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.

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

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

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.

THE HAPPY MAN.
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.

ist movement, with headquarters in

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. In striving to enforce those laws hero and
