THE CITY GROCERY AND BAKERY
E. POLACK, Propr.
AT ST.PETERS
A large congregation jttended St
Peter' church last night' orf the occasion
of Bishop Wells' visitation. After singing
the first hymn, James Wylie Dalton was
baptized by the rector. After another
hymn having been eung, the Bishop
preached a forcible and eloquent sermon
on the Resurrection and its practical ap
plication to the lives of Individual christ
ian. The confirmation of candidates
then followed, and a class of eleven was
presented to the Bishop by the rector
It was a very impressive and touching
sight to see the candidates kneeling for
the apostolic laying on of hands by which
the Holy Ghost was given and imparted
to each one. According to ancient cus
tom the girls were dressed in white dresses
and wore white veils. The Episcopal
church is very conservative and believes
in letting the ancient customs prevail, so
it is contrary to her practice for women
to worship with uncovered heads. The
Bishop, at the close of the confirmation
service, gave some practical and fatherly
advice to the class, based on the words
of the confirmation prayer that they
might increase mora and more until they
came to God's everlasting Kingdom. The
members the class were as follows:
' Mrs. Hagadorn and M rs. Vessey
Misses Mabel McClelland, Norma Cross
j Irma Aiken. Edna Taylor. Clara Pause.'
I Masters Harley McClure. James Neill,
Will NeiJI and Vernon Hagadorn. Miss
Lucrece Wood Is a member of this class,
but was unable to be present owing to
sickness. Bishop Wells will make an
other visit June 6th when she will be
confirmed. The rector hopes that one or
two others whom he has been trying to
persuade will make up their minds to
come forward at the same time and
renew their baptismal vows to continue
Christ's faithful soldiers and servants
unto their lives' end, and to receive the
gift of spiritual strength and grace in
O der to enabie them so to do.

THE STATE TREASURER
All the talk in which candidates for
the office of State Treasurer are engag
ing, concerning the disposition they will
make of the interest received upon public
assumption that the law will be violated
in the future as it has been in the past.
The statutes of the state declare that if
any person shall have in . his possession
any public money and shall loan the
same, with or without interest, he shall
be deemed guilty of larceny and shall . be
punished by imprisonmenn in the peniten
tiary not less tnan one nor more than
fifteen years, or by fine dt twice the
amount loaned. In the decision of a case
which involved this statute, the Oregon
Supreme Court said that to loan public
funds is crime. Every State Treasurer
who has loaned public funds did so with
the door of tne penitentiary ready to re
ceive him. How, then, can a candidate
for the office assume that he may or will
loan the funds and receive interest there
on, either for his own benefit or the bene
fit of the state?
Nothing is more certain in future legis
lation than that a law will be passed
providing for the deposit of publie funds in
banks, upon sufficient security approved
by aboard of state officers, and upon
such a rata of interest to be paid to the
state as may be agreed upon. Whether
the public funds shall be loaned or not
will be a question entirely beyond the
control of the Treasurer himself. He will
doubtless be one member of the Jboard
having charge of the deposits of public
funds when not in his personal custody,
but the law to be enacted will not leave
to any one man the power to determine
what financial institutions shall be select
ed as depositories of state money. If a
law should not be enacted, it wilt be be
yond the power of a Treasurer will have
no discretion in the matter of loaning
funds and collecting interest.
What kind of a law should be enacted
governing this subject is a problem more
appropriate for consideration by candid
ates for the Legislature. The most rea
sonable plan, and the one most equitable
to the several parts of the state, would
be one which provides for a pro rata
distribution among the counties, and an
open, competitive bid. For example, let
it be provided that surplus funds in the
State Treasury shall be deposited in banks
in the several counties of the state in
proportion p the amount of taxes each
county pays. Let sealed bids be received
from the banks of each county for the
privilege of acting as depository for the
funds apportioned to that county, the
bid stating the rate of interest the bank
is willing to pay on daily balances. It is
only fair tiat if money is to be deposited
injbar.ks, it be placed in the localities from
which it came, that each banker be given
an opportunity to socure it upon exactly
the same terms as any other banker, and
that the state receive all the interest
paid thereon. Of course, descsits would
be mad only upon ample security ap-
pooved by the board having control of
the funds. Oregonian.

(Observer Special)
Portland, April 1 9 The following tele
gram from J. R. Whitney, candidate for
state printer on the Republican ticket
show Mr. Dunniway up in the proper
light
To the voters of Union County:
It has come to my notice that Willis S.
Dumway, a candidate for state printer,
on the eve of election when it is too late
for reply, is flooding the state with cir
culars attempting to show excessive cost
of calenders and other state printing. The
form of calendar was ordered and di
rected by the legislature and not by the
state printer.
The figures given by Mr. Duniway are
grossly exagerated and for the most part
absolutely untruthful.. The report of
I. Dunbar, secretary of state, shows that
the entire cost of state printing, includ
ing paper, ruling, binding and whole cost
of maintainence was $35,000 per year
and not $100,000 as claimed in Mr.
Duniway campaign circulars. Let us
have fair play and a square deal, based
upon truth.
