Billy Sunday, formerly famous bs a
baseball nlayer, is now doing service
as an evangoliBt. Considerable fault
has beon found with Mr. Sunday be
cause of his alleged "indoeeiioies" of
expression. The. Des Moiuea (Iowa)
Tribute, however, says that ouo -can
not do jnstice to Sunday without
hearing him. And it adds: "Wo de
sire to li re quoto an extract from one
ot his sermons, and we defy his ene
mies to find anything to equal it in
all tho literature of Bormonizing,
either for the oeanty of expression,
tlie fitness of the occasion or the,
effectiveness of this burwt of elo
qtumoe on an audience. Hero is the
masterpiuco of pulpit eloquence:
"Twenty-two years ago, with the
Holy Spirit as my guide, I ontorod
this wonderful romplo of Christianity.
I entered at the portico cf Genesis,
walked down through the old testa
ment art gallery where the pictures
oi' Noah, Abraham, Mohcs, Josoph,
Inane, Jacob, Daniel hung on the
wall. I passed into the music room
ot Psalms, whore tho spirit Bwept the
keyboard of nature and brought forth
the dirge-lino wail of tho weeping
prophet Jeremiah to the grand im
passioned strain of Isaiah, until it
seemd that every reed and pipe in
God's great organ of nature respond
ed to the tuneful harp of David, tho
sweet singer of Israel. I entered tlia
chapel of Eeclesiastes where the voice
of the preacher was hoard and into
the conservatory of Sharon and th t
lilly of the valley's sweet scented
spices filled and perfumed my lite.
I entered the business otlice of Pro
verbs, thou into the observatory room
of tho prophets where I saw telescopes
of various sizes, some pointing to
far-olf events ; but all concentrated
upon the bright and morning star,
which was to rise ahove the moonlit
hills of Judea for our salvation. I
entered the audience room of the
Kiug of Kiugs, and caught a vision of
His glory from the standpoint of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John;
passod into the Aots of tint Apostles,
where the Holy Spirit was doing his
office work in the foundation of tho
infant clmrcli. Then into the corres
pondence room wlinro sat. Matthew,
Mark, Luke, Jehu, Paul, Peter,
James and Judo, penning their
epistles, 1 stepped into the throne
room ot Revelations, whoro all
towered into glittering peaks, and I
got a vision of tho King of Kings sit
ting upon His throne iu all His glory,
and I cried :
"All hail the power of Jesus's name,
Let angels prostrate fall ;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown linn Lord of all 1'.' ...
Mr. Donley, writing in the Ameri
can Magazine, described John 1).
Rockefeller as a "now literary light"
in these words : "Well, Hiuninsy, th'
iinptisKiou I got fr'm the little heart-to-heart

A remarkable tribute to a devoted
Oatholic priest was paid recently at
Shenandoah, Pa., at tho funeral of
Rev. 11. P. O'Reilly, rector ot the
Roman Catholic church of the Annuii
oiat ion. For forty years Pat her
O'Reilly had served in this position.
.An Associated Press dipatoh says:
"Twinty-Iivo celleries employing
more than Ki.OOO men and boys iu the
Shenandoah and Mahonoy valley were
shut down to enable tho womors to
pay their respects to tho dead priest.
The public schools here lit Muhouey
Oity and othei surrounding commun
ities were closed mid all business in
Sheiiunodah was suspei.ded. Fully
thirty tlioiihimd persons paid tribute
to his memory. So immense was the
crowd iu town that a detail of state
police was called upon to assist the
local authorities to hanule the people.
Father O'Reilly wns one of the lu st
known mid most popular priests in
the diocese. During the Molly Ma
gniro crusade and in Humorous coal
strikes he wielded a great influence in
ne'ialf of peaco and In w and order."
It is a matter of iiMtior.nl impor
tance, or ouo might bo justified in
saying of international importance,
that Klihu Root, secretary of Mi to,
will bo elected as so ntor from New
York to succeed Thomas Flutt, w hose
term expires March fourth next.
