ORE.. DEC. 25 1914 Perhaps odd reason for Seoretary Lane holding baok government reolam ation foods for tbe Tnmalo project was that be oould not sea aa muah in tbe projeot aa be oonld in some otbsr (motions of tbe state. , Tnmalo baa its (180,000 of atate money and Lane says $150,000 of federal foods, and more if needed will be available for projeots recommended by reclamation engin . eers, somewhere in Eastern Oregon for ,' instanoe. That the Tnmalo projeot is a worthy enterprise, do one will ques tion; but tbe faot that tbere teemed to , , be a disposition in that aeotion of tbe atate to garner all available foods, ' both state and national for develop meat there, to the exolasion of otber meritorious reclamation projects in other parte . of. tbe ' state, greatly atrengthens tbe Import of Seoretary ' Lane's aotion. Truth of tbe matter is, tbeie ia no reason whatever that tbe State of Oregon should be in the reolamaton business at all in tbe mak ing of state appropriations. And the only reason tbat tbe taxpayers of the atate are oalled opon to furnish tem porary fnnds for reclamation of arid . land, ia neoause the Oregon delegation ' was asleep at the switch at a time , when tbey abonld have protected Ore gon'! share of the national reclamation fond. ' v 1 That eometody is wrong, ia tbe ulti mate oonolnaion of one of osr ex abangea. Concerning tbe operation of Ibe tariff somebody haabeen wrong for tbe last 60 years.

Whin free trade butter and eggs would knook tbe prio es of tbeae commodities into a cooked bat aod then batter goes op to 10 or AO oents a pound and eggs go to 60 cents a dozen, somebody made a wild BO ess. Wben tbe tariff revision went downward to earn the price of every ' thing witb it and ptioea kept apaoe 1 witb tbe blgb oostof living, somebody was wrong again. And why? Bs oanBe tbey Sguied on a atate of facts that did not exist, Europe went to war. Ibe president of tbe United States was reoeutly lauded by the press, and vuy properly so, for suggesting medi ation between the engineers and rail road managers in adjusting their aobednle of time and pay. The engin eers threatened to .strike if their wages were not Increased from approximate ly ten to eleven doilara per day and service reduoed from ten to eight boura and a similar readjustment of the overtime schedule.

Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The farmers of this nation have on their payroll 95,000 preachers and this number applying themselves diligent ly and exclusively to the religious work at hand ia sadly Inadequate to properly serve their respective com munities. Those who put on ecclesiastical robes are In a measure free to unlock every door to the human heart and enter the secret chambers of reason and every person should submit their conduct to review and seek the coun sel of those divinely appointed mes sengers of life, but the moment the minister closes the Bible and opena the law book, he becomes a menace to society. The difficulty of keeping the preach er In the pulpit ia as old as religion. Christ encountered it in the temple when he drove the priests from the bargain counter back to the pulpit. Our pilgrim fathers met it when, through the Influence of the clergy, a witch court waa established at Salem, Maes., in 1692, that precipitated a legal holocaust threatening to reduce the population to ashes and which waa ex tinguished by the laymen uniting and forcing the preachers back to the pul pit. .. . . The greatest peril to the church to day is politics. The temptation of the ministry to throw down the croaa of Christ and pick up the club of the policeman; to substitute the penalties of Vap law for the power of tbe altar and to legislate religion into human hearts, never was greater. The world never needed a religious ministry more nor political preachers less than it does today. We need min isters to teach us how to live; we know how to vote. The religious preacher is the moat capable servant and the political preacher the sorriest master the world has ever known. Wherever power is placed In the handa of the latter tbey invariably become intolerant, bigoted and vicious and resort to the whip and the faggot to enforce their opinion. - Civilization has many times been compelled to drive incorrigible preach ers back to the pulpit at the point of the bayonet. Many of the pages of history are wet with blood shed at the bands of political preachers who wrote laws on the statute books that com mitted arson upon mankind, maimed human beings with the hatchet and sent helpless women to the torture rack, all because they disagreed with their views. When in control of gov ernment, the pulpit politicians invari ably undertake to perform legislative miracles such as casting out witches with the flame of a torch, suborning conscience with shackles and enforc ing opinions with the guillotine. Mixing Politics and Religion. Politics and religion will not blend. No free government can long exist or the church perform its mission to society when preachers and politicians temporarily exchange callings, and a civilization that , will countenance sucb conduct will soon decay. Such a traffic in occupations le aa unsound in principle as the white slave trade is Immoral in practice. Tbe hand that passes the sacrament should not collect slush funds for po litical purposes. Tbe gentle voice that comforts us in sorrow and pronounces the last sad rites upon our departed loved ones should not rave and rant on the hustings. I do not believe a preacher can manipulate political ma chinery and be righteous any more than he could become a burglar and be honest. I think it as immoral for a preacher to seek to lobby while he prays as It would be for him to gamble while he preaches. A preacher can no more preach a political sermon without converting his pulpit into a political rostrum than he could sell Intoxicating liquor from the altar without converting the church into a bar-room. He can no more purify politics by playing the game than he can sanctify gambling by running a lottery. I join in the oft-repeated suggestion that a preacher has as much right in political brawls as a saloon keeper and we' alBo admit that he has as much right to get drunk as anyone else, but we would rather he would not do so for the "greater the saint the great er the sin." I think a political bishop can turkey trot in the name of Chris tianity as consistently as he can enter into a mud-allnglng political contest to the disgrace of his church. H Um. Ey oiinlqn t!St when this World is saved It will be