mf IN FAVOR
PORTLAND, Or., Dee. 13.-A
tutc institution to replace tlio vuri
ous county pour farms throughout
Oregon was siiKirestcd by Oswald
West, former governor of Oregon,
speaking here today before the an
nual convention of the Association of
County Judges and Commissioners.
"The state could care for the un
fortunates nt about one-half the cost
now being saddled upon the taxpay
ers, and at tho same time offer bet
ter treatment than is given them by
many counties, where little or no pro
vision is inude for their comfort," he
said.
Oregon counties are paying about
$:t.) per month for each indigent, Mr.
West said, whic the inmates of the
Oregon state hospital are enred for
at a cost of about $15 per month.
"Multnomah county has a well-located
and splendidly equipped poor
farm," Mr. West said. "If this could
" be taken over by the state and addi-
tional buildings provided to meet the
demands of increased population, the
taxpayers would be saved."
Juveniles, poor furms, mothers'
pensions and the like occupied the
session this afternoon. Judge T. J.
Cleuton, Portland, who presides over
tho juvenile court, was to talk late
today on "Widows' Pensions," and
was expected to make suggestions for
the betterment of the present state
widows' pension law. "problems In
cident to t are of Children Wards of
the Juvenile Courts'' was the subject
of a discussion to be had following
Mr. West's talk. Kufus C. llohnan,
Portland, Multnomah county com
missioner, president of the associa
tion, delivered the annual "presi
dent's message" today,
CARRANZA AIDE IS
BOMBASTIC IN EDICT
EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 12. General
Arnulfo Gonzales, provisional gover
nor of Chihuahua, declared In his
first proclamation of the people, after
tho reoccupatlon of the city by Car
I ranza troops that he would soon be
ready to join the first chiof In forcing
the retirement of the American puni
tive expedition. . . .....
An original copy, of the printed
- manifesto, which hears the date of
December 6, was brought hero today
from Chihuahua by a refugee.
General Gonzales began his procla
mation by saying that the people have
the right to know the line of action
their governors intend to pursuo
while In office. He continued:
"The state of Chihuahua, In which
the spark of revolution found so pro
, pituous a field and which has always
beon so jealous a defender of the dig
nity and cleanness of its institutions,
giving a proverbial example as a bel
ligerent liberal in sustaining its sov
ereignty and integrity and showing so
great an energy in repulsing any tres
pass on its rights, today must lament
tho disgrace of scelug its sacred soil
desecrated by the proud Saxon troops,
a misfortune that the bandit Villa
caused with his deeds at Columbus.
As these deeds not only Injure the
sovereignty of tho state, but also of
the country, it is to the ccntrol gov
ernment that belongs the solution of
this conflict which treatens ho nation
itself and the responsibilities that
history exacts before the present and
future generations.
The rest of the manifesto Governor-General
Gonzales devotes to pro
mises of educational, financial and
international reforms and of cleaning
out the rebels "who persist in their
errors."

The Drift of Science
By T. E. Scantlin
So man)- useful gifts can be bought
at the Closing Out Sale at a big sav
I'lng. Ahrens.
, (Conclusion)
Theology is defined as the "Science
of God," but scholastic theology,
orthodoxy and ritualism all ossified
thought, tho intellectual stand-patters,
have conspired to befuddle mor
tals with a tangled web of philoso
phy and that begins no where, gets no
where, and all along its troubled
course studiously avoids everything
that looks like common sense. In
their despair, and in their deep dis
gust with childish ghosh stories about
an enenthropomorphic God, a god of
human attributes and characteristics,
It not of human form, an ever swell
ing throng of thinking men and
women posessing neither chart or
compass, have drifted tar out upon
tho troubled sea of agnosticism and
atheism and are
"As a weed, flung from a rock
On Ocean's crest to sail.
Where e're the surgo may sweep,
Tho tempest's breath prevail." .-.
The drift of science Is Godward.
Mind is tho only attraction, the only
law, for, resolved to Its ultlmato
analysis, God is spiritual law, and
man, being tho manifestation or ex
pression of that law, Is spiritual con
sciousness. Science and religion,
rightly understood, are one and the
same, for science is ascertained truth,
knowledge of ultimate principle and
Its laws. Religion is faithful obedi
ence to the laws of God, who is the
only principle, cause or substance of
the universe, that "substaneo of
things hoped for." There is, there
can be no science that leaves omnipo
tence, omniscience and omnipres
ence out of tho reckoning, or seeks
to divide the all with any supposed
part thereof; or to crowd the Infinite
into the finite. Matter may seem
real, but "there ain't no such ani
mal.' All there really is of man is
"consciousness" and consciousness is
neither in nor of matter nor indeed
can be. A mortal man is but the
"two and two are five" ot tho lazy
school boy. Neither he nor the visi
ble universe was created by spirit,
God, for God's universe is good and
eternal and can no more perish than
God can perish. Tho material scien
tists admit that matter is doomed to
destruction, Were a single iota of
God's creation to perish, that mo
ment would God cease to bo inrinito,
and therefore cease to be God. Like
cannot produce its unlikeness and
matter was neither created by spirit,
nor self-created. It Is but a mirage,
a misstatement of mind, a reversal of
the truth of being; a stato and stage
of consciousness, and has no reallty
savo as we give it reality. When the
wold fully recogni7.es this fact, and
acknowledges it, there will this "mor
tal put on immortality," and the old
(material) heavens and tho old (ma
terial) earth will pass away, and tho
now (spiritual) heavens and tho
new (spiritual) earth appear, and the
Fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man bo established forover.
God Is good, and good alone is con
structive. The law of God Is the law
of good. Evil, the antithesis of good,
s Irrevocably destructive In Its nature
and instinct, the denial of good;
to behold evil," is not both good and
evil, nor capable of producing evil or
matter, or of tolerating them. It is
its nature to destroy anything and
everything unlike itself. Evil is igno
rance, a mere negation, in everything
unlike truth; and; if spirit, lod, Is
truth, as the Bible doclares, and the
antithesis of matter, then matter is
evil, and that state of consciousness
which recognizes matter and evil Is
according to the degree ot its boliet,
an uniformed, an Ignorant state of
consciousness. Its only escape from
that deplorable condition is the one
prescribed by tho very founder of
Christianity, viz; "Ye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you
free." God's unlverso is tho omnl
presont, spiritual manifestation or ex
pression of Himself and His idea. He
knows no other. "He that dwelloth
In tho secrot placo of the most high
shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty." T. E. SCA.NTL1N.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD
Get a small jmckugo of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as tlio Gorman folks
call IVIIainburgpr Bruit Thw," at any
pharmacy. Take a tahloapoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water Upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during tho
day or before retiring. It Is tho most
effective vay to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opena tlio pores of the skin
relieving congestion. Also loosens tho
bowels, thus driving a cold from th
system. -
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore aafa
and harmless.
