A HARD WORKING LEGISLATURE
Urs:
. .; .The members of the Legislature have worked hard; they
have stack tenaciously and faithfully at their tasks, in com
mitteeand open session -f t 1 Y ) '
And they have accomplished much
Contrary to the idea of readers of some sensational news
papers which convey, the impression that the Legislature is
just one scrap after another. J r K I 1 ' ;
. But a consolidation bill should be passed; and an income
tax bill; and the two bills; seeking to collect additional reven
ues from corporations and others escaping their just share
of the burdens of a commonwealth that gives them a chance
to do business and make profits '
And every piece of legislation fulfilling the, campaign
pledges of the Governor and the members of; the Legislature
ought to be put through. ', Y-
Their the members of both houses may go "home with
their consciences clear and the satisfaction of having per
formed their duties; -and when the results are summed up
that will be the. verdict on the part of the reasonable people
orcne state. '

t , The visit of the French pharmacist Coue with his psy
chological formula seems to have created quite a furore in
some parts of this country, notably in Chicago, where .some"
quite remarkable cures, so it is claimed, were wrought by the
afflicted simply by coming into his presence. He explained,
however, that these cures Were effected by no , miracle or
spiritual, power. The persons' who were healed were not ill;
they only thought they were, he declared, and so all that
was' necessary for their. restoration wa3 to change their own
thought or attitude toward their troubles, i
. It seems hardly reasonable or probable that the constant
or frequent repetition of Coue's formula, "Day jby day in
every way I am getting better and better,' could seriously
affect one's physical ills. And yet there is no doubt that in
many caaes' it might be so. Llany people are habitual pessi
mists They are always expecting the worst to come and
often run to meet it. Indeed, their troubles often exist only
in" their imaginations. ; They live constantly; in a1 mental at
' mosphere of ? hopeless! gloom, which of - itself breeds disease.
In all such cases, auto suggestion or anything else that will
change their mental attitude Jtoward themsehresTthrrorld
and things, in general would change the condition even of
their physical systems. It is well known that grief and cad
ness, jealousy land anger may radically affect all the physical
function; by 'them digestion is often impaired, the circulation
,made sluggish and the nerves weakened. On the other hand,
great or sudden joy or happiness will accelerate the action
of the heart and the circulation and affect changes in other
.bodily functions. ,v; ' :Y " v.. -' Y v !" 4 . -
: '.While' it is true; that auto ; suggestion may, andioften
does , cure such diseases as are nervous or mental chiefly,
and may even be beneficial and helpful in most cases, of , ill
ness no matter what their nature, it would be a mistake to
tonclude that it could ever be a panacea for all human ills.

