10 THE MORNING ORE G ONI AN, MONDAY, OCTCfcBER 5, 1SJ03. Idaho Senator Plans for Re-election. WOULD CREATE NEW PARTY Anti-Mormon Agitation Due to Dubois. SELFISH REPUBLICANS AID IT Appointment of Latter Dny Saint to Federal Position Is Seized Upon as Pretext for Reviving Old Political Issue. It scorns that Fred T. Dubois, at pres ent, United States Senator from Idaho, must croate a new political party In that state If he would continue to be a po litical factor here, and especially if he desires to be re-elected four years from now. To this necessity the incipient anti Mormon agitation recently to be noticed in Idaho must be ascribed. Dubois, who has been successively a Republican, a Silver Republican and a Democrat, was elected in 3900 by the combined Demo cratic, Silver Republican and Populist forces, which fused against the regular Republican candidate. The last three years, however, have solidified the Republican party and placed the Democrats In such a hopeless minority that, unless some new Issue be Introduced into the game, Dubois will stand absolutely no chance of re-election or of power. Moreover, although United States Sen ator W. B. Heyburn, of Idaho, who is now at the Hotel Portland, emphatically disclaims all knowledge of it, a faction in the Republican party In his state Is making a strong effort to identify him with . the Mormon vote and at the same time to arouse a public sentiment against the Latter Day Saints, who con stitute a considerable factor In both the politics and the population of Idaho. Behind this movement, with its alarm cries of "polygamy" and 'preservation of American womanhood," and its slo gan of "re-enact the test oath," is to be discerned the hand of Dubois. If the agitation should be successful the senior Senator, by aligning the Democrats on the anti-Mormon side, might be able to draw enough strength from the anti-Mormon , element of the Republican party to remain in the sad dle and be re-elected. "When Senator Heyburn yesterday de nied any knowledge of factional differ ences among the Republicans of Idaho, the reporter asked why the story of such cliques and cabals was so con tinually repeated In the press. Democrats Would Be Pleased. "I know of no factions or factional difference in the party in Idaho," said the Senator, "and the only talk which I hear in regard to such conditions ex isting comes from Democrats and Dem cratic newspapers. The motive must bo obvious to anyone they' would be pleased if it were true." "What is there in the charge that you recommended the appointment of a Mormon bishop to a Federal office in payment of a political debt, or for Mor mon silpport which elected you to the United States Senate?" "Mr. Wooley, the appointee to whom you undoubtedly refer," said Mr. Hey burn, "had been In Federal office under President McKinley or was appointed on the recommendation of Senator Shoup, then the United States Senator and Na tional Committeeman representing Ida ho. He was recommended for the posi tion to which he has been appointed by the chairman of the State Central Com mittee and national committeeman, and a large number of prominent Republi cans. I endorsed the pctition for his appointment, and fully assume whatever responsibility follows from such action, supplemented by a personal request made by myself to the President that he be appointed. He was appointed sole ly on the grounds of personal fitness for the position, coupled with the fact that he was the only applicant whose name was presented to me. Religious Belief Not Considered. "He was not appointed because he was a Mormon, and the question of his re ligious belief entered In no way into the question. The Mormon vote was divided on the Senatorial question. There were eleven Mormons in the leg islature, of which seven voted against me and four voted for me. I made no promise of political or any other favor in return for any vote. Mormon or otherwise, either before, during or after the Senatorial contest. I was elected to the Senate because a majority of the Legislature of Idaho deemed that it should be so, and the talk to which you refer as to there having been either promise of reward, favor or considera tion or the giving of the same, emanates only from the kickers who failed to defeat me and whose Republicanism Is only a spasmodic convenience, to be laid aside and resumed at the dictates of real or Imaginary self-interest." "Is there any friction," asked the re porter, "between the Governor and the National Committeeman or the chair man of the State Central Committee?" "I know of none, nor do I know of any reason why any should exist." "What Is there In the talk of an anti Mormon party in Idaho?" "Such talk," replied the Senator, "comes only from those who have some selfish end in view. In my