PRANKS OF A QUEER MINK.
THE ORKOONIAN Sunday, in an
editorial with tho aliovo headline,
takes tho Capital Journal to task
for a littlo squiblet which reads:
"Mayor Rushlight of Portland,
takes his defeat philosophically and con
gratulates Mr. Albeo, his successful op
ponent, who was elected by a handsome
majority In Hpito pf the support of the
Oregonian." Our oontemporary says
it was in an amiable mood and being
content to let results speak for them
selves proceeds to speak for thorn In
stead. Suggesting reasons why the lit
tle sqnib waa written, the big and only
big paper in the state, in ita own opin
ion, speaking of the Capital Journal
editor, says:
"Perhaps ho hoped to be noticed by
the Oregonian. Well ho will bo no
ticed." The Oregonian also says that its feel
ings are not hurt, and accuses the
Capital Journal of mendacity, Biid while
accusing tho Capital Journal editor of
state at large, and instead of even
showing a decent regard for the opin
ions of others, which were at least en
titled to resctful consideration, the
big Wo of the Oregonian have always
referred to all not agreeing with them
as "little," "contemptible," "country
editor," and such other contemptuous
terms as it chose to sit upon and
squelch us little 'small-fry engaged' in
runniiig newspapers outside of Port
land. It is this "ipse dixit" disposi
tion and policy that has left its polical
editorials with no metal in front of the
powder, hence having no effect except
in tho way of making a noise and dis
turbing the peace.
It says the Capital Journal editor is
mendacious. Well, we have confessed
to reading the Oregonian for forty
years, and constant dropping will wear
a stone, so we may have become inocu
lated in a small way with the Orego
nian 's chronic disease. However, if tbo
big paper will send some unbiased per
son out among the common poople, to
inquire along this line, it will find there
being "very littlo" says: "Ho whojnro hundreds, who in voting, once they
through any motive of malice or envy
seeks to tnko a cubit from another's
tat ure will find his effort appraised at
ita actual worth which is nothing or less
than nothing," Accepting the profound
find how tho Oregonian stands, vote the
other way. We aro not saying this is
either wiso or proper, but we insist it
is true.

and pounding the unresisting keys of
his typewriter, imagines he is punching
the poor little intellectual runt who
edits the Capital Journal, in the solar
plexus and putting him down and out
not only for the count, but forever.
And all this because the Capital Jour
nal pointed out a fact that every one
except the editorial bunch of the Orego
nian knows to be true. Instead of in
quiring into this for its own informa
tion and betterment, tlie queen rose in
the Oregonian 's .bouquet of editorial
roses, hands the bunch including him
self this modest and diffident little
nosegay: ,
"For the world would be vastly less
diverting, after all, if such fellows
were to be cut off in the full flower of
their irresponsible mendacity and in
stinctive repulsion for all the influences
of truth, light, honesty and beauty."
Evidently this applies to tho editorial
staff, whose Krsonality is now known.
Truth, Light, Honesty, and Beauty. We
recognize the latter as Tom the Piper's
son, but the others need an intepreter.
Anyway we submit that as a specimen
of mutual admiration worthy of em
balming, the above is entitled to first
choice.
We can assure the Oregonian that our
feelings aro not hurt, either. On the
contrary we, in true Christian spirit,
recommend to the Oregonian editorial
bunch that hereafter, instead of admir
ing themselves in a single mirror where
they can only see their own lovable and
lovely countenances, and study the phe

editorial staff, and he speaks advisedly
when ha reiterates the statement con
cerning tho Oregoulnn'a support.
The Oregonian is ono of tho greatest
newspapers in tho United States. As a
purveyor of news it has few equals and
no superiors, anywhere. It covers the
field to far as news is concerned, and
the field is the world, lu dishing up its
political news, however, it has been ac
cused often of not playing fair, and of
eoloring its stories to suit circum
stances. Wo say this accusation is
inn, In, because wo want to make a fair,
unbiased statement of what our opin
ion, and wo believe the generally ac
cepted one, of the paper is.
Kditorinlly the Oregouian under Tom
Drver was phenomenally strong. He
vey Scott buried the hatchet, he was
beaten, and had a close call for the
penitentiary besides.
Tho Oregonian opposed Pennoyer for
governor, and he was elected though a
Democrat, and in a strong Republican
slate. It opposed Chamberlain and he
was elected governor, twice. It oppos
ed West, and he was niado governor, all
Democrats in a strongly Republican
state, and we may add as a prophecy
that if it continues to roast West, it
will re elect him.
With all its great power othorwise, it
was unablti to keep llowerman from
overwhelming defeat. At tho last city
election in Portland, it supported Si
mon, who even witn tno prestige ot
having been in the United States sen
ate, waa easily defeated by Rushlight.
Are theso all coincidences! Are they
just political accidents! With an over
whelming Republican majority, is it
just an accident that this slate has two
Democratic United States senators and
a Democratic governor! We may be

