Jan. 24, 19)1 Dear Democrat: Jerusalem was the capital of both the Hebrew nation and church, lhis is the federal capita and in a way our religious capital al so. This was my thought as I at tended the "Fedcnil Council of the Churches of Christ in America" today. This can hardly be avoided thouul: wc have declared a separation church and slate. This council is composed of thirty two denominations and the purpose is to so arrange as 1o promote the general cause of evangelical religion One speaker made the purpose clear by comparing it to the political fed cration of ihe stales. The states were at lirst very jealous of their local in terest and were fearful to surrender any slate rights but the devclopmcn . past and in progress is to use the general government for those public interests whicn it could serve best anc at the same time have the individua slate do for the public good that which it can do best. Jealousy is now disappearing and mutual helpful ness growing. Jt is not the purpose to destroy the separate denomina tions but to federate for the better ac complishment ot common purposes. Ihe states arc not destroyed but strengthened by the general govern ment so the denominations can better 1o their great work in the work foreign missions, the conquering of an opposing heathen world and the conquering of a hcalchn fhvasion by evangelizing inem. Many good tilings were said but : think will be plcasantcr in the read ing than in the hearing. They seemed to lie talking to be read rather than lor present effect like Jicy talk in congress. The other day I heard Sen ator Hurton talk for an hour against - the ship subsidy bill and he did not seem to care whether anybody listen ed or not anil Ihe man sitting next to me did go sound asleep and snored. The senator was talking to be read, indeed I thought his clerk did the most of it by arranging his notes and quotations and authorities. Senator Cuminings followed on the same sub ject and talked to his constituents not to the few senators who were listening. So these hue talks today tin the Council of l-'ederated Churches will be more impressive if read. They were made by slrong men in Ihe Southern. I'rc.bylcrian, Iiahlisl, M. I-:. North and Souiii, Congregational ami other denominations. J J, C. ELLIOTT.

DON'T WANT COMMISSIONS Harrisburg, Jan. 30. There was a long article from one, Mr. Parks, pub iished in the Democrat, and in fact the papers have been full of it for the last six months, telling of the mmy rock quarries in Linn county. This is only a sample of the way our money would be spent provided that some of the graft measures of the good roads association became a law. No doubt there are one thouBandmen or more in Linn county that could have told of these rock piles that Mr. Parks took days to locate and test, and we farmeis call them by a mrre euphoneous name (Nigger head) That means they are a little harder than basalt. I also noticed that Mr. Parks found a rock quarry in Multnomah county that they did not know they possessed. Now this is nothing strange, the people of Multnomah county have read graft literature so long they are not account able for what they do not know. W v cannot build good roads with red tape and pencil. It takes brains and muscle, with a will to back it, and I have full faith in the farmers and tax payers to furnish both in Linn county, without any suggestion from a state highway commission or high salaried state engineer sitiing in a $40 chair. Yours in the interest of real roads, County Jake. WEDNESDAY BIG POSTAL GAIN. The receiptsjof the Albany P.

The Examiner says of him: "Pepito Ar'iola played his second concert last night to another charmed audience. This little lad worked his hearers into enthusiasm. It was the vordict of his hearers that Pepito is the most marvelous boy of the age He makes belief in the stories of Mozart's precocity easy He has the gift of music and plays Chopin's sentimental ities or Liszt's gorceuus senuous music with tho same uncanny understanding. A blind person, listening, would say a man, matured and experienced, was seated at the piano. Instead, there is only Pepito, who is 13 years old and looks no more than 10."

After three weeks hard work it has passed a uni limiting ine size ot nrecracxers. The principal thing gbout one of the road bills is a $4000 job for the com missioner.

Tex Kickard says Jeffries and John son wiU fight again. Evert if the men are willing it should never be allowed in the interest of good morals. The preliminary fake talks atone are de moralizing. Besides the people have been bilkedenough. Last night a note was found tini er the Commerial Club loom dooi signed anonymously, declaring that the stran ger had been charged 35 cents for a hamberger snd a cup of corfee, while the rate on a sign discovered after wards was only 20c for the two.

The insatra asylum investigation is liable to be a boomerang to Bowerman and his gang, and already it is -said is dbing so. Developments indica'e- that Dr. Steiner is a very efficient superin tendent, and that there has been little extravagance. If there has been it should be ferreted' out. But just now it looks as it the whole business was spite work, by Bowerman and ethers, wanting to made a reputation.
