Phone Main 82. LABOR IS GOD'S FIRST LAW. THE Biblo tolls us tint when tho world wa9 made God labored six days, nnd resting saw that His work was good and blessed it. Hore we have the statoment that labor was tho first thing of which any record is made. Certain of those on whom Fortune has "smiled" look with illy concealed contempt On the man who labors with his hands, and yet since God, tho supreme mc-chanie, labored with hand and brain, is it beneath Humanity! "(Sod moves in a mysterious way His wonders to per form," and the thought has often come to ns that knowing the weaknesses and contrariety of man that He bad purposely forbidden him "to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge" foreseeing that he would disobey, and that in this way He would give to man tho last and greatest blessing, the gift of labor. Man may have been put out of the Garden of Eden for disobedience, but when Adam, defying death, reached forth his hand -and plucked and ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge, he carried out the will of God and obtaining tho gift of knowledge, became Oodlike. The power to create is the gift that lifts him above the brute and places' him that much nearer God. Is the me chanic not a "creator! As under his hands grow the delicate works of the watch, the ponderous engines that drive the magnificent steamships across the ocean, or the complicated machinory, children that his brain "labored and brought forth," with which he toars apart the continents and joins the oceans is he not indeed a creator! Is he not a creator who lovels the hills, xpans the streams, and with bands of steel unites that which is far apart nnd annihilates space! Is he not a creator who hows out the forest, wakes tho sleeping earth and makes it labor for man's sustenance! Is he not God like who controls" he earth, who makes it yield up its billowing fiolds of grain that turn to gold and furnish broad for all the world! Who makes tho rock-ribbed hills blossom with orchadrs and fills the air with porfume, tho livino fragrance that God himsolf first made in Taraclise? Painter and mechanic, poot and fanner, labor skilled or unskilled, all are creators, all part of the groat machine God uses to carry out His designs, all God 's tools and instruments to carry man on to that grent end for which he has dostinod him. ; Labor, employment for hand and brain, is God 's greatest and best gift to man, and it is supremely fitting that we Bhould each year, as wo do today lay aside our usual occupations, and refraining from labor emphasize its import ance and do honor to its grandeur. Without the divine gift of labor, tho ability to croate, the desire to advanco and to learn still nioro of that "tree of knowledge," the fruits of which wero so grandly taken despite tho fear of death, just as God intended thoy should be taken, we should be companions of the brutes, and tho world would bo 'f :ot as at first "without form," nt least, void. THIS MAYOR WANTS MORE INFORMATION. AYOR JONES, of Oregon City, is a man of a methodical turn of mind, and one who is anxious to be certain that he is right before taking action. Recently the matter of forbidding the wearing of "X-Ray" gowns on tho streets was suggested to him, and he modestly asserted that he was not well enough informed on tho subject to act intelligent ly. He expressed a willingness to be shown, but intimated that he would have to be fully informed and shown all tho evils of the dress, if there were Buch, boforo he would interfere. He admits that the skirts that he has seen, or to be exact, has seen through, have so far disclosed nothing objectionable, and that so far as he can boo, while they may not indicate a fine taste on the part of the wearers, there is nothing in them at which any one can take offense. Wo have made this statement op tho authority of the Enterprise, which is generally correct, and it advances the idea that the mayor is determined to view the subject from every anglo and to beeomo thorouglily informed on the object beforo reaching a final conclusion. According to the truthful nnd careful Enterprise, tho mayor is rather favorably impressed with what ho has seen of tho gowns, but admits that there might be cases where the wearer might make them appear undesirable. Anyway tho mayor's action is careful nnd considerate, and his determination to understand tho subject in all its as pects before condemning it is highly commendable. elsewhere in the state the governor of Oregon is complying with his oath of office. Doing so ho needs no apologists or defenders. If there are people who do not like'our laws on the subject of bawdy houses and who believe the laws should permit and not prohibit organized prostitution and degradation they should go before the next legislature with a bill of their own proclaiming that virtue is a mistake and that vice is what is wanted. East Oregonian. : i ! That meeting Friday night to discuss the flax proposition was not so well attended as it should have been, but it made up in enthusiasm for what it lack ed in numbers. It is time that those in Salem who derive the greatest benefits from the growth of the city take a hand in assisting in this growth. If they do not care to put money into any of these propositions, they should at least at tend the meetings and keep posted on what is going on. Salem has a number of good citizens who have retired from ousiness. rnese snoum rememuer mey ka.