Mr. and Mrs. J. Wendle spent Sun
day with Mrs. Wendle's mother, Mrs.
State for school purposes, the pro
ceeds of the sale of which, to form
an irreducible fund and the interest
applied to the up-keep of the schools.
Those having the. matter in charge
failed to do their duty and by some
hook or crook the school lands were
sold and the fund dissipated. The
crooked politicians got their hands
in and where we should have today
$100,000,000 in this irreducible fund we
have about $5,000,000. The revenue
from this amounts to about $2 per pu
pil and we are compelled to pay a
balance of $8 per pupil instead of be
ing free of this if the. politicians had
acted squarely. Washington was more
fortunate. The people kept away from
the politicians and that state has to
day a revenue of $9 per pupil.
"While our ctizens pay willingly the
school tax, it can be plainly seen that
the time has come for the educated
class of people to exercise great care
in voting for measures submitted to
them. No Government can long exist,
without a Christian and educated peo
ple. We must Iodic to the churche3
for the moral stamina, to the- school
to supply the mental energy to our
growing boys and girls that will make
them a power in the community.
"The initiatve and referendum
should be carefully studied. - The in
itiative should be supported. I be
lieve in it and voted for it but I be
lieve as it is, it is abused. There are
too many . measures submtted to the
people to vote upon at one time. It
is absolutely impossible for a single
man or women to intelligently con
sider forty measures in the short time
given. ' The number should be reduced
so that care and study will give the
result of better government. I am
not criticizing the initiative but be
lieve it should be modified to get the
best results. The church can assist
in gaining better government by . exer
cising its moral force while the
schools will supply the executive. If
we look over our community today
we will find one-half of the business
men who conduct our civic affairs are
church-going people. And I wish to
state here that the ministers of all
the churches of this city are doing a
great and lasting good to this com
munity by their broad and righteous
methods in assisting in civic direc
ton of affairs.
"There is a lack of interest of the
voters. The voter should study gov
ernment more. Why, five years ago
there was a call for a meeting to raise
$5,000 by taxation for a school. Five
people in the whole city met and these
five voted $5,000 for the whole com
munity. The rest of the citizens
showed no interest. This is not right
for 'if the people are to govern let
them take a hand and awaken to the
needs of the hour.
"Reverting to the initiative, I be
lived that it could be remedied if we
took more care and showed more cau
tion in our naturalization laws. There
are a great many foreigners that are
among our best citizens but there is
a large class of voters who are for
eigners that have been naturalized
and do not show enough interest in
the American people to even learn
our language or send their children
to our schools if they can avoid it
On election day they are allowed to
vote without having the slightest idea
of what they are voting for.
"It developes upon every man and
woman of these United States to be
alive and awake. Let every man and
every woman born in these United
States have an equal right to the
ballot and by their intelligent votes
our government will prosper. I be
lieve the time will come when women
will have the same right to the ballot
as men. In my business relations l
have never found a woman inferior
to a man when it comes to a pure
business point. The women are teach
ing our children, molding their char
acters and should have an equal right
and franchise as they are governed
by the popular law.
"Politics has improved the condi
tions of the interior districts, making
them more congenal, but we never
should have accomplished this had
not the church and school worked in
harmony, these forces forming the
dominant power of the world.
"When we find a man who is not
studying government and politics or
not supporting the public schools, we
find a man who is not doing his duty
to the community. And the church
is the place to discuss these questions
as it is .the public forum and its in
fluence is strongly felt in our govern
ment. '
"Our High School is the result of
the work of a few men. All the citi
zens, men and women, should have
been in partnership in this great edu
cational monument. The public sc'nool3
of today are so arranged that the poor
boy may sit beside the rich boy, and
each receive equal education. The
large interests, the railroads and man
ufactories willingly pay the school tax
because it preserves their property,
through the medium of education,
and protects it from the mob.
"This calls to mind the anarchistic
revolt of a day ago when soap box
orators and their supporters insulted
a foreign visitor at Portland. The af
fair is a disgrace to the community
and a most regrettable thing. Most
of these roughs come from foreign
countries and are the ignorant class.
We are becoming too liberal and the
time will come when we will realize
how liberal we were. The ignorant
are the prey of these soap box orators.
With education we should not have
such scenes of anarchy. With more
stringent naturalization laws such in
sults should not be heaped upon hon
ored visitors without the confines of
our great and growing cities. There
is absolutely no excuse for this an
archistic conduct in a cosmopolitan
city like Portland. Now is the time
for us to think of the puture and ex
plain to our children theae great prin
ciples of Government and as a result
we will have a better country.
"The political system backed by
the great moral force of the church
has made some of the brightest and
brainiest men of Oregon. We need
more such. 1 Use your influence, moth
ers and fathers, and bring up your
children under the protecting mantle
of Christianity and imbue them with
the desire for education, that great
light will lead us on to a better condi
tion and make us better men and
women."
