SELF REFUTED.

Bishop Hughes, a California Meth
odist, has exposed the equal suffrage
movement completely so he thinks.
Before a big convention in Baltimore
Saturday this gentleman said the rea-
son women should not vote is that
they are inferior to man. 1t is the
lesson of the ages he says that wo-
man lacks the intellectual fibre
necessary for the deciding of politi-
cal questions and that it is impossible
except in rare instances for woman's
intellect to equal that of a mans.
Perhaps the best refutation of
Bishop Hughes contention is that
found in the fact that in a world con-
Quoted by men a man of his evident
mentality should get so high in the
world as to become a bishop. There
are reasons for believing this par
ticular clergyman has head that is
small at the top and big at the jaw.

BIA THE GOAL OF

Owing to Ever Increasing Demand
for This Fertile Farm Land, Prices
Are Expected to Soon Soar.

Buying lands in the fertile valleys
of Central British Columbia, near
Fort George, is not speculation
The Grand Trunk Pacific, Canada's
great transcontinental railway, has
just built into this territory and
opened to settlement what is termed
by all who have thoroughly famil-
iarized themselves with the mild cli-
mate, rich soil and beautiful seem
cry, as THE Paradise of the Pa
cific."
British Columbia is an undevelop-
ed region affording great opportun-
tiles to those who get in on the
ground floor
AS evidence of his great confidence
in the British Columbia country, the
Duke Of Sutherland bought 10000
acres Of these lands in London dur
ing the year 1910. Later, he came
out with a party of titled gentlemen
and purchased $1,000 additional
acres This entire acreage Is being
cut up into 40 acre farms and will be
colonized by the Duke of Sutherland,
working in conjunction with the
North Coast Land Co.
The farms will be cleared, fenced,
barn erected and first crop put in.
The North Coast Land Co. will To-
cate about 5000 Scotchmen this
spring on these lands which are
about 20 miles S. E. of Fort George,
on the Frazer river at a place called
Whites Landing. This company has
also established a large German set
tlement about miles S. e. of Fort
George, many sections of land hav-
ing been sold to the latter.
Where the North Coast Land Co.
can sell six or more sections to any
one colony wishing to locate in the
Fort George country, they will as

WOMAN.

She may not do the things that man
May do and still enjoy esteem;
But for her sake we proudly plan,
For her we dream the golden dream.
We draw a circle round her where
BY virtue beautiful, she stands,
And If she steps across we tear
Her mantle with impatient hands.
To her we confidently turn
For courage in our sore distress;
From her and for her sake we learn
The saving grace of gentleness.
To her we yield the splendid right
OF freedom from the warriors care;
She fills the present with delight
And sweetly makes the future fair
We make the ground on which she
stands
A glorified and sacred place;
We press our lips upon her hands
And are enraptured by her grace.
We raise her to sublimity,
And then with all our arts We
strive
To tempt her to descend. to he
The most abhorrent thing alive.

Now it so happens that at present
tie city government pays the Pacific

l. $4,000 year for street lights and
for current used in pumping water.
II is five per cent interest upon $780,

enough to install a municipal plant
sufficient to meet present needs.
How about it Mr.. Business Man,
doesn't it seem to you that a munich
pal electric plant would be a pretty
good thing? Would it not be better
for Pendleton to pay out it's money
to meet interest on the necessary
bonds for constructing a municipal
plant instead of giving the trust that
large sum each year in return for the
poor and begrudging service which it
renders?
To the East Oregonian the question
appears as an extremely one sided
affair

OWNERSHIP THE REMEDY.

With splendid power possibilities
on every hand the city of Portland
sat idly by for years and allowed
every available site TO be taken by
private corporations. The city has
refrained from establishing a mu-
nicipal plant and until a few days
ago the people deluded themselves
with the idea they had competition
Now they have awakened to a reali-
zation that the inevitable has come
to pass and that all the water power
IS absolutely in the hands of the ell
ectric trust.
1t is a bad situation for Portland
and the people realize it. When
competition goes and close monopoly
takes it's place it means poor service
for the consumer and great profits
for the trust. The trust could give
better service at lower prices and ii
always claims TO do so. But the claim
is cOUlDOseu u ple part VI u utu ~
nine parts of buncombe. The trust
gives scientific" handling of the
plant and scientific" adjustment Of
rates. The former in reality means
the expenditure of the least possible
money on equipment and the second
consists in the extraction Of the
greatest possible amount Of coin from
the consumers pockets with the min
imum quantity of howl.
The money that should go to the
people in the form Of low rates goes 70

Germs that probably have never put
any real cash into the enterprise.

