Nonpartisan Government.
The Courier la not particularly par
tial to any candidate for a Clackamas
County office on account of his Party
name. It does not appear that anyone
who has given the subject a little con
sideration cares any more about the
political beliefs of a man working for
the County than he cares abut the
political beliefs of the man working
for him on his farm or In his factory.
The question in either case is, will
tbe hired man earn his pay. In fact it
is a question of ability in the man. If
any one is letting party habit blind
hlra to such an extent that he votes
without exercising reason or judge
ment if he is exercising his right to
the ballot with about as much dlscre.'
tion and foresight as a chinaman might
bo expected to display, he had best
cast a few votes for candidates out
side his party to convince himself
that he is still a free and independent
subject.
The efacement of strong party lines,
the abandonment of party prejudice,
the decided independence of elctors
have done their effective work toward
bettering local government. When a
single party controls and knows that
it controls absolutely the political sit
uation there Is no longer a check on
it and office holders under Is become
lax In the performance of their duties,
careless and Indifferent concerning
the claim of the public to courteous
treatment. There is occasionally a
man In every party who "votes tbe
ticket straight" but such men are rare
in these days. If Clackamas County
concludes to select abut half of her of
ficials from each of the two stronger
political parties next June there will
be some fellows busy during the next
two years endeavoring to make re-
cords that will be a credit to them
The official force will be made up in
about this manner too if party prcju
dice Is laid aside and the voter casts
his ballot for the man. This party
loyalty that the politicians talk so
much about may be a good cry to get
voteg on but it's a gold brick for the
taxpayer.
Fleets Ship Unfortunate.
Oregon has suffered unmeasureable
injury In falling to secure a visit to
her principal hnrbor of the great batt-
tie sip fleet. The Injury lies in the
fact that it has been advertised to the
whole World that the waterway from
Portland to tho Ocean is not deep
enough to admit vessels of the draught
of our large battleships. Eastern capi
talists reason that if Portland is not
on a par with San Francisco and Seatt-
tie In shipping facilities her future is
not assured and they will Incline to
ward holding their investments away
from the Rose City. Many do not un
derstand how Important It Is that a
Pacific Cpast City have the confidence
of Eastern capitalists if she would
prosper and grow. It 1b surprising, too,
how easily this confidence, when once
obtained, may be Bhaken.
The (loot would have had no difficul
ty In coming to Porttland. This State
has not, during the past few years,
had great influence at Washington.
We have had some weak men In the
delegation that is supposed to look
out for Oregon's Interests and all of
our representatives have been at a
disadvantage on account of the ill re
pute and subsequent prosecution of
some of Oregon a most prominent pub.
He men. Our crooked politicians being
now pretty well done away with we
may be able to sond capable men to
Washington, who will be free from
this grout handicap and Oregon may
bo again in a way to hold her own
with other Const Statos.
Initiative Measures.
Every registered voted has receiv
ed a pamphlet containing the text of
the Inlatlve measures that come up for
acceptance or rejection next Juno. In
the same booklet are arguments for
and Rgulust most of tho measures. Re
garding many of tho measures there
will bo a doubt In the voters mind
whether they should be carried or de
feated. The question in put fairly and
fully before the voter however and a
question so submitted Is nearly always
properly solved. It is to be hoped that
few will vote at random. If a measure
has real merit and is voted down this
time it will be brought up again and
it Is bettor to take no action on a pro
position thnn to take such action as
we will later regret. So it would be
best to vote on all of tho measures
submitted voting for those we aro sat
isfied, after investigating, are good
and against those regarding which we
aro unnblo to form a satisfactory
opinion. Falling to vote on a measure
may permit it to pass and later It may
appear to be the very one that should
have been refeated. Remebor, it will
bo before us again If It Is really need
ed and wo may well proccod very care
fully with our new mode of legislation.

