ACT IS CONSTITUTIONAL
KEW COUNTY" COMMISSIONERS LAW
SO DECLARED. "
Steele Is Ousted, hut Declares He
"Will Appeal Mack and Showers
Are Undecided.
Judges Cleland, Frazer, George and
Sears yesterday morning rendered a joint
decision, declaring the County Commis
sioners act, which ousts "tt". B. Steele from
office and creates a county hoard, con
sisting of Judge Cake and Commission
ers Showers and Mack, to be ponstltu
tional. This ends the matter, and Mr. Steele -will
have to step down and out unless he can
establish his right to continue in office
until the end of the term for which he
was elected by means of an appeal to the
Supreme Court.
"What the Commissioners will do Is as
yet a matter of uncertainty. The Ques
tion of an appeal to the higher court was
favorably discussed by the Commissioners
with "M. L. Pipes, and other of their coun
sel. Mr. Steele still contends that the
Legislature or the court has no right to
put him out of office. Speaking about the
decision, he said: "'I don't desire .to do
anything that will do the County of Mult
nomah any harm. The board has not yet
had a meeting to decide what to do.
Maybe the Judges are right; they know
more law than I do; but I have my rights
In the Supreme Court; that is what the
Supreme Court is for."
Commissioner "William Showers, when
asked w hat course he w ould pursue in re
gard to the decision, answered: "I don't
know; ask me something easy."
Commissioner Mack said: "I don't
know whether it is advisable to do any
thing further or not. The thing came
differently from what I expected. I
thought an election by the people amount
ed to something, but it seems not. If I
could get out of it honorably, I would
resign tomorrow, of this afternoon. That
Is the way I feel about It; but I don't
want to be accused by my friends of not
having any staying qualities. "We will
probably decide this afternoon what to
do."
Last evening Mr. Mack said that no de
termination had heen arrived at.
Judge Cake has stated that once the
law was decided to he constitutional, he
wo,uld pursue drastic measures if Com- J
missloners Showers and iiacir. aecunea 10
act" with him in the transaction of county
business.
The decision rendered covered the infor
mation filed against Showers and Mack
charging them with willfully refusing and
neglecting to perform the duties of their
office to the manifest hindrance of pub
lic business, etc., and also the quo war
ranto case against Steele to oust him from
office. In. the former case, while the law
was held lo -be constitutional and valid,
the demurrer to the Information on the
ground that Commissioners Showers and
Mack cannot be jointly charged was sus
tained. This throws the case out of
court, but this is of no consequence if
the defendants abide hy the decree of the
court as to the constitutionality of the
law and act under it. Otherwise, District
Attorney Chamberlain will he under the
necessity of filing a separate Information
against each of the two men, and of try
ing the cases, out to a finish. The pro
ceeding is one under the criminal statute,
and the final trial would have to be by
jury. The penalty upon conviction Is re
moval from office, and fine or imprison
mnent, or removal from office without
other punishment.
In the quo warranto case against Mr.
Steele the demurrerto the writ was over
ruled, and the attorneys for Mr. Steele
were granted the usual time to file an
answer. The attorneys can appeal from
the decision just annpunced, or after a
final hearing on the merits, as desired.
The state has the right to appeal from
the finding that the joint Information Is
not good.
Points in the Decision.
It was held by the Judges in their de
cision that the Legislature s clothed
with authority to make such changes in
the laws regarding the transaction of
counts husiness as they may -see fit, aiffl
that it can do and undo. Ji was decided
that, if the act passed by the Legislature
In 1S9S creating a separate Board of Coun
ty Commissioners was constitutional, It
would also he constitutional for the Leg
islature to change that law -and restore
the county as it was hefore. The decis
ion in the main was as follows: .
