OWENS FOR MAYOR?

For mayoraI candidate next spring
some H.-H. men are talking Judge
John E. Owens. Carter H. Harrison,
they say in this connection, is seTi-
ously considering not making the
run. The Sullivan organization is
harder to combat, and the honOrs as
a ive-time mayor are almost enough
to retire on, is the way Owens takers
dope it out. A young, aggressive man
is wanted and Johnny Owens is the
candy is their argument. The woman
vote will be a big drag next spring
and handsome Johnny Owens will
run far is another argument.
November election returns will
probably settle this question of who
shall make the run. Harrison may
decide from the figures then that he
has a good fighting chance. The

POLITICAL MEETS
Harmony and peace was the rule
in the conventions of the three large
parties last night.
The Republicans confined their
labors to the election of delegates to
the state convention at Peoria.
TWenty-one women were among
those sent to represent Cook county.
In all but four wards police returns
from the election were used in deter
mining the ward committeeman.
Where friction arose trouble was
quieted by an equal division of dele
gates from the ward.
Democrats elected their delegates
without any of their usual battles.
Sullivan and H.-H. men agreed on
Anton Cermak for chairman until the
regularly elected ward committee
men will meet next Monday.
After quarrel for a state delegate
in nine wards; the Moose divided can
didates and proceeded with drawing
up their slate. The Moosers nearly
went upon record as opposing non
partizanship in local election, but
Robins and Mccormick amended the
measure.

The city council is preparing
to make war upon the weed
nuisance in st. Johns. Notices
will no doubt be served upon all
property owners TO cut weeds
within certain specified time
or they will be cut by the city
at the owners expense. II
seems to be the only thing to
do. Many places in st. Johns
are a disgrace on account of the
rank growth of weeds of an
obnoxious nature, and it seems
that the owners have not enough
civic pride to cut them down.
On many of the streets the grass
has grown so long as to almost
cover the sidewalks, making il
disagreeable to travel them after
a rain. The danger from fire is
not a small feature in the uncon-
fined growth of weeds and other
wild vegetation. II is up TO the
property owner TO get busy, or
bear the expense of having the
weeds cut and additional costs
involved therein.

cause the debater believes they
are not governed by the "Gold-
en- Rule" "And they do not

did not express a single or
iginal idea." If the Golden
Rule" is not original with Christ,

of fact the Golden Rule" was
not given TO the churches alone;
IL is for all men to live up to.

batter. IL the churches should be
wiped off the map for not living
up TO the Golden Rule" by the
same token the party represent
ed by the dcbater should receive
like treatment. But the Gold
en- Rule" is not all there is to
Christianity. Faith in Christ
comes first, and having that in
its truest sense, the Golden
Rule" is followed as a matter of
course. Because one church or
some church members may not
seem 20 give much heed TO the
Golden Rule" is no reason TO
believe that all are in the same
class.
Perhaps if the debater would
take time TO go 10 church oc-
casionally he would be disil-
lusioned regarding its rapacity
and uselessness. There might
even be hope that he become a
church member and use his mis-
placed eloquence toward making
the work of the churches more
effective and far reaching.
Faith, love and charity are the
only things that will ever make
the world better. Ingersolls
only make it worse.

The Greatest Menace

The danger that is the great
est menace to the United States
today lies in the performances
and plans of that class of men
who have stolen the holy name
of labor for their shiboleth, but
who instead of being laborers
are determined TO live upon the
labor of other men and women.
The menace could be quickly
turned aside by Legislation and
the work of the courts, except
that every small politician who
aspires TO office seems to feel il
a duty 10 cuddle TO or temporize
with the depraved organization.
But they surely are a. concern
ment 10 every state in our union,
and wherever they uprear their
sinister crests there should be
swift work done.
The federal government should
make the way easier 10 deal with
them by setting aside some is
land i'm the sea TO which. on fair
conviction. they should be trans
ported.
They glory in a simple fine
and brief Imprisonment, for
those things but heighten their
prestige and influence. But
were they TO once understand
that III convicted, the conviction
would be swift Punishment to
some spot where they would
have 10 work or starye. the
fact would have a most cooling
and soothing influence upon
them.
AS yet they are but a little
cloud upon the sky of our coun-
try but they threaten TO I'LL the
whole heavens with shadows in
the very near future.
Their preaching is altogether
incendiary. their practices are
so brutal that they on every
manifestation make clear that
they are public enemies, so cruel
and untamable that they are a
direct menace TO order, law and
the blessings of liberty.
In their deprayed souls liberty
is but another name for un-
bridled license, their aims are
but 10 convert free government |
into anarchy and their methods
are as cruel as are the hearts |
OF hungry tigers. -Goodwin's
Weekly.

