FRIDAY 2:30
BIBLE CONTRADICTS
. ITSELF, SAYS ELDER
"The Bible contradicts itself." said
Elder St. Johns, of Portland in the Ad
ventist church here Sunday afternoon.
"For in Isa. 2:24, it says, 'And it shall
come to pass in the last days. that. .
many people shall go and say
they shall beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into prun
ning hooks.' And in Joel 3:8-13, it
says, 'The mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it Beat your plowshares
into swords and your prunning hooks
into spears. Let the weak say, I am
strong. Assemble yourselves
For there will sit to judge all nations
round about.' These are contradict
ory statements. Both apply to the
last days. The first says so, and the
second says the day of judgment. But
notice the one the people shall sav,
and the other, the Lord has spoken."
Then in a burst of oratory the
evangelist said, "Never was prohpecy
more strikingly fulfilled than this is
today. Peace conferences assemble.
The Temple of Peace has been dedi
cated. And optimism charming pul
pit, press and people, would draw
them with its siren song into the
bosom of destruction. Yea, while they
dream of peace, rumors of war alarm
the earth.
"For every $1,000 000 expended for
peace, our government appropriates a
$100,000,000 for war materials. Today
we mold the most perfect instruments
of destruction that man can devise.
And tomorrow they are antedated and
must give place for more improved
war engines. War clouds darken the
sky; the dove of peace finds no place
of refuge.
"While I admire the motive of the
peace advocate, I can not join in his
hope. But to me these contradistinc
tive features of the day are a porten
tious sign a certain omen of that
time not far in the future when the
Lord Jesus will usher In the reign of
peace, not for the warring factions of
earth; but for the redeemed, whom
he will take with Him to the Land of
Peace to live throughout the unending
cycles of eternity.
Recorder Forgets
To Register For
City Election
Though he had registered hundreds
of voters in Gladstone for the coming
city election, John N. Seivers, justice
of the peace, attorney at law and city
recorder for the city of Gladstone,
forgot to register himself.
For the past few weeks, Justice
Seivers has done little but impress
upon the voters of Gladstone the nec
essity of registering for the election
and point out to them the awful
calamity that would happen to the city
if the voters did not register heavily.
As a result, he has secured the
names of nearly aH of the persons in
the city who are entitled to a vote at
the forthcoming election. "But the
city recorder himself will have to
garner in a few accommodating free
holders to swear in bis vote when he
wants to cast a ballot for the new city
officers

ebration Held
Willamette adopted its charter Mon
day at a special election by the close
margin of 17 votes. One hundred
fifty-seven votes were cast, which is
one of the largest number polled
since the town was first organized.
The vote stood 87 for and 70 against
the charter.
At first it was thought that the new
charter was defeated. The votes case
in the morning gave those against the
new set of laws a large majority but
the afternoon voters changed the day.
The election not only decided the
question of the charter but also deter
mined the erection of the new fire
house and city hall, although this lat
ter issue was indirect. Several of
the citizens pledged enough money
to make the erection of the building
a certainty, provided the charter car
ried. Construction will probably be
started in a short time.
A large crowd watched outside of
, the voting place where the ballots
jWere being counted and waited for
I the returns despite the fact that dark
; clouds threatened rain. When the
work was finished and there was no
doubt but that the charter carried, au
impromptu committee round some
fireworks and a general celebration
was held in front of Lelshman's
store on Main street.

Word has been recived in this city

from a fractured skull as a result. At

He has traveled through this terri

The late John W. Gates was always
ready and willing to make a wager
on every question that came up at any
time or place. He was familiarly
known to his intimate acquaintances
as "Bet-a-Million" Gates. A friend
once referred to him as a born gamb
ler. "Yes, I am," said Mr. Gates, "and
so long as I. win at least fifty-one
percent of the time I'm going to con
tinue to gamble." He made many
millions of dollars in his various busi
ness enterprises and it is said that he
always referred to them as games of
chance. ,
Since the days of old, life has ever
been called a gamble. Small enter
prises succeed and large ones fail;
first we are up and then we go down.
It is estimated that the great Panama
Canal cost the enormous sum of $400,
000,000. As a result of this mighty
undertaking a book has been publish
ed, which under usual trade condi
tions would retail for $4. But a bus
iness chance caused the publishers
to distribute this book through daily
newspapers, and thus readers get it
for the mere cost of distribution.
Clip the Panama certificate from
another column of The Enterprise to
day and you will learn that there is no
element of gambling entering into the
distribution price' asked for this $4
volume. The only chance for you to
lose is in not taking advantage of the
offer. If the last chance tc get one
finds you without a copy you have
lost. Look into it today.

ASK CANDIDATES HANK QUESTIONS
Want to Know Position of All New
Men on Possible Issues that
May be Submitted to
Their Vote Later
Regardless of supreme court deci-
sions, Oregon City may be a center of
prohibition.
Monday the drys hatched a plot to
present to all of the candidates for
city councilman at the forthcoming '
election a statement similar to the ,.
legislature. The statement will con
tain a declaration that the candidate,
if elected, will vote to prohibit sa
loons in Oregon City whether the su
preme court upholds the last election -'
or not. "
Can Use Discretion.
.me ury lurces conienu tnat tne
city council is not forced to grant :
saloon licenses under the law unless
it chooses to do so. The proposition
that now confronts the prohibition
element is to get an expression of
opinion from all of the candidates at
the election as to how they would
vote on a matter of this kind were it
presented to them.
Though the supreme court were to
throw out the last election . in ac
cordance with the contention of the
wets that it was not held at-a legal
time, the city could yet get the bene
fit of its decision against saloons by,"
a refusal on the part of the city coun
cil to issue licenses after the present
ones had expired, it is said.
TvctriL rvnuw.
In order to determine how the
newly elected city council would r
stand upon such a proposition, the
drys have determined to submit a
statement to the candidates asking .
thpm fnr thpir viws unri 1 r rl i-1 rr .
that, if they are elected, they will
vote against the renewal of all Hquor--licenses
in the r.itv whpthAr th hii-
preme court decision is in the favor
of the saloons or not.
The reason for this action is, the
drys claim, to give the city the full
benefit of its last election. They hold
that the people of the city have once
declared themselves against the sa
loon and that they shouW not have to
put up with them just because of some
legal flaw in the time that the elec
tion was held. They believe that the
main issue is that the people do not
want the saloons, whether the elec
tion itself was or was not legal.
Double Protection.
In order to carry out that declara
tion on the part of the people and to
protect them against the efforts of a
possible adverse decision, the plan is .
now to ask the various candidates to
sign such a statement and show to the
people of the city the position that
they would take in such an emer,
gency.
It is contended that the expression
of the people at the polls is in the
form of instructions to the members
of the city council and that the coun
cilmen, as representatives of the
people of the city, should vote as
those citizens have directed In the
last election.
In Their Own Hands.
The drys also claim that the city
council is not under any obligation to
grant the saloons licenses if it
chooses not to do so and that the mat-,
ter is in the hands of the city fathers
entirely. When the licenses of the
city expire on January 1 in the due
course of events, the council can, at
that time, refuse to further extend
