THE COAL STRIKE ; m SSts-4 - X i t ' Both sides to the anthracite coal strike have a common interest Jn bringing, the strike to an end and should in the "public interest as well as in their own, put forth renewed efforts to do so. , ; , '- It is of great inconvenience, to the public to continue the strike and -neither of the other parties involved have the right to ignore the public while they fight each other. But whatever the. outcome so far as the public is concerned both - -operators and miners are bound to lose in the contest. "Elyery'hour that th strike is prolonged the anthracite ' coal users will consider and plain for theluse of other fuels as bituminous coaloil; ;wood anacoke. ; ,v : " ; . . If the miners shall succeed in defeating the owners and operators1 of 'the mines tthey will, if the contest is a long I tlrawn affair, kill the industry which has furnished them with 1 a livelihood for years. - The reduction in the use of anthracite ?has been twenty per cent during the past four years under i ordinary competition of substitute fuels. i t , Everywhere stimulated by the present outlook, there is I just now increased effort put forth to educate the people L to use other thari anthracite fuel. Thousands of oil burners iftre being installed and individuals,' firms and corporations all over the coal-using portions of the country are changing their ' heating equipment to permit the use of soft coal. In Oregon, wood being the chief fuel, we will not be very materially affected by the shortage bound to occur under present condi tions, continued. , And the owners and operators are apt to find in the Jieariuture, that the public is not dependent upon anthracite, the aristocrat of the fuel world, the costliest coal on the market. ' ; , u , There can be but one result from the present situation j and that is" the substitution of other fuels and the future i idleness or desultory operation of the anthracite miners, t -The miners will no doubt, after hardship and losses inci- 1 dent to change of employment or position, settle down , into , new avenues of employment. And since the operators and owners represent a class of men who are financially able,' for ' themost part, to absorb the losses incident to the strike, the country win not te lrrctnevucAuiy dixcvbcu "-- f There is, however, a class of individual citizens whose pmiinment for "use anthracite is exclusite, who cannot afford the" necessary change and those whose occupation is disturb ed an4 whose losses are real burdens upon them, i, : The day has gone when the prolonged strike affecting normal industries should be permitted. With the departments of labor and commerce functioning properly, the government should exercise its prerogatives in the demand for economic " justice and in keeping alive the nations essential industries. 1 9iMa 8M--1 r iv SOME SUNDAY SERMONS ; IN PULPITS OF SALEM -When the Frost U on the Pumpkin" Topic of Rev. C. B. Ward, and "The jGi-eatest Fat in the World" by Rev. X. K. TuUy The Greatest Fact in the World" (By Norman K. Tully First Pres byterian Church) A fact is anything that is strictly trne. It is strictly true that "God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son. that who soever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life." Luther called this verse "The Lit tle Bible." All Divine revelation in comprised in it. Others have called it "The Little Gospel." Just as attar of roses is the expressed essence of hundreds of thousands of rose petals, po is this verse the refined quintessence of the Gospel plan of salvation. Does a man have no time to read all the Bible? Let him read this verse, and he will have the whole of Holy Writ? Is his mind so driven with care that he cannot master the philoso phy of the Christian religion? Let him attend to this verse, and he will have the sum of the whole matter. As light is focused on the retina of the eye to convey pictures of the objective world about us, so In this verse is drawn to a focus the whole revealed re ligion, r A great danger is pointed out men may perish. This is both an authoritative statement of Scrip ture and an observed fact of na ture. Christ told the objectors in the Zacchaeus incident that He had come "to seek and to save that which was lost." Paul de clared to Timothy that Christ came into the world "to sove sin ners." If men are not in a lost condition, why did the Saviour come? Furthermore, "change and decay in all abont we see." Physi cally, unused muscles and organs atrophy; the mind grows stiff and memory railSi.fhe aesthetic faculty uncultivated sRfdes until color and harmony; musfc and poetry are not longer appreciated : the moral sense may becoma i-o 'dfm that the conscience cannot ' distinguish be tween right arid wrong; and the soul may become finally separated from God. Then follows a great love to overcome the danger the love of God, which passetli all understand ing. This love shows itself in the merciful kindness of God by which he turns our souls to Christ; keeps, strenpthens and increases them in Christian faith, knowl edge, and affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Chris tian virtues. This love of God keeps our hearts and minds, it warns U3 against every pitfall and erects a guide post at every un certain point in the pathway of life. Next is revealed a great gift the gift of God's Son. God is in His Son reconciling the world un to Himself. This is the way God chose to deal with our sin. He gave that which would cost a par ent the most, hia Son, his heart's core, the blood of his own soul. This great gift both matches the Father's love aVd "over-matches our danger of perishing. We observe further a great re sult, salvation. Those who ac cept the Father's gift experience both a remarkable supernatural love for The Son and a,, chaneed condition of their hearts. , They become new creatures. They have the mind of Christ, and enter upon that glorious career of endless growth by which they are assured that they shall become like Him. Finally, here is marked out our great duty, to believe. Men are reminded of their rights by every cart-tail orator in the land, but only the Church of Jesus Christ will call them to their duties. Our supreme duty is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That means to accept Him as Teacher. Leader and Saviour. May God give us all the grace so to do. TEACHERS DEMAND SALARY INCREASE (Contiou.d from page 1) Neer, Gregory and Gahlsdorf for the purpose of conferring with the committee of teachers! in the mat ter of placing the matter ofra gen eral salary rise before the people. : Superintendent i Hug declared that teaching efficiency j has ''reached its peal" in the; Salem schools. He said that the: teach ers are given a $5 a montarise yearly for three years if they stay with the Salem schools. Most of the teachers have remained that length of time and have become adapted to the needs of Salem, but now, Mr. Hug stated, they have no inducement to stay longer, as they can receive much higher salaries elsewhere. He expressed the fear that unless the evil is remedied soon, Salem will lose a great share of its best teachers.

It is said that alcohol was discovered in 'the attempt to 'make an "elixir But certain helps to youthful- ness are available to all of us: Q t. Think health, forHhis some truth in the oid.adage, "tninK sick, get sick." The person who Is ever feeling his pulse and having his heart, lungs and stomach exam ined will sOon become an invalid! 2. Keep the forward look, re tain the best dreams of youth, for there is not much to do but to bury a man i when the last of his dreams axe dead. Think less fre- quently of the "good old days;1 bt the past, and more oftetv of the good days yet to b. -' 3. Keep thf'upward look which the .Apostle Paul calls "the upward Calling fn Christ Jesus." For there is "something hid beyond the ranges; go and find it; something lost behind the ranges; lost and waiting for you, go!" ; A. Keep young by clean living and spiritual thinking. : But in Bpite of all our efforts, ; old age is inevitable. How shall we pre part for it: -1, By cultivating friendships they are priceless In after years, they leap across the gulf into eternity. What a hor rible lament Macbeth made: ; "My life is fallen into the sere and yel low leaf; and that which should accompany old age, as honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have, but in their stead, curses! Old age will be beautiful or horrible as we have "troops of friends or curses; t. Good reading, make friends with the best minds of the ages, for they offer much comfort to d eel in Ing years. ; 3. Cultivate habits of industry that will enable you to do something useful even after "three score years and ten." . - 4.