A BUSINESS NATTER.

The Jersey Journal has this to say
the opposition to Woodrow
Wilson for the democratic nomination
for president:
1T is not at all likely that Messrs.
Clark, Harmon and Underwood are
in conspiracy to prevent the nomi-
nation of Governor Wilson, but it is
notorious that certain moneyed fol-
lowers of one or another of these
three candidates are bent upon Will
sons defeat, no matter at what fl
nancial cost. 1t is solely business"
matter with them They don't want
either a democrat or a republican as
such in the white house. They want
a man there who they think will act
as one of themselves would act if he
were president-one who will deal
tenderly with the so-called interests

ton of the American flag"

is no more sense in allowing private

there is in private ownership of a

occupy large place in Scripture, are
presented regardless of UNCONVENTIONAL
ignorance, prejudice or false emphasis.
The Second Coming of Christ, Tithing,
the Return of the Jews to Palestine,

as to bring a mighty leverage upon

elevated to more worthy position. No
greater blessing can come to our

our necks.
THE instruction given to converts
is all the most exacting could ask. The
way Is made clear but not easy. The
law Of discipleship-self- ex-

blessing of marvellous richness and

THE evangelistic party in its per-
sonnet seems to me to be almost ideal.
Prof. Geo. Moody has few equals and
rarely superior as a director of a
great chorus choir and leader in con-
gregational worship in song, while his
solos are chosen with care and sung

the women and girls Mrs. Moody eX
erts a power and influence of rare
quality. Among the young men Lester
Moody is congenial spirit who seeks.
with real success, to lead them to his
Christ. But the secret of the great
success of the work is found in the
personality and power of the evanSel-
list, Mr.. Lowry. His message is enc
of denunciatiOn of sin, and beauti-
full presentation of the power of God
to save from sin and bring peace and
salvation to lost souls.
"A spirit of real harmony and bro
therly accord exists among the affili
ated churches, more than ever before.
To each church has come a quickening
of the spiritual life of it's membership

Many have sincerely turned away from
their worldliness and a genuine recon-
secration to the work of. our Lord has
been the result. Unsaved people have
been compelled to face their sins and
think Of their standing before God as
never before, perhaps, in their. lives.
The hundreds who have openly con-
fessed their sins and pledged their
service to Christ as Lord have brought
joy deeper than words can express to
many homes in this community. We
say goodby with real regret, but with
sincere hope of reunion in similar
work at some future time.
Twice it has been my privilege to
work with this evangelistic party as a

count their work of the greatest per-

walton of the people in Northern Idaho
has just closed. Rev. Oscar Lowry has
shown himself to be an immense char
acter, patriotic citizen, a true Chris
tian, a preacher of preachers, whole
hearted and unwavering in his devo-
ton to Christ and His cause.
HE has presented the eternal truths
as they are, and seemed always able
to do the things needed to be done, and
because Of his brilliant speaking, his
earnestness and deep human sympathy,
he has aroused among all classes Of
our people an enthusiasm for the full

and there is no form of sin peculiar to
him, neither is he free from any speci-
fic sin which may affect the life of
another. In these meetings sin has
been exposed and truth presented in
such simple and plain manner that
wayfaring men, though fools, need not
err therein, and at the same time in
such logical and forceful way as to
appeal to the deepest thinker and gain
the assent of every reasonable person.
Some members of the University,
from both the faculty and the student
body, have been greatly benefited by
the meetings. hope the influence has
been far wider than l know.

The Music of the Lowry Moody

Putting aside both fattery and crit
icism it can be truthfully said that the
music of this reviving and soul-winning
campaign, under the leadership of
Professor George Moody has been an
important factor in it's success. Mr..
Moody has voice of rare quality and
power, more especially in the middle
and lower tone registers, and the al
most perfect enunciation, tone plac-
ing and sustained unwavering singing
of his appropriate solo selections gives
evidence to the discerning ear of a
high grade of vocal culture, and one
in strong contrast to the smothered,
throaty or tremolo-stop style that is so

and His precious word, and to see the
need of a deeper conservation and full
surrender to Him, for better service
and greater usefulness in their Mas
ter's service and to be greater bless
ing to their fellowmen.
IF only more would heed his
understanding sermons, and turn
from darkness unto light and from sin
unto righteousness. How shall we
escape, if we neglect SO great saliva

nounced the greatest evils in our land

course, the union evangelist usually
avoids the second, but Mr.. Lowry is
as fair in this regard as can be ex-

in livid, lurid letters in his preaching
