It is a part of the common fund on which any one with anything to sell- merchan dise, labor, larm products- can draw. Money that is sent away from home is withdrawn from this common fund. It Ileitis to impoverish the entire communi ty. bond all me money away and all the people in the commit nity would ho "broke." The dol lar that you spend with the local merchant will continue to circa Into in the neighborhood, paying lawyer, doctor, carpenier, den tist. Ultimately it may return to you to be again started on its journey of purchase and pny ment. The dollar sent to Port land or to the mail order house goes to swell the bank account of a concern in Portland, Chica go or New York. It is lost to your community forever. Your neighbor can't get it, and you will never see it again. Can't you see that self interest tells you to do your buying at home? Can't you see that it is the part of wisdom to spend your dollar where you are likely to get it again? The advertisement in (his paper will aid you in decid ing where to make your pur chases, uniy the more reliable merchants can all'ord to adver tise continuously, and only the bettor grade of goods can stand such publicity. It is well that several sites arc being selected for consideration on a l)oii(l issue for park pur poses. With eay access to Port land parks, there is no real need of a large park in St. Johns. Small parks properly equipped would afford ail llie advantages needed in St. .lohns. Places of recreation, play grounds for the children and places for athletic and amusement purposes (111 all necessary requirements. Nor is it necessary that each of the small parks he adapted or equip ped to fulfill all these features. One park may be used princi pally for play grounds, another more particularly for athletic purposes, and others more ap propriately for restingand picnic purposes. For the latter views of the river and hills are essen tial features. The river ever affords a constantly changing and diverting attraction lor the eye, with river boats and other water craft constantly plying in and down upon iU bottom. There fore, a system of parks would be incomplete without a park over looking the Willamette. Hy the system aw outlined by the Com mercial club each of the four sections of the city would he en abled to have a small nark al most at its frontdoor, something that certainly would not happen weru the park proposition defer red until this city had become part of Portland. All the IhikI under consideration for park purposes are said to lie reimonn me in price, and regarded as good investments, which if found impracticable for the purpoatw lor winch they had heeit acquir ed later on could be turned into money at an advance over tho purchase prico. Therefore, in tho purchase of parks at this timo the city cannot lose, but is bound to profit by the invest ment!, to say nothing of the pleasure and enjoyment to be do rived from the parks. f 11.

H lldllUIldl DdlllV The "X-ray" Dress An Kastorn exchange has the following to any concorning the "X-ray" ihom: Much agitation hau boon arous ed ovor tho advent of tho "X-rny" draws, and in soinu cities it is tolerated and in others suppress ed. It is not within the prov ince of more man to ordain what women shall wear. If it were so the unhygienic and deform ing corset would long since have lieon abolished, the hobble skirt would novor have been, dead birds on women's hats would never have been tolerated, and unbecoming hoadgear so fre quently seen on the streets worn by ladios would not be permit ted. There is a great deal of tho incongruity and inconsisten cy in human nature. We go to theatres and view with compla cency and evon satisfaction act resses gracefully perform their parts 111 scant attire, and we call it art. Wo go to the seashore and witness the bathers disport ing in the water and on the sand without athoughtof immorality. Yet if the same costumes or those stowing less of tho human form nro worn on tho streets of a city we throw up our hands in holy horror and declaim that tho morals of tho community nro be ing corrupted. Why is it that otis manner at the seaside or in the theatre or in the artiralleries excites admiration? Can moral ity be shocked only on the streets, and its slumbers never disturb ed at places of amusement and recreation? Why is it that God's noblest work, the human form di vine, should be made a thinir of shame and repugnance and a I curse to the morals of the com munity when a portion or the outline of a portion of the hu man body comes before the pub lic gaze? There is most surolv a limit and a line drawn between decency and indecency, and wo nro perfectly willing to leave it up to the good sense of the wo men themselves to decide where hat line shall be. It rellects ser iously upon the morality and mentality of mankind when it is mpossihlo to pass a woman on the street with an X-ray gown on her body without arousing unchaste passions. It is easy to understand why a woman slim enough to almost take a hath in fountain pen. or who is de formed, should shrink from such a gown, while others who have been more kindly endowed by i Nature do not. It is not our purpose to uphold the X-ray dress, hut helieve it to lie purely a matter for the ladies them selves to decide. It is like most everything else some can see evil in it and others cannot, do pending entirely upon the state of mind of the individual. It is not, as we understand it, a dress inaugurated by the women of the underworld, but by oininontly respectable women. Therefore, let the ladies decide. Has Big Aim With the roturn of Supt. .1. N. ieeier anil wile mm an extended trip through the northeastery part of tho United States and southeastern Canada. the bunday school of the Church of Christ has shown added on- thusiaam in its work. Last Sun- day morning the Sunday school had special exercises in a desire to welcome the two "prodigals" home. At their last Workers' Confer ence plans were made and work started for the largest and most interesting Kally Day services the school shall have had. It will be remembered that on their last rally ll'&t were present. This year they havoone-half thousand as a mark to attain. They expect to reserve no honest elVort to reach this standard, and feel very sure of being oven able to surpass it. Committee chairmen have been appointed as follows: Place, h. II. Campbell; advertis ing, Airs, .lames Kelly; march, Jerome Whistler; program, su perintendents of different de partments; printing, David A. Hyerlee. it is their uosiro to securo a largo public building in which to hold the rally. Programs will probably be printed with a list of the exercises and spoakors and the words of songs used on that day to be given as souve nirs to all attending. October 5 has been set apart as tho day for this occasion, and a number of prominent speakers of the Northwest have already boon se lected to appear upon tho program. ut ht.
