Of a verity, Spring is with us, and It is good to know that the annual report of the first blue bird has come to hand. But suppose the blue bird were a Jay? out of Salt Lake City, written by one Samuel Russell, can be but a straw. Its main argument Is that the senate beins organized to represent the states as contradistinguished from T. J.

"If the teachings of Jeu were ap plied In Oregon today, there would be a more radical change in condition thnn if the teaching of socialism wer In forci," said Rev. P. F. Schrock, pas tor of the First Congr-gatlonal church Tuesday evening. Ilia talk wa upon the question. "Wa Jesu a Socialist." and contained many startl ing statements. Dr. Schrock opened hi remark with a review of socialism, and pres ent day condition which brought It doctorin? to the attention or so many people. He (aid that socialism aimed to remedy present day trouble by economic changes, and by the placing of men and worn n In differ ent environment from those they now occupy. Hi also said that radi cal socialists saw aa the only method of readjusting existing conditions a class war between the wealthy and tiie rich. Contrasting with this th learning of Jesus, he quoted frequently from the scriptures to bring forth his argu-, ment that Jesus was a frlonj or tn ) poor and the oppressed and out of sympathy with the very rich. How ever, ha said, Jesus would better con ditions by altering tho character of men. rather than by altering their I physical conditions.

WATCHING THE COST Th-J Demo OF LIVING, cratic party has under taken to prove that the price of food can be reduced by low'ering the tar iff duties and treating tariff protec- j their election character when the people of a state elct their senators directly, instead of by legislative proxies. The oit'a of such an argument Is that the legislature of a state, and ! not its citizens, constitutes the state ; itself; that the sovereignity of a ! state is not inherent in its people ' who elect the legislators, but Is vest-; ed in the legislators by the fact of : that the people of a ferment of state conditions.

I Th?r is nothing in the wierd t'.on not only to as a public injury, but as a policy that violates th con stitution. As the party that takes this stand is In full executive and legislative control, and Is at work on the task it has courted, It must now proceed to make good, or run against a failure, which will not b-i its first. It must show at the start that it is thought of Samuel Russel of Salt canable of a sufficient degree of bar- Ike to weaken the conviction tl-.at mony to carry through a tariff pro- this gram.
