t -- 12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, MAY 23, 190 - - F0ES0FTHESAL00N Two Big Meetings in Taylor Street Methodist Church. THE LOCAL 0PT10NIST3 RALLY Women and Men Are Addressed In Separate Gatherings by Many Speakers Texas Sheriff Says Prohibition Does Prohibit. Another rally for local option, with sep arate meetings for men and women, was held last night at Taylor-Street Methodist Church, and at the men's meeting, which took place in the main auditorium, about 250 men were present- The opening hymn was "Stand Up for Jesus," and everybody sang with a will. Rev. F. Burgette Short gave the opening addres, and made a plea for the spread of Christian patriotism. He then said: "We neec to know the meaning of the word lib erty In its purest and holiest sense. It is a duty to "be patriotic, and to see to tt that every man and woman in this community shall have a chance to do their noblest and best. There are those In our midst who are helpless under conditions which break our hearts tonight. Our wives, sweethearts, mothers and sisters are help loss because it is not in their power to vote for local option. You should make it a labor of love to see to it that the highest possible type of liberty be guaranteed to all those who come to Oregon, and. that e ery man's rights shall be protected." "I am not a Prohibitionist," began At torney W. W. Cotton. "I do not believe that law will prohibit the sale of liquor in any large area of country. In every com munity there are men who will drink. 1 don't even claim to be a temperance man. I drink now and then. I don't go home in a carriage, but I do drink. I don't claim that all the vice In the -world can be at tributed to drink. There are even some good men who are liquor-sellers. There are many more injur! ws things than drink. Overeating and overt poking, so far as men of sedentary h iblts are concerned, are killing moie men tl.an drink. But we have a condition of things in this city which for its good name and from the standpoint of morality, ought to cease. Liquor licenses are easy to obtain. I be lieve in giving the people the power to Jiave a little self-government of their own. The closer the government gets to the people, the better government we have. You can assume by this time that I am strongly In favor of the local-option law. "It is easy to get up a petition or a re monstrance, as few men care to oppose their fellows. The result of the present condition of things is that many bad saloons are licensed. There i? no harm In this local-option law. I believe in legisla tion that will be enforced to the letter, and that a man has the right to guard the safety of his home. There are many qaloons in this city which are connected with questionable houses. These are aids to the ruin of women and girls. Down South, a negro assaults a white women and sometimes kills her, but in a great many cases the negro is hanged or burned. Some of us sympathize with the men of the South. In the large cities of the North, and particularly In a city like Port land, girls and young v. omen have to work for their lllng. They have to bo on the streets passing to and from work, and some one invites them into a restaurant to eat a meal. Then a cocktail Is ordered. There comes a time when these dinners cease, or the woman sells her honor. "The negro I have referred to down South Is animated by an animal desire, and goes like a deouring lion after his prey. The man I have referred to in the restaurant is a coyote, but I cannot think of the name of any animal bad enough to describe the man who owns that saloon or restaurant, who permits or allows this sort of thing to be done. Local option would change all this. The bill will only affect saloons In suburban districts. If other saloonkeepers in the city want to make their places decent, the voters have the law behind them." On motion of Dr. Short, those present sang "My Country, Tis of Thee." B. Lee Paget also spoke. Atelegram -was read from the Sheriff of Hopkins County. Tex., said to be a prohi bition county, containing 2S.000 people, and the Sheriff stated that since the dawn of prohibition there the county was prosper on, crime had decreased, that sobriety and moral sentiment were better than be fore, and he concluded with this sentence, "Prohibition will prohibit." warning the women present not to be ready with excuses when -the call was is sued for them to do this work. CIRCUS PARADE TODAY. Norrls & Rowe's Big Shows to Begin Series of Performances. TVho can tell what actuates the child ish mind In its deductions? Recently at the Winter quarters of the Norrls & Rowe shows, in San Jose, Manager Rowe was entertaining a party of friends. Among them was the preco cious child of one of the party, whose quaint sayings often furnished consid erable amusement. In the big long building where the acrobats rehearse there is one end devoted to blacksmith ing. The party had watched sevoral show horses being shod and had passed to the outside. The child had noticed a trio of elephants and two camels be ing led by the keeper into the big house and afterward led out again to their quarters. The strange proceeding puzzled the youngster. Why should they lead the beasts In and then out again? The child puzzled his small brain for awhile, then a happy thought struck him. "Why, I know, mamma, the man has new shoes put on them." "It's gratifying to see children inter ested in animals," was all Mr. Rowe could say, between laughs. The Norrls & Rowe circus will give four perform ances in Portland, starting with a per- RICHARDS FOR GOVERNOR BOISE CITY MAN MAY GET IDAHO REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. His Opponent Is Francis Jenkins, of North Idaho-Opposition to Re- nomination of French. Barney O'Neill, one of the most prominent Republican leaders in Ida ho, was a visitor yesterday. He has been in attendance upon the Repub lican Convention in Pocatello, and came to Portland as a side trip before returning home. He was registered at the Imperial yesterday. Mr. O'Neill Is a banker at Wallace. Idaho, and has for some years been prominent in politics. As State Sen ator he was an active power in the election of Senator Heyburn to Con gress, and managed the campaign for the Senator. Relative to the present political out look, Mr. O'Neill says that the Guber natorial race will lie between Judge J. H. Richards, of Boise City, and Francis Jenkins, of North Idaho. Ho believes the chances are in favor of the nomination of Judge Richards. Of course he is confident that the Repub- HOLD LOCAL-OPTION RALLY. Temperance-Workers Have Enthusi astic Meeting In Sunday School. The women's meeting, which was held in the Sunday-school