The Baptists were happy last night
at the banqueting room of the Eagles

ditions 12O sat down to supper at Z
O'Clock. The occasion was their an
nual roll call. When Clerk J. w.
Welles read the names Immediately
after the feast there were many re-
sponses. Some who could not be there
sent letters or verses to be read. "The
feed" was one long to be remember
ed for its abundance of good things
The chicken pie was the dish of hon
or, and meats and salads and all the
other goodies kept the pie from SEEM
ing lonesome,
After supper the pastor, Rev. r. E.
Storey, introduced the POSTMASTER, r.
H. Wilcox. who presented the speak
ers with many a humorous shaft that
kept the listeners in the best of hui
NOR.
The first speaker was Miss Mary
Quick, who explained conditions that
would exist IF there Were No Young
People" She showed the important
place they occupied in the church.
Prof Welles followed. giving in tones
that showed his sadness. the reason
"Why Am So Sad" The reason was
that so many perches were vacant as
result OF the good chicken pies
there before them. This humorous
speech was closed by an apostrophe
to a drumstick, which Mr.. Welles held
up in sight of all.

tor of the church just a year and urg.
ed that all be "after the year before

it that it had for those who went "af-

Mr.. a. F. Eddy told in a very enter
tanning way of some of the annual
meetings of the churches around the
parison was extremely favorable to the
Pendleton Baptists. In presenting his
subject the postmaster gave the tip
to some of the invited guests from
other denominations that st. Peter
would not let them in, if they. would
''just come around to the Golden
Gate" we Baptists will let you in"
The closing resonse was from Rev.
A. NJ. Meldrum, who spoke "a Word
From a Neighbor." His Scotch dia-
lect stories were greatly appreciated.
After a delightful expression of fell
lowship bubbling with wit and humor
and reference in some detaih to the
noble history of the Baptists, he elo-
quently urged Christian union on the
basis of the truth as revealed in Jesus
Christ through the New Testament.
This is according to the prayer of Je-
sus Christ, he said. His words found
hearty response in the hearts of his
hearers. Their applause showed the
mind that they love maintained in all
their history Loyalty to the Word Of
God as the only rule of Faith and
Practice"
Much of the pleasure of the evening
was due to the excellent music from
Bessrs, Landers, Owen, Groenwald

were called back and each time they
responded with selections or comic
that delighted all.

The Tariff Question.

Editor TIE Washington Herald;
Below you viii find the homely senti-
ments OF an ordinary citizen on the work
ching enacted by the Legislature Of the
United States on the tariff
Our representatives, in deciding the
schedules for the new tariff with which
they propose 10 burden the people. have
lost sight OF an apparent fact. known 10
many intelligent citizens. that certain OF
our great national assets have been so
wasted as TO threaten their extinction.
These assets include timber. coal, and
the peoples stock OF patience. or conf
dence in their representatives. This last
valuable asset has been lost TO the people
at large by the manner in which their
rightful demands for reduced tariff rates
have been met by Congress. and in so
acting they bring themselves face 10
face with the wrath Of the people, which
they will have to face at the next cleo
ton.
The high price Of timber makes it i'm
possible for the poorer class Of people
10 build their own homes.
The high tariff rates on timber and coal
boost up the prices Of the products by
preventing competition Then, again, our
representatives seem % have forgotten
the meaning Of the terms essentials"
and '-luXuries." and. by keeping Up the
rates on the essentials have made
them the '1uxuries." and. vice versa.
/ by lowering the rates on ''luxuries" made
them the essentials very queer
state Of affairs. Our representatives have
so little difficulty in earning their wages
as 70 forget others that don't have the
/ same ease In earning theirs.

/ keepers. and there is reason and truth in
! the epithet
! In order to get the votes Of their con
stituents. Senators and Congressman gave
voice 70 revision downward IN the tariff
sentiment before the ingathering at the
polls. They have since repudiated these
statements by casting their votes for
] higher tariff rates. thus making Il plain
10 all that they valued the patronage OF
the manufactures rather than that OF
( the plain people. But this failure to heed
the wishes OF the people viii treasure

those representatives who have repUdiat-
ed their spoken and written word by

ents, have stood manfully, in most cases,
\ by their constituents. thus teaching the
! people at large the value Of direct pri-
maries; and this lesson viii not be for
