MORE RELIGION, LESS ACTING.
Ilev. Dr. Bryce, of Winnipeg, retir
ing moderator of the Canadian Pres
byterian nssembly, preached a moat
sensational sermon in Vancouver,
last week, at the close of the annual
assembly.
31r. Bryce is nn earnest, able man.
He has spent his best years in the
work of the ministry. He has preach
ed to save men and not to entertain
them. He has made his religion a
regenerating force among men, and
not a dramatic art to please the
senses.
Being this type of man, he deplores
the gradual tendency among the aris
tocratic churches of the large cities
in Canada as in the United States, to
make church service a dress parade,
with theatrical effect rather than a
spiritual awakening.
With scathing earnestness he con
demns the sermons made up of ora
tory .and not religion. He upbraids
the services that contains a master
piece of Jiozart, Wagner or Mendels
sohn and shuts out God. He deplores
the substitution of art for exhorta
tion. He feels that all the great
truths of the Bible and religion are
being dressed in compromising
robes to please the rich Bkeptlc and
the lethargic churchman.
He would turn drama out of the
pulpit and the opera out of the choir
and restore tbe fire of olden zeal and
the awakening of olden song,
t He accuses tbe Canadian church
of drifting away from religion. He
censures laymen for surrendering
their strict tenets and the clergy for
pandering to this "idolatry." He
cites that four-fifths of a million
people in Canada belong to the old
Presbyterian faith and that tbe la
bors of the men who made this rec
ord, are now being annulled by the
later clergy, which tolerates the pres
ent mechanical church-going.
Church-going in the United States
Is on the wane. The deep religious
spirit of fifty years ago Is seen in
very few congregations today, and
yet this does not signify that the
intrinsic religious truths are held In
any less reverence than formerly.
It does not signify that infidelity is
on the Increase. It signifies that
people change in their methods of ex
pression where once they went to
church and took deep Interest In
public confession, they now stay at
home or seek recreation with the
crowd, holding their faith Just as
sacredly as of yore, yet making It
a matter of private concern rather
than public display.
and do business ns Individuals, thus
escaping the Eddy law entirely.
True, tho legitimate bona fldo cor
porations of Oregon are not question
ing tho Justice of the law. They en-
Joy the privileges and blessings of
tho state and tho protection of hor
statutes and feel that this tax is one
of the necessary and Inevitable re
sults of their business life. They
stand on their actual values and are
doing business on capital that is tan
gible and tnxablc.
But the dodger Is dodging In Ore
gon as never before. The lnflatod
capitalist Is squeezing the water of
his stock books. The fnlse values
thnt have been paraded In six nnd to
ten figures are suddenly reduced to
dlnilnltive size.
There Is a vast difference In being
a capitalist In the newspapers and
lu being one on the assessor's rolls.
There is something horrifying to
many of the "wild cat" corporations
in the thought of taxes. Dividends
they can understand nnd thirst for,
but taxes they know not.
Taken as a whole, tho state over,
the Eddy corporation law Is going to
reduce Oregon's financial standing to
a true and sterling basis. It will be
the means of fixing just and perma
nent values on large property in
terests and will be the best induce
ment for large investments yet put
forth. Investors will not hesitate to
believe the figures that are present
ed to them. The values they see In
the newspaper reports will repre
sent actual capital and no fears need
be entertained for watered stock.
The law is a guarantee to strangers
seeking Investments.

THE HAWAIIAN DECISION.
THE ART OF DODGING.
Since the Eddy corporation tax
law has gone into effect, many of the
"heavy concerns" are reducing their
advertised weight.
One corporation has suddenly drop
ped from a capitalization of $100,000
to 4,000, In order to escape the tax.
A general scramble is reportod from
the head offices of some of the most
"prominent" corporations in the
state. Those who believe the law to
bo unconstitutional will dissolve
their corporate existence, place their
property in tbe hands of a trustee
The pioneer picnic at Weston was
well attended and each recurring
reunion of this society should be
more and more eagerly sought by the
young generation. The pioneers are
tho historians of the West. The
whole story of the conquest, forma
tion and building of tne Western
empire, Is written in the thrilling
story of their lives.
In the state of Kansas there is a
county containing 300 Danish voters.
In the past 30 years just one Dane in
this county has been arrested. Con
sidering the fact that this settlement
was made in Kansas at a time when
law and order were scarce in some
localities, It is a most remarkable
record.
By the usual vote of five to four
the supreme court or tne united
States has decided tnat tne consti
tutlon did not follow the flag to Ha
wall, but waited to be shipped there
by congress along wiin tne uaggage
of the territorial government, says
the New York World. Again It Is af
firmed that the creature is greator
than the creator. Congress was cre
ated by the constitution, but it can
acquire provinces nnd recognize the
constitution or not In them, Just as
it sees fit. It is as if a council of
ministers appointed by the czar of
Russia should annex a territory and
then decide whether or not the czar's
authority should have any standing
in It.
We owe all possible respect to the
supreme court, but when tho supreme
court makes a decision by a majority
of one. with the chief Justice nnd
some of his ablest associates in the
minority, It la permissible to doubt
whether the judgment is tne nnai
voice of Inspired wisdom. The dis
senting opinions are expressed in
language much stronger than could
properly be employed by n newspa
per. Chief Justice Fuller goes so far
as to call the decision a usurpation
by the court of the lawmaking power,
and says that it is plain to him that
immediately upon annexation tho
constitution of the United Stntes be
came the supreme law of Hawaii.
Justice Harlan Is still morYj emphatic.
The minority dissenting from this
decision is composed of Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Harlan, Brewer
and I'eckham beyond question four
of the strongest justices on the bench.
Of the majority Justices Brown,
White, JicKenna. Holmes and Day
it is to be said that Justice McKcnna
is certainly not the strongest member
of the court, that Justice Day was
secretary of state at the time the Im
perialistic policy was adopted, nnd
that he and Justice Holmes are tho
newest recruits to tho bench. In
such circumstances It is not at all In
conceivable that the court may yet
reverse Itself on this question, as it
hos done on others,

THE NEEDLESS FLOODS.
The most distressing thing about
the flood disasters In the West is
that the destruction of life and prop
erty haB all been caused by some
thing that ought to have been a
blessing. The water that tore
through Topeka and Kansas City as
a devastating enemy would have
been a most useful frienu if it had
been properly cared for. Most of it
came through regions that will need
every drop of It later in the season.
The most precious resource of those
regions has been worse than wasted.
A certain amount of water falls
every year between the Missouri
river and the Rocky mountains. It
is not enough for the needs of the
country, but such as it Is a great part
of it Is lost because It comes at the
