PIETY SUCKED IIP President on Service to God and State. INTENT IS INSUFFICIENT In Fight Against Evil, Power Must Go With Purpose. ADDRESS GIVEN AT ST.ALBANS Archbishop Nuttall, of the Weston dies, Tells in What High" Regard Roosevelt Is Held in Eng land as President and Man. MORSELS ROH TILE ADDRESS. "It Is not very much praise to'glvo to a man to say he Is harmless." "Small is our use for the man who individually helps any of .us and shows that ho does it grudgingly." "The state will bo saved if the Lord putfl It Into the heart of the average man so to shape his life that the state shall bo worth saving-." "There are certain great principles concerning which no man has a right to have but ono opinion." WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 "Intelligent ser vice to God and to the State' was the sub ject of an, address by President Roose velt to the 7000 people who attended the public open-air missionary service at Mount St. Albans this afternoon on the ground of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St, Paul. The-Presldent was accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Admiral Dewey and Brigadier-General John M. "Wilson. After a procession led by the Marine Band and a choir of 500 colces, the oiergy of the diocese of Washington and the bishops of tho Anglican Communions of America, the opening prayers were read by Bishop Doane of Albany. The President was Introduces .by Bishop Satterlee. - At the close ot tho President's address, the Most Rev. Enos Nuttall, Archbishop of .the West Indies, asked permission to say a word on behalf of the British peo ple. Speaking, as he said for them, he told of the reverence and respect which all Englishmen feel for the President of the United States and for Theodore Roosevelt, "the man and the Christian." Warm Admiration in England. He declared that England, welcomed the expansion of the United States into a world power and that if President Roose velt Bhould visit Ensrland -would ceive the greatest welcome extended a foreign visitor. The President spoke in part" as follows: "I wish to dwell upon certain thoughts suggested by three different quotations: "In the first place, Thou shalt serve tho Lord with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind; the next, 'Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harm less as doves,' and. finally, 'We being ready both la body and soul may there fore accomplish these things which thou commandest "We have the right to claim from -you not merely that you shall havo heart In your work, but that you shall gle the best that your minds have got to it also. In tho eternal and unending warfare for righteousness and against evil, the friends of what is good need to remember that la addition to being decent they must 'be efficient; that good intentions and high purposes cannot bo effective, and a sub-" stltute for power to make those purposes, those intentions, felt in action. Purpose Backed by Power. "We must have the purpose and the in tention. If our powers are not guided aright it Is better that we should not have them at all; but la addition to. being guided aright wo must have tho power also; you must cultivate the power also. "In the second quotation, remember that wo are told not merely to be harmless as doves, but also to be wise as serpents. We are not to be excused If we do not show both qualities. It Is not very much praise to give a man to aay he Is harm less. We have a right to ask that In ad dition to the fact that he does no harm to anyone he shall possess tho wisdom and the strength to do good to his neighbor. "Finally we ask that we may be made ready both in body and in soul that we may cheerfully accomplish three things that we are commanded to do, both in body and soul; that we shall fit ourselves physically and mentally; fit ourselves by the way In which we work with the weap ons necessary for dealing with this life no less than with the higher, spiritual weapons; fit ourselves thus to do the work commanded, and moreover, dp it cheerfully. Work With Good Cheer. "Small Is our use for tho man who In dividually helps any of us and shows that be does It grudgingly. I would.rather not be helped than be helped in that way. We have & right to ask a