Xo Legislature has power to fli for future
Legislatures any limit ot power. The Legisla
ture of today cannot pass a law that may
not be repealed or amended tomorrow. Each
Legislature IS supreme and Independent. The
mere exercise of legislative power does not
necessarily exhaust or prevent further legisla
tion. To hold a public office is not necessarily
to possess a contract right which cannot be
impaired by subseauent legislation. Gener
ally the public can remove an incumbent and
the Incumbent can at any time resign at his
pleasure. Public offices, beln created for the
convenience of the public, not for the official,
it is competent for the Legislature to abolish
the office created, to shorten or lengthen the
term, or to Increase or decrease the compen
sation, unless .some constitutional provision
intervenes, and as a. general proposition it
will be assumed that -where the -constitution
creates an office and fixes Its tenure, powers
or compensation, and provides for filling It,
that In that event the Lecliture cannot in
terfere unless the express or Implied power so
to do is found in the constitution itself. "While,
the constitution names the office of County
Commissioner, yet. as to the tenure of the
office. It says, article 15. section 2: "When
the duration of any office is not provided for I
by this constitution, It may be declared by
law; and if not so declared such office shall
be held during the pleasure r the authority
making the appointment. But the Legisla
tive Assembly -shall not create any office, the
tenure of which shall be longer than -four
years."
This clause, on Its face, seems to imply that,
the
i
as the duration of the office of County Com
missioner Is not by the constitution provided
for, the Legislature may regulate It entirely
by law, except that it cannot extend it beyond
four years. Legislative power In the particu
lar as to the duration Is, therefore, unllm
rted. It Is also elementary that courts should up
hold an act of the Legislature constitutional
unless satisfied as to its unconstitutionality.
Courts should declare null and void an act
only when satisfied beyond any reasonable
doubt of Its illegality. In construing the con
stitution ot this state It would appear that
the Legislature possesses the power at any
Hlme to provide either for the election of two
Commissioners to sit with the County Judge
Mhile transacting county business In any and
all the counties, or to provide a separate board
.for transaction of such business. That neither
when it docB the one or the other does it ex
haust Its legislative power. The power was
gien to do either the one or the other. While
It may be true that it can't, do anything else,
jet it can do either of' these. It may do
neither and leave with the County Judge the
Jurisdiction where the constitution originally
i estcd it.

The subject of the morning was "Per
sonal Religious Living," Mr. .Winchester
leading off with' the topic; "What, In-the
Christian Sense, Is a Religious Life?"
This was treated in its three-fold, aspect
of "Conduct, or Service to God and Man";
"Worship, ' the Relation of the Soul to
God as Spirit," and "Belief Jn. the Spiritual
Power of God, Which Is Not Limited by
Time or Space." There -was much that
was helpful-and inspiring in Mr. Winches
ter's words.
"Some Hindrances" next came up for
consideration, Rev. G. A. Taggart opening
with some pertinent remarks on "Popular
Literature." He showed that there Is a
kind of , literature that is going Into
the minds and hearts of the people, filling
them to the exclusion of Christ, his work
and his life.
Rev. C. F. Clapp followed on "Social Or
ganizations," arguing that the multitu
dinous lodges, clubs and associations of
various kinds are drawing members from
the churches. Rev. J. J. Staub then In
turn pointed out certain amusements that
were harmful to a religious life.
Under the general head of "Some
TTeins " o t. Vnv discussed the tonic of
"Religious Exercises for Personal
Growth," and G. W. Allen read a strong
paper on "Loving Service J for Those In
Need," showing the false system of phil
anthropy and emphasizing the true idea
of cultivating self-help and self-care In
the thriftless and Improvident. A gen
eral discussion followed, - after which a
recess was taken until 2 o'clock.
The subject of the afternoon session
was "Corporate Religious Life." Rev. R.
M. Jones opened with "An Argument for
Church Membership," In which he re
counted some of the advantages to be del
rived from such association. "The Cor
rective Influence of Church Membership,"
by Rev. C. E. Phllbrook, called attention
to the forces for good that are working
in the churches. This was followed, by a
paper on "The Church a Society of
Saviors," by Rev. D. B. Gray, who lay
stress upon the thought that Christ has
bequeathed to the church the conversion
of the world. To teach the kingdom of
God by a precept and example Is the
duty of all church members. These should
consecrate their lives to purifying the
evry-day world around them, In business
and politics.
Rev. A. W. Ackerman then discussed the
topic, "The Church the Body of Christ."
