In Keeping With the Big
Thought of the Day
The daiiy press reflects a sentiment throughout the nation
which cltarly indicates a new condition.
V,JIfnVre,W9nte(iueVeuywhere- The work of th!s war is being
CAmedon largely by those who never before have been in pub
lic office or in public work. Men who have been too busy, too
engrossed with their own tasks, are leaving their work to oth
ers and ae giving their time and ability to the cause which is
ours, yours, everybody's. - .
It is a time when politics in the ordinary sense must not be
considered. It calls for all the ability that can be mustered.
Oregon to be a successful part in this unit plan for the de
tense of Democracy must likewise place the thought of the
times before everything.
In another part of this paper appears the announcement of
u d Pso".as a candidate for the nomination for Governor
on the Republican ticket. Mr. Simpson was urged to become
a candidate by his many friends in every part of the state, be
cause of his business record, his understanding and knowledge
ct Oregon s resources, industries and needs; because of hispub-lic-spiritedness,
which of recent years has led him to tasks
which have been of more importance to him than his own af
iciirs. L.J. Simpson is clearly the man who can
give Oregon the administration neces
sary to this plan of National Efficiency.
Wa ,camPai?n WH be directed straight to you as voters, as
individuals who do your own thinking.
. We are firmly convinced that you will not allow politics to
influence your decision, and that you will vote for the man who
is best fit to help the people of Oregon, develop the state's vast
resources, and to prepare for, and participate in, the great
reconstruction that is to follow.
We believe you will weigh issues more closely than ever be
fore and that L. J. Simpson will be your choice.

RELIGION OF THE CHILDREN
Spirit of Faith, Hope and Love Toward
the Father and Mother Is Off
spring's World.
We need not follow the antlqunrinns
back into the era of the cave dwellers
in our seurch for the origin of religion.
Religion is reborn in the birth of pverv
h.ibe, says Lyman Abbott in the Out-
loou. He needs no teacher to tell him
that he Is dependent on tils mother
for h!s food, and a widening sense of
ms helpless dependence on her grows
with his wideninff experience. Her
service to him awakens his gratitude,
tier brooding love for hlin inspires in
him an answering love.
If she Is wise as well ns an affec
tionate mother, he early recognizes
her authority nod lenrns thnt nrnmllt
obedience is one secret of happiness.
ir she loves and honors her husband'
her child's love and honor follows
hers to the strong si ranger. If she
nas piety as well as human affection,
he dimly perceives in her prayers
at his bedside an experience which
he presently wishes he might share.
Thus there grows up in him a spirit
of dependence, gratitude, love, rever
ence, obedience, faith and this spirit
is religion. It antedates nil Iheolocv.
precedes thought, transcends defini
tion, ine spirit of fuith, hope and
love toward father and mother Is the
child's religion. The conception of
God and his duties toward God comes
luter.
TURNS THOUGHT TO RELIGION
Destruction by Shell of Statue That
Stood Somewhere In Galicia Re
sulted in Many Reproductions.
Yes, war does turn men's thoughts
to religion. Go to gay, immoral Buda
pest. You find it today a city of sober
people, tou find in many of the shop
windows the reproduction of a famous
statue that stood "somewhere in Gall
da," relates the Christian Herald.
It was a large crucifix. A battle
pivoted around It. A shell struck the
statue, tore away the entire cross nnd
left the figure of the Christ standing
and unscathed. This event made a
tremendous Impression upon the Hun
garians. The story of it went through the
army like wildllre. At Budapest mini
ature statues, showing the destroyed
cross nnd the intact figure of the
Christ, were nt once manufactured,
uud put on sale. You can llnd them
now, expensive or cheap, In nearly
every Hungarian home.
The pity of It Is that it seems to
take a war to make some people think
of these things.
Make Your Own Fat Compound.
Many folks object to paying the pres
ent high price for lard, but realize thai
at the price of hogs and Willi the prob
able future demand it Is unlikely thai
the price will be reduced soon, it be
comes Important, then, to find a cheap
er satisfactory substitute. In-. Limine
Stanley of the Missouri college of ag
riculture, suggests that honsewivei
consider suet as a source of cheap fat.
Suet has not been as extensively used
as lard on account of lis harder con
slsteucy. It can be obtained at aboul
10 cents a pound. From this can be
obtained 14 ounces of pure fat at a
cost of 12 cenls a pound. In order to
bring this to the consislency of bird
It Is only necessary fo add oil In the
proportion of one of oil lo two partf
of sflet. This elves a compound fat
which is very salisfartoiy for general
household use. Coilonsc ed oil or corn
011 can now be obtained at about 'J1
cenln a pound. On the basis of Ha
ubove proportions a sutisliuMory lard
substitute can be had at a cist of Ki
iciils a pound.

