KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY
REV. W. S. GILBERT PREACHED OK
SDKDJOT OBSERVANCE.
"The Day," Said He, "I Jfot Onlr a
Religions Institution, Tint a. Civic
nad. Industrial JTeeessity."
Rev. W, S. Gilbert preached yesterday
rooming at Calvary Presbyterian. Church
on the text, Exodus xx:S: ""Remember
the Sabbath day to keep It holy." He
made a strong plea for a careful observ
tnce of the day, saying in part:
"God's every gift Is a blessing. All that
God has done for man has been for man's
good. God's laws or commands are never
arbitrary, but are always for some great,
good purpose. A good law Is always sim
ply a statement of the best thing to do.
None of God's laws are unimportant, but
all have in them God's Infinite purpose
and will and wisdom. Each law has in it
the embodiment of the principles of all.
He that breaks the last commandment
end covets his neighbor's goods will break
also the first. He that offends In one is
guilty of all.
"The fourth commandment is one that
God has held very dear. 'Remember the
Babbath day to keep it holy.' The Sabbath
day Is one of God's best gifts to men.
And it is all-Important for man's welfare
that the day be remembered and be kept
holy. Among all the laws of God for
man's good, this one. stands, a sign and
covenant to all generations
"It Is a truth many times expressed In
the sacred word, in history and in our
own experience, that the Sabbath is es
sential to the religious character of man.
As the Sabbath is neglected, religion loses
Its purity and power. Disregard of the
Sabbath shows a low state of religious life
and becomes a swift means to the soul's
complete secularization. The Sabbath Is
like a great anchor that holds us to God.
"The Sabbath is not only a religious
Institution -It Is also a civic and an in
dustrial necessity. Even aside from Te
llgious consideration, the Sabbath is a
boon we can ill afford to lose. From sheer
utility, it pays to keep the Sabbath. In
the long run, a man can actually accom
plish more in -six days than in seven. And
as much In eight-hour days as In days of
10 Jioure. The man that works seven days
every week becomes a drudge. He grinds
his soul out and makes his incentive dull.
A slave does not, can not, do as much
work as a freeman. A man will be a
better engineer, or doctor, or farmer, who
faithfully takes off one day in the week.
Besides its utility, the Sabbath is man's
only hope of saving his life from the re
lentless bondage of an endless grind, and
of having In his life a little part kept sa
cred for the better things. In Prussia, 57
per cent of manufacturers and 77 per cent
of those engaged in trade and in trans
portation regularly work on the day of
rest. The Sabbath Union In the United
States has computed that over 4,000,000 of
our people do unnecessary work on the
Sabbath day. "Very few of these have any
other day for rest, and with all this un
necessary work, the American Sabbath is
becoming noticeably secularized. By the
loss of the Sabbath, men come to lose the
sense of Sabbath, and become Indifferent
and dead to the better things and become
slaves of toiL God has plainly spoken
for our good. "We ought not to disregard
3iis voice. The Sabbath is made for man's
uplifting; we ought not to lose this God
ivjen treasure. Remember the Sabbath
day!
"Keep it for the holier things. Six days
are enough for toil. Keep it for the sa
cred things; let not the miser's greed of
gain, nor the prodigal's greed of pleasure,
steal It away. Keep it for the uplifting
things. Keep it a day apart, a day that
belongs to thee. Keep it for the home,
for rest and meditation. Keep it for clean,
liness and lay aside the work clothes.
Keep it for a glimpse of the opensky.
Keep it for worship. That day is kept holy
which has in it all these holier things.
The man who says Sunday Is a day for a
frolic and physical dissipation, and noth
ing more, loses a good part of the bless
ings of the day. The Sabbath was made
for all there is of man; let the mind be
refreshed, and let the soul be lifted up.
He who spends each Lord's day In a way
as to minister to his own higher nature
and to the highest Interests of his fellow
men will keep the day holy- Let all the
many questions about the Sabbath be
answered by God's standard. Keep the
day for the holy things. Making rules
for other people is not any one's business.
