The discussion, however in its many ramifica
tions, failed to take in this one thing; during the
last few months in practically every election those
candidates who were classed as ”wet”, have been
most decisively defeated. In California rcCntly, the
only candidate for Governor out of a field of five re
publicans, who was an avowed^ light pine and ixjer
advocate, received out of the more than one half mil
lion votes cast, a little more than 5000. In our own
state, we have a glaring example o( the peoples
distate for violators of the amendrnnt whep the re
publicans refused to nominate probably as ablp a
senatorial representative, as Oregon has ever had.
In the eastern states dry congressional representa
tives have defeated dry incumbents, but the wets
have received little consolation, in the progress made
by their candidates./
The results of this fall’s elections are signific
ant. They clearly Indicate that while a man will
lean so* far towardsthe side of hypocrasy, as to have
a favorite bootlegger, or maybe keep a bottle of good
liquor in the house for state occasions, yet, when he
is alone in the voting booth, he has little hesitancy
in showing his oppositioirtb tiiags-jgho would defeat'
prohibition. As long as the majority of people take
that attitude there is little to fear for the safety of
the Eighteenth Amendment. Years will pass before
liquor Is completely under control. But with a new
generation coming on, and tjie present one continu
ing to show their lack of appreciation for those who
would change the dry laws, proliibition enthusiasts
have every right to feel that they are on the winning
side.
“DIVDW 00HTS8T”
A speaker the other day declared that the reason
many small towns remain small, is that the people
are too contented. There is perhaps more to that ex
planation than appears on the surface. From time
immemorial poets, philosophers, snd the good book
itself have hymned the blessings of contentment.
These blessings are doubtless very real, but the
trouble with contentment, as the boy said about being
nice to his little sister is that “ it don’t git you
nothin”.
If the cave man had been entirely content to pack
his game on his back and the cave woman to carry
water on her head, not a wheel would be taming
today.- If onr forefathers had been satisfied with the
ox cart, there would never have beep a railroad, nor
an automobile, nor an airplape. Had Columbus been

America might still he a wilderness the home of

Most people — even believers in the heneficient
powers of science — would; perforce, have ^¡een cop-
tent With a Vÿ^it tp the family doctor or tlie home

within the range of possibilities, would have caught
the regular f i o ’clock local north. But not the Rev.
Sunday. Hastily laying back in his trunk the next
sermon on ‘‘TheH ellish Influence of the Occult” , he
ordered a private car and had it hooked to the first
rattler that passed that Way. (Trains, Mr. Sunday
says, will stop for him at any place and at any time
he desired,* this being a pp.re' compliment .invariably
paid‘him by railroad exécutives.)
Tears were in his eyes as he told the reporters
at »Chicago: “ The Lopd has never gone back on me
yet an<Î I know.He wont now”, which apparently, He
did not. But tthe.Rev. Mr. Sunday went on to Roches

with the results of the unprecedented progress of the

before the wizardry pf fasteur, the achievements of

Where, in short, ’Almighty God performs many wond