cheerful heart! a right to ask a buoyant and cheerful spirit among those to whom Is granted the privilege of doing tho lord's work in this world. The chance to do work, the duty to do -work is not a penalty, it is a privilege." Continuing, President Roose velt said: "In the seventh hymn which we sung, in the last line you all joined in singing, God save the state. Do you intend merely to sing that, or to try to do it? If you In tend merely to sing it, your part in doing it will be but small. The state will be saved If jtb.6 lord pus It Into tho ieart of the average man so to shape his life that the state shall be worth saving and only on those terms. "We need civic righteousness. The best constitution that the wits of man has ever devised, the best institutions that tho ablest statesmen in the vprld have ever reduced to practice by law or by custom, shall bo of.no avail if they are not vivified by the spirit which makes a state great by making it honest, just and brave in the first place. Unite on Fundamentals. "I do not ask you as practical believers In applied Christianity to take part one way or the other in matters that are merely political.' There aro plenty of questions about which men can and do differ very greatly and very intensely, about which, the triumph of either side may be compatible with tho welfare of the state, but there are certain .great prin ciples such as those which Cromwell would have called undamentals, concern ing which no man "has a right to have but one opinion. "Such a question is honesty. If you havo not honesty In the average private citi zen or public servant then all else goes for nothing. The better a man is, the more dexterous, the shrewder, the bolder, tho more dangerous he Is if he has not the root of right living and right thinking in him and that in private life, and even more so In public life. Honesty Must Underlie Ail. "Exactly as In time of -war, although needed in each fighting man far more than courage, yet all else counts for nothing if there is not courage upon which to base It; so lit our civil life, although we need the average man in privato life, that the average public servant shall iave far more than honesty, yet all other qualities go for nothing or for worse than nothing unless honesty underlies them not only tho honesty that keeps its skirts practical ly clear, but the honesty that Is such In the spirit as -well as In the letter of the law, the honesty that is aggressive, the honesty that not merely deplores but that wars against it and tramples It under foot; r- Honesty That Quickens to Duty. "I ask for that type of honesty, I ask for militant honesty, for the honesty of the kind that makes thosowho have it discontented with. "themselCs" as long as they have failed to do everything that In them lies to. stamp out dishonesty whero over it can be found, In high places or in low. And let us not flatter ourselves that It Is possible ultimately for the people to cast upon any but themselves the respon sibilities for the shape the Government and the social and political life of the com munity assumes. 'Task, then, that. our people feel quick ened within them the- burning indigna tion against wrong in every shape which shall take effect in condemnation, especi ally condemnation of that wrong, whether found In private or in public life at the moment." YELLOW PAPER ABROAD. Matin's Fake'Treasure-Hunt Arouses Anger of Parisian Mob. PARIS, Oct 25. An enterprise started by The Matin, which consisted of conceal ing a treasurer the whereabouts of which wasjndlcated in a serial story running in the paper, caused trouble here today. A crowd was seeking the treasure in the Buttes Charmant Park, when a man drove up in a cab, alighted and Immediately found It The crowd declared that the finder was employed by The Matin and had been told where to look. They tried to lynch him and he was saved with difficulty.' Subse quently 800 persons marched to the offices of The Matin, where they made a bonfire of copies of that paper and threatened to wreck the "premises. The police had a hard task in dispersing the mob. CONTENTS OF TODAY'S PAPER. National. General Gillespie, Chief of Engineers, recom- mends large appropriations for improve ment of the Columbia River.