Each one must make rules for hlmsclt,
and all together must make rules for the
common good of the community. But in
all our rule-making we ought to remember
the standard keep it holy."
THE CITY CELESTIAL,.
Dr. La tli r op Speaks on Aspirations
for a Future Life.
Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop, of Grace Meth
odist Episcopal Church, spoke yestcrday
m'orning to a large congregation, from
Heb. xi:10: "He looked for a city whose
builder and maker Is God." He ,said his
subjfcct, "The City Celestial," was sug
gested from an account of two aged
Methodist laymen who on the occasion of
their last meeting, about 10 days before
death, had a friendly argument about
wnich one would get to heaven first "it
chanced that these brethren died within
four hours of each other' he said, "and
the funeral services were held for both
at the same hour at old Bedford-street
Church. The Kew York Sun, which gives
this incident, asks two questions:
Wbether this sort of faith survives in this
Intensely materialistic age? And whether
anything can be substituted which will
give the same comfort as does such faith?
Fur the reporter was moved by the fact
that to these aged Christians heaven was
eo jeal.
"Dr. John Watson in his 'Mind of the
blaster,' s,ays: "Heaven is the noblest
Imagination of the human heart, and any
one who robs this imagination of Its
august dignity and splendor has commit
ted a crime.' He points out that under
lying the whole gospel story is the im
plication of the future state of the good,
and he further sets forth the criterion
by which a healthful view of that state
can be tested. This criterion is: 'Does
your view of the future state strengthen,
gladden, inspire you for service in this
present life? If so, it Is wholesome and
just what you need.' This declaration is
one well worth attention, for there may be
a view of heaven which gives ecstacy but
does not inspire the service. Such a view
is unwholesome. Sensible men have just
ly criticised a hope which meant noth
ing more than ecstacy. One indication
that Christianity has evolved Into ro
bustness Which the early church pos
sessed but which the medieval church
lost is that it now mingles its songs of
heaven with rescue and all other kinds
of work for the ,Master.
"Dr. Drummon'd, In his 'Natural Law
in the Spiritual World,' devotes a chapter
to Biogenesis. It is interesting to read of
the beginning of life; but when you come
to the chapter on 'Growth, immediately
your interest quickens. Why? Because
while you are concerned in the question
how life begun, nevertheless you know
you are possessed of life, and are more
Interested in its development Evolution
has contributed very considerably to the
thought of life and the laws which govern
it and occasionally it turns prophet and
declares what the consummation of life
shall be. Whence? That Is a great word.
Whither? That is a greater. We are
done with whence, but whither, we are In
the midst of.
"In the olden time there were many
who beld heaven as a reality. They be
longed then, as they belong now. to one
of two alasses. Either the mystical, or
to the practically meditative. We all
are aware that that about which we fre
quently think becomes to us real. As to
whether anything can be substituted
which will give to the soul as great vigor
and help and joy as does this blessed
hope, to that there can be given a prompt
answer, "ICo, :not anything. Heaven as
a reality is assuring to the point of Joy
and comfort. To know one's self bound
straight for heaven, and here and now
doing the work heaven wants done. Is the
highest and sweetest of all heart con
dltlo'ns." Dr. Lathrop then laid down four propo
sitions which he said stood as prophets
In every man's nature pointing to a future
life. The first was, consciousness of en
larging life and anxious desire for the
same. Every one, he said, had experi
enced what might be called an afflatus
of souL Like a caged bird, it seemed to
beat against fhe body. Oliver Wendell
Holmes in "Chambered NautlluB" bints
at this. The second "was consciousness of
the meagerness of this world to satisfy.
Man is the most restless of all creatures.
From childhood, through maturity, pass
ing to all professions and all classes there
is dissatisfaction. It is something other
than that which we bave which we seek,
or more of what we have. It is not that
our ambitions are too many or too high,
but the world Is too small and too poor.
