"Also, can we get some dairymen
near there to bring us enough Milage
every day to feed our eatllo stuff?
If that can be arranged we shall not
have to break them over onto beot
pulp. Could you call someone up and
get us a price on this?"

RELIGIOUS FAITH IS
"A union of church and state has
been the cause of more trouble, suf
fering and bloodshed than the great
world war of 1914."
This was a statement made by the
speaker yesterday at the tent near
tho city park.
Mr. Thurston claimed the "gospel
by force" Idea is not the true gospel
of Jesus Christ. Ho stated that "no
law, rlvll or divine, can make a sin
ner righteous." If sinners can be
and are made righteous by law,
Christ did not need to die upon Cul
vury." . .
After giving several scriptural texts
i in proof that tho church was given
the "word and the Holy Spirit for
her weapons," and that with these
she wins her battles against evils of
this world, ho declared "Christ never
gave his church a sword of steel, but
ho id tell Peter to put up his
sword, when he attempted to defend
Ills Lord."
In part tho speaker said, "When
tho apostles had all passed away, the
church gained in numbers. During
the first three centuries, three mil
lion were put to death by tho Pagan
Home. A large part of the church
then left the plain teaching of tho
word of Clod, and lost the power1 of
the. Holly Spirit1.' She forsook the
'sword of the' spirit given by her
Lord. Having lost her heavenly
power, she sought and , gained tho
civil power. This was accomplished
in a largo measure by .means of Sun
day legislation. :
"The church of that plan was not
to' give men physical rest. First, the
, law forbade. hiborrjNcxt pjay was for
M bidden. A mail could' neither .work
nor play. It Is plain that tho Whole
plan was to compel people to go to
church. This was done lateri by civil
law. With a union of church and
state, tho world was filled with woe
for twelve hundred and sixty long,
dreary years.
"Tho American idea Is that tho
dictates of conscience are sacred.
The only limit is that a man shall re
spect tho equal rights of his neighbor.
"We have been prosperous and
happy for near a century and a half
under our constitution which was
made to protect every citizen. Be
fore congress three Sunday bills have
been placed. Many petitions have
been sent out by church people, urg
ing; congress to pass these measures;
"When America shall have a union
of church and state . by, means, of
Sunday legislation, there will be nn
exttct Image of what' was; produced in
tlio-ihird;(i.i)d fourth centuries.' Christ
sal(j 'My klngdonj, is ' riot of' tltlB

unanimous.

used to It," he said. "But I do object
to ..the actions of thoso who picked
my opponent."
, Ono might have heard a pin drop
Uhe convention floor. Delegates
breathlessly awaited what threatened
to .be an injection of bitter person
alities into tho fight. Codding's face
was set and grinirM'- r ' ! .
".They picked too darned good a
mail," he concluded, and applauBO
roared out. "I do not know a man
lo 'K5nv I ;vbld rather lose than
George Wilbur."-- -

BIG FISH CAUGHT IN
J. H. Neiboyer and Henry Woolf
and families were camping on the
Rogue about a mile south of the

the week end. Sunday morning Mr.

pounds and dressed 31 pounds, also
a steel head ' that weighed 1

Agnes Ayres Coming.
A play that has? nover failed to
thrill American audiences, Is George
Broadhurst's "Bought and Paid For.'
And now the William de Mlllo screen
version of it, which comes to the
Pago theatre tomorrow matinee for
a four-days' engagement, probably
will thrill them even more effectively.
So well known Is tho story of this
popular play that to1 repeat it seems
quite superfluous. It need only be
said that the picture follows the story
of the play with faithful exactitude,
diverting only In those v' slight in
stances where divprsion meant bet-
torment, i
For its direction, the picture could
not have been in abler hands than
those of William de Mille. Heading a
popular cast . are the popular, stars
Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt, each pos
sessing a .creditable host .of laurels
In .their support arc such favorites as
Walter Hiers, the rotund comedian,
Leah Wyant and George Kuwa.
"The BcnrcatM nt RJnlto.
Hoot Gibson didn't get enough ex
citment out of winning the world's
championship in cowboy stunts - in
several rodeos, so he went into the
gentle death game of auto racing.
When that palled he went, into pic
turps for a real thrill, '
"Tho Bearcat," now at the Tllalto
theater, is his latest combination of
nerve and acting. It is a film drama
of the West in tne part where ff'ins
are still popular and sneaks highly
unpopular.
