THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. JUNE 15, 190P. ALL IN ONE GLASS 'Dishonest Men, Rich or Poor, Alike to Roosevelt. THEIR VICES ALL THE SAME President Addresses College Gradu ating Class, Defining Duty of Good Citizen Wage War on Corruption and Vice. Washington, June 14. President Roose velt today attended the 87th annual com mencement of Georgetown College, con ferring degrees and prizes awarded and delivered a brief address to the students who were graduated. In his address the President said that, on account of their superior advantages, the graduates owed a peculiar obligation to their country, and that the people had 'a. right to expect them to be of value and 'nervice to the country. The President urged the young men to wage relentless 'war on vice and corruption and dishon esty in every walk of life, irrespective of the social condition of the dishonest man, but cautioned them not at any time to endeavor to array classes against one art other. In conclusion, he spoke of the advan tages of athletic sport in college life, and nald the true athletic training and spirit might be carried by each man into his after life. This spirit, he said, might be summarized as follows: "Don't flinch: don't foul, and hit the line hard." The President said in part: Do not attack the por man who Is dis honest, or the rich man who is dishonest, as a member of a clans; attack him simply because he is dishonest. AVage war relent lessly on every -mam of wealth who does what la wrong. Attack in every way the Iniquity of the corporation. But remember, you men or education, to whom we have a right to leok for leadarrhip. that you do the great est possible wrong if ynu train people to an chllquenees of vision which shall make them condemn wealth lnetead of condemning crooked wealth: which ehall make them fail to see that the real test is honesty as against dishonesty. i ne wealthy corruptionist and the Hour demagogue who denounces all wealth, rep resent not opposite vices, but the same vices developed under different conditions. You may rest assured that the poor man who envies and hates the rich man, the arrogant rich man who looks down upon and disre- Tarda his duty toward the poor man, would each commit the faults of the other If for tune placed him In the opposite position.

' COAST DEFENSES ILLY MAXXED Senate Committee Iteports Favor ably BUI to Increase Efficiency. WASHINGTON, June 14. The Senate committee on military affairs today or dered a favorable report on a bill to re organize and Increase the efficiency of the artillery of the Army. It provides for the separation of the field from the coast artillery. The change will require five years to effect, and will result in an in crease of 296 officers and 6197 officers an men. The increase in men will be 5053 coast artillery and 85S field artillery. The cost the first year Is estimated at J2.000.ono, and after perfection at about J2.6O0.O0O additional. The cost of addi tional quarters Is estimated at J3.500.000. The bill is identical with that submit ted by the Secretary of War and with the bill which is now before the House committee on military affairs. Senator "Warren In his 'report pointed out the critical condition existing in the coast artillery, Btatlr.g that it was possi ble to man only one-third of the guns, power plants, searchlights, etc., now in place, and that the others are in the hands of caretakers. He stated that in the event of war two-thirds of our coast defenses would stand Idle until recruits could be sufficiently Instructed to handle its complicated mechanism. Georgia Fastest Battleship.

