Uepn hi Iran ea nil Mates who have
taken no sueh pledge and who refuse
to aeeept t he prtnelph of the State-
inont as a guide or rule of aetion for
themselves In the Legislature. In
the state at large the issue over State
ment No. I has. Indeed, been In
a great measure Ineonrlnsivo. In
Multnomah I'ounty, however. the
Statement candidates have been al
most uniformly successful. The Ore
goniun Is not disposed to deny to tho
winning candidates and their sup
P rters any of the fruits of their vic
tory; yet It is fair and proper to re- i
mark that they have not won wholly, 1
prrha ps not even largely, through the
merits of any Statement. Some of tho
No. 1 candidates would doubtless have
been nominated on any kind of plat
form; others needed for their triumph
the aid of just such adventitious cir
cumstances as existed here last Fri
day and for days prior thereto. Gen
eral puollc belief existed that there
was an effort by W. Hodson and
has confreres to rehabilitate the old
Matthews machine, or to create pnd
maintain another Just as odious, and
that It should be and must be
smashed. It was smashed by smash
ing the Hodson slate. I" was and is
a matter of no moment that the State
ment No. 1 candidates, too, arranged
a shite. The best way to win. and
a justifiable way. no doubt, is to fight
one machine with another. The Anti
Statement or Republican Voters'
' 'hoieo candidates also were more
numerous than the Statement men
and : hey suffered through their di-
isions and through consequent public
uncertainty and doubt. The Demo
crats helped out by voting generally
a the Republican primary, always for
the Statement No. 1 ticket. Why not?
This is a time when, in the opinion of
many, there is no difference between
a Republican and a "Democrat, and
there can be no reasonable objection
in letting the Democrats decide who
the Republican candidates shnll be.
It is clear, moreover, that there was
great confusion about and misunder
standing of the ultimate meaning and
requirements of Statement No. 1. It
was believed that defeat of the State
ment through defeat of it.s candidates
meant entire breakdown of that pro
vision of the Oregon Primary Law
which provides for the nomination and
sl.-called popular election of. Vnited
States Senators. It was argued with
etiect, although without substantial

the weight of an enormous war debt
and the prodigal expenditure?) which
followed the signing of tho peaco
treaty, and with her progress In ex
panding her trade limits in Man
churia checked, the Nippon empire
sems to have sought for an opening
fart her south, and to facilitate mat
ters, engaged in the smuggling of
nrnis ln;o t'hlnesc territory.
This contraband traffic Is reported
to have been carried on quite ex ten
sively prior to the famous Talsu Maru
Incident. That seems to have been
the last straw. In seizing the steamer,
China seems to have been strictly
within her rights: but. rather than
precipitate war at this time, she
waived those rights and released the
steamer. This action ha been fol
lowed by a boycott on Japanese
goods, which. If it Is not broken, will
be almost as disastrous to the Nippon
empire as a moderate-sized war. It
Is announced that the various guilds
throughout China have made such
elaborate preparations for enforce
ment of the boycott that it will not
be lifted until the Japanese merchant
and manufacturers have lost trade to
the amount of J 300.000,000. or 10.
000 times the amount of the indem
nity recently paid to Japan for the
seizure of the Tatsu Maru.
Such an enormous loss of trade even
af a time when the country was in a
prosperous condition, would have had
a serious effect on the people on
whom the penalty was levied, but
coming at this time, when Japan can
hardly hoar up under the load of
financial trouble that she is carrying,
it is a much more serious affair than
Japan ever thought possible. With
the Chinese star in the ascendancy,
and poverty-stricken Japan strug
gling hard to keep the place she has
reached with such remarkable rapid
ity, decrepit old China may yet be in
a position to feed fat the ancient
grudge which she owes the Nippon
empire for the drubbing administered
about a dozen years ago.
A NARROW VIKW.
Mr. C. H. Walker may be a compe
tent adviser on some matters not yet.
exploited, but when, being appealed to
by a friend as to the best college to
which to send his son, Mr. Walker
mentioned as his first choice one for
which he has a warm feeling, because
of his own youthful associations, his
second one that awakened missionary
associations in his mind, and his third
one for which he has a feeling of local
pride as being near his present home,
it must bo svibmttred that his advice
lacks the information which anxious
parents seek when their' sons are about
to enter upon a course of college train
ing and study.
The attitude of this correspondent
upon the appropriation for the State
I niversity is explained by the narrow
ness of view that is shown in the ad
vice given, as above noted, and the
reasons upon which it was based. The,
location of a college is important, nor.
because of the associations of child
hood, though other things being equal,
these may properly have some weight,
or because of local or personal
pride, but on the basis of its com
munity life and the opportunities that
it furnishes for self-improvement. Be-

