Oregon BOOSTIXO TO HOLD BUSINESS. The National Prosperity Associa tion Is a movement to restore na tional confidence. It proposes to do it by substantially stopping the talk about hard times nnd to bring into tho business world and business con ditions a more wholesome and cheer ful view of essential facts. Up to a certain point it is a good idea, and has Its merits In about the same ratio as the advocation of a faith cure proposition would have to any business proposition. Up to a cer tain point it is a whole lot better to talk about good times than bad times, even if tho assumption is sub stantiated that public confidence is a mere matter ot sentiment. "But," adds the Wall Street Jour nal, "prosperity can not be made al together by talking prosperity. There must bo something else to support such a movement. This year it must have tho support of ample crops. It must have also the support of favor able political results. It must like wise have the support of a changed public attitude toward corporate in terests. This change must not in volve a reaction toward bourbonlsm, a reversal of nil that has been gained for tho uplifting of American busi ness methods In tho last few years. But It must involve a cure of that hysteria which leads to extreme radi cal agitation against property rights and investment interests." Tho most optimistic person will admit that along these lines of theory most of the causes for public discontent are psychological. There 1s, however, one important thing not to bo overlooked. Wild politics can destroy the confidence of a nation in one night. ! t AT THE CHURCHES t , EPISCOPAL rumen. S W. HORSFALL, Rector S, Rev.

The Question Discussed by $ Rev. Clarence True Wilson V':-v-:-vv-::'V':vv:'V':v-V':'V-:v:'VVV':'Vv":'VvvV':v-:V':'V-:'Vv OF DOUBTFUL EXPEDIENCY. There Is much reabon to doubt tho "wisdom of tho action ot the Repub lican State Convention, recently ad journed, in Its absolute suppression of Senator Bourne and all his friends as to any sort of recognition what ever. Mr. Bourne has some following in 'Oregon, at least is one of our United States seuatois; will servo yet lor two-thirdb of his ontlre term, and was entitled to some recognition In n state convention which has Itself no standing in the state law and was composed of men chosen by tho dif ferent county contral committees, To ho sure, It was necessary to hold a state convention, says tho Pondloton Tribune. Thoie was no better way to provide for it in tho absonco of any form under tho pri mary law than tho one adopted, and It was composed of representative republicans; but it Is extremely doubtful if this form of absolute ef faccinont of ono of our United States sonators was an exhibition of good policy, or if it will luivo a beneficial effect upon tho party In tho future. Thero woro soiuo of Senator Bour ne's frionds who uro strong Taft inon, oven though tho senator Is not, and tho recognition of a fow of thorn would have savored less of intoler ance and more of a disposition to concedo tho rights of minorities, whoso support is at all times neces sary to assure success. Snap judgmont nnd tho thumb screw, especially whon rigorously ap plied, aro not tho most approved in- greuionts in the lormation or a healthy and cffectlvo political party. It is bitch "drastic" measures as this action by tho Stato Convention that created a. btrongcr demand for primary laws and soiuo of the move ments lu its walio that border on tho absurd. The platform It adopted is In tho main composed of sound doc trino, but tho rights of minorities should, In sonio dogruo nt least, havo boon recognized. It pays to bo genorous within rca Eonablo bounds, mid Bolflshnoss is nt tho very foundation of most of human troubles. At the North Bend Methodist Epis copal church, the regular services will be held. The Rev. W. R. F. Browne of Marslifleld, will preach In the evening on "What Makes a City or a Nation Great."