hopeful and are thinking and talking little else except ab6ut
their return to health. But this does not stop the ravages
of the disease. No .amount of auto suggestion or intellectual
asseveration will stop the ravages of cancer or eliminate a
settled disease of the kidneys, beart or liver. Something
more i effective than intellectual gymnastics is necessary in
such and similar cases.
Equally erroneous is the idea that this auto suggestion is,
or is closely akin to, the faith sb aften spoken of in the
Scriptures, in the power and efficacy of .which many relig
ious people today believe. A little examination of the Bible
will satisfy anyone that this is so." "Faith," says Paul, Vis
the substance of things hoped, for, the evidence of things not
seen." It is, therefore, not some figment of the mind or the
imagination. And it is recorded in Matthew . that, Jesus as
He returned to the city hungered, "And seeing a fig tree by
the wayside, He came to it and found nothing thereon but
leaves only; and He saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from
thee henceforward forever. And immediately the fig tree
withered away. And when the' disciples saw it they marvel
ed, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto
you, if ye have faith and doubt not ye shall not only do what
is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto the
mountain, Be thou taken up and cast lntothe sea, it shall
be done." Evidently something more than intellectual assev
erations or auto suggestions are required to do such work3
as these. . - :. . . "
Humanity is only in its infancy. It has only fairly begun
to develop its wonderful possibilities. There are lying dor
mant in all of us powers and faculties of which as yet we have
never conceived. The infant has no conception of the power
and ability that is to be his daily habit when he comes to the
maturity of manhood. No more have any of us the least
understanding of what we are to be when some, of. the pos
sibilities now dormant in us are brought into activity. Most
of these possibilities are in the spirtual nature. Ths state
ment may seem extravagant and visionary, to those who are
not yet conscious that they have a spiritual nature. But
unless we are to reject the testimony of the New Testament
and disbelieve its promises-sunless we are to deny the truth
of some of the strongest human testimony, this must be
true.': ' " , ; ' f 1 ,; . ' " .; .-.;. f .V"
v It was by the power of faith, which the developed spir
itual nature is able to exercise, that Jesua, the disciples and
apostles and their followers, according to the New Testament
record, were able to do their so-called miracles. And this
same power is promised to those who become His disciples
that is; who develop the same spiritual life that was in
Him. And this promise,like all the promises of the New
Testament, is not simply to those of the distant past. It is
biade to those of this age to countless generations yet to be
born. Otherwise the New Testament must1 be rejected in
toto as not practically adapted or applicable to jthis age or the
future. : , . '
- More, who that has had any religious experience , what
soever, or even any large experience in the . world, ha3 not
3een evidence of an occult, wonderful, silent force, whether
one recognizes it as" spiritual or not, that has been exercised ;
to heal disease and to help, solve many of the difficult pro
blems of life? Instead of classifying faith with the myth3 ;
md superstitions of the ignorant past, we are destined to j
see its manifestation in human life more and more. Many are
Uready beginning to rely upon it, not only to heal disease,
but to guide, help and sustain them in all the duties and
trials of life. May their number increase, for through - the
spiritual nature of men and its development and powers
must come the elevation of the race and its salvation in this
world from war, sin, injustice and world-wide suffering. ," 4 ,

George White inefficient? Ye

France In a subordinate position.
There, wise higher-ups who knew
his record lit on him and gave
him service with the general staff,
and the record was so "ineffic
ient" that he was' retained In the
service for a year after the war
ended. When George White dies,
which- he shows no signs of do
ing for many years yet. It will be
time enough to think about giv

remove an Inefficient adjutant

FAIR PLAY FOR THE SMALL
COLLEGE. :e S
The Oregon senate , has done
well to pass senate bill No. 184,
which seeks to correct a. discrim
ination which is odious ' and un
fair. For years the railroads of
Oregon hare given passes to the
presidents of the state schools,
ML Angel college,' and to some
professors in these Institutions.;
Do the railroads give passes to
anyone connected with ' the inde
pendent colleges like Albany, Mc-
Minnville, Reed, or Willamette?
They do not.
When the president of O. A. C.
goes to Ashland N he rides or a
pass but the president of Reed
college pays full fare. When the
president of . Mt. . Angel college
goes to Portland, he 1 shows a
card, but the president of Mc
Mlnnville college buys a ticket.
The Independent colleges have
messages for teachers' institutes.
and community gatherings, but
they must pay for delivering
them. They have educational
facilities and every student train
ed by them saves the state $300
yearly in taxes. To present their
claims costs them railroad fare,
while the state schools send their
representatives to the far corners
on a pass. Rather qneerK Isn't
it? ; ' -Y' '
It took the senate one short
jiffy to decide that if any college
president had a pass, all the oth
ers should have passes; or if some
had no passes, no others should
have; them. And it is up. to the
railroads to say whether all or
none shall be favored.
Now let the house push the bill
through.' , .. ,
Oregon has been generous and
patient with the railroads, but
when they discriminate against
the independent religious college
they are touching an institution
which has a lot of friends. As
Webster said In the celebrated
Dartmouth case. ','The college may
be small, bnt there are those who
love It." .
We ask for a fair deal for the
independent college.-
