CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
. Occasionally there appear In some pe
. pars uncharitable reflections upon tha
HHug, w msBuueuon popularly Known
U tha Christian Science Church, 1U
teachings, leaden gad followers. Not In
frequently tha comments are based on a
failure to heal some Incurable disease,
. arid statements which have no foundation
are spread broadcast as facts, and on this
' Blmsy base a suberatructure of defama
tion, misrepresentation and abuse la too
. aft en reared.
Mora often than not, tha writer la Quite
Ignorant of the subject matter and makes
p in sneers what he lacks In knowledge.
Cher Is unquestionably much in Its
teachings the ordinary mind rejects. At
the same time, we doubt U tha average
medical practitioner., would enjoy haying
. pnly his failures to cure made a subejot
of remark,
, While not professing to know much of
sthe ..creed,; canons or workings f this
church, tf .Its members are to be judged
- - . - . - - - - ..... . t
by their works, then there muat be good
in its leacnings, u acts, not words, are
to count, then their sincerity is beyond
flnestlon.:
-It Seems hardly fair to aelect failures
"to cure as the only measure of their faith.
' Be, the reason what It may. whether as
some claim they try to live- what they
profess to believe and are more nearly
allied to the early Christian when bro
therly love meant everything; than are
the members of other churches or whether
they are a Imply fanatics, blind followers
of the blind, as la held by others, it is
Inoontsstably a fact that they are "doers
of the WorcV'-as they understand it But
" recently Subscriptions were desired for a
church In Maw York. City, and tha re
sponses were so many and liberal that
: notice was given that mora than tha de
sired amount had been received and con
tributions should cease.
To its members the teachings of thia
church bring in a large measure happl-
- neasl and contentment aid a love for God
and man. fy No one can attend their ser
vice. without bekig impressed with the
- sincerity) erBstaeaS'ad "greed "frilow
ship that exists between Its members. If
any are sick they are visited. If any poor,
they are helped. If hungry, fed. If faith,
hope and charity, are the three great
virtues, and charity the greatest of the
' three, these will be found to a greater
agree amongst the members of this mod
est church than In soma of the great
historic churches of Christendom.,
la-feet, these people try to live their
.' faith, to practice what they teach, and
- neither sneer nor threat swerves them
from their path. Their object and pur
pose is not to attack, but to attract, to
do good, not harm.
There muat be good in teachings from
which flow temperance, kindness, hu
manity and brotherly love. Would not
. one's time be better spent in attacking
evils which degrade mankind than in