All strangers aio especially In vlted. Tho question is not whether the women have a right to vote, but It is whether we have a right to compel them all to vote at the dictation of a very small minority of their own number. It Is certain the vast majority ot our women do not wish the ballot. The laws for the protec tion of women are improving steadily with the years and every Interest of hers is as well " safe-guarded as that of any men. If you wish to protect the rights of women, ask yourself today, does my wife want to vote, does my sister, doe3 my mother claim it to be her privilege? If they do not, what right havo I to compel them to do it by my ballot? But It Is said we need the ballot of women to aid us In government. But Is it expedient? Will society be Improved by the granting of the ballot to women? Will the better element of women come to the front as political workers and All our of fices, or will the worse? Which Is the better element of women? The quiet and unassuming queens of our homes, our mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts, or will politics be controlled by the clubwomen? This is not an untried experiment. Four states have given the ballot to wom en unconttitlonauy, ana alter 3U years of women's voting, politics has not arrived at tho moral standard of our own state, in Wyoming, Colo rado, Idaho or Utah. But you say, "There are not as many women as men In Wjomlng." Yes, but in Utah women aro so plentiful that seven or eight of them club together and keep one husband between them, and with this numerous company they have not closed the saloons, or closed the brothels, or prevented gambling dens, or purified politics. Indeed, there are not four states In our Union where politics is so cor rupt as in the four states where women vote. It Is a sad picture where a man, for the sake of ofllce, sells his Integrity, but It Is a sad der, and a common sight, in the states where women vote, to see wo men sell their virtue for offices.

In every woman's suffrage state, the proverb has had a double emphasis that "Pontics make strange com panions."

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., May 13, 1908. Mr. Edward Rosen berg, Astoria, Oregon: In response to a request from Sir. Hylen I am giving you my opinion as to certain matters connected with the salmon fishing In the Columbia. As you know, I was the first Commissioner ever sent out to Investigate tho sal mon. I spent some time In Astoria in 1880 and I have made a number of visits there or farther north in the same interest since then. I have not changed my opinion In this time as to these matters. (1) The flsh wheel and the sta tionary tra"p in the Columbia River should he abolished. It would be well for the fishing interests of the country if the stationary trap in all of its various forms was everywhere eliminated, for this is the most des tructive and undlscriminating kind of fishing. On the Columbia, where the river is narrow and swift, the i fish fectlveness of that industry times when the water is clear. Very truly yours, DAVID STARR JORDAN at all ORANGE GRANGE SPEAKS. The Oregon State Grange passed the following resolutions at Its meet ing this month: Whereas, There has been reforred to the Committee on Resolutions for consideration two flsh bills relat ing to the fishing industry to be voted on at the June election, bills No. 319 and 332, respectively: Your Committee has carefully ex amined into these two bills as far as their time would permit and have to report that we favor proper pro tection to all natural spawning grounds; and to that end we con demn as a great detriment to said industry and to our State the opera tion of fish wheels in the narrows AAA':-AAAA;-AAAAAA:A:-AAAAAAAA'f'AA:-A'5-A ( Removal Announcement The First Trust and 3.

(3) I would also recommend that a careful study of gill-net and similar methods of fishing be made, with a view to the ultimate interest of the fishing industry, as even if worse forms of fishing were eliminat ed, thero aro still perhaps too many gill-nets for tho size of tho river. To prohibit gill-net fishing after dark would virtually destroy the ef- Enjoy Your Outing With an Eastman Kodak, Premo or Century Camera Full line at RED CROSS DRUG STORE Catalogues on application To save Columbia River Salmon vote as follows: True Fish Bill 332 Yes. 3 33 No. ' Fislmheel Owners' Trick Bill 3T8j Yes. 319 X No. Save this clipping until election.

Let them now show that they are honest by voting in accordance with their de clarations. The Oregon election conies before the Repub lican National Convention. Let every Republican voter in the First Congressional District uphold tho honor of the Re publican Party In Oregon and strengthen tho influence of Oregon's delegation in tho National Convention by voting for II. M. Cake for United States States Senator and W. C. llawley for Representative in Congress. If either of these Republican nominees fail of election, the Primary election system will bo discredited and a return of boss rule will bo invited. The good namo of Oregon's voters will bo smirch ed nnd Oiegon's delegation to tho National Convention will bo placed In a humiliating position. For tho effect it will have on tho November election it is imperative that all tho Republican nominees in tho Juno election shall bo elect ed by an overwhelming majority.
