Dewar of Philadelphia, the contestants representing the women of England and the United States respectively. The baroness had been anxious for some time to meet a worthy antagonist among Ameri can society women,' and, though, in the nature of things, it is impossible to name a champion fencer among the women of the United States and Euglaud, the victory of Mrs. Dewar may be said to entitle her to that complimentary distinction. The match lasted only 'seven minutes and was decided by the Judges (who were men, though the Colony is a' women's clubi as having been won by the American by a score of 2 to 1 Mrs Dewar has been studying for five years under the direction of a professional teacher of fencing and tins had frequent practice with the members of the University of Pennsylvania team and of the Fencers' club of Philadelphia The prize of the Colony club contest was a silver cup given by Mrs. Payne Whitney " "v" nominated.

JUDGE LOWELL SCOIS INTERESTS (Continued from page 1.) settled is,- how to retire business in terests from politics without destroy ing the financial and industrial fab ric of the nation. As lives of nations are measured we are 136 years old and still in our infancy. Popular gov ernment is still an experiment and the responsibility is on you and me and it is our duty to see that this experiment does not result in failure. "The last commandment is the foun dation of government and never will government of the people come until this commandment is obeyed. "There is an uplift of manhood everywhere. Thrones are - toppling and we now see the blue blood ot roy alty sitting by the fireside of the aver age man. Unless we as citizens and brethren dedicate ourselves to these truths there will be no government. There is nothing sacred about govern ment. It is only an experiment, it is for us the average men, to say what shall be done to protect our selves from the power of money and if we do not arise to the occasion our govermnent will fail as thousands of governments have failed in the past. "We have seen government fail in Turkey and the oppressed have arisen against the oppressors. We have seen it in Mexico and I tell you that we do not understand the inner truth of this ereat struggle for indepen dence of the downtrodden in our sis ter republic whose citizens are fight ing for government by the people. China has become enlightened, ana while the present government may not last it will be re-formed and new ideas will have been injected and Holy Writ will be the underlying principle. "In Germany we see the rule of socialism but the socialism of Ger many is but the insurgency of Ameri ca. The absolutism of Germany will not last forever and the time will come when she will take ner place with France and America, In govern ment by the average man. "The fallacy of the Divine Right of Kings of the feudal ages is- extant in England and we- have the specta cle of American wealth presuming to bow to the, throne of England, at the recent coronation, making themselves ridiculous in the hearts of the true American citizen." Judge Lowell paid a tribute to Da vid Lloyd George who, he said, had the courage of his convictions in a monarchy and who had the strange position of a man who reeached out with one hand to aid the oppressed while with the other he curbed the throne. "Existing politics," continued Judge Lowell," are the politics of the day. I shall not talk partisan politics but the time has come when questions must be settled, not by wealth and power, but by the average man who will awake and settle the matter of the fireside. ' "The average man when seeking relief from the power of the predatory interests has ever been confronted with an insidious power, that of abso lutism. It is not by the shedding of blood that this great question of pop ular government should be settled but by the use of intelligence and the free use of the pen. If the solution, is not by study and thought then I warn you that the common people of which you and I are a part will, in another gen eration arise and a deluge of blood will result if the power of the inter ests continues. .. "This is the time of universal peace but Providence may yet have a use for the shotted cannon. I am not an alarmist. But I do appeal to you one and all as American citizens to. do your duty and assist in every way possible in solving the problem of government It requires the wis dom of every man in the nation. "In our own state of v Oregon we accept the Oregon system as wise be cause it is a movement toward a non partisan democracy, it is safer tnan the old system but the pendulum has swung too far. While we must sus tain the direct primary, yet it must be modified and made an instrument valuable to us. There are two or three things in the direct primary law that I ' wish to call to your atten tion. "Registration may be made by a notary public, at the court house or by the signatures of five signers. Why not let the assessor register the vo ters in his trips about the country. Then it is all done at once and if there are any ommissions it is easy to- correct them. There is great abuse in registration of voters on election day by obtaining the signa tures of five freeholders. If a man is not patriotic enough to register when he ought to register then he should not be permitted to