therefore oppose only bad dances. y
This was the statement Yesterday of
Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner, of the
Episcopal church, who Saturday night
at Oregon City played couple of
popular pieces on the piano while the
parishioners of the st. Pauls Episcopal
church danced. The occasion was n
parish reception to Rev. Thomas ] vii.

"rhe best way to do away with the

are often held in parish houses of the
Episcopal church.

gem OF THE PACIFIC"
NOW BLACKENED RUINS
City Of Avalon Wiped OF the
Map--FTe Spares the
Catholic Church

Avalon, Catalina Island, CAL, Nov.
30.-Nearly two-thirds of the beauti-
full island city of Avalon, known the
world over as a most picturesque spot,
lies in ruins today, the result of yes
terday's disastrous fire.
The damage, variously estimated af-
ter the fire was controlled at from
$500,00 to 100000, is stated by the
Santa Catalina Island company to be
between $4,000 and 100000, about
half insured.
Two hundred people are homeless.
Tents, food and other necessities have
been sent by steamer from San Pedro
and while there was considerable suf-
fering during and after the fire, every
one is now being cared for.
All the old land marks are gone.
BY curious freak of the wind, the
Catholic church was saved. The fire
swept up to its very doors when the
wind changed. 1t stands today serene
and untouched in the midst of black
ened ruins.
A searching investigation will be
made as to the origin of the fire. Many
rusnoTs of ineendiarism have been
heard, but no trace of the alleged cul-
prits has as yet been discovered.

The month Of November, passed out

Republicans Hoping in Vain

The standpat republicans came out
so much better in the Congress cleo
tions in November than many of
them had expected that the party or
ganization was suddenly strengthened
and leaders began once more to plan
for complete recovery from the crush
ing defeat of 1912. In other words,
they took courage and set the ma
chinery in motion for stirring cam
paign in 1916.
But the republicans are basing their
hopes and expectations on bust
ness conditions being unsatisfactory
when the next presidential election
year approaches. They will be dis
appointed. The main argument that
the republicans advance for their
party is that it is the business mans
party-the party that keeps the mills
running and that brings prosperity to
the merchant. But no one is influ-
enced by talk of that sort. Certainly
no intelligent voter will be deceived.
The panic of 1907, from which bust
ness has never fully recovered, came
while the republican party was in
power. On the other hand the most
substantial business revival since 1907,
despite the European war, is now in
sight. This year of 1915 is, unless all
signs fail, going to be good year
for everybody-a wonderfully pros
porous year for most people, and by
1916 every industry and every branch
of business will be making new high
records.
The democrats will achieve another
triumph at the polls in November Of
next year.

WAR ECHOES

Philadelphia Evening Ledger: Turkey
must be thoroughly disillusioned and sorry
that the Ottoman Empire was ever drawn
into the war. The Dardanelles are under
bombardment by the allied fleet; three
armies have been broken by the Russians
and $4,000 prisoners taken; the worldwide
Moslem invasion did not materialize;
Egypt seems to have no serious fear OF
invasion. Ever since the Young Turk
movement became effective, hve years
ago, the Ottoman power has been weak
through internal dissension. The fatal
istic doctrine of Islam no longer gives
an element of invincibility to Moslen1 SOL
diers. Altogether, it seems as If the Sick
Man of Europe" were in his last illness.
Strategically, the inerectiveness of the
Turkish campaign Is an important factor
in the Eastern theatre of the war. Russia
will have more troops to throw across
the Carpathian mountains into Hungary;
with the Hungarian expedition free from
the menace that threatened from the eau
casus, the Galician movement can be
pushed with more force and confidence;
this again vii considerably strengthen the
Russian defensive and offensive in both
Poland and East Prussia. There is only
the slightest possibility now that Turkey
can collect herself and bulk large during
the balance of the war.

he said I would have to be identified. I
told him who I was and began to show
him cards and personal letters that I
hoped would settle any doubt he might
have. The teller was affable and was
disposed to be very friendly, but he said
I must furnish positive proof that was
the person to whom the money was pay
able.
While I was fumbfing with some pa
pers my Birmingham Rotary club card
happened to come to the top. The teller
asked, Are you Rotarian? L am was
my prompt reply. He then looked at the
card, saw my signature on it, and after
comparing it with my Endorsement on
the draft said, You are all right. Your
Rotary card will be ample Endorsement
at any teller's window"
After that I visited the Calvert bank
several times and always received the po-
litest attention.
