YEARLY MEETING
CLOSED TUESDAY
The Attendance W at the Largest
It Has Been F or Many
Years
On account of the agitation
throughout tha past year by a radi­
cal .element In the church of a Tory
vital question, the attendance at the
annual meeting of the Friends
church In the Northwest held here,
was the largest It has been for many
years. _ r '
la st year a proposal came from
Salem quarterly meeting to with­
draw from the Five Years Meeting,
which meets at Richmond, Indiana,
and which is made up of a union of
the Yearly Meetings In the United
8tates except Ohio and Baltimore,
these two never having Joined in
the union. The matter was laid
over for one year and when it came
up on Thursday it was decided to
make it a special order of business
for Friday afternoon. At this time
the reports from the different quar­
terly meetings were read. Two, Sa­
lem and Portland, reported In favor
of withdrawal and Newberg and
Boise Valley, Idaho, In favor or re­
maining In the Five Years Meeting,
the latter with certain reservations.
After spending some three hours In
discussing the question and after
votes had been taken on various
propositions, the one made by Idaho
was carried by a vote of 155 to 137.
It Is agFeed in the proposition to re­
main with the larger body at least
until 1923, but it carries with it
resolutions
calling
for
certain
changes in thé policies of the latter.
The more radical ones among the
contenders
have
threatened
to
withdraw and form a - new Yearly
Meeting, but what they will do re­
mains to he- seen. •
Before the dlacnaslôn on this
question began. Rev. J. Clarkson
Hlnshaw, the evangelistic superin­
tendent. made a very comprehensive
report in which he showed by a map
he had prepared, the territory now
occupied in the Northwest by the
church and also showing what he
thought might be accomplished In
the way of church extension by vig­
orous, co-operative • work. Appreci­
ation of the work he has done dur­
ing the past year was shown by his
election to the same position for
next year.
The evangelistic services each
evening were conducted by Rev.
Wm. Kirby, of Des Moines, Iowa,
and well attended. Mr. Kirby is a
forceful platform speaker and easily
holds the attention of an audience.
Emory ,J. Rees And Austin and
Blanche Connover, who are home
from South Africa where they spent
a number of years in missionary
work, always had very attentive
hearers when they told of their
work. They are taking a needed
furlough and expect to return to
that field In the course of time. In
the interval they are being used by
the Duaid uf Foreign Missions in
going about, telling of the field and
of what is being accomplished, in
order to keep up the interest and
support among the home people.
Sunday was a full day. Presi­

MBS. BASS VISITS DIVINE.
HEALER IN PORTLAND
Editor Graphic— I spent the past
week In Portland, visiting my son,
Ernest R. Bass, and with him at­
tending the John G. Lake divine
healing meetings, now in progress
at Eleventh and Morrison streets.
While there two notable healings
came under my observation .one of
a man who had been a sufferer from
stomach trouble for a year and un­
able to eat solid food, and another,
a woman, a sufferer for eighteen
years from a goiter.
The day follosring their healing
I heard them joyfully testify that
God’s pewer was the same, yester­
day. today and forever.
Mr. Lake has for the past five
years made his home in Spokaps,
Washington, and during the last
two years, through his ministry,
God healed 1,299 cases of flu.

REGARDING PRUNE PICKERS
NOTES
1. "A husbandman la the master
of the earth, turning barrenness
into fruitfulness, whereby all com­
monwealths are maintained and up­
held. Hie labor glveth liberty to all
vocations, arte and trades, to follow
their several functions with peace
and industry."
2. "Fortunately, the boys who
leave the farms do not all go to the
s r . . . cities.
While N e . Y o * ’.
population has been increasing 26
per cent, as have those of all the
major cities, the population of cities
and towns under 100,000 has in­
creased four times as rapidly. This
seems a more wholesome sympton,
for the city of 100,000 is not out of
touch with the land and the basic
industries in the way that the larg­
er cities are."
3. "Each one of the major cities
is conscious of the smaller cities
and towns upon which it is directly
dependent, just as each smaller city
or town is conscious of dependence
upon the farmers or the miners who
turn out the raw material."
4. “ If the men who work in the
open country stopped turning out
raw material the great cities would
soon be as sick aa Vienna now is."
5. "This la a good least» for
modern nations whose inhabitants
have been leaving the raw material
industries and running into the
middleman occupations.
It should
teach them that cities are o f ms
value unless they are backed by the
country producers, and that etvttt*
cation, -far from centering in the
elty, actually has its roots and its
highest development in the coun­
try-”
6. "Agriculture is beyond all
doubt, the foundation of every other
art, business and profession, and it
has therefore- been the ideal policy
of every wise and prudent people
to encourge It to the utmost."
*7. "Than farming, there is prob­
ably no occupation in which expert-
so much time is required to obtain
the experience."
S. "Farm work is individual
work. Each worker has to take re­
sponsibility.”
9. “ The farm is not the place
for the inefficient."
10. "The art of agriculture will
never rise higher than the level of
the man who manages thd land."

