Scott, for nearly half a century editor of the Portland Oregonian, greatest of western editors and foremost cit izen of Oregon. lie played an important role in the de velopment of the state and aided largely in shaping its destiny. lie leaves as a monument the greatest newspaper in the northwest, which during his long career has main tained a foremost place in the journalism of the nation. Mr. Scott was one of the old school of editors, of the type of Ilenry Watterson and the late Charles A. Dana, whose fame was due to their gifted personalities, univer sal knowledge, mastery of English and talented pens. They were great as writers on current events, their pro ductions were finished essays, which were a delight to read. They were a type developed in the age of personal journalism, before the commercialization of the press, when the editor, and not the business office, made the paper and dictated its policies. With the exception of a term as collector of customs in the early 70s, Mr. Scott never was rewarded with politi cal honors, in spite of great services to party. He was offered many distinguished posts, but always declined them. It is said that he coveted election to the United States senate, where he would have honored Oregon, but it was not to be, and as editor of Oregon's greatest paper he honorably occupied a place far more important. Mr. Scott was one of the great men in the making of Oregon and will occupy an exalted niche in Oregon's tem ple of fame. He had many bitter enemies, as all do who try to do anything worth while in the world; he had warm personal friends, for those who knew him well loved him; and he had a nation full of admirers, all of whom unite in mourning Oregon's loss. Desecration of the Sabbath (Bv Rev. Francis Van Clnrenheek. WHERE READING MAKES MONEY. NOT much is left of the old impression that the ads were tiresome reading. Perhaps thev mav have been in the days before they came to reflect the business spirit of the hour, and to be to all people who take a real interest in life as it is lived in this city a never exhausted source of "opportunity news." I'n these days the ads are the keys of things. They give us clues, hints, facts that appeal to our selfish in terests. They repay our attention in money money saved in purchases; money made in ventures. They are a non-negligible factor in life as we live it. They are not dull unless life itself is dull. And it is not. I read the editorial "Worship of the Great God" n last Sunday's issue of th" Mail Tribune with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction, as the opin ion expressed by you regarding the great danger that threatens with ut ter ruin our Christian civilization has been and is my own unshaken con viction. Business has been carried to such an absurdity that some peo ple, if we can Judge them by their actions, have come to believe that they cannot prosper and hoard up enough of dollars and cents unless they rob the Almighty of what be longs to him, namely his Christian Sabbath. Sunday, or the Lord's day, is consecrated by tho Christian world to public worship, to rest from ser vile work and relaxation of mind and body, by Innocent and honest recre ation in order to commemorate tho resurrection of our Savior from the tomb, by which he consummated the work of our redemption and to fore shadow the glorious resurrection of the elect and tho eternal rest that will be theirs in tho life to come. The Christian Sabbath is a living witness of revelation, an abiding guardian of Christianity. The religious services held in our churches each successlvo Sunday are the most effective means for keeping fresh In the minds and hearts of the people the sublime and salutary teachings of tho gospel. The relig ious services held In our churches Inspire men with a revorenco for the divine law and causo It to exert a potent influence in tho moral guld anco of the community. It is safe to say that the Institution of the Chris tian Sabbath has contributed more to the peaco and good order of na tions than could be accomplished by standing armies and the best or ganized police force. Tho officers of the law are a ter ror, Indeed, to evil doers whom they an est for overt acts; while tho min isters of religion by tho lessons they Inculcate prevent crlmo by appeal ing to the conscience and promote peace in the kingdom of tho soul. It Is sad to note tho dangerous Inroads that have been made on the Lord's day. In our own little city the Sunday Is almost constantly being desecrat tlon, only last Sunday the hammer supplanted by tho newspaper nnd the was wielded with such forco and con-' magazine and salutary thoughts of stancy and In such close proximity j Ood, of eternity and of tho soul will to one of our churches that tho voice of the officiating clergyman was al most drowned by tho echo of the In strument. The obligation of wor shipping God has been impressed with indelible characters upon the heart of every human being. "Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day." Those people who so easily set aside God's eternal law are greater criminals than many a man who Is spending his life behind prisons bars. Perhaps he committed but one crime, and If given his liberty would not repeat his experience, but live as an honest and upright citizen. The desecrator of the Lord's day Is a constant danger to the Christian morality of the community as long as he continues In his damnable prac tice. Ho may not be a criminal In the eyes of the civil law, for the sim ple reason because there Is no law that enjoins him from working on Sunday. But for that reason he is no less a criminal In the sight of God and of heaven. He breaks, not a man made law, but a law promulgated by the eter nal law-giver from the very dawn of time and tho cradle of humanity. And tho man who hesitates not to trample under foot the commandment that tells ua "Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day" will not scruple to break the commandments that follew: "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and "thou shalt not steal" and 'thou shalt not bear false wit ness against thy neighbor." It Is high tlmo that these encroach ments on tho Lord's day are checked. If they are not tho day may come when tho peoplo will worship "the goddess of reason" as they did at tho time of tho French revolution In 1793. A great priest has said: "Leave a parish for 20 years with-' out religion, and Instead of adoring God, man will adore tho beast." The dny may come when the re ligious quiet now happily reigning in our well ordered cities will bo changed Into noise nnd turbulenco, when tho sound of the church bell will bo drowned by the echo of the be choked by the caros of business and by the pleasures and dissipation of the world. Wo here In America boast that we are a Christian nation and enjoy Christian civilization. Let us they respect and reverence the laws and the day of him who made It possible for us to enjoy the bless ings of civilized life. Perhaps tho desecrators of tho Lord's day disclaim belief in Chris tianity and feel under no obligation to keep the Lord's day. These peo ple seem to forget that thoy live in the midst of a Christian people and that they are supported all around them by an enormous mass of relig ious feeling and religious conviction. They forget that they breathe a Christian atmosphere, Porbn'ps they were raised by good Christian par ents and after having climbed up the ladder they kick down the ladder by which they climbed up and would persuade others to live without a mo tive to live and leave them to die without hope. Tho best thing those people can do is to move out of the midst of a Christian country and a Christian people to somewhero In the South Sea Islands or some other country where tho religion of Josus Christ has not gone and cleared tho way and made decency and secur ity possible and then ventilate their views. Would to God that there existed a perfect harmony between the civil law and tho eternal laws of heaven and that tho civil law considered tho breaking by unnecessary servile work of tho commandment, "Remember that thou keep holy tho Sabbath day," as much a crlmo as the break ing of "Honor thy father and thy mother," "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not commit adultery," "Thou shalt not bear falso witness against thy neighbor," etc, etc. After all, It should. Because, to use tho words of Judge Mllburn of tho supremo court of Montana, "God made tho laws; all man docs Is to make tho bylaws." I do not believe In a Puritan Sunday. But I believe In first giving to God what belongs to him, and then In be ing cheerful without dissipation, grave and religious without sadness nnd melancloly. God made not man for the Sabbath, but tho Sabbath for the man. I would heartily wolcomo a law on our statute books that would keep tho desecration of tho Lord's day from nt least oponly insulting the best people in the community and from scnndaltnzing tho children and from offending thoso who, believing In the divinity of Jesus Christ, ren der unto him on tho Lord's day that adoration and that worship that are due to him. s " ; Pure Clear Sparkling You can't afford to do without this splendid, refreshing drink.
