,
plote census OF Salem, and the revela,
tion that for the privilege OF making
money In the second city IN Oregon
ne has never returned anything but
