PURE NONSENSE. To our mind the discussion of Statement No. 1 at this time by republicans is pure nonsense when so many questions of vital importance demand our atten the wisdom of a repub lican legislature this child was conceived and if an unhealthy offspring its parents will be called upon to care for it at the next '. session of the legislature. If a mother, by some myste rious mis-direction of nature, brings to light a deformed off spring, in the very nature of her mother love she quietly hides it as much as possible from ' public gaze, and lavishly looks after its wants to make life as comforta ble as possible. If an unruly child, she never takes it on the front porch to spank it and thus become the laughing stock oi ner neighbors. Why should we give ourselves any uneasiness about Statement No. 1 when we have a clear re publican majority of from 15,000 to 20,000 in the state of Oregon who are as anxious to walk up to the polls to-day and vote the re publican ticket as they ever were if we would lay aside the weight of sins that doth so easily beset us and give them a ticket worthy of support. We cannot deny the fact that t he lukewarm'condition of many trood. true republicans in the state of Orepon to-day is due to crookedness and general cussed ness of some of the leaders of nnr nartv who care nothing for party principles and the welfare of the masses, but are ruiea ana controlled, body, mind and soul hv selfishness and greed. When a man. claiming to be a republi can, will make a speech, at this time, declaring he will support no man for office who is in favor of Statement No. 1" it creates, in our mind, a breath of suspicion that he trailed with Mitchell m balmy days and lost sight of the nrinciDles of the repubhcanparty This is neither the time nor place for the discussion of this Question which, in any event, can cut no figure in the primaries, and causes strife and bitterness in our ranks while our democratic brethren are sweetly smiling to see us scraDDing over it. The Question of vital import ance to the voter in the ranks is, who is the best, and purest man in the reDubhcan party to lead us tn victory at the polls. We should, at this time, simply dis cuss the merits and qualifications of the gentlemen now belore us and if not to the liking of the masses of our party, we should eo out into the by-ways and hedges and find a Moses who would lead us into higher, purer and cleaner politisal life than the record of the past can show We need a few Maj. Warner's who. when a few years ago the masses of the republicans of Mis souri demanded as a candidate DerhaDs for the Senate, was op posed by what was known as the "Filley Ring," and seeing he could not command their support, and thus unite warring elements, with heart overflowing with grat itude to his friends, arose in his seat and said "However much I may appreciate the honor you would confer upon me, yet to me harmony in the republican party is morLto be desired than the success of Maj. Warner." That sneech. with its patriotic devotion to party principle, set the repub lican party of Missouri on fireand continued to be the watch- word until it softened the stony hearts of Filley and his friends, wiped out the 40,000 democratic major ity and landei Major Warner in the Senate where he stands to- i dv as a miehtv power for good, a credit to his state and an nonor to his party. Pardon the digres sion when we say we need more such men in the Senate to purify the atmosphere around Washing ton There are seats in that au gust body which have been held that should be thor- i oughly fumigated before being nied bv men of moral char after, and we honestly admit that some of these men belong to r.hp republican Darty Give us a candidate tot- Sena tor whose private character is ahove reDroach ability unques tioned, and we need have no fear - t . . . T 4 ftf statement o. x. n ; We dare not trust to our demo pratie brethren for a Senator from timber now in sight. In tha lio-hr. of nast history, "to wine and dine with that bimcb" would be a greater temptation - than ne could stand A COMMISSION. A Tariff Commission will prob ably be created at the present session of congress to which tar iff revision and legislation will be referred for consideration and recommendation. Th creation of such a commis sion has been discussed pro and con for many years, but the measure has never been regarded with enough favor to cause its adoption. The President tavors such a commission and has rec ommended its creation to con gress : a number of large and in- flnpntial organizations lavor it and will urge it. if possible, to favorable congressional action, so it is highly probable we snail have another commission added to bur already rather complica ted governmental machinery. The mam purpose Dacs ol una movement is to lift the whole subject of tariff legislation out ot the field of partisanship and place it on the plane of Political Economics where it properly De- longs. This is a most commend able purpose. We never can have the most beneficial legislation on this subject until we do treat it on its merits as one belonging to the domain of practical Political Science. Tt. is not Dlain, however, that w oan aficomnlish this through the agency of a Special commis sion. Such a commission couia not be clothed with powers of legislation. It could enact notn- ing. It COUld Only Study, exam ine, formulate its opinions and (inclusions and report them to ... congress. These mignt not De unanimous and thus the whole discussion of the questions before the commission would be precip itated UDon the law-making body This would be no advance De von d the nresent method of pro cedure whereby proposed tariff legislation is referred to the com mittee on Ways and Means, usu ally, where all propositions are considered and a bill formed and reported to congress for con- ' mi . sideration and enactment, inis committee is composed, in the main, of able, painstaking and honest men. He is practically non par tisan, and deserves the confi dence usually reposed in tne wis dom of its recommendations. Any one who has ever been be fore it in behalf of some interest touched by proposed tariff legis lation knows how thoroughly and earnestly and equitably it pushes its innuiries. No more equitable and prac tical tariff legislation was ever given to the country than tne present law. That it became a dozen years old betore it snowea a few gray hairs proves the wise care with which it was trameo. No commission possible to cre ate could reach better results. Besides government by com mission is abhorrent to our peo ple and is discredited from the start. Notwithstanding all this it seems that we shall be given a lot more tentative legislation. A BETTER GAIN. w.iiaMe aad authoritative statistics have been published which show tne gam maae m membership, churches aad minis ters in the United States by the churches for the year 1907. ;; ;The aggregate net gams were 027,543 members, 4,215 cuui-u,iiu 2,300 ministers, in memoersaip l,A ministers the gain has been mnnh less than tor any one or three preceding years. The greatest, gain is m . mc b-ouwu Catholic Church,1 ,wbich reports a gain of 306,000. - xne aiemoa ist Church, in all its oraches, re ports a net gain of 101,696. Of 154 religious Doaies emoiatcu m the report the total membership is 33,355,610. This would indi cate that two-fifths or 49 per cent of onr people are professed chris tians.

The causes for this are being sought out bv churchmen who will re move, them, at least so tar as they exist within the cnurca useu. Outside of the church its numer ical growtn or lack of it is not a matter tor great concern. A A. M. What is ot greater interest to non-cburchman is the rapid and wide-sDread diffusion of christian f H 1 rc arm ideals. This has raii1 and embraced the churches, has forced them to mod ify or abandon their ecclisiasti rism. to come into greater har monv and to strive in more per fprt unitv to induce men to accept and practice christian ethics and follow close after christian ideals.