The third is outlook. The microscope
gives to man the downward look; geog
raphy the outward, and astronomy the
upward. But still the soul seeks a larger
outlook. Robert Browning In the "Gram
marian's Funeral," one of the choicest
poems in all literature, expresses this
well, when he pictures the pupils of the
old teacher seeking a place where to lay
his body, and none can be found save the
highest peak on the highest mountain.
The fourth is, outlet The Intellect cries
for outlet, so does the Imagination. Mind
as an energy pleads for a better chance
than it has here. It hopes for a clime in
which encumbrances will no longer fetter
its activities. The celestial city for which
Abraham longed, every normal soul has
longed. To hold that among the realities
and struggle to be worthy of citizenship
there is the privilege of every thinking,
struggling soul.
"When William Blake ,the painter-poet,
lay dying, he said: "I am. going to that
country I have all my life wished to
see." And Just before he died "he burst
into singing of the things he saw."
Church of the Future.
A. mixed service was held at the Third
Presbyterian Church, East Side, yester
day morning. After the opening devotion
als and a sermon to the children, Dr. Mc
Lean called the roll of membership, and
many responded by reading passages of
scripture. This was followed by reports
from Judge R. F. Ayres, from, the con
gregation; and Elden Spence and W. H.
Markell, from the session, on business af
fairs. Mr. Spence. who had been a mem
ber for the past 18 years, reviewed work
and progress. After these reports Dr. Mc
Lean delivered a short address on "The
Future of the Church," bearing largely
on the proposed new church building to
be erected within the next few months.
He said he had no patience with people
who are constantly demanding that all
creeds and doctrines be swept away, for
creed means belief and doctrine the ex
planation of the attributes of God. Thi3
demand has Its foundation In poverty of
mind and heart Emotionalism, he said,
has passed away, having had its day
and purpase In the past, and in its place
has come a steady consecration and fixed
ness of purpose. Dr. McLean spoke of the
social features of church life as most
important, and pointed out where there
had been neglect along this line. Frater
nal organizations are based on the social
feature, and no church could neglect It
without paying the penalty. Every mem
ber, he remarked, should have a .part In
church life, and all should be optimists.

HEALING MIND AND BODY
JfATURAIi PHENOMENON OI CHRIS
TIANITT, SAYS DR. SULCER,
When the Followers of Christ Un
derstand His Work, They Become
Able to Cure Disease.
The Marquam, Grand Theater was
crowded, yesterday afternoon, with an
audience that listened with attention to
the exposition of the doctrines of Chris
tian Science by Dr. A. A. Sulcer, M. D.,
C. S. B., of Riverside, Cal. Dr. Sulcer
was for years a practicing practitioner
under materia medica, and is now a mem
ber of the international board of lecture
ship established by the First Church of
Christ (Scientist), of Boston. Mayor H.
S. Rowe Introduced the speaker in a neat
speech, saying, In part:
"A belief in a superior power, a desire
to worship God or some object to be en
dowed with Godlike attributes, a belief
by the civilized man In the Immortal life,
are among the most elemental conceptions

PUBLIC SCHOOLHOrSE AT DALLAS.
DALLAS, Or., Aphil 21. The Dallas Public Schoolhouse waa built last
season at a cost of ?7500. It contains eight fine, commodious rooms, which are
provided with all modern Improvements. In the basement is the woodshed
and two playrooms for the students in stormy weather. The building has rear
and front entrances and two 12-foot stairways, reaching spacious halls and
cloakrooms on the first floor. A similar arrangement prevails on the second
floor. For its cost, the structure is generally pronounced second to none in
Oregon.