There are few officers of the United States Navy who have seen as much service on the Pacific Coast as Rear-Admiral Louis KempiT. who retired from active service this month. Born In, Illinois, he was ap pointed to the Navy in 1S57, and saw some hard service in the early years of the Civil War, while attached to the steam frigate Wabash at Port Royal, Fernandlna and Jacksonville, Fla.', and St Mary's, Ga. Admiral Kempft first served In Pacific waters on board the sloop of war Suwanee from 1865 to 1S67. In 1SCS-69 he was on the receiving ship Independence at Mare Island; In 1870-72 he served on tho steamer Sar anac of the Pacific station, and from 1S77 to 18S0 he was on duty at Mare Island. During the next 20 years, with one exception, when he commanded the Alert on the Asiatic station, he commanded ships attached to the Pa cific fleet or was on duty at Mare Island or San Francisco. He command ed at different times the sloop of war Adams, tho Coast defense ship Mon terey, and the receiving ship Independence. In 1899. reaching tho grade of Rear-Admiral, he commanded tho Mare Island navy-yard. The following year he was ordered to Asiatic waters and placed In charge of one of our squadrons there. He was In command of the American squadron in front of Taku, China, when the forts there were bombarded, and his action in not participating in the bombardment although adversely criticised at first, was afterward commended as diplo matic and humane. Since returning home. Admiral Kempft has been president of the board of defense for the Pacific Coast with headquarters at San Francisco. It Is stated that the Admiral will make hia home ia Texas. $300,000. These amounts.dded to the available balance," will provide ample funds for continuing work throughout tho coming fiscal year, and the fact that all three of these works are now known- as -'continuing contracts" will probably mean that appropriations therefor will bo made In the sundry civil bill and will not depend upon the passage of a river and harbor bill at' the coming session. General Gillespie estimates that it will cost $2,673,509 to complete the Improve ment of the Lower Willamette and Co lumbia Rivers, in addition to $16S,240, available from prior appropriations, while to complete the south jetty at the mouth of the Columbia will require $776451, In excess of the $1,250,000 still available and unexpended. No estimate of the cost of the new canal at The' Dalles has yet been made. Among the other appropriations recommended are: Other Oregon Recommendations. Nine thousand dollars for carrying out the revised project for improving the Willajnette between Portland and Oregon City, as suggested by the special board of engineers; $10,000 for deepening the channel between "Vancouver . and the mouth of the Columbia; $50,000 for com pleting the approaches and grounds around the canal and locks at the Cas cades; $10,000' for continuing clearing of tho channel of the Snake River between RIparia and Jmnaha River; $10,000 for dredging in Tillamook Bay; $2000 for Coos River; $C0,000 for producing a greater depth over the bar at the entrance of Coos Bay; $30,000 for Coqullle River, and $500 for Clatskanle River. Washington Improvements. For strictly Washington Improvements, the following amounts are asked: Lewis River, $7000; Willapa River, $3000; entrance to Gray's Harbor, $30,000; Inner Gray's Harbor, $25,000; tributaries of Pu get Sound, $20,000; Olympla Harbor, $25, 000; Tacoma Harbor, $5000; Everett Har bor, $10,000; New Whatcom Harbor, $35, 000; Pen d'Orellle and Okanogan Rivers, $7500. Projects Turned Down. It Is noticeable that General Gillespie recommends no appropriation for Ya quina Bay or Sluslaw 'River, Oregon, or for tho Lakes Union and Washington canal near Seattle. All three of these projects have been adversely reported upon by engineer boards and until Con gress again by specific legislation recog nizes these works no further recommend ations will be made by the Chief of Engi neers. Except for the three first projects named in addition to Tacoma and Gray's Harbor; all appropriations for the North west recommended by General Gilles pie must be made In the rivar and harbor bill. Tho Importance of such a bill at the comlnir long session is therefore ap parent, especially to the Pacific North west for from balances still available, it is "evident that unless new approprlar tlons are made for the coming fiscal year many of tho works, stipulated must ceSase because of lack of funds.

