Phone Main 81. WOULD MAKE CHURCH SOCIAL CENTER Tn vps(-prd:iv's issue of the munication from Rev. Richard F. Tischer, which is well! worthy of perusal and study. It shows in a remarkable degree the changes wnich nave tanen piace in me churches within the past twenty, years, and indicates the wonderful broadening of the religious mind. Mr. Tischer says that if he could have his way as a minister he would provide his church with a social hall, a pool and billiard table for both boys and girls and with a gymnasium for all indoor sports. He goes even farther in saying he would arrange under proper supervision, dancing parties where the young could mingle and in dulge their natural tastes for social pleasures. He pertinently asks why or wherein dancing is any more immoral than coasting or skating, and thinks the church and the schools should provide the proper avenues, places and times for such edcuation and enjoyment. All this sounds natural and rational, and is a much better solution of the problem as to what we shall do with our boys and girls than the arbitrary condemning of all such amusements simply because they are not prop erly safeguarded. Nature has placed in the young of all kinds whether "kids" or kittens the desire to play, to exercise and develop. It is instinctive for the" young of all animals to get together and to find in each others company, pleasure and amusement. In times past there was a strict condemnation of all these natural instincts. It was an unreasoning, arbitrary dictatorial, "Thou shalt not." ' Because gambling is an evil, cards were condemned. Because indiscriminate dances led to mischief all danc ing was tabooed. Because the violin furnished the music at these dances the "fiddle" became the seat and source of iniquity. Yet cards are now seen in every home. The dance has lost its bad reputation and the violin is now a part of most church services. It is not so long ago that to the young the church was an awesome and gloomy place. Inside its doors no smile could be indulged in, no worldly thought enter. God was made to appear to the young as an unforgiving and ter rible judge who had no sympathy with or love for them. How different today, and how infinitely better. They are now taught that Cod is tenderness and love, a smiling sympathetic friend who shares their pleasures and re joices in their happiness. He is no longer a stern parent to be feared only, but a warm, close friend in whom they can confide and on whose affection they can rely. The world is no longer a vale of tears, with every pathway strewn with brambles or bordered with thorns, but a great sunshiny, flower-docked home. The air is filled with the music of joyous birds and fragrant with the incense of millions of blossoms. Color and light, music and beauty, fragrance, sweetness, warmth, love, all these are divine attributes and all given by a loving father for the pleasure and enjoyment of His children. Mr. Tischer is right in his idea that expression rather than suppression is the remedy, and that provision for the harmless exercise of social instincts rather than arbitrary condemnation is the true solution of the problem. It would be an experiment well worth trying, and let us hope some way may be found by which Mr. Tischer's theory can be given a thorough practical test. The Dalles fruit-growers are peeved because a splen did exhibit of fruit they sent to the Tanama Exposition failed to show up in the Wasco county exhibit. They are further roiled because that same fine exhibit by some "devilish cantrip sleight" got mixed up with a western Oregon exhibit and the big apples and other showy fruits that were born and bred in "old Wasco", were made to carry cards "from the Willamette Valley, Oregon, where every prospect pleases." Can you blame the Dallesites for completing the couplet and adding "And only man is vile." LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 18G3 CAPITAL Transact a General Banking; Business Safety Deposit Boxes SAYINGS DEPARTMENT DORA C. ANDRESEN, Sec. and Treas. $5.00 3.00 IV r month ...45c I'er mouth 35c TELEGRAPH REPORT Canital Journal was a com $300,000.00 Senator Stone's answer to Senator Lippitt who boasted that "if he was president there would have been an American army in Mexico in 24 hours" was deserved. Senator Lippitt like so many in the American "House of Lords" represents only the vested interests. The Amer ican people are to such as he an unknown race. His in dignation over the killing of Americans by Mexicans was the veriest balderdash for the common people are some thing outside of his vision. He would have war, but neither he nor one of the class he represents would help fight that war, nor would they care how many Americans lost their lives therein. He and his class would stay at home and speculate on the necessities of the country just ; as they did during the civil war, when their patriotism was shown by their success in depreciating the country's; currency. He and his kind are rabid fighters by proxy, j Wheat in Liverpool was quoted Wednesday at $2.02; per bushel, or about $1.00 higher than here in the valley. ! This difference shows how the shipowners are taking practically all the increased price due to the war. Some how it is always managed so the farmer gets about the same old price, regardless of Some day the farmers will get one biggest business ana dictate tneir own prices, max is they would do this if they were big business men, which, fortunately for the consumer, they are not. Of course no good Salemite would ever think of trying to deceive anyone, but still what's the use of talking about Oregon's winter climate when tourists are only ex acted to visit us during the summer. Then when those pictures were taken, it was not raining very hard, and it was not necessary to have an umbrella up, at least while the camera man was around. There is a difference be tween deceit and caution just as there is between the naked and the nude, and fortunately most of us under stand this. For the peace of this country should not Henry Ford abandon his peace delegates and leave them stranded in Stockholm. Still so far Sweden and the United States are on friendly terms, and the Swedes have done nothing that would justify even Ford treating them that way. However, "charity begins at home" and the Swedes can not understand English. Hoke Smith, the fiery senator from Georgia, has dis covered that the British are "perpetual robbers" and Germany "guilty of murder." Maybe Hoke draws the indictment too strong and does not include enough parties. Make the charge manslaughter'Hoke and indict all the warring nations. The offense can be easily proved. Now the dispute is on again as to whether or not General Sherman made the assertion credited to him that "War is Hell." It is a useless discussion for the sim ple reason that it can neither be proven nor disproved. It doesn't matter anyway whether he said it or not, for it is the truth, is mighty and must prevail. The English should stop discussing German atrocities on sea or land until they put a stop to the doggarel being written in the trenches, and worse yet, printed in other wire respectable newspapers. One cannot but feel it is a case of "lead astray" when these trench literary fellows are missed. RippHngRhijmos Walt LOOKING AHEAD In future years we will not boast, as we are boasting now, that we had forebears in the host upon the May flower's prow. Nor will we boast of Norman blood, or how our sires shed gore, when they crossed o'er the raging flood, with Bill the Con querore. We'll say, when gathered round the board, "By Woden and by Thor! Our fathers sailed with Henry Ford, and put an end to war ! They cranked their ship with fiery zeal, and sailed for Peace's sake, with Henry at the steering wheel, his foot upon the brake. Across the briny deep they XJ A slid, and twanged their peaceful lyres, and fiK,..Q when the ship began to skid, they calmly changed the tires. The monarchs in their anger roared, above the martial din, 'What have we done that Henry Ford should come to rub it in?' The soldiers, with their crimsoned hands, remarked, 'By Mother Goose, the stuff's all off when Henry lands, and turns his white dove loose !' The wearied armies lost their grip, the bat tleships sailed home, when Henry tooled his good tin ship across the leagues of foam. And o'er the world the White Dove soared, the Dove men panted for; our fathers sailed with Henry Ford, and put the lid on war." NEQRO REFUSES TO TELL Seattle Wash., Jan. 2.

