The City Election Ine city election, winch oc curs next Tuesday, will see seven candidates in the field for coucilmen. l?ut one of these is a memler of the present council. although several of them have served previously. It is pre sumed that all of the candidates are imbued with the spirit of serving their fellow citizens hon estly and intelligently. While there are two tickets, so to speak, there is no real issue other than that the officers who are chosen shall be those who are best constituted to deal with concluding the negotiations of taking over the old water plant and providihg for a new one. On the matter of a more ade quate water supply the people have hecome a unit. There is. of course, some diversity of opin ion as to what methods shall be pursued in obtaining the desired result, and the radical and im patient have talked of the recall and other drastic action. We do not believe, however, that the best results could be ob tained by such a course, nor by the election of those whose ideas run to such radical methods. Thejreal issue in the city elec tion is in the selection of council men who will be best fitted to handle its water problem, who will be broad enough to lay aside prejudice, who will not be guided by self-interests or influenced by private considerations. Although every effort is being made to close the negotiations for the old water system, they may, as in the past, fail; it may be necessary to carry the matter through the supreme court, and it may be necessary to adopt a new policy. The projected permanent street improvements will come under the hand of the new council, as will also that of issuing bonds for the new water system. It will, therefore, require a broad minded business administration and a harmonious one. On another page we have named the candidates to be voted for. Select those who will best follow out the policy for a broad, harmonious and intelligent ad ministration of public affairs. A Correction In the editorial in last week's issue of the News discussing the water situation, the editor stated that the Oregon supreme court had the power to raise or lower the amount of the verdict given in the circuit court, lhis, we belive, is an error, although opinions on it are conflicting. Information led us to believe that this statement was correct, but a search in the statutes defining the powers of the Oregon su preme court fails to reveal any authority giving it this right. The powers of the supreme court are, therefore, confined to pass ing on the testimony as to judi cial error, with the right to re mand the case for a new trial or to deny such right, as it sees fit. Another inaccuracy is said to be the figures of $37,200 which we gave as the amount that has been expended already on the old water plant. It is stated that this amount should have been given as $30,000, the addi tional $1,250 being the amount estimated as the expense for carrying the case through the supreme court. The informa tion is given out, also, that if it is possible for the city to tender the amount of the verdict, $32. 411. to the water company in cash, that the jnding litigation j will be practically ended and that the revenue that has accumu-j luted from the plant will reduce the gross amount, including thet lcral exjonses, very materially. J Gipsy Smith From the Oreironmn The Oregonian has received and printed a number of letters commending Gipsy Smith and his effort to convert the people of Portland to Christianity. It has likewise received, and has not printed, other letters con demning the evangelist in more or less measured terms, ques tioning the integrity of his pre tensions and motives, denying his power to work miracles, and denouncing the Portland church es for supporting a sensational and emotional movement that can have no beneficial result. One writer begins his letter with the following: "Mv opinion of this hypnotist. Gipsy Smith, and his hypnotic efforts to convert the people of Portland to his way of thinking are the most deplorable that 1 hove ever seen anywhere. Intel ligent people are all up in arms against him." Not all the hostile letters are so incoherent and involved: but all. or nearly all. exhibit a ma lignant spirit toward Christi anity and a genuine animosity toward the churches. The Oro gonian declines to permit its col umns to be m:ule tire vehicle of a controversy that would merely excite more bitter and fruitless contention and angry recrimina tion. To what good? This is Gipsy Smith's day and hour. The Protestant churches of Portland and of Oregon are with him. The Oregonian is merely reporting the things that are being said ana aone on a scale commensurate with the great interest of a very large and respectable portion of the public in the enterprise. If the critics of the daily and nightly perform ances do not like them, let them go off and hold a show of their own. The Oregonian will re port that, too. But The Oregonian will not dis miss the subject without saying something more about Gipsy Smith and his ways of procuring conversions by theatrical appeals to the emotions and sentiments of his hearers. Emotion and sen timent are mighty factors in the development of civilization. Without them the world would be a sad place; without Christi anity and Christian influence and Christian character or a satis factory substtiute the world would be a still sadder place. None of us would want to re main here, least of all the critics of Christianitv and the churches. There are backsliders hundreds and thousands of them, no doubt from the myriad con vers of the Gipsy Smiths; but the record does not show that they commit ted very many crimes while at the mourners' bench or were still under the thrall of their stirring impuls toward a cleaner and better life. The world goes ahead slowly, and travels over many slippery places. The loss es from the hosts of Zion have been many, very many, yet the army is a vast one and a strong one, and it goes right on singing and striving and cheering and l-nHl.'i'nf V" - - 1 1 fin -- Hf fAf wJIllllK. ..u- win uic iiiulci i a force tO COme OUt in the Open , ..o anu oppose 1 1 ; FORMER LOCAL DENTIST SUSPECTED OF ROBBERY Ir.