judgment, there is absolutely no reason for any such movement. The Mormons are di vided on political questions and exercise their political rights according to their individual judgment. They have the same freedom of action in doing so as the "members of any other creed. There are some politicians in Idaho who dream of a new party along the lines of - a crusade against the Mormon people as a possible means of defeating the Re publican party, and at the same time landing themselves In high position, but their hopes will be defeated. The Re publican party is in favor in Idaho, on its record of good government and pros perity, and will remain In power in spite of selfish ambition of individuals within or without the party. "The state and the people who live in the State of Idaho are more prosperous than ever before. The people think and act for themselves, and will not be made the plaything of any man's ambition when it is based on selfish or sordid motives. There has been nothing in the political situation In Idaho before, during or since the last campaign so far as the conduct of the Republican party Is concerned which can reflect anything but credit on its principles or manage ment, and you may safely count it among the reliable Republican States." Incorrigible Boys Caught. OREGON CITY, Oct 4. (SpeclaL) Chief of Police Burns today took Into custody two incorrigible lads of Portland and re turned them this afternoon to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, from which they are runaways. The boys gave their names as Roscoc Potter and George Oliver Bozorth, of 261 Jefferson street and 2S3 Front street, Portlnnd, respectively. Chief Burns says the pailr b a bad one and re ports that tholr true names and places of residence were only obtained after a se vere questioning. In which tho lads were caught in numorous falsehoods. WITH HOSE AND GONG. Account of a Bartender's Effort to Kont Crusaders. HOQUIAM. Wash., Oct L-(To the Edi tor.) A few days since I noticed la your local columns an article which 6tated in effect that a Mr. Young, In the early '70s had kept the Occidental Hotel and wit nessed the campaign made by a little band of Christians against the liquor traf fic of your city; that, on one occasion, those engaged in the crusade had made so much noise by pounding on a Chinese gong that he rushed across the street, snatched the gong from their hands, and threw it into the street. All such rem iniscences are certainly interesting, but human memory Is very faulty, and It is not until every one has spoken that the chaff can be fanned from the wheat and history written as It was enacted. The liquor business has ever been selfish, vin dictive sand assertive, and Mr. Toung, be ing engaged in It at the time, no doubt, felt that his rights and the rights of his class were being invaded, and the Im pression had been left on his mind that the wrongs were all on their side and he attributes all the acts of lawlessness and hoodlumlsm to their opponents. The "Crusaders," as they styled them selves at the time, consisted of some of the principal women of Portland. 'Nine of them were of the Carrie Nation type, but each one a mother of a family in the days when Roosevelt families were the rule a Jewel of womanhood, true, loving and refined that felt that war was on between the fireside of the home circle and the green cloth of the gambling sa loon. They were Methodists of their day, believed in the efficacy of prayer, and could recognize no compromise with their supposed enemy. "Fanatics" you called them. Yes, as the Northern Methodist church was a fanatic"' durinjc our Civil War. But they did not go forth with gongs, as Mr. Young relates, or infers, nor did they attempt to destroy property or create disturbances. Their only weapons of offense and defense were prayers and sacred music I was an onlooker of that campaign and watched the proceedings, day after day, at the place referred to, the Web foot saloon, corner of First and Morri son streets, where the crusaders usually wound up. There they knelt for a short prayer, and, then, as their voices swelled with the good old Methodist revival song, "Behold . me standing at the door and hear me pleading evermore," a halo of Chrlst-llke patience and lpve surrounded their sweet old motherly faces. I well remember the day Mr. Young speaks of, the only time there was any serious row. As regularly as the cru saders appeared their efforts Tverc met with acts of hoodlumlsm by the proprietor and his barkeepers. Especially did one of them, "Jim" Good, take' delight in pestering the praying band shouting at the top of his voice, and beating a Chi nese gong until its echoes ' reverberated many blocks away. But it was not un til he turned the hose on the crusaders, then engaged in