What's in a
Name?
By JULIA NANCE
(Copyright. 1917, We.tern New.paper Union.)
Harbeson entered the apartment
house, stepped up to the young man
sitting nt the telephone desk and asked
to be announced to Miss Vinton.
"Which Vinton, there are two fam
ilies of that name here, one on the
third and one on the fifth floor."
Harbeson said he did not know, hut
that he was expected and suggested
that the telephone man ask one of the
two If Miss Vinton was expecting a
visitor called Harbeson. The message
was sent nnd a reply received to tell
l lie gentleman to come up. This set
tled the matter nnd entering the ele
vator he was taken to the fifth floor,
where he found a young lady dressed
ui mourning waiting for hlin In the
drawing room.
Edward Harbeson nnd .Tnmos vin.

lege, w lien they were graduated Vin
ton sailed, without visitlncr his nnmp
for Europe. Harbeson wns to study a
pioiession in the city where Vinton
lived nnd Vinton invited him to call
upon his sister, promising to write her
that he wns coming.
"I am delighted to meet thn taster
of a friend of mine," was Harbeson's
opening remark.
The young lady seemed emhnrrnssort
and It is questionable If these conven
tional words made any Impression on
her. She pointed to a seat for the
guest and took one near It for her
self. "I suppose" she said, "that we may
ns well proceed to the object of your
call at once. Of. course t hnve nn
recollection of you though I have been
roia that we were playmates when we
were children. It seems to inn thnt
the only sensible thing for us to do Is
io get acquainted, without any men
tion of your father's wish. Tun iv 1 11
show -whether It will seem best that
we carry it out."
Harbeson was thrown tint nhnrV h
this formal nddress. Instead of say
ing "Miss Vinton, I have not the slight
est Idea what you are talking about,'1
he said "very true," took out his hand-
Kercnier, drew it nervously across his
Hfs, put It back In his nocker nnd
asked :
"However, I think thnt we hnrt
ter start with a mutual nnilermnn.iin
of just what my father's wish Is. It
woum be very stupid of us to spend a
lot of time under a mlsnndprntnnd.
ing."
"Very well, stnte the case."
This was not What Hnrheann hnil
counted on, but he wns equal to the
occasion.
"A very hurried and mencpr Rtntn-
ment of the case has been given me,
and "
"Have you not seen vonr fuihor'a
will?"
"I have not." He might have added,
'my father has nothl lit? tn h oh mm I It
and I don't think he has made a will."
Well, since you prefer It I will state
the case. Your father and motlii.r !...
iiig separuted when you were a little
noy, and you having been awarded to
your mother, your father ml.,i.i...i ,

that he left bis pronertv to von ami

" he lady looked down nt tlia fl.wii-
and failed to proceed.
lou mean he desired thnt we
ihould enjoy bis property together as
inn n and wife."
"I believe ho" wns the scarce aud
ible response,
"Have you any Idea how much my
father left?"
"I have been told that It produces
tin Income of three thousunil a year."
There was a brief pause after which
Harbeson (.d: "Whatever happens
between you and Ine I will mv tl.lu

nun oe yoiirn.
The young lady looked up at hi in
with surprise anil admiration. "At
nny nite," she wild "you are a ery
unusual iiinn."
"Not at all," replied Iliirbeson, "but
I feel myself unworthy of such a love
ly girl."
, Tho situation had reached Ibis singe
when there win a ring at the tele
phone, and the man at the desk below
announced Mr. Iltimlsloii. Iliirbeson
heard It and the truth flashed upon
