Speaks for Home Rule While British I'lag is Draped Above Table at Hotel Portland. With British and American flags grouped at the head of the table, 60 In tensely patriotic eons of the ISmerald Isle banqueted at the Hotel Portland last night and joined 1n the sentiment, "Home Rule for Ireland." The banquet was In honor of Father Murphy, who re turned last week from Philad?lphia, where he attended the convention of the United Irish League. The presence of the British flag was not a part of the programme. It had been left there Inadvertently from the luncheon given Sir John Leng, the noted Scotch editor, at noon but the Irishmen choked down their feelings and allowed it to remain. Before the ban quet was over, however, the for of the British lion was more or less ruffled from the lash of the sharp tongues of several of the speakers. Those present accepted the incident good-naturedly for the most part. Speaker after speaker expressed them selves of the belief that the time was not far distant when Ireland would free herself from tho bonds which now hold down her people and their prosperity, which they said would come in the balm of self-government. They declared the spirit of the Irish people is such that they will conquer in their battle of ages and that they will never give up the fight until they are allowed the rights to which they are entitled. Dr. Andrew. C. Smith presided as toast master. Father Murphy . related in cidents of his visit to Philadelphia where he was sent as a delegate from Oregon to the convention of the United Irish Leasue. He said that It hud been an nounced at the convention that Oregon had contributed more to the cause of Ireland in the fund that Is being raised than any other state in the Union in proportion to population. "That great convention of earnest and patlMottc Irishmen who are trying to up lift old Ireland" teaches us all a spirit of unselfishness." declared Father Murphy. "If you could have Eeen the magnificent assemblage composed of men who were there to help a people who cannot help themselves you would bo doublv proud to be an Irishman," "The spirit of revenge or retaliation does not move the Irish but the determi nation to regain our rights which were purloined and stolen from us is why there is an Irish question today," de clared W. A. "Munly who spoke upon "Home Rule." v"That is why the Irish have an Indictment against England and tho Kngllsh people. The Irish are noted for their allegiance to prin ciple and there will be no compromise. The Irish have their virtues, their noble characteristics and their vices and weak nesses but it must be admitted that they always come out strong, be It for good or for 111." Father Thompson responded on behalf of the Archdiocese of Oregon of the Ca tholic Church. He paid several splendid tributes to Archbishop Christie, who was unable to be present because of 111 health. Among the others who spoke were Col onel P. M. Dunne. J. H. Murphy. Wal lace MoCamant and P. H. D'Arcy. the latter of Salem. Much patriotic feeling and enthusiasm were displayed and the bare mention of old Ireland by anyof the speakers served as the signal for loud and vigorous applause. FROM A MANWHO "KNOWS" Spirits Talk to Men and Prayers Are Answered. ABHLAN"T. T.. Oct. 13. (To tho Editor.) In The OrepinUn of October 10. in th edi torial on PplriUwrn, you mart out on broad frrounds. and you make pome statements which I believe are In a (rreftt meiwure correct. You 4-ay. "Both the orthodox. or ecclesiastical. trll-ls1"1 nd the Irregular, or satanlc, present nothing thnt is not aa old aa humanity. The two cultf differ not at all in their origin, but one of them has had the fortune to rise to (treat power and dominate modern clvllUa tlnn. while the other is humble, persecuted and direpectahle." It to the general belief among Spiritualist that, while there may be many different modes of manifestation that vary from the sensing of an answer to a. silent prayer to the most boisterous demon strntTons seen In a seance for rhys'.cal mani festation, yet they all have one common origin, in the eame sene that humanity has one common origin. . It ts when you asrert, "It Is much more to the point to observe that no alleged revelation from the world of :!rlta has ever Impart M to mankind a sfnsle bit of useful knowledge.' that y-m step aside from clear and logical reafontne. and you place your observation as an established fact, and you will find a great many people who will resent the im plication. As I understand it the. assertion hits the Christian in his feeling that he re ceives anewer to his prayer; so I will let him flffht his own bat t la with you. I will speak for the Sptritualts; but I will quote you further. You say, '"The advancement which the human race has made has beea achieved through Us own efforts, unaided