Judge Tuft urged Mr. Root to remain
at tho head of 1 1 is cabinet daring his
term of ollice, but the secretary de
sired to ret iru from the premiership
ami it is said that .Mr. You L. Meyer,
the present posluinMor general, or
Mr. Burton of Ohio, will probably be
come secretary afler Mr. Tuft's in
auguration. Lust week Mr. Taft sent
for Mr. Woodruff of New York who
appeared to be the most active aspir
ant to succeed Senator Plait anil so
iuipresid him with tho importance ot
having Mr. Root in tho senate I lint he
ubadoiuul his own candidacy and iu a
published let ter announced his acqui
escence in tho program to eleet Mr.
Root iu order to help carry out those
measures of the administration ii
which the country had so deep an interest.
The royal Chinese envoy, Hang
Shao Yl, sent to thank the govern
ment of the United States for its re
missiou of the eleven million indem
nity, is now established iu Washing
ton in a residence separate and oven
remote from that of tho Chinese em
bassy and it is iisid he will remain
until late in March. The ways of
the Oriental are peculiar. It is an
ticipated that thero will be much hos
Tiitality and elaborate exchange of
courtesy. The Chinese government
may well be grateful and rogeoguizaiit
of the disinterestedness and generos
ity of this country. Uu the day of
the arrival ot tho special envoy there
was signed a convention between the
United States and Japan guaranteeing
tho integrity of tho Chinese Empire
with equal trade rights to all nations.
The maintaiuanco ot this convention
will mean more to China than ninny
indemnities of eleven millions of dol
The national capital will vibrato
and hum not only with congress next
week, but with a variety of conven
tions of national soopo and impor
tance. Half a dozen organizations
will ba in session iu Washington with
several hundred of tho country's most
prominent citizens considering and
debating questions looking to ' pubiio
betterment. Tin National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, and the Southern
Commercial Congress, and National
Council or Commerce, ami the Na
tional Conservation Commission Con
ference, with the governors of the
states are tho events around which
most interest centers. Besides these
gatherings will be the convention of
the National Liquot League and the
National League ot Democratic
Clubs. The National Conservation
Commission will meet in conference
with the governors of states mid both
the president and the president, elect
and a notable array . of prominent
men will discuss the cnnsrirvation of
the natural resources of tho country.
The reorganization of tho United
States navy on lines similar to the re
cent reorganization of the army is
looked for at uu early day. It is said
that the president desires to start, if
not to completely carry out, tho organ
ization during the remaining months
of his administration. Whether he can
do so or not will of course dopend
very much on the disposition of con
gress. Mr. Root, when secretary of
war, did not succeed with his army
reorganization program, which was
bitterly fought by General Miles and
some bureaucrats of the war depart
ment, until he had urged its adoption
before 'two sessions of congress. It is
possible, however, that tho success of
the new army bill and its vindication
in tho great ly improved efficiency of
the army Will have paved tho way for
a more hospitable consideration hy
congress of an analogous improvement
in the naval estal'lishniont.
The demand that skins of animals,
or hides as tlioy are called, shall bo
placed upon tho froo list has been so
urgently pushed at recent tariff hear
ings that there is hope that tho tariff
on them may at least be reduced.
With free hides, shoe and leather
manufacturers it is thought will con
code the abolition of duties on all
leather products. It is not the farmer
or the cattle king who benefits by
high tariff on hides. The beef trust
alone is the boneiioiary.
It appears that uono of the justioes
of the supremo court who have at
tained the superannuation that allows
them to retire are much disposed to
accommodate President Roosevelt by
resigning. Why does not the presi
dent apply tho walking test that he
has found so efficient iu the army to
the supremo court?
Now that the football games are
over for tho season iu tho oolleges of
the country, the over-worked student
will have some .relaxation from tho
serious study of aerobatics until the
baseball and track season opens.
With Mr. Hitchcock at the head of
the postolUco department Mr. Taft
will have tho inside track for renomi
nation and re-election four years
hence.
President h. J. Ross of tho Wash
ington Slate Dairymen's Association,
and numerous other members of that
organization will participate iu the
convention of the Oregon State Dairy
Association iu Salem Thursday and
Friday of this week. Elcciric "power
has been installed in tho exhibit hall
for working exhibits, and handsome
cups nro to he given as prizes, ap
propriately engraved, and assurance
ot dairy mid creamery exhibits are
coming in to tho secretary daily. Sa
lem p ople have arranged a splendid
reception for their guests. Oregon
dairymen will be well represented at
the Washington meeting in Chehalis
next week.
Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at band and too much care cim
uot be used to protect tho children.
A child is much more likely to con
tract diphtheria or scarlet lever when
he lias a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less tho risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the solo reli
ance of many mothers, hihI few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. St archer,
of Ripley, W. Ya.,'sa.vs, "1 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy for my chil
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction." This rem, ay contains
no O'lium or other narcotic and may
he given as conlidently ;o a child as
to an adult. For sale by Huntley

Oregon and Washington were each
given a hearing before President
Kooscvelt's Commission on Country
Life, and expressed themselves as
more than pleased with I he co-operation
they received iu these two states.
1'hey were particularly fortunate in
being enabled to meet tho lending
horticulturists on account ot numer
ous fruit meetings at lliis season.
The whole country is awaiting the
commission's report with genuine interest.

REFLECTIONS ON
"THE ONE-TALENT-MAN"
Wanted:--The Man Who Knows!'
Unto one he gave five talents, to another two
' and to another one; to every man according to
his several ability."
IN EVERY Great -City,
in every
busy mart, there's a
sign out, "Wanted:
The Man Who
Knows!" Above the
cinder-laden smoke
clouds it is written;
at the top of a thous
and magnificent
structures it appears,
signaling to compet
ence ability and fit
ness. The message
instills new hope in
lagging ambition
rallies to renewed ef
fort those who falter
in the strife. Know
this! There's a place
waiting, position and
honor, success, vic
tory for "The Man
Who Knows."
There's no call for
the ill equipped man.
There's no place for
the h a 1 f-finished
man. For the man
who has increased
and multiplied the
talents given into hia
keeping, every
where, there is a
tempting offer. But
there is no demand
for the "One Talent
Man."

There's a terrible battle waged for commercial suprem
acy. Within the ranks of' the contending armies are
legions of privates; the captains of industry are few.
There's a demand for men fitted to direct the movement of
the World's energy. Wherever human effort is center
ed there's' a sign out," Wanted: The Man Who Knows!"
Our country calls to its young manhood put on
your armor for the fray! None can stand, at the be
beginning of life's battle, in the front rank. Let such
place be ambition's goal. There's no glory, no tri
umph in the rear. Have you courage and determina
tion? Have you the noble ambition that campells in
tegrity? Knowledge you may acquire. Experience
and training are within your reach. It is for you,
young man, if you wish, to become "The Man Who
Knows."
Every great manufacturing enterprise, every great
tranportation system, every great commercial industry
moves from a vital spot the office. The office is the
heart that infuses life blood into organizations of men
and money. Within the little compartment whose
door bears the word "President" or "Manager", or
"Superintendent" is centered a power that is reflected
in every civilized portion of the world. These doors
are closed to the thousand men who superintend the
details of the immense enterpriseThey all open to
"The Man Who Knows."The President sends for him
at a time of uncertainty. The manager calls him in a
time of perplexity, the Superintendent consults him,
heads of departments seek him--one day, at the head of
this great organization, you 1 find this "Man Who
Knows."
NOTE. The foregoing is intended to direct thethoughts
of young men to greater possibilities. Too many have
no motive iu life no objeciive point. - Youth requires
an awakening. Otherwise idle, thoughtless boyhood
grows into useless, improvident manhood. . It falls up
on older heads to keep befoje the young people the re
wards of industry, frugality, enterprise and integrity.
We have this to say to you who believe that, the field
of endeavor should be made large as possible: who be
lieve that the user of manufscLured goods be brought,
as close as possible to the manufacturer; who are willing
to look into other avenues of profit besides 6 per cent,
mortgage loans; who are broad minded enough to be
lieve you can usually learn something from the "other
fellow," even if you are a little more capable than he.
We are selling agents for the unsold portion of the
stock of the corporation known as . W. MELLIEN (Sit
CO., a retail house-furnishing enterprise. This stock
provides an investment for any amount from $10 to
$500. Par value of stock is $ 1 0 per share. It will pay
10 per cent, on the investment to start with and we
believe it will pay 20 per cent, within the year.
If you will just go to the trouble of having a personal
talk with us or of writing for particulars you will un
doubtedly feel that you were repaid for your trouble.
Investigate the proposition whether you do any
thing more or not.
