Iloseburg extends a cordial, sin-i-nre welcome to the Oregon repre sentatives of the great Methodist Kplscopal church who come here to deliberate in their sixty-third annual conference. It IB a. distinguished honor to have been selected from among all the other cltlfiB of tho state, as the place to hold this meet ing so full of meaning, not alone for the church and its Individual members, but for all humanity, for th0 work embraced in those days of busy (consultation and preparation will not be confined to the limits of tho state, nor even the nation, but 'will extend and cover the vast scope of the earth's surfneo. According to the latest nvnllnblo statistics, hern aro scattered over the length and breadth of this Innd, over twenty eight thousand churches belonging In the Methodist Episcopal chiircn with a membership of more than throe and onb half millions, find if one were to count all the momber- nhln embraced under the common . head of Methodists, tho grand total Is many thousands over the seven million mark. Aside from tho bene flcence of this great organization In Its own homo communities, and over tho nation. ItB chnrlty and sympathy nnd benevolence through Its foreign missions covers the entire fnco of the nlobe. and carries the Gospel of Truth tb the benighted of every land. While the conference here la primarily a business one. there are to be ninny opportunities for apirltunl refreshment, for among the delegates and visitors present will lio some of tho most prominent put pit orators of the country who will address the people on church nr worldly topics, every evening, nnd on the Sabbath dny tho other pill niu In tho clly will be filled wllh masterful Bpenkers assigned for this purpose from among tho many who aro here. NO MONEY FOR MUNITIONS Tho big loan naked for by the rep resontatlves of the allies from the banking Interests of this country, is practically assured with a reduction of the sum total to ono half of tho original amount, nnd with tho furt'i or condition that none of this is to be used to pay for munitions of war specifically such as powder, shells nnd kindred articles. These, of course, enn sllll bo bought, but pay ment must be made from their own supplies of gold as heretofore, and not with borrowed money. This would seem to be a satisfactory ad justment of the question, as those who have not been In favor of mak ing this hmn run offer no logical ob jections against lis uso for tho pur chase of the manufactures of our mills, or tho product of food stuffs from our fiirins. Some dny, perhaps, the nations niny agree among each other riot to permit the sale of death dealing Instruments or muni tions of war to any belligerents, per mitting them to fight It out with their own resources, but the mlllen lum Is also expected to come some dny, nnd when the funnel- Is put into execution we niny begin to be Hovo tbnt the latter Is close at hand.

Delirium THE other day a news Item told of a case of delirium tremens In A city lock-up, and described how the physician employed by the city Instructed the police to turn the hose on the prisoner whenever he misbehaved. That prisoner, or his relatives, ought to obtain handsome damages from the city that perpe trates such criminal malpractice. Delirium tremens, Jlke hysterical seizures, Is a disease Reserving care ful treatment and not Inhuman abuse. Indeed it Is a very fatal disease under the most skilful treat ment. A city lock-up or a Jail cell is no place for such a man; no matter what caused his Illness, he deserves humane, intelligent care In n Insti tution properly equipped for the purpose. There are hospitals that object to the trouble of caring for Buch .cases, but not public hospitals; the little, one-horse institution, ca tering to the easy cases, 1b usually averse to receiving a case that de mands much nursing. Patients ' with delirium tremens die of "wet brain" edema or dropsy of the brain, due to a steadily in creasing weakness of the heart and circulation. Obviously a police guard, or a cheap, political police Burgeon who consentB to assume un reasonable responsibilities for tho sake of his Job, cannot rccognlzo the approach of this Berlous brain in volvement and so many a poor fel low Buccumbs in a cell who might have been saved and cured of his craving If ho had been given a fight ing chance. Another danger ever present in cases of delirium tremens is the de velopment of sudden edema of the lungs, or rapid filling of the air spaces with fluid, which causos asphyxiation and death in a few hours if not detocted and treated in time. And of course pneumonia Is the drinker's favorite mode of exit. In this day of enlightenment a public official who permits a prisoner to remain in a cell under such cir cumstances should be made to tool Dr. Urtitly trill anstrcr all aucU.om yertaimnn to Health.

Vest Pocket Essaus GETTING GETTING out doors hns become the great American remedy for everything, including business and the tox trot. America contains more outdoors than almost uny nation. If all the citi zens of the United States were to gat outdoors at once they would have to talk with each other through mega phones; It is possible for almost evory free-born American to go out doors nt no cxpenso nt all and brenlhe In huge quantities of ozone and good spirits. Ozone clears the brain, strengthens the legs, Improves tho digestion, rec tlllcs the temper and makes one more particular about voting for tho right candidate. After a man has spent a couple of years outdoors he is usu ally a philosopher who Ignores tho high cost of living and cannot wait to quarrel with tho waiter before eat ing his meals. Many people spend vast sums in getting outdoors. My taking a wnd of bills as thick as nn nutomobllo tire one may travel to a very superior brand of outdoors in Alaska or other secluded sections. However, it is net necessary to do this. The outdoors around homo' may bo slightly tinc tured with coal smoko and profanity, but It Is good enough for nil practi cal purposes. lly walking. home nt night Instead of doing a Sal dino sketch lii tho sub way the citizen of seething New York caii acquire a larger chest measure and a superb indifference to tlte toughness of chuck steak, to say noth ing of a good knowledge of architecture.