tomary fraud.
All thl I commonplace enough
Kx posu res of medium and ea m p
meeting tnlrarte have been mado so
often that, nobody pays particular al
ien tlon to them any longer, and we,
should not think It worth whllp to
comment upon this one. though It i
very satisfactorily corn pie to, were It
not that the devotee of the fraud
continue, to bestow upon them the,
sHine fervept faith as If they had
never been exposed at all. Kor ex
ample, one disciple had been convinced
by a medium that he was "called" to
dedicate large sum of money for tho
con version of the Inhabitant of the
planet Jupiter. The money was, of j
course, to go to Jupiter by way of the
medium. She was among the fraud j
unveiled by Professor Hyslop' detec- ;
tlve, but. her poor old victim continue
to contribute without the slightest rts- ;
gard to her dishonesty and hi own
folly. How are we to explain a faith
which thus persist contrary to evi
dence the most patent and convincing?
Do the people like to be deceived? Not
exactly, but their belief In the reality
of the spirit world is to them a treas
ure so precious that they cling to It in
the face of fact and reason. The truth
of the matter becomes an enemy to be
fought against, to be thrust out of the
mind and beaten off at all costs, be
cause It would destroy the possession
which they value above everything
else. We must not forget that the
faith of a spiritualist Is Just as rich
and beautiful In his own estimation
as the faith of a Presbyterian, that he
clings to it no more tenaciously than
do all other devotees to their rosDoc
tlve cults, and that he defies evidence
and fends off the truth no more per
sistently than they.
Faiths differ from one another in
reasonableness; perhaps some are more
probable than others, but in one re
spect they "are all alike. Every one of
them bitterly opposes any truth which
tends to shake Its foundations. Shall
we say. then, that faith is more val
uable than truth? Or, since truth la
the product of the intellect and faith
of the heart, shall we say that the
emotions are more precious to the hu
man race than the reason? If a ref
erendum could be taken upon this
question and everybody could vote,
there is no doubt how the' result would
stand. It would be overwhelmingly in
favor of emotions. Do they not com
fort us in sorrow and intensify our
joys? Do they not unite mankind in
the sweet relations of family life, give
one courage to fight his battles and
point him to the rewards of a better
world, when this imperfect one is fin
ished ? What should we be without
our emotions? Nothing but a cold,
impassible race 'of automatons act
uated by pure reason.
Still, there, is this to be said on the
other side of the question: A reason
able automaton is preferable in many
respects to a furious fanatic. Such an
automaton would respect the rights of
his neighbors. His joys might be rath
er frigid, but he would cause nobody
to mourn. Faith degenerates into su
perstition; it lights the fires of perse
cution sometimes; but we have never
heard of a man bein5 too reasonable.
Faith never invented a machine, neu
tralized a poison, cleaned a street, or
prevented an epidemic. "Whatever has
been gained along these lines is the
fruit of the intellect. Reason has giv
en us electricity, steam, serum the
rapy and flying machines. To the in
tellect we owe Shakespeare's plas and
Plato's dialogues. While the reason
of Copernicus was producing the Sys-

An Interesting point of lw hm Jut
been derided by thp I'nited State
Court of 'Appeal l St. trnlK. An In
junction w Mought by the Burling
ton road In Nebraska to retrain tho.
Hfate JlHllroad CnmmMln from alter
ing the rateM on grain. Thp court bold
t hat the com mission cannot be r
t rained from altering rate, t hough,
of eoursp. the enforeement of the pew
rat- ran b enjoined after it Is made.
It Is not itnp1flMHnt to learn that there
are limit to the authority of courts
tf pqulty in the mailer of Injunction.
It ha Hornet Imp aeemerf In recent
yefTM If thi proce were about, to
-Miperef. the ordinary statute and
make Congress and the: State J girtla-
fijre UperfluoiH.
In theory the court will only Is no
an Injunction to prevent an injury for
which there I no adequate legal rem
edy. It principal purpose wa orlg
ln11y to hold affair In tlu quo until
the legal right of Iftlgstnl could b
d termtned, but of In it It ha been
used to forbid ael, uppoed to b:
criminal, for which the law hn al
ready provided wu fftden t ppfta Itlp.
Formerly wh-n n man wa about to
commit n assault or violence of any
kind the procedure wa to put him un
der bond to keep the pence, NoW th;
first resort I an Injunction. When a
man bad been put under bond to
keep the pence, f he committed VM-
I'-nee, bis bond wa forfeited and he.
could tie criminally proe uted, but he.
waa not deprived of a jury trial. By
recent custom If he violate a restrain
ing order be can be Imprisoned by or
der of th court without a Jury.
The main significance of the modern
use of the Injunction 1 to deprive f-
eused workltiRmen of Jury trial and
imprison them by arbitrary procedure.
It is thi feature of (he matter which
excites the wrath of the union. They
do not cure hnlf mo moh for Police
and a hearing before the Injunction is
Miies n they do for a Jury trial when
they r nci used of violating It. al
though both Hre of vft-d Importance,
The former I a matter of legal form,
the hitter goes ( the bnrtl of human
right. Kven If the law should bo al
tered In Hindi a way n to throw many
restriction around the Issuance of in
junction, the laboring men will never
he ni isfled until the right to n. jury
trial ha been substantially assured.
In comparison with thin right thv re
gard the dignity of t be court a of
sma II moment, and In thl opinion
they agree, with the ancient spirit of
the Anglo-Saxon race, which has "vr
regarded liberty a of the nrt Impor

