THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT
WE HAVE IN HIM, THAT, IF WE
ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO
HIS WILL, HE HEARETH US.—1
John 5:11.
T H E C IR C U IT R ID E R S
Last Saturday at Salem, a
deserved tribute was paid to a
class of men, whose services in
the early development of the
state were of inestimable value,
and which have never received
sufficient recognition. T h e s e
were the old circuit riders who
traveled and blazed the trail
through primeval forests and
unbroken plains, proclaiming
the Gospel. These men kept the
religious consciousness of the
settlers alive, by which they
were prevented from sinking to
the level of the merely animal.
It is supremely true that man
does not live by bread alone, but
by every word of God, for a
man’s life does not consist in the
abundance of the things which
he possesses.
The circuit riders saved the
day from crass materialism.
They may have been illiterate
in many respects, and their the­
ology narrow, but they were
versed in the scriptures and men
of faith. It was eminently fit
ting that their memorial should
be erected in a prominent posi­
tion at the capitol of the state,
and that it should be given by
one whose father was a circuit
rider. The donor is a man of
substance, and the gift is all the
more fitting, in that it shows
that he is not unmindful of his
early teaching and training, and
that his spiritual vision has not
been eclpsed by the material
goods he has accumulated.
The memorial represents an
old circuit rider mounted on his
faithful steed, preparing to go
out on one of his itineraries, to
preach the gospel, and minister
to the sick and dying. The type
has almost vanished, and while
the ministry is more educated,
more polished, it is not more
faithful or self sacrificing. In
spite of their limitations, there
were giants in those days, and
it is doubtful whether their like
will be seen again.
The senate was rather hasty
in taking exception to the ex­
pression, “grave consequences” ,
in the protest of the Jaanese
ampassador to the exclusion bill.
The latter has subsequently ex­
plained that the words did not
imply a threat of war. It ought
to he readily seen that apart
from any likelihood of war
grave consequences might fol­
low, politically or socially ana
commercially. The matter is a
most delicate one. for while Ori­
ental exclusion is justified, yet
nothing should he done to wound
the susceptibilities of t h o s e
thereby excluded, especially of
a progressive nation likeJrpan.
We should, while certifying that
on account of the radical differ­
ence in race we must refuse them
the privilege of settlement and
citizenship, yet we can welcome 1
them as honored visitors and
guests, especially as we wish to
maintain business relations with
them.
It is all very well to keep the
home fires burning, but put out
the camp fire before leaving.

ST A T E M A R K ET AGENT

BY C. E. SPENCE, MARKET ACT.
The farmers of Oregon, and
especially those engaged in dai­
rying, should take active part in
a general movement to get the
full vote cast against the refer­
endum on the oleo law. Two
and half million pounds of Ore­
gon butter had to find an out­
side market last year—a surplus
over local demand. Two and a
half million pounds of counter­
feit butter was sold in Oregon
last year, mostly shipped in from
other states. Dairying is one of
the few lines of farming that
there is any profit in. The more
oleo shut out, the more demand
for real buttc-r. If the farmers
will all vote, the referendum will
be killed ¿and the law made ef­
fective. The matter is of ut­
most importance.
It has been printed and shown
that stoves manufactured in this
country have been shipped to
Germany, bought there by
Americans, brought back to this
country, the freight and expen­
ses of both ocean trips paid here,
and the cost was then less than
the selling price by the manu­
facturers in the city where made,

The steel trust ships millions
of tons of its products abroad
where it is sold for low prices,
yet the high price prevails in
this country.
But when the farmers sell one-
fourth of their wheat crop, the
surplus, abroad at low prices,
these prices make the market
for the 800,000,000 bushels that
are sold and consumed at home.
The reason why agriculture
has to stand for this disadvant­
age is because agriculture is not
organized, while the manufac­
turers are tightly combined. If
the wheat farmers of the nation
were as solidly organized as the
manufacturers,. and the bulk ot
the wheat was handled in one
great marketing association, they
could sell their surplus cheaply
abroad and yet get profit prices
on the home sales.
It is often pointed out that
shoes are on the free list, yet
regardless of protection the pri­
ces remain high in this country.
But it is NOT pointed out that
the manufacturers own the ma­
chines very largely in the for­
eign countries, also many of the
foreign factories, and that in re­
ality they benefit by making the
shoes cheaper abroad than here
and there is no tariff obstruc­
tion against bringing them in.
in general, but that high wages,
high machinery costs and diffi­
cult credits will not permit ex­
pansion.
Spring wheat will be reduced
about 14 per cent; corn produc­
tion will be increased, but on ac­
count of the serious condition of
the cattle and hog industries
there is not a demand for the in­
crease; the swine industry is
most discouraging, drastic reduc­
tion in breeding has resulted
which may later result in a
shortage; The dairy industry
has expanded to where milk pro­
duction slightly exceeds the do­
mestic demand, foreign surplus
production is also increasing,
and the department suggests
that further expansion is not
warranted. It points out that
18.000. 000 pounds of butter and
40.000. 000 pounds of cheese were
imported last year.
The wool industry is reported
as distinctly favorable and an
advance in production is war­
ranted. Of potatoes the depart­
ment says these states will not
increase their acreage: New Jer­
sey, Maryland, Indiana, Michi­
gan, Wisconson, Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Montana,
Colorada, New Mexico, Utah,
Idaho, Washington and Ooegon.
All other states will increase
their acreage.