-A aJu in;,-ai f.nm tmainoaa nnd that thpv Are nor. retired from the world. They are not yet either dead or buried, and should still take an interest in the ity where they have accumulated their wealth, and where they expect to live so long as they do live. Health Commissioner Dr. G. B. Young, of Chicago, says kissing is not dan gerous. This may be true from the Doctor's viewpoint, the medical tide, but the average layman knows better. Kissing is the most dangerous occupation in the world. John the Baptist lost his head over a dancing bout, but kissing has changed the maps of the world time and time again. Some women are surely slow to anger. Sixteen years ago a husband slap ped his wife's face. Did she get mad! Well, not in a hurry. She just took time to weigh the act deliberately, and after mature consideration and sixteen years, she felt real angry and brought suit for divorce. Colonel Miller has found a lot of fossil shells that he is not able to classi fy, they beiiij different from any before discovered. Maybe they are the pre historic remaius of that old Oregon "mossback" of whom wo have all heard so much. The Oregonian is a groat newspaper, but with all its greatness, it will never bo able to make tho news of tho day fit its editorial columns. Many newspn pors have tried this, but none has succeeded. The converse is true, that tho editorial must conform to the news facts to carry weight. Wo have the Oregonian 's statement for it that Europe is laughing up its sleeve at Wilson's diplomacy. Our big contemporary seems to be joining in the European hilarity.

TUB HArriKST MAN In tho world is tho common, every-day chap, who make his own living, pays his own bills and has tho respect of his neighbors, He does not try to get a comer on the looal output and he is not a slave to ambition or society. He never expects to wear out his trousers in the seat, and when he glides out of bed in the morning ho never wastes any time trying to pick out tho right kind of socks, suspenders and necktie that will blend with tho general effect. He only wears a high collar when he feels like it. Ho never has to sit up t night to poultice his conscience. Ho believes in tho doctrine of livo and let live. When ho encounters one of tho needy he doesn't stutter with tho pocket book. The plain plug of a man is happy because he is satisfied, and he doesn't upend half of his time yearning for something his Hilary will not permit him to buy. Give us more plaiu men and the world will be better. Woodburn Tribune, again upon the adoption of the report of the actions' committee, as the exec utive committee is known. The dream of the prncticals, who are in control of the congress, is the colonization of Palcstino by the Jews as a nucleus for the ultimate formation and organiza tion of an autonomous if not an inde pendent Jewish state. The practicals believe they are thus carrying out the promise and prophecy of Holy Writ. The politicals, on the other hand, head ed by Dr. Max Nordau of Paris, oppose this idea as visionary and fantastic and stand mther for the unifiod and con certed action on the part of Zionists to secure safeguards and equal priv ileges and opportunities for the Jews in countries where they are still more or less oppressed. The report of tho actions committee on tho ralestino movement, together with the fact that tho majority of tho delegates are from Russia and Eou- mania, who sec little hope of anything being achieved in those countries by tho politicals, it was believed will fur ther strengthen the hold of the prac ticals on the congress. The Jewish Colonial Trust company, the financial instrument of tho Zion ist movement, with headquarters in London, hns a capital of 100.000.00fi. of which $l,!l"i0,000 has been paid in. of which are divorce cases, Ihoro are 110,000 shareholders all over the world. A second financial oriran- ization is the Jewish national fund. ABOUT COMMERCIALIZED VICE. THK 8VM.IKCT of commercialized vice Is not a two sided question and it is nothing to quibble about. Commercialized vice is an abominable thing and tlue who try to break it up are riht. It Is a rancor and if allow ed to go unchecked it will in timo destroy tho social body. This is tho view of sound-minded people who dominate the affair of this nation and of this state. This view is reflected in the I'uited States law against white slavery and in our stuto laws against bawdy houses and the use of build in gn for bawdy house purposes.
