Those who heard Judge Ben Lindsey last evening, at the high school audi torium in the fourth number of the lecture 'course were benefitted. No person could listen to his fervent ap peal to parents without having arous ed a conscience that may have. been wwiumiu ior a length of time. The Judge Is not an orator, neither Is he blesBed with the , physical strength and appearance to make him an "easy talker," but that all passes away after he has handled his subject for five minutes. One forgets oratory so Interesting is the tale of human life The newspaper talk relative to Judge W. R. Ellis being a candidate for apiolntlve office at the bands of the federal administration surely can not have foundation, Judge Ellis has been ' congressman from this district for several terms. Me held the respect of the people and a man of his years, we do not believe, can afford to. cheap en hia dignity and" force the people to believe he is in politics for the money, by trying far a federal appoint ment after going through a losing con gressional campaign. ' Such an occurence would Tie in line with many of Oregon's so-called big men, but there were those in. the state who believed Judge Ellis to be larger than some men who had held office In the past However; if he seeks an ap pointment he not only labels himself a Jub hunter at home, but with such broad, brainy men as Taft he must be looked upon as a village politician. The conclusion should not as yet be drawn on the Judge for there is ,noth- !ut ui'uuuo in tne report that he is a candidate. mentative material, er any Intellectual method whatsoever. "Dope" is a con traction of the phrase "Do you want 'ope," the last word of which is in turn an abbreviation of "opium." This used to be the question asked by the Chi nese proprietor of th: opium Joints in San Francisco. "Dope" came to mean the fancies that: would come to the man dreaming under the influence of opium, and finally to mean any mental material onjctore, argument or opinion.

(To the Edi tor of the Observer) Every now and then some person who has been at tempting to preach the gospel to a congregation "steps down and out" and then attempts to bring disgrace on others who have also preached the gospel. Men of this stamp are not un frequently very imperfectly educated for the ministry, and really know lit tle of the message that should be preached. Something of this sort hap pened in La Grande recently. A young man came out from the middle west a few years ago. and was installed here as a preacher in one of our churches. He looked so young as to suggest the question as to whether or not he had really been weaned. But notwithstand ing his youth, he preached some sort of gospel here for quite a period. He even preached politics, a thing that no real clergyman was ever ordained to do. Recently he resigned his charge and now he denounces preachers gen- j erally. He evidently has foreotten th command, .J Judge not, lest ye be Judg ed." : He, without knowledge as to others, pronounces preachers general ly to be dishonest, etc. He, is in a position to judge himself but he knows little of other men, and his Judgment is utterly worthless, as to his neigh bors. I . have heard that a clergyman asked him the other day where he studied theology; and he answered that he. had never studied theology. He came here to teach people about God and divine things without having studied theology, the Queen of Scienc es, which treats of God and divine things. It was a case of the blind trying to lead the blind, aaid th?' result could only be failure. Christ called his twelve apostles and .taught them three' years and then commissioned them to go into all the world and teach the people and to make disciples of all nations. Here is a young man sent out by some one without proper train ing to teach others what he himself was not well grounded in, and he goes to pieces, and thinks that, because he has made a failure all men who preach the gospel are failure. When he gets older he will see that he has made a foolish body of himself, and that he was In error in Judging others. It is a great mistake for any body of people, calling themselves Christians, to send men out to teach without anv chart or guide as to what tluy are to teach. You might Just as well send a man out to survey a township of land without a compass or other Instrument to guide him, as to Bend an untrained man forth to preach the gospel with directions to tell the people that all any one need believe to be a Christian Is that Jesus Christ Is the Son of God. Devils believe that. Great is the mys tery of Godliness, and men sent forth to preach the gospel should be care fully taught of the things that pertain to God and His church. Even they many are not very successful In mak ing disciples and planting and water ing the church. The ocean beach is strewn with wrecks. All callings have their failures. The Ill-prepared In all professions make great mistakes. Such Is life and men should not attempt to preach the Christian Gospel without careful training for the greatest of all callings. W. M.