prayer, that a riot seemed imminent. Mr. Good was quickly disarmed, his gong thrown into the street and his life seemed in danger for a few minutes. I can only remember the name of one of the women engaged in the crusade, that of Mrs. E. J. Northrup. She spent her life in acts of benevolence and Christian charity. If there is .any wayward boy or young man of that good old time in Portland who does not re member her efforts to lead us to lives of "righteousness as she pleaded the cause of the master with more than motherly love, he must have been callous indeed, and the seed of her labors must have fallen on barren ground. She was prac tical, too. She waylaid us on the streets and saluted us. not' with an invitation to prayer, but to go to work. "No man hath hired us," was no excuse with her. "Come with me," she would say, and many a successful business man owes a debt of gratitude to her successful ef forts to find him employment when just starting in life. Who shall reckon the good accomplished by our crusaders. "Who can sit In silence when the memory of that little band of earnest, devoted and self-sacrificing women, pearls in the crown of our city's history, is attacked. You see I unconsciously say our city. Well, you know we all claim an Interest in Portland and The Oregonian, no mat ter where we roam. H. D. C. P. S. Mr. Mofilt, the saloon-keeper, was esteemed a generous, noble-hearted man, and left an estimable family and many friends to mourn his loss, and his barkeeper, "Jim" Good, was really a good fellow, but they both lost caste by the actions related above. THANKS TO AMERICANS. Cardinnl Richard Grateful for Sym pathy of Catholics lu America. CINCINNATI, 0.,1Tct. 3. National Sec retary Anthony Matre, of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, received a letter from Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, today, in which the latter ex pressed his slncerest thanks to the Amer ican Federation of Catholic Societies for the expressions of sympathy which that organization has extended to the bishops and the religions of France. Secretary Matre says: "This letter will serve as a bitter rebuke to certain reports which have gained ground in this country and elsewhere that the cardinal and certain bishops of France, as well as all the secular clergy, seemed quietly pleased that the religious orders are being expelled and are far from being sorry for the prevailing persecutlon. The American Catholics have at all times ttaken a sympathetic view of the religious persecutions In France, and have wel comed to America many of those exiled." At the recent federation convention at . Atlantic City, gloomy accounts of the de plorable situation of France were present ed, and, as a result, it was decided to ex tend to the Catholics of that -country the sympathy of their millions of Catholic brethren In this country, and the following resolution was ordered sent to Cardinal Richard: "Resolved, That as citizens of a repub lic In which the church has always en joyed her full rights, we protest against the action of the present French govern ment In attempting to legalize religious persecution. Their heartless treatment of the members of the various religious com munities, their suppression of freedom of education and their express purpose to de cathollze the French people altogether un worthy of the traditional chivalry of France. While offering our sympathy to the religious men and women, and also to their heroic bishops, clergy and laity who have suffered for their convictions, we express our confidence in the French hierarchy and our admiration for Its chiv alrous lay leaders who have battled for years with such odds for right, and we trust that. In response to their efforts, the French people will speedily -wrest the gov ernment from those who have so misused the powers entrusted to them." Secretary Matre also sent a copy of these resolutions to President Loubet and Premier Combes to Inform them officially that the Catholics of America "condemn th6 persecution of their religious brethren In France."

