As will be seen by a notice pub
lished elsewhere in this issue o f
the Graphic, season tickets for
the lyceum for the coming year
are now Qn sale. The course o f
six numbers affords an oppor
tunity for obtaining wholesome
entertainment during the season
at a nominal cost.
The people o f Oregon are look*,
ing to the Democracy ol the state
for the right kind o f a governor
and the failure o f the rank and
file to nominate that kind of a
man will most assuredly mean
defeat.—Albany Democrat*-
On, we don’t know. The Dem
ocratic party has been able to
pull through and elect some very
ordinary men for governor in the
past.

I# will be well for the boys and
men ab ou t tow n to take note o f
the follow in g clause o f the game
law and govern themselves ac
cordingly: All wild birds and
animals within the corporate
limits of any city or town, or in
any public park, cemetery, or on
the campus or grounds o f any
public school, college or univer
sity, or any National watershed,
bird or game reservation are
protected at all seasons by the
laws of the state o f Oregon. The
penalty for violation o f this sec
tion of the law is a fine o f $25 to

Men and women who do not
w ant their children to begin the
school day by listening to the
reading o f a book that because
of its intrinsic sweetness aad
purity has b een venerated
through centuries o f changing
beliefs are narrow indeed./ The
Bible itself is a rebuke to their
silly and restricted view. Its
teachings are so broad and so
fundamental that people of all
races and all shades o f religious
conviction have found comfort
and solace in them. As a liter
ary masterpiece and a text-book
on clean and moral living the
Bible has never been surpassed.
With no small profit it might be
read more widely in the schools,
even if its reading excluded some
-other things.—Oregon Journal.
land is the only important city
in the state, and hence the center
o f the civic, financial, political,
educational and religious ac
tivities of the commonwealth,
must be made the excuse for the
interest which the whole people
have taken in the decision o f the
Portland School4toard upon the
restoration o f the Bible to the
public schools. The Oregonian
this morning announces that the
board has unanimously barred
the book, a result which was o f
course expected, but which is not
likely to be accepted as final by
those men and women who be
lieve that religious teaching is
the prime essential o i education,
if our civilization is to endure.
* Jew and Mohammedan, Cat
holic and Protestant, Unitarian
and Trinitarian, must agree that
for some reason there has been a
remarkable decline in moral
sentiment since the days have
ceased when a chapter o f the
holy writ was presented from
the teacher’s desk each morning
as the, school opened. The argu
ment that religious teaching is a
personal matter, and should be
inculcated in the home may be
theoretically porreet, but it fails
woefully in results. Men seem
to have forgotten the negatives
of the 10 commandments. Is it
because they are not acquainted
with the great moral law o f the
ages? And if so, then is it not
the duty of the state to teach the
children their existence and sig
nification?
The Congress of
Religions at the World’s Fair in
Chicago was able to unite upon
the decalogue, and there were
represented all the great religions
o f the globe.
It is a strange condition of
pub'ic sentiment when mighty
organisations of men conduct a
ceaseless battle against the social
evil and the saloon, both but
external manifestations of a mis
taken social policy, and ignore
the almost universal practice o f
profane swearing, always an
indication ol either moral de
generacy or fgn prance o f the
moral law, for the Master said:
“ I come not to destroy the law,
but to fulfill it,” and the central
column of the decalogic edifice is
in the injunction: “ Thou shalt
not take the name o f the Lord,
thy God. in vain, for the Lord
will not hold him guiltless who
taketh his name in vain.” With
that commandment destroyed
the remaining nine are in jeo
pardy.
The public school will never
perform its duty to the citizen
ship o f the Republic until the 10
commandments, the golden rule
and the sermon on the mount,
are restored to the school cur
riculum, through impressive ser
vices as the day opens, and the
minds o f children are fresh and
plastic.
Some one said to the distin
guished statesman and jurist of
Pennsylvania, Judge Jeremiah
Black, shortly before his death:
“Judge Black, have you not
noticed in recent years, a ten
dency toward more liberal ideas
in religious matters, a decreasing
acceptance o f the truths o f the
Bible?” “ Yes,” said the Judge,
and I have noticed that along
with that tendency has gone that
nice distinction between right
and wrong which characterized
the fathers.” An analysis by
school officials of the mind-atti
tude o f our school children and
of those who have graduated
since the Bible disappeared from
the schools, might change their
views upon the question which
your board has not solved, bat
avoided.
Stephen A. Lowell.
As to the origin o f the fire that
resulted in heavy loss of property
on Friday-night o f last week, the
public is in the da(k, but the sup
position is that cigarettes, with
a mixture ol booze, were at ‘ th^
bottom o f it. Parties who are
accustomed to*passing up North
College street on the way home
at night say that it has been a
common thing, at a glance up
the alley, to see a bunch o f fel
lows congregated there smokiag
and carousing. It is not at all
unlikely that some o f the fellows
who have been making that a
place of resort could make a
good guess as to how the fire
started if they cared to d o so. It
has been stated that the first
ones to see the fire were a group
of boys playing cards under the
awning at Van Blaricom’ s store.
Taken altogether it is apparent
that Newberg needs to have a
' clean-up day at night—and lor
several nights.

