Praised BY The Governor.

Miss Ella McKinnie, who is cor
responding secretary of the Christ
ian Endeavor of the Evangelical
church, read before that society last
Sunday the following letter from the
governor of Oregon:
STATE OF OREGON
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
SALEM, February twenty.
DEAR Miss McKINNrE:
take pleasure in extending to
the members of the Keystone
League of the Christian Endeavor
of the Evangelical church of ST..
Johns the hope that the meeting
shortly to be held by them may
prove both pleasant and profitable.
! believe that this society and those
of a kindred nature organized for
the purpose of bringing the young
into closer communion and fellow
ship for the purposes Of good are
most potent factors in the state for
a better and more patriotic citizen
ship. The greatness of a state or
nation depends upon an enlightened
citizenship, and all that tends to
this enlightenment ought to receive
the hearty support and encourage
ment of all.
Again wishing you and your
society success, have the honor to
remain,
Yours very respectfully,
GEORGE a. CHAMBERLAIN,
Governor of Oregon.

TIL; ONLY WAY.

IN selecting the tickets To b,
voted upon next month in the city
election il would be well ii the
council would make a ruling that
the question of license or no license
be voted upon Separately--ratheI
than have tickets made mp of those
who are pledged to support one or
the other OF the two measures.
by adopting the former method
there may be secured better men
for the positions than il the latter
method is followed. Too often il
is the ease in small cities that "a
man is selected as a candidate not
because he is peculiarly fitted for
the place but because he will vote a
certain way when certain matters
come before the legislative body,
Each "side" feels bound to vote
lor any old fossil who will consent
To run because on the license ques-
tion he has expressed himself; aud
in that way there has resulted, too
frequently, a gang of sticks,
If the question can be voted upon
by itself the result is better
governed community.

LOWER FOREIGN
POSTAL RATES.

The congress of the international
postal union, which has been In Sos
sion at Rome practically completed
it's labors ON May 22. The congress
has inaugurated several changes
which directly affect the public, and
the most important OF these is the re-
duction OF the rates of foreign pos
tage for heavy letters. Not only has
the unit for weight been raised from
. to 20 grams, but the postage has
been decreased as well from FIVE cents
TO three cents for each unit of weight
in addition to that constituting the
first charge.
AS the Anglo Saxon countries do
not use the decimal system, these
changes will be even more favorable
TO them than to those which use the
system, for the British delegates sue
ceeded In obtaining the ounce as the
unit equivalent To- 20 grams, while
as matter Of fact an ounce is In
excess OF 2S grams. Unfortunately
the British and japanese proposals
for reduction OF the initial rate to
four cents failed. Universal penny
postage advocated by New Zealand
was not considered practicable.
Other important changes were lnstl-
tuted relative 10 the internationali-
zation OF the right to use the left
hand portion of the address side Of
picture post cards for writing other
than the address, and the use of post
cards having an attached reply cou-
pom.

OIL MEN WANT
PROTECTION.
Extra Session of Ohio Legislature
Asked for by Fighters Against
Monopoly.

The Cleveland Leader said yester-
day. An extra session of the Ohio
Legislature is asked by the indepen-
dent oil men Of the state. A formal
request for the issuance OF the
special call is being prepared for Gov.
Pattison, while letters bearing on the
subject are to be sent out from
Cleveland to every member of the
Legislature. Should the special ses-
sion bee called, the independent oil
men will urge the enactment of two
laws which they deem necessary to
insure them fair play as against the
Standard oil Company. The FIRST is
the anti-discrimination law now in
operation in Kansas and Iowa The
second is the maximum freight law
which has enabled the independent
oil operators in Kansas to obtain
equal rates from the railroads thus
placing them on the same competi-
tive basis as the vast combine.