Japan, could Invado the Pacific Coast,

a land fight with the rest of the coun
try?" This is one of the questions pro
pounded by Pearson Hobson, congress
man from Alabama and hero of the
naval fight at Santiago, who Is now
touring the Western country lectur
ing on the possibilities of trouble in
the future and the necessity for pre
paredness. Hobson's mission is one of
bringing the American people to a
realization of the fact that the world
is changing and that one of the re
quisites of national safety is a compe
tent and sufficient force to meet pos.
sible emergencies. The American peo
ple have been particularly fortunate
In past wars. Captain HoDson poimea
out, but as the great Napoleon once
said, "victory generally goes to the
side of the heaviest battalions regard
less of prayers and supposed divine
favoritism."
Unpreparedness for war has become
almost a national charcterlstic, it was
pointed out. The keynote of that is
economy. Congress is loth to spend a
few dollars, cutting on military and
naval appropriations wherever possi
ble. Captain Hobson said that the peo-
pie must come to the realization of
future dangers from rapidly rising uri
ental nowers. before it is too late,
Otherwise the lesson may have to be
learned at the cost of millions in
money and thousands of lives.'
There is a movement in the State
of Oregon even, to hold up a small ap
propriation for armories for the proper
training of hundreds of National
Guardsmen In the State, was news
which Captain Hobson received with
considerable surprise. He said there
was no investment which the people
might possibly make that would give
so large a return in due time. Trained
cltien soldiers constitute our great
hope, he said, since the policy of the
country is to keep a mere handful of
regular army. "I hope the people of
Oregon will not be so short sighted
or so negligent of their duty to the
nation as to vote down a measure of
that kind at their June election."
When Speaker Cannon shall have
given the gavel its last thump on his
desk for this session of Congress, there
will have been recorded an unprecl
dented public expenditure. This Con
gress came to Washington amid the
shock of financial disturbance in the
early Fall, and it has made appropria
tions for the first session of the 60tb
Congress that will exceed a billion
dollars. Only a few years ago the first
billion dollar Congress in the time of
Speaker Roid astonished the country.
Now it has reached the billion dollar
mark in the first session of a Congress,
and there is every possibility that it
will have opproprlated two billions of
dollars before the GOth Congress steps
out on tho 4th of March, 1909. It must
be remembored' also that this great
appropriation comes with a nearly
empty Treasury, and facing a deficit,
for the fiscal year of about sixty mil
lions dollars and for the entire year
ending December 31, one hundred mil
lions, nearly all the yearly appropria
tion bills have received consideration
from the lower House, where under
the law they must originate. Not one
bill has been passed by this Congress
which does not show an increase
above the corresponding bill of last
year. This increase runs over $300,
000 first in the Indian bill, twenty-six
millions of dollars the increase in the
naval appropriation bill. The appro,
piiatlons of this session exceed those
of the second session of last Congress
by over one-hundred millions of dol
lars, and to this amount must be ad
ded tho public building bill appropriat
ing twenty thousand dollars and ur
gently demanded by those having close
districts where the dlstiibutlon of
the money is expected to turn the tide
of votes. It is quite natural from a po
litical point of vlow that the Demo
crats are making use of these facts
and figures in campaign documents,
and are expecting political advantages
from the record of the party In power.
One of the greatest attractions of
Portland's Rose Festival will be the 50
nillo and 100-mile automobile spoed
contests to be held during the after
noon of Thursday, June 4th. This will
be the greatest racing event ever held
on the Pacific Coast; the course lies
East of the city, each lap being 14
miles, and a grandstand seating 10,000
peoplo has been erected in full view
of the start and finish of the races. No
machines will be allowed to enter
which are not capable of a speeed of
GG miles per hour. Three magnificent
sllvor trophy cups are offered for
each race ono valued at $500, one at
50, and four at $100 each. The en
tire course will be oiled and In per
fect condition, tho roads being closed
to all traffic during the hours of tho
races and guarded by attachment of
the Oregon National Guard. A field
oppolslte tho grandstand will be re
served for the use of any who mny
wish to view the races from automo
biles or carriages, while telephones
stationed at different points will re
port the progress of the races, an

"DEMONSTRABLE RELIGION"
A Lecture by Frank H. Leonard, C. S. B., of Brooklyn,
New York, Member of the Christian Science Board
of Lectureship of the First Church of Christ
Scientist, in Beston, Massachusetts.
