INTERESTING LECTURE SUNDAY
Rev. Arthur Vosburgh Will Speak On
Christian Science.

The lecture on Christian Science
next Sunday afternoon by Rev. Ar
thur Reeves Vosburgh, at the Keylor
Grand. will give those interested an
opportunity to learn something of the
truth about Christian Science, what
if has to offer as a practical religion
or the solution of today's problems
and the meeting of today's needs.
If he teaching Of Christian Science
appears hard to believe because Of its
radical departure from old-time theo-
ries it should be examined in the
light of what is being accomplished
through the practice of this teaching.
f11ll Justice cannot be done Christian
Science in any other way. Does Il az
leviate suffering when other means
eaii9 Does il make men better moral
1r9 Does il bring freedom from the
narnlexities. worries, ard fears of hu-
man existence? Does it make men
purer. kinder, more just, less selfish?
IF if does these things one can well al
ford to suspend the judgment or me
criticism which may be prompted by
mere cursory examination, and look
mere deeply into that which brings
oeace and strength to others. Indeed
axneriance is the only satisfa ctory
test of he worth of any teaching. This
ecture will afford an opportunity for
-.npreiudiced investigation of the
subject.

Great Portland Paper For
sakes Republican Party
WILL WORK FOR ROOSEVELT
HAS BECOME TIRED OF FAC
TIoNAL FIGHTS RESULTING
IN ELECTION OF DEMO-
Gratis TO OFFICES.

PORTLAND, Nov. 29.-In an editor
ial this morning, the Portland Oregon
ian announces the formal divorce of
the organ from the ranks of the re-
publican party and declares that in the
future the paper will adopt the policy
Of being independent from any party
atfiliations. Should Roosevelt be re-
nominated the Oregonian states it will
support him, but as to any other pos
sibiity the paper remains silent.
In part the editorial says:
The Oregonian has done what it
could to support the republican party
in oregon. Republicans have not re-
sponded. They can now and hence
forth support the party themselves, If
they desire to do so. Like Romeo at
the play, the Oregonian will be can
die holder and look on. 1t is tired Of
the effort to appeal on principal po-
ltical social, financial, national, and
historic, to men who don't care for
ANYTHING of the kind but are actuated
merely by selfish piques, petty desires
and trifing prsonal ambitions. Should
pressure upon Roosevelt compel him to
be a candidate again the Oregonian
will support him. Beyond that the
Oregonian has no announcement to
make It can be as independent as
any of you who have given this state
and city over to the democratic party.
The republican idea in Oregon is that
there should be no party in Oregon
but the democratic"

then return here to speak before the
civic forum on graft and democracy

that the recent election in San Eran-

confidence which had been wavering,

Mr.. Langdon said that the Japanese

Teachers Appeal to Board
Of Education
CANNOT SELL WARRANTS
WITH EXCEPTION OF FIVE ALL
INSTRUCTORS SIGN PETITION
IN FACE OF suPERINTEN-
DENTS OBJECTIONS.

While the financial stringency has
not effected businessoto any great ex-
tent in Wolla Walla it appears that
there are some people who are suffer-
ing to certain extent on account of
the high rate of interest demanded fR
money. At the present time those in
dividuals are the school teachers who
are unable to dispose of their six per
cent warrants.
Last Saturday many of the teachers
in Walla Walla spent several hours
trying to dispose of their warrants.
Some of them succeeded by appealing
to friends, others accepted discounts
and many still have their pay checks.
At recent meeting of the school
board the matter was brought TO the
attention of the directors but action
was postponed At meeting of the
principals of the different schools the
question was brought up but no action
taken because City Superintendent
Jones thought such procedure un-
warranted.
Superintendent Objects.
Early this week a petition was cir
culated by the teachers asking that
the school board take the matter UP
and, if possible, give the teachers some
relief. Before the petition waS pre-
sented to the teachrs, however, each
one was warned by the principal OF
the school in which he or SHE was
teaching, that Superintendent Jones
did not favor such action, This ap-
parently had some influences with few
but it is stated that every teacher I'm

grabs that it was only polkadot on

With interest rates as high as they

to dispose of their warrants without
accepting a sufficient DISCOUNT to bring.

ed for money. and this Is thought to
be not altogether fair. The teachers
are not asking for n raise Of wages,
neither have they directly asked To
have the interest on the warrants
raised so they can dispose Of them.
but they have asked the board To take
some action looking toward providing
some means Of realizing on their pa
