Prescott, Sarveyor......St. Helen Frank Shrrood. Connor....... Baiuier ' TO STRENGTHEN CHARACTER. The Lord's Prayer should be revised to suit the peculiar views of the editor of the Oreponian. . "Deliver us from temptation" should read "Expose us unto temptation," for by this process only, argues the Oregonian, can merit be determined and charac ter formed. The devil, accord- 1 ing to this idea, is the greatest of benefactors, for he is the great i tempter, and. even if we discard the personal devil, we must, ac cording to this philosophy, give credit to the human devils who make it their business to tempt men, women, and children to their downfall. In this light the seducer is a benefactor, for. without his efforts, how could it be determined whether any wo- man had sumcient strengin 01 character to resist nersuasion Men and women must be moral salamanders, capable of passing through the fiery furnace of temptation and coming out un scathed. Little children should have thrown about them the at- mosphere of evil. Instead of the sacredly guarded home circle and the SundaQ School they should be placed within the reach . of the tempter. Lessons of evil 3 should be inculcated, and, if they resist them we will have a - race temptation-proof, of unas t sailable virtue and integrity. It will be indeed the survival of the fittest men and women with ' whom the editor1 of the Oregon ian will be proud to associate but few in numbers. "Paul. Paul, thou art beside thyself. Much learning hath made thee mad." " THE CLOSING YEAR. (H W. Scott.) Tlie Oregonian U newspaper of coin, tnott tents. It is It (ate, therefore, it i lis duly, to take !: stand and hold iu position against every general fallacy or (oily that invade the itate. It i on the right aide of this question, too, at it ha been on the right ile ot every Im portant question that baa arisen U the history o( the country. But It I no prescience; it is no miraculous or ex clusive gift ; it is ouly avenue judgment anil common sense, not to be shaken (rum their base by any crate or clamor. The gift of common sense, applied to Conditions as they exist, applied to problems of practical life, triumphs in the long run over all ill-considered in novation, masquerading u ider the pre tensions of reform. Balance of judft tuent, on conditions that must be dealt with in a state, is the rational and con trolling force; and this paper endeavors slway to find what that rational bal ance of judgment is, and to take its ttan I there. It may, it believes, prop erly sppeal to its history (or proof and maintenance of the general correctness and soundness of the positions it has taken on Important questions that have arisen in tbe course of Its career. Never has It been more confident on anytbiny than on its view of the proper treatment of the liquor question in this state will justify it judgment it fully b - lieves. Should it not now, it will later. (Ji-uviCaksai.)
