Let Convicts Build Roads.

County Judge Lionel Webster
spoke very encouragingly about
the plan to build macadamized
road from Portland to the Calf
ornia line by convict labor, at a
meeting of the Christian Union
at the First Unitarian Church
Chapel Thursday evening, says
the Oregonian. His subject was
Efficiency of Convict Labor for
Building Roads. The Christ
ian Union is philanthropic
organization and all the members
who were present last night were
very much interested in the ad-
dress.
Judge Webster began with the
very first agitation to have the
convicts employed TO build a
road across the state. He told
of the commission he had been
appointed to investigate the feasi-
bility of the proposed project,
and said that all the members
were in favor of the construction
of the road. He said that a bill
weuld be presented at the next
Legislature to provide for the
use of the convict labor for this
purpose. and he has very high
hopes that it will become a law.
He spoke of the great advanta-
ges of the road, saving that it
would be great attraction for
tourists and that it would be very
convenient for the farmers. He
added that if this road was built
it would be such a success that he
thought before many years the
state would be interlaced with
similar highways built by con-
vlct labor.
He laid stress on the fact that
if the convicts were worked on
the road they would in no way
come in competition with free
labor. as they would be
working at something which
otherwise would not be done.
He said the labor element was
very much in favor of the project,
and would do all within its
power to carry it through to a
successful conclusion.
Besides, Judge Webster
thought outside work was benef-
cial to the convicts from
humanitarian standpoint, was
better than keeping them confn-
ed in the Penitentiary. He
thought the convicts who refused
to work should be starved into
submission. Judge Webster has
taken great interest in the work
of helping the convicts and Grim
inals to help themselves. but is a
firm believer in discipline.

will be found in another column, asking that
the Assembly appoint an annual collection to be
taken in behalf of the educational institutions

of the overture Dr. Cecil brings to our attention
the loss that has been sustained in not having
the entire church united in support of her edu-
cational institutions in the past, and the inn

cooperation of our people throughout the

every owner should be required to place his

objection was urged that this might frighten
horses and children worse than the machine
itself would do. An unfecling autoist is said to

Do any of our readers want to know just
where they may make an investment, and
one that will bring long and large returns?
Let the CENTRAL say that just a gift or
subscription to the funds of Union Theological
Seminary is an opportunity for rich profits for
the Church of Christ through long years to
come, the use of which will carry blessing across
the continent and far away across the seas The
Seminary has larger assets in real estate than
ever in its history. But the rates of interest
on invested funds have decreased, and the an
nual income is below the wants of the Seminary,
and there is embarrassment in the work of this
institution, most highly esteemed and most
fruitful through many years

Sometime in the summer of next year the
Worlds Sunday-School Convention will be
held in the ancient and imperial city of Rome
The last meeting was in Jerusalem, the birth
place of the Church of Christ; and Rome is
the city in which the Church fought and won
its most notable triumphs Here it suffered
its most terrible prosecutions, and here it passed
under the despotic sway of the autocratic Church
of Rome. 1t will be an event of great signif-
cance, when the church, free, enlightened, pros
porous, world embracing, goes back to Rome
in a convention of those who work for the study
of the open Bible in all languages.

But the mountain people, even those who
dwell and climb on Alpine heights, need the
gospel of Gods grace to men, as well as those
who dwell in city streets and swarm in city
sIums. Not all that the silence and sweetness
of the mountain can do, not all Tie appeal Of
the peaks that 60 up into the blue, can bring
a sinful man back to God. 1t is the voice Of
Gods love through Christ and Him crucifed
that reaches the heart alone It is the mission
OF the Church of Christ to 90 up into the noun

persuade it to find the purity and peace it needs

One night last week we fell asleep in car
in the city, down in the low country, where no
mountain is And in the morning we awoke
far up and away in deep valley in the South
West The train went sweeping and curving
up the grades among the hills, with glimpses
of far off mountain tops. The green slopes
near by we're radiant with patches of the stars
of red flowers; among the green trees the white
dogwood CLEANED, and from the upper slopes
the bright streams of water came plunging
down. 1t was dream to close the eyes in TIE
city, and to wake up in the silence and sweet
ness of the great mountains.

Robert Louis Stevenson has lines about 'the
essential silence that cheers and blesses" in the
recesses of the mountains You are away from
the confusion and noises of the restless CITY, 'far
from the madding crowds ignoble strife"
And amid the great mountains are peace and
quiet, silence that gelongs to lofty majesty
rest that is like to that on the everlasting
hills. Not the work of man. but the greater rest
of God dwells on the high mountains Not the
transient movements of human effort but the
mightier movements of winds and rivers. of
Gods light and peace are on the quiet hills
One would think that a man would be better
for living on the mountains He is far removed
from the many evils that grow where men are
gathered in crowds. He breathes a sweeter,
purer air He has time for higher thoughts
and has the constant help of suggestions that
point upward. One would expect him to be
conscious that heaven is nearer; and that it
would be so natural and so easy for him to be
saying morning and evening, 'T will lift up
mine eyes unto the hills whence cometh my
help"
