HATIKIIAV.
The day ncncd much brlgliter than
Friday and It was soon apparent that a
large crowd would attend. It I esti
mated that 4000 ja'oplo were present
during tho day.
At 10 o'clock the people were led to
the grounds by the Monmouth, Dixie
and InilciMMidoncc bauds, Theuihlrcs
by the president pro tern, of the day,
E. P. Pentium!, In which he compared
the prosperous and happy condition of
tlie aople In Oregon, with tho suffer
ing In (lie Sandwich islands on account
of scarcity of nil n, was apprriprlato to
tho occasion,
Ilcv, II. H. Ill-own, of Salem, was
then Introduced and in a most Interest
ing and eloiiiciit manner told the pco
plo why they should attend picnics
and enjoy tlie recreation, Ho aald:
"You work from morning until night,
aud from Monday until Saturday, and
why? Pecauso you want to make
money. When you have made enough
nroney, then you still continue to ork,
and never stop, because you do not
kuow how to enjoy what you have
earned. Money ha no value except
ing to spend It, aud It Is the wise man
whospendsit with prolll. You women
who liavo used up the best day of your
life in one unceasing round of toll,
where It 1 work, work, work, all the
time, stop and rest. We do not In our
mad rush for money stop to enjoy our
selves. And yet as long us the division
of wealth Is so unequal, we must con
tinue to grind, grind along. One per
son living In ease, aud another a slave,
one idler and one worker, doing the
work of both. Homo of us work too
much. Wo all should work, but the
work should bo divided. When ft bet
tor stato of nft'ulra exists then we can
have more of these social gatherings,
more picnics, Y'our boys sec you work
ing all the time, with uo vacations,
sometimes not oven Sunday, and tho
work becomes drudgery. Give the
boys a vacation. Let them have a day
off, then they come back with renewed
wist for work."
There were ninny good points made
tho speaker, and the audience