His paper was full of sound thought lu
cidly expressed. He said in part:
"The emphasis of Paul's work was not
upon organization; that might and would
take care of itself: but upon the personal
i-relatlon of man with Christ. The re
sult of his work was a circle of churches,
which was -called upon to pass through
trials and affliction which seem severe
enough to have crushed them, and yet it
made them stronger, and developed a fel
lowship between the churches that defied
the political organization of the RomaV
Empire: and after centuries of struggle
it was found that the Christian brother
hood had not only survived the struggle
It had conquered and appropriated the
political unity that haa sought to crush
It
" "Paul used three expressions to define
and Illustrate his Idea of a church: First,
the 3reek word ecclesla (assembly or con
gregation); second, 'the house or house
hold of God, and third, the body of
Christ. And here he exalts the absolute
essential unity of believers- Into an or
ganic unity. The church Is a living or
ganism. Each part has to do with every
other; one suffers, all suffer with it; one
rises to honor, and brings honor to all
the rest; not a collection of saints, not
a congregation of Independent persons,
but Intimate relation with Christ means
lnHlmate relations with each other. Into
this organism comes the strength," wis
dom and spirit of Christ which 'lncreas
eth with the increase of God.'
"Christians make churches; no church
without Christians; membership in a
church does not make one a Christian,
but. a Christian is already a -Part, or
ganically, of the church of Christ.
"There exists a holy Catholic or Univer
sal Church which Is composed ot all true
believers In Jesus. It has- sometimes
been called 'the Invisible church,' because
Its lines are not distinguishable, and God
only knows the true-hearted, his own,
ho In very deed have yielded to the

"There exists also the outward mani
festation of this body, a church universal
'whose unity Is in Christ, whose members
Have confessed Christ before the world.
All persons who believe themselves to be
or are believed to be Christians are of
this body of Christ. No one should deny
that it Is a field of wheat In which the

that -three-quarters of this body are not
Christians at heart.
"Then there exist bodies of Christians
who can conveniently meet together, and
who stand for some principle either of
bellet or polity. These are our .local
churches."
The afternoon session concluded with
the sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
r " Evening Session.
Rev. X. B. Gray led a short devotional
service, after which Rev. J. L. Hershner,
of Hood River, preached the assoclatlonal
sermon. taking for his text Luke xxlv:47
"Beginning at Jerusalem." He said in
par.t:
"The new church body took, not an orig
inal,. but a new, specific start with the as
cension of Christ Into glory. With this
body we stand Identified; of It we are a
part; In it we are or should be interested,
and to - its mission we should be devoted.
"Our Savior invested the church with.
agencies coextensive with the world and
time,' and these are to uplift and save
humanity. God endowed the church with
Imperishable qualities even his own Infi
nite .love, which found Its highest expres
sion in the sacrificial death of Christ on
Calvary. When the church of God was
Invested, with a new form and given a
new start with the commands of Christ,
he saidto his small company of disciples,
Begin, at Jerusalem.'
''Begjn what at Jerusalem? To dbtain
an answer we shall need to go back to the
first part of the 47th verse, where we read
that 'repentance and remission of sins
should he preached in his name This
was the work to, be. begun at Jerusalem.
True, "this same statement was made In
other forms, such as 'Preach the Gospel
to every creature,' 'Go ye, therefore, and
make disciples of all nations, teaching
them to observe all things, whatsoever
I have 'commanded you.'
" "Yeshall be witnesses unto me, both
In Jerusalem and unto the uttermost parts
of the 'earth.' These simple and direct
statements from the lips of our Savior
embody his last great commission, and
this commission was intrusted with th
church, for the church, for all time; and
considered as a whole, or in Its several
parts, stands In inseparable relation wltn
the clause 'Beginning at Jerusalem.' "
The sermon was followed by an address
on "Our State Work," hy the superintend
ent of home missions. Rev. C. F. Clapp.
He showed that the churches have never
been In such good condition as now; at
least, not during the last 12 years. They
have never been so well manned. One
church has reached the place qf self-support.
Churches In two towns that had
grown to be a problem have left the
problematic stage and are on the high
way to success. The churches are taking
more kindly to the benevolences. Mis

CHURCH FOUNDED ON LOVE
THIS IS B. FAY MILLS' IDEA OF RE
LIGIOUS MOVEMENT.
First, of Three Lectnres ly the For
mer Evangelist In the First
Unltnrlnn Church.
The lecture of the Rev. B. Fay Mills
on "The Church of. the Twentieth Cen
tury" drew a large audience to the First
Unitarian Church last night, to many
of whom his doctrines of former years
had been expounded on the occasion of
his previous visits, and to whom the de
velopment of his present views was a
great source of interest. The speaker
has lost none of his power to Illuminate
a subject, while his theological views
have undergone.. a change In the direc
tion of greater liberality. The church of
the 20th' century in its essence, accord
ing to his prophecy, will be one of great
broadness, seeking to learn the truth in
all Its aspects, to carry its ideals into
practical fulfillment, while towering over
all else wiH be the Inculcation of the
power of love to conquer all the evils
of the world.