by communications from the spirits, either great or small. It would hs hard, therefore, to point out what benefit splrttU-mi has conferred in any of its forms, and very easy to enumerate its evils." That is hardly a. fair deal on poor humanity; something as old as humanity Itself, and yet nothing good about it. but evil and evil con tinually, without one redeeming feature. But there are thousands living today who are ready to sta:a thai they have "observed' that Fire and Burglars May visit your house and your valuable papers and jewels may be lost. The only safeguard against these is our Safe Deposit Vault, which eannot be robbed or burned. Boxes $i and up per year. Come iu and see how securely we protect your valuables. Oregon Trust 6 Savings Bank Sixth and-AVashington Streets Portland, Oregon thpy have received benefit and consolation, bf ides very important information. We will ac'mit that you from your point of observation may have seen nothing more than what you say, and you have formed an opinion from what you have seen; but that your range of observation has covered the wholes field is another question. There have been other eyes to see and other points to view from, and they bring in a very different verdict from the one brought in by you. Positive statements are not safe things to deal with, particularly where they cover a large ground. An expression of an opinion is all right enough, and its value to the world depends upon the weight it carries to the human mind. To say positively that no good has ever come from communication from the spirits, is placing a man's "don't know" against a great many other people's actual experience and knowledge. The word of the Christian that he has received direct answer to his prayer and consolation therefrom, and It has caused him to lead a happier and bet ter life Is good, apd no outsfde testimony can be brought to bear against it to set It aside. The word of the Spiritualist that he has had communication from some departed friend which has caused him to feel great peace and happiness and to look to higher aims in life, is good. He speaks from what is a positive knowledge to him and no outside negative testimony can have any effect upon it. He speaks from what he does know while they epeak from what they simply think. The whole truth Is larger than any one per son, or class of persons can possibly grasp. And it Is but rational to suppose that the wisest have only small segments of the whoia truth with lots of rubbish and error In con nection, therefore, it is wise to tolerate other people's opinions, and It is profita-ble to dis cuss differences in candor without the feeling that all the rest of the world Is stupid but us. It could not be admitted in the limits of this article for ma to tell what I feel and believe the spirits of the departed are doing; now, and have been doing in the past for us. In the way of our welfare and advancement; or the many good things they have been the means of placing within our reach. 1 THOMAS BUCK MAX. Mr. Buckman seems not to relish tho thought that anything: can be as old as humanity and still be wholly evil. Nevertheless, there are many such things. Malice, envy, hatred and un charitableness will be found among: them. Igrnorance is. there, too, and at Its side stands superstition. .Most of the things that we would be better off without are primeval in their origin. They have come up with us from tho brutes. One by one we are slowly shuffling them off, but the proceas is Ion g and difficult. It Is no reproach to humanity that evils are ancient; but it is something of a reproach that so much good is re cent. One cannot help regretting, for example, tuat the ancients did not un derstand how to transform straight into circular motion; that they had no steam or electricity; that they lived in abject fear of witches, satans and ghosts. What useful information onl any of these matters ever came from the spirit land? BARBER GOES ON RAMPAGE Attacks Son and Threatens to Kill Entire Family. After throwing his 9-year-old son out of the house, breaking up the furniture and threatening to kill his entire family C. F. Sutton, a barber of L,ents, was ar rested last night and looked up in the Countv Jail on a charge of "threatening to kill." Sutton's father-in-law, B. F. Ayers; notified Sheriff Stevens last night that Sutton was on a rampage and creating a general disturbance at his home in Ints. The Sheriff Immediately sent Deputy Bulger to Lents and had Sutton arrested. Sutton at first resisted and made threats to kill the deputy but was finally over powered, handcuffed and taken to the jail. His father-in-law and his wife pro mised to appear in court tortay and swear out the complaint against Sutton. Although Sutton was not drunk when arrested he has been drinking heavily of late.