MAN'S DUTY TO GIVE T. & Lippy Speaks on Free Will Offerings to Church. PREACHES WHAT HE PRACTICES Wealthy Klondikcr, "Who Is a Lib eral Giver, .Declares That Men Should Give a Fixed Propor tion of Their Income to God. T. S. Lippy, a wealthy member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Seattle, oc cupied the pulpit at the Taylor-street M. E. Church of this city yesterday. Mr. Lippy, who is a prominent member of his JUNIOR SENATOR "W. B. church In the Washington city, delivered a strong address on "Systematic Giving," In which he made a plea for more free will contributions to the cause of Chris tianity. He declared that the man who made a habit of giving to the cause of Christ was almost always successful in finances. ' In the opening portion of his address Mr. Lippy called,' attentition to the fact that the world arid all that is In it belongs to the Creator by virtue of the creation, and that the giving of worldly wealth to aid the cause of Christianity is but the render ing to God of that which is His. The speaker read passages from the Bible upon the subject of giving, calling special attention to the commandment in the Old Testament that one-tenth of the possessions of the believer be given to the service of the Lord. Then, turning to the New Testament, he read from the words of Jesus commending free-will offer ings. Mr. Lippy thought that the old com mandment requiring the givi.ig of 10 per cent was really reincorporated in the New' Testament In the passage commending free-will offerings. While the day of "thou shalt and thou shalt not" hast passed, it Is now left to the inclination' of the giver what he shall donate to the cause of Christianity. . The speaker advocated systematic "giving of a definite portion as the Biblical way of making contributions to God. He said that the wealthy man and the poor man couid give something, and asserted that statistics support the statement that wealthy men who make a habit of giv ing tc worthy causes are the most suc cessful in business and financial affairs. Mr. Lippy had a romantic leap to great wealth and has put his own teachings in practice. He was for, several years ath letic instructor in the Y. M. C. A. gym nasium In Seattle, but resigned that posi tion to go to the Yukon. He was among the lucky ones who stampeded to the Klondike in 1896 and secured one of the richest claims, which he still works. He is reported to have taken 50,000 In gold from his claim in one year. He made use of part of his wealth fn paying off the debt which hung over the Y. M. C. A. building. and has been a liberal giver to ' the churches and public institutions of Seattle, FUNCTIONS OF THE CHURCH. Plain Truths Stated by Rev. TV. F. Small at Universnllst Church. Yesterday was held the annual re union of the First Unlversallst Church of the East Side, and Rev. W. F, Small, pastor, had for his topic In the morning. "The Business of the Church." He re ferred to the church not as a place of worship but as an organization of peo pie of kindred minds and purposes and similar views. Then Mr. Small said in part: "Tlie business of the church is not political. The state has politics for Its field, and it was the wisdom of our fathors that cnurch and state should be forever separate. This' theory of gov eminent has been strictly adhered to and our success as a nation and the Internal peace we have enjoyed may, In large part, be attributed to this cause. The Dark Ages were made hideous by the ecclesiastical machine, where all were made td bow to uniformity, and to give assent to current theology, however violative of reason and common sense It might be. Under such rule the world could not advance. "The church as an Institution has nothing to do with strictly state affairs, such as the Panama canal,' and the Alas ka boundary, but where moral ques tions are Involved, the church Is a cow ard if It does not rally to the discussion and take part In the adjustment. It Is often urged that the church shall con fine Itself to the gospel, and let politics alone, but where moral Issues are in volved, as at present in this city, through tho policy adopted, the church has a duty to perform, which it must not shirk. "The church can be of much service in a social way, emphasizing friendly greeting, and all that is congenial and helpful in the line of the household and tho home, and all should take part In this tmnnrtant naxt ot church work. Don't get out of the church door as soon as the more formal exercises are concluded, but remain and salute your friends. Even the visitor has a respon sibility . here. He sometimes complains of want of cordiality and human socia bility, on the part of the congregation, when he attends church: but is not this often his own fault? Don't hurry out. but linger and give the minister and others a chance to be friendly. "And yet the church Is not a Sunday club. The church ha3 a higher mission than that. Neither is the church, chief ly, a commercial institution, whose first thought Is to raise money by giving en tertainments that shall catch the atten tion of the young and more thoughtless elements of society by questionable de-" vices. These schemes often do more harm than the preaching does good. They exhaust the energy of the church and are disastrous to its life. But it Is said In defense of the church fair and the public dance, that they cultivate patience and harmony among members. It will not be profitable to purchase even these standard virtues at sp high a