Children at th Receiving Bom of the Boys and Girls' Aid Society of Ore gon enjoyed a better Christmas this year than any Christmas In th history of th society. Th reason for this la that outside residents hare taken a personal Interest In th we 1 far of th children and tn several Instances they wer taken to private houses and given a good time and returned to th Homo. Thanksgiving day a friend of th ao-t rlety went to the Institution In th morale and took eight of th children, four boys and four girls, in a taxlcab to bis home, wher they enjoyed a tur. key dinner, after which they wer taken to on of th large picture show in th city. Then they wer returned by auto to th Horn. Saturday befor Ctrl same a woman living on Multnomah street Invited all th children to a party at her residence, and about 16 availed themselves of th Invitation. They wer admitted free. In to a movlng-plctur show on Grand avenu between Buraald and Couch streets, after which they went to th horn or th friend, wh.r they wer served with hot waffle and cocoa, as much as they desired. Candy, nuts and oranges were distributed. Tb chil dren arrived bom In th early vnlng. Another kind-hearted woman who had lost her own child, took four of th llttl girls from th Receiving Horn Chrlstma v to se Santa. Every child, after viewing th stores, was given a present and served with 1c cream and cake. A young woman going to visit her mother In th country Christmas, took with her an I-year-old girl from this Institution to pass th day with her rwn llttl slstsr. Th child returned II day after Christmas laden with presents. Another Instance of charity was s Mbited by th kindness of th firemen of Engine Company No. IV. on East Twenty-eighth street, near East Couch street. Tb llttl boys coming out of school passed th engln house and wer called tn by th firemen and 1 cents was given verjr boy with which to bay candy. BISHOP'S NAMEJS OMITTED Writer Discovers Inaccuracy In His torical Treatise. DALLAS. Or Dec. 1 To th Edi tor. Th other day while looking over a recent historical treatise. "Th World's Work and Its Maksrs. edited and complied In ten large volumes, tor school and college us, by tour distin guished authors, I ran across tb fol lowing voracious excerpt: Proteseor Huxlsy advises thee whs would kaow all thai Is worth kaewlng about phUoeopnr ts reed earsXollr Hobfcss asd Hust-lhl materialist ss4 th. sksptlo s & Hum r vlia ethers, a alt at euaael GHDQSES GAB1NE thst is miens!? B-txIeyan If aa more. Vol iv. pes. no. It la probably unimportant as to what th 1st. Professor Huxley's philo sophical views wer. although, to my way of thinking, there are but few of tb world' great thinkers who excelled him In sticking to th solid basis of facts, and in avoiding th quagmires of metaphysical speculstlon; but, it Is quit another matter when th Intel lectual Integrity of this distinguished scientific thinker Is so brutally and un truthfully assailed in a historical work of large circulation and recognised erudition. Th refutation of this slanderous statement Is to b found In th clos ing remarks of Professor Huxley's preface to his Ufa of Hume, tb Apple ton Company addition. In order to mak my refutation complete I shall have to quota at aom llttl length, as follow: On word, by wsr of parting adrlc to the rising ssnsratloa of English leaders. If It Is roar desire to discourse fluently and learnedly about philosophical questions, be gin with the loolans aad work steadily through to the latest new speculative treatise. If you have a good memory sod a fair knowledge of Ore. Latin. French and German, three or tour years spent in this wag should enable yon to attain your Object. If. on the contrary, yos are animated by the muoh rarer desire for real knowledge; If yon want to get a dear conception of the deepest problems set befor the Intellect of man. there Is ae need, so far as 1 can see. for yo to go beyond the limits of the English tongue. Indeed. If you are press! for time, three Xogllsh authors will suffice, aamsly. Berkeley, Hume and Hobbes. If you win lay your minds alongside the works of these grvat writers not with ths view of tnerslr ascertaining their opinions, still less for the purpose of Indolently rest ing oa their authority, but to ths end of seeing for yourselves how far what each says has Its foundstloa In right reason you will have bad as much sound philosophical training as Is good for any one but an ex pert. And you will have had the further advantage of becoming familiar with toe manner la which three of the greatest mas ters of the English language hare bandied that aobl Instrument of thought. Where can tfcsr ba found. I would ask. a nobler exponent of Christian thought than Berkeley, and yet Hux ley, an agnostic, earnestly recommends to bis readers th philosophical writ ings of this distinguished Christian bishop: but oar college-bred hlstorlane say that ha recommends a materialist and a skeptlo only. Mlrablle dlctu! How few among Christian apologists who have the moral courage to emulate Huxley's splendid example. VERITEST. LOUIS W.

