REMARKS:
The past year has been year of
MISUNDERSTANDING. financially,
socially, and morally. Politically: One
political party seemed to have millions
OF voters more than necessary to sue
cess, while the other had millions of
voters too apathetic or careless to ex-
ercise their rights in choosing the ma.
tion's servants" (?) Financially: Mil.
lions of dollars were spent, uselessly, in
selecting those servants" Socially:
The line separating the poor from the
rich Is stronger, palmer and broader
than ever before. Morally: What can
we say here? Little peccadillos, plen-
IIui as tuey are are enIlTely lOSJ SlRnt
Of in view of stealing millions; forging
obligations for millions, murders and
outrages galore, and, are treated by the
great newspapers as mere items ofnews.
But God reigns. and the Cross of Je.
sus is still in evidence. In many pa
gan lands where only very few years
ago the followers of the Prince of Peace
did not dare to lift up this Banner, now
20 boldly among the heather, proclaim
ing the gospel of Jesus with great sue
cess, Although darkness seems to
cover that part of the moral world
where Christianity ought to be the most
powerful, yet day will soon dawn up
on US brighter and more beautiful than
ever before.
A happy New Year to all is the wish of

To wear smile cen when tears be

To find fair blooms from hast years
brown leaves springing,
Upon your wuy;
To reap the worth of deeds gone ny
that left you
\ bit more gray,
A bit more strong to live and love
with others
From day to day.
In fruitful fields may Time think wise
to give you

With love of home and friends to
twine about you
MAY this year start
Blue skies to cheer, and peace of
God to guide you.

We are inclined TO think, neverthe-
less, that his most important accom-
plishment is his last in which, as Sir
Galahad. he attacks the Standard Oil
group of financiers i'm newspapers
and in Everybody's Magazine This
side of his activity should be envis-
aged in contrasting parts. 1t is to be
remembered that after his attacks
send copper down In Wall street, Mr..
Lawson buys, and is credited with
making million dollars out of one
recent onslaught.
Therefore we can not recommend
him to the many thousand lambs who
seek prophets to guide them, through
gambling. TO sudden wealth, They
may be pinched where he grows rich,
and he will give them the most vir-
tuous of reasons for the incident.
But with all this. Lawson is doing
some good. He brings some discredit
on more honest investigators, but he
is whetting the public conscience,
and, mixed with his inventions, is
much information that an ordinary
critic could not get.
"Is Lawson a fraud, or useful
witness who has turned states evil
dence?" one of our readers asks. We
answer, both; and natural optimism
leads us to believe that his contribu-
tions to our knowledge of dishonest
American finance outweigh in lasting
import the effects of his distorting
iluridness of the havoc which he raises
with innocents who think they can
gain wealth by following his adver-
tisements
As a gambler observed in st. Louis
credit is that he has done something
toward destroying the permanent
market for gold bricks in the United
States.

II is costing the people of Oregon
about $500 per day to enjoy the lux
ury of factional deadlock I'm the
state senate. There are hundreds of
matters of vital importance to the
state. which are cast aside for the
partisan program. What does 1t
matter to the people of Oregon. at
large. whether Kuykendall, Carter or
Bill Jones is president of the senate?
The people do not elect legislatures
for the purpose of furthering private
political aims and regulations. 1t is
all the more lamentable, when it is
realized that there is no possible eN-
cuse for any hindrance to the regular
business of the legislature The party
should be able to meet peaceably and
transact the business of the people,
since 1t has been chosen as the gov
ernimg power, If there was AN even
division between two opposing parties
and the principles were directly op-
posed. there would be some excuse
for a prolonged struggle but in this
case, there is none. The party in
power is just simply sacrificing the
interests of the state for personal am
b!tions.