The lecture on Christian Science at
Shively's opera house last Monday
night was listened to by a large, at
tentive audience. The lecture was
given by Mr. Frank H. Leonard, of
Brooklyn, N. Y.( one of the regularly
appointed lecturers comprising what
is termed the Christian Science Board
of Lectureship of the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, Mass.
Mr. Leonard has an excellent deliv
ery and easily held the attention of
his hearers for an hour and a half.
He was introduced by Mrs. Georgo
Herren, formerly of this city, but now
of Portland. Mrs. Herren said:
"In behalf of First Church of Christ,
Scientist, of Oregon City, it is my
pleasure to introduce to you Mr. Frank
H. Leonard, C. S. B., member of the
Christian Science Board of Lecture
ship, of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, of Boston, Mass., who will
speak to us on the subject of Christian
Science. It gives me great pleasure
to do this, since I stand before you as
a living witness of the efficacy of
Christian Science. Fifteen years ago
I was given not more than two years
to live, having wbst the physicians
pronounced an Incurable organic dis.
ease. I was healed by Christian Sci
ence treatment and since that time
this science has met my every need."
LadleB and Gentlemen:
The Christian Science Board of Leo
tureshlp, If which I have the honor of
being a member, has been organized and
Instituted, under the direction of Mrs.
Eddy, for the purpose of affording those
desirous of knowing what Christian Sci
ence Is, and what It teaches and does
for mankind, an opportunity to get this
knowledge through an authorized chan
nel. The work of this board Is supremely
educational, and is accomplishing the up'
lifting of munklnd to a plane of thought
wherein It finds It possible to accept liod
as being Infinite Good, without making
any reservation, either to Himself or His
creation.
Many peoplo approach the study of
Christian Science, or demonstrable Chris
tianity, with a feeling that, while It may
do and has done much for some of their
friends, It cannot do so for them because
they lack faith In It. For the benefit of
the skeptical, I am going to tell you how
absurdly without fulth or even knowledge
I was, when I first went for a Christian
Science treatment; how absurd It seem
ed to me, and what it did for me regard
less of all this.
I was born with an Incurable organic
disease, according to tho physicians, and
up to the time when Christian Science
was presented to me had never known a
day of freedom from pain or suffering.
I had taken medicine by the quart, the
allopath way, and by the attenuated
hundredth part of a drop, the homeopath
ic way, and then alternated the two
ways, and that waB eclectic, and the con
clusion, of the physicians was that, dis
solution was at hand.
At this point In my experience I was
told a new wav of treating disease was
being used with wonderful results! That I
people calling tnemseives unristian sci
entists were saying that God's Word had
not lost Its power to destroy sin, disease
and death. It was suggested, as every
thing else had failed, that I tiy this new
way as It might benefit me.
I had tried everything and was wil
ling to try this, so went for my first
Christian Science treatment without the
slightest idea as to wliut was going to
be done to me. When I reached the home
of the practitioner who had been recom
mended to me, I was compelled to wait
some time because of the many ahead
of me. When my turn came I was ush
ered into a small room and asked to be
seated In a chair as far removed from
the one in which the practitioner an as
the size of the room would permit.
Tho llrst Question asked was "What
seems to be the matter with you?" I
felt It was adding Insult to Injury to ask
me whnt seemed to be the matter with
me, and I told the practitioner, who was
a woman, the physicians said I had an
incurable d I sense, telling her what name
thev had given it. She talked to me a
few moments, and then said, "I will treat
you." Then she seemed to go to sleep
for about liftesn minutes. She closed her
eyes and commenced rocking back and
forth in her chair.
