may be termed "true religion,"
nor 13 it desired to injure the
feelings of any of our people. It
is with a view to protecting the
interests and welfare of our com
munity that we propose to touch
on a tew things. "
A couple of days ago unpleas
ant recollections were brought
to mind by the sound "of Salva
tionists' cornet and drum on our
streets. If these men have any
knowledge of the outgrowth of
former Armies in this city they
are certainly brazen in their at
tempt to again inflict themselves
upon us.
Anyone of some years resi
dence in our city knows . ' of the
. trouble that grew from a former
Array that had barricks in Cor
-vallis. They are aware of the
enenviable reputation and notor
lery that was ours because we
were the hotbed of "Holy Roller-
ism." Quiet is now ours and
peace and harmony prevails and
there is no earthly reason why
we should permit a condition of
.affairs that may again 'result in
the humiliation of our citizens
individually or collectively.
Sanity in religion is as nec

WEAKNESS OF TARIFF REFORM.
' These Massachusetts Republi
cans still call themselves Pro
tectionists and affect a fine scorn
of what they speak of ( as the
Democratic Doctrine of Free-
Trade, yet they asked for a
larger measure of Free-Trade
than'any Democrats would ' be
willing to consent to. They
want free raw materials and free
coal for their factories, and that
means f ree hides,sf ree wools, free
iron and free wood pulp.
Out in Iowa Governor Cum
mins has long been known as
favoring a measure of Tariff re
; form; but he would no doubt ob
y ject to free wool and free hides.
The West generally would ob
ject to both; but the West wants
a reduction of the duties on
manufactured goods, to which
Massachusetts would object.
The difference is this: Massa
, ehussstts wants to buy cheap wool
and hides and sell clothing and
shoes at high prices. The West
, would lik3 to sell wool and hides
at the best possible prices ' and
buy cheap tothing and shoes.
Tii3i 3 is a great variety of local
interests operating in the same
eontrary fashion all over the
country, and that is why the
Tariff reformers cannot get to
gether and why the Tariff reform
sentiment is always weaker than
it would appear to be from the
noise it makes. Nashville "Ban

OREGON MUST ADVERTISE.
We would Win Home-Seekers

Every wide-awake business
man realizes that if he has a
bargain for the public he must
let it be known and to this end
tive advertising along right lines
will do" wonders for an individual
will dowonders for an individual
and it is reasonable to presume it
will for Oregon if - rightly done.
The Telegram gives the following
interview touching this matter
and it is worthy 6f some consider
ation: - " ' '
"I think the idea of running
an excursion to California under
the' auspices of the Oregon De-
velopment League an excellent
one,' ' said t. W. Adams, Pacific
Coast agent of the Nickel Plate
line at San Francisco, while in
the city yesterday. "Californ

o
the season is earlier than usual:
as the movement generally begins
after the holidays. The Spring
and Summer business will prove
better so tar as Portland is con
cerned, aud it is a wise move for
rortiaud and Uregon to arrange
tod advertising in the East
and Southern California in order
to acquaint the prospective home-
seekers and tourists with the at
tractions ot the Pacific North
west. '
"Portland's prospects are of
the brightest, and advertising
will improve them. Take the
case otlyOS Angeles as an ex
ample. I remember, not many
years ago, when it was a smal
city, it was decided to form :
chamber of commerce. Almost
the first work done by that or
ganization :was to have cards
printed bearing a number of

"When these cards were as
sembled the reports were printed
ana thousands or ? copies were
sent East. In a short time tons
of that literature were distribut
ed. Each person receiving i
copy was asked to" write to anv c
the farmers or growers mentioned
tnerem to satisfy himself ot tb
truthfulness "of the statements
The result was a vast influx
ot
newcomers, who settled in and
about Los Anseles.' and that
is
what made the city what it is to