"
of life, and far antedate all human
history. Everywhere we find evidence of
the struggle of the mind to search out the
knowledge of God. Nothing arrests the
mind so quickly or shows the evolution
of men so powerfully. It is, therefore,
with a serious and attentive mood that
we give ear to each new doctrine. If we
do not believe, we at least aprpoach a
new shrine with a simple reverence. Men
are ever on the alert for messages from
the Great Unknown, and, therefore, he
who claims to have received an Inspired
word, or a fuller Interpretation of the
divine law is certain of attention. Chris
tianity is the religion of progress; it has
gone more deeply in the religion of life
and supplied more bountifully the needs
of-the heart. Every form of religion has
been closely Identified with the healing of
the sick. In this connection, as well as
with the truth of religious teaching, our
Christian Science friends have gone fur
ther than all others. This doctrine, then,
is not new, but it contains truths not yet
fully expanded. To hear these doctrines
more fully explained we have gathered
here today."
Dr. Sulcer was heard with Interest. In
part, he said:
"Christian Scientists declare that 'heal
ing the sick is a natural phenomenon of
Scientific Christianity, of the understand
ing of Jesus' teachings, this declaration
being confirmed by the fact that as his
followers perceive and understand the
real significance of his work, they are able
to manifest that knowledge by healing
disease.' They teach that 'Christian Sci
ence shows us how to take God's word
and apply it in overcoming sickness as
well as sin.' We are practicing Christian
Science only as we are growing less en
vious, less greedy, less selfish, in all their
expressions, by striving to love our neigh
bor as ourself and keeping God's com
mandments, 'choosing rather to suffer af
fliction with the people of God than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.'
They teach that when Jesus 6ald: 'These
signs shall follow them that believe; they
shall take up serpents; and if they drink
any deadly thing it shall not hurt them.
They shall lay hands on the sick and they
shall recover,' the promise was perpetual.
That 'the purpose of this great lifework
extends through time and touches univer
sal humanity; Its principle is infinite, ex
tending beyond the pale of a single period
or a-limited following.'
"We assert everywhere, on all occa
sions, and teach without ceasing, not only
that God Is all-power, but that he Is all
good. We everywhere. teach that all cures
are effected simply by welcoming with
perfect trust and belief the present and
power and beneficence of the Divine, and
by casting out and utterly ignoring all
e,lse. It was through that holy and per
fect and all-embracing influence that Je
sus healed both mind and body, and it Is
through that same Spirit that perfect
healing still does and always must pro
duce the only complete and lasting cures.
"Instead of drugs in any amount, in
any strength or weakness," make mind the
basis of operation, give liberal doses of
Joyous aspiration; urge unlimited Indul
gence in purity of thought and action;
draw measureless draughts, as a free gift,
upon the Father's healing spirit. God's
entire universe Is one vast reservoir of
love and health and happiness which we
may have for the taking. We have only
to do away with all harmful thoughts and
fears, surrender our belief In any power
opposed to God and believe only in the
perfect, and drink joy and vigor without
stint from this reservoir divine.
"That Is the Christian Science method
we believe It is the Christ method the
only method whereby suffering humanity
can be radically saved from sickness, sor
row and sin.
"And the cures wrought by this divine
principle are not confined to ailments re
sulting from weak nerves and hysterical
Imaginations, as so many suppose. The
Ills mastered by It are named by nearly
every noun In the vocabulary of human
suffering. Every Christian Scientist will
thoroughly Indorse the statement of Mrs.
Eddy, who says: 'To reduce Inflammation,
dissolve a tumor or cure organic disease,
I have found mind more potent than all
lower remedies.'
"For years I had been convinced that
no physician, no matter how great, could
be certain of the result of any particular
line of treatment In any particular case,
but the thought was brought home to
me with terrible Intensity when I saw
material remedies fall in the hands of
one of our most learned and exper
ienced physicians during the illness of
my own beloved son, who, at the age of
17 years, yielded up his young life a vic
tim of typhoid fever. Although I had
previously derided Christian Science I
had heard of excellent results indisput-
ably due" to It I had intelligent friends
who 'were ardent in their praise of It,
and -without the least expectation of
being , convinced myself, I determined
to meet it fairly and squarely with as
serious study as I could possibly give
to anything else, and the result was a
thorough conversion to its teachings
and the adoption of Its practice. Strange
ly enough, among the first cases I was
called to attend was one similar to that
of my son a youth of about his age, at
tacked with the same disease as that
which had prevailed against all the re
sources of medicine, and which came
while all its dreadful recollections were
still fresh In' my mind. To all human
appearances this case, In Its complica
tions and malignancy, warranted a
much more unfavorable prognosis than
the former; yet it was treated by Chris
tian Science, wholly without the inter-
'ventlon of material remedies of any kind
whatsoever, and the treatment resulted
In complete recovery. I had before
reached a point at which I did not
doubt I now positively knew, the truth.