THE COMPROMISE RESOLU-
1
TI0N AT CHICAGO
Senator Johnson’s chance of win­
ning the nomination was distinctly
lessened when he and Senator Borah
accepted the compromise plank on
the peace treaty and proclaimed it
as their victory. With those boast­
ings the fear of a possible bolt by
the Californian was lifted from the
convention. It can now proceed se-

dacy in fu ll. confidence that his
guns have been spiked and that he
could not accomplish anything with
a bolt based on the purely personal
grievance of his failure to capture
the nomination.
- Unfortunately the adopted plank,
though accepted by those republi­
can leaders who were for ratifica­
tion with the senate amendments,

ground less advantageous than it.
would have held if the committee
had adopted the plank that was op­
posed by the Johnson coterie. The
discarded plank would have put the
Wilson administration on the defen­
sive— as having defeated ratifica­
tion of the peace treaty and the
league covenant. It was a frank, def­
inite commendation of the majority
of republican senators in their
commendable stand for a league
of nations with reservations.
Its
adoption would have enabled the
republican party to point to Mr.
Wilson as the man who, through
those democratic senators who were
completely under his control, pre-
vented the admission of the United
States into the league of nations by
voting against the ratification with
reservations.
But the compensating fact' re­
mains that Johnson and Borah have
'’shot their bolt" at Chicago and
from this moment forward should
receive scant consideration. If the
Californian candidate has won a
victory, as he Is boasting, it will
prove a victory that will lead to his
wMMig. He is an adroit politician,
but with all his shrewdness seems
blind to the patent fact that the
American people are reacting against
dictatorial politics. They have bad
a seven-year surfeit of that at the
hands of Mr. Wilson, and are In no
mood to elect another president who
would take up the whip-cracking
methods where Mr. Wilson dropped
them by forced retirement.
Of the two men Mr. Wilson is the
more adroit bulldozer, for he long
masked his autocratic
purposes
with his skilful rhetoric, while the
California senator is as blunt as a
sledge hammer.
The compromise resolution may
be the best solution of a difficult
and dangerous situation, but it is
regretable that it leaves the party
with a dulled sword to assail the
vulnerable position into which Mr.
Wilson had stubbornly maneuvered
his party.— Spokesman Review.
EXCHANGE COMMENT
A petition is circulating to be
presented to the county court ask­
ing that the road from the Lewis
Corner to McMinnville be paved
with concrete. There is no question
but this is the most durable road to
build, and even if it costs more it
is economy in the long run. The
greatest opportunity the people of
this section have ever had put up
to them is whether the construction
of this road shall be accomplished
this year or carried over until the
bond buyers are willing to furnish
money equal to the face of the
bonds. The county court sre firm
tn their stand thaf they shall re­
quire the full amount of money be­
fore they negotiate the sale, and
Judging by the present state of the
money market, the most likely
method of securing the full amount
of the bonds would be to sell to pri­
vate individuals who are desirous
of completing the road this rear.
With the well prepared foundation
this road already has. It seams as if
it would be easily'possible to secure
a big part of the work of grading by
donation. One thing is cefrtaln, it
furnishes the finest opportunity to
show our mettle that we have ever
had in road construction and it will
determine whether we have the en­
terprise to build the road, or are
willing to put up for another year or
tw o with a rough and muddy sur­
face.— Telephone Register.
- Senator McNary made a big polit-
mistake in coming out for Hl-
ram Johnson. When he comes up
for re-nomination this w ill-he re­
membered. It is an act that will not
be forgotten. In backing Johnson