BENSON TAKES HIS SEAT Burrows liaises Technical Objection to Certificate of Senator. WASHINGTON, June 14. Hon. A. W. Benson, appointed by Governor Hoch to succeed J. R. Burton as Senator from Kansas, was inducted into office immedi ately after the beginning of today's ses sion of the Senate. His credentials were presented by his colleague. Long, by whom he was escorted to the Vice-President's desk, where the oath of office was administered. Before the administra tion of the oath, Burrows, chairman of the committee on privileges and elec tions, called! attention to an irregularity in tha Governor's certificate. He pointed out that according to the certificate the appointment is made, not only to till the vacancy but "until the Legislature shall elect." "Literally construed," said Burrows, "in case the Legislature should fall to elect, the appointee would hold office for life." He added, however, that he did not count upon such a contingency, and said he would make no objection to Mr. Benson's taking his seat. The new Senator was given a desk Among the new Republican Senators, who sit on tr Tatic side of the cham bef. Character Sketch of Oregon's New Bishop Rev. Charles Scaddingls a Sound Churchman, a Successful Organ izer, An Entertaining Lecturer and a Lover of Outdoor Sport. "WENTT years ago the Rev. Dr. Rainsford, the distinguished rector of St. George's Church, New York City, se cured as an assistant a young Canadian priest toy the name of Scadding. St. George's was one of the largest parishes in the United States, and young Scad- ding's position was a responsible one. But as he took his assigned parts in the serv ices, preached his occasional sermons and performed such pastoral work as was in trusted to his hands, both rector and par ishioners saw in him a man of promise. People said of him "That young man will make his mark." The prophecy has been fulfilled. Dr. Rainsford 8 assistant has risen step by step, and today he is bishop- elect of the Diocese of Oregon. This bishop-elect, the Rev. Charles Scad- ding, of Li Grande. 111., was born in To ronto. Ontario, in 1S62. He was educated at Trinity University, of the same city. and the fact that he won a silver medal for bis work in English shows that he was a good student. He was not a book worm, however, being prominent in ath letics. Ordained to the diaconate in 188o by the bishop of Toronto, and a year later ad vanced to the priesthood by the same bishop, he went at once to bt. George s Church, New York, where he remained five years. Here he not only did the good work previously referred to, but received valuable training under that prince of or ganizers and that bundle of energy, that regular storage-battery, so to speak, Dr. Rainsford. A call to Grace Church, Middletown. N. Y., led to a severance of his connection with St. George's. This was not a large parish, but he made the most of his opportunities, and was so conspicuous ly successful in his limited Held that when, in 1891, the strong and notable par ish of Trinity. Toledo, Ohio, found itselt in need of a new rector, the choice of its vestry fell upon him. This, by the way. is the parish of which the Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, the clertco-novelist. Is now rector. Accept!- the call to Trinity, Mr. Scadding had a successful rectorate of five years. A notable event of that period was his marriage in 1895 to Miss Mary Fomeroy, of Toledo, a descendant of General Seth Fomeroy, of Revolution ary fame. In 1SS6 Mr. Scadding was prevailed upon to accept the rectorship of Em manuel parish. La Grange, 111., a flour ishing suburb of Cnlcago, and here he is at present. For ten years he has carried on his vigorous work in the parish, and holds 'high rank among the clergy of the diocese of Chicago. When he took charge the parish was heavily in debt, but five years ago he devised a financial plan which . i successfully carried out and which has given to the parish an unincumbered property consisting of a new Gothic stone church, parish house and rectory valued at $90,000, and occupying a half block. The parish house affords ample accommodation for Sunday school and guilds and contains a well-equipped bowling-alley and gymnasium. The rec tory is the scene of lavish hospitality and all parishioners, rich and poor alike, are cordially welcomed. Mr. Scadding's popularity Is evidenced by the fact that a year ago the vestry add ed $500 to his salary. A few years ago Mr. Scadding, while not neglecting his duties as a parish priest, entered upon an interesting ca reer as a lecturer. He prepared several stereoptlcon lectures on "The Church in America," and has given them in various parts of the country and in SCADDING IS BISHOP. Continued From First Page.) choose the right man. He said he did not have anything against Rev. Mr. Scadding, and. In fact, came to the convention not prepared to say which candidate he would vote for. Dr. Morrison emphasized the fact that he came to hear the merits of ail the candidates and if he could be con verted to believe that Rev. Mr. Scadding was the better fitted candidate he would undoubtedly vote for him. Then he gave the name of his candidate. It waa that of the Rev. Frederick W. Clampett, D. TJ., of Trinity Church, San FVanclsco, Cal. Just at that moment a highly interest ing and stormy scene took place on the floor of the convention. Rev. P. K. Ham mond Interrupted the speaker and aked whether it was true or not what he had heard yesterday morning that if Rev. Mr. Scadding should be elected Dr. Clampett's party would lodge a protest. Then with the permission of the assembly he put the question to Rev. M. J. Goodheart, who has been staying with Dr. Morrison for the last few weeks, whether he had said that or not. Calls It Malicious Lie. Rev. Goodheart rose and after a few ex planatory words in which he said how he ever came to mention the word "protest," he cried out that the person who was cir culating the report was guilty of a de liberate and malicious lie. A general hush greeted the speaker and the large assem bly did not know for a moment what to do. The speaker, however, grasped the moment and ruled for Immediate order. Dr. Morrison then took up his Inter rupted address, and, saying that at home Rev. Mr. Scadding could not be elected to the bishopric, he proceeded to read the numerous letters received from different people who knew the Rev. Mr. Clampett. The letters were from several bishops, vestrymen and laymen of Dr. Clampett's former congregations. From the highly flattering reports, it was evident that a very close race would result between Dr. Scadding and Dr. Clampett, as both were highly commended by all those who knew them. Nominates Archdeacon of Alaska As Dr. Morrison finished his able pre sentation of Dr. Clampett, Rev. H. C. Collins rose and in a few eloquent words presented Rev. Hudson Stuck, archdeacon of Alaska, as a candidate for the blsh oprlc. He said he had no letters, nothing but the character and past record of the man. He spoke of Rev. Mr. Stuck's mag nificent missionary work, and spoke of his candidate as a man of the people. The audience was vastly touched by Dr. Collins address, but it was evident that the candidate did not have any chance of being elected. General discussion then followed. In wntcn many personal remarks were passed between Dr. A. A. Morrison, Dr. P. R. Hammond and Rev. H. M. Ramsey Each sharp retort of the rector of the Trinity Church would be met by a still sharper comment of the leaders of the opposing side, and the heated debates lasted until nearly 6 o'clock in the after noon, when the convention adjourned un til the evening, ready to proceed with the actual selection and vote. Argument Waxes Warm The evening session of the convention was called to order at 8:15 o'clock and the large hall waa packed with delegates and ELECTED EPISCOPAL I y - !