price. I do not believe that young people can be profitably enticed into the church In this way. It is like putting the cart before the horse, and expecting it to pull the horse up the hill, and when the church does these things It does what it ought not to "do. We are exhorted not FROM IDAHO. HEYBURN. only to refrain from evil, but to avoid the appearance of evil. "The church Is not pre-eminently an Intellectual school, as Is sometimes sug gested, but rather a place where the purer and swr-ctcr things of life find a home. Intellectuality often runs to seed V-'- v v ' "Worry Kills more Men than in theologies and mere matters of opln lan, doctrine or creed, and loses the inspiration of the life of the founder of Christianity, and of his more Immediate followers. Dogma has been the bane of church work. I believe In creed, and in wen aeimea Doner, out tnese are, not fundamental and all-Important. The main, central element In religion Is In spirational and Ideal, and the Influence these exert on the lives of men. It was these that Jesus gave the world, and embodied In his life, and ft was these that he held up as the life God Intended men should live on the earth. These truths he not only blazoned to the world but he gave them a basis to rest upon In everj' human heart. m "If the church In any of Its work falls below the high standard set up for It, It is because It feels Impelled thereto by sectarian rivalries, and for want of appreciation of the higher and better things of life. "What will recom mend religion and Christianity to all men Is an honest effort to live as Jesus taught men to live, and to do what God wants us to do." FEAST OF THE HOLY" ROSARY. Solemn Service and Lesson at Cath olic Chnrch of That Name.

Purpose Is to Make the Unflt Fit for Survival by Building Up Chnractcr Lgw of Love. At the Unitarian Church, yesterday morning, the pastor. Rev. Dr. George Croswell Cressey, preached on the topic, "Philanthropy, Real. Not Sentimental; Natural, Not Unnatural." Dr. Cressey spoke in part as follows: "Law and gospel, logic and love, sense and sentjment, the inexorable sequence of folly and human sympathy; Viewed on the surface these seem opposltes, incompatible in practice. "It seems to some that modern philan thropy and reform in many of their meth- J ods are mere effervescence of feeling, with no logic at the base; that they are con trary to the. order of nature. Interfere with the normal currents of society as it seeks to free itself from the useless and superfluous; that philanthropy bolsters up ; the wenk, condones evil, pampers the ; moral poltroon; that charity puts a pre j mlum on Idleness; that prison phllan ! thropy condoles with the criminal and ! serves In part to stay the hand of Justice; ! that that broad beneficence, the so-called higher education, as the gift of the city or the state, fills the minds of the youth ' with inanely exalted Ideas which must be ejected by the hard knocks of years of ! experience; that, In brief, philanthropy does not rest on a foundation of sound j philosophy. True Purpose of Philanthropy. "If this view be true. It Is very deslr- ' able that we should know it. It is pos sible, however, that the contrary Is the J fact; that philanthropy, while liable to misapplication, like all lines of human activity. Is a principle of law as well as of love; that it is hard common sense as ' well as refined and Christian sentiment. ; "The law of the survival ot the fittest j runs through all nature, material and spiritual. What Is the fundamental prin clple' of true charity? It Is not to help , men to survive in their unfitness, but to I render them fit for survival. Outside of 1 relief to the utterly helpless, this is the ! first nnd last end of philanthropy. When the Inmate of the prison at the close of his term Is offered a good position, it Is ( not a reward for his evil action, but a , tribute to his humanity, an encourage t ment to lead a better life. If such action j Is not worth the while, then the only i sensible and logical alternative would' be j life imprisonment for all offenders. It Is . a disgrace, of course, to have been in i prison, but no more such from a moral , point of view- than to have consummated chicanery Just out of the- reach of the statute, or to have violated the law under the protection or lndlffernce of those whose business It Is to enforce that law. Moral guilt is not co-terminous with the walls of the penitentiary. "Legal statute is the attempt of society to enforce moral conduct to the extent necessary for Its own security and perma nence. Ethics, on the other hand, covers the entire area of humanity. Philanthropy .concerns Itself -with both spheres. It looks and acts not merely from a legal, but from a broadly human point of view. The law of love