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.

Come to our store and get a sam
ple of Chi-Naiael applied to
wood. Take it home and test it
First. 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. -
