would have more than a fighting
chance to brace up and become
sober, useful citizens.
1t is possible prohibition has
been help in both these direc-
tons, but it has not done the
whole work. Before temptation
lis eliminated from the path of
young men, before the chronic
is saved from his long fixed habit
something else must be done.
AS yet prohibition does not pro-
hibit. No one charges that the
law is not really and truly a pro-
hibition law. No one believes
the law is not honestly and faith
fully enforced by those charged
with its enforcement, yet it does
not prohibit. If any doubt this
let him put his observation
glasses on and move around for
a few days and evenings. He
will probably see no liquor of
any kind whatever, nor even see
a single person going through the
motions of drinking, but he can
hardly fail to see young men,
some of whom are beardless boys
who certainly are yet minors, in
a state of maudlin inebriety. He
will also see old chronics mellow
and happy. 1t is quite certain
that the most honest believer in
prohibition who will do as sug-
gested will admit that prohibition
does not prohibit. What must
be done? Shall the saloon be re-
stored? Surely not. Can the
law be more strictly enforced?
We think not. Yet it remains
that something more is necessary
to reach the ends to which, it
was alleged the law would carry
us.
The law was set in operation
in this city largely through the
efforts of the churches here and
it may we'll be assumed that they
will not give over their efforts to
accomplish the things which the
of US hoped might be
compassed by the prohibition
law. Since it is evident the law
must be supplemented by some
other instrumentalites it is prob
ably the churches may supply |
them. True, we have not learn
ed that there is any effort making
to that end, but as there are quite
a dozen different sects in Corval-
lis all engaged more OF less ac-
lively in the work Of saving men
it is fair presumption that such |
efforts will be made.
Earnest, patient, persistent
work may be required, but the
good shepherd never ceases his
efforts until the last wandering
sheep is safe within the fold.
So, brethren, because these
wandering ones will not go to
7ou to be saved, you must carry
to them.

CANNOT BE DONE


that men cannot be reformed,
made good by legal enactment.
It would be a far more expedl-
tious and less expensive way.
The Few, the elect few might
then frame law and the su-
preme power in the state would
then approve and publish it and,
presto! all men are good. Men
with half-hearted purpose of
reformation might join in a petit
ton to "the powers that be, :"
the powers which, St. Paul says,
''are ordained of God, for the
enactment of a law which would,
in spite of their weak purpose,
at once transform them, fit them
for the kingdom of heaven.
Away back in their history
men tried this plan but it was a
failure. It has been tried again
and again but has always ended
in failure. 1t is being tried in
many places at present but evi
dences multiply that, as ever
heretofore, it is a dismal failure.
The plan is mans plan, not
natures or Gods if you will, and
for that reason alone it must
fail. The only successful way
to reform men, to lift them up
to higher levels of life, thought,
purpose and action must be fitted
to and directed upon the indi-
viduals.
1t is slow, wearisome work, re-
quiring the cooperation of the
individuals. In truth a mans
reformation must be largely his
own work. Friends may SYM
pathize with him because of his
struggles. and failures, but they
can do little more. He may have
to go, with aching limbs and
bruised, bleeding feet along
thorny paths, but he must go
alone. 1t is Natures decree that
it must be so, and who shall say it
is not better so? We domen wrong,
weaken rather than awaken and
develop their manhood when we
have them hope for reform
through the agency of legislative
enactment.
But why should men, whether
few or many, need moral renova-
tion at all? May it not be that
our whole system of training
during childhood and youth is
essentially wrong? 1t surpasses
belief that children who are
rightly trained should grow up
to become men or women who
must then be given a reform
ative training to fit them for life
and enable them to achieve its
grand possibilities.
Train up a child in the way
he should go and when he is old
he will not depart from it. - This
training or educational work
must begin with the child in the
cradle. Some of it, indeed,
should be prenatal. 1t must
develop courage, charity, un-
selishness, love of truth, horror
of dissimulation, scorn for hypo-
or sy and ultimately manly or
womanly independence, self
reliance and personal accounta-
bility for their actions. If these
and kindred characteristics are
developed in the child we shall
have men who, in the day Of trial
or temptation, shall stand firmly
and, with appraised head and
flashing eyes say, Il will not!
l am a man."
No law save that of early right
training will produce men and
women Of whom it may be said
they are made "a little lower
t han the angels.