"The discovery and exposition of the
truths of Christian Science and the
resultant spiritual elevation and physi
cal betterment of mankind, have been
due to a wisdom and Insight which we
believe could not have been attained
except through divine inspiration and
guidance. Their recognition and es-

tablishment, their astonishing develop
ment in the faoe of wide-spread oppo
sition, the perfect harmony existing
between all organized branches, and
again, between them and their loved
founder, have been achieved through
sagacity, patience, and administrative
genius so great as to be marvelous.
In the colossal work so smoothly, so
quietly, so rapidly accomplished, our
leader has displayed not only those
gifts which place her unon the hl?h-
est spiritual pedestal of her time, but
wiuuu marx ner as the greatest reli
gious general the world has ever seen.
No sword hns been unsheathed, no
mailed hand invoked; no living crea
ture has been mangled or crushed or
made sore In body or bitter in soul;
not so much as one drop of blood has
been s,hed, but love, and love only,
the balm of healing and the gentle
spirit of white-winged peace have
won the hearts and souls of those who
have come under the calm, strong,
sweet influence of her whom we de
light to call our mother.
"As to whether her teachings are based
upon the eternal truths of God there Is
perhaps no better test than that given
by the Master himself when he said, 'By
their fruits ye shall know thom wot.
doctrines are being demonstrated in hun
dreds of thousands of cases and in every
quarter of the globe. 'Do men gather
grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?' has
Its answer everywhere, and its application
extends to the very trend of the mind
Look to the right place and you will get
what you look for. Look to God and
you will And Him. And God and Good are
the same. Many a man thinks he looks
to or for a thing merely because he wishes
for It; but the mere wish, even the most
earnest 'desire, does not win what Is
longed for.
"It is not taught that as a man wishes
in his heart, so Is he; it is ta"ught that
'as a man thinketh in his heart, so Is
he.' A man may be 111 and wish? for
health, and worry night and day because
he hasn't It, and spend thousands of dol
lars and years, of time searching for It
and never find It He is not thinking in
his heart that he has it he Is wandering
amongst the thorns and thistles of erro
neous beliefs and how could he expect
to gather sweet, juicy grapes and rich;
nutritious figs? He is not looking in. the
place where he might find them. He is
not looking where they grow. Let him
look to God, all Good; let him
look to divine Truth and Light and Love
which God's own infinite and perfect tres-
ence sheds about him everywhere, sur
rounding him, filling, him, permeating
everything, really and truly in
finite and unstinted, and abso
lutely free. Believe in it with perfect
faith, take it in joyous thankfulness
without questioning, and health and
strength and peace and love and happi
ness are yours beyond a doubt. Many
a poor suffering soul' has had faith In
its God, whom it Ignorantly worshiped,
has said, 'Not my will but thine be done,'
has borne pain unflinchingly, and re
joiced in the hope of heaven and an eter
nity free from suffering and full of joy.
Yet It has not been freed from that
suffering, and many would say, 'Here is
one. If there ever was one, who Is im
mersed, In the very spirit of God. Why,
If you are right, was he not made well?'
'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.'
Such souls ask support. They get it
They believe that the heavenly Father is
to free them from pain when the body Is
gone; and they realize in proportion to
their belief. But they lack that under
standing of the divine principle of heal
ing, which enables one to realize, through
demonstration, that God's promises are

"Christian Science demonstrates that
'God in very deed dwells with men on
the earth;' that the Infinite Father has
given us all that is comprised In health
and strength; that it is all about us every
where; that in his perfect goodness we
may draw upon it as freely as upon the
free air of heaven; that it is ours not
merely In the eternal future, but that It
Is ours now.