"Then shall arise," said the speaker,
"a holler church, whose covenant and
ordinance shall be the deed of love, not
'credo' there; 'amo' shall be the pass
word through Its gates. Man shall not
ask his brother any more 'Bellevest
thou?' but 'Lovest tho'i?' and all shall
answer at that altar, 'Yea, I love.' For
faith may anchor, hope may steer, but
love, .great love, alone Is captain of the
soul."
In opening, the speaker said: "The
great Theodore Parker has told us that
It Is just as much In the realm of prob-
ability that there Is one religion as for
there to be one ocean. Parts of the
ocean are known by different names; so
in different plac.es and in different lands
religion Is- called by diverse titles, but
religion" grows out of you Just as surely
as the leaves grow out of trees and the
trees, from the ground.-Upon the kind
of seed sown depends the harvest. No
one on earth can foretell the nature of
religion In the 20th century, but as we
have progressed in our material investi
gations, so we will progress in religion.
It alone presents the greatest unsolved
field for the Investigator of the future.
"The church of the future will be a
church of learners. The church of. the
past assumed that It knew everything,
and consequently was antagonistic to all
knowledge. A characteristic of the new
religion will be finding out things. Knowl
edge Is to religion as fuel is to the
world's work. I say, give it to us and
give it fast. The closed mind is the Ir
reverent mind. We will believe not alone
that God spake, but that he Is still speak
ing. We believe that man knew some
thing In the past and that he has still
more to learn. It will be a good thing
for the church to write on Its banner,
as did Michael Angelo, 'I am still learn
ing.' Science in the past Investigated
only matter or form, paying no attention
to spirit or power. Now the scientists
are coming to regard matter simply as
that manifestation of power, and the
future lnvestigtlons are to be directed
toward force, spirit, God.
"The inspiration of the moment what
a moment! I have no patience with those
who tell us that this Is a materialistic
age. It Is an age of preparation for the
grandest spiritual manifestation of his
tory. The earth Is not solid as It was; It
begins to melt. It was only yesterday
that we girdled the world with Iron
bands; and now we are piercing It with
our vision and listening with our ears
to catch loving whispers a thousand miles
away. We seem to be trembling on the
verge of a great discovery' that shall I
reveal the old mystery ofthe incalcula
ble power of human thougbt, and make
the universe truly one to the simplest
observer. Slowly as yet we are perfect-
ing a spiritual philosophy that shall ban-
lsh disease, that shall destroy death, that
shall cause all men everywhere to look,
not upon the things that are seen and
temporal, but upon the things that are
unseen and eternal It Is not inconslst -
ent, with what we know of the past. It
is not Inconsistent with the great revela -
tlon of God, to believe that the world
of spirit is about to be more fully re-
,roii .,ntn n.
.7,, 7 "'. .. . .. ,... vi
rur me hidi nine n uic vunu o jura
tory, we know that we know; and the
greatest thing- we know Is this, that we
shall yet know more. Victories or infi
nite significance have been won for the
people and by the people, and the call
is already sounded for greater battles
waiting to be won. A new theology,
without fear, without hate, strong In
faith, radiant with hope, powerful with
love. A new religion, abolishing all dis
tinctions, with no hampering tradition,
with eyes alight with the glory of the
new age that Is -about to dawn; narrowness,-
selfishness, bitterness, meanness,
excluslveness, all to be swept away. Mill
ions hungering for the prophet's v-Jce
and the reformer's call and the apostles'
organization. Oh, may we not truly say
that we have come unto God's kingdom
for such a time as this? -
"The church of the future will be a
church of laborers. The learners will
eee the Ideals; the -laborers will carry
them out. Not alone must the church
foster knowledge, but also justice and so
cial righteousness. The church must
touch the world In every field. Its rela
tion to politics must be immediate and
effective. I do not mean that the church
should ever become identical with the
state, but It should have a general con
cern for the well-being of humanity, and
to make the state too holy to tolerate,

"I can conceive of a revival that shall
not simply add members to the church, j
but shall regenerate society, business and
pclltlcs, that shall banish the gambling
hell, the brothel, the distillery, and the t
saloon; that shall cause the muttered
cravings of revolution to be drowned In
the exultant songs of a new Pentecost;
that shall permeate humanity until the
gospel to the poor shall be the practical
abolition of the cauees and effects and
existence of poverty; that shall enter the
Individual and commercial heart, and In
a new birth of the brotherhood of men
shall cause them to work In the divine
philosophy of Jesus and of Paulr every
man looking no more upon his own things,
but every one upon the things of others;
that shall cleanse our politics until we see
pure cities of God, and nations living In
the eplrlt of the eternal kingdom of peace,
and men and women not be translated
into some far-off Oriental inactivity, but
heaven come down to earth, and God's
kingdom come and his 'will be done on
eartn as It Is In heaven.