through re ligious sermons and not through poli tical speeches. Salvation must come ,.o ua from the Bible and not from the statute book; It will come through holy councils of consecrated ministers and not from caucuses of political preachers. . , ,. The Problem of the Laymen. There never was a time when preachers and politicians formed an unholy alliance that civilization did not shriek out and Christianity cry aloud. Since the beginning of gov ernment, politicians have sought to decoy the ministry into the meshes of politics and make them carry banners in political processions. They have taken the ministry to the mountain top of power and offered to make them monarch of all they surveyed, and while most of them have said, "get thee behind me Satan,; a few have fallen with a craeh that has shaken every pulpit In Christendom. The ministry, unsophisticated and confiding, Is no match tor the poli tician versed in artful persuasion and skilled In deceit, and It is the duty of the layman to protect the ministry against tbe onslaught of these wolves In sheep's' clothing and drive the poli ticians from the pulpit with the lash of publlo scorn. It is the laymen's problem to keep the ministry free from unholy alliances, for it ia said on divine authority that we are our brother's keeper. Political Prayer Meetings. It is a tad day tor Christianity the church bells call the commur- lug. Such gatherings mw tldo of religious poll" put bitterness Into t$ fan tbe flame of clo slroy niuu meet and dang state. It ovist Church that tie political" preacher Is fast disappearing and may his in fluence ever wane and his shadow ever grow lees Is the prayer of the farmers of this nation. THE BATTLE OF MARATHON. ma Iiaillw Ul l-llf y Christian in lly. The si tines la aif And the Mound Under Which the Old Oreoian Heroes Rest. A great Grecian landmark is the Soros, the mound erected over the graves of 102 Athenians who fell in tbe battle of Marathon, Aug. 12, 490 B. O. The mound Is about forty feet high and 300 yards In circumference. Underneath tbe mound lie the heroes who died In this most decisive victory which prevented the Persians from In vading Europe. Tbe battle bad hardly begun when the Persians In immensely superior force, doubtless ten to one, pulled themselves together and by sheer mass broke through tbe Greek center. But this had been calculated upon before hand. Mlltiudes employed strategy, making his line weak at the center, and allowed the Persians to break In. Then, with his heavy masses at the ends, he ground the Persian wings to pieces and fell upon their center. The most stubborn fighting, apart from the battle at tbe ships, was probably at this spot, half a mile from tbe shore- Six thousand four hundred Persians lay on this plain and along tbe shore, while 102 men of Marathon lay wrap ped In glory on the held. It was long suspected that the he roes of Marathon were burled under tbe mound, but Mr. Stais, one of tbe Greek ephori of antiquities, studying the plain, came to tbe conclusion that the surface of the soil had been raised by alluvial deposits eight to ten feet above tbe level of 400 B. O. In 1890 he drove a trench with a downward slant into the center of tbe mound and found the bones of tbe heroes witb their weapons beside them. Strand Magazine. SINKING SHIPS. If Completely Submerged They Must Go to the Bottom. Answering a correspondent who writes: "I am very anxious to find out whether a ship will Blnk if the bottom of tbe ocean Is at great depth or, at least, at such depth tbat the weight of the water would be greater than the weight of tbe ship. It is tbe opinion of many tbat at a certain depth the ship would remain suspended Instead of sinking to tbe bottom. Please ex. plain the exact truth of the matter," Edgar Luclen Larkln in the New York American says: "Any mass that will entirely sink below tbe surface of the ocean will Blnk to tbe bottom of any sea or ocean on earth. This Is because water is al most incompressible. Enormous pressure In hydraulic presses has been made upon distilled and also upon sea water, and tbe di mlnution of volume that is, increase of density Is only 0.000044 for ocean water for each atmosphere, 1. e., each addition of fifteen pounds to each square inch. Then water soaked wood would be increased in density by very nenrly tbe same amount. Hence if all of tbe wood in a wood en ship sinks below the surface it must go to the bottom. Tbe question of reaching the bottom of the ocean is de cided for any kind of matter of any sblp or boat by its behavior at the sur face. If all of tbe material of the boat sinks (it all below tbe surface, then it will fall to the bottom of any sea, there being sucb a slight increase In density of watnr at tbe bottom of the oeepest ocean." FHEY WERE WELL MATCHED. Why the Ramseys War Like Old Joe Murchiton's Team. ' "It seems struuge that the Ramseys should have married each other," said Mrs. Pllinan. "Strange? Not at all, my dear!" re plied her husband. "They are well mated as well muted as old Joe Mur chlson's horses were." "I don't know anything about Mur chlson's horses," said Mrs. Pitman, "but I know tbat Mr. Itamsey is big and handsome and indolent, and Mrs. Ramsey, is always at work and is thrifty into the bargain." , "That bears out wbnt I say, my dear," Bald ber husband. "Let me ex plain. In that remote and 'dark ages' period of my life before I knew you they offered a prize at the annual fair for the best matched pair of agricul tural horses. There were some beau ties brought hi, so tbat everybody laughed wben old Joe Murchlson came driving along a great, handsome, slow moving horse harnessed with a wiry. scrawny little beast that took two steps to the big fellow's one. "That's a finely matched pair!" somebody shouted. "So tbey ber agreed Joe compla cently. 'So tbey be! The best matched pair in tbe county! One's wltlln' to do all tbe work an' t'otber's wllUn' be should!' "Exchange. THE OLD YORK ROAD. Built In 1711, It Was the First Great American Highway. Something over 200 years ago there was built the first great American highway, "the old York road," be tween New York and Philadelphia. The construction of this famous road in 1T11 was an example that led the energetic colonists at otber points along tbe Atlantic seaboard to make similar roads where there were no wa ter routes. For the most part these roads were built by chartered compa nies and were railed turnpikes or toll roads. Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jorsey h-' tnauv roads r tfbj kind. v Citation.
