Wool Buyer Takes a
Gloomy View Of Market.

A. Vanderwart, western repre-
sentative of Brown q Adams,
one of the heaviest purchasers OF
native wool making this Terri
tory. who but recently left his
company's headquarters in Bos-
ton, passed through en- route to
Phoenix, where he will make his
headquarters during the wool
season.
Speaking of the wool market,
Mr.. Vanderwart was inclined to
take rather a gloomy view OF the
situation, so far as wool sales
and high prices were concerned,
but freely admitted that a reac-
tion might come before the sea
son was we'll on in Arizona.
"The market is somewhat i'm
proved on staple wools,' said
Mr.. Vanderwart, ION account OF
improved financial conditions.
Money is easier, and, in fact, the
evidences of the recent money
scare are rapidly disappearing
and things seem to be nearly nor
NAL. However | am afraid wool
will be down this year. Sixty
five percent of last years crop is
still in the hands ofthe wholesale
merchants in Boston today. They
can not sell 1t at a reasonable hg-
ure and are consequently holding
it and are n IT buying any new
stock. The demand for the staple
article, such as is grown in Utah,
Colorado and Arizona, is rather
light. The strong. long staples,
which are used for making wOrs-
ted goods, are a little more called
for, but it is worth from 5 to 712
per cent less this year than it was
last wear. The demand for the
lower grades has dropped from
% to 80 per cent. The demand
for wool of all kinds is rather
slow. The manufacturers have
not yet begun to turn out their
fall and winter goods for this sea-
son, and of course the call for the
STAPLE article is rather small.
This situation has, of course,
been brought about by the
recent panic; the small dealers
cancelling orders given to the
wholesalers; the wholesale mer-
chants in turn cancelling them
with the manufacturers. Just as
an evidence of the decline in prices,
| might cite one instance which
comes to my mind. This time
last year we imported a quarter
blood South American wool
which cost us from 81 to 4Ocents

VOTING Is DUTY OF
GOOD CHRISTIANS

New York, Sept 2O.-Churchgoers
should regard the exercise of the
franchise as religious function and
should vote in accordance with reli-
gious precepts on every matter in
volving a moral question either in the
issues at stake or in the personality
of the candidates, declares the Rev.
Charles f. Aked in the October num-
Der of Appleton's magazine. DR..
Aked Is pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church, OF which Governor
Hughes is a member. Further than
this, he asserts 1t is Just as much the
duty of a church member to attend
ward meetings and to vote at the
primaries as 1t is to take part in the
affairs Of his church or to cast a bal
lot in the election of n pastor.
According to DR.. Aked the prop
oston of regular church attendants
who frequently say away from the
polls on election day and who seldom
or never take part In primaries or To-
cal meetings for the election of dele
gates to conventions is larger than
among any other class. These delin-
auents, he holds. are as much respon-
sible for corrupt conditions of gov
ernment or the election OF unworthy
men to public offices as are the heel
ers who buy votes to accomplish this
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-09-22

result or the bar room hangers-on who
sell their ballots.
"The abuses that have arisen in the
past says the Appleton article,
from the interference Of the church
in politics have been due to the fact
that religion was made political in
stead Of polics being made religious,
Except under circumstances Of evtra-
ordinary moral pressure the churches
as churches cannot enter the arena Of
party politics. The church cannot
become n caucus. Only the projection
OF supreme moral issue can warrant
y clergyman in publicly taking a posi-
ton as a party man. He may be per-
mitted In his own heart to pray for
z party-if he Is satisfied that 1t is not
past praying for. But the church can
and should undertake n more import
ant function-one that underlies all
and government. The church cannot
compel in this day and generation. II.
II cannot inspire 1t is because 1t Is no
longer inspired and a church with
out inspiration is corpse which
people with decent regard TO health
should bury. The church must teach
that a Christian can no more neglect
the plain duties OF citizenship than
he can neglect to pay his debts. The
religious man who standy idly by and
sees American politics made a byword
for dishonesty is neither religious nor
4 man"
