the State Election" he said: ;v''
"The cltlaena of Oregon have been
passing through an unusual contest. The
vaual officers of the state and county
have been selected, and greater moral
Interest and discrimination have been
'used than ever. The independent voter
ta the hope of the state.' The man who
' votes a straight ticket is not a good
' . citizen and is no reformer or Christian

and the Christian oltlsen seeks to pro-
mote high. Ideals with every ballot. And
they ware both in evidence at this elec
tion. May the--number of those, who
vote according to the sun of righteous
principle and not by the flickering
light of party i lanterns' be multiplied

- "But much of the moral interest -centered
this year In the laws which the
...people voted on directly through -the

' suits without coming to the conclusion
that the voters knew what they wanted
and how to express their convictions in
the i voting booth, i One may -not agree

month ago the state was as nearly won
as H aver can be. But they then began
with offensive personalities, questioning
the motives of any man or woman who
assumed the right to differ from them

: for tbeir-sakes that the men of Oregon
by decisive and evsn overwhelming ma

"The overwhelming defeat of the

LESSONS OF ELECTION.
Sards of Tlctory Bests oa Temperance
People, gays mev. Montgomery.
N"ln "a sermon" oil 'nhe'-.esooris -of -the
Election" yesterday rooming, Rev. An-,
drew Montgomery of the Third Preaby.
terlan church, eaat side, exhorted the
temperance workers not -to rest on their
oars after "the Tecent : victory but-to
exercise eternal vigilance lest the fruit
of theff labors be. taken front them. He
pointed wAit . that the vtotory gained
against the saloon forces placed the
burden of demonatratlng to the people
that the saloon Is an economic wrong.
a social evil and a menace to humanity.
Rev. Montgomery said In part:
, "A tremendous victory has been wqn
by the temperance forces In defeating
the local option amendment. The plu
rality ; against the measure Is simply
astounding. None of us ever dreamed
of - such a . vote but here It w and the
friends of temperance should be greatly
rejoiced. ' ! -. - ''
'There Is peril in every victory, how
ever, and I wish , to- point. out the dan
gers which lurk in -the path Of the
temperance advocates;' ' The first of
these Is the feeling - that " ths -victory
at the polls Is all that - is necessary
and ends for all' time the struggle. . A
college president has told mo that when
ever his football team gained a. victory

has come la Oregon,, for if you do and
eeass all-'-work- for the cause- of tem

the next contest. :
- "This victory is - the loudest call for
more "Work"thein ever been, heard
In our fair state. We shell not only
have to fight for every Inch of ground
we may hereafter gatn,--but - there will
be a battle "royal whold our preaent
position, -i-'i'
"The decisive result at ths polls can
only- be interpreted as a vote of confi
dence from the people and a long over
due rebuke to the liquor interests of
Oregon. For years they have meddled
in everything. The have endeavored
to dominate politics to .such an extent
that at last the voters have admlnls-
tared - a saliftary . lesson.''
HOW TO SUCCEED.
X. S. Xnckley Says Things Corns

a sermon delivered by Rev. E. 8. Muck

night - This was the second of Rev.
Muckley's "How Series." Hi said Jn

"Things corns by cause, not by chance.
The reign of law is supreme. If w

if not, they cures. And thero is no
