THE COAL STRIKE

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.

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.

. V The desire to remain young is
' Almost anlversal. Ponce de Leon
sought the "Fons Jurentutls the
fountain of youth, la this western
' 5leHlfephere,, dreaming of a spring
whose waters would make youth
ihe" cohtln-oed boon of .man. 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. Practice the Presence of
God He is here by your side
every day. ,.At evening ; there
