SUFFER THE CHILDREN, ETC.

The Baptist World of Louisville is in high links
the reported of evangelical mission in New York
City during the recent months through the
dunn of gospel tent campaigns, and claims innumerable
souls for Christ resultant The World goes into
ecsaces and gives overoyous feelings because of
such showing
Aside from the psychology and pathology of any such
conversion the World must not take such matters
ousy Two thousand years have passed since the central
figure of Christianity supposed to be the earth, and
the world fourfhs pagan. With Christian influences
on the wane the outlook for total conversion is not very
rosy and if the Blade exert any influence upon the
issue the day of final Christian triumph will be consider
ably delayed.
From its column of slush and exuberance read the
following:
"a marked feature of the services this at many
of the has been the unusual attendance and interest
of boys and girls Five six hundred boys and girls
fairly overAowed the Swedish every night until the
committee substituted larger tent The interest of the
young people is most encouraging, lifetime service for
Christ of much greater value than that of deahbed
repentance"
So after ALL it is of counting chickens before
they are Matched Boys and girls yea, full five six
hundred of them brought the stool of repentance
and these have actually confessed Christ But what sad
commentary upon Christian effort Who guarantee
of the entire number years from now? Children with
half formed minds and intellect have been the prey of
the church advocates and still find them Boosting that
they can successfully preach to infants.

The restricted demand for woods
would be a reasonable excuse for
considerable anxiety in the Bos-
ton, New York and Philadelphia
markets, but for ihe fact that
there is a general belief that the
worst has been passed and the
next change will be improvement
in demand and stronger prices.
There era two particular rea-
sons for this hope and belief; first,
from the fact that manufacturers
have no large supplies of wool in
their warehouses, and secondly,
from the probable attitude of the
growers, who for two years have
been remarkably prosperous and
who will not easily capitulate at
the present price basis that is be-
ing talked of for the new clip.
Both reasons are logical. We
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1908-03-26

'annot see how it will be possible
or the manufacturers 10 run
through to the new clip woods with
out liberal purchasing from deal
ers' stocks, rs provision must be
made for the finishing up of tie
very unsatisfactory heavy weight
season with old woods. and it is
the finish of this same heavy
weight season that promises to
to give strength to the closing
weeks Of the old wool year.
The grower promises to stand
pat for the first part of the season
at least. He cannot, and does not
expect as much for his wool as he
received last year, but neither does
he expect a slaughter price. He
will hold out, and so will dealers
who have suffered severe losses for
the past two years, and the result
should be rapid house cleaning
of old woods along in April and
May when buyers are coming back
to the New York markets to buy
generously, unless signs fail. II
this buying develops, and there is
no price basis for new wool a reed
upon, AID it will be later than May
in our judgment before the new
p ice basis is fixed, manufacturers
must have large supplies of wool
or go out of business. In the past
when wool was actually needed for
consumption, there was very little
price dickering, and as we view
the situation, the price dickering,
if any, after the first of April will
be upon considerable higher
basis than at the present time

Immigrants came TO the United
Stats last year to the number oi
1,l24,S44. Estimates Of births Ia
the United States, based on avail
able statistics, place the number
anywhere from 100000 to S,000,-
600. The lack in many places of
systematic record Of vital statistics
makes it impossible to give definite
fgures.
Taking the lowest estimate, it is
evident that the population is be-
ing Increased much more rapidly
by births than by immigration,
and that The fears sometimes ex-
pressed lest native-born Amer cal s
may be outnumbared by aliens are
baseSess.
While many of the adult alier &
yearly arriving IN Il Is country may
divide their love between their
adopted and thtir native lands, the
millions of children who are born
here every year will grow up as

Figures as to the foreign inva-
sion look large when taken by
themselves, but when contrasted
with the home product there seems
no cause for fearing that substan-
tial Americanism is threatened.

SALOON-KEEPERS
APPLY IN DR0VES
Practically Every Dealer in
Richmond Wants License to
Continue Business.

That the mere increase in the liquor
tax from $3.50 to $500 will not force
smaller saloon-keepers out of business
was made plain yesterday when it was
learned that practically every dealer
In Richmond has applied for a new
license. There are more than ESQ bars
in the city. Under the Dabney law the
number will be reduced to $50, and
this rush Of applications means that
Judge Witt, of the Hastings Court. will
have difficult work in separating the
sheep from the goats. In this under
taking. however, he will have the rs.
sistance of the Police Commissioner

ers who have endeavored to conduct

dealer or another Will have no effect.
He has been flooded with all sorts Ct

stated repeatedly that they will have

Still at work. They are wasting time

Under a special ordinance the JET
ferson Hotel will be able to secure a

no license shall he granted where a
show is conducted in the same build
ing. The auditorium Of the Jefferson
