This is an age Of change, and We
find that sometimes orthodox intent
in religion is susceptible OF change,
and that ever intent may count for
deed in righteous work, so says a
modern teacher. Performance Of i'm
possibilities is not expected. Like
the darkey preacher who declared
that if he nas commanded to jump
through stone wall, it would be his
duty to make the attempt. Going
through would he a matter OF the
higher power, and if he failed the re-
sponSibliity would not rest with him.
This, it seems TO US, makes incentive
too much an object of dependence for
results. II a person persuadeS hi m
self that he will perform some real
meritorious act, it is really good as
done; notwithstanding some incident
may happen that makes it really i'm
possible. II a man. for instance. be-
comes converted, and joins church
it is all well with him, if he does back
slide, from antagonistic influences.
He has done his best, and Satan, the
Devil Or some other Interior influence
has dissipated the purifying process
that has placed him on a safe foot
ing with the elect.
Let Us thank heaven, what reli-
gion" we possess is based upon safe
and more stable foundation, than
any such doctrine. 1t is too much
of man-made theory to conform
with God-given hope of salvation,
Conversion implies an utter change
of heart, a confidence 10 stability that
leaves no doubt of its permanent abid-
ance; a reward under the control OF
the monitor conscience that is merci-
less in its constant reminders of the
duty Of true endeavor. How much
better it would be that those who as.
sumo to do the thinking for a com
PLEASANT flock, should preach from
safe and reasonable grounds rather
than exhibit the unsatisfactory. so
phistical discourses of a modern icon
oclast ic in divine thaught.

popular sentiment. on motion to
reconsider the award Of contract for
building the city hall, failed to pass
by a tie vote, Wednesday night, but
discussed the matter thoroughly and
very clearly defined q preference for

far as in the walls fronting Main and

A NEW ordinance has been intro
duced in the Council designed to
abolish the Office Of Street Superin-
tendent and attach his duties to those
of City Engineer. and the ordinance
passed at last meeting creates anew
the Office OF Engineer and provides
for appoin tment, but whether the
real object is to still further increase
his emoluments or specifically de-
fine his duties, remain to be seen.
Some of his charges have seemed
peculiarly excessive in the past.

Watch and Listen.

Now ladies and gentlemen of
Olympia who own property in this
city on which there are delinquent
asses sments for improvements, So
called and otherwise, just listen for
moment to a prediction from one
who neither pretends TO be prophet
nor son of a prophet. Many of you
who have not the means to pay these
assessments will find some of these
days foreclosure suits brought against
you for their collection. 1t is not
likely the bondholders will hold off
any longer than they have to. It.
was stated at public meeting in the
opera house prior to the late city
election, while discussing the Com
mission plan of city government,
that the Council had recently passed
credit-strengthening measure pro-
viding when one or two instalments
of a given assessment shall become
delinquent, foreclosure may be had
for the full amount. 1t has been
stated that good lawyers, represent
ing contractors and bond brokers in
other cities in this State, formulated
this credit-strength ening ordinance,
in order to make the collection
expeditions and efficacious, therefore
Olympia followed suit.
1t has been observed by some of
the city officials that this ordinance
was passed to simplify matters and
save circumlocution and expense.
1t is doubtless to be understood that
the cinch" is the essence of the
simplifying process. The STANDARD s
sympathies are with the unfortun-
ates, who if they are unable to do so
now, will appreciate the strenuous
ness of the situation before many
moons. The problem is more compli-
Gated than any of Euclid's theorems;
how community can develop its
commercial Importance and attract
wealth by bankrupting its own indi-
vidual units?

CHAs. O. HULIN, Of Hartstein Island,
has adopted the plan in former years
of canning such fruit as would spoil

All pears and prunes, berries and

in an unripe condition, or are scaly,
or are otherwise apparently defective,

Boy SCOUTS. -Many inquiries are
being made relative to the organiza-
ton known as the Boy Scouts OF
America. An organization Of this
kind was originally started in Eng
land at the instance Of Sir Robert
Baden Powell, and founded in the
United States by Dan. Baird and
Ernest Thomas Beton. The organ
ization is composed of boys from
twelve to eighteen years of age. The
ostensible purpose is to train boys
in the principles Of manhood, self
reliance and good citizenship; obedi-
ence to parents. loyalty. eheerfulness
and thrift. The Socialists and men,
bers of labor unions do not take
kindly to the movement. and claim
the real purpose to be to train boys
to become soldiers for the MALTA,
serve as strike-breakers and if Or
dered by their superiors, to shoot
down strikers and ask no questions.
The fathers and mothers are eau
toned to keep their boys out of the
organization, for they might be or
dered to kill their own brothers and
fathers, in the event they should
strike for higher wages and better
labor conditions; that it is advisable
to check an incipient military move
ment in the budding.

problem is being tried in England,
whereby immense blocks of flats are
to be erected with the idea of simpli-
flying the housekeeping problem, and

refreshments of the district. After
the market will be an arcade con-
tanning large shops, the upper floors
divided into 200 dwellings,, ranging
in size from two to five rooms and

ant and other public rooms.

What Was He Doing?

Last Sunday afternoon, on Fourth
street, an individual with head down.
ward and bordering, was seen walk
ing eastward from Main street. It
was remarked he was a banker and
bond-broker. He viewed the Swan
town fill, the water standing thereon
and the uninviting spectacle of the
said-to-be box-sewer. What he was
after became a matter of conjecture.
It was observed, however. he may
have been investigating the value
of the securities issued by the city
against the property in the fill;
whether the bonds are marketable
paper in the present shape that this
property is; whether the owners
would be likely to liquidate them.
and whether ii the assessment was
foreclosed the property would bring
in the market sufficient to meet this
Indebtedness. OF course these mat
ters are merely conjectures, but it
looks to the STANDARD there may be
reasons for the conclusions.
If it is q fact that these bonds are
not at present available assets in the
hands OF the dredging company. the
owner might be DESTROYS that the
box - be taken out and the water
and moisture on the property drained
into the open waterway for the Mox-
lie creek flow. thus would add value
to the lands and encourage the own
ers to pay off the assessments. The
present situation is far from invit-
ing from either the owners point oil
view or that of the bond holders.
This condition of matters may serve
to explain why the City Engineer,
with the assistance of the dredging
company, is fighting Henry Mallory
so vigorously in the Superior Court,
with the help Of the city's good
money to be paid out OF the pockets
Of taxpayers.
