In telling of the obstacles beset ting the seeker after salvation he said: I ni u Ku tliiit u a mnai nurt tk-lth our money. It may be that we must part with out ease. It may be that we must part with our pleasures. It may be that we must part with our occu nations. Whatever It Is, It Is worth the price." Salvation Is an Insurance against SCXDAT OBSERVANCE.

It is a religion of acts, and these 1m with the teachings of the Divine Mas- press the most telling lessons. In this ter Sunday has been recognized by leg' islatlve bodies In every nation In the world and in every state in the Union. Laws have been enacted in every state forbidding the transaction of certain defined business on that day. -, It was the law and custom In the early days, it Is the supreme law of the land today. The prohibition ot certain employ ments and providing a punishment therefor, Is upon the statute books of Oregon. That they are not more strictly enforced is due to the fact that many people tolerate a nuisance rather than complain of it. All laws are sup posed to be enforced and officials are elected for that purpose. There la no reason why the Sunday observance laws should not be enforced in Astoria. Al the drygoods, clothing houses, gro ceries, and nearly every branch of business are closed oq that day. Sa loons and theaters are permitted to re main open In direct, violation of law. Why should not these trades be com pelled to observe the day, as 'well as all others. "Circumstances of neces sity and mercy, may be placed In de fense," Is a part of the Sunday laws of Oregon. It was not the Intention to prohibit the people from securing med ical assistance. Or -medicines on that day. The law " floes not enjoin upon the people a demand to attend church. Every man is allowed to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, but there is no excuse for the non-enforcement of the Sunday law. Every man belonging to a lodge gives one or more flights In a week to attendance upon hit lodge. This Is fra ternity. Why should he not be willing to give one day In the week with his family? This is a duty enjoined upon every Individual. Why should theaters be permitted to run on' Sunday? While they may not be demoralizing in their tendencies, yet they are productive of no good. There are many other amusements 'more conductive to happiness and thought than can be obtained in a theater. They detract from the churches, which are entitled to the at tendance of the people. No harm can possibly befall a man or a woman at tending church,' and it may result in much good. If theaters are permitted to violate the law, people will claim the same right. While the law does not make the attendance upon the church a necessity, but rather a privi leged does prohibit all forms of amuse ment such as theater on Sunday. way can the very wealthy be the most eloquent and show the true spirit of Him who ushered us In from .the dark and who with infinite love awaits be yond the pall the return of those who have learned Hts, lesson. Frem the tenor of a dispatch this morning. It is evident that the game laws of the state are not enforced. The dispatch states. In speaking of the Mongolian Pheasants, that "not only were they hunted during the open sea son, but for weeks before the 1st of October, the birds were hunted and many killed in violation of the law." Oregon has a game warden. It is his duty to see that the game laws of the state are enforced. There are not five people in Clatsop county thit knows who or what bis name Is. He is not known outside of his own front door yard. He has never been in the Lower Columbia to see that the laws are enforced. The fartherest he has been away from home is to go to Salem every month and draw his salary, and often, this Is sent to him by malL It 1 a political graft, paid for by the state, without any equivelent being rendered The game laws of Oregon have never been enforced, except so far as the provisions of the law fixing the game warden's salary are concerned. It is a well known fact, and the game warden knows It, that for a month prior to the opening of the season, Mon golian pheasants have been slaughter ed. It waa thought at the last session of the legislature, If the birds were not allowed to be sold, it would stop the slaughter. But sportsmen care nothing for the game laws and shoot hundreds of birds which are thrown away, or given to friends. The result is, that the Mongolian pheasants have been nearly killed off and It is only a matter of a year or two, at the present rate of slaughter, when they will be come extinct. The suggestion made that the law ;be so amended as to prohibit the kill ing of pheasants for three years, is a good one, but it should be further amended by striking out all after the enacting clauses. This will put the game warden out of business and the laws will be as effectually enforced as at the present time. The game warden Is evidently of the opinion, that his office is a sinecure; that he is not to enforce the laws but simply draws his added to the excitement.

The Merchant again today, engaged In preparing 'Its report and recommendations to con gress. Farther consideration was given to the various expedients -which hav been suggested for the upbuilding of the American merchant marine In the foreign trade, such as dlscreminatlng duties, mail subven tions, Increased tonnage taxes and na val subventions and free ships. Some attention was also given to proposals to reserve the Isthmian canal trade and the service now , performed by army transports to American vessels. Regarding the work of the commis sion. ' Senator Oalllnger, Its chairman, made the following statement: On the question of free ships the commission has made a very thorough and searching Inquiry as to the proba bie action of American shipowners. In reply to definite questions whether American companies now owning for eign built vessels would transfer them to the American flag under a free ship law, replies have been received frm the International Mercantile Marine company, T. Hogan k Sons, the Don ald Steamship -company, W. R. Grace ft Co.and a few other owners. These steamship men are unanimous In the statement "that there would be no in centive from a business point of view to transfer foreign built ships to American registry If they would be confined exclusively to the foreign trade, but to remain without subsidy, differential duty or any other govern ment encouragement on account of the greater cost of operating vessels un der the American flag than under some foreign flag.' Without exception, the American shipowners consulted by the commis sion declares that the passage of a simple free ship law, without some further encouragement to American shipping, would do nothing whatever to increuse the American merchant! marine. This Is the first time that an Inquiry of this kind has been gener ally made among American' shipowners.

The letter Is signed by Wlnthrop Marvin, secretary of the commission. !