vote at the eleventh hour. "The initiative and referendum I believe are wise but I am fearful that unless there is a restriction placed on the initiative it may topple over. It is not wise to present to the people the consideration of forty measures at once to vote upon. I believe that there should not be more than seven questions to vote upon at a single election. There is no harm in the referendum, it is merely a check pn the Legislature.'' Judge Lowell In closing, heartily in dorsed the Panama Canal project and predicted a world-wide change in the policies of European and Asiatic coun tries as a result, stating that event ually the 1 aeross-the-water nations would have as the fundamental prin ciples all thoes principles that our fathers fought for. He closed his re marks with an appeal to all to dedi cate themselves to the cause of Lib erty as did the great Lincoln. The initial remarks of the evening were made by R. C. D. Johnston in behalf of the National Guardsmen of Oregon City, urging that the matter of an armory be seriously considered by the members of the Brotherhood. Mr. Johnston stated that the National Guardsman was the most misunder stood man in the country and speak ing from experience as an officer, he said: - - "There is nothing done for the guaradsmen here in Oregon City and I would advocate that you gentlemen study the needs of this branch of the army. In the event of war ninety per cent of the men who go to the front are those men. who come from the guardsmen. The National Govern ment puts it up to the state. "We need an armory here. One third ' of the expenses are1 borne by the state, one-third by the city and one-third by the county, but the arm ory belongs finally to the county. An armory for; the guardsmen here could be used not only for drilling but could be made a center of civic activ ities. At the same time a swimming tank and gymnasium could be install ed which would attract the young men of our city and provide for them a place for recreation. "On behalf of the National Guards men of Oregon City I ask you of the Congregational Brotherhood to inter est yourselves in this all important subject." , Mr. Johnston's- appeal met a cor dial reception and the matter was freely and favorably discussed after the meeting: " ' Professor Gary called upon Judge Grant B. Dimick to Introduce Attorney Q. L. Matthews, of Portland, who spoke on ' the subject, "The . King's Garden" dwelling particularly upon the importance of work in the lives of men. ' He stated that the only way God can manifest himself is through man. Work, he said, is something done because it ought to be done. -Urging the necessity of work he felt con strained to dwell on the importance of play." " -- : - - " "We are all playing the game of money, said Wr. Matthews. "It is a game of chess. The weak, the needy. "I want to give every person not using electricr light THREE vital reasons why the MAZDA LAMP should make them have their house, store, office or factory wired. FIRST: The MAZDA LAMP gives nearly THREE TIMES THE LIGHT of the ordi nary carbon incandescent. SECOND: It COSTS NO MORE to born. THIRD: The QUALITY of light is vastly stiper- ior a clear white light like sun rays.' 1 1 PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER CO.

Do not teach -him -to fight but to co-operate, for co-operation is the law of life, Mr. Matthews scored the trusts and said that, we had learned the falsity of the old saying, "Competition is the life of trade." He said it has been recently proven in the trust investi gations that " competition is the death of trade:' "We in Portland are not, working, we are playing. The plans offered by Mr. Bennett have met with various objections on account of some petty graft. Work is the solution." Rev. Edwards suggested in a few remarks that at future meetings pap ers be prepared on whatever subject tending along the lines of what oth ers of the country are doing toward an upward movement. He announced that the basement of the church is to be converted into a hall 46x60 feet to be used for various social purposes. He advocated for the better interests of the club that six Sunday nights be devoted to social and civic discus sions. C. A. Goodrich, District Fruit Com missioner of the First Oregon Dis trict, predicted that the near future will see East Clackamas county cov ered with a multitude of orchards and urged that trees be kept clean. -. A recitation by William McLarty, "Betsy and I Are Out" caused much merriment. Rev. Dr. Ford indorsed most heart ily the remarks of Judge Lowell say ing that "We are in need of a leader and never before was leadership more needed. We need a pathfinder, not a pulse feeler," suggesting that Judge Lowell was the man to take up the cudged for better and popular gov ernment. ' ' ; ; Other speakers were Rev. Lands borough, Rev. Haworth, Judge Dye, J. H. Henderson, B. Vedder and Prof. Tooze. Music was furnished by Leon Des Larzes and Harless Ely, violens and Oscar Woodfin, piano accompan ist. The banquet was furnished by the ladies and was much commented on for its excellence. The- tables were prettily decorated with cut flowers and potted plants. It was announced that the March meeting would be Agricultural Night and each Big Brother was expected to bring a Little Brother. By Jupiter, Take This.
