There appears to be no way to require
the trunk lines of Oregon to exchange
traffic with small independent lines on
equitable terms except by legislation.
To that end the Legislature has passed
the Killingsworth bill. There was trou
ble in getting the measure through, be-
cause the great Oregon railroad system
objected to it ; but largely through the
urgency of its author it passed the
House, and it was effectively chain,
pioned in the Senate by Mr. Malarkey.
It is a properjbill, and it will help, per
haps, in the necessary work of building
small railroads throughout the state.—

It is reported upon authority that of
the total number of cattle in the United
States today considerably over half are
what may correctly he called native
scrubs. By this is meant that they are
not even worthy to be called graded,
which term signifies that an animal con-
tains some pure blood of one breed or
another. The total number of pure breds
in the country is extremely low, being
estimated at less than one-fiftieth of the
total qumber of living cattle. The num
ber of grades is estimated at about one-
sixth of the entire bovine population of
the country. This does not look as if
pure bred breeding was being overdone,
orcven as if the time was very near

The state of Kansas, with $400,000,
ami a stiff-backed population, has set
about the task of fighting Standard Oil,
with $100.000,000,000. and tentacles
spreading all over the United States and
foreign countries. The battle between
the Sunflower State and the greatest of
all monopolies and its ultimate outcome
will well be worth watching. Back of
the state of Kansas are powerful influen
ces which have not yet appeared upon the
canvas. The people of that state have
appealed to Thomas W. Lawson, of
Boston,,who has already paid his sar
castic compliments to Standard Oil, to
take the generalship of the fight, but it
is doubtful if he will accept. However,
it is figured he mav be relied upon for
any friendly counsel. In Pennsylvania
there is a powerful independent company
ami it has been asked to join hands in
the battle. An English syndicate with
dazzling capital is said to stand ready
to build a pipe line to the Gulf of Mexico
and thus give Kansas a market for her
oil.

Within the walls of the far-famed
Kremlin Palace nt Moscow, and almost
underneath the historical tower from
which Ivan., the Terrible watched the
heads of his enemies falling beneath the
ax on the famed Red Square and within
a stone’s throw of the great bell of Mos
cow, Grand Duke Sergius, uncle and
brother-in law of Emperor Nicholas,
met a terrible death on Friday after
noon.
The deed was committed bv
a single terrorist, who threw beneath
the carriage of the Grand Duke a bomb
charged with the same high power ex
plosive which wrought Minister von
Plehve's death. The missile was pack
ed with nails and fragments of iron,
and its explosion tore the imperial vic
tim’s body to ghastly fragments, which
strewed the snow for yards around.
Every window in the great lofty fa.
cade of the Palace of Justice was shat
tered and bits of iron were imbedded
deeply in the walls of the Arsenal, a

President Roosevelt said some sensible
words on the race problem for North as
well as South in his Lincoln day address,
The problem as he states it, is to so deal
’’with the man of one color as to secure
him the rights that no one would grudge
him if he were of another color.” He
points out that while the South violates
thi^principle in many ways in its treat
meat of the negro, the North is not al
ways free from blame in its dealings
with the black man as a laborer and a
member of society. What the President
urges is to so adjust the “relations be
tween two races ot different ethnic type
that the rights of neither be abridged
not jeoparded ; that the backward race
be trained so that it may enter into the
possesion of true freedom, while the for-
ward race is enabled to preserve unharm
ed the high civilization wrought out by
its forefathers.” This involves not only
a training ol the black man, but also of
the white man, for it is on the latter, in
the United States, that devolves the
great task of extending the privileges of
freedom and of working out the destiny
of the advanced .civilisation which has
ts home in this country.

Independent Church.
The object of this church is to advance the
gospel, the glad tidings, the good news of
the kingdom of God.
The socialist gives us all that can be con
ceived by an atheist for the betterment of
social conditions.
The doctrine of the kingdom of God, all
that God has in store for those who love
him.
The kingdom of heaven at hand. I want
something now. The socialist tells me that
I will have to wait until they have a
majority. The religionist, until I get to
heaven or until the end of this world.
Thy kingdom come. When ? Now would
suit me best. God is the soverign of the
Church—governmeut and neighborhood, It
is my accountability to God that determines
my worth as a neighbor, a citizen or a mem
ber of the Church. And this is the Important
hsue of the independent church, not to
parley about fancies. God glories in his
kingdom and it is his will that all men be
come subjects to his kingdom.
” The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness
thereof.”
The kingdom of God is the only evolution
from our present condition. God deals with
the rich to whom the poor look for their
daily bread, until they decide to trust in
God. The coal mines, oil wells, forests,
public domain, labor saving implements and
machinery, facilities for
transportation,
waterways, etc., are for the nation that
trust in God’s soverignty, but if we distrust
God, the resources of the nation will be
monopolized by the few’, and obtained by
bribing the people we have entrusted to re
present the interest of the nation. God
ordained that men build homes and raise
natural families to glorify his name and fill
his kingdom. The resources of this earth are
for no other purpose. God holds men ac
countable to their treatment of other men.
• With what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you again.” "He that cometh
toGod must believe that he is, and that he
is a rew’arder of them that diligently seek
him.” The antagonism of the sectarian
churches is obviated by the Independent
Church
Sectarian churches stand on what Chris
tians may differ. The Independent Church
on what all Christians must agree. A father
had a large family of children. He proposed
to make a boquet. He suggested that each
go and gather a bunch of whatever appeared
to him or her the most beautiful kind of
dowers. One chose a rose, another a lilly,
etc., each contending within himself that his
kind was superior. When they came home
no two had the same kind. The father bv
arranging them had a delightful boquet of
the choicest flower*.
Sectarian churches
have one issue that they impress above
everything else. If you go into a Catholic
Church you will see the glory of the cross
above everything.
If a Baptist Church,
baptism, showing forth in the death, burial
and resurrection of Christ . but if in an
Adventist Church, the second coming of
Christ is the central thought.
There arc different ideas of the future home 1
of the redeemed
Some think this earth is to
l»e made a desirable place, while others think
that heaven, where God resides, is the place,
but wherever it is. there is no one but that
will allow that the redeemed will be made
up of Chriatiaqs from every church and they
will have to dwell together throughout
eternity
Methodism. Presbyterianism or
any other ism or ists will have lost its
characteristics. W hy not learn to associate
together in this world »
If ys love not
your brother whom he have seen, how can
you love God whom ye have not seen.
N ho
is my brother but the redeemed.
The Independent Church stands for the
soverignty of God. To become a subject of
his kingdom is but to subscribe to his will.
Just as one would become a subject of Great
Britain by taking the oath of alliegancc to
the King of England, or a Catholic by
alliegance to the Pope
Kvery one will agree that there is a divid
ing hne between the lost and redeemed and
the possibility of both belonging to the
same church and that God alone is the eter
nal Judge We may pass our opinion, but it |
is not infallible, it is left to God to swtain
or reverse.
