LAFOLLETTE THE PROGRES - SIVE. Senator Lafollette yesterday after noon made a good democratic speech, one that interested the audience that packed the armory to the door and to uic iiacK oi ine piuiery. He declared that the next four years will settle things for the people or will sec the trusts and combma lions legalized; that there arc strong indications that the present supreme curt will take the hrst excuse that (itfcrs to legalize the trust octopus. offering a menace the people need to watch and guard against at the hallot. There is one state where justice is done the trusts, Wisconsin, of which the speaker was governor for six years, building up the best state gov eminent in the U. S. He showed Roosevelt s insincerity on the tariff, and that lie was really a slandpatler, a good politician though. He selected Taft as his successor. and no president since Uuchannan did the people a greater wrong, and it was he who taught lalt how to get th support of the office holders under linn, he is now complaining about. He handed Taft the tariff question, and Taft before election agreed to a revision downward, but instead he signed the Paync-Aldrich bill revising the tariff UP, with 000 increases in it. What is needed now is for Con gress by affirmative legislation to de nounce overcapitalization, taking the vater out of stock in a rotten busi ness that is a menace to the country. A steady hand is needed at the head to bring stock down in the great con cerns to ils actual valuation. (Paid Advertisement.) THE SOUL. . Some time ago there appeared in Hie Democrat four texts of Scripture for the purpose of proving the im mortality of the soul. 1m. Luke 23:43. "Today shall thou be wilh me in paradise." Koticc the request of the thief, "Lord, rc'member me when thou com cst into thy kingdom," not when'thou gnesl. ' T he thief evidently under stood thtit Jesus had taught that he wouM r-imrn to earth to..,set up his kingdom: He has not yet returned so his pnryer is not yet 'answered. .. I'arfi'diin' was not then in existence. When describing the new earth and capilol, the New Jerusalem, the Kcvclntor says; "In ll'C midst of the afreet of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life." Rev. 2.1:2. And to him that ovcrcometh ivilT I give to cat of the tree of life which" is in the midst of the Paradise Mt God.'" Rev. 2:7. This loentes paradise in the new cart-h. When Jesus conies then the thief's prayer will be answered. The reading of the text with the comma placed after today; will make it easily understood, "Verily I say unto thee today, shall thou be with me in para dise." I'uncliiation is not inspired, was not in use when the Iiiblc was written. Christ said of himself that as "Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly," so 111! should be "three days anil nights in rhc heart of the earth." Malt. 12:40. 5o there Is where he went that day instead of paradise. 2nd. 2 Cor. 5:1-9. 'Troves the soul's absence from the body and at home with the Lord.' Let us see if I'.'ntf' meant just that. He says: "So WE being many are ONI? BODY in Christ, and every one members of one another." Rom. 12:5. "Now YE arc the BODY of Christ." 1 Cor. 12: 27. "And hath put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the CHURCH which is his HODY:" Eph. 1:22:23. "And he is the head" of. the BODY the CHURCH." Col. 1:1H.24. "Who now-rejoice in my sufferings for you, and Til hip that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his BODY'S sake, which is the CHURCH." Thus he repeats again and again. With this view of the word body, all is plain. "Therefore we arc al ways confident, knowing that whilst we arc at home in the BODY," not onr bodies as it should read if he meant our physical organisms. "We are absent from the Lord." Our head, the '.on!, is away; and "we are conlideut, 1 sav, and willing rather to be absent from the HODY," not our bodies, "and to be present with the Lord." Not a word about the soul in tho whole account and not a hint that a man is conscious when he is dead, lation. l'oul was wishing for trans- 3rd. Phil. 1:21-23. "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Paul floes not mean that by dying he wouli. go to heaven tor he believed and taught the resurrection as his hope for a future life. lie says, "Christ shall be magnified in mv bodv, whether it be by life or by death."' How could death He gain? lie would be at rest from persecution. 2 Cor. 11:2.1.7. Hut he did not mean it would be gain to himself. He says. "Kor mo to live is Christ," (gain to Christ"), "and to die is gain," (gain to Christl. "for he shall be magnified in my HODY whether by life or by death. " His thought was only to magnify Christ. Then he says: "I ;un in a strait betwixt two," which to clroose he did not know, but there was a third thing he did desire and lhat was to "depart ami be wilh Christ which is far better. " This call only be translated that he desired. 4ih. John 14 1 3. Chri-I was coni iVrting bis disciples, by his promise ti come again. He has gone, as he faid, to piepaie a place for his faith ful ones ami w ill come again to raise ihe dead. ClKine.e the living anil re ceive (hem unto himself, that where he is there they may be also. 1 Thcss. 4:15. End. Then paradise will be restored. V inni Aduii!9. Crvt-liia.

