A Mr. Maltman Barrie, a mem ber of the established Church of Scotland, recently in an English publication, denounces the claim of any parent to impart religious training and creedal teaching to his children. He admits it is the duty of a parent to provide for thj physical and mental welfare of his child, and that such duty is rightfully enforced by laws; here, however, the law stops, and the religious training of the child is left altogether in the hands of the parent. The par ent proceeds to impose his own religious creed upon the child, and thus interposes the greatest obstacle in the path of the child when it becomes a searcher after religious truth. Mr. Barrie would prevent this by preserving religious liberty for children that is by giving them no religious training what ever. He would require parents to teach their children that two tri angles having two sides and the included angle of one equal to two sides and the included angle of the other are equal and their third sides are equal, but when these children come ask ing, "What is God? What is sin? What is heaven? If we die shall we live again?" the parent must say, "Go away, children; find out these things for yourselves." The parent may believe in the Divine entity, but he must not teach his child this for it might so bias him that he could never accept Pantheism. He may be lieve that an infraction of divine 1 tw is sin, but he must not teach his daughter so lest it become an obstacle to her accepting some sort of religion that teaches there is no sin. The truths of science, the theories of scientific philosophy should be taught, but whatever of religious truth the parent has gained, even though he can demonstrate it as clearly as a problem in Euclid, must be with held. The child must gain these through his own unaided efforts. It is not probable parents will accept Barrie 's theories. In the whole history of the race parents have inculcated upon their chil dren a belief in those things which they themselves hold true. It is by this means chiefly that men have gained knowledge of truth. Each generation has transmitted to the succeeding generation whatever it has held to be true. What if error as well as truth has baen so trans mitted? The duty yet remains to each generation of men to separate error and truth and to hand down the truth. Men apprehend religious truths more slowly than any other sort; of truth, but it is yet true that through the ages he has master ed much of truth in the domain of religion. Creedal statement of such trut hs has been their i ' 4. t-: greiiu const" i v atui. oiuueuuiv:, possibly, men will cast as;dc r t . .i ' G AO EE LEY Pres. v J. TCRESON V. Pres. 1 D. Arnold mere audiaphora the non-esser, tials of creed, and unite ou the great fundamental truths of reli gion; but until then, much as we may deplore it, we shall have diversity of creeds, nor would Barrie's theory change this con dition. After all creedal ... teaching is safer than no authorative in struction. We cannot believe that children carefully taught to believe the creed of the Roman Catholic, the Presbyterian or the Methodist parent are likely to become Holy Rollers- GOOD MANNERS. It is hardly necessary to ex press the opinion that if the ghosts of our ancestors were to walk the earth today they would be shocked in many ways. If we shall judge the progress of the world by the manners of its people, it is not very apparent that we are even holding our own. Time was when good breeding was considered of some consequence in the world, and the manners of a person, in pub lic and private, was indicative of his breeding. Perhaps in the matter of manners would the "shades" of our fathers and mothers receive the greatest shock. Today the majority of parents seem to be sadly remiss in teach ing their children good manners. Nor does the lack of courtesy, good address, and the many little indefinable qualities which indi cate culture in the rearing apply to children alone we see it in young men and women who have outgrown parental restraint, sad to relate. There is a tendency to unnecessary noise, loud, slangy talk and general boisterousness on every hand, and were one to com pare present-day manners wich what we have been taught was acceptable as politeness by our forefathers the result would not be flattering to many who fancy themselves well-bred. We all recognize a good-mannered young man or woman the actions of an ill-bred person also attract attention, but receive no approval- It seems too many are getting up in the world as "Topsy" did, and she "just growed." LIAR. In the not very remote past if one man desired to insult another sufficiently to engage him in combat it was only nec essary for him to apply the term of "liar." To be called a liar was to have your veracity as sailed, and no gentleman would submit to such an insult we re fer to past generations. It is different today. Moreover, the word "liar" seems not to mean what it used to. By many men of today it is not considered an insult to ba called a liar it is a sort of joke not meant to be taken seriously. It is not unusual to hear men ap ply this term, or worse ones, to their fellows. Strange to say, no offense seems to be taken. :Ien are changing, or else they silently a-jree on a different de finition for the word "liar" than was accepted by a gentleman of fifty years ago Surely the world moves and time brings many changes. At the pace we are going who can foretell what qualities will be sec & Treas.

