THE MODERN MIRACLE.

The venerable Judge Goodwin, who became famous as
editor of the Salt Lake Tribune years ago. is now publish
of Goodwns Weekly in the capital city OF Zon and his
editorials still show the fire Of youth sofened by flowers
of rhetoric that made him such power in the land when
great daily newspaper carried his thoughts and ideas
throughout the whole Rocky Mountain region and forced
the Mormon church to give up its poygamous practices
bow to the tenet of civilization and respect the law of
the land Judge Goodwin, in recent ISSUE comments
upon the wonderful feat Of teephonng the con-
nent and his tribute to the modern miracle is worthy
of reproduction:
"The telephone is modern miracle. We toss it about
carelessy scold the hello girls anthematize the
anagement it to vent spes to greet friends
to talk business nonsense and only now and then think
seriously what real glory it is
Nevertheless it is miracle We sit alone in rooms
at night when great storm is raging outside The winds
behind the Clouds all the elements are at war; the seet
ashes the windows; the air is filled with camors the
earth itself seems rocking under the beating Of the
tempest.
Suddenly the telephone bell rings, and in answer to
our CALL who is it?' the voice of one we love who is
hundred miles away sweet and low all the old fam
liar tones distinct and clear not one cadence lost.
"lf thus human voice can come to us through hulr
and tempest and greet us in the old way who knows
but when ies empests are all and the calm Of eer
nifty is upon us other voices that we loved and which long
ago grew still may not be heard again of old only
Joyous and sweet?
"At the thought new hope is born, that if the voices
of loved ones fight back the camors of the storm and
come low and sweet and absolutely distinct to us why may
not poor voices go out and find their way through the
tempess and the storms of this life and finally carry
prayers to the lnfinite's ear?"

MUST SHE OBEY?

An Indiana wedding ceremony was stopped because the
bride insisted that the clergyman should omit the word
She is not the first She will not be the last That little
word "obey" has long been a terrible bother.
But after ALL it makes little difference whether the
verbally promises to obey not The words
of the marriage ceremony count for little The real feel
ng and promises of marriage lie deeper than the lips
else they do not exist at ALL
1t is not any word of scripture or law or promise in
the marriage service makes the husband the senior and
ug partner but nature and the force of circumstances
The secret force lies in her character less than in his
The omission of the word in the service nothing new
and has never been apparent that makes the slightest
Inference Codbooded agreement that eliminates nat
ural sentiment leaves marriage barren of the sweet i'm
ouses and the tender sacrifices that alone consecrae

To the Legislative Assembly of Oregon;
At the close of the late fiscal year,
September l, 1880, the law entitled me
to $4,000 salary Of superintendent of
the pcnitontiary, from Nov, 1, 1878. If
it meets your approval, l shall be
pleased to have you expend such sum
in the purchase of the portraits Of ex.
Governors Aberncthy, Lane, Curry,
Whiteaker, Gibbs and Thayer. And If
anything remains, such other works of
art as you may choose for the adorn.
ment of the capitol. Such portraits, of
no small interest now, win increase in
value with passing years, and in time
will be considered invaluable by those
who are to come after US.
Very respectfully,

DR.. Andrew C, Smith did rather re.
markable thing during the afternoon
session, when he voted against his own
minority committee report on the bill
to appropriate $450,00O for irrigation
purposes When the time came for him
to cast his vote, he arose and said that
he had signed the minority report favor
ing the appropriation believing that
Eastern Oregon as a whole wanted it
and was entitled to it, but after hearing
the statements of Representatives Cart
mill and Clark, of Eastern Oregon. Mr..
Emore, and the telling remarks of Mr..
Stewart, and also of Mr.. Hare, he felt
that the right thing to do was to vote
for the indefinite postponement of the
bill calling for the approximation, and
he did so. Stewart of Fossil, who usu.
ally hits an appropriation bill like
pile driver, has been landing so hard
on the boys bills lately, that some Of
the members are talking of having the
fish and game committee incorporate in
the game laws an open season for

the contrary has attacked the house
concurrent resolution authorizing Sec,

oil painting of former Governor West
to decorate the walls of the hall of

form of graft that has been worked up
on the legislature since time immemorial
as it is known that a painting of a like
nature could be secured for 5000 or
5000 and the wording of the resolution
puts it squarely up to Secretary Olcott
as to whether or not he will allow the
full amount of the bill.
