THE MENACE OF A RAILROAD STRIKE.

Hawaii has a vital interest in the railroad labor sit
nation on the mainland, now admittedly overcast BY
strike menace This territory is dependent upon
speedy shipment Of commodities than any state Tho
industry which is the foundation of ninety per cent
OF its economic life will be disasrously crippled by
railroad strike. A few days ago the Bulletin
printed figures showing tina, 900 tons of Hawaiian
sugar would be affected Since all eastbound sugar
is shipped from San Francisco by rail. the conse
qutnces would be much more serious now than in the
days when Americana hawaiian freighters carried the
sugar by the Panama Canal or Magellan water route
Further while Hawaii's financial strength might en-
dufetke crppling Of sugar transportation me holding
up Of mainland freights destined for territorial points
would be serious indeed.
The railway brotherloods are often pointed oit as
model union IN the present case their action does
NOT seem 70 Justify such commentator. The New
York city conferences having failed TO bring about
agreement the railway managers proposed arbitration
under the Newlands act but the labor leaders refused
TO afbitrate either their own demands the offers of
the railway operators.
The case IS eminently one for arbitration. If the
labor leaders unwilling to trust negotiations un-
der the Newlands act they cannot in justice object

From The Portland TELEGRAM.

The dry law, now operative in Oregon. is good
and logical law Despite all urging to the contrary
The thing do is to stand pat upon the enforcement
and efficacy of the law we have. On the one hand il
is unthnlable and would be iinwise and distinctly
rerogressve the brewfes to legal status in
this state ard on the other hand public sentiment does
not demand nor win It approve asmeasnre that pro-
poses alright prohibition.
The present dry law Is not sunptuary IN the offens
i've sense. Il was not aimed at the personal right
liberty OF any citizen does it deny these. Its
purpose to be rid Of the liquor trade as an econo
mic evil TO Danish the saloon and forbid the manufae
ture of ntoxicants in Oregon which means the main
tenance OF the saloon in one form or another. This
purpose has achieved effectually. We are not go

THE CHURCH AND DANCING.
From The Outlook.

What ought to be the attitude of parents and guar
dams toward dancing? fssN
The Roman Catholic Church in the United States
has issued decree with the approval of the Pope.
forbidding all dancing in church entertainments
The Methodist Charch has gone further. It's dis
cipline forbds all dancing. theatergoing, and card
playing: andthe late Quadrennial Conference reject
ed an amendmentabolishin this prohibition.
The tendency in most Protestant churches is in the
other direction Protestants in increasing number
directly providing for aswcll encouraging dancing
in connection with social settlement work under wise
guidance and direction. in the belief that when so
guided and directed il is exercise mentally socially,
and physically beneficial In at least some cases en-
courageent is directly given TO dancing pnder sup
erysion BY the church IN parish houses or bhet build
ings belonging to the church. For while must be
remembered thpt dancing II or time IS quite different
from dantiRg the time of Jesus, must also not be
fore6t,fh that jesus never nrhade dancing and his
OCCASIONAL Extremes e i imply APPROVAL There IS

been. described. !; Il ~ !, ~ ! 8 Is. 1
Thus three methods are suggested. NOT bniy to the
Churches. fbut to teachers parents and guardians:

the church. o that the chuEch win no longer be
any sense sponsor for 4 they may recognize it,
identity themselves with it.. TO that extent encourage
it. and by their presence and supervise
and regulate II
We have no hesitation in saying that, in our judg-
rnent the last of these methodsis the best method
We recognize the very serious evils rtain forms
of modern dancing. These evils are probably seen at
their worst in public balls and dance halls On the
other hand. little children take fodacihg naturally
as duck takes to water is nothing essentially
evil in rhythmic motion to The aeconpa Of mt-
SIC To Danish dancing from assemblies under the
control Of Christian people is dangerous To prohibit
dancing altogether is counter to nature, and is
generally futile To regulate dancing under proper
guidance Is both safer and mora practicable.
Regulation of dancing is better than prohibition,
and it is more in accordance with the liberty which
belongs to the disciples Of Jesus.

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS STRONG
FOR WILSON, dunno, KOSTNER
M. M. Stephens, who is managing
the campaign of Jos. o. Kostner, De-
mocratic candidate for congressman
at-large, in the southern counties of
Illinois, arrived in Chicago yesterday
with the announcement that the peo-
pie Of Southern Illinois are practic-
ally unanimous for Wilson and
Dunne-that never in his experience
has he seen such enthusiasm by both
men and women shown for a candi-
date for president and a candidate
for governor as is shown there at this
time.
AS Kostner is advocating a deep
waterway for Illinois he is meeting
with favor by the people of the south
ern part of the state and Stephens
predicts he will carry those coun-
ties. Stephens was for fourteen
years mayor Of East st. Louis.

There was a strong odor of gas, how
ever, says the Popular Science Month
I,y. and the eSperimenter applied a
light to the thimble, discovering that it
was full of holes, through which tiny
Jets of flame appeared. The impor-
lance of the result was that the illumi-
nation from those two or three tiny
jets was much brighter than had been
given by the great flare from the end
of the pipe. Acting on the principle
which this chance discovery revealed.

OUR GREAT WEST

1t is not often that the west asserts
itself. 1t is usually content to follow
the leadership of the east in matters
that are not of prime Importance. But
when the west has some to say and gets
up and says it the whole nation knows
what's what. for the west has the final
word in everything.
That is entirely as it should be. The
west is zig, virile, manly. 1t lives
close to nature and its conscience. 1t
worships God, not mamtnon and its
heart is not found in it's p~ocketbook.
The cast has long been termed effete.
It lives an artificial life and its views
OF the big things that count are distort-
ed by being seer through dollhouse
glass. Its thought is money and more
money and its actions are prompted by
it's purse.
The east, when elections come about,
viewed national issues from the pocket
book standpoint. 1t condemned the
Wilson administration for what it has
done to incomes, for what it had done
to the tariff and for what it had done
Tor humanity.
TheWest called upon to choose between
men and money chose to pin it's faith
on the man who had showed. through
three and one-half years,of e~ndeavor,
that he had placed humanity above pc
cuniary c0nsi derations. It viewed ma
tional issues from the pinnacle of JUS
ttce, through air as clear as it's own
atmosphere. and is cast it's vote for
woodrow Wilson.
America, for a generation, has been
accustomed to thinking that an New
York votes, 30 votes the nation. The
vest. differing with the narrow and
PATTY views Of the east, has challenged
that belief By proving itself capable of
thinking freely and without the guild