It looks as though social customs would so change that a century hence "liar', would be an acceptable term of endearment. Additional Local. There will be communion service at Plymouth at 3 o'clock. ' - J. E. Johnson of Wrenn was in Cer vallie yesterday after a supply of binder twine.' Mr. and Mr3. Grover Headrick arrived borne the first of the week from an out ine in Alsea. Miss Frances Belknap arrived home Wednesday from a visit with Piot. and Mrs. MeElfresh, in Salem. Mrs, M. P.Burnett reached borne Wednesday evening after a two month vioit with Baker City relatives. H. G. Witham Bold a magnificent span of horses a couple of days ago, for whith he received the fancy price of $500. Rev. F. E. Bellinger, of Cottage Grove, secretary of the Oregon Christian Mit sionaiy Convention, will speak at the Christian church Sunday, morning and evening, Work was resumed yesteraay on the new .office that the Willamette Valley Company ia building in this city for their agent, Guy Olark. Operations had been delayed for sometime, but the work will now be rushed to completion. Cari L. Albrecht and Peter Loguie, of Coos Bay, were in this city yesterday in the iuteiest of the harbor at that point. At present they have 22 feet of water on the bar at low tide, but desire to have the government increase it to 40 feet. Miss Myrtle DeHaven returned a few days ago from St. Johns, where 8he has been in charge of the laundry. Her father, Oscar DeHaven, who resides nea Corvallis, has purchased the laundry at Dallas, and the family expect to move to that city next week. . Congregational church : Sunday school at 10; worship and sermon at 11; Chris tian Endeavor at 7; vesper and sermon at 8. Morning sermon, "A Study of Facts The Face of the Christ." Even ing sermon, "The Great a ad Lasting Need of This World." C. H. Abercrombie states that not long ago it rained 137 inches in 25 minutes in Iowa, and cites a paper from there as his authority. This is some rain. As a matter of fact, Mr. Abercrombie must have overlooked a decimal point, for un doubtedly the figures must have been 1.37. liven this-would have been ter rific. A letter from "Camp Denmau" over in Alsea states that the Superintendent is industriously following the example of the little busy bee, and instead of loung ing about in .the shade, w engaged in gathering wild raspberries and black berries for winder use. He j-tates that their r plei-ty of the former but the latter, as is the chss around Corvaili-, aie very scarce. The Columbia VUogiaph Co., with iU fln $3,0i)0 Eilieoa ma :hin?, will give, as the Corvallia Opera House this, Friday evening,.ar exhibition of moving pictures depicting the great San Francisco disas ter. The manager assures the public that the exhibition is first-class in every detail, and far superior to anything' in this line seen here in the past. News papers in near-by towns praise the com pany. These are dull days over at the county court house as well as elsewhere about town. People are apparently too busy to tile deeds, make their wills, sue their neighbors for sland3r or do much of any thing else to make times busy for the of ficials. About the only item to be se cured Wednesday under the big clock, was the issuing of a hunter's license to J. A. Archibald. This makes 104 licen ses of the sort issued in 19U6. A SfRttle dispatch of Tuesday savs: Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh this morning :ave out the statement that he would insist on Esther Mitchell R"d Mrs. Maud Oreffictld being brought to trial fnr the mutder of George Mitchell. Mr. Macintosh will opooae auy atte npt to call a commission to exanino into the menial condition of the women, but ad mits that he i annot prevent it under the law. The Prosecuting Attorney holds, however, that und-r a rudng of the State Supreme Court the result of the commis sion will be no bar to a criminal prosecution. $ 10,000 Capiat Stock Paid fcr Butter Fat. - ; FIRED AT RANDOM. "Holly Roller" is the name of a candy offered for sale by local dealers. It is doubtless a seductive confection. Corvallis ia afflicted with too many men who bit in the shade and wont'e wbat the future of the town will be. Corvallis had a "cleaning-up day," but the odoriferous distinctiveness of some spots