THE SAFE WAY.

A careful scrutiny of the state
pamphlet reveals the fact that among
the measures to be voted on this fall
there are none whose failure will
especially handicap the material
progress of the state, says the Eu
gene Register. There are several
proposed laws that are to be COM
mended because their purpose is
sound and wholesome, but no great
and crying evil will go uncorrected
if they fail of passage.
On the other hand, there are many
measures that are wholly ilinlical to
progress and development. One
strikes directly at the right of large
number of the citizens of Oregon to
make living for themselves and
their families on the farm. Many of
these are the offerings of schemers
and tinkerers who care little for gen.
eral prosperity if they can secure a
! u lui VI lilCil Win lCSloldlINS "a OJSNAo'
Some of them promise to drive away
development from Oregon at a time
when all of her citizens who are
worth while are struggling to bring
on as full a measure of it as posi-
ble
In this situation there is a lesson
for the voter to heed. AS far as pos
sibe the measures should be studied
with painstaking care and voted for
on their merits according to the con-
victions of the voter. But for those
who are unable or unwilling to de-
vote sufficient time to study of the
proposed laws there is one course ol
action that is safe. 1t is this: When
in doubt, vote no.

PROPHETS OF PROFIT.

We believe the lean days are over.
We believe prosperity is here-the
greatest boom times we have known
in generation. Every keen-visioned
man can see it. The armies of Eu-
rope fighting for military power have
combined to make America the
worlds great commercial power, says
the Guard. During the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1914, the United
States imported 1882, 900, 900
worth of goods. A pretty good item
for our own manufacturers to sup
ply this year. In addition, our mills
must double their exports to make
up for the goods Europe cannot sup
ply. The figures are dazzling-the
profits stupendous. Are you ready
for prosperity?

SCIENCE AGAIN TO THE BAT.

Darwin's theory of life-the theory
which. in our grandfathers' day,
swept so many old notions into the
corner-was, you remember, that
everything evolved from simple be-
ginning; that life has been a for
ward struggle from the jellyfish up
to the God-like being, man.
Starting with something or other
(call it protoplasm, for you must have
a starting point, Darwin assumed
that this beginning was very simple
and very poor and lowly, but that
somehow, as the ages passed, it be-
came more complex, slowly changing
to fit new conditions.
Darwin, you see, wasn't a stand
patter.
Though Darwin's theory is about
as clear as mud, yet it made great
hit because it was different and be-
cause it shocked many closed minds
into opening for new thinking.
Now comes another scientist with
another theory, which also is creating
stir.
William Bateson, president of the
British Association for the Advance
ment of Science, turns Darwins the
ory around. The protoplasm, he ar
CUES, wasn't simple or poor or lowly
at all. 1t had in it all the forces,
all the power, that we see today.
Shakespeare" he reminds us
"once existed as a speck of protO-
plasm not so big as a small pins
head. To this nothing was added
that would not equally we'll have
served to build up a baboon or d
rat"
What happened, according to Bate
son, was that originally many Of the
powers latent in this primordial oCze
didn't have a chance and only got the
chance in the slow course of the aeon'
which followed.
In other words, tweedledum vs
tweedledee, with every highbrow :ak
ing sides.
Very profound are these profes
sors; also very amusing, if you dom
happen to be awed.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The Christmas Ship.

A Chicago paper has started a
movement to give the children OF Eu-
rope some little pleasure at Christ
mas time. 1t says the Christmas ship
which is to bear gifts from the chill
dren of America to the orphan chill
dren of war-torn Europe offers big
opportunity for receiving it. 1t will
bless the little child who gives as
well as the little one who receives.
What an opportunity it will pro-
vide to carry joy to thousands and
thousands of homes that would 9TH
| erwise be dark and cheerless on
Christmas night-homes whose de-
fender and sustainer lies dead on
some distant field of battle
What an opportunity to carry to
all of Europe, in the most helpful
way conceivable, the real sympathy
which Americans, without distinc-
ton. feel for a continent in the grim
clutch of war and want.
/ What an opportunity to raise amid
the discordant clash of war a note of
pure humanity, sweet and sane and
I strong-a note to which the nations
must respond-a note to awake the
better angels of their nature.
What an opportunity to lead the
f oh Of An,apico fhrO,tOh vrr4rly
of gentleness and love, to realize the
great joy of giving, the beauty of
self-sacrifice and the blessedness of
peace.
What an opportunity to enlarge
their sympathies till they take in
half a world, to implant lessons cf
humanity that in future days shall
stand like steel against wars crime
and folly.
What an opportunity to impress on
childhood the real meaning of the
day that Christ was born, and with il
the whole gospel for help for the un-
fortunate, care for the orphan and
the widow, and that last, greatest
commandment of all, that I'VE love
. one another"
The Christmas ship is no idle
fancy. 1t will be an accomplished
fact 1t will be ready in due season
to carry to the war-swept lands anC
homes of Europe the offerings which
the children of America make to th'
innocent victims of wars rage ant
: madness.
+ Think for a moment of that arm!
of orphans-more pathetic than an.
beaten, shattel ed host. A scattered

ENOUGH OF a DO-NOTHING.

Hawley is one of the few relics of
Cannonism left in the lower branch
of the American congress. He is still
living in the past. He has not yet
been aroused to the great fact that
western states have quit sending rep
resentatives to congress merely to
follow out the dictates of the east.
The west, comprising that territory
from the great Mississippi basin to
the Pacific, has grown gradually in
importance and power so that it is
now only necessary that men of abil-
ity and stamina be sent from here to
warrant proper recognition. The
ME TOO" type of congressman have
not the force to bring Oregon prop
erly to the fore. Oregon has tre-
mendous water front little developed
Opening of the Panama canal makes
il doubly needful that the coast har-
bors be properly improved to meet
the new traffic from Europe that will
unload at Oregon ports. Only men
of force will secure the necessary
harbor appropriations. Oregon needs
and wants the goods. Negative men
cannot deliver. In this district this
year the republican party put forth
a candidate whose record is against
him-too weak for consideration.
Oregon cannot afford to sacrifice her
great interest by allowing party
fealty TO outweigh common good.
Where the republican party has
failed, If indeed there be any politi-
cal party possible under the Oregon
election law, it is incumbent upon
the electorate to exercise such fran
chise as will result in putting men

ergy enough, and force enough tC

 Bordeaux is only seventy miles from the Bay Of BScay away down in the southwest and every step of the will be contested should the Germans decide to continue their advance.
