Shakespeare. 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 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 Oregon congressional delega tion has six jobs to distribute among the faithful the United States dis trict attorney for Oregon. registers and receivers for the land offices at Lakevlew and Roseburg, and the of fice of register at La Grande, J.

Bremerton has decided that it would tiurt her pride less to shut tip the saiouiiH than the navy yard. 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 THE FIRSTBORN. Why is h that the firstborn child is so often the healthiest of a family of chil dren? The reason seeuis to suggest it self. As.cWUl follows child the mother lias less and less vitality ; often not enough for herself and none, therefore, for her child.