The belief that she could do me any
good while wo were sitting at opposite
mis of the room began to strike me ai
being too funny for anything, and at last
I Wiis compelled to Bturt my Handker
chief in niy mouth to avoid the dlscourt
sey of laughing In her face. After a
while she woko up, and suiu: "I will see
you tomorrow at the same time,
thouuht she would not I had no inten
Hon of ever going back, there. I asked
her how much I owed her, and she told
me, and ns I paid her I thought It was
the easiest dollar 1 had ever been sep
arated from. Then I went home; I went
to my loom, and there on the shelf was
tho tonic the family physician told me It
was as much as my life was worth to go
without. I fully Intended to take some
of It but didn t do It,
My every night was filled with the most
awful mental pictures, pictures which
we call dreams, that it Is possible to
conceive of, and It had become neces
sary to give me a sleeping potion in order
to put me to sleep because 1 dreaded
these so. When I went to bed that night
1 Intended to lane ny Sleeping potion,
but didn't, and then the (list thing 1
knew I was opening my eyes, and found
it was broad daylight! found that I had
slept the whole night through without
ono of those dreadful pictures, and had
awakened with a feeling or refreshment,
of strength, of hope and Joy that I had
never known before. The longest hours
I ever spent were between my awakening
and the time set for my going back to
I )mt little room. I continued to go there
for three months, ana then, upon nis re
quest to be permitted to do so, our fam
lly physician made an examination of
me, and said I was as perfect a physical
specimen as he hud ever examined. That
was lii 1SK5, and from that day to this.
Christian Science, as revealed to the
world through Mrs. ttudy, has met every
diseased condition that has presented It
self to me, has destroyed it and left me
free,
I was not born in Missouri, but I might
as well have been, from my nature, be
cause 1 have always been one of the
kind that would not believe anything
imill 1 had ahsolute proof that it was
true. The Truth has been very good
to me all these years, because, as a
Christian Science practitioner, I have
been brought face to face continually
with the wonderful healing work that
lias been brought out by the use of this
1 ruth as Mrs. Kddy lias given it to us.
1 have seen cancers, tumors, locomotor
ataxia, drunkenness and immorality de
stroyed, and men and women made
whole morally and physically Just by the
touch of lMvlne Love ns understood and
demonstrated In Christian Sieence. Kor
thls reason, and for the reason that I
am convinced, as the result of my study,
that Christian Science is transcendeiitally
and practically the highest apprehension
of Cood the human consciousness can
conceive of, I am a Christian Scientist to
day, and thank God Ills way has again
been revealed to human consciousness,
and that 1 have been hero to receive his
benefits.
1 have heard It said that Christian
Scientists do not use tho liihle; that all
we use is "Science of Health with Key
to the scriptures," written by Mrs.
Kildy. No statement could be more un
true, because the disclosure of the Spirit
of the Word which maketh alive, comes
only as the result of the continuous study
of the llible with the aid of the Christian
Science text-book. Almost every denom
ination has Its Hlble-helps. prepared for
the use of the lay members in the
church, by those presumed to have the
knowledge of what lesson tho Scriptures
have for mankind. In such a manner that
Hlhle study may be intelligently indulged
in.
Well, my friends, that is what Chris
tian Science text-book is it is our Itible-
h lp; it is the book that we study our
Hllile with; It is the book that has rent
the veil of mystery- from top to bottom,
revealing the spiritual Import of the
Scriptures, opening to us the Holy of
Holies, wherein It is revealed to us that
God is no longer an unknown God; no
longer a God to be lgnorantly worship
ped, but a God to be loved; a God who Is
a Father to his children; a God who
never turns from his children; a Father
more tender, more considerate, more com
passionate, more loving, than human
consciousness can ever begin to realize.
You have doubtless heard people say,
In speaking of "Science and eHalth with
Key to the Scriptures," the text-book of
Christian Science written by Mrs. Eddy:
"I have read that book from cover to
cover and nobody on earth cun make any
sense out of it." Hand a text-book of al
gebra to a child! Tell him to read It
through from cover to cover without any
previous instruction as to how to read it,
and then, when he has finished it ask
his opinion of it. What will he say?
Naturally enough he will say, "I have
read it from cover to cover and nobody'on
earth can make any sense out of it."
