Eastern Oregon Asks Change of

An argument in favor OF a bill for

nress dispatch from Salem says
the voters of New Mexico ana Arizona
are greatly interested in oregon's con-
stitution and that many inquiries are
received daily concerning the amend
ments adopted in the last few years
II the people Of the two territories
mentioned are looking for the latest
thing in freak constitutions, they nave
only to cross over the line into Okla
homa. 1t might be wise, however to
suggest to them that If their admls-
sion to the Union depends upon the
kind of constitution they adopt the
less they pattern after oregon ana
Oklahoma, the better their chance
will be.

U'REN'S MANY BILLS.

1t now appears certain that more
than thirty bills will be submitted to
the people Of Oregon this year under
the initiative and referendum. This is
about twice as many as were submit
ted two years ago, when. it will be
remembered, voters were heard COM
planning that the election ballots were
only little smaller than horse blan-
ket.
w. S. U'Ren was in Salem, Monday,
with arguments in favor of four bills
from the Peoples Power League The
first of these is in favor of extending
the direct primary law TO the nomina-
tion OF delegates TO national conven-
tions and to choosing presidential
electors.
The second argument Is one in favor
OF a measure to provide a plan for
election of members to the legislature
by proportional representation and TO
increase the peoples power in the in
itiative. referendum and recall, (what-
ever that means.)
The third is a bill to provide for
partial inspection and reports on state
and county officers and for publica-
ton OF these reports Of governmental
progress in the oregon Oficial Gazette.
Ga monthly paper which. we under
stand. is to be furnished to the voters
at the modest price Of 81 a year,
The fourth is an amendment pro-
vidlng that three-fourths Of a jury
may pass on civil cases.
Still another argument presented by
U'Ren was one in favor Of an amend
ment to allow the state to build rail-
roads at will. without any restrict
ion on the amount Of money to be ex-
tended in that direction.
Let us pray.

PHOENIX. ARIZ., OCTOBER 24, 1910.
The Best Sign of Phoenix.

The commendation of The Republi- cans forty-page edition was much warmer and more general than had been expected by the management which had taken a merely matter-of- fact view of the achievement.
 That there would be favorable con- ment was rather expected but the de- mand for copies was underestimated, so that though several hundred more were printed of this than of the usual edition, the supply is now nearly ex- hausted.
 The copies are wanted by organiza- tions and individuals for distribution in other parts of the country for the purpose of advertising the city. It is true that this edition pretended to furnish no information or very little information, about Phoenix or the valley, such as would be expected in a special edition" which this was not intended to be.
 Its value as an advertisement of Phoenix, however, was stated by gentleman who bought a large num- Der of copies for distribution. It would, he said, be more effectual than any special edition" prepared for the ob- vious purposes of advertisement; more valuable than any illustrated adver- Using literature that could be com piled, for however truthful the state ments set forth in such literature the stranger could accept them only as unsubstantiated statements regarding the prosperous conditions of the val ley and the wealth of the resources.
 But, he added, in this paper, those conditions were proved in the forty pages of the paper which had been is- sued without special effort or pur- pose, but fin the ordinary course of business. Such an edition could issue only from a prosperous and enterprise ing community.

Current Comment
THE COST OF SUCCESS.

Occasionally there comes if not a discordant certainly a discouraging note which mars the melody of the martial music intended to inspire the weary marcher in the line of the great army of progress. We listen and wonder after all if the price of success is too great and too exacting. Miss Alice Robertson of Muskogee, Okla, the only woman first class postmaster in the United States, while in attendance upon the sessions of the Southwest Postal association convention at Kansas City recently said: T have been what the world calls a successful woman, but like every other woman who has succeed ed at mans work I have paid the price. It has cost me everything dear and sacred to a woman"
 Miss Robertson is described as a woman with gray hair and kindly, clearness and precision. She is not a woman of theories and fancies, her critics say, but one who has fought her way to success over the route of hard knocks and experience. She is now fifty-six years old.
 What disposition will an impartial jury of intelligent American women and men make of the testimony sub mitted? Has this woman, in suc- ceeding, failed? That venture is all ways failure in which the cost ex- ceeds the value of the thing achieved No other rule can be applied either in business or in the higher under

The National Game.

It is a waste of words to say that baseball is the national game. It has has been that for years, but year by year it's hold on the American people great throngs aggregating 125,000 per- sons that watched the games of the worlds series in Philadelphia and Chicago were supplemented in every large town by interested spectators who impeded traffic in front of the newspaper offices to watch the bull letins for the latest information re- garding their favorites on the dia- mond and greeted with cheers the scores by innings as they were posted
 Baseball has become an almost ex- act science. For its successful demon- stration in the professional leagues high grade of generalship as well as technical skill is demanded. The winning of championship games is delicate and serious business and re- quires much more than individual talent on the part of nine men.
 Without, for instance, the peculiar genius of MT. Cornelius McGillicuddy the skill of the Athletics in the late series would have been frittered away. He was the man who united it and made it a winning force.

Or. Day, Hipher Critic.

Dr. Day, professor of Hebrew fin the San Anselmo Theological institute, whose trial was in progress before the Presbyterian Synod at Fresno last week. attained little loftier attitude in higher criticism" than any of the other ministers of the gospel of whom we can just now think, who have been on trial on similar charges.
 A full acceptance of the story of Jonah and the whale; or of Joshua's s arrest of the sun and moon and of many other biblical incidents may not be essential to the usefulness of the preacher or the theologian. Those things have no bearing on the doctrine of revealed religion. Criticism of dis belief concerning them could rest only on the ground that it might permeate the whole biblical structure and fin ally involve essentials.
 Theologians may also depart from established interpretations and substi- ute for them new ones of their own without putting themselves outside the pale.
 pr. Day, however, went further and attacked the prophecies of Isaiah in stating his belief that the utterances of the prophet regarding the Babylon ian captivity were made after the predicted events had happened. Thus one of the major prophets had either been characterized as an impostor or else it was to be understood that we have misunderstood the bible all along and that there may have been no pro- phets at all.
 This appears to have been an as- sault upon the bible at a vital place. Upon what pr. Day bases his belief with respect to the prophecy regard ing the captivity we are not informed There are no definite dates in history regarding the period of the existence of the prophet or the period of the captivity. The doctor must have con- cluded that the prophecies were sus- piciously accurate.
 Equally without historical informa- tion pr. Day denies that Moses was the author of the Pentateuch But in that he disputes no biblical statement and could be condemned only for de- parting from a belief established we do not know how or when, that the Five Books of Moses" were actually written by the great leader and law giver.

talings. But perhaps Miss Robert son was not cautious bargainer Possibly she paid for what the world calls success a higher price than is rightfully exacted. There may be in that great and ever-increasing body of American women who have sue ceeded and who are succeeding those who can point out to their sister ex- actly where and how she was de- frauded.
 The idea of sacrifice is one re- garding which there is much con- fusion. Is it not possible that if the hearts of all women could be search ed we would discover that there is much needless martyrdom? Self denial is not always a glorifying vir- tue. All good things are ours, ac- cording to the promise. Why then should we not reach out our hands and accept them?
 The American woman of today be- lieves she has found the way to a higher success without surrendering those things which Miss Robertson complains of losing. Home life, in stead of being the supposed hindrance to genuine progress, may be made its greatest aid. The line which for so long separated the home from the office, the store and the activities of the farm has been all but obliterated. A more intelligent scheme of CO., operation has been devised. It is because this is working out so satis- factorily, and because the interests of f. hA that the price of even abundant suc- cess has been marked down. Those of the newer generation will not complain that they are being over charged.-Woman's National Daily.
