A GOOD YEAR TO VOTE NO.
Eugene Register)

(Eugene Reg1Ster)
As the number of bills that are
certain to be on the ballot this fall
grows, the conviction is strengthen
ed that this is going to be good
year to vote no. We are already
overburdened with laws. and we need
little time to catch up.
Oregon's principal need just now
is little more attention paid to the
serious business of industrial devel-
opment and little less to expert
mentation with new and untried leg
islation. We have laws enough to
last us for some time, and could dis
pense with few that we have much
more profitably than we could adopt
a fresh batch that we know nothing
about.
A good rule for the voter to fol-
low is to vote no when he is in doubt
and very large number of the meas
ures that are to be submitted to a
vote this year are Of extremely doubt
full value and some of them are VIC
ious.

The Perfect Woman.

When Sam Jones was holding his
meetings in Dallas, Texas, on one oc-
casion he said: There's no such
thing as a perfect man. Anybody
present who has ever known a per-
feet man, stand up"
Nobody stood up.
"Those who have known a perfect
woman, stand up"
One demure little woman stood up.
"Did you ever know an absolutely
perfect woman?" asked Sam, some
what amazed.
II didn't know her personally"
replied the little old woman, "but
have heard great deal about her,
She was my husbands first wife,"

NATIONAL CHARACTER
NOT BAD AS PAINTED
lSpokesman-ReYiew.l J


1t is a dreary picture of the chang
ed American that Daniel F. Kellogg
draws. The New York Sun was the
sphere of Mr.. Kellogg's professional
career during 1SS6-1912, and for 13
years he was its financial editor. His
opportunities for observation should
have been good.
Our national character seems to
this observer to have changed much
since 1889. To him we seem to be
less religious, less honest and less
frugal than we were before that
time. We also appear more emo
tional, less given to reflection, much
influenced by conservatism and re-
spect for governmental authority and
social inheritances. The church,
the press, the reading public, liter
ature and the thearter have all alike
undergone degeneration. Never in
history has there been such appall-
ing attestation of the principle that
the luxuries of one generation be-
come the necessities of the succeed
ing generation as Mr.. Kellogg imag-
ines that he has discerned in the
United States during the past quar-
ter century.
If the facts be as the quondam
journalist believes, the portrait Of
the American people reveals some
dismaying characteristics. But 1t is
difficult to accept all or even most
of his assertions at their face value.
They are those of New Yorker, and
New York is not the best point of
view in the United States for outlook
upon the American people as whole.
There is something in the atmos-
phere Of Manhattan that makes for
cross-eyed and reversed vision.
One of the Kellogg allegations
may serve as touchstone for the
credibleness of others. 1t is that the
character of the clergy has deteri-
Grated, that the church has assum-
ed materialistic aspect, that the
people no longer believe the essential
doctrines of Christianity and that
the church has lost its hold upon
their hearts. These are assertions
of tremendous sweep and require
the strongest and amplest evidence
to sustain them. But not scintil!a
Of evidence is presented. On the
other hand there is testimony against
those statements.
The growth of the membership OF
the church at least keeps abreast OF
the increase in the total population
of the country. The Christian people
of the United States now spend near
ly twice as much on the work of their
churches as they did in 1899. They
invest $400,000,000 annually, and,
though only third of US, give So OF
every 81 that 60 to charities, educa-
tion, and the relief of emergencies
1t is extremely doubtful, to say the
least, whether the 37,2SO,37O COM
municants whom DR.. Carrall credited
to the American church of 1913 have
suffered any such decay of religious
faith as is imagined by Mr.. Kellogg.

STATE NEWS ITEMS
Of GENERAL INTEREST

Portland, Ore, July IA, Especially
In order to fully acquaint them
selves with condition along the new
Columbia Highway, five carloads of
residents of Hood River county made
the trip down the gorge on Thursday
of last week. At Gordon Falls they
were met by a delegation from Port
land headed by County Commissioner
Holman and after picnic luncheon
had been disposed of they were
shown over the most scenic portion
of the highway. After an afternoon
spent in this inspection, Roy D.
Smith of Hood River, one of the
leaders in the movement for better
roads, prophesied that the Hood
River bond issue would carry to /.
'This road project has never been
put up to me in the right way be-
FORE" said Mr.. Smith, "I've come to
the conclusion that good roads are
money in our pockets far more in
amount than their cost"
Oregon merchants will be enter
tanned by the jobbers and manufac
turers of Portland August 1O-15 dur
ing Buyers Week when the buyers of
merchandise and supplies from all
over the Pacific Northwest will be
gathered in Portland to make their
annual purchases. Banquets, lunch
cons, receptions, a smoker and auto
mobile rides about the city are on
the program. The underlying pur-
pose of Buyers Week is to develop
the buy-at-home spirit, not only as
it applies to Portland but to every
community of the Pacific Northwest.
To arouse greater interest in their
plans, the officials of the land show
to be held in Portland next fall will
offer first prize of 5000 and sec
ond prize of SIS for the best special
exhibit by counties. By arrange
ments with the state fair officials,
exhibits from Douglas, Lane, Polk,
Marion, Washington, Multnomah, Til
lamook, Clackamas, Umatilla, Wasco,
Wallowa, Wheeler and Morrow coun-
ties have already been arranged for.
Within the last few days the juno
tion City cannery was formally op-
ened, the exercises being attended by
not less than three hundred farmers
with their families. The main can
merry building is 100 x 200 feet, two
stories high and cost about $4,000.
Next year an up-to-date fruit drier
will be erected to care for the prune
crop.
At La Grande it has been decided
to build new exhibit hall near the
depot. The building will be of mod
ern design and will be SO located that
its contents can readily be seen from
all trains. 1t viii; include an Office
for the county agriculturist, who will
have charge of the exhibit.
What is regarded as the record re-
turn from one acre of cherries has
been reported from Hood River
where the grower received $1,000
for the crop on one acre of Royal
Annes. This was the net amount re-
ceived after all expenses of picking
and marketing had been paid.
In order to raise the money with
which to inssll municipal lighting
system, the city of Drain, Ore, has
voted to sell $4,000 worth of city
bonds. AS soon as the bonds are
disposed of, the contract for the con-
struction will be let.