Is the highest of all laws. Development of Character. "The question of philanthropy, more over. Involves the development of public and private character. Men must work out their own salvation. This principle we should be the last to deny; but be cause the central work must be done by the Individual, It does not follow that he should have no aid. We live as a raco and there is no logical limit to the Judi cious assistance of others, even the crim inal and the outcast. "But Is not character developed by re sisting temptation, thus proving our right to survive? Since in the physical realm the weak perish and the strong survive. Cigar as by the weeding out of the feeble the race becomes vigorous, why not allow things to take the same course in the moral realm? The logical outcome of this theory is Its own refutation. To be con sistent, we should expose ourselves to every disease, fill our systems- with dele terious microbes that we might demon strate our strength, or. If we fell by tha wayside, that the community might ba strengthened by our collapse; while In the moral realm we should need a saloon and gambling-house on every square, that our young- men might be brought to their doors. Informed of their attractions and their perils, and then left to demonstrate for themselves their fitness to survive. The error lies in the assumption that re sistance to temptation is the chief factor in character-building. It is a part of tho truth, but not the essential and funda mental truth. Character Is positive: It is formed primarily by developing the prin ciples and love of justice and righteous ness. It Is a mistake to suppose that one must sow wild cats as a preliminary to strong character, or be exposed to every temptation before he can be positively and vigorously righteous. In the experience of life there Is a happy medium between the atmosphere of the hothouse and that of the wind-swept plain. Righteousness Is a matter of knowledge, feeling, conscience and habit as well as of experience; and knowledge not necessarily experimental, but real and conscience arc primary." Application of Lutt of Love. Dr. Cressey next refererd to philan thropy, as not only consistent with the general laws of human society, but as ap plying, in addition, the precepts of that higher law of love which Is not content with seeking to make men fit for survival, but aims also to render the conditions of life such that they may naturally develop Into a character of stalwart righteousness. Illustrations of this principle were given, leading directly to the conclusion that philanthropy alms not merely to benefit the victim, but those also whose welfare In the Intimate associations of life may ba conjoined with his, to make homes hap pier, communities purer, nations mora righteous. Dr. Cressey concluded: "Thousands of years passed before man perceived the simple duty of living; again centuries of struggle, conflict, passion and misery ere humanity learned the addi tional lesson that we should not only live, but let live. Here at the opening of the twentieth century Christian philanthropy takes up the task and seeks to enforce In theory and practice the greatest princlplo of all, that we should not only live and let live, but help others to live, the law of love, the law of the spirit." DEACONESSES IX PORTLAND. Rev. Dr. Beard Inaugurates New Work in Methodist Church. Rev. J. N. Beard, D. D., of San Fran cisco, spoke twice in the city yesterday upon deaconess work, delivering two ad dresses, and enlisting great Interest In this work, which Is just now being started in this city. Dr. Beard Is superintendent of the National Training School. San Francisco, which Is one of three training schools carried on by the Woman's Homo Missionary Society of the Methodist Epis copal Church In the United States. In the morning Dr. Beard spoke to a large audience at Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church from the text. "So fight I, not as one that beateth the air." Tho address was. upon the subject of modern training as an aid In Christian work, showing clearly the great need of trained workers, as well as the great advantaga to the cause of having educated helpers. The address at Taylor-Street Church In the evening was listened to by a crowded house, and much information was given as to the methods and character .of work done by the deaconess. Miss Lamb, of San Francisco, one of tho most efficient workers, Is to commence work as a deaconess in Taylor-Street Church at once. Miss Haines will also come to Portland soon from Washington City to engage in the work of a conference deaconess. A deaconess home will be established at once, which will inaugurate this most im portant arm of service in the Methodist Church of this city and- the NbrthtvesxV War.
