Lewis has called attention to the fact that it is the usual thing in emergency clauses to have the words "for the immediate pro tection of the peace, health and safety" attached thereto, and intimates that owintf to it be ing the usunl thins in amergency causes, it is not as bad as it would appear to the uninitiated. In support of his assertion Mr. Lewis forwarded 1 copy of House Bill No. 484, (oding ex clusive jurisdiction over Crater Lake National VarV to the United States, showirg that the emerirencv clause therein con tained the words quoted ahove. Therefore, it is to bo assumed that the words really do not mean what they say; that neither the peace, health or safety is menaced; .hat it is only a matter of form und jimv ble of words. That being the case, Mr. Lewis must bo held blameless for using them in the emergency clause m the merger bill. The speed in which he in troduced and secured the pnsH ago of the bill is only a com pliment to his oncryg and re sourcefulness. FRIENDS, SCHEMERS,f UN AND EXTRAVAGANCE WILL OET IT UNLESS YOU PUT IT INTO THE 4osr Friends are few. Those so-called fair-weather friends who borrow vour money are in the same class with the schemer who tries to get you to invest it in wild-cat enterprises.

An derson takes occasion once more to knock the plant now being constructed by the Western Cooperage Company, near the dry docks. It seems that Mr. Anderson is never happy unless he has his hammer out and is knocking, knocking.

It was vainly hoped that this would be an economical legislature, from start to finish. About the first thing it did was to waste three days figuring how to dispose of superfluous clerks and it tor minuted in every man getting a "pretty stenographer," if ho iiau tno wisdom to select a pretty one. Thus the state is to the bad S12.000 or $15,000. Tho stenographers, most of them, draw as much or moro salary, HE present mili tary styles of dress require a special style of corsetand brassiere. The military style means, an erect form, and a trim looking figure. You can get all of this, combined with comfort in our new styles of military cor sets and brassieres.

" Committee. tho construction of a roadway from ono of its leading thorough fares and giving access to tho river front, this same Mr. An derson commences to hammer. He is the only man in tho entire city Hint I have so fur heard who objects to tho expenditure of tho monev for the purpose of giving this plant an outlet. as well us tno dry uocks ana other industrial plants Hint may locate in that vicinity Inter on. I hud consulted as many tax payers as I could about the road way, nnd ull fnvored its con struction by tho city. I nlso consulted lho wishes of many tuxpuyers, upon the pnrk ques tion, nnd nlso upon the proposi tion to sell tho city dock. Of the Intter only 11 out of 185 in terviewed did not fuvor its sale. Mr. Anderson nsks three ques tions thaL seems to bo worrying dm a grout deal: No. 1- "Will you kindly iniorm tno puniic where you got authority to spend $0,000 for the road to tho pro posed cooperage?" The city council has full and undeniable jKiwor to construct a roadway within tho city limits where deemed expedient and l'his power is do rived from tho city charter. No. 2 "Are we not paying interest on this money'" Hud Mr. Anderson been a citizen of the United States longer, he would know that in this country not oven a municipality can bor row money without paving in terest thereon. The days of philanthropy are nast. No. ;i "Uoes the city council posess security or assuranco that this proposed cooperage will ever niaieriniiZJr to the or dinary mortal who has eyes to goo, ull tho nssurnnco necessary is to make a trip to the site of the new plant and open his eyes. He can there plainly see whoro thousands and thousands of dol lars have already been spent upon the new plant. If ho talks with tho contractor who bus the contract for construction of the mill, he will learn that construe Hon is going on us rapidly us possiblo: thut us tho earth ex cavated from the river bed be comes settled tho work pro grosses. If more evidence than this is needed, go to the oihee of the I'ort of I'ortlund Commission and read the lease of the West ern Cooperage company, where oy tno lease ot tno company is contingent upon its completion of the plant within ono year irom date of lease, and a guar antee that not less thnn ono hun dred nnd fifty bunds will bo em ployed ut any ono timo during the lease period, Even asocial ist ought to comprehend that this is pretty good assurance. Mr. Anderson further states: As I read the city charter, the taxyapers are to bo consulted before city funds are spent." Tho poor fellow. His ignorance is truly pathetic. As a matter of fact city funds are spent every week without consulting But some of theso gentlemen are probably bachelors and it is about tho only chance they have to associate with likely young women. It docs look a little unfair, however, that tho state shall have to discriminate by paying the courtship expenses of only a fnvored portion of its citizens. Had the stenography work been let by contract, or had twenty-flvo competent steno graphers under tho direction of tho head clerk been assigned to the job tho work would have been done as well, tho stnte would have saved substantially. the session would probably have been several days shorter, and there would have been saved n few heartaches at home.

To relievo Mr. Anderson's misapprehension, I might further stnto that the tax payers aro never consulted bo fore city funds are expended except in caso of bond isuse. Certainly not for stroot work. As to tho amount of money tho Port of Portland will contribute toward tho roadway in question, tho sum has not been do fin to v decided upon, but Mr. Anderson enn rest assured that it will at least bo enough to pay tho in terest lor some timo to come.

Tho trog in question is Mr. Munson's Western Cooperage plant," says Mr. Anderson, but ho might aptly havo added that tho "spit" represented Mr. Anderson. Air. Anuerson need throw no bouquets at himself as being tho cause of tho Gatton tract not boing so far purchased. Tho matter of purchaso was in definitely postponed not on ac count of Mr. Anderson's "at tack," but in spite of it. Now, if Mr. Anderson wnnts to continue to knock the plant of tho Western Cooperage corn puny, which I believo will be tho grentest industriul nnd labor employing institution that has yet located in St. Johns, there seems to be nothing to do but to let him spit." Yet he should be consistent enough not to prate about the brotherhood of man nt tho same time. True brotherhood of man teaches nro- viding of employment for man kind.

Jun. 25, 1915-To the (Rev.) Charles M bmith. uear air: xour com munication in the St. Johns Re view of Jnnunry 22, was handed to me on last baturday evening, and replying to it, would sny that some of tho statements which I mndo in my lecture on "Tho History und Touching o tho Roman Catholic Church' con be proved by history, und others from Roman Catholic writers. I havo never doubtec the correctness of tho histori cal statements, but if you can prove that they ure false, I am ready to reject them, and so are the members of the Christian church at St. Johns. If you are a minister in good standing in your church, you will be tendered the use of tho building in wnicn the lectures were de livered to prove that the state ments I made are false. Aro you willing to affirm that the Roman Catholic church is iden- ticnl in faith nnd practice with the church described in the New Testament? I am willing to dony this proposition at any time and place convenient for both parties. A friendly dis cussion might result in great good. 1 would much prefer that you undertake to nrove tnnt the statements 1 made are false before the public than before a committee of three, as you suggest. My lectures have recently Deen printed, uney make a book of over two hundred and fifty pages. If you will get a copy, you can see just what I say and the authorities quoted. um-wil ing to affirm that the church of which I am a member is identical in faith and practice with the New Testament church. f you are as sure of your posi tion as I am of mine, you can certainly afford to try to prove from the Holy Scriptures that you represent the true church of Christ. If you wish to further con sider this matter, please notify the Christian church through W. S. Bean. 133 Olvmnia street. St. Johns, Oregon. Yours truly, G. K. Berry.