"The church of the twentieth century
will be a church of lovers. Men will cease
to live In separateness. but to live as one
body. Science calls this unity; philosophy,
altruism; politics, democracy; economics,
co-operation; sociology, brotherhood; but
religion calls it love. In Individual moral
ity. In education. In economic problems.
In political development, In the world's
peace, love Is the solution ot all evl!s.
There are many things I do not know,
but this one I do believe. I do not know
what theologies are to be born from the
brains of our children, but I believe
that they cannot surpass the comprehen
sive sufficiency of love. I do not know
what mightier forces, now unknown, shall
be controlled by man as he enters Into
his larger heritages; but I believe that
the universe contains no more powerful
dynamic than this. I do not know what
victories of practical peace we yet shall
( wlh what discoverles and utilization of
unlimited treasure we shall maKer but i
believe there is nothing yet remaining to
be achieved, as in the past nothing has
been truly revealed or accomplished, but
the manlfestatlpn in the practical world
of what must be true at 'the- heart of it,
love, love, all love and nothing but love.
This I believe: That whether there be
babblings of mystery, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge. It shall van
ish, but that love shall shine brighter
and brighter until we realize that night
la ended, that eternal day la here and
now. Then shall the poorest dwell In
luxury, then shall government cease
to be, in fulfillment of the justice
of love, against which there Is no law;
then shall hearts and homes be conscious
heavens of unutterable joy. Then the
highest, holiest experiences of the noblest
lives that now we know, shall be common
possessions of the race and the every-day
felicity of the lowest of manhood. Then
in this New Jerusalem shall there be no.
J temple, for the glory of love snail De
the highest expression oi reason anu ui
worship for all times, in all places, with
out and within. Science and religion shall
kiss one another; the Hon shall lie down
with the lamb; God shall dwell with men
and lead them. Love, which Is aboue all,
shall be there all and In all."
This evening Mr. Mills will lecture on
"Can We Have a Universal Religion?"

"JUST LIKE PAPA."
Children Glnd to Hove Their Coffee
Like the Parents.
More than any ot the old folks realize,
the little folks at the table like to have
food nnd drink the same as father and
mother.
Perhaps you can remember the time
when a fork full of the meat or potato
or a sip from the cup that your Father
or Mother was using seemed to possess
.ome remarkable merit and flavor..
If children can be given a strong, nour
ishing food drink such as Postum Food
Coffee It more than satisfies their desire
to have things like the older folks, and
at the same time gives them a drink they
love and fatten on.
A lady up in Oakee. N. D., says that
since their family have been drinking
Postum the children are stronger and bet
ter than ever before, and are so glad to
think they can have coffee to drink "Just
like papa."
The nusband and father was taken nick
with a very severe attack of stomach
trouble, and had to give up work, being
confined to the house for some weeks, flut
tering greatly. For some time he had
been In the habit of drinking coffee for
breakfast, and tea for dinner and supper.
The wife writes: "After reading some ot
your advertisements we wondered If coffeo
and tea had not been the cause of his
slcknees.
Wc finally decided to have him quit tea
and coffee, and try Postum Food Coffee.
He dates his recovery from the day he
commenced to drink Postum. and ha not
had to stop work from sickness 3lnce
then.
"Some years ago I tried a package of
Postum and did not like it. but 1 know
now that It wae because I did not make
it right. It Is easy to make good Postum
If the simple directions are followed. The
only failure Is when people do not boll it
long enough.
"Plenie do not publish my name. I am
always ready to tell, however, of tna mar
Its of Postum." Name given by tho
