here assisting in a revival meeting
heme: hold nt the M. K. church, South.
Kev. Elliott in nddrc.SMiij his aud
ieiico last nijiht said he was not here
to .scold and harmed them about their
lnisines-s or the way they wore living,
but was hero to touch their heart
and literally break them to pieces if
it. wero necejury to let the love of
his blessed Jcmis in. He aid he vrn-
Koiiig to tell them of that blessed
book the Rihle the love of a snerifie
iiiff, forgiving God, then leave to
them and the dictate of their coii
bcicneo as to whether they wero living
right or not.
Tlio nitric His Subject.
lie averted the Ibble louche every
possible condition of hmrinii life anil
that no question of ancient or modern
times is without .solution in tho book,
yet thousands never think of consid
ering the biblcfor conduct other than
religion, or as prescribing rules for
earthly success.
The audience paid the closest at
tention to tho speaker all the way
through. In his closing appeal he
held every enr and eye like a magnet
ns ho held tho blcss-ed ohKbook, his
mothers llibla tip us thu only thing
in the world lo die by and told the
story of a good mother who was
n Sunday .school teacher and on
Cliriitmas e-jc prepared two little
golden .haired blue eyed boys for bed,
hung up their stockings by the fire
place for n, sack of candy from Santa
Clans. But he did not come they
didn't care for about midnight their
precious mother was stricken and the
father called them from their little
trundle bed saying, "Come in, chil
dren, mother is going." They said
"Going where?" But he rushed both
to the side of his dear wife and when
they came in and saw the Bible lay
ing on their mother's breast. One
asks, "What's the matter, father, did
the Bible kill mother?" lie burst into
tear aud said, "Xo, my child." But
when mother came to die she turned
to father and said, "Hund me mv
book." He said, "Whut book?" She
says "There is one book only for n
dying mother. Hand me the Bible,
will you." Father was crying but ho
went and got raother'.s old Biblo and
fho snys, "Husband, my eyesore set
ting in death, open my Bible" at the
14th chapter of John." Father op
ened it on mothers breast. "Now,
husband," take my hand and put my
finger on the firt verse of that chap
ter." Then she smiled mid said, "I
nm dying, but bring up my children
to believe this book; it bus made me n
good wife for you and a good mother
ior your children. I'lonuse me, oh,
promise me, und let my children kh-
me before 1 am cold in death." And
he held two little boy, up, one seven
and one nine, and they kissed their
mother good-bye. Then she said,
"My husband, here aro tho words for
you where you uloced my finger, 'Let
not your heart be troubled, neither let
it bo afraid.' I am not afraid to die,
for the Biblo has comforted mo all
my life. Good-bye my husband."
And he laid his cheek against hers
ami said "Good-byo my precious
wife," and her spirit took'its 1 light.
Oh, sinner, let mo plead with you
tonight, you can follow nothing bet
ter Hum this book, dear old precious
book, mother's book, conic to it to
night mid believe.
Much interest was manifest at the
close and many hourlss touched.

MAN
SELLING
IN SPTT13 of all the stuff printed in his behalf, the sick
ening sycophantic slush written in his praise by his
paid press bureau and printed at so much per, nol a sin
gle adequate reason has been adduced as to why Ben
Selling should be sent to the lTnited Slates senate.
Boiled down, Mr. Selling is simply a successful busi
ness man with the acquisitive instinct for which his race
is noted admirably developed. His oouiwe in the legisla
ture proved him narrow in the extreme, lie helped kill
the normal schools and fought the Crater Lake road and
many another meritorious measure. Posing as a progres
sive, he heads the Taft committee.
On the other hand, there
'"I gressiveness of Joimthuii Kourno, nor any question of his
standing. Afore appropriations have been secured for
Oregon since he has been in the senate than ever before.
Tlis influence is shown bv his committee assignments.
Bourne is chairman of the important senate committee
on postofficcs and post roads, passing on appropriations
aggregating $;00,000,000 every year, is second in rank on
the fisheries committee, is fourth on the commerce com
mittee, handling river and harbor appropriations, and a
member of public buildings and grounds committee, a
member of the appropriations committee, committee on
railroads, transportation, etc.