"This Is the secret of Christian Science,
It is the secret of the Christ cure. All is
good. Throw aside cankering mortal
thought. Live in the Christ thought
in the thought and the knowledge that
all is Good; that "the best that Is Is freely
yours; and It Is yours now; that you do
not have to wait for death to begin your
perfect eternity . . . and you will find
that 'As a man thinketh in his heart, so
Is he.'"

SET FOR FINAL HEARING
CASE OF MIDDLE "WEST JOBBERS
v VS. PACIFIC COAST.
Business Men Pat Oat by the Indif
ference of Atlantlo Seaboard
Interests.
The case of the Business Men's League
of St. Louis against a number of Western
railroads has been set for final hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion 'atj. Washington May 6. This is the
case instigated by Middle West jobbers
who allege that the rates of the roads to
the Pacific Coast discriminate against
them In the short hauls to Intermediate
points. It Is believed In Portland that
the session of May 6 will he for the ac
commodation of railroad officials. No
more testimony Is expected from the busi
ness men of the Middle West or the Pa
cific Coast. Their cases are in.
The decision of the commission' will
be announced as soon as the mass of
testimony taken at San Francisco, Port
land, Seattle and in the Middle West can
be weighed and considered. The decision
will be the most Important and far reach
ing in Its effects that the commission has
ever rendered. If the commission fol
lows Its rulings In the cases of the Board
of Trade of Chattanooga against the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia and
16 other .transportation companies, and
George, J. Kindel and the Denver Cham
ber of Commerce against the Atchison.
Topeka,& Santa Fe and other roads, it
may be expected to make some conces
sion to the Middle West jobbers, probably
on the point of how far inland from the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards railroad
rates are affected by water competition.
In the Chattanooga case, decided in
1892, the allegation of the petitioners was
that rates on traffic from New York and
other Atlantic seaboard cities to Chat
tanooga were unreasonable and greater
for the shorter distance to Chattanooga
than for the longer distance over the
same line in the same direction to Mem
phis and Nashville. The commission
held: "Defendants are justified by the.
existence of water competition of con
trolling force In charging less on such
traffic for the short distance to Memphis,
but j that no such competition exists for
such traffic to Nashville, and any greater
change for the transportation of like kind
of property from said seaboard points
for the shorter distance to Chattanooga
than for the longer distance through
Chattanooga to Nashville Is in violation
of the, fourth section of the act to reg
ulate commerce." This decision was sus
tained by the Circuit Court of Appeals.
but was reversed by the Supreme Court
of the United States In the early part
of this month.
In the Kindel case, decided last De
cember, the complaint was that the rates
both on raw material to Denver and the
manufactured article from Denver were
too high and discriminated against Kin
del as a manufacturer of mattresses and
spring beds and Denver as a manufactur
ing city. The railroads answered that
the rates were reasonable, and that the
circumstances and conditions under which
freight is moved between San Francisco
and tRe. Missouri River were different
from those obtaining in the case of traffic
to and from Denver, the main factor re
lied upon as creating such dissimilarity
of circumstances and conditions being
water competition around South Ameri
ca or across the Isthmus. The case in
volved the legality of greater freight
charges to Denver than to San Fran
cisco from the Missouri River and points
East; greater rates from Denver than
from the Missouri River and points East
to San Francisco; greater rates to Den
ver than to the Missouri. River and points
East from San Francisco; and greater
rates from Denver than from San Fran
cisco to the Missouri River and points
East The commission held that the rates
complained of were in violation of the
long and short haul clause of the inter
state commerce act and that as a matter
of general' application, rates at Denver to
or from the East, or to or from the Pa
cific Coast, ought not to bo higher than
those .between San Francisco or other
Pacific Coast terminals and the Missouri
River or points East.
