The raising of the debt of Brightlook
hospital which was announced in last
week S issue promises to make possible
another purpose of the association-a
larger Institution with a larger field to
serve. This will be of distinct
advantage to the whole section because
a large hospital equipped as only large
hospitals can be, in central and easily
accessible location can give to the public
better service than smaller and poorly
equipped hospitals scattered in different
locations. The promptness with which
the money was pledged also shows a
local spirit Of loyalty that promises a
more successful and prosperous future
for the institution

Port Byron, March 20.-Editor Ar
gus: In the current Sunday school
lessons we have a beautiful picture of
the apostolic church. Acts 2:44: As;
4:32:335. We understand that this
church was founded by the apostles;
that it's organizations and institutions
were their work We believe they
were chosen by the Master for this
very purpose; that they had enjoyed
His personal instruction; that they
were filled with the Holy Spirit"
We have been taught that they were
inspired, and we had right to eX-,
pect that they would set up the model
church, according to the will of the
Master.
! But we find that this particular ar
rangement was only temporary; that
| it did not work, and was soon aban-
doned. Are we to conclude that the
apostles misunderstood the teachings
of Christ; that they made mistakes
just as other people are liable to do?
And if they made a mistake in ar
ranging their social organism, would
they not make mistakes elsewhere.
and where is the end?
| Various explanations are given by
the lesson writer but they mostly
evade the main question. Either the
apostles were inspired, or they were
not. If they correctly understood the
teachings and were inspired by the
Holy Spirit, then a Christian socialis-
tic society is the correct thing. If
they did not understand, OF were not
divinely guided, what becomes of our
! religion?
To admit that the principle is cor
rect, but premature in its application,
would help to relieve the difficulty ;
/ but most authorities in social science
Irefuse to admit even that much. They
condemn the whole theory, and de-
clare il is forever overthrown by this
i first unfortunate experiment. Even
, men high in the church take this posi-
|tfon, seemingly careless Of the cloud
lthey thus throw over the foundations
of the Christian faith.
We .prefer~the opposite view; that
the. apostles understood to some -ex.
ltent. but correctly as far as they went
i the social teachings of Jesus; that
their mistake, II mistake it may be
! called was IN regarding these princi
Iples as or immediate application

mediately appear" whereas these
principles were seminal in their ma
ture-seed planting-desisned TO bear
fruit in after ages.
We believe that when the kingdom
of heaven, that Christ came to set up,
shall be established in the earth, these
principles, unity, unselfishness, broth
erhood, love, which were the distin-
gushing characteristics of the apos-
tolic church, will be the supreme laws
of the kingdom, and will find adequate
expression in social organisms and in
governmental systems.
The question for statesmen and so
cial scientists, therefore, is this {:

Disinterested persons return
ing from the Seattle exposition
are not at all backward in stat
ing that Idaho's exhibit there is
a disgrace to our state. The
money appropriated to be used
in gathering and maintaining an
exhibit there has probably been
squandered and the result is that
the exhibits from any one of
dozens of little county fairs
around our state would far out
class the state exhibit at Seattle.
1t is a shame that this should be
and the blame for such a condi-
ton of affairs should be made to
rest on the shoulders of those re-
sponsible for it, without regard
to how high or mighty they may
be.

The political bee still continues
to buzz and it is said by those
who claim to know that Burton
L. French's friends are at work
trying to effect a combination
that will land Mr.. French the
nomination for governor and re-
turn Col. Hamer to congress two
years hence. French may be a
trifle young for the position of
governor but its a cinch that he
would be a credit to Jim Brady
at any stage of the game. French
has plenty of common sense and
is not bothered with the swell
head, two attributes that will
prove valuable should he ever be
selected to fill the governors
chair.

Edmund B. Hill, aged 65, and

the crush at the Armory at Port
land Saturday night when Presi-
dent Taft delivered an address
to ten thousand people. Hill be-
came exhausted during the crush
and fell to the floor where he
was trampled upon by those
around him. 1t seems strange
that people of this country should
become so crazy over seeing a
leading citizen as to allow such
an occurrence -as the above to
take place-bu it is hard to say
to just what extremes this hero

men have no right to blame the
gentle sex for going "batty''

forget their manhood as to walk
on each other in trying to dc