An awful ocean disaster occurred yes terday when the big atsaraahip Titanic sank, and 1620 people were dri.wned liifi are reported rescued. The steamer crashed into an iceberg down from the north, one of the greatest enemies of navigation. rome of the passengers supposed to be lost are among the richest men of the world, John Jacob Astor, J. Bruce Ismay. Col. Robehng, Isadore Straus, Uto. Widener, Benj. Guggenheimer, I. B. Thayer, worth altogether $420, 000,000. With others, the wealth rep resented is a billion dollars. The Titanic was said to be the tinest steamer in the world. Among those drowned is William T Stead, the great London journalist. On the bout were at least four Port land people. Herman Klaber. F. M. Warren, Mrs. Jas. R. Watt and Miss Bertha Watt. Mr. and Mrs. W, W Cotton had booked for the Titanic, but changed their minds just before the steamer sailed. The east is frantic for news of those saved and particulars. 866 SAVED. New York, April 1G. According to the White Star Line Co there were 2358 on board the Titanic when lost.

Little hope is expressed of rescuing tho Burviv'ors in oo.-ita, as it 19 toggy and n heavy thun- Icrstorm is prevailing. Wirelers opera- tots today are unab.e to reach anv ves aels supposed to be in the vicinity. It is expected stories of survivors will eclipse anything in fiction.

The Titanic was going about 18 miles an hour when sno struck the iceberg, which smashed her decks, sides and bulkheads bo great was the impact. The bottom is supposed to have been torn out by submerged icebergs. The ! effort to launch the life boBts was fierce. Some were smashed to pieces in the davits and some swamped, while others made it into the open sea. There were 3423 sacks of miil on the beat, ineillflinir mliahl., t Ann ruin ! iwlprpH Ifl tr j ' ' Among those who went down was Maj. Butt, aid to President Taft. Karl Behr, tennis champion, and Francis Millet, artist. It is known that Henry S. Harper, the publisher, is saved, also Mrs. John Jacob Astor and Mrs. Geo. Widener. Capt. Smith, of the Titanic, it is said, imu ueeo warned oi tne icebergs. An old schoolmate of the Democrat man, a resident of Kansas for a good many years, says prohibition there is a j success, also: ' Kansas may be filled j with cranks, but it must be conceded that her crankism is directed against that which would destroy her wonderful upward progress, and which is gnawing at uic viluisui ineoiaercommonweauns. Winslow for District Attorney, Prom ises a Strict and Impartial En forcement of the Law. V. C. Winslow, candidate for Dis trict Attorney, has had practical ex perience and is well qualified to fill the oftice.

The Wis. men are all proud of Bob Teddy is making the people take notice anyway. -What's the matter of a permanent ! Copenhagen on the O. E. Giye the autos time and they will settle the dog question. Mr. Taft perhaps is getting nervous. Teddy's big stick is swinging. The world is full of f unken icebergs one may run against with disaster. The modern . iu'eeernaut has four I rubber wheels and a heavy gasoline en gine. A genius back east has discovered that colds come from cust. No dust no colds. The rich and the poor went down to. gether. The ocean paid no attention to weaun. Wall Street isn't disturbed about Taf' at an, except in tne yellow minds of spell-bicders. Connie Mack says all bad habits affect good base ball playing. Booze and cig arettes are kneckers. The people of the U. S. spend $300, 000,000 annually, it is estimated, going to moving picture shows, which is cer tainly seeing things. Not much choice between Selling and Bourne.. As a matter of fact Bourne has done better work for Oregon than some want to give him credit for. Dr. John Wesley Hill, from the east, who is trying to speellboand Oregon, declares that he would sacrifice his life for the reelection of Taft, which is the worst kind of demagogism. Instead of it being easier for a came to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven, someone h3S now discovered that the translation has been incorrect and the word should be rope.
