Home Co-operation.
THE Eugene f timers' creamory shows sales of $370,000
for the year recently closed. It shows payments of
$270,000 to farmers for inillc and cream'. Jt shows a
$26,000 payroll. This is the sort of an industry that
builds cities and their back country alike. It gives the
dairymen a homo market and pays them the top prices
for their products. It gives employment to home people,.
It is co-operative and its profits, earned here, are kept
here in Lane county.
Such enterprises as this ono and the Eugene co
operative fruitgrowers' association are the very backbone
of community progress and foremost factors in its pros
perity. They take the raw products of the surrounding
country and manufacture them and market t.heni and
the profits are kept at home. More and similar enter
prises to utilize other products of the home lands will
go farther towards promoting farmer prosperity and
sound business growth than any other ono thing that
one can think of off hand.
A Wicked Plot Defeated.
THE Klamath Falls Herald has made the remarkable
discovery that the forces which opposed George
Neuner for appointment as United Slates attorney for
Oregon were Hie die-hard "wets" and the power trust.
The Herald also informs a palpitant public that "The
state owes Senator .McNary a debt of gratitude for his
insistence upon Neuner's appointment, ' for it wn3 only
through his irrevocable determination that tho fortunate
choice was made."
Air. Ncuner has the qualifications and thecharac
ter to make a first class district, attorney, and his ap
pointment will doubtless prove acceptable to the w.hole
state. But the revelation that ho was the only lily-pure
candidato in tho field is new stuff. Apparently, if the Her
ald is correct, it was Senator MeNary's great solicitude
for universal enforcement and observance of tho pro
hibition law that prompted hi? "irrevocable determina
tion" in favor of Ncuner. Tho fact that McNary and
Ncuner were law-school cronies together and lifelong
friends since had nothing to do with il. The fact that
Bob Kuykendall, candidato against Ncuner, ,had op
posed Attorney General Van Winkle in tho last cam
paign and that Van "Winklo is another closo friend of
McNary, had nothing to do with it. No, it was Senator
MeNary's determination to defeat tho foul plot to open
up tho saloons in Oregon and turn tho state over to tho
power barons that turned tho trick for Neuner.
"Well, well, Herald, yours is tho newsiest editorial
wo remember to have read right lately.
Time was when people took a newspaper for its
political views. Nowadays they tako it for its news and
its features and its editorial excellence rather than be
cause of tho set of principles that the editor espouses.
It is a pretty narrow individual nowadays who cannot
stand to read in a newspaper somothing that is con
trary to his own views without sending in a stop order
on his subscription. Because tho newspaper-reading pub
lic is more liberal about these things than it used to be
there is less demand for moro than one newspaper in
it small community than formerly. Also tho production
of a newspaper nowadays costs so much more than it
used to do that duplication of service is being more and
more eliminated in the smaller cities and towns as a
matter of economy. An example of this tendency is the
consolidation this week of tho Albany Democrat and flic
Herald into ono newspaper. It insures the flourishing
of one daily newspaper where two had been eking a
bare existenco or less. In politics tho consolidated paper
is to bo independent, which also is in accord with an in
creasing and healthful tendency of tho times.
Senator Modill McCormick, dead nt Washington,
came of eminent family of newspaper people and was
himself an editor of more than considerable ability bo-
i'oro lie deserted tho editorial desk for a political career.
In politics ho did nothing so useful as what ho had
dono in newspaper work. In the United States senate
ho will bo remembered chiefly for his obstruction of in
ternational co-operation for the preservation of pence.
Victoria Booth-Demarest is quoted as saying at ono
of her meetings in Eugene: "When differences are for
gotten, when doctrines nro forgotten, when people begin
to lovo each other, that is tho opening wodgo of a re
vival and it can be said to be fairly under way." If she
can mako that ono teaching sink in and find acceptance
with those who hear her, the present series of meetings
will not have been in vain.
Young Mr. liuohtel of Portland has admitted re
sponsibility for just nbout all tho incendiary firoH that
have occurred sinco Nero set Komo ablaze in order to
get inspiration for bin fiddling. Ion't bo surprised if
Mr. Buohtel confesses that he and not Mrs. O'Leary's
cow started the great Chicago fire, and that ho instead
of the earthquake caused the great San Francisco conflagration.
Kugeno is to participate iu the nation-wide move
ment to give school children motion pictures of tho kind
that are wholesome ami good for them to see, at Sat
urday morning performances. ,Jt is an effort worth while.
Tho Rtate senate killed the bill to put the Btnto into
censorship of motion pictures. Jt was a good job.

When Faith Are Shattered
(New York World)
Profound drauiu arises out of the
conflict between man's fuith and cir
cumstances wlijch tend to treuk it.
A year or two ngo, for example, the
Itev. Dr. Samuel I). .McCoimell, a man
who had spent l'ifty yeurs in the Epis
copal priesthood, and then Beveuty
five years old, wrote a book, "Confes
sions of an Old Priest," in which he
said: "I have had to ask myself
whether any of these thing! are true"
referring to the faith he had
preached so long. Now the ltev. Jir.
Stuart Lawrence Tyson, a man who
has consistently maintained that
Christ'so idea of marriuge was "one
man lor one woman until death
breaks the bond of matrimony,"
brings action for divorce. What soul
searching and agony lie back of such
things as these' .Most of us cau fair
ly well imagine. Probably the deepest
part of the human struggle never gels
into the newspapers at all.

"Mrs. Quirk," the report stated,

Of Curry, the report said; "lie is

It does not state she suffers from

It does not stiito that Curry is now
on the government pay roll at $3000 a
year as the United iftntea commis

Meditation 'True repentance is not
a form or ceremony. It is a plain and
practical command to each one of us.
It involves a turning from sin and
tiie beginning of a life ot love and
service to one's fellow men; belpiug
the needy, comforting tbe sorrowful,
inspiring tbe discouraged, bruigini,
otbers to Christ. These sre some ol
the (ruits of repentance. Itcpentance
like a tree is known by its fruits.
"Wbeu you say" 'Lead us not int
temptation,' you must iu good eurnest
mean to avoid in your daily conduct
those temptations which you have il
ready suffered from. When you say
'Deliver us from evil,' you must inem)
to struggle against that evil in your
hearts, of which you are conscious
and for wiiich you pray to be forgiven.
To watch and to pray are aurely Jn
our power, and by these means we are
sure of getting strength."
Prayer God of all strength, lo ik
with thy great compassion upon our
failures. Bring good out of evil. May
tbe darkest 'of sin and mists of error
be dispelled by thy dwelling spirit. L'.'t
it be day time in our lives. Amen.
