A constant increase in church affiliations is indicated by the poll. Just after the close of the Revo lutionary War, less than seven per cent of the people belonged to church. Now the poll shows that more than 43 per cent of the peo ple now subscribe to some faith or other. There seems to even be a rising tide of morality sweeping over the land, although some among us be lieve none of the heathen courts were more irreligious than we are in the United States. Perhaps there has been a fall ing off in fervor among many of the church members but there are grounds for believing the decline has been chiefly in the old-time fanaticism and sectarian intol erance. No cause exists for weep ing over the total loss of either of these enemies of true religion. The polls served as an answer to the claim by agnostics that or ganized religion is on the decline. The results were generally the same in all the cities in which the poll was taken. Even in New York, commonly termed a "god less city," the believers outnum bered the non-believers. This poll should help to quelch the blatant skeptics who make a great deal of noise about the de cay of the church. But it proba bly won't. They refuse to be con vinced by an array of facts and figures. Youth's Big Job. IT IS quite the popular thing in these days of movies, autos, and bootleg booze, to lament over the terrible state of degeneracy into which the youth of the land has fallen; we hear this almost constantly. However, there ap pears to be a pretty big job for the present generation of young sters to tackle. Listen to the com ment of the Canyon City Blue Mountain Eagle, and be con vinced: "The younger generation are having a hard time keeping the old folks straight. When a young boy gets out on a noisy toot, we resolve that the younger genera tion is going to heck. Nothing of the kind, for the boy only came into contact with papa's bootleg biru.jawrenc& lUmhorne cJ What may I ask of the glad New Year, Whose golden dawning paints the eastern sky! what may 1 hope to accomplish here As days and season move so swiftly by? What shall I promise myself to do Before this priceless 'Help me to live In a And earn the comradeship of loyal friends.

Strengthen my arms Yet keep me humble, honest and sincere. fGive me a strenuous And urge me on ,Then let me rest In the And hear the Master ger. It is the old folks that need the fixing. Papa's booze parties and mama's cigarettes keep the young folks worried. We have not much hope in the old sin-soaked generation but, with faith, look to the young for a moral house cleaning. Look at all the corrup tion we have had revealed in pub lic life. Old men, not kids, it was who sold the government oil lands, and it has not been the younger generation that has corrupted a whole state in buying a seat in the United States senate. It will take the young folks to save the old ones and when son gets drunk on moonshine he bought from papa's bootlegger, lets don't blame the rising generation. Young folks are, and should be, alarmed at the pace that grandpa's setting and when they see grandma in army pants and painted up like a peony they blush for the generation that is condemning them. How to reach the old folks is the problem for they embrace the sins the young pity. Arouse, ye young folks. You have a great respon sibility. Throw out the life line for grandma, talk to grandpa and set your mother and father a good example. Unless the young folks can curb the jazz in papa's life and get mother back into three dollar shoes, we might as well get ready to figure the United States among the has-beens, like Rome, Jack Dempesy and calico." Primary Here to Stay. THE great minds of Mr. Mellon and Mr. Vare, of Pennsylvan ia, and of Col. Smith, of Illinois, are likely to be strained somewhat in arriving at an answer to a ques tion lately asked by Senator Bev eridge of Indiana. Mr. Mellon, Mr. Vare and Col. Smith, it will be recalled, advance the piteous plea that corruption is inseparable from the primary sys tem. Pity these poor politicians, forced into buying seats in the Senate by our pernicious primary system. Why, as has been pointed out by one of these high finan ciers, contributing money to be used to buy seats in the Senate is "just like giving . money to a church." But the question Senator Bev eridge would like to have answer ed is: "If the primary was the cause of flooding two states with millions, why did not the same cause produce the same effect in other states?" Senator Beveridge will likely wait a long time for an answer. Mr. Mellon, Mr. Vare and Col Smith favor the old convention system. Under it, politicians with plenty of money and no compunc tion about spending it, could plunk down their cash knowing the bus iness transaction would remain effectually concealed. The primary system has its faults, as has all the other works of human hands and minds but it can hardly be blamed for the high cost of Senate seats in Pennsyl vania and Illinois. Men with more money than morals are to blame for this. Senator Beveridge's question will probably have farreaching results in Indiana. There the foes of the primary are banding togeth er to repeal the law. Senator Beveridge has thrown down the gauntlet to them, and has virtual ly announced that he will again champion the primary system and defeat their carefully concocted scheme, as he did once before.

