HE QUOTES SCRIPTURE.
(continued from Page ~

But Judge George might well
have gone further and placed him
self among the prophets by complet-
ing the family tree to date, and add
ing, And yea, verify, this assembly
will, fear, beget hell for u.s."
He then complains pathetically of
those candidates who, ignoring
bosses, go direct to the voter AMI
state plainly their intentions. He
tells us that "they print personal
platforms on their ballots more
speckled and spotted than the an
cient cattle of Genesis"
Why He Stopped.
Why Judge George did not go
further than the book of Genesis,
will soon be apparent; for it is in
the book of Exodus that the real
warrant and reasons for this assem-
bly, and its character are disclosed.
The causes and reasons there de-
scribed are so surprisingly pat to the
present situation that we exclaim
with King Solomon, "There is moth
ing new under the SUM-" 1t will be
recalled how. in the book of Exc
dus the children of Israel have
been travelling and starving in the
Wilderness. At the 18th chapter,
verse 3, they rebel and murmur. say
ing:
Would to God we had died by
the hand of the Lord in the land of
Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots
and when we did eat bread to the
full, for ye have brought us forth
into this wilderness, to kill this
whole assembly with hunger"
There's the biblical ancestor and
warrant for the Oregon assembly.
Can we blame Judge George for not
limiting to the taxpayer the hungry
character of this assembly gang?
Then the Lord provided them with
plain mama, which they gladly ac-
cepted; but they were allowed only
ration per day, which each must
laboriously gather. No sinecure. If
they gathered more than a days ra-
ton it became wormy and unfit to
eat. A wise regulation to prevent
gluttony and idleness, and to en-
courage daily labor.
Assembly Lusting After Flesh.
In the book of Numbers, chapter
II, verse 4, we find this assembly
lusting after flesh. They again
loudly rebel and cry out, saying:
who shall give us flesh to eat7
We remember the fish which we did |
eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,
and the melons, and the leeks, and .
the onions, and the garlic. But now
our soul is dried away. There Is
nothing at all, besides this mama
before our eyes,"
The Lord, just and swift in his
smote this assembly that
usted for their former flesh-pots,
with avery great plague, and they
we're all buried in that place.
Anu uOWs Olls. SOOu Lulu w lltt' !
shall be the portion of this wicked,
listing assembly of Oregon, when
oday rebels against the law? Thev
,lamor loudly for special privileges
or fresh fish, the succulent leeks
md cucumbers; yea, they do claim
Is it were, by divine right, the juicy,
luscious melons all unto themselves
they do demand, forsooth, the
fragrant, pungent onions and garlic.
Shall we not on the oath day of
his month, grid up our loins, and 4
With the sword of Gideon, smite this
hungry, Philistine assembly hip and
high, and gather them in and bury
hem?
IF every decent citizen shall do his ,
nipple duty on primary day, the
eed will be done, and well done. +
tut, oh, good Lord! Thou knowest
ow many well-meaning citizens
ave a lazy, sneaking habit of let q
ing Neighbor George do the voting, :
Oolishly thinking that their votes
ill not be missed. To such 1 say: -
