to : say he cannot be a Christian is to
confess an inability that be will al
low no one else to eharge him with,
snd to acknowledge tbat a large part
of himself is in subjection - to alien
forces. Granted that' it may not be
an easy matter to lead a tree Christian
life, yet we know that great multitudes
have been true to the Christ amid con
flicts and trials to which' this age; is
wholly a strsnger. ' ! v ;
; lie who uttered the text language
was one of those who' learned in the
bitter school of experience the way of
faithfulness to the Christian life. And
is it not true that he who through fear
or shame fails to take a decided stand
with the moral and religious forces Tf
the community is something less than
a whole roan? Self-possession excludes
moral cowardice. , . "
Multitudes grant the truth, the
beaaty and the power , of .Christianity
and thenj through false, ideas of self -respect
or dignity, throw their life
influence with the forces of evil. Their
self, as taVy prefer it, would be gfven

' Sepublicans: throughout - the state
seem to be in a bad condition of demor-1
alization and almost devoid, of unani-
mity. i one knows what the direct !
primary law will lead to. In fact the i
entire . future of party organization ia
one great question point.
Candidates for every office within
the gift of the people arc springing up !
In every county. It is said that Mult- j
nomah county alone would bewilling ;
to supply the stati? will a full comple-j
ment of officials. Ws are also willing!
to admit that , our county bears within j
its borders a number of Yery capable'
gentlemen who. in all honor and with
every right aspire to Bupply the needs
of the state ia various of thc.o posi
tions. . -' " -
Of conrse it will be evident to every
one that the great centers of population
might easily combine and nominate all
of the candidates for the various state
offices, but the result would be that they
would so dissatisfy tho other portions
of the state that they, would vote . as a
man against the combination 's candi
dates in tho general election. It there
fore seems urgent that if any good is
to come through "Republican success in
the election of 1906 some means must
be arrived at by which this situation
msy be avoided. - -'"'
Of course it is more than likely that
leaders of the Republican party may
gather ' together t in ; small bodies from
time to time to discuss the general sit
uation, but it seems tnat something even
more of a general character than this
is necessary Ja ' order, that this matter
may be generally ; gone over, and it is
barely possible that a meeting of Re
publicans may be called to meet in
Portland ome time during the Lewis
and iark Fair in the fall.
Even with the direct primary law
Republicans must appreciate tbat it
will be impossible for them to work as
a solid body without maintaining their
organization. If Republican principles
are worth maintaining every possible
effort to maintain them should be put
forth by thosfli who believe in them. It
will usually be noted that they who
howl loudest against : voting for -party
and in favor, of voting for the man
only,, are they who consider-but little
the general effect of a fixed policy in
government, or are on the side opposed
to. the majority.
Republican principles, which include
protection to American industries,
maintaining American prestige in the
face of everything throughout the
world, the upholding of the MonroO
doetrine. the improvement of our rivers
and harbors ,; the construction of an
isthmian water way, a proper expansion
through peaceable means of our trade
and commerce and the maintenance of
the credit of the government at the
very highest notch have given to tho
United States forty years of prosperity,
development and growth, the like of
which has never before been seen in the
world. .' ;'l .. - i ..."
Now are these principles worthy of
being continued! If so, is not a main
tenance' of a strong party organization
necessary thereto! ;.y It is now time that
we should ; think 'of these things f or
theseprinciples will not be maintained
by our political opponents

t'ae pathways1 and walks which mean

and the "trail" is beginning to 3e a
busy place. Th architectural de

a very, attractive order, and the fancy
"staff" mouldings are of a,vTy'higb
artistic order. . ' .
The statuary plaeed throughout the
grounds will attract the eye of most
visitors, but the Remington group of
four cowboys at tho entrance is t.ic
most wonderful.
The tout ensemble, of the Lewis and

hopes for the future. It looks . as
though by June first the fair will.be
