Dearing, Editor and Business Manager EDITORIAL COMMENT. Wanted: An apostle, Crefield prefeired. He is wanted so badly that the man who brings him in will get a cool hundred for his trouble. 3 Arbor Day comes this year on the 22nd of April. This is a legal holiday, and should be generally observed. We suggest that the teachers of the public schools form a brigade of the bright, active lads of their classes, and if not possible to do some tree planting around the school houses, that they will, at least, clear away the rubbish that is now scattered all over the campus, and pile it up for a bonfire. The boys will enjoy the work, andthe girls will enjoy the bonfire. 2 5 Judge E. O. Potter, of Eugene, is a candidate for nomination on the Republican ticket for circuit judge in the second judicial district. He is pos sessed of splendid legal attainments, and is recog nized as one of the leading attorneys of this state. If he receives the nomination, there is every rea son to believe that Judge Potter will be endorsed at the polls by the tail vote of his party. As the six counties comprising this district are Republican by a large majority, the nomination in the case of Judge Potter should be equivalent to an election. He and his family have been highly respected resi dents of Eugene for a number of years, and he at one time was judge of Lane county. & For the first time in years, Republican primaries were held in Corvallis last Saturday without a strenuous factional contest over the selection of delegates to the convention. But one ticket was placed in the field in each precinct, and the inter ests of all prospective candidates seem to be fairly represented. With few exceptions the same har monious spirit prevailed in the various precincts throughout the county. Where moire than one ticket appeared the contest was purely local aud had no organized movement back of it. The unanimity of sentiment shown augurs well for the success of the party at the polls in June. With a solid front presented to the enemy there is no reason why every candidate on the Republican ticket should not be elected. The convention which meets Thursday has the power to make this task easy or, difficult. Much depends upon the per sonnel of the ticket. Of course, all will not be pleased with the selections made, but the rank and file of voters is reasonable as a whole and will put aside personal prejudice to support a com petent, representative Republican. . This is a duty they owe to themselves and to the party. Every aspirant for nomination should use all. legitimate means to convince delegates of his strength and fitness. Having presented his case, if the convention chooses another for the place, he is bound by. every sense of right to lend the support of himself and friends to the election of his success ful opponent. By this means a strong party organ zation can be built up, and Benton county will be Republican in fact as well as in name. land are now engrossed in a spasm ot exaggerated activity, in which the unbearable woes of the daugh ters of India are featured as the wrong to be re dressed, or, what is better, to be obviated. For several years past in many . of the larger cities throughout the country the child-wife-of-India evil has been quite in the center of the stage among women with missionary predilection. The' horrors of the system has been painted in lurid colors, in which, as in such cases generally, there .is doubt less warrantable suspicion of exagention. Be this as it mayra couple of wealthy California ladies have visited India and .returning, have brought the propaganda or child-wile reform or relief, which ever term best describes their purpose, to our very doors. The result is the organization of a local society, with torrents of talk, which may conclude touay in an aii-aay session. mere nas oeen no lack of enthusiasm, no dearth of expressions of sympathy for the suffering younger sister in the Hindoo land. 11 il 11 - .

The impression will not down that there is a field for such activities much nearer home a field that has not been thoroughly exploited by any manner of means. It is true that conditions exactly similar do net pre vail, but there is abundant opportunity for intelli gent and well-directed energv in every large citv in the United States, where the reward in the form of improved conditions would furnish ample demon stration of the truth of the old adage that "charity begins at home."

A peniente convicted of certain crimes and can demed to "the way of the cross" has a definite fate before him. In the hidden inner room of the Hab itation are stored many crosses, some twenty feet in length with eight-foot arms. Hither the peni tente is brought by the companeros, and Brothers of Light; a cross is strapped to his back with raw hide thongs that bind his arms almost immovably and cut deep into the flesh. It drags behind him him, crunching on the stones, and he leaves the morada with his fellows, similarly burdened: under its weight he can just stagger. So they start, the group of them for the campo santo, where they will pray and flog themselves before the blood-spattered cross therein, and after make their way slow ly on to the next monada and the next, if they can hold out so long. With them are the Rezadce?, always praying: the campaneros, scourging them forward with sickening blows; the piteros, players ot the flute, whose eerie wail floats over town and lonely gulch by day and night Everybody's Mag azine lor April. j j j Unquestionably it is commendable for the wo- conditions as will relieve suffering orin l aay wayjlaattendwice latere it wm excellent.
