'.; Passing of the Red Electrics .
SOUTHERN Pacific officials state that, soon the red elec
tric cars will tome off Fourth street In Portland and the
line abandoned. That means the passing of the red electric
line from: Portland to Corvallis, known as the west side line.
It means that the buses have driven the interurban trains
, out of business. Just what provision will be made for the
towns on the west side in the way of train service remains
to be seen. The buses are doing most of the passenger haul
ing now; but trains have been continued to carry mail, bag
- gage and express.
Y One thing which prompts the junking of the property is
, Km the necessity for rebuilding some of the electric equipment.
This would entail a heavy expense. As the line, is unprofit
able now the railroad does not feel like making big capital
. investment on a losing proposition. Steam trams will run
to take care of f reieht : nerhaDs better train service between
Albany and Corvallis may be installed to-handle that end
of the line. Or it may be that motor cars driven by Diesel
engines will be substituted for the electric-trains.
Communities will do well to look ahead and see what the
ni fW nf siirk abandonment mav be6lL-rtheltax situation.
Kailtfoads have been the'kekviest taxparprsflf now tteifc
service is to be curtailed and much' of theirproperty junk-'
ed the roads cannot be called on to pay such heavy taxes.
Meantime even if we taxed the stage and truck lines all we
ought tOi all that money goes into road funds to buikTmore
highways to operate more trucks and stages on to put more
railroads out of business. None of the bus-truck tax, neith-
er the license tax nor the gasoline tax goes into the general
tax fund. A11 goes into the road revenues. In the city of
Salem for instance, the old street car system paid, heavy
taxes into the city, county and state treasuries. Now the
successor bus company pays just about as high taxes in
motor licenses and gas taxes as before, and frantically all
of it goes to, the state or county road funds although not a
penny of state or county road money has gone to pay for the
paving of the streets on which it operates.
These are some facts which ought to be pondered over
by the taxpayers so the" shock may not be too severe when
they see their tax bills mount sharply,
j . ,
Curbing the Gambling Instinct
SOME people are just naturally born gamblers. Negroes
shoot craps.' Chinese have all sorts of card games and
other j games of chance. The English bet on horse "races
whether in the homeland or in Canada and Australia. Ital
ians operate lotteries, sponsored by the government. Amer
icans find their outlet for the gambling instinct in a variety
of ways. . Some bet on the races, but this is pretty much re
strictedlby prohibitory legislation. Some bet on ball games,
others on prize fights or election results.
Among the devices employed in this country to separate
a fool from his money very quickly is that of guessing on
figures in certain statistical reports. Thus it was disclosed
recently through the attempted bribery of an Associated
Press': messenger, that extensive gambling was going on
through organized promoters as to the figures of the daily
clearing house returns. This had become such a vice that
some newspapers, eager to get this moron circulation, were
printing the figures in large letters and rushing their early
editions to the centers of this gambling fraternity.
Now the district attorney in Washington, D. C, has re
quested the newspapers there to discontinue publishing
- treasury balances and clearing house figures. While it is
reprehensible to play up the figures to pander to the gamblr
- ing element, a newspaper in discharging its public duty
ust publish figures so important as treasury balances or
! clearing house totals in spite of the misuse to which gambl
ers may put them. For the vicious promoters of gambling
schemes will devise some new game of chance if these are
debarred. -
letting may be either a mild vice like cigarette smok
ing or a major crime against one's self and his family. The
appetite for gambling grows, and the friendly game of cards
with a two-bit ante may become a poker, game that strips a
man of most all his possessions. It is hard to eradicate; the
eviL "Laws like the anti-lottery laws dxmidtf to atop the
spread of the vice; but it takes eternal vigilance to suppress
the slot machines, faro games and poker dens which cater to
the gambling instinct in the human There is more of the
gambling fever in the air now than for a long time, because
: much of the speculative frenzy is just gambling, on price
quotations by ignorant adventurers. -