CHARLES SCADDING, England. To enable him to make a lecture tour of England his parish at La Grange voted him a three months' leave of absence. These lectures have given him a wide and favorable repu tation, and are highly indorsed by bishops, clergy and the press, both sec ular and religious. The Cedar Rapids, la., Gazette says: "His lecture is not the learned discourse of the student who has searched the authorities for arguments to demonstrate the position and work of the Episcopal Church. It is the stralght-away talk of the man who believes in his position, is opti mistic in ills outlook, definite and con structive in his teachings, has a sense of humor, and Is quick to grasp the points of human' interest. No one who heard the lecture last night can now say he does not believe In missions." Oregon people are highly favored in deed in that they will soon have the opportunity of hearing these lectures loyal churchmen, who came to hear the discussions. Rev. W. A. M. Breck opened the ses sion with a few remarks on behalf of Dr. Clampett. He said that Dr. Clampett was a man after President Roosevelt's heart, had seven children and, if elected, would naturally increase this state's pop ulation. A general ripple of laughter met the remarks. Rev. H. M. Ramsey then rose and in a few direct words explained the situation. He denied Dr. Morrison's statement that Dr. Clampett was the moving force In the Episcopal Church of California, and added that few congregations would speak ill of their pastor after he is gone.

At a meeting of the elders and trustees last night what has heretofore been known as the First , Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Portland. East Twelfth and Taylor streets, was changed to the Hawthorne Park Presby terian Church. This is in line with the organic union of the branches of the two Presbyterian churches, which have been united. The two branches are now one. and it only remains to continue the work of consolidation of Presbyteries and churches, and the elimination entirely of the name Cumberland. The Portland church Is the first to take steps in this direction since the meeting of the general assemblies that finally united the two branches, although the other Cumberland churches of the state had taken some action tentatively. The Portland Cumberland Presbytery still remains, but It Is now a Pres bytery without the name Cumberland, and It will be merged into the larger presbytery. ' 1 The name Hawthorne Park Presbyterian Church was selected for the reason the church Is located in Hawthorne Park, and it was considered fit ting. Rev. E. Nelson Allen, the pastor, presided at the meeting. The Haw thorne Park Presbyterian Church is In a prosperous condition In finance and membership. The congregation Is expected to ratify the selection of the name, probably next Sunday. BISHOP OF OREGON OF LA GKA GE, IIX. and seeing the many views. One of the lectures is entitled "Picturesque Alas ka," and includes views of Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. As to the bishop-elect's personal characteristics: His fondness for ath letics which manifested itself in his college days has not deserted him. He is often found on Saturday afternoons in Summer, playing a vigorous game of golf, or off with some 20 choir boys playing baseball. He is much interested In work with young people, and is In close touch witli them both in pleasure and worship.- He is described by one who knows him intimately as "a sound churchman, broad in sympathy, char itable in his criticism and modern In his ideal of work; an able preacher. thorough organizer, and very strong In his parochial work. Mr. Scadding is the author of several widely-circulatingf books and pam phlets. Dr. Clampett had never shown any mis sionary zeal, and pointed out that in near. Iy seven years of Dr. Clampett's rector ship in San Francisco the number of adult baptisms was below that of his own church, St. Stephen s, which was1 many times smaller. Eulogizes Rev. Mr. Scadding. Then he spoke of Rev. Mr. Scadding's great achievement in La Grange, where he has built up a large church, paid the debt and now the church property was worth over J100.000. He said that in La Grange, which was only a small suburb of Chicago, every tenth man was an