Forest Grove, Or., Oct. 9. Fsrmers In
different sections of Oregon have been
sending reports to The Journal of the
mammoth sunflowers raised by them
this year, but a sunflower now on dis
play In this city la probably the largest
raised in Oregon during 1912. This sun
flower was raised In the garden of W.

Inches across, the stalk being nine feet
in height. It grew among the other

no fertilizer was put on the ground.
Deeply deploring ths attitude of the

United States, and particularly on the
Pacific coast, the United Presbyterian
synod of Columbia, at its recent meet
Ing at Albany, Or., went on record as
being opposed to any and all activity on
the-Sftbbathtay;rpaCTerTiotutlois
commending Governor West for his
I anti-vice campaign and . heartily wel
comed to Portland tha second World
Christian Citizenship conference next
yeaftHvTT1:'' v
Had the Synod of Columbia Its way.
Sunday would be a day of rest In every
sense of the word. There would be no
railroad trains funning and the street-
cars would be at rest... Sunday baseball
games Would be , out of tha Question
Theatres would be dark, and there would
be no work of any kind going on.
The srnod rejoiced. that the postofflce
department has stopped Sunday dellV
ery of mall in postofflces of the first
ami second classes, and urged that all
I labor leagues in the country unite In
petition to the general government to
restrain all Incorporated companies from
operating on the Sabbath.
The synod deplored the "drinking
habits cf many of our respectable cltl
sens, r.nd the drunkenness and debauch
try to which it eventually leads, and
the awful crime of traffic in the virtus
of sexes known as "whits slavery."
The proposition to establish a restrict
ed district was denounced. The synod
adopted a resolution stating that "be
yond all controversy, the only effective
way of dealing with vicious evils that
prey upon society and' the body politic
is ineir complete eradication, "xnia,
ths resolution continues, "is a province
in which the state alone can act with
authority, but the church may act in
the capacity of counselor. In this ca
pacity we appeal to the civil powers
that be that the licensing of the liquor
traffic for beverage purposes, or the
segregation of the 'social evil,' is, in
the language of Isaiah, 'to make cove
nant with death, and an agreement with
heU. '
Governor West's attitude toward the
vice evil, es evidenced in his recent
moral crusade, was recommended for
trial to the governors of other states.
J. H. Lelper was chairman of the res

ASKS RETURN OF BOATS
SEIZED BY THE WARDEN
CAPITA
L PUNI
S1ENT
DISCUSSED AT LENGTH
Before the Portland Civic club Mon
day night Dr. C. H. Chapman and King
man Brewster argued for and against
capital punishment, and Miss Dayton
closed the program with an address In
favor of the woman's suffrage amend
ment. The meeting was held in the
auditorium of the Medical building.
"I am against all punishment that
has In It any spice of vlndlctlveness,"
declared Dr. Chapman. "The Oregon
constitution provides that no punish
ment shall be vindictive, but that It
shall be reformative.
'There are many plausible reasons
for capital punishment but at tha bot
tom of all of these Is the spirit of
vengeance, or retaliation In the hearts bf
thos,e who advocate capital punishment
'Lapital punishment does not deter
people from committing murder. His
tory will bear out this statement. Tha
history of early England when there
were hundreds of crimes punishable
with deatn is a typical example.
Franz Kankanen, manager of the
Union Cooperative Fish company of As
toria, appeared before the state' game
and fish commission in session Monday,
and made a plea, for the return of
fishing boats that were seized by of
ficers of Fish. Warden R. E. Clanton for
violation of the closed salmon season.
Mr. Kankanen had a statement from the
men Implicated, acknowledging their
guilt, but asking mercy of the commis
sion because one or two of the men in
terested bad been deprived of their
means of support through the seizure
of the gear.
One of the men, according to Mr.
Kankanen's statement, is the father of
nine children and be has been in bad
shape since his boat was taken. Ths
commission decided to allow the fisher
men to make use of the confiscated
property for the present, but only as
the property of the state, and the boats I
must be turned over to the state of
ficers whenever asked for. In the mean
time their cases will be considered and
the salmon canneries that bought the
fish caught during the closed season
will be asked to make a settlement.
The entire board was present for the
meeting, consisting of C. F. Cranston,
Pendleton chairman; J. F. Hughes, Gold!
Hill, secretary; George H. Kelly, Eu.
gene; M. J. Kinney, Portland and C. F.
Stone, Klamath Falls.
