BROUGHER PORTLAND CAN as well afford strong clergymen as can Los Angeies. uoa Angeles may stand in the greater need of them, probably does; but all through this bid for Dr. Brougher to go to , Los Angeles, It has seemed inappro priate that his going should appear - as -a promotion. Portland 1b one of the richest cities, on the continent. On this coast, It Is a city of the first rank. Its appointments in the church or any otber field, are not, x or ought not to be, less pretentious than those of other coast "titles. Therefore, when the White Temple congregation laid down tbe principle that their church id as deserving of an able pulpiteer as the Los An geles church, and when, by appllca tlon of heroic measures they made that principle good, they reflected credit on all Portland. The scenes at the White Temple when Dr. Brougher's purpose to re main was announced were evidence of why Dr. Brougher was sought In both cities. Few testimonials more striking come to men of his calling. The great audience rose en masse and amid waving handkerchiefs and band clapping gave a wonderful token of their approval. The great organ struck up "Praise God From i Whom All Blessings Flow," but It ; had to carry the air almost alone for most of the voices were too , husky for action. It was a scene establishing completely Dr. Brough er's standing with his congregation, and that it ts survival of the fit for. him to remain In Portland. story, five and a half billions of who drove the red auto that night cigarettes, "health-destroyers," were desired by the authorities it can consumed In this country last year easily be secured by bringing in a enough to girdle the earth 132 times town marshal or two from McMinn- an average of 3236-a year for 25,- Tille, Woodburn, Dallas or other in 000,000 people.

But the sales go -on increasing, unques tionably to tbe increasing harm of this and succeeding generations. Most cigarette smokers themselves recognize that the habit is demor alizing. "It brings forth baneful dreams, it stills the soul, it paves the way for all the dissipations to which man Is prey. It dries and parches the throat, and calls for liquid accompaniment." It under mines the constitution and stifles conscience. It makes honest work repugnant. , It leads to gambling. It calls for association with vulgar and dissolute companions. The cigarette Is the first step, in thousands of cases, to physical, mental and moral degradation, wreck and ruin. A' THE COOK HAT. The next "crea tion" will be the "Cook Hat."

The rural maid In white dree with variegated ribbons and loose' tresses down her back Is larcely absent. The cose try lad in Lift teamed boot and coat tied la due largely to La Follette, was the first state to pass an anti-cigarette law. Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota and Washington have followed Wis consin's example. Oregon has a law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to and their use by minors, but the law Is rarely enforced. Perhaps It Is one of the evils that cannot be stamped out by law; If so, there is all the more need to arouse public sentiment against It and make It odious. Prominent educators agree that cigarette smoking by boys under mines their constitution, weakens them physically and mentally. ' This Is no guesswork; careful. observation and tests prove It. Mike Murphy, athletic trainer in the University of Pennsylvania, a man at the bead of his profession, says: "No young man who expects to accomplish any thing In athletics should touch cig arettes. They are a rnrse to man. whether he ts aa athlete, or not. President Tart on his western tour is going to talk on several sub jects of national Importance, espe cially the tariff, it is announced. It would be pretty safe to predict Just about what Mr. Taft will say on the tariff, but we won't; suffice it to say that If he endeavors to make west ern tariff revisionists believe that the new law Is after all a pretty good one, and ought to be satisfactory to them, he will fall. The people of tbe middle west. Including a ma jority of the Republicans, are pretty well Informed upon the protective tariff In general and tbe Pajne-Al-drich monstrosity In particular, and their opinion Is not going to be changed by any verbal soft soaping process, even If coming from a pop alar president. eirsrs.

From the Indianapolis News. As we read Speaker Cannon's answer to the Fowler letter, the defense is that Fowler is "a joke." The speaker admits that his answer is not an answer, for when asked whether he would "speak specifically of any of the Items of the Fowler arraignment" he said : "Why in hell should I answer him 7 He Is a damned joke. All of congress knows he is a joke." ' We understand, of course, that this Is Cannon's usual way of dealing with such matters, f Ho ive-ver anewera, never defends. He simply falls back on his "picturesque" qualities, emits a few pro fane epigrams and lets lt go. at that. But this method is becoming a little worn. People nowadays want to know the facts. Fowler is not a joke, not a joke even in the eyes of Cannon, for If he were he would not have been taken so seriously. The joke Is Cannon," one of the leaders of the gold standard party. In splto of his votes against all the great financial measures, and also a leader In the work of currency reform, who voted for the Bland bill, against real resumption, and against the silver purchaae repeat His whole attitude toward public affairs Is a joke, as we have tried to show. Mr. Fowler has dona something at leaat to convert the joke Into a tragedy -or. per haps, better, a calamity. When Uncle Jo begins to sputter and fume w may be very sure that something has hap pened to him which he does not wholly enjoy. Mr. Fowler knows more about the money question In one minute than Cannon has forgotten In a half century. ror all that Cannon has forgotten or would like tt forget are his votes ln favor of rotten finance. And this is the roan whoso duty It Is to appoint the banking and currency committee of the bouse, probably at the present time th aaoet Important of alt committees. its specialty.

"What did he sayT" next demanded Fnller. The attorney for the defense jumped te hla feet and objected that the con versation could not be admitted In- the evidence. A half hour's argument fol lowed, and th judge retired to their private room to consider th point. An. hour later th judge filed Into th courtroom and announced that Mr. Fuller might put hi qaeation. -Well, what did th plaintiff say, Mr. TameT - H weren't at heme.

These coiffures are fan tastio beyond-words' and It- will be a relief when the hair supply does .give out and my lady is forced to depend upon her own treaties for adornment. How women can eee beauty ln a style of hair dressing that makes the head resemble a piece of land that haa been worn awav bv water and left ln the form of grottoes, canyons and other weird shapes. Is beyond the comprehen sion of the uninitiated. Add to such styles the horror of "bangs" which have arrived again, and nversklrta which are on the way. "Dr. Cook hats" two feet high, the birds of the air and the vegetation of the earth f r hat trimming, and one naturally bo gins to wonder what our women ar made of. After all fashion is not so far re moved from barbarism In some ways aa lt might be.