THE CHINA STATION TO Soldiers' Monument Urv? veiled at Lone Fir. THOUSANDS SEE CEREMONY President M. L Pratt Recalls Deeds of Glory. MEN WHO FOUGHT FOUR WARS Happy Consummation of Enterprise to Commemorate Oregon Soldiers' With Noble Granite Shaft and Bronze Statue Iii the presence of 2000 people the shaft erected In Lone Fir Cemetery In memory of the veterans of the four wars the Civil, Indian, Mexican and Spanish-Americanwas unveiled yesterday afteroon by the Monument Association, with 'patriotic, song and eloquent speech. During the aft ernoon not less than 5000 people visited the cemetery to view and admire the monument, probably the only one ot tho sort in the United States. Officers and members of the Monument Association marched to the cemetery from Sumner Post G. A. R. hall. The shaft was" partly concealed by two American flags, one of which belonged to the Eighth Army Corps when in the Philippines. At the ground Comrade I. McGowan, of Sumner PostJ G. A. R., assumed charge. He said: "I welcome this assemblage to witness the uncvelllng of this monument erected in memory of the veterans of the four wars as represented by the inscriptions. I. A. Brown first proposed that a monu ment be built here In memory of the G. A. R, veterans, but this plan was afterward enlarged to Include the veterans of the1 Mexican, Indian and Spanish-American wars. The Monument Association was organized November 2, 1901, and Incorpor ated February 9, 1902. Comrade D. D. Neer designed and superintended Its erection.' After an eloquent prayer by Rev. H. Js Talbot, ot the Taylor-street M. E. Church Miss Metta C Brown sang a solo with fln effect After 'the Battles. MIs Jennie Hagedown then recited Mrs. June McMlllon Ordways poem, "After the Battles." She explained that Mrs. Ordway had lost a son In the Phillplnes, one of the first of the Second Oregon regiment to give his life, and that he was buried In Lone Fir cemetery. The poem had been prepared for the unveiling ceremonies by request of the association. It was as follows: Oh! hark, that deafening clash of steel And see the thousands sway, "War's echoes ring from Mexico 4 To far Manila Bay. And in the distant North and South They still are marchlns on; Upon each face there, we can see, x I They will set right tho wrong. h "With the dear old flag abovo them, Ah! hear their rousing' cheer; - . Unscathed by treasins angry blow, ' Our stars and stripes appear.. ; ; For them no conflicts, all is peace, - Gained in the long ago. They hear no clash of sword and lance Though nations ebb and flow. They made the conquest of all time, V They triumphed o'er defeat; For them no mustering of arms, ; f No onset no retreat .J.- 4 Thoy rest In a fairer country, By calmest streams that flow, They hear no sound of bugle's call, . Nor fear a treacherous foe. Calm bo- their sleep as evening. Their souls at peace with God, No sound of strife shall e'er disturb Our bravo 'neath flowers and sod. 'Mid scenes so beauteous, ever rest In long and peaceful sleep, Tho marching thousands near shall come And muffled drums shall beat Mr. Pratts Oration. Professor M. L. Pratt President of tha Monument Association, then delivered the oration. He first reviewed the progress of nations, showing that their develop ment was closely allied with war. but said that the tendency now Is to'vjfard set tlement of international disputes by arbi tration, which indicated a higher develop ment of the human race. Arbitration, he said, will do much toward preserving the life of nations. teachlng.them to be just to one another, to subdue the barbarous Instincts of tho race, and promoting tho brotherhood of man. He pointed to the religious and educational freedom of tho nation as Indicating its high purposes. He also touched on the dangers of un restricted immigration, and then, taking; up the lessons suggested by the erec tion of tho memorial shaft to the memory of tho veterans of the four wars. Pro fessor Piatt said: In the education of every boy and Klrl la the future there should bo slowly but eteadlly developed In the course ot the years of his, pupilage that Independence of thought and action, that individuality, the outward and visible mark ot self-reliance, that eelf-control and Its kindred duality, self-respect, that freedom from pettiness of the soul, that broad charity for the -weakness ot their fellow-man, that Innate aense of respect for the opinion of others, that generosity born of noble Im pulses, and that large-heartednes6 which forms the foundation of that character which pe culiarly distinguishes the highest type of the American citizen. And now, my fellow citi zens, I shall speak of on influence that 13 dearest to our hearts today, and that Is, tho influence-of sacrifice. The loyalty of the men to the memories of whom thi9 monument is erected will never be auestloned. All tho sacrifices they made may never b known nor appreciated, yet that Inward conscious ness, the result' of their early training, spoke for them In a voico that can never be mis taken, and devotion to duty pointed out the way for them to follow. They turned their faces away from the bright sunshine of youth and faced an uncertain future, full of tho horrors of war, among which death is not the worst As defenders of our flag and tho i (Concluded oa Pago 10.)