BtFrank Crane Says THE SOUL HAS ITS WEATHERS SOMETIMES all is bright and serene, and other times it is dark and cloudy. Sometimes it is clear weather and sometimes stormy. As in the case of the winds, of which we know not whence they come nor whither they go, but take their blowing as an act of God and beyond our control, so our moods and tempers seem to arise we know not how. The best we can do is to maintain our poise as much as pos sible and turn toward our ideals when the winds of pessimism and doubt are upon us, and remain as capable as we can. We speak of getting out of bed in the morning with the wrong foot foremost. It is another way of saying that we are in the grip of a mood that is beyond our control. How many acts of our fellows that seem to us malicious ars simply due to the prevalence of some uncontrollable mood in them ? There are some people, thanks be, that are always bright and cheery. One who has this sunny disposition is to be congrat ulated, and even more to be felicitated are those about him. If one can be a point of sunshine in this storm-tossed world he has certainly added much to human well being. The alternation of moods, however, is common to all of us. We should all expect some drak days and resist their influence as much as possible. We can do ver much with our will. Our judgment should tell us the danger of letting ourselves go when "the wind is from the east." We should wait until the times change and not give way to dark humors. It can be ac complished if we are but fixed in our determination to encourage cheerful moods and discourage untoward feelings. We cannot control our feelings, it is true, but by a set pur pose we can make them strengthen us. Community Suicide. PRIDE in one's home town and community should prompt ev ery citizen to spend his money with the local merchant and deal er, regardless of what line he may represent. If the appeal to home pride, which comes to us all when some matter of public interest is brought forth, and there may be a prospect of securing some en terprise for the community, does not extend to the point of giving the home merchant and business man loyal support in buying his wares, the results of community suicide which follow cannot be overcome by any number of pub lic enterprises. Touching this subject, the Elgin Recorder re cently commented: "One of the strangest phenom ena witnessed in most towns and small cities is the apparent eager ness with which many otherwise good citizens contribute to the tendency to commit community suicide. "These citizens will often show uncommon zeal in boosting any movement to obtain civic im provements, to promote the loca- tion of new industries, to secure better educational facilities and so on. Yet many of these same proud boosters will deliberately engage in a practice which nulli Res all their otherwise laudable efforts and wonder why their town doesn t go ahead. "We refer to the suicidal habit of buying away from home. "The enormous growth of the mail order habit in recent years is largely responsible for the fail ure of many communities to make the progress which their natural advantages should make possible. The money that ought to be kept at home for the expansion of local trade and industry is sent away to distant cities, never to return This lifeblood of prosperity is per mitted to ebb away, through the indifference or thoughtlessness of the very persons who should set an example of local pride and loy alty. "A trifling , saving here and there, usually more imaginary than real, is sufficient to cause the average citizen to forget his duty to his community and to himself, which if performed would mean more in the direction of local pros perity than all his other boosting enorts put together. "Why boost in one direction, while committing suicide in an other?" Tariff May be Uppermost. MANUFACTURER. WHILE prohibition and agri cultural relief cannot be kept out of the class of major is sues, the tariff bids fair to become a super-feature 'in the 1928 cam paign. Leaders in both parties threaten to carry the tariff fight into the ranks of the enemy, and suDoort- ers of a protective tariff seem to welcome making it a leading is sue. United States senators who vis ited Europe during the past sum mer, returned declarine for lower tariffs to give European nations a chance to increase importations and pay off their debts to our country. Protectionists deny that lower TH' YOONS TOlKS' LlF i?JsTon6 Round 'o' "PLEASURE tiAY IK AM Clever Tramp. The tramp paused outside the gate. "Clear out!" shouted the lady of the house.

So-called tinkering with the tar iff might be extremely dangerous, as 65 per cent of imports now come in duty-free, nearly one- nair the import duties being to protect the farmer, such duties substantially increasing the prices received for farm products. Une of our greatest interna tional bankers" is authority for the statement that present tariff law, instead of stifline imports. has brought about an increase of 71 per cent since it went into effect. Al Smith of New York inti mates he will not object if asked to run for president. He need not worry over that possibility but the democrats should. The liquor issue is a social question, not a political one. The republican par ty in 1928 will be smart enough to leave the subject alone, save for the adoption of an enforce ment plank. The democrats by naming Smith and thus taking up with the nullification idea would hopelessly split their own party and throw away chances for suc cess. Wet republicans would flock to Smith about as they did to James M. Cox in 1920. East Or egonian. RURAL HEALTH. From State Board of Health. Many things are being suggested for the relief of the farmer. There is, undoubtedly, a gross wastage of human life and loss in human effi ciency in our rural districts. Of all the taxes which burden the farmer few are larger and none so unnec essary as the toll of preventable dis ease. . Cities have, by necessity, provided themselves with adequate health pro tection. Cities, by the application of modern sanitary methods, have re duced their death rates much faster than their supposedly healthy rural neighbors. At present the death rate from many preventable causes is higher in the country than in the cities. As a conservative estimate it may be stated that the burden of sickness and premature death upon the rural districts of this state caused by com municable diseases amounts each year to more than a million dollars Can this burden be lightened, is a question in which we are all Inter ested. It is a well known fact that many of the communicable diseases can be greatly lessened, if not entire ly eliminated. Applied preventive measures by a full-time health department will re duce the number of communicable diseases to a minimum, and will pro mote good health generally. What is the cost in dollars and cents of an adequate rural , health service? Roughly speaking it is about fifty cents per capita. There are now '.early 300 of these units operating in the United States. In the state of Oregon we have five such units. The best investment this state could make would be to make this service available to every county. The general plan in operation pro vides for a full-time trained health officer, two public health nurses, and an office clerk. The duties of the full-time service can be explained by citing the activities of the units op erating in Oregon at the present time. The fundamental feature of the county unit is a campaign of health education. Prompt and vigorous measures against communicable dis eases are carried out. Persons who oie susceptible to tyhpoid, diphther ia, scarlet fever, and smallpox are immunized. Active measures are tak en against tuberculosis and venereal diseases. Particular work Is directed toward eliminating insanitary condi tions. Safeguarding the water sup plies and supervising sanitary meth ods of sewage disposal are among the functions of this department. The health of the children including pre natal, infant and school health work . re given proper consideration. The work of the full-tmie unit is comprehensive and effective. This neans the prevention of premature human deaths, prevention of human iiiness, promotion of good health and conservation of economic resources. There is no other investment of nub- lic funds that gives greater results. For sale, rent or will trade for Portland property, the Wherry place at tieppner. Write to A. C.
