Representative McGinnis, judg
ing from a hill which he lins in
troduced into the Kansas legis
lature, must have had a most
distressing experience with the
gentler sex. Tho hill provides
that Kansas women under 15
years of ago who wear ear orna
ments or treat their faces with
cosmetics for the purpose of cre
atine fulse impression will be
deemed guilty of a misdemean
or, and upon conviction will he
subject to fine. Face powder,
ucrfume
ing muter
:;mong the articles the bill would
forbid women to use. Tho bill
provides further that women
may not have their earn pierced
or wear earrings at parties or
any other nlace. McGinnis evi
dently believes that man should
have knowledge of tho real
charms of the woman he pro
poses to marry and not run the
danger of catching an "old hen"
when he imagines he is getting
a "spring chicken." Tho bill
will probably appeal to those who
have been "stung," as Represen
tative McGinnis may have been.
Before the United States Government granted us
a charter to do a banking business, they investigated
carefully and made ABSOLUTELY SURE that there
were men of high CHARACTER, as well as money,
behind our bank. A National Bank is restricted in
doing business according to the National Banking laws,
and the U. S. Government Bank Examiners from the
Treasury Department at Washington see that these
laws are observed.

The Ilevicw has taken up the
light against merging with
Portland at this time. Thcro
tiro a number of rcasomt for tak
ing this course. Merging does
not anpeal to us in any particu
lar, tho editor having once locat
ed in a thriving town that was
"murdered" by consolidation,
and is fully satisfied that it a
had thing to do. In presenting
our arguments from time to
time it will bo with charity for
all and malice toward none. We
hiiiiii not. quarrel witn any man
for having opinions differing
from ours. If we cannot pre
cent argument to convince him
of his error, wo shall respect
him just as much, so long as he
is honest in his convictions. It
is a campaign of education, and
in order not to handicap any one
having arguments to advance in
favor of merging, wo will givo
him spaco freely, provided it
roaches us in plenty of time to
sot tho typo before tho paper is
issued. Tho subject cannot bo
too thoroughly discussed, and
without bitterness. Wo all want
to do what is best for tho city,
and now is tho time to thresh
out this momentous question.
One of our citizens in arguing
in favor of morging St. Johns
with Portland made tho state
ment that if this city had been
part of Portland all the indus
tries, or the greater part of
them located at Kenton would
have been located in St. Johns
instead. Tho folly of this is
readily soon when it is realized
that practically all tho industries
of Kenton are situated outside
tho city limits of Portland, thus
escaping payment of city tax.
The only way St. Johns will get
now industries along the water
front will bo through a lossening
in price of land. Special in
ducements woro mado to get tho
industries at Kenton, in tho wav
of cheap sites. Several of them
would have located in St, Johns,
perhaps, could they have Becured
sites at as low price as at Ken
ton. Tho merging with Port
land will have absolutely noth
ing to do with our getting new
industries. Tho topography of
the country will not bo changed
neither will our environments,
or naiurai advantages outer a
particle by merging. Tho Wil
lamette will How in tho snmo
channel, and tho railroads will
remain as they are. It would
bo no more advantageous for an
industry to locato ncro it wo
wpro a part of Portland than if
wo were not. Any talk to the
contrary is "hot air." Thero
might be a probability, in tho
event of merger, that some of
our industries might bo compell
ed to vacate purts of streets
that thoy now occupy through
tho sanction of our city council,
and a fow other disadvantages
might ensqe, but certainly no
benefit to industries in any way
could bo expected through morg
Editor Review: Mr. Charles
Jumbling Anderson seemed dis
posed to unburden his mind to
some extent in a breezy and yet
hysterical article in last week's
Review. Tho way ho dodges
and hedges around tho subject
he started out with in the be
ginning of his articles reminds
one of a chicken that has just
been decapitated the manner
in which he flounders hero and
there. In tho beginning of his
latest brilliunt effusion he recites
a littlo poetry, probably in an
effort to keep his courage up.

derson's article gives evidence
that ho has recently been at
tending tho night school ho
speaks about, and thero is a ray
of hope that if ho continues in
his studies with unabated vigor
ho may oven be able to under
stand English as it is written in
the city charter. Ho asks tho
writer to get an opinion for him
from tho city attorney, but I
would prefer that Mr. Anderson
see tho city attorney personally,
as first hand information is by
far tho moro satisfactory. As
Mr. Parker lived in Willamina
for n year or two, ho probably
understands soveral languages

but it wasn't. I should have
covered this point in my last ar
ticle, for I might hnvo known
that Mr. Anderson would fal
into tho "trap" and probably
tracturo his delusions.
Mr. Anderson glorifies the
"knocker" ns tho man who
makes tho world go around, and
then terms mo abusive because
I rather plainly intimated that
ho was one. It does seem to bo
a difficult thing to pleaso some
people. Mr. Anderson states
that his friends tell him that
they fail to find any attack on
tho cooperage plant in his arti
cies. bureiy these mends aro
most considerate, and their dis
sembling should bo greatly ap
preciated by Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Anderson uses much spaco
in which Indians, foreigners,
Hindus, Commercial Club, Rock
efeller, Carnegie, Tom Word and
the Gatton tract aro hopelessly
commingled, and then follows it
up with something about pick
handle brigades and bouquets.
Probably this is what Mr. An-
I may expect to bo excused on
tho ground that I "am long on
words and short on logic." To
save Mr. Charles Jumbling An