Wise men make proverbs and

Put wise guvs uso the referen
dum. The referendum law is well intended,
but unfortunately is so worded that the
political highwayman is armed and
equipped to hold up any law that does
not suit him, and his act as made legal.
The law can be and no doubt will be
amended so as to do away with this
feature. An amendment requiring that
all referendum, initiative and recall pe-
tions shall be filed with the county
clerk, that all persons desiring to sign
them go to the clerk's office, that no
one bo permitted to circulate a petition
or pay for or receive pay for securing
names to any such petition will make
tho law of use to the citizen rather than
to the political highwayman.

A WISE SENATOR.
EXATOR LAN'E of Oregon has
been on the witness stand in the
congressional investigation into
the president s charges that
there was an army of lobbyists
in Washington fighting the tariff bill.
The senator said he waa "principally
interested in the tariff on wheat, oats,
barley, flax, and potatoes, which are
disastrously affected by the tariff."
If this is an evidence of the knowledge
of the tariff and of Oregon products
possessed by our junior senator, he cer
tainly has not even reached the kinder
garten class and is still in the nursery.
Wheat, oats, and barley are all ex
ported by Oregon, not imported, nor
could they be, with any profit, for our
market on these products is outside of
the state. As for potatoes; well, when
they were piled up in the streen,
sacked, as they were in Vancouver re
cently, and anyone who wanted could
have them for hauling them away, it
is evident the foreigner who would uu
ed to sign it, what it was for and what dertuke to ship potatoes to Oregon
measure their name would be attached would be out his potatoes and his
little string. Realize the selflmpor

CHUECH ADVERTISING.
The question as to whether or not
churches should use paid advertising
space has been long discussed, has been
answered in the affirmative, ami one
church in Salem is now using a small
amount of newspaper space in its ap
peal for increased attendance.
Once the pastors nave accepted the
press as a proper means. of conveying
their invitations to the public, thev
should realize that to use newspaper
display Bpaee advantageously thoy must
j use the methods which have made that
space valuable to other enterprises.
Many of our most prominent clergy
men elsewhere believe that the press
I is a proper and profitable medium for
paid church publicity; but they are not
j positive as to how copy should be writ
ten. I quote the . following from ai
address delivered by Mr. Jas. A. Wood,
a member of the Seattle Ad club:
"The true purpose of church work
h to reach the hearts of men, to get
them into a better way of living ami
to keep them there. The build
, ing of a church is to bring people to
, gether; the surroundings, the cerc
! monies, the music, are designed to ap
; peal to those assembled so as to bring
them into proper frame of mind to re
, ceive the lessons of the Scriptures, the.
prayers and the sermon of the preacher,
j "The first essential in this sequence
of effort is to get the people to church,
there to be impressed and to be taught.
Getting people to church is, in some
' respects, like getting them anywhere
j else. There are always the loyal hands
' of church workers, the faithful follow
ers who can be depended upon; but
, there are many others who will not fo
i to church except they know something
about wha they will find when they
; get there. There is just one way to let
them know, and that is by advertising.
"Tho first form of church advertis
ing, of which, as Dr. Major said the
other day, Philip was the original ex
ponent, is advertising by word of
mouth. The greater number of th
churches are advertised in this way by
their members and loving friends, and
until recent years they have dependc!
altogether on this sort of advertising.
Then came preachers of such power
and thought as to compel attention be
yond the limits of their congregation!,
and finally, not so long ago, came
newspaper recognition of tho element
of news value in what some of tht
preachers had to say from their pulpiti
"Other preachers were not slow it
seeking similar recognition; congrega
tions gradually came to look upon it u
a right and to show resentment if their
pastor was too long overlooked by the
press. Some preachers and this ii
said without criticism, for it was the
humanly natural result got then
selves into the practice of talking more
for general publication than for the
effect upon those who heard then
speak. And so were brought about
present conditions, when nearly evert
newspaper of size in the country mwt
give wide space to formal advsnf
notices of what is to happen in tl'
churches and to reports of sermoM
from various pulpits. All this haj be
free to the churches, but given st grf!
aggregate of cost to the newspapers.
"The tremendous extent to whifi
this free publicity for the churches to'
developed is due to recognition of uV
fact within the churches themselvf
and among those responsible for th'
financial welfare that publicity '
necessary if they are to increase tin'
attendance and their revenues. Tt'
