Chicago, April 5.--A political lorna
do yesterday overwhelmed one Of the
most ruggedly unique leaders In the
country. Incidentally the republican
party met defeat In q memorable EFFORT
to capture the mayoralty Of Chicago.
As direct result the city is officially
committed to a policy Of the quickest
possible cessation Of private franchis-
es for public utilities Municipal
ownership is especially threatening
street car lines valued high up in the
millions. The plurality for Dunno,
Democrat, was estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000 votes over Harlan.
In the city election two years ago
Harrison, Democrat, defeated Stewart,
Republican, by 1850 plurality. The
city however, was carried by the re-
publlcans In the presidential election
last fall by a plurality Of nearly 10000
Party lines and personalities Of
candidates were entirely forgotten In
this election" said Judge Dunno last
night. Municipal ownership was the
one great issue before the people Of
Chicago and the returns show very
plainly how the majority feel toward
the private ownership Of public utIli-
ties. It Is the greatest victory munich
pal ownership ever won in this coun-
try.

the campaign will be kept Chicago

DEATH RED REPENTENcE.

Rev. Luther ID. Manon, in the course
OF his sermon Sunday night made the
statement that he did not believe in
death bed repentences, and cited sew
eral cases upon which to base his argu-
mert. A man who has followed a
wicked life cannot be given glorious
immortality beyond the grave when on
his dying bed. If this were 50. there
would be no incentive for men to live
Christian lives. Upon this theory, a
man who has committed murder can
not be converted on the gallows and
sent to glory. In the minds of many
conscientious Christians, such an at
tempt at conversion is rank blasphemy.
The theory of some ministers has been
that a poor innocent man or woman,
who may not have committed wrong
in his or her life, is shot down on
the streets. The victim is consigned
to eternal torment with the damned,
while the murderer is converted on
the gallows and goes directly to the
pearly gates of the New Jerusalem and
is admitted to full and equal member
ship with the beautiful angels.
Rev. Mahon's sermon may not be
strictly orthodox, as viewed by some
Of the ministry, but 1t contains a heap
of good common sense which will ap-
peal to the public and give IT a better
opinion of Christianity and the gospel
Because our forefathers preached the
doctrine Of death bed conversion, or a
literal hell, is no reason why the same
doctrine should be followed in this en-
lightened age. A large majority Of the
rank and file of church members will
indorse Mr.. Mahon's views and give
him credit for being honest and sin
cere.
1t is evidence of the fact that every
person who desires home in heaven

Telegraph Stopped.

London, Feb. 6.-There is much
speculation caused here by the fact
that the Russian government on Mon
day assumed control Of the Siberian
telegraph lines from o'clock in the
morning until 4 in the afternoon. It
Is said to be the first occasion where
communication was stopped
since the war began.

The Tacoma Ledger published facts
and figures to show that the shipping
business of the sound Is increasing.
while the shipping business at Port
land and the Columbia river is de-
creasing. and there is no doubt Of the
correctness of the figures. 1t is an ad-
mitted fact that more ships are going
to the sound and fewer coming to the
Columbia river. But the sound cities
have worked in harmony and have had
a united press, together with the in
fiuence OF tbs Qregonian. which in
swoFhng against Astoria has driven
commerce to tAe sound The Portland
press have magnified sailor abuses
until ships are afraid to come. In Sc
attic and Tacoma nothing of the kind
exists, or If It does exist, it is not pub
lished. F1fteen years ago 100 ships
visited the Columbia river. This year
there has not been 20. Shipping is in
creasing on the sound and decreasing
on the Columbia river. Tacoma and
Seattle are peopled with wide-awake
energetic and enterprising people. Ore
