It was expected that he would lecture tonight and Sun day night, but circumstances compelled his cancelling those dates. He prom ised to again visit Salem when oppor tunity offered, and to again favor us with one or more of his splendid dis counts. Tho big church contained a goodly audience, but not the number that should have been there. No more entertaining or instructive lectures were ever heaid in the city, and if the bishop again visits us he will surely have, packed pews at all his lectureB. He spoke last night on "Socialism and Capitalism," and many who had erroneous ideas as to the real meaning of socialism had those mistalien ideas corrected, and went home thinking just as did the lecturer, that names amount to but little and that results are all. If a thing is right it is right whether labeled socialism, democracy, republi canism or anything else. If it is wrong then it is whong regardless of name. He pointed out that socialism, not the party but the broad idea of the word as applied to the care and holp of all fur each and each for all, has made vast strides without our realizing it. Cities own their waterworks and light ing plants in many cases. Some have taken over the street railways, and in Germany nearly all have done so. Tho government has practically taken over the express business and the result is the stfme or better service at about half the former cost. It will take over the telegraph and telephone systems, and thnt it will take control of the Alaskan system of railroads and perfect it is almost a certainty. Knch of these things as accomplished hfls led to still furthor entrauce into the field of government ownership. From this time on tho principle of so cialism will lie extended rapidly and no man can forseo tho stopping place short of practically complete own ership by tho pcoplo of all public utili ties, the control of food supplies, and above and more than nil tho control and limitation of tho accumulation of apitnl. To Better Condition of Poor. The condition of tho poor will be bettered and no man will bo allowed to accumulate vast fortunes as they do now, and lor which they navo no uso. The graduated income and inheritance tax systems will bo used to accomplish this. It is as criminal to permit one to take vast amouuts of tho earth's pro ducts thnt he cannot uso, ns It 1b to deprive others of tho necessnries of life. In short tho idea is advanced that it is as criminal to overfeed a mon as it is to starve him. This Is hardly a synopsis of the bishop's talk, for ho covered a wide rnngo that can only be tuld Viv repenting it in full. MAY SEEK PLACE AGAIN UNITED PRESS LEA 8 ID WIRI. Portland, Fob. 7. T. T. Geer, ex governor of Oregon, is considering ser iously becoming a candidate for the re publican nomination for governor at the coming primary election. He expects to decide definitely within the next ten days or two weeks. "Up to the last month' Baid Mr. Geer yesterday, "I had given no thought to the possibility that I might enter the race Of late, however, I have been urged by my friends to be come a candidate and have received a number of letters asking me to run. I have it under serious consideration, but have not reachod a decision." Mr. Greer was governor from 1S99 to 1903. He was succeeded by George E. Chamberlain, Democrat and present I'litted States Senator. He is a pio neer of Oregon. Another Democrat Another possible aspirant for tho Democratic nomination for Governor is discussed in the person of H. G. Stark weather of Milwaukee. Mr. Stark weather is prominent in stato grange circles, aswell as in the Democratic party. He was a representative of the grange on the committee that framed the workmen's compensation act. Wore he. to run he would make the fifth Democratic contestant for the nomination. The four who have bo far announced themselves are Dr. C. J. Smith, personal choice of Governor 'West; John Manning, Colonel Robert A. Miller and Judge A. 8. Bennett. Bernard Daly of Klamath, is also said to bo figuring on trying for the nom ination. Holman Not Candidate. ' Itufus C. Holman, member of the Board of Commissioners of Multnomah County, who has been mentioned to somo extent in current political 'gossip as harboring gubernatorial inclinations, says ho is not in tho race. Nor will ho be, he adds. "1 am interested in a good business, and in serving as a Commissioner for Multnomah County," said Mr. Holman yeBtcrdny, " it is my aim to do thoBe things which are iucumbent upon a Commissioner of Multnomah County to do." O. P. Hoff, State Labor Commission er, expects to announce his candidacy for renominntion and re-election to that office within a few weeks. Mr. Hoff is a Republican.

OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN AND SEVERAL ADDRESSES MADE Club Plana to Get Women Interested in Politics and Will Urge Them to Attend Meetings. A good sized crowd of both old and young republicans of Salem assembled in the county clerk's office last night for the .meeting of the political organ ization and among tho difforeut mat ters brought up for discussion, Was that of celebrating Lincoln's birthday. It was decided, after much talk on the subject, to hold a mass meeting instead of following out the former plans pro posed for a banquet. Men, women and children republicans are invited to be present next Thurs day and take part in tho meeting which will be held in the evening in tho cir cuit court chntnbers. There will be id dresses by well known local republi cans, special music and other entertain ment, besides a general discussion of republican doctrines. Urge Attendance. The members of the club last night decided to select four representative from each of the Beven wards in Salem, two men and two women, who will use their influence to induce all women and men republican voters to attend the meetings in the future. It was "luminously agreeo. tnat the women vot ers 'should be encouraged In this re spect and that now that they are in tho political ring, they should heeamo mem- Ders of the club and take part in all of the meetings held by the organization. In short talks made by Mayor Steeves and Attorney Heltzol, thoy said that the women 'b vote counted now and that the members of the republican club should exert every effort in tho county at present to secure their co-operation and support. Out of the 20,000 votes in the county at present the women have a largo share, it was said, and this being the fact the jnrty should be prepared to claim its portion of them hereaftor. Elect Officers. An election of officors wns bold aud tho following men now lend tho club: President, Seymour Jones; vice-president, I". G. Hoyer; secretary, Fred R.

Yes, indeed, the first fruits of Fashion are oranges. Orange hued hair is all tho rago and even the newest complexions aro verg ing on tho orango shin.
