CITY OFFICIAL
WILLIAM McKENZIE, secretary of the stationary engineers' union
of Portland, has denounced the churches of the country in a speech
before the Congregational Brotherhood of Oregon City. He has
declared that the churches are dominated by the money power and that they
are controlled by the men with the fat pocketbook. He goes somewhat into
detail in his charges against the institution and condemns it for its silence
upon matters of common interest and general welfare.
Particularly is he aroused over what he thinks is the failure of the
church to take any stand in matters that relate to the differences between
capital and labor and believes that the institution, with its thousands of
churches and scores of sects, should be able to unite in a decision upon the
right and wrong of a labor war.
Mr. McKenzie has become somewhat confused in his statements that
the church does not take an interest in such matters. Some of the greatest
leaders of the church have become arbitrators in troubles of this kind. They
have sat upon boards of arbitration and have listened to the troubles of each
side in the issue and have given their decisions in the same way and with the
same interest and respect for the rights of the parties litigant as have the other
non-church members of the board.
Though the church has, of itself, taken no definite stand in matters
that relate to the industrial warfare, its members have been prominent at
various times in working out the solutions to many of the problems that con
front the country at large. They have been conspicuous in several instances
for the services that have been rendered for the improvement of labor condi
tions throughout the country and for their part in the settlement of great
disputes between the employer and the employed.
The church has been and always should be on the side of right whether
that be in spiritual matters or in the affairs of every day life. The church
should take an interest in those things that tend for the physical as well as
spiritual betterment of mankind and the history of the institution has been
that of a ready grasp upon the problems, of the day and a quick solution to
many of the puzzles that obstruct the attainment of happiness by man. The
influence of the church can be made, as Mr. McKenzie has aid, a potent
factor in the proper determination of issues that confront the country or any
section of the country.
There are many who believe that the church should not interfere in
material affairs and that "it should keep out of politics." The church has
no business in politics. But when the issues are clean cut between the right
and the wrong policy, when there is a moral situation or problem involved,

those difficulties.
It is but right and proper that the church and its members should have
a hand in the adjustment of difficulties between capital and- labor. It is but
right that they should-be interested in those things that have to do with the
;idustrial conditions of the country in the same degree as it is conceded, gen
erally, that they should have a position on questions of a moral and spiritual
nature. -
It does not seem to the Enterprise quite right to assert that the church
is a rich man's club just because a few rich men happen to have passed through
the eye of the needle and gotten into the Kingdom. The per centage of
those who have a position in the church, who are interested in the things for
which the church stands is small indeed. The largest per centage of the
members of the church are the men who work, the laboring classes, the man
of small means.
The church is not silent in Vital issues. It does not sit idly by and see
injustice done. Neither does it refuse
ficulty where there is a distinction between right and wrong and where it
has a right to intervene. Its members are constantly on the alert for situ
ations of that kind and are as keenly interested in the cause of labor as any
other element.
It is but right that the church
these affairs but it cannot be said, in fairness, that it has remained silent in
matters that affect the general welfare.
O
COMMISSION FORM OF government for- cities has everywhere
proved successful and this paper has heretofore advocated that
Oregon City adopt a business administration in the management of
its municipal affairs.
Under the present system with every member of the council busy with his
own private affairs, it is more than can be expected that he should devote a
large share of his time to the transaction of municipal matters. The fact that
these men gather every week for a session of more than three hours and
spend several hours during the interval in committee work and in investiga
tions for the benefit of the city proves their public spiritedness and their de
votion to the city in which they live. '
In spite of the difficulties under which they labor and the conflict of
their own interests with the demand that is made upon them by the city, they
have accomplished more work than can be reasonably expected'of any man
or any set of men.
The office of councilman is not a pleasant one to hold. It means noth
ing but kicks through the 'ear that is devoted to the interests of the city.
Property owners kick, companies and corporations kick, boards and commit
tees kick and the city council is the butt of them all.
There is no other set of men in the city government that has such a time
to handle the business of the city properly and patiently as does this council.
Difficulties are presented at every meeting. Suits are brought by taxpayers
and property owners almost every month. The city is constantly in the
courts. Why ? Because there are property owners who have kicked and
whose kicks have been disregarded by the council, not for selfish reasons, but
because it believes that the interests of the city demands that they be disre
carded. Under a system of municipal government by which the members of the
council are required to devote the largest share of their time and energies to
the city government and administration, conditions would be materially bet
tered. The city would get a business administration and the best thin'g that
the council can now do, under its present charter, is to approximate an admin
istration of this kind. The members devote more time and energy to the
handling of the city affairs than reasonable men can expect from those who
are so tied to their own affairs. They drop their business matters in the mid
dle of a holiday rush to attend a session of the city council, called to listen
to kicks. They hear kicks at night, morning and noon and all of the pay
that they receive is kicks.
It is a situation that ought to be remedied by the people of the city. The
town has now grown to such a stage that the administration can no longer
be left to men who must be pulled away from business. The city cannot
longer expect men to give up their own interests and devote their time and
brains to the public matters in this way. They are no very rich men in Ore
gon City and every man now on the council has to earn his bread and butter
at his store or in his office. He cannot afford to give all of his time to city
affairs nor can he be expected to devote the time that is required of the mem
bers of the council by an ever growing town.
It is 'too much to expect of men who have their own livlihood to earn.
Were these men rich and retired and did they not have to look after their own
interests, it might be possible for the city to gain a larger share of their time
in municipal matters; committee work takes an incredible amount of time
during the interval between council meetings.
To meet these difficulties, the commission form of government is an of
fered solution. It is a good one and has been thoroughly tried out.

FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE COURIER
OREGON CITY, Ore., Nov. 19 (Ed
itor of, the Enterprise) A friend in
forms me that The Courier has been
amusing itself lately with divers and
sundry squibs in regard to the un
designed, among which, it seems are
a challenge to debate from the Rev
erend Mr. Spiess, and a demand for
my own credentials from the editor
himself.
I do not subscribe for, ne;er see,
and .consequently waste no time per
using the hysterical ami sensational
lucubrations of that erratic journal,
couched in bad English and worse
grammar. What the gist of these at
tacks may be I neither know nor
care.
If it amuses him it certainly fails
to annoy me.
I lately declined a public position,
which would have exposed me to the
spiteful criticisms of such men as Mr.
Spiess and such sheets as The Cour
ier. I wear the collar of no party, no
sect, nor creed to win a livelihood' and
am not compelled to dance when any
one cracks tjje whip.
Let me kindly advise the reverend
gentleman to challenge Dr. J. W.
Norris to debate the issue between
them. By doing so he would undoubt
edly learn some wholesome, if unpal
atable truths. The matter is of no
personal interest to myself whatever.
.Naturally the Dominie shrinks from
meeting the man he has wronged.
"Thus conscience does make cowards
of us all." -
As for my own credentials, if the
editor of The Courier will take the
trouble to call, I will be pleased to
exhibit the following diplomas:
Bachelor of Ars, 1862, Master of
Arts, 1865, Lafayette College; Doctor
of Medicine, 1867, the University and
Bellevue Hospital Medical College,
New York City; Post-Graduate Course
1901, Chicago; also vouchers for the
following positions: U. S. Examin
ing Surgeon for pensions; surgeon,
Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Ry.;
commission of insanity for Iowa coun
ty; physician board of health. Fellow
American Academy of Medicine state
licenses for Iowa and Oregon mem
bers of the Phi Beta Kappa which ad
mits only those graduates who have
won highest honors.

LONDON "PEA SOUP."
Mists and Fogs So Thick That They
Turn Day Into Night.
London and Londoners have been the
butt of many a good joke, but perhaps
the oldest subject of the humorist is
the London fog. The mist which is
commonly called "pea soup," dates
back .to the seventeenth century. There
are records as far back as that which
indicate that the city suffered even in
those days from mists as Intense as
any of those of today.
In November, 1099. John Evelyn
made a note in his diary to the effect
that there was "so thick a mist and
fog that people lost their way in the
streets, it being so intense that no
light of candle or torches yielded any
direction. Robberies are committed
between the very lights which are fix
ed between London and Kensington on
both sides and while coaches and pas
sengers were passing. It began about
4 in the afternoon and was gone by
night. At the Thames they beat
drums to direct the watermen to make
the shore."
Visitors to London In those days
were in the habit of making fun of
the fog just as the visitors of today.
Condomara. Spanish ambassador in
Queen Elizabeth's time, said to a friend
who was returning to Spain, "My com
pliments to the sun. whom I have not
seen since I came to. England."
In Elizabeth's time the burning of
coal was prohibited while parliament
was in session. So dense were the
fogs during the years of 1813 and 1814
that when the prince regent tried to
make his way to Hatfield, the home of
Lord Salisbury, he could not find his
way and was compelled to forego the
tri and return to Carlton House,
which be reached after a succession of
accidents. New York Sun.
Reciprocated,

clerk on the street yesterday."

me." Washington Herald., v