The wniamette University
Alumnus, the able paper that
keepe the old nd new "grade"
ot that Institution In touch with
the doings on the campus in Sa
lem, in its number for January,
1917, said: "Erery museum has
unique pieces, but It is probable
that Willamette has the only 'Bi
shop's Pillow.' When the museum
was mored to the second floor of
the gymnasium last summer, the
strange reUe was again brought to
light. It is of grayish marble about
the size of this page(seren by
alas inches) aad a little more
than an inch thick. For years it
was used as a pillow by Bishop
William Taylor ....
T "V
"Dr. M. C. Wire, an honored
minister now retired and living
ia Newberg, recounts the incident
associated with securing that
block ot marble. Wo are indebt
ed to the California Christian Ad
rocato tor Dr. Wire's story. It
was In the summer of 1890. The
Oregon conference eamp-meeting
was to be held in Canby and X
was to be la charge. Bishop Tay
lor was Just home from Africa and
I could . think ot no one whose
presence at tno camp-meeting
would be a greater spiritual up
lift. 80 X wrote him and, rather
to my surprise, he consented to
come. X met him at the station in
Salem. Among his impedimenta
was a Tery heary package 'about
the aUe of a teacher's Bible'
S
"Dr. Wire aad his helpers had
put up a cloth tent on the camp
ground tor the bishop's use, and
had written across the tent ia
large letters, 'Bishop Taylor He
looked at it and said. This is the
first episcopal residence I erer
had.'
, S
f"T9 story e)f Or. Wire contin
ues: ''One morning I went Intents
tent early to see if I could be of
any service to him. There ho lay,
his giant form stretched out la
the bed and his head (perfectly
bald) resting on a piece ot mar
ble about tho size of a Bagster
Bible. The marble was laid upon
the feather pillow. X said to him,
'Bishop, what makes you lay your
head on. that piece of; marble?
Because," he replied, there. Is so
much African f erer in my system
that my head -feels cooler en the
marble.' How It thruled. me!. HI?
derotlon to his great work v in
spite of sufferings, hardships and
ferersl' .The good man:then went
on to say to Dr. Wire tiat'he for
merly used a book fo apUlow.
but on one occasion, not finding
a book, he saw a piece f marble,
used it, and found It sofmneb, bet
ter that he had a piece of marble
cut. and carried it with hlm.Dik
Wire then asked: him if he cared
for that particular plejo bt mif
ble, and he said, Oh no; any Piece
would be just as gbooy - 8e they
had a duplicate made forHthe bi
shop's use and kept the original
Ibi some way not-known to the
writer,, the marble pillow even
tually found Its way; Into the mu
seum at .WCltniiette t where it
speaks the message of the conse
crated bishop. For ith St. Paul,
ho could say, 'Neither (ount I my
life dear unto me, that X may fin
ish my course with Joy, ' and the
ministry which X hare received ot
the lard Jesus, to testify the good
news of the grace of God.'
' The Bits man is sure that no
good Uethodlst needs to be told
of the greatness of BUhop Taylor.
As a missionary preacher, he spent

a letter to his wife: "After dinner

Bishop Simpson had halted fa
the forenoon at the Xong Wharf
where Taylor was preaching to a
large crown, out, news on ine
way to an appointment of Jils own
eould not stop. Taylor went from
the const to Canada and the east,
then to Europe, Australia, Tas
mania, New Zealand. In 1878 he
was in India, where he did a great
work. He wrote a book, "Tea
Tears of JSelf-supporting Missions
in India, having performed won
ders of evangelistic and organis
ation ia that land. Bishop Simp
son's last official act as presid
ing officer was at the general con
ference of 1884, when on May 84
of that year he consecrated Tay
lor as a bishop, and at the same
time Bishepe Fowler, Walden,
Mallalleu and Klnde, all men of
mark. Salem people heard Bishop
Fowler in the late eighties, and
were charmed by his eloquence;
"Neither count t my life dear
unto me," Quoted by the Willam
ette University Alumnus, were the
beginning words of tho test which
Bishop Simpson took for his cele
brated sermon in the Belknap set
tlement school house ia 1854, and
so-moved bis congregation as they
had not been moved before and
ho delivered the same sermon,
years later, to the largest audience
of the kind ever up to that time
assembled in England, and thrill
ed the supposedly more astute and
stolid great crowd as deeply as
ho bad moved his hearers in the
log, school house in pioneer Ore
gon; During tne Civil war,' Bishop
Simpson delivered many patriotic
addresses to , packed audiences In
the greatest hails of the country,
when every man, woman and
child was hrought to his or her
feet shouting la wild excitement
or deep feeling. He spoke in those
times as no one else did, or eould.'
Thereat ter.. Bishop JTaylo be
came the great apostle to the peo
ple o( darkest Africa. He was
kntrtm as the bishop of Africa, or
the bishop to all humanity, with
his headquarters in Africa. He did
much more than any pother man
of "bis time in spreading Chris
tianity over tne dark continent,
founding thousands . of churches
and -.' mission stations, making
many of them self . supporting
through farming industries. He
wrote a book, "Christlaa Adven
tures in South Africa." I
Reference to the "bishop's pU
low and It historic connections
is made here partly for the pur
pose of reminding tho reader of
the fact that there has long been
a mooted project for tho erection
of a great memorial building oa
the. campus of Willamette univer

Salem's objections are based
primarily upon its own claims to
the waters in question and a de
sire to protect such rights as it
may hare, with tho, view that at
some time, possibly soon, the city
will find it necessary ta obtain
water from this source for domes
tic use.
.The general protest from all ot
the protesting agencies, however.
will center aboat the threatened
destruction ot one of the few re
maining wilderness anas ta the
state- the only one within a few
hours' drive irom. tha principal
cities of the middle Willamette
valley.-
A conduit which will carry all

would tnean the drying up ot the

claimed.
Tho game Interests point out
that the Santiam is one ot the
most Important "seed" streams

producer of salmon spawn, which
sustains the third largest Interest
In the state, they declare. It Is
also a heary producer of trout,

state;, and. tens ot thousands ot
vacationers, from this and other

It Ir also claimed by this group
that the 'proposed raising ot the
