Therefore, tho quot ed statement herein gives us especial Interest. To make it the subject ot brief study In newspaper economics, will discourage most proprietors of printing establishments whence aro Issued periodicals. Salem, Is a town of less than 10,000 Inhabitants. It requires six people on the locnl staff to do the work there for an evening paper. Upon this basis, to issue an evening dally equally as good In Portland, where there aro 100,000 people, would require more than 60 people upon the local staff. In fact, to make the computation exact upon that basis, an evening dally in Port land equally as good as the Salem Journal would require 102 persons upon Its local staff, divided into 08 men and 34 women. Let everyone hesitate before at tempting to gain a footing in Port land, for, to pursue the study fur ther, everyone knows that the aver age reporter furnishes less copy in a large city than In a small town, so that 102 persons on tho local staff would not do the work. Something like 130 persons would be required. EVOLUTION ORTHODOX. A press dispatch from Kansas City Bays; Rev. Louthcr, who is a member of tho Soucnwest Kansas conference, la charged with being guilty of ' dlssem lnatlng doctrines contrary to and sub vcrslve of the doctrines of the Meth- odist Episcopal church," and It Is allege dthat he is "evolutionistlc." Either the correspondent who sent this out to the papers of the country is wrong or the Kansas City confer ence is strangely blind to the pro gress of thought in the realm of sci ence and philosophy. This Reverend Mr. Louther certainly may hold the doctrines of evolution, and not vio late any accepted tenet of tho Meth odist Episcopal church. There are atheistic evolutionists, and there arc aro theistie ovolutionlsts, and the thelstic evolutionists merely believe that the present organized state of the universe physical and social is the result of the plan of an Omni potent Being who worked along reas onable and rational lines In bringing about the development of higher forms of life. There is not an es sential doctrine of the Methodist church that is not consonant with this conception of the manner in which the divine power operated. As a matter of fact, the leaders of uiuuKUL ui uiai denomination are believers in thelstic evolution. It is taught in the Methodist colleges, and all Investigations pursued in biologi cal studies in such colleges are con ducted by men who hold tho evolu tionary doctrine, with the possible exception of a few who aro not recog nized as scientists of value. There is no denial of the existence and ruling of God, by those who con tend tor tlieistic evolution. Indeed. when scientists offered the system of evolution as an explanation of how these higher forms of life exist now. in view or the fact that ages ago all organisms were low, they solved the problem of how orthodoxy was to re conclle God with the demonstrated fact. The efforts of those Kansas City ministers will not mako for good to tho church at large, if they attempt to excommunicato the Reverend Mr. Louther for his evolutionary views. They will drive away others who be lieve in tho existence of God, and who at tho same time believe that Ho worked rationally and according to laws He himself set into operation. To believe in evolution Is not to deny. It is to establish him. and tn offer a conception that enables ono to travel along the road of scientific Investigation with the hopo that his uminatlon Is truth. Such actions as that of tho Kansas City conference is retroactive it la not calculated to strengthen the cnurcii in these days of greater lib orality of thought. It js imfortu nate. NEWSPAPER ECONOMICS. Tho Salem Journal says: Tiie, Jurnal ls very pround of its record for local nows.lt employs six persons on ,ts ,ocal 3 J and ' ll0Cal newSl has tour men ana two women reporters a staff unequalled n the state. Now. the East Oregonian esteems the Salem Journal as among tho val Hnable exponents of fearless Journal ism In this state. It Is pungent and aplcy In all Its uttorances, and wields NOT THE TRUE REASON Some of the critics of Dr. Wise have been both unjust and unkind to Dim in their attacks on his defenses of Chinese immigration. Mr. U'Ren's implication that Dr. wise would re sent the entrance of Chinese minis ters is one that the Oregon City statesman would not have made had he known Dr. Wise's broad catholic ity of spirit and solf-sacrlflcinK seal in piioiic improvement. Dr. Wise ls entitled to a crreat deal of credit for his chamnionshln nf the Chinese, though it proceeds upon mistaken grounds and insufficient in formation. Ho belonrrs to a moo which has known persecution, but which is generally most ungenerous toward other creeds and races. It is a rare thine io find a .Tow whn rfnna not hate a Catholic as cordially as the uainoucs nate tne Jews. It is re markable and creditable, therefore, that Dr. Wise rises above race pre judices to speak a good word for tho Chinaman. And if this wem nil nf the Chinese question, one would fol low nn witn zeal and delight. Tre judices of race and rell-it among the rapidly dying embers cf imruaric and superstitious llres that once burnt fiercely the world o'er. The right that man 1ms nn in !-..... ent right to migrate whltin- lie will is amu to the dreams of the Fimieh revolution. Organized society re serves tne ngnt to say who shall and Who Shall not set foot nn fnrnlirn shores, and the riuht of is one that must give way to the i mm oi nations to protect themselves from undeslred immigrants as they see fit. The reception of aliens is determinable by the receiving coun try upon such terms as seem trnnii tn it, and with the country of their de partino no complaint lies. It is in conceivable that any nation shouhi interpret as an affront the necessity for its subjects remaining under its own benign and unappr? .chable civ ilization. The reason Tor Chinese restriction, as Dr. Wiso will apprehend when hi' has l.-or longe- cl the acifk coast, is not racial or religious prejudice but tho simple fact that exclusion is better for our own people and bettei tor the Chinese. The choice involves a sacrifice, for we need cheap laboi in cortain lines, and the Chines need employment. But tho price ls tOO lliirh. Tr -..... . orumuiii eniurou rnent, riots and murders.

And tho high contracting parties agree to observe these rules as between tiiemseivcs m tne tuturo, The only question open Is whether this treaty Is still alive. This ques tion was left open by Judge Pnrlango in his recent decision. But tho lang uage of the treaty is clear enough. The use of any American port by Great Britain for the purpose of col- loiHnrr nml nliliinlnrr ivmnitlntia nf wnr to South Africa is explicitly prohibit ed. No one except Mr. Roosevelt and his British secretary of state could have any possible room for doubt on this score. Yet congress refuses to take any step to enforce the laws which the ex ecutive ought to enforce. It Is possi ble that the treaty is not alive. But why not ascertain the fact If there bo any doubt? Why not have a .prompt judicial determination of the ques tion? And then, if the treaty still be In force, as it probably Is, why not proceed to drive England from our shores? It is accepted on all sides that If Great Britain were denied the privi lege she is now enjoying in spite of tlie troatv of Washincton sho could not long continue her cruel war on the Boers. Our horses and mules are absolutely essential to her success in subjugating the brave little people who have fought and are still fight ing so heroically to preserve their liberties. Within a month seven ships have cleared from Now Orleans witn American horses and mules for use against the Boers. It Is admitted by English authorities that if they were shut out of the American mar ket their progress in South Africa would bo instantly checked. Ameri can and Boer students of tho situation declare that if Great Britain compelled to observe the stinulations of the treaty of Washincton. her cause in south Africa would collapse. It is kept alive only from the resourc es she draws from the United States. It Is up to the American people to bring this matter to a focus. They cannot permit this thing to go on as It has been going without becoming a party to the monstrous war of ex termination which England is waging against, the Dutch republics. We may proclaim our sympathy with the Boers as loudly as we please and we may shout ourselves hoarse in ap plauding the heroism of the Boer de fenders; yet It will all be but hollow pretense if we continue to aid and abet the English by permitting them to conduct military operations against tne uoers upon our soil.
