Anthony Comstook has done good
work in keeping down real oifenses
against decenoy, but he is constantly
bringing bis society into disrepute by
such absurdities as the senseless raid
on the Art Students League of New

sort of business would be the raiding
of hospitals aud medical schools aud
the seizure of works on physiology
and anatomy whose illustrations are

HIS OWN CASE AN EXCEPTION
Spokesman -R review.

Spokesman Review.
Shall man who has constantly aud
vigorously denounced divorce be de-
barred by the public sentiment from
marrying divorced woman? This is
the problem which has created SEN
sational ruction in Chicago Congre-
gatioual church. The pastor, wild
over with three grown children, has
announced his engagement to the
woman who for some time time past
has been his secretary. This woman
secured divorce from her husband
last June because of inoompatibility.
The friendship between the pastor
and his secretary was noticed by
members of the church. but no one
seems to have thought that it would
lead to marriage.
Now that the announcement is sud-
denly made public, many of those
who have listened to the pastors fire.
quent and emphatic denunciations of
divorce are shocked that be should
apparently contradict himself in mar
rying divorced woman. The fact
that the woman is a daughter of one
of the trustees of the church and of
estimable character does not tend to
lessen the objections of that portion of
the church membership which has
imhibed to the full extent the doc
trines of the marriage relationship ex-
pounded from the pulpit. Il would
seem that the pastor has preached too
we'll against recognized evil. not
realizing the peculiar circumstances
that might arise in his own case.
He may argue that. as there is no
rule without an exception, his case
may reasonably be accepted as a pro-
per exception to the general line of
conduct which he advocates for others.
At all events. he does not propose to
be swerved from his present intention
of marrying, even if no has to resign
his pastorate in order to prevent a
split in the church. 1t is something
to bis credit that he has affected

You can always tell whether a man
10 married or single when you see him
go through screen door, says the
Wellington KAN, News. 1t he is
married he approaches the door eau
tiously, glances around nervously,
then takes off his hat and swipes it
up and down the door two or three
times. He then quietly opens the
door about two inches, squeezes him
self through and closes it with quick
snap. The length of time he has been
married may be determined by the
degree of fear and nervousness indica-

ATHENA, ORE, AUGUST II, 1906

The wheatsales day in Pendleton
Wednesday was again marked fail
ure, as was the previous one. Some
25, 900 sacks of wheat was offered for
sale, but there were no buyers present
to bid on the grain. Today in Athena
there is also salesday, and from in
dications this morning there will be
no bids made on the grain to be offer
ed for sale. For the apparent studied
indifference on the part of grain deal
ers regarding these salesdays, there is
evidently reason, which, il they felt
so disposed, perhaps could be explain
ed from the head offices at the termin-
al points. There is evidently an un-
derstanding existing between the big
wheat shipping companies, and the
seller does not need the use of mi
croscopic lense to see that the under
standing is being lived up to. In
dications would seem to justify the
statement of leading wheat raiser,
when he said that a combine exists
and when market quotation is given
out, the different companies will not
bid above the price quoted. The gen.
eral result of this understanding can
be nothing more than only the market
price will he paid for wheat, whether
on a salesday or any other day.

National Irrigation congress will be

clamation.
"The National Irrigation congress is
doing a great work." he writes in his
letter to each of the delegates, "in
creating sentiment throughout the
country for the reclamation of large
areas of waste lands"
William E. Smythe, the gifted writer
and talker, who is perhaps more near
ly responsible than any other one
man for the organization of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress at Salt Lake
in 1891 while acting as editor of the
Irrigation Age at Denver, is again
bringing his pen to bear upon the
need of such an organization, empha-
sizing the good that it has done in
the past, and the Immediately greater
good that it is possible for it to ac-
compnSn IN the future.
The citizens of Deadwood, S. D., are
planning to send a large delegation
to the National Irrigation congress, at
Boise, September to 8, bringing with
them an invitation to the congress to
hold the fifteenth annual session in
the Black Hills metropolis.