Episcopal communicant, due to the iin- ceasing efforts of Its pastor. Rev. Charles Scadding. Rev. Mr. Ramsey further said this was a missionary diocese, and that a man who had been rector In a large city church would not be a suitable man for the Oregon bishopric. As. Rev. Mr. Ramsey took his seat. Rev. Dr. Morrison sprang up, and, refer ring to the last speech of "a young brother who was only ordained a year said if that gentleman wouia de liver another speech like that Dr. Clam pett would surely be elected, tie men said that he found an unanticipated Bpirlt in the debates where, by lnuendos ana Insinuations, the delegates tried to cast slurs upon his candidate. A nnmher of the clergymen then en gaged In a heated debate, until the chair man, calling for order, reminded tne aei oirsLtea that the constitution provided for the nomination of the candidates and then discussion as to the merits ot eacn one could take place. Th nnen ballot was decided upon, and the names of Rev. Mr. Scadding, Rev. Mr. Clampett and Rev. Hod son Stuck were placed upon the board, ready tor the vote. A hat was improvised as a bal lot-box, and the delegates walked up to the secretary and deposited their votes in the hat. After the votes of the 25 clergy men were taken the secretary proceeded .mint them, -while one of the tellers marked on the board the number of votes received by each candidate. It was a close race from the start. Scadding would get one vote, followed by one ror i-iomnit .Then one vote appeared for Rev. Mr. Stuck. Finally Rev.

As one of the lay representatives was seen to emerge from the room, tne targe hall which Just the minute before was full of voices immediately hushed. The layman only asked for a representative, who was absent. This was taken as an intimation of a tie, and as another hour noised without results the clergymen passed a resolution asking the laymen to adjourn and continue their debates tnis morning. Just then, however, the lay men came out. Laity Concurs In Election. With the raniditv ot lightning the word waa naased that the election of Bishop Scadding had been concurred In.

Several of ua read The Oregonlan's editorial headed "The Bomb Thrower" In The Sunday Oregonlan. June 6. as we have read many of your editorlale, with Interest. We also no ticed, some time ago, that Mr. Carnegie. In an interview, stated that he Is opposed to municipal ownership because he is an indi vidualist. Now Individuality Is good In a cer tain degree but Injurious and dangerous to the stability of government when deveiored to an excess by & few of the Carnegie type and class, as to the case in our present Industrial system. It, of course, has a tendency to de stroy the individualism In the many, the em ployed, and this finally and surely leads to the destruction of good government. Municipal ownership relieves us of many of the capitalist claes of Individualist: but, bet ter yet, socialism, as we understand It, culti vates individualism in all. as It makes no one an industrial bondsman, and all would nave their best faculties developed because all would have a voice In determining how the work should be conducted. Napoleon attrib uted Rome's greatness to the fact that no one carried the odium of defeat, because all shared the responsibility. A criticism, or any comment on this letter or on this topic, from you would be read with much interest. A. RANDOLPH, JR. V. P. FIIROBS.

Wash., June 14.- News that the schooner Argus was re ported abandoned and afire off Cape Flat tery tonight occasioned no surprise among shipping men here, who had been expect ing Just such a fate for the vessel ever since she entered the lumber trade be tween the Sound and San Francisco. The vessel is provided with gasoline auxiliary power, with the object in view of saving towage bills, and it is mora than probable that some difficulty with, this feature aboard the vessel was re sponsible for the conflagration. The Argus, which is owned by the Pa cific Shipping Company, of San Francisco, sailed yesterday morning from Port Gam ble, lumber-laden for San Francisco. The tug Holyoke, which was dispatched to search for the Argus, is admirably fitted for the -work, being provided with mon ster fire pumps, which will be available to save vessel if such Is possible.
