a greater significance than most, people realize. Thl Humid

the ones needing the finest yarns or threads. , ' . ? '-
If the dream of Senator Joseph should be realised, and
we should be! able to offer to the manufacturers of the world
the cheapest water power to be had any where, ourj section
would very rapidly become a great hive of industry. J t

"OF THAT DAY AND HOUR KNOWETH NO MAN
(In view of the fact that in some sections people have
Bold of f all their property, and bought themselves fscension
robes, and even wings, the writer is pleased to publish the
following buIleUn, sent by W. L. Burgan press secretary, at
Washington, D. C.:) - i 5
; ' In view of the approaching date of February 0, set by
some for the end of the world, the executive committee of the
Seventh-day Adventist denomination at their headquarters
in this city have put on record the following repudiation :
Whereas, a group of people having no connection with
the Seventh-day Adventist church have assumed hef name
of this organization, and have set a date for Christ's second
advent, announcing February 6, 1925, as the time: for this
event, we hereby place officially on record in th minutes
of our General Conference our repudiation of all time-setting,
and record our protest against connecting the name Seventh-
day Adventist with this propaganda. Anew we declare to
the public that . throughout our history our witness! to the
signs of the times that show

UNCLE SAM, JAPAN, AND THE POPEl
r : The proceedings of the antinarcotic conference at Geneva
disclose that the fact that there are only three great forces
standing unreservedly against
And they are the Vatican,
With Japan as the moral police force of Asia and the)
Vatican as opium's historic antagonist since Pope Nicholas
of the thirteenth century, stands Mr. Porter, head! of the
'American delegation, appearing as the prosecuting attorney
of civilization, . t ; j .!,
;; Why only these three? ! f i
Because England, Holland, and all the rest of the powers
- are in some way concerned in the profits of the opium trade.
That's why. ; V'r'.-: 1 'M'
- So are Japanese, but Japan as a nation is big! enough to
overlook the present profits of some of her peof)l4 for the
' greater good of her whole
responsibility a the guardian of the Orient. " And she; is
very wise. 1 :..'pS:'-UJr'i -i
L Secretary of State Hughes said, the other day, that Japan
is the only nation in the world with which the Urtitld States
has no quarrel at the present time. ' i V
A LlItGCIl NORMAL
The Eugene Guard, which dls
, cusses everything from a highly
f lateUectuat standpoint, - declares
that either there must bo more
normal schools or there must -be
increased facilities at the. present
one. The proposal is .made to
add ' normal . departments in the
agricultural college and tne state

sented, like ' Ashland? and La

However, j at the present ;tlme
there Is every reason to believe
that given proper facilities, the
normal
at Jloumouth' caa -meet
all the requirements tor the next
few years, after which the ques
tion of locating branch, normals
can come up for serious consider
ation. In the present 'condition
of our taxpayers It would not be
fair to heavily burden, them by
establishing two new , normal
schools now. It would be much
easier to increase the facilities of
the one at Monmouth : so It can
cover the field. It is doing the
best It can. and it is not covering
the field now. but it can if prop
erly f equipped. However, every
dollar spent there Is a permanent
Investment, and can be kept as
state property for many years, l It
seems to us the thing to do is to
strengthen the present normal
school and then when we get a
little eased up, establish two new
ones in regions not now served by
any Institution . for higher educa
tion.
THE DRIVE -
E.-S. Barnes has taken hold of
the drlye for the Red' Cross for
Marion and Polk counties. That
it will be put across energetically
goes 'without saying. Mr. Barnes
is an organ iztr, a successful busi
ness man. and he believes heartily
in the Red Cross.
But Mr, Barnes Is entitled to
the help -of all the friends of the
Red Cross In the two counties and
that. Is practically all the popula
tion. Mr. Barnes can ; not be ex
pected to do this work alone.
There are so many people who.be
lieve In what he is doing. There
is a danger of (everyone thinking
there are enough workers,- and let
ting It go at that. That Is the
only danger that conf fonts the
drive. Overonfldence is ; a bad
thing. Mr. Barnes must, nave
the active help of the friends ot
this movement everywhere. That
being true. , the drive ? will f go
across without anybody feeling it.
It only costs a dollar; rich and
poor alike pay the same amount.
It is the people's contribution to
relief work which they are anxious
to do, and can not do individually.
In this county the work is largely
looking after - the - soldiers, and
certainly nothing is more meri
torious. AFTER STONE
Nothing: shows the littleness of
big men more than . the attempt to
get Attorney General I Stone, who
has ' been nominated for the su
preme bench. The only charge
against Stone is that be has done
his duty and his offending Is that
in doing his duty, he has to chal
lenge a United 1 States senator.
Certainly the senators of Wash
ington can' not afford to be ad
vertised to the country as pro
tecting any man who is under the
espionage ot the law. If Stone
is an unfit man he should not go
on the . supreme bench, but the
very fact that he has Insisted on
doing his duty in the face of these
great obstacles shows that he
must be Just the sort of man who
is needed on the supreme bench.
That position Is no; place for a
jellyfish; no place for time-servers.
It is a place for! men of cour
age who realize the responsibility
of their positions and act . fear
lessly, i Attorney General Stone
seems to fit the requirements al
most as if he were made for the
place.' ; . . ,
If,
Of course no one can object, to
people bringing all sorts ?of ; mat
ters before the legislature, but It
does seem thai the proposition to
put Oregon in a class with Florida
is I about v the limit, ; They are
openly j bidding for rich merj ! In
Florida. They are openly bidding,
for men who want to escape just
taxation in other states, f They
even - passed a ) law permitting a
man to be divorced from . an In
sane wife. Florida has set out to
be the rich man's paradise.
Oregon offers an opportunity
for everybody, rich i and poor. ' It
is an agricultural and fruit grow
ing state, with .immense water
power that must be utilized in the
next few years. . It would be hard
to : imagine two . situations more
different than those between Ore
gon and Florida. i
CTTTIXG
GOVERNMENT EX
PENSES It is true that taxes are not go
ing to be reduced (Very much in
Oregon because the growing needs
of the Institutions must be met.
However, that is all the ; more
reason for economy and cutting
to the bone on every appropria
tion. We have so much govern
ment now that the cost Is tremen
dous, and do the best we can.
taxes are going to.be high, but If
we are careful we can use econ
omy and keep them down" so that
the; growing property interests
will ease the burden. . i