room, was attended by earnest and enthusiastic workers In the local-option cause. Mrs. F. B. Short pre sided, and Miss McElroy, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., presented the conditions which confront the young people of Port land, and urged that the mothers and bisters work to efface the saloons. Miss McElroy said: "I believe Christian people responsible for conditions which exist In any city, re sponsible as individuals. Where Christian people have control a city Is not full of jiltfalls for young women and men. Does Christianity rule Portland? If not, why? The Christians are here why do you not have the saloons moved away from your doors?" That other evils follow the liquor license was demonstrated by Miss McElroy, and she stated that saloons., gambling-houses and brothels always went hand in band. She Is an earnest and convincing speaker and her broad experience in rescue work gives her ample opportunity to Illustrate the points taken by actual occurrences. A. F. Flegel was invited down from the men's meeting, and made a stirring ap peal to the women of Portland to be up and doing. He stated that the women of the state were more particularly affected by the temperance question than the men were, and It was for them to take up the battle against the saloont. "The women." he said, "have been in the forefront of every successful crusade against saloons, and what is more, there has never been a successful crusade of the kind waged unless women were in the .forefront. The idea is Impressed upon me, however, that the women of Portland do not realize the Immensity of the situation here. This local-option law will fail to pass unless you pass it." Tell us how to do it," said some one. "Why. by going to work, doing hard work, and lots of it If you do this the law will be passed, and then It will be for you to say whether saloons shall be estab lished next door to your homes or not. Now, the general plans for the work of your organization should be a large cen tral committee and many subcommittees. There should be a vice-president appoint ed for every ward and a committee with a chairman appointed for every precinct. Then ou should all work, not with the Christian people who you know will vote for local option, but with those who are Indifferent about it. Not with the saloon keeper or the driver of a beer wagon, but the working classes generally. The week before election these committees should make a house-to-house canvass of every precinct In the city, and when election day comes there should be at least five women on duty at every polling place in Port land, asking tho voters to cast their vote for this law." Mr. Flegel concluded bis remarks by c I A GROUP OF LADY AKD GENTLEMEN RIDERS WITH THE NORRIS & ROWE CIRCUS. formance this afternoon.

McDaniel Attempts to Steal In Lodglng-House Full of People. Burglary at night while no one is at home is bold enough, but It remained for F. McDanlels to break Into a lodging-house at 308& Pine street, while the house was full of people, yesterday afternoon. Mrs. R. Hayden, the land lady, has Identified McDanlels, and says she will swear that he is the man whom she saw climb from the window of one of her rooms. "I was In my own apartments, and started out Into the hall, when I heard someone open the window of James Phillip's room," said Mrs. Hayden, "and knowing that both Mr. and Mrs. Phil lips were out, I hurried to see who it was. Imagine my surprls'e when I saw a man spring through the window, hurriedly pull down the sash, turn and face me and ask, "is the landlady in?" "I was so surprised that I stammered out that she was not In. Then the man rushed downstairs and I called W. F. Haggard, one of the roomers. Mr. Hag gard caught a glimpse of the man as he left the house, and grabbed up his coat and hat and followed him for an hour or more, until he spied a police man, and the burglar was arrested." When arrested by Officer Goltz. Mc Danlels was with a young fellow who gave his name as Earl Goodman. Both said that they arrived hero together from Eastern Oregon last night. Both men have been in Jail before and their faces are not strange to the local police.- Nothing was missed from Mr. Phil lips' room, but the room was in disor der and the dresser drawers and trunk had been ransacked, the thief failing to find a considerable 'sum of money wrapped in some clothing in the bot tom of the trunk. lican nominee will make a clean sweep of the state. Mr. O'Neill says that Shoshone Coun ty Is going to make a hard fight for C. W. Beal as Representative In Congress against Burton L. French, the present Congressman. It is the opinion of Mr. O'Neill that if Beal is nominated for Congress, Jenkins will not make much of a fight for the nomination for Governor, and Judge Richards will have a compara tively clear path. Speaking of the mining interests of the state, Mr. O'Neill stated that the output of the Coeur d'Alene district during the past month was greater than it has ever been In its history before. All tne mines are running to full capacity. Tho old agreement re stricting the output has been aban doned and each mine is doing its best. Mr. O'Neill looks for prosperity and plenty of good times In his state.

The Methodist clergy of this city express themselves as much pleased with the selections which the General Conference has made of bishops. The new men are considered strong and the very pick of the august body from which they were elected. General regret is still being expressed that It was necessary to retire those who are superseded by the new ones, but It Is realized that the work of a bishopric Is heavy and a great tax upon a man's phsical as well as mental strength. Great things are predicted in the work of the church the coming four years, and It Is conceded that the strongest men In the body have been chosBn to accomplish It. The Rev. F. Burgette Short, of the Taylor-Street Church, talked of the newly elected dignitaries last night, and spoke In an Interesting eln of three of them whom he knows personally. Bishops Ber ry, McDowell and Neely. He thinks they are all great men and that the conference could not have made better selections. "Our new bishops," he said, "are schol ars and represent the flower of Method ism. They will add education, adminis trative and aggressive force to the already distinguished body of bishops, and I pre dict the greatest achlecments for Meth odism within the next four years. "I sincerely regret to see six noble men retired, but such is the economy of our church, and must be expected. However, their places hae been filled with the strongest men In our church, and person ally I am proud of them all." SPECIAL SALE.