belauded of Colonel Harvey, may be

by the long exposure of a photo
graphic plate to their Invisible beams.
Granting that Mr. Bryan will be
nominated., it then becomes of thrilling
Interest to speculate a little whether
he can be elected or not. We are not
of those who pooh-pooh his prospects,
brushing him aside as if his defeat
were a foregone conclusion. Mr.
Bryan has been an exceedingly popu
lar candidate In two sternly contested
elections. It is widely conceded that
in one of them he would have been
victorious but for the use of an enor
mous campaign fund against him.
Crippled as he was by his unsound
financial doctrines, lie captivated the
imagination of the electorate and car
ried alj the states which cast their
electoral votes for Judge Parker In
1904. together with Ave others. Since
that time Mr. Bryan has lost none of
his popularity. - The truth Is that he
has gained. He is better known than
he was eight years ago, and better es
teemed. The odor of' his financial
heresy has somewhat evaporated.
Some of his doctrine, which then
seemed to the public to be dangerous
ly radical, have since been accepted by
both parties and now dwell among the
commonplaces of orthodox platforms.
He has been received with distinction
by great monarchs in foreign courts.
He has journeyed up and down in his
native land meeting people by the
thousand in hundreds of towns and
pleasing everybody whom he met. The
man who dowries Mr. Bryan as a can
didate of small prestige proclaims the
inadequacy of his own judgment.
The reasoning of professional poli-
ticians upon the electoral problem is
vitiated by their mental habits. They
are prone to divide the people sharply
into Republicans and Democrats and
ignore in their calculations those mi
grations from one party to the other
and those secessions from both parties
which are taking place upon an unpre
cedented scale. Moral issues are ex
ceedingly lively in the minds of voters
today. They will play a much more
significant part in the Fall election
than the politicians realize. The per
sonalities of the candidates will be
matters of great importance. Just
now the people are in no mood to be
"delivered" in a mass to anybody.
They are busy thinking and multitudes
will be likely to vote for the Presiden
tial candidate whom their thoughts
approve, with little reference to his
party name. It follows that those
election prophets who reach their con
clusions by adding up voters as if they
were unintelligent counters are in
danger of missing the mark.
Still, it is difficult to see any new

The, Templar almost from their founda
tion at Jerusalem had their quarter In
tho palace of the latin Kings, which had
been the Mohammedan mosqu of Mount
Morlab. It was also th) legendary site
of Solomon's Temple, and It wa from
thin circumstance that the Templars took
their name.

order over Kurope. Within the lth cen
tury it was est'ihllshed In almost every
Kingdom of fatin Christendom. Under
thj Angevin KlngJi it wa introduced Into
England, the. Knight of St. John about
the same time, or a little later. The chief
houH'! of the Templars In England was

has been known a the house of the law
fOudent In Unrlon under this name.

contended with political, in the battle
that raged, round their name. During th
period of their power they greatly in-
! fluenced the customs and laws of rt,
an v
kingdoms. In trie conflict of authority i
the order gradually disappeared. Instru
ment for Its suppression were no less
than those of torture and confiscation.
By the. persecution the ord' r of the
Templars was broken up and neat te red in
ail directions. It is impressive fo read
that the chief cause of their ruin was
their great wealth. An old writer quaint
ly says: "A Naboth s vim yard was the
chiefest ground of his blasphemy, and as
in England Ixrd Fan hope said merrily
that not lie but his stately house in Bed
fordshire was guilty of high treason, so
certainly the wealth of the Templars was
the principal cause of their overthrow.'

The Templars." says De 'Q linocy. j
"were one of the most celebrated "and at- !
tractive of the Knightly order during the :
Crusades; the whole institution, acts ard 1
tragical fate, are attractive to the f- el- j
ings and to the fancy." "With the Tem
plars.' says Hecke thorn, "perished a j
world; chivalry ended with them. Kven j
the Papacy received a tremendous shock, i
Symbolism wa deeply affected by it. A j
greedy and arid tradin? spirit rose up. j
Mysticism, that had sent su--h a glow j
through past generations, found the souls
of men cold, incredulous. The reaction j
was violent, and the Templars were the
first to fall under the rtJde Wows of the
West, that longed to rebel again t the
Kast, by which ft had hitherto been in so
many ways permeated, ruled and op
pressed." The name of the order is continued
t through Free Masonry, whose work is in
fraternal, social and moral effort: and In

as far back as the 3:1th century the lodges