suggests that the work was net well done. ' A Portland pulpiteer wants a curb' put on the teaching of "fanatical religions." But wbo is qualified to act as a judge in the matter? It took just two weeks for Bryan's mouth to talk its owner out of the "con. servative class," into which he had been placed by some deluded "safe and sane" democrats. In view of the means adopted by tip plers to get "family disturbance" in a prohibition town, a placard leading, "No packages delivered to minors," is sug gested for display in express office?. Statistics show that it costs the old established churches about $200 to con vert a $2 man with a soul no larger than a pea. And then to think this measly "brand snatched fiom the burning" is quite likely to bacKslide ! Russell Sage's widow planted the "deer departed" in a chilled steel, burglar proof comn costing $22,000. If "Uncle Kuss" could hear down there of that ex penditure his ghost, would come back and haunt his relict as a punishment for such reckless extravagance. The decision declaring unconstitutional the law exempting 9300 in personal prop erty from taxation falls heavily on the poor, it is announced. Can anyone re call a time in any country when the poor did not bear the burden of more than their just share of the taxes? What has become of the good, old fashioned girl who thought it wrong to use slanp, blushed rosy when paid a de served compliment, talked in a well modulated voice, and avoided the public spot-light as a pestilence ? It would be refreshing to meet one of her kind again. The democratic wheel has been given another whirl and this time the finger points to Willie Hearst as the presiden tial nominee. Poor old democracy ! It's a choice of two men only one a dis credited and repudiated jawsmitb, the other a mountebank who smirks and bows to the public from the reflected light of hired brains.

A great many Americans, both men and women, are thin, pale and puny, with poor circulation, because they have ill treated their stomachs by hasty eating or too much eating, by consuming alco holic beverages, or by too close confine ment to home, office or factory, and in consequence the stomach must be treated in a natural way before they can rectify their earlier mistakes. The muscles In many such people, in fact in every weary, thin and thin-blooded person, do their work with great difficulty. As a result fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts long. The demand for nutritive aid is ahead of the supply. To insure perfect health every tissue, bone, nerve and muscle should talf from the blood cer tain materials and return to it certain others. It is necessary to prepare the stomach for the work of taking up from the food what is necessary to make good, rich, red blood. We must go to Nature for the remedy. There were certain roots known to tho Indians of this country before tho advent of tho whites which later carao to the knowledge of tho settlers and which aro now growing rapidly in professional favor for tho euro of obstinate stomach and liver troubles. .These iiro found to bo safe and yet cer tain in their cleansing and invigorating c:Tnct upon the stomach, liver and blood. Thooo arc: Golden Goal root, Queen's root, Stono root, Blocdroot. Mandrake root. Then there is Black Cherry bark The medicinal princ:p!rr. rrrifMn in theso native roots when extracted with glyc erine as a solvent make the most reliable and efficient stomach tonic and liver in vigorator, when combined in just the right proportions, as in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Where there is bankrupt vitality such as nervous exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin blood, thn body acquires vigor and the nerves, blood and all the tissues feel tho favorable effect of this sovereign remedy. Although some physicians have been aware of the high medicinal value of the above mentioned plants, yet few have user, pure glycerine as a solvent, and usually the doctors' prescriptions called for the ingredients in varying amounts, with alcohol. The "Golden Medical Discovery" is a scientific preparation componnded of the glyceric extracts of the above mentioned vegetable ingredients and contains no alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.