,THE 8TATE'S PART.
The ways and means committee of the
' Lewis and Clark Exposition has agreed
Upon tba amount needed from the state
to make the. affair a success. - The sum
la $604,900, and the Legislature will be
asked to appropriate that amount for
, the ' purpose. It is estimated that it
would add to the state tax for two years
' 1.76 mills, to raise the amount, and that
.would mean $1.78 on each 11000.
It Is believed the people of the state,
ar a great majority of them, will gladly
stand this slight raise in taxes, and if
' neoesaary would stand even more. It, is
sot a Portland exposition, not even, an
Oregon exposition, but one In which
Washington, ..Idaho and Montana are
Kjuaily interested. Portland is simply the
solnt atfwhlch tha celebration Is to take
'.tlaoaw aad she has already done her part,
at raising alona an amount nearly as large
as that the state la asked to give, a
aberal .appropriation by Oregon will aet
tba pace for her' sister etatea. and also
go far toward securing a generous ap
propriation from' the General Government
It is well that the committee has agreed
so early, for there 4s time for the mat
ter to be discussed thoroughly, and when
the Legislature meets the conclusions
should be so nearly unanimous that It
can put Into law the wishes of tha peo
ple. Oregon was settled before Minnesota,
it baa been a atate for 41 years and it
still has a population of less than 600,000.
Its younger sister to tha north has out
grown it, while California has nearly four
times the population, yet no one acquaint
ed with. Oregon's resources would for a
moment place her In a class below either
of the states mentioned so far as natural
resources are concerned. It has been her
conservative methods alone that have
held her back, and tt la high time aha got
out of the old rut.
The opportunity is at hand In which,
along with the balance of the Northwest,
her resources may be made known to the
rest of the world. ,
The million dollars spent by the atate
aud Twehtnd' wlK Sr come back Indirectly
In the impetus given to all branches of
business, and in the settlement of the
publio lands and increase of population.
The amount la not extravagant. It la not
too large, for if we are to have an ex
position at all let it be a good one, one
that the whole people of the Northwest
can be proud of. Let It be that, or noth-
A FRIEND IN COURT.
Hooper Young has been arrested for
the murder of Mrs. Fulitier In New York
City. The murderer, whoever committed
it, was of the moat brutal type. Tha vic
tim, a handsome married woman, was
mutilated horribly and the remains load
ed in a trunk and dumped in a tide-flat
canal Tha trunk was taken by the murd
erer back to 1 rooms. When It was
found by the police It contained articles
belonging to the murdered woman, and
with them was the trousers worn . by
Young.
Taken altogether, a strong case of
circumstantial evidence has been made.
The discoveries to date ahow that Young's
acquaintance with the woman was brief.
There are no elements of jealousy,
blighted affection and all that legal rot.
Jraait zrcr; tiis eo to
ahow that the murder, whoever commit
ted it, was for tha purpose of robbery
alone. There aeem to be no weak links
In the chain of evidence that fastens the
crime on Hooper Young. And If anything
was needed to Identify him as the murd
erer, it Is the action of his attorneys,
who have already based their defense on
the insanity of the defendant.
It would seem from this that the at
torneys for the defense realize that they
cannot overcome the testimony of cir
cumstances, and have put up the defense
of "confession and avoidance." They will
admit th murder, but set up in defense
that Young was sufficiently unbalanced
mentally , that he waa' riof responsible for"
his acta. Thia la the loop-bole through
which all criminals with money or pull
escape. Young may have no money, but
back of him be has the Influence and the
power of thi Mormon Church, if It
chooses to wield it, and the chancea are
It wilt for it could hardly consent to
the execution of a son of . Its prophet
without struggle. And so he may
safejy steep of nights, a dreamless sleep,
unbaunted by visions of the electric
chair, for there la no sect, power, trust
Or combination, on tha face of the earth
today that can approach the Church of
Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ, of
which Brigham Young was the Moses. It
la a close corporation. It has unbounded
wealth. It controls the politics of three
states, and cuts a big figure in the fourth,
and In these days of political Intrigue, the
guHt or innooenee of one -man- la, not go r
ing to be allowed to interfere with poli
tics. It may be the church will not atand be
hind him. but If it does he Is Just as
asaured of acquittal today as he wlU be
when the Jury has returned its verdict of
"not guilty." .
Insanity, actual Insanity, Js, of-course,
a good defense against any crime, for
without the power to reason no man can
ha J.tMBSflsjhipr bis, ..acjfl,. crlrajnai
or otherwise, but the legal grade of ln
salnty, that stage of it where a criminal
la Bane about everything except crime,
has grown very monotonous to the Ameri
can citizen. What Is needed is a Jury
of 12 men who are afflicted with the same
kind of insanity, that will last long
enough to permit them to bring in a
verdict of "guilty." They need not be
insane on other. subjects, but jjugt craay
enough to accomplish tha object for
which they were chosen, and then, of
course, they can be aane enough to at
tend to their dally business.
A HARD WORKER.
A- contemporary, no doubt inadvert
ently, apeaka of Representative Moody of
the Second district as ex-Congressman
Moody." While he was not re-elected,
Mr. Moody has still the short term to
serve, and will not vacate hia seat until
the 4th 'Of March, next. And then, too,
the fact that he was not returned has
never made any difference In his work.
His vacation this year has been put in
as it was last year, in looking ater the In
terests of the state.
A year ago Mr. Newell, Chief Hydro
grapher, and Mr. Plnchot, Chief Forester,
WougHnhIs"urgehT"''inVltatlon, visited
Oregon, and were taken by him In his
private conveyance and, at hia own ex
pense through Eastern Oregon from The
Dalles to Ontario, a distance of nearly
600 miles.
Since the Congressional election last
spring he has gone on Just the same as
though re-elected. The bill giving Port
land a $200,000 Postofflce. and much im
portant irrigation legialatlon nave become
laws. Thia summer he has been with
the board of engineers over the proposed
Improvementa at The Panes, .and, in
fact it waa largely through his action
that their visit was made. He has also
arranged to have Mr. Newell make an
other visit to Eastern Oregon yet- thto

In fact, Mr. Moody has gone on attending-
to the state's business with as much
energy as though he had been re-elected.

