- Francis J. Hsaey delivered an ad

'toad. Sunday evening, on "Good Gov
ernment," .. Over three thousand per
Mi gathered early to bear him, ex-
pectin that tie would have something
mere to say about Senator Pulton
The) only reference he made to the
awator was when speaking of rail-
read, as follows:
"Roosevelt see that In the almost
altsnKed powtr of the railroad to
has exorbitant rates for moving
rr ttomassdIU, amounting to a tax
eel the producer, there Is danger un
less dies corporations are regulated
by a strong arm. Roosevelt Is for
re rotation first If that does not
step- this growing evil, then I am for
government ownership. Rockefeller
hi worth $1,000,000,000 and began
with an oil field. A small group of
men In this country own all of the
on fields, the coal that Is In the
mines, all the gold and silver, all the
vast water powers In our states, all
of our forests from the Mississippi to
the Pacific ocean. The American
people are too prodignl; they -can't
give away these things quick enough.
Roosevelt Is trying to stop It, and
your senators are trying to stop him
from trying to stop It."
"Fulton?" Buggexted a voice In the
audience.
"I did not tell at the church the
other night one-half about Fulton
that I know. I am waiting for his
reply.."

If these offices were elective, or tin

and our delegation would he rellevet

education has been along the line

Mr. Ueney .prefaced his Sunday
night address tjry contrasting the Port
land Of today lth the Portland he
first visited in i03. At that time
gambling was being carried on open
ly. He remarked that kt was not ap
parent tht thscKjr. had suffered any
loss of business from having closed
the gambling hduscs. Be said tha.
the other large cities' of the country
could t testify to the same experience
ind (inserted that the gamblers. of
Wall street had been fattening on the
life-blood of the nation until Presi
dent Roosevelt had concluded recerrtly
to put a stop to their operations.
"The American people are lacking
In mural courage," charged Mr. He
ney, "not In physical courage. There
Is never any trouble in raising an ar
my on short notice to go out and face
guns; death has no terrors for the
American soldier, but when It comes
to the mere doing right for the sim
ple reason that It Is right, we fin
that there are more moral cowards
than there are brave men. The rea
son corruption exists In all of th
large cities of the United States Is be
cause we Americans are not yet suf
ficiently Intelligent In the matter of
self-government.
"Let me say right now that San
Francisco never was much worse,
any worse than each and every other
large city In the United States; and
t could leave the word 'large' off and
not miss the mark far."
This city and county are under
great obligations for the excellent
service rendered by W. A. Worsted
voluntary keeper of the weather rec
ords. Mr. Worstell for more than
seven year has kept an accurate rsc
ord of the weather conditions, each
and every day, without any remuner
ation whatever. The government fur-
nishee the proper Instruments, record
booka and necessary blanks. Over
seven years ago Mr. Worstell reoehred
a book sufficiently large to contain
the complete record for 10 years and
therein are recorded each day's tem
perature and precipitation sloee h
was received. Mrs. Worstell Is entl
tied to due credit also, for undoubted
ly she has been a Interested in assist
Ing In keeping the record aa Mr. Wor
stell, and It ll safe to say that she has
lost many days valuable time during
these seven years had the time been
recorded as carefully as are the
weather reading!, In answering tale
phone cslut from interested persons
desiring to know "How cold II was
last night." If Is a valuable record.

Several years ago there was quite a
general campaign of education all
over the country which did much
good. It would be Interesting to know
how many of the young people and