the Church has steadily de-

il is neither Godlike, nor Christ

Public Utility Decisions

The Public Utilities Commits.
sion is arriving at physical valua-
tions of the Salem and Dallas
Water Company properties to
fix reasonable rates to the con-
sumers. In four public utilities
inquiries of similar character
the commission has upheld own
ers of the plants in recent de-
cisions.
In the Newberg Telephone
Company case. owing to ad-
vances in wages to telephone
girls by the Industrial Welfare
Commission. the company was
only earning one and four-tenths
per cent on the investment of
capital. The Commission ad-
vanced rate 25 cent per month
per phone. or three dollars per
year, and raised the removal
charge from 81 to So.
In the North Bend and Marsh
field water company cases they
ascertained the valuation of the
plant for both cities to be $780,
600. and decided present rates
were unreasonably low. They
authorized improvements in the
way of new mains and a resor-
voir TO cost SIG. 600. and raised
rates about ten per cent.
In the suit of the Eugene
Water Board against the Oregon
Power Co. the city. which is not
under Utility Commission con-
troll. asked the state to prevent
the Oregon Power Co. cutting
rates and offering special induce
nsnts TO meet the city rates.

A DEBATE

Subject. Resolved, That
Every Church Should be Wiped
off the Map" Affirmative DR..
Bailey Kay Leach, editor of
"Justice;" negative. A. w.
Markle, Editor st. Johns "Re-
view" "
The word Church" used in
this debate means the &c.
clesiastical religious organiza.
ton constituting what is called
christianity"
All European nations. except
Turkey, and those of the Amer
icas, are called Christian. They
seem TO be.
All Christian churches were
off shoots of the Roman Catholic
church. The Roman Catholic
church was founded in the year
A. ID. 325 by Constantine, the
Roman Emperor. Constantine
was subsequently "sainted" by
the Roman hierarchy.
Constantine clearly compre-
hended that, try as you will.
you cannot separate church and
state. If the two are not openly
combined, then they must be
secretly affiliated
Religious interests, under the
sway of superstition. which is
but another name for ignorance,
indubitably reaches out for tenn
poral power.
The socalled separation of
Church and State has resulted
in every church struggling for
political privilege. if not COM
plete civil control.
Martin Luther proved no more
liberal in his conduct toward
"unbelievers" while he held
civil power than had the prelates
of the mother church. Also,
Luther did not lead the Reforma-
tion for the sake Of establishing
religious liberty, but 10 gain
material advantage and TO dom
mate certain territory in Eu-
rope. particularly in Germany
and Prussia.
John Calvin and John Knox both
proved as cruel and murderous
as the religious despots of Rome,
once they secured the civil power.
But whatever of cruelty or
atrocity was exercised by either
the Roman pontiff and his CO.
horts, or by John Calvin or John
Knox, was Ostensibly done in
the interest of the Church of
Christ, albeit that church was
Roman, Lutheran. Calvanistic or
Presbyterian.
Then from those sects sprang
the numerous and lesser ones
with which Christiandom is in
tested. All these are striving
for power both spiritual and
They all acquire property
and as much as possible. As
their wealth increases their
munihcence is manifested in fine
structures and elegant equip

Jesus is called the founder of |
Christianity. But Jesus found !
ed nothing. He did not, in fact, |
express a single original idea.
Assuming that such a man ever
existed. the essence of mis- doc.

But there is not a church to-
lay nor has there ever been

'thic.
Therefore. the churches are
II institutions of graft and

Despite the debater's conten-
tion TO the contrary. Christian
ity Is of divine origin. Peter
was constituted the head of the
church by Christ himself. OF
this there can be no doubt, un-
less the veracity of the Scrip
lures be assailed. Being divine.
| il will never fail.
With the advent of Christian
ity the dawn Of civilization was
ushered in. Its beneficent i'm
| fluence began TO dissolve the
darkness and It's rays gathered
strength and spread wider and
wider all down the dark ages of
the past until today its influence
is felt and recognized in every
nation of the earth. Were il
not for Christianity the dark
ness and bitterness of the past
would only have been enhanced
and intensified as time wore on.
That would have been the only
logical outcome. But the fires
of Christianity were lighted by
Christ himself. and the result
has been that today the world
has advanced to a stage where
the bigOtry, the ignorance and
benightedness OF the past have
given way to civilization and un-
derstanding.
Perhaps if the debater would
study the pages of history for
seventeen hundred years back
he will find that crime has not
increased, injustice has dim
inished. and tyranny is less pre-
valent than seventeen hundred
years ago. Neither are the
poor as poor. and the rich of TO.
day were in most cases the poor
Of a few years ago. And the
church has not decreased i'm |
membership, according TO the
latest statistics. Therefore, the |
church is not a failure, and |
never will be because it is divine
ly instituted.
The debater takes for granted
things that cannot be proven or
borne out by facts. Because
Constantine" "comprehended that
try as you will, you cannot. sepa-
rate church and state. If the
two are not openly combined,
then they must be secretly
affiliated" +" Perhaps that might
have been the condition at the
time of Constantine, but can il
be proven to be the case today?
Also the statement that Martin
Luther did not lead the Reform
alton for the sake of establish
ng religious liberty. but to gain
advantage and to DOM
nate certain territory" is assur-
IDLY not borne out by the reading

depression which has been spread

reason for an expected advance
