DOES NOT THIS PAPER PAY 2

The publication of the Pacific Chris tian Advocate, according to the test:' mony of elders and editors, has DO, through all of its more than forty years paid its way. That Is to say, 1t has through all of It's years been printed at stinancial loss. There is another note in this cry, however, note of tender ness born Of long association and Of ad' miration that is voiced by the spirit which comes down through the years sort of bene fiction upon the seli-deny' Ing effort by which alone the paper has been able to live through these strug- gliug years.
 It seems incredible that this faithful organ and exponent of the great Meth odls, Episcopal Church in the Pacific Northwest should always be in financial straits, always making a pItiiul plea for support, always tottering upon the verge of dissolution or absorption Though from a financial standpoint failure, who shall say thst the earnest effort made by the Advocate has no' borne the fair fruitsge of spiritual com fort to many hearts and done it's part ir keepiog the evidence of things unseer alive in many homes? We are so ac customed to hear that the Advocate 1! in straits that we are prone to forget the intangible yet real assets that art held to its credit in the life Of 8 wid' and eyer widening civilization in whici 1t has long borne its part.-Portlant Oregonian.
 To make paying newspaper thes' days it is necessary to strip it of al sentimentality; cater to no creed no fsvorite enterprise; adhere strictly l. the interests of the people, and give 1t readers all the news. The efforts o the Advocate were not along these lines yet they made for good, but it was no appreciated. Its loo bad.

ROUGH ON TAME RIDERS

President Roosevelt back in Wash ington after an energetic vacation al Oyster Bay, even before going on bis hunting trip has started trouble for those who admire the placid life. He has taken advantage of the absence of Secretary of War Tatt to be acting Secretary himself, for little while.
 An order has been issued that all staff officers of the United States army shall indulge in fitteen.mile horseback ride
 The idea is to determine whether they shsll continue to practice horse nanship in automobiles and carriages or really ride astride. The President having put the stamp Of his approval on the practice of women equestrians riding with one leg to port and one to s,arboard is determined to deny no privilege to the sterner sex that he ac- cords to athletic femipinity.
 Most Of the skilled tacticians of the general staff are said to be able to tell a horse from mule at first sight, but it is asserted that only their astral bodies have been in contact with good old Mcclellan tree, rswhide covered saddle ID these many years. They have been riding in the same msnner that the gallant mariner Crowninshield sailed-at roll top desk. It naturally follows that there Is no end of anxiety and fear of the future in the higher army circles,
 The tame riders are to stat early to- morrow morning. By evening there will be an unequaled demand in Wash lngton for witch hazel, arnica and half soles.

pursuant to the recently enacted Lusk

court In Washington and Baldwin coun-

Why this change was made no one
seems to know. This bill was signed on
March 9Th and went into effect imme-
diately. Circuit court for Washington
county convened on March A. under the
old law and was In session until March
8. This Lusk bill now brings up the
question as to whether the acts of that
court were or are not valid.
There were two negroes sent to the

it may be that they are illegally in the

pool Cables Better Than
Expected.
BETTER FINANCIAL TON

New York, March 26-The cotton mar
ket was quiet today, but ruled steadier
and closed very steady at an advance of
estimated at 10000 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
of to 10 points on covering in response
to higher cables and a better feeling in
the stock market. The weather map was
considerably better, as the indications
were for wet weather in the southwest
in the near future, and receipts were
heavy. but it looked as If considerable
scattering short interest had been created
on the recent decline. Offerings were
light and the market continued steady to
firm during the entire session on cover
ing of shorts. The nigh point was reached
late in the day when May sold at 9.52e,
July at $500 and October at 9.S7c. and the
close was at practically the best.
Southern spot markets were generally
unchanged With Friday and Saturday
holidays in the local market the trading
was considered to be largely In the way
of the evening up of narrow market,
which had been rather heavily sold by
bearish professionals during the past two
or three days.
This and the better tone of affairs in
financial circles was supposed to explain
the advance of the day, as there was lit
tie sign of support from the big bull
leaders Liverpool cables that recent
sellers were buying there and cables were
several points better than expected. Re-
ceipts at the ports today 1920 bales,
against 36,151 last week and 29,lS0 last