It would take a new senator ten veal's to secure com
mittee places of equal value to those held by Bourne. His
bill for $642,000 for Crater Lake park improvement has
been favorably reported and success litis crowned his
efforts in many other measures, lie has made good, his
honesty and ability are unquestioned and it would be
worse than folly to substitute Selling for Bourne.
THE CANCER AFFLICTING THE NATION.
THJS paper is in receipt
American Cane Growers association ifgainst plac
ing sugar upon the free list, and calling for aid in fighting
the proposed tariff reduction.
"Putting sugar on the free list, at this time, can have
but one effect, and that is to destrov the industrv in the
United States. To reduce the present duty, would leave
the producer without any margin of profit and thereby
discourage the production and ultimately compel its aban
donment,'' bewail the sugar kings in their heart-rending
Sugar production is another one of those infant indus
tries that have created multi-millionaires at the expense
of the people.
It is declared in the circulars sent out that .0,000 men
are employed during the cultivating season and (50,000
men during the harvesting and grinding season.
The history of sugar shows that, like other tariff bene
ficiaries, a few have been enriched, made extreiuc.lv
wealthy, while the many employes, mostlv Louisiana
negroes, get barely enough to exist upon.
But even if the bonus secured bv means of the tariff
was proportionately divided among the 30,000 to 00,000
workers, is it right to force a hundred million people to
pay excessive price for a staple of life, in order that a few
may profit?
The same wail is made by every protected industrv.
It is declared wrong to have encouraged tin industrv bv
protection, and then after capital has been invested, with
draw the protection. It was wrong to extend the protec
tion in the first place and equally wrong to maintain it.
Protection simply enables the payment of excessive
dividends. "Workmen do not profit bv it, though buncoed
for years by the pretense that it aided them. The Law
rence strike showed pretty plainly what share of the ex
cessive protection given woolen goods was received bv
the operatives.
The cancer afflicting the government of the United
States, the cause of our governmental ills, is special privi
lege, or as La toilette puts it, "the encroachment of the
powerful few on the rights of the mam'," tho consequent
diversion of the earnings of the nianv into the pockets
of the few.
The protective tariff is one of the means to this end.
It is fundamentally wrong and should be abolished. In
dustries can and must stand
those not protected have to.
FIELDS' CANDIDACY.
TN HIS statement published in the state voters' pam
A phlet, Frank S. Fields, candidate for secretary of state,
savs:
"I want to tell yon ritrht
sends a letter to every voter violates the corrupt practices
act. Jt costs about $3000 for one letter. The law allows
mo to spend 075, and I am going to stay within that
limit. I also want to tell yon that the candidate who says
the money is being spent by a friend in his behalf is jug
gling with the truth, f am blessed with several good
friends but 1 do not know any who would go into their
pockets to any considerable extent for me."
j ec circulars are Doing sent out in Mv. Fields' behalf
to voters attacking his opponent. These circulars are in
themselves a violation of the corrupt practices act which
requires such statements signed, in that they are unsigned
and anonymous not only illegal but cowardly. .
Who is paying for these cowardly circulars, if Air.
Fields isn't? And if some friond is, My. Fields is certainly
"juggling with the truth" in his published statement.
We know that Mr. Fields, according lo tho Portland
Telegram, saved some of the $b7f) allowed for expenses by
sending out his election cards along with the county
notices to his deputies, at the county's expense, hut he
couldn't have saved enough to pay for these defamatory
circulars.
Mr. Fields has served as county dork of Multnomah
county five terms. He was elected unon a flnt wilm-v
yet (luring Ins entire term has

is no doubt about the pro
of a pathetic wail from the
upon their own merits
as
here that n enndidntr
who
pocketed tho interest from
MTTOFOOT, OKKOON,
3rr
county funds in his custody. In his campaign pledges he
agreotl to serve for the flat salary was it right that he
should grab this money also, which really belonged to
the people f
If ho was elected secretary of state, would Air. Isolds
pocket tho interest from funds in his possession as he has
done in Multnomah county And do the taxpayers of the
state want such an official?
