REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT MENACED
President Taft Takes Firm Stand In
Trouble Which Is Now
Blamed On Veterans
In Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 16 Notice
was served on Cuba by the State De
partment today that the United States
would intervene unless the veteran
organization of the republic ceased to
nullify the laws guaranteeing a re
publican form of government in the
island. The government's attitude
was set forth in the following note,
presented formally today to the Cu
ban government:
"The situation in Cuba, as now re
ported, causes grave concern to the
government of the United States.
"That the laws intended ' to safe
guard free republican government
shall be enforced, and not defied, is
obviously essential to the mainten
ance of law, order and stability in
dispensable to the status of the Re
public of Cuba in the continued well
being of which the United States has
always evinced and cannot escape a
vital interest.
"The President of the United
States therefore looks to the Presi-I
dent and government of Cuba to pre
vent the threatened situation which
would compel the government of the
United States much against its de
sires, to consider what measures it
must take in pursuance of the obliga
tions of its relations to Cuba.''
It was upon reports of Minister
Beaupre that today's note was based.
Minister Beaupre reported from Ha
vana that in defiance of a decree
issued by President Gomez, forbid
ding officers of the army and rural
guards to participate in politics, many
army officers and rurales attended a
meeting Sunday night of the National
Council of Veterans an organization
of veterans of the Cuban War of In
dependence. Such participation also
is prohibited by law.
The veterans have been active in
the past three months in attempting
.-to have displaced from the civil ser
vice persons who sympathized with
the Spanish cause in the rebellion.
Press dispatches today indicated that
the veterans were threatening to co
erce members of Congress to nullify
the law regarding the participation
of the military in politics.

EVANGELIST EVANS DOES NOT
BELIEVE IN MAKING CON

'DOUBTING THOMASES HIS THEME
"Many Sinners White-Washed, But
Only Christ's Atoning Blood
Can Wash White," De
clares Speaker.
The revival campaign at the First
Baptist church continues with un
abated interest. Evangelist Evans
gives daily Bible reading at 2:30 p.
m.; conducts a meeting for school
boys and girls at 3:30 and preaches
every evening at 7:30. He is a busy
man. The working forces of the
church are engaged heartily in the
work. Special plans are being laid
for effective personal' work outside
the services. Mr. Evans will not
allow promiscuous personal work to
be done in the audience during the
time he is giving the invitation. No
one need feel that he is going to be(
nagged at to become a Christian in
Mr. Evans' meetings. He presents
the gospel with its appeal to the hu
man heart and then asks men to act
in accordance with their convictions.
Mr. Evans Tuesday night spoke on
"Doubting Thomas." The following
excerpts are from addresses deliver
ed Tuesday:
"There is a difference between
white-washing and washing white.
They white-washed Ballenger but
they did not wash him white. So
many sinners are white-washed but
only Christ's atoning blood can wash
white.
"A mother seeing her neighbor's
child in mischief thinks that child
ought to be severely corrected; but
when that same mischievous deed is
done by her own child she thinks It
cute. So love covereth a multitude
of sins. No mother can long remain
away from a crying baby in distress.
So God the Father and a penitent
man soon come together."
"I am not very much interested in
heaven or hell, but what I want is
a gospel that can make me be what
I ought to be here in Oregon City
and then I can trust GoiTfor ajieaven.
"There are two classes of Chris
tians, first those who have too much
starch and second those who have
too much indigo mixed in their faith.
Too much worldly pride will ruin the
usefulness of a Christian and too
much pessimism is just as hurtful.
"Some people's religion is a burden
to them. They act as if their relig
ion were either a bunion on the foot
or a carbuncle on the neck, whereas
God intended religion should make
people happy.
"Unbelief ia the most unreasona
ble of all sins. It denies the - testi
mony of the best people of the Bible
and of Jesus Christ Himself.
"The higher up you go in God's
grace the more tolerant you will be
come and the greater will be. your
vision of this old world's need.
"When I got religion I did not have
to break away from the old gang
they broke away from me. Our ta3tes
were different."