A very grave question and one that in
terests many persons of all classes, es
pecially women, was raised a few montha
ago by the lawsuit of a young woman
who vainly endeavored to prevent a mil
linery company from using her photo
graph for advertising purposes.
Mr. Elbrldge Adams, who was counsel
for the complainant In this case, discusses
In the latest number of the North Amer
ican Review the legally permitted wrong
Yrom which hia client suffered and dem
onstrates the need. of better protection of
the right to prlvaeyirh'cl, wasijjagr,aniy
vfola'teii'ln this instance. It is almost in
credible that a young womau of excellent
standing, against whose character there
had been no attack, or even suspicion
could not find any legal means of pre
venting her photograph from being de
based to advertising uses. For a business
concern to take, or procure, the photo
graph of a respectable person without
the consent and over the protest of the
orlgt'nal to use It as a label for goods on
the market will strike the fair-minded
citizen as an outrage.'
And yet Mr. Adams shows that there la
no law In New York to prevent such
treatment of a wamon in that atate. how
ever far above reproach she may be, and
that moat of the other-tata. have a .sim
ilar lack of legislation on the subject.
The case of the young woman whom
Mr. Adams represented ably, but ineffec
tively, la only .one ot many Instances In
which private rights have been infringed
recently In a manner that ia calculated
to arouse the resentment and Indignation
of the right-thinking citizen. It will be
remembered that the, . .family of Mrs.
Schuyler, who waa conspicuous In life
time for philanthropic work, were unable
to prevent the exhibition of her statue at
the Columbian exposition to typify "Wo
man aa a Philanthropist." The Supreme
Court of Michigan has decided that a
widow can not enjoin a manufacturer of
cigars from using the name and portrait

prescribes a patent medicine and the
owner of the medicine publishes that fact

These Instances and many others that
could be given prove that there la a cry
ing need for the better protection of re
spectable privacy.
No newspaper, no bualnesa firm, no pat
ent medicine concern nobody haa the
right, or ahould be permitted, to use the
photograph of a" reapectabls woman for
advertising purposes, or take other liber
ties with private persons such as have
become, frequent in. these pryjng. daya
when Indecency seems to flourish.
Tha Legislatures of our 46 states meet

A8 TO SHOE LACES.
"The old saying that a lady is always
known by her shoea and her gloves might
be, made to apply to shoestrings as well, '
remarked a well known woman recently.
"I simply cannot understand the Indiffer
ence and carelessness among girls other
wise very well groomed In this , respect.
Since laced shoes are so universally worn,
surely the matter of shoestrings ia worthy
of at least a little natlce. But I see girls
going around with Bhoes carelessly laced,
with sometimes half of the eyelets missed.
The strings break and are knotted hasti
ly, and the result, particularly under a
short walking skirt, is most unpleasant.
Cheap cotton shoestrings, which break
readily, are almost universally worn.
When I was a girl my mother bought me
silk shoe laces, and I have found it paid
me to buy them for myself since. But
very few of my friends are willing to do
the same thing, though the coat is so
trifling." Philadelphia Record.

CHILD LABOR.
Our contention la that the child labor
problem Is a national, not a sectional
problem. By this we mean that child
labor ia used In nearly all the states or
the Union. The papers In some or the
.5iertheriX,..Sj.alSS are conynually singling
out "child labor in the South" for attarK,
when it frequently happens that in the
very states where these newspapers are
publlahd the conditions are as bad ai or
much worse than the conditions in the
South. If those Journals were entirely
sincere, they would attack child labor in
the United States, and the conditions In
the South would furnish only one chap
ter of the story. This evil came into
Southern life with the new Impulse in
cotton manufacturing in this section, it
waa a new problem for the South, and
we had no experience In meeting It.
But there are sincere and conscientious
men and women In the North who have
guided movements of thia kind in their
own states, and have been instrumental
in securing the passage of the needed
legislation. The advice and co-operation
of such people are welcome and are cer
tainly to be appreciated. Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
MAKES FOR MUNICIPAL, OWNKK
8H1P. The startling revelations of long-continued
and highly successful municipal
corruption In St. Louis serve to empha
size once more a lesson that students
of municipal economy and honest and
intelligent men who have had practical
experience With imunicfpar problems are
urging upon the public mind ail over the
country, namely: the absolute necessity
of givij" e!Ue -4te riht- to own anO
operate their public utilities. in St.
Louis, as --elsewhere, it develops that
the distribution of franchises to public
service . corporations was the real cen
ter and origin of the evildoing, and econ
omists and writers on the law, in the
magazines. In ' conventions to consider
municipal problems, and In meetings ot
attorneys, are coming more and more to
agree that these conditions will continue
and grow worse unless cities are armed
with the"powr-to'"estat)tts"ttHorTfiara-'
tain plants for furnishing their citizens
with light and transportation, etc.. as
they now do with water, sewer system
and some other necessities and conveni
ences. That the struggle for control or the
immensely valuable public frachise op
portunities which congested population
create may corrupt' a whole legislature
and an entire , state administration was
amply proved In the case of the Penn

MORGAN'S BIG. TIPS.

bathroom steward, $2 to the deck steward,
$2 to the smoking room steward, $1 to the
chief steward. In case he has performed
special courtesies. As these special cour

chief steward out and gave the deck
