CANNOT BE DONE It may be matter for regret that men cannot be reformed, made good by legal enactment. It would be a far more expedi tious and less expensive way. The few. the elect few might then frame a law and the su preme power in the state would then approve and publish it and, presto! all men are good. Men with a half-hearted purpose of reformation might join in a peti tion to "the powers that be," the powers which, St. Paul says, "are ordained of God," for the enactment of a law which would, in spite of their weak purpose; at once transform them, fit them for the kingdom of heaven . Away back in their history men tried this plan but it was a failure. It has been tried again and again but has always ended in a failure. It is being tried in many places at present but evi dsnces multiply that, as ever heretofore, it is a dismal failure- The plan is man's plan, not . nature's or God's if you will, and for that reason alone it must fail. The only successful way to reform men, to lift them up to higher levels of life, thought, purpose and action must be fitted to and directed upon the indi viduals. It is slow, wearisome work, re quiring the cooperation of the individuals. In truth a man's j reformation must be largely his own work. Friends may sym pathize with him because of his ' struggles, and failures, but they can do little more. He may have to go, with aching limbs and bruised, bleeding feet along thorny paths, but he must go alone. It is Nature's decree that it must be so, and who shall say it is not better so? We do men wrong, weaken rather than awaken and develop their manhood when we have them hope for reform through the agency of legislative enactment. But why should men, whether few or many, need moral renova tion at all? May it not be that our whole system of training dunnsr childhood ana youth is essentially wrong? It surpasses belief that children who are rightly trained should grow up to become men or women who must then be given a reform' utive training to fit them for life and enable them to achieve its grand possibilites. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." This training or educational work must begin with the child in the cradle. Some of it, indeed, should be pre-natal. It must develop courage, charity, un selfishness, love of truth, horror of dissimulation, scorn for hypo cr sy and ultimately manly or womanly independence, self reliance and personal accounta bility for their actions. If these and kindred characteristics are developed in the child we shall have men who, in the day of trial or temptation, shall stand firmly and, with upraised head and flashing eyes say, "I will not! I am a man." No law save that of early right training will produce men' and women of whom it may be said they are made "a little lower than the angels." UNFINISHED WORK. When Corvallis voted for a "dry" town it was believed by many that a long stride had been takon toward protecting young men from the temptations to inebriety and immorality presented by the saloons. It was even asserted that old chronics would have more than a fighting chance to brace up and become sober, useful citizens. It is possible prohibition has been a help in both these direc tions, but it has not done the whole work. Before temptation is eliminated from the path of young men, before the chronic is saved from his long fixed habit something else must be done. As yet prohibition does not pro hibit. No one charges that the law is not really and truly a pro hibition law. No one believes the law is not honestly and faith fully enforced by those charged with its enforcement, yet it does not prohibit. If any doubt this let him put his observation glasses on and move around for a few days and evenings. He will probably see no . liquor of any kind whatever, nor even see a single person going through the motions of drinking, but he can hardly fail to see young men, some of whom are beardless boys who certainly are yet minors, in a state of maudlin inebriety. He will also see old chronics "mellow and happy." It is quite certain that the most honest believer in prohibition who will do as sug gested will admit that prohibiton does not prohibit- What must be done? Shall the saloon be re stored? Surely not;' Can : the law be more strictly enforced? We think not. Yet it remains that something more is necessary to reach the ends to which, it was alleged the law would carry us- The law was set in operation in this city largely through the efforts of the churches here and it may well be assumed that they will not give over their efforts to accomplish the things which the majority of us hoped might be compassed by the prohibition law. Since it is evident the law must be supplemented by some other instrumentalites it is prob ably the churches may supply them. True, we have not learn ed that there is any effort making to that end, but as there are quite a dozen different sects in Corval lis all engaged more or less ac tively in the work of saving men it is a fair presumption that such efforts will be made. Earnest, patient, persistent work may be required, but the good shepherd never ceases his efforts until the last wandering sheep is sate within the fold. So, brethern, because these wandering ones will not go to you to be saved, you must carry salvation to them. The Chinese Varnish Made to Walk Upon t 'MADE IN ALL COLORS" ' Cherry. Mahogany. Oak.

Strike the wood sample a heavy blow with a hsniaer, and note that while the wood may be indented a quarter of an inch, the varnish has cot marred or cracked. This provestbat Chi-Namel is very elastic. Second. Place the wood sample in a tea kettle, and note that boiling water does not turn it white. This proves that Chi-namel contains no rosin. Third. Apply whiskey. This proves that Chi-Namel will stand upon bar tops. Fourth. Allow a can of the varnish to stand opn over night, and note that tharc is no evaporation. This proves that Chi-Namel contains no benzine. Fifth. Spread varnish over fiat sur face, and brush in every direction, and note "self levelling" effect. This proves that all brush marks disappear, and tha result will be pleasing no matter how inexperienced the applier may be. - Old doors can be made to look like new hard wood..