ers Entertain.
. "The prohibition . movement has
gained such headway that our grand
children will have to go to the dic
tionary to find the meaning of the
word saloon," said F. C. Burk, pres
ident of the Anti-Saloon League of
Oregon at the banquet -of .the Con
gregational Brotherhood Tuesday
evening. "The saloon is not support
ed by the rich or the middle classes,
but by the poorer class. There are
350 saloons in Portland making $5,000
a year, and this money comes from
the laborers. That is the reason there
are so many men destitute when they
are out of work.
"Although there has been an active
prohibition movement only eighteen
years, it is effective in every state
in the union but Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Nevada."
Mr. Burk's subject was "Liberty
Under the Law."
Judge Cleeton, of Multnomah coun
ty, spoke upon "The Unequal Distri
bution of Wealth," declaring that the
producers were receiving too little
for their products and the consum
ers paying too much for what they
purchased. He thought the middle
men were deriving too large . profit,
and suggested that public markets be
established. The speaker said that
the army and navy entailed a need
less expense, and urged that peace be
established between nations.
Mayor Dimick agreed with Mr.
Burk that the saloons had caused
much evil and urged their regulation.

The water was receding at 4 o'clock

will be in operation Thursday. The
crest of the flood was reached about

point are under water, and the lower
flat in the northern part of the city
is almost inundated. The roadway
leading from Parkplace near St.
Agnes' Baby Home and the track on
the Southern Pacific railroad, is un
der water. Last year the O. W. P.
suffered from a big washout, of their
roadbed but this was repaired and
there is no danger of this happening
at that point with the high waters
of this year. -The Abernethy is ov
erflowing its banks near Fourteenth,
Fifteenth and Washington streets.
The water of that creek is nearing
several homes.
B. T. McBain manager of the Wil
lamette Pulp & Paper Company, said
that all departments except the pulp
mill, wood mill3 1 and 2 would be op
erated as usual Thursday. The pulp
mill closed on Monday, and will re
main closed until the water recedes.

MAYOR TO BE CHOSEN BY COUNCIL
Chief of Police Will Recommend Men
For Night Service Plan
Tentative And May
Be Changed.'
The charter committee appointed
by Mayor Brownell and the - City
Council of 1911, composed of George
A. Harding, chairman; Livy Stipp,
C. Schuebel, R. L. Holman, F. J.
Tooze, H. E. Stevens and William
Andresen, has come to a tentative
agreement regarding the - revised
charter to be submitted to the voters
for approval. When the committee
was appointed it was thought by
many taxpayers that the city should
have a commission form of govern
ment, and while no definite agree
ment has been reached, the commit
tee at present is under the opinion
that a business form of government
would be the better plan.
In conformity with this plan the
committee has taken the charter up,
chapter by chapter and while making
as few changes as possible, has pro
vided a scheme of government which
it is thought will best serve 'the in
terests ' of the city. Messrs. Stipp
and Schuebel have been appointed a
committee to have a typewritten copy
of the charter as revised prepared,
and this will be given the same care
ful consideration as was the old char
ter. The entire scheme jot govern
ment mav hfi rhanp-or! When i
committee' has made all changes it is
deemed necessary it is probable that
a meeting of the taxpayers will be
called and the instrument submitted
to them. The revised charter will
again be considered and eventually
the voters will pass upon it.
The tentative plan is to have five
councilmen, one from each ward, and
two from the city at large. The
councilmen are to elect the Mayor,
the business manager, the city en
gineer, the street commissioner and
tne cnier or ponce. The council will
name the night policemen upon rec-
ommendation of the chief.

done its share and now its '

story of Oregon City is fas
cinatingly told ,and magnifi

Nothing like it has ever
been attempted in this town
before. Its cost price TEN

even more than you will, if
such a thing could be possible.