ALL IS STAKED ON TARIFF Bryan Export rd to Oppostr Candi dacy Violently, but Leader of noose Is Xot Man to Ran Away From Conflict. BT HARRT J. BltOWJf. OREOONIAN" .NEWS BL'JtEAU, Wash ington, Deo. 10. The steadily Increas ing popularity of Representative Un derwood, of Alabama, and the fre quency with which he Is being men tioned as a suitable man for Demo cratlo Presidential nominee In 1911 seems to Indicate that Mr. Underwood will appear before the next Demo cratic National convention In other than a darkhors rolo. That Under wood will be presented to the conven tion as Alabama's favorite son Is no longer open to question and It Is mor than likely that many other Southern states will rally to his support on tb first rollcalL But of late It has been observed that Underwood Is mentioned with great favor by Democrats In New York and New England, and tn states to th westward aa well, where no favorite sons have been mentioned for the nomination next year. It Is not to be queatloned that Underwood Is a grow, tng roan, and one with whom the next Democratic convention will bare to reckon. Swath Wants Rewards. Ther are many politicians of Demo cratic faith who .believe the time has come when the Bouth should be re warded for Its long years of unwaver ing loyalty to the Democratic party, and In the Bouth this talk Is strong and persistent. It also Is noticeable that Representative I'nderwood Is ths only Southern roan of distinction who la now being discussed as a possible nominee for President and the fact that others have not come out at a time when the South Is apparently pre paring to demand recognition Is taken to mean that Underwood la generally satisfactory to Southern Democrats. 'Underwood is likely to be one of the chief centers of Interest at the Demo cratic convention next Summer, par ticularly If he goes there with - the backing of the solid South. Not only wilt he play an Important part as the candidate offered by the South, but because of tha fact that he will meet th bitter opposition of William J. Bryan, with whom he quarreled publicly at the special session of Congress. Un derwood la truly representative of the anti-Bryan element In the Democratic party, and will draw Bryan's fire as much and aa strong as will Governor Harmon. Bryan Wilt Not Be Idle. That Bryan will have to be reckoned with Is not to b doubted, for while he has declared be Is not now a can didate for another nomination, few politicians accept this word, and It is thought he still has aspirations. But even if he Is willing to remain out of the race, he will not keep his handa off the convention. He will want a say, and a big say. In the selection of th nominee. And he will mak it his first business to attack Underwood, for Un derwood's wtll be the first name pre sented, Alabama heading the alphabet ical list of states. The South ts one section of th country that has had its fill of Bryan. That section did not want him nomi nated four years ago, and It does not want htm now. When Bryan was chosen, however, tha South did what It regards aa its sacred duty sup ported the Democratic National ticket, even though it preferred other men for the Presidency. To ths average South ern Democrat. Bryan la an impossible candidate, that la to any, the South feels that the Democracy can never win with Bryan at the head of the ticket. Moreover, the South Is grow ing more and more conservative, and is getting further and further away from- Bryan and his radical Ideas.

PHONES MAIN 4152, A prefers, the nomination of a conserva tive Democrat, and one not selected by Bryan, and naturally prefers a Soutlrern man. Fearlessness Already Proved. During the brief time he has been a recognized Democratic leader, Mr. Underwood has demonstrated his fear lessness, and also has shown his will ingness to clash with so popular an Idol as the "peerless one." Having clashed once, be will be willing to clash again next Summer, even though he knows that such a clash may 'cost him many votes In the convention. Underwood, however, does not want the nomination bad enough to wear th Bryan yoke In order to get it. he would rather fight for It, and lose. If need be. though he will make a de termined fight, once hla namo Is pre sented to the convention and will fight to win. Probably Underwood would be the legatee of the Harmon strength, in the event It should be shown Harmon could not land the nomlantlon, for both Underwood and Harmon are of the conservative elemont, and both are strongly anti-Bryan tn their views. Harmon unquestionably possesses great strength In the North and East, and at this time must outrank Underwood, but In the South and West Harmon has not developed much strength as yet, snd In those sections Underwood Is likely to distance him at the outset. Therefore a combination of the Under wood and the Harmon following would give either man a formidable array of votes, and his support would be ample to prevent the nomination of any other candidate now In the field, the two thirds rule still being In vogue In the Democratic convention. Wllsoa Stock Falls OS. Since the November election the Wilson boom has experienced a tre mendous slump tn the East, and talk of the New Jersey Governor lacks that enthusiasm that marked the early days of his campaign for the nomination. Wilson today is a less Important factor than he was prior to November 1. The BANQUET VS OBEGOH CITY SKEWES UNDERTAKING COMPANY 2321 Champ Clark boom Is not taking hold as its promoters would like, and the specter of the Folk indorsement is still a serious obstacle In the path of the Speaker. The Foss boom never amounted to much, outside Massachu setts; the Hadley boom lies dormant, and all others who have been men tioned are still In the "mentioned class. The Understood boom, on the other hand, is showing more growth than any others at the present moment, and If Underwood, through the present ses sion of Congress, continues to develop as he developed last session, and if be makes no serious blunders as Dem ocratic manager In . the House, he should be able to Invade the conven tion with- as good a chance of nomina tion as any rival candidate. Personal ly, Underwood looks to his position on the tariff to strengthen him with the party. And his record on this one Is sue Is likely to make or break him.