Some good steers sold Tucsilav at t7 that were consider ed steady with Monday. if ain henvy steers have had somo discrimination but the bulk of the best handy weights are not moro than ten to fifteen cents off of the previous week. Opening of lumber camps should push steers well back where they were. This is espe cially true of the. common and me dium grades. Cows and Heifers While demand has not rreen on a healthy basis this week, cows, especially common "dairy maids'' have sold very well fully a dollar a hundred more than they did three or four months ago. Wednesday a bunch of common stuff of this type sold nt from $:i to $0. The bulk of them going mound $4.oft. This price for this class of cows looks very good. Very few strictly choice fed cows or heifers aro coming in but wh.it of fering are coming meet with a fair re ception. There arc very few "lunger" sus pects coming forward lately. liulls Hulls are in a little better de mand than a few weeks ngo, but buyers are doing nothing sensational for them.

Today No sheep were ottered for today's market but both lnmhs and mutton are in good demand. The out look for shippers is good. (ieneral .Not a great number of sheep and lambs have arrived this week to date, yet if the average keeps up list year's record of January should be eipmlled and possibly increased. The scoring of $S.2." lambs has cre ated some entiiJHiasui in the sheep house and it is barely possible that re ceipts should bo slightly increased. Weather conditions have kept back some shipments. Despite the fact that lambs and sheep prices are better than for three years here the market situution is healthy. The good price tor pelts and the high price of wool is doing a great deal to keep the market of this basis. The week has brought no new ad vance except in the common sheep end especially old ewes. Sheep owners are very optoiuistic as to the season's feeding and there nre few indeed who will use red ink in making up their loss and gain statements this year. With luuibs at tS.23 and tlic excel lent price of killing sheep, feeders are not worrying a great deal over the mar ket situation. Hog Prices Good.

WOODBUKN HIGH SCHOOL As soon as the weather permits, work will lie begun on the foundation of the new high school building and pushed to completion The building will he ready for occupancy before the opening oi next year's term of school.

In addition to this the board will dinw about $400 interest on the money plnc; cd in banks before it is all withdrawn. For awhile, during the deliberations, it looked ns if such a building could not be constructed for less than $S,000 ov er the sum allotted, but second consid eration and a few unimportant changes brought the required result.
