ONE FACTOR OVERLOOKED.
Another Correspondent Deals "With
Evolution.
ROSEBURG, Dec 25. (To the Editor.)
Of late I have been much Interested in
the discussion of the theory of evolution
in your columns by able advocates, pro
and con. The disputants on either side
have given, doubtless, their honest opin
ions on the subject, but it occurs to me
that each one overlooks or ignores one
very Important factor In the case. It 1
this: The special creation advocates must
admit that the Creator designed the char
acter and disposition, as well as the forma
of animal life, upon the earth, In the
waters and In the air. Just as we behold
them. He designed the carnlvora to seize,

mala. He, the great, good and merciful
God, designed that the Hon, tiger, wolr
and cat should live upon the Innocent and
helpless deer, sheep, goat and antelope;
that the condor, eagle, hawk and owi
should prey upon the birds; that the
shark and other sea monsters should llvo
upon the little fishes. Not only that, but
he, the beneficent God, sends the cyclone,
flood, famine and pestilences to destroy
human life. Including the Innocent babes,
by the slow, torturing process, often by
starvation. All this, according to the spe
cial creation theory, for It Is only a the
ory, God sends to man, as well as the
gentle, life-giving and life-sustaining
zephyrs, rains and dews of heaven.
Then, again, God has created man with
inherent base passions which lead him to
oppress, defraud, defame and murder his
brother man. All the foregoing calami
tous doings can be accounted for accora
lng to thp evolution theory without vio
lating common sense and reason; but, ac
cording to the special creation theory, the
above catalogue of evils violates every
sentiment and feeling of humanity. It
mocks at mercy, crucifies sympathy, ns
nores justice, derides innocence, ridicules
philosophy as atheism, denounces liberty
of thought In its search for knowledge
as a monstrous evil, and calls down upon
the head of the scientist -the anathemas
of high heaven as Is amply shown In his
tory. The scientist contents himself with
an inquiry Into and an Investigation ot
the facts, laws, elements and phenomena
of nature and her works the proper thing
to do; it Is his legitimate mission leav.
lng "jarring sectaries" to wrangle over
dogmas, faiths and creeds and torture
each other as occasion favors the one or
the other. W. P. BENJAMIN.
COMFORT IN TRAVELING.
Comfort is the most necessary requisite
in a trip across the continent. Persons
contemplating a trip to Chicago, St. Paul,

bed and fastest time. The O. R. & N.
Co.'s double dally train service fills all
the requirements, being equipped with the
latest types of Pullman Palace and ordi
nary sleepers, electrically lighted engines,
and makes hours better time to Chicago
or Omaha than any other line.