moro vials of bitterness upon
tho Liommcrciul Ulub, I will con
fess that I nm not n member of
that body and do not expect to

son could be.
Now if Mr. Anderson will lay

At tho courteous invitation of
St. Johns Christian Church tho
Rov. Charles M. Smith, local
Catholic pastor, replied to eight
specific statements of Rev. U.K.
Berry on Saturday evening,
Feb. 13, 1915, at 8 o'clock.
The church was crowded, with
many standing and numbers un
able to gain admission listen
ed through tho open windows.
For almost two hours tho audi
enco followed tho speaker with
closest attention. Many nrgu
ments were advanced nnd docu
mentary proofs offered on the
proposition in question. Below
is a synopsis pf points explain
ed nnd developed in tho courso
of the lecture:
First. (Words in quotations
aro by Rov. C. M. S ) "Regard
ing the office of the Inquisition
at Rome nnd Galileo, your ver
sion ot this is entirely wroncr.
4No new idea In astronomy could
be introduced without asking
the church' is a sample of dis
torted, misapplied and discolor
ed fncts."
Above is ono of many similar
attempts to prove the Catholic
Church to bo hostile to science,
from principle or practice.
Churchmen opposed Galileo's
theory that sun was fixed and
earth revolving because his
proofs were erroneous and in
sufficient and apparently this
idea contradicted Scripture. In
book of Joshua 10 v. 12-3-4 we
rend: "Then spake Joshua 'Sun
stand thou still upon Gibeon,
and thou moon, in the valley of
Aijalow. And the sun stood still
and the moon stayed," etc., etc.
the churchmen in question err
ed, (to err is human), but their
action is no argument
1. Against tho infallibility of
the othcial church.
2. To show that the church
was or is hostile to science from
principle or in practice.
To be fair and enlightened.

becond. "You say that since
1229 . . . thero is a law of the
Catholic church forbidding her
members to read tho Bible, "etc.
First copy of Completo Bible

CP thrum A n fl07 TTirot ennv in

languages.

2. Monks furnished churches.

is. individual con es were ex
tremely costly.
4. Every eliort was mado to
diffuse biblical knowledge.
whatever restrict ons wero
mado upon Bible reading were
very limited ns to place, time,
nnd scope, and wero to protect
people and God's word from Bi
ble vandalism. Today, as in the
past, the Biblo is read publicly
in our churches, found every
whero in Catholic homes, sold
by tho millions in bookstores.
Tho church even grants nn in
dulgence to those who rend it at
least fifteen minutes dnily.
xnird.- " iou say that ac
cording to Catholic teaching,
souls can bo bought out of Pur
gatory for money."
According to Catholic teach
ing:
l. rurgatory is n state ot pu
nncation to which uod's mercy
for a time consigns certain
souls.
z. xno iattniui on earth can
apply Christ's merits to those
souls by prayer and works of
charity nnd religion: tho offer
ing of Mass. the Holy Eucharist:
oy gaming certain indulgences.
b or ottering Mass nubliclv in
tho church, the priest sometimes
(not nlways) receives a sma
stipend of one dollar or less. If
this is,"buviner souls out of
Purgatory," then the Protestant
minister would be selling the
gospel for money, when ho is
given something for preaching,
performing ceremony of mar
riage, etc.
Fourth. "You say in effect
thnt according to Catholic doc
trine, by paying a sum of money
for indulgence. Catholics may
nave their sins remitted."
1. Word indulgence from
Latin "indulgere" means to
treat kindly, gently.
a. it never gives icense to
commit sin:
a. It never forgives any .sin.
whether small or great.
4. Lannot be bought with
money.
Ordinary conditions for train
ing plenary (complete) indugence
are:
Sincere sorrow for all past
sins, even the least.
Receiving Holv Communion
(sometimes confession).
bpeciai prayers for mankind
and also the church.
borne special good works rare
ly an nims for poor or some
pious purpose.
fifth. "You say that the Je-
suits have taught and teach the
doctrine of expediency, that the
end justtnes the means. This
is a time-worn slander, utterly
false."
Sixth. Reverend Berrv stated
that the Council of Trent per
mitted and Saint Licouri taucrht
that clerics were allowed to com
mit certain detestable sins, pro
vided they pnid the fines impos
ed. Tho very sources which nre
supposed to prove tho above de
testable slander tench:
1. Tho sin in question is in
trinsically evil in itself, nnd
therefore never permitted;
2. A cleric committing that
sin would bo punished ns fol
lows: First ofTence deprived of one
third of his income;
Second offence deprived of
all income and suspended.
Third otFcnco ox-communicated.
Seventh. "Your statement
that Pius IX. officially branded
ns heretical such principles ns
separation of church nnd state
(in countries like America) is
untrue." ,
To understand this meaning, i
not only tho propositions, but
their explanation bv Pone Pius
himself nnd correlative mnttcr
must bo consulted.,