The following communication
written by Judge Stephen A.
Lowell, o f Pendleton, to the Ore
gonian, gives some unanswerable
argument why the Bible should
be read in the public schools:
Pendleton, Or., Sept. 24.—(T o
the Editor.)—The fart that Port*
THE
FUEL.
COMING
If Senator Lane can bring
about an amendment o f the
denatured alcohol law which
will permit every farmer to pro
duce his own ftiel from the waste
products of his own farm, he will
confer a boon which will revolu
tionize not only the farming but
the automobile industry says the
Oregonian. The greatest need
of the day is a cheap substitute
for gasoline. Ui*e o f that once-
despised by-product ofpetroleum
has so immensely increased with
the use o f automobiles that it
has now become the chief prod
uct and kerosene is the by-prod
uct. The price o f gasoline has
risen to such a figure as to be a
serious consideration to owners
o f automobiles and an objection
to their purchase. Search is be
ing made for a substitute and
the S«»ciety o f M otor Manufac
turers and Traders o f London
has offered a prize of $10,000 for
a new fuel.
When the ptesent denatured
alcohol law was passed, we were
promised a fuel which could be
manufactured on every farm at
a cost of a few cents a gallon
from farm waste. But Congress
was then under the control o f
men who were adepts in the art
ot appearing to d o something for
the people while they actually
guarded the interests o f the
trusts. They hedged about the
manufacture o f d e n a t u r e d
alcohol with restrictions which
rendered an investment o f $12,-
000 to $20,000 necessary. Even
with these restrictions denatured
alcohol has been put on the
market at half the price which
was previously paid for wood
alcohol. But the Oregon Sena
tor estimates that it can be made
from waste products on every
farm with a still costing about
$2.50 and can then be taken to
a central plant to be decentral
ized. The residue of the distillate
is also valuable as a fertilizer.
Automobiles are no longer rich
men’s carriages. They are be
ing sold at figures which place
them within the reach o f the
masses and are becoming indis
pensable in business. Cost o f
the machine is no longer the first
consideration with intending
purchasers; fuel cost is the prob
lem. As automobiles come into
more general use, the price of
gasoline rises and it may soon
overtake alcohol. If every farm?
er could make his own alcohol at
slight cost out o f material which
is now worthless he need no
longer hesitate to buy an auto
mobile. The engines could be
adopted to the use o f the new
fuel, which is safer and more de-:
pendable in cold weather.
SUPREME COURT DECISION ON
PAPERS AND SUBSCRIBERS
The supreme court ot the
United States recently made a
ruling which in substance makes
the subscriber who takes his
paper out of the postoffice and
refuses to pay the subscription,
guilty of felony and liable to
arrest as any other who de
frauds. The following is a
synopsis of the United States
supreme court decision regard
ing delinquent subscripton:
1. Subscribers who do not
give express notice to the con
trary are considered as wishing
to renew their subscription.
2. Subscribers ordering the
discontinuance o f their periodical
the publisher may continue to
send bill until all arrears are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or
refuse to take their periodical
from the postoffice, they are
responsible until they settle their
bill and order their paper discon
tinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the
publisher and any papers are
sent to the former address, sub
scribers are responsible.
5. Courts have decided that
refusing periodicals from the
office or moving and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence ot intention to defraud.
6. If subscribers pay in ad
vance they are bound to give
notice at the end o f time it they
do not want to continue taking
it, otherwise the publisher is
authorized to send it and the
subscriber will be responsible un
til an express notice with pay
ment is sent to publisher.