Then you say to him, "Take that text
book and go to someone who is a stu
dent of algebra and let him tell you what
It means." He follows your advice, and
the result is that what appeared like a
meaningless Jumble to him, becomes an
avenue through which he is enabled to
work out problems that he never could
work out before. Is that what people
do when they want to know about
Christian Science? No; generally speak
ing, It is not. They find somebody that
doesn't know anything about it, and ask
them what it means, and they only learn
what the other fellow doesn't know that
he doesn't know, and it becomes a self
evident case of the blind leading the
blind, with an inevitable result they
both fall Into the ditch. And t:.iis is the
kind of investigation that precedes air
leged criticism of Christian Science.
One allegation made is that Christian
Science denies uod and the Christ. In
refutation of this statement I desire to
say that God is referred to over 1,200
times and Jesuse the Christ over 800
times In the Christian Science text-book,
an average of over three times lo every
page thereof, and every reference to either
God or Christ brings uot a more exalted
thought about them than the world has
ever known. If you will get a copy of
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures," written by Mrs. Eddy, and
rend her definition of God on page 687,
and of Christ on pago 583 thereof, you
will never again question the exalted po
sition accorded them in the teachings of
Christian Science.
Chrlstlun Scientists continually repeat
the statement, Man Is One with God.
This statement has been used as a foun
dation for discourses, wherein It has been
said that Christian Science Is but a re
dressing of the Bramahnistic and Bud
dhistic philosophies, wherein it is taught
man reaches the most ecstatic state of
existence when he forgets that he has
ever lived, and is absorbed into Dlety.
The teachings of Christian Science ab
solutely overthrow any such idea, and in
telligently Instruct us to know that Man
is one with God, as the Idea Is one with
the mind that conceives It no part of
the mind whatever, but Inseparable from
it and so it Is with Man, God's idea
about himself: God's Image and likeness!
He is inseparable from God, the Mind,
the Creator which conceives him, but In
no sense is he any part of God, and In
no sense Is his Individuality ever lost, but
Is as eternal as the Creator who created
him.
Probably nothing has been more mis
understood by people than the statement
made by Christian Scientists tnat sin,
disease and death are not real in fact
are nothing but a false belief! When
out In bold relief as honoring God by rec-
out In bold relief ar honoring God by rec
ognizing In deed, as well as word, His
omnipotence, omniscience, and omni
presence; as Good; wherein there Is
neither elemental evil nor a consentive
passivity which seems to recognize evil
and permit Its existence. Christian Sci
ence gives us but one standard of meas
urement, and that Btandurd is God!
Whenever, therefore, anything presents
itself to a Christian Scientists, he Immed
iately measures It by the standard of
perfection which God Is, And if it falls
to measure up to that standard, It Is
known to be un-Gotlllke; and if un-God-ilke,
not eternal; and If not eternal, not
real.
How do we know that sin, disease and
death are not Godlike; how do we know
that sin, disease and death have nothing
to do with God; never did have, and never
will? Jesus told us so, and very plainly,
too. Ho said he came, doing the will of
the Father. He also said he came, not
to destroy, but to fulfil, and immediately
he went to work to heal the sick, cleanse
the leper, cast out evil and raise the dead
with the Word of God. Do you think
Jesus knew what he was doing? Do you
think he told the truth when he said
that he came not to destroy but to ful
fil? If you do believe he told the truth,
then you are forced to admit that It was
nothing that ho destroyed when he cast
those things out, for not otherwise can
the truth of his statement that he came
not to destroy but to fulfil, be upheld.
More than that, do you remember the
man who was 111 that he spoke to, ond
snld, "Satan hath bound thee?" Do you
suppose he meant that In Just that one
instance Satan hnd bound the man Just
beconse he was bad. and that In another
Instance Gold would do the binding be
;auso a mnn wns good? Do you think
the statement Jesus made Indicates an
agreement or partnership between God
and aStan. God making some ill, because
they are bad? Of course you don't be
lieve anything of the kind.
Then, remember, that other man who
laid sick of the palsy, to whom Jesus
said: "Thy sins be forgiven thee;" and
the mnn took up his bed and walked.
Again, he said: "If a man keep my say
ing, he shall never know death." Do you
believe It; do vou believe that statement?
Oh, what a call that Is to us to follow In
tho footsteps of our Master; how it says