The commission took into consideration
in the Denver case, the relation of trans
continental railroad rates to water com
petition, which is the main point in the
contention between the Middle West and
the Pacific Coast in the suit of the St.
Louis Business Men's League against the
Western railroads. It treated New York
'and San Francisco as representative sea
board terminals, and held that there can
be no question that water competition
does fix the rate between those points.
"Neither can it be questioned," the de
cision continued, "that the effect of this
competition would extend for a certain
distance from the seaboard to the interior
on both coasts." In this Denver case the
Atlantic seaboard has a fine opportuni
ty to urge the Issue of water competition
and transcontinental rates, but failed to
take advantage of It Likewise the Atlan
tic seaboard is supremely indifferent to
the outcome of the case now pending be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and, seems willing to let the Pacific
Coast jobbers fight for the Atlantic sea
board as well as for themselves In the
battle against the Middle West jobbers.
The chance that was open to New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore Is
thus expressed in the decision of the
commission In the Kindel case:
We express no opinion as to what might
be proper if the transcontinental rail lines
simply met the water rate between New
York and San Francisco. In meeting that
rate such carriers might with great propri
ety urge that they were not voluntary agents,
that they simply met a rate made by carriers
not subject to the act to regulate commerce,
that the City of New York was merely ob
taining a rate which Its location upon the
'seaboard gave It. Such Is not the question
hero. The carriers have, In pursuance of their
awn interests, of course, recognized tho de
sire of Chlcaso to transact business on the
Pacific Coast For that reason they have
given to Chicago the same rate, or a better
rate, than obtains at New York. Now, hav
ing recognized the desire of Chicago, can
they refuse to recognize that of Denver?
Having moved this line 1400 miles west to the
Missouri Rlyer, can they stop there and re
fuse to move It further? We thing not . . .
It (Denver) asks the right to do business with
the rest of the world on the same terms as
are accorded Chicago, St Louis and Kansas
City, and we think Its request must be re
garded. New "York's innotlori In the contention
'with the Middle West has made Pacific
Coast business men very "sore." The At
lantic seaboard does an enormous busi
ness with the Baciflc Coast, but is doing
nothing to protect its interests. "If the
Pacific Coast snbuld lose this fight with
the Middle West." said Henry Hahn,
president of the Chamber of Commerce,
yesterday, "The blame will be on the
Atlantic seaboard. New York has laid
back and let us do the fighting. It has
hot helped us in the slightest degree, al
though its Interests are identical with
ours. One of these days New York will
wake up to find the Middle West In con
trol of the railroad situation and itself
with a home territory and nothing
more."

The Unrivaled Johnsons.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Tom Johnson has announced since he
became Mayor of Cleveland, that he will
try to give to the people of the city 3-cent
fares on the street railroads and relieve
them from the "oppression of the grasp
ing monopoly" which now contrbls the
car lines. His brother, Albert L. Johnson,
stands ready to build the new railroad
to carry passengers for 3 cents as soon
as the proper authorities will give & fran
chise to him, and Tom will 'assist him in
getting the franchise, and the people of
Cleveland will think for a little while that
the Johnsons are angels come down from
f heaven to bless them. That Is. unless they
shall begin to wonder at the unexampled
philanthropy of the two brothers and to
Inquire into the propriety of one brother
as Mayor working to boom the business
of another brother in private life.
A Successful Suppresser.
Chicago News.
When the person who owns nearly ev
erything theatrical In the United States
favors the public with his views of art,
the utterance must be regarded as of con
siderable Importance. Mr. Frohman, who
occupies this fortunate position at pres
ent, deprecates the agitation for an en
dowment theater as being a move Inspired
by the "untried geniuses" whose works
he has refused to produce. The theat
rical boss appears to regard the suppres
sion of untried geniuses as a very Im
portant point, and on this score his rec
ord is certainly snow-white. Not even
his worst enemies have ever accused him
of producing the work of a genius.
