Another French Craft Coming Oat In. ttnllnxt May Snips T'lnUIi- Ingr Yesterday. JUh -nags look alike .to the Portland grain exporters when they are In the market for tonnage with which to handle the wheat crop of the Northwest, and as a result British, German. French, Dutch and Danish vessels are 'all represented on the en route list. The latest addition to the list Is the Danish ship Jupiter. This vessel was loaded at Portland before, and is believed to be the only vessel flying the flag of Denmark that has visited the port. The Jupiter Is now en route from Barry to Acapulco, and Is expected to get around to Portland by October or November, She Is reported chartered at 41s 3d for barley, with the slightly lower rate for wheat, which would indicate that rates were holding jheir own re markably well. Another vessel reported fixed for Port land loading is the French bark Colonel de VIHebo's Mareull. Owing to the length of the name or some other rea son not exactly clear at the present time, the Colonel de, etc.. receives but 37s 6d for new-crop loading. The craft Is com ing out from Swansea In hallast to San Francisco Heads for orders, and the pilot who gives her orders -off the heads will nred to have his jaw tackle working easily If he wrestles with more than one section of her name at a time. Otherwise ehe will be well inside the harbor before she sots orders to stay out. Another French bark well known in this port, and which l. anxious to make another raid on the French treasury, is the Duguesclln, which will sail out from England In bal last for a remuneration of 41s 3d or up ward. The French Government Is good to the Oregon farmer, but Just how the ship ping subsidy is appreciated by the French taxpayer is not easily understood in this country, where wc endeavor to make eery tub stand or float on Its own bot tom. SAILORS FROM MAIXE. Deer Inland Men Will Man the Cop Dcfcnder Asraln TIiIm Year. They are good to the crews of the cup defenders down In Maine, even when the men hefore the mast get more than half ?eas over. TSiere are not many courts In the land that would open for business at 30 o'clock at night, and then let the of fender off with a fine of $2 84, but ac cording to a Maine paper received in this city, justice is certainly tempered with mercy when a cup-defender is con cerned. The paper says: "'Two members of the Deer Isle cup defender crew Indulged In a lively scrap on the point "Wednesday afternoon and were taken to the jug. In order that they might go away with the remainder of the crew Judge Campbell gave them a hearing at 10 o'clock "Wednesday night, and a fine of $2 84 was Imposed on each, ""Nineteen men who are to sail on the cup-defender Constitution arrived In this city Wednesday morning, and left that night for Bristol, where they were to re port for duty Thursday. The steamer Catherine brought 17 of the men from the islands, and the other two came on the Mount Desert. The party Tvas made up as follows: F. O. Joyce, F. H. Eaton, Cyrus Thompson, E. T. Carman, C. F. Gray, M. T. Thompson. H. E. Morey, WInfleld Dow, William Morey, Theodore Thompson, Thomas Eaton. Frederick Smith, Gardiner K. Green. Jeremiah W. Eaton. John F. Eaton. Belcher T. How ard, E. L.. Saunders. Michael Eaton and Edward Wood. A majority of these men were on the Columbia when that yacht bo successfully defended the interna tional cup two years ago, The Deer Isle men were in demand for both the Con stitution and Independence this year, but decided to cast their fortunes with Cap tain Rhodes. Another reason which Im pelled them to make this choice was their earnest belief that the Constitution would be the successful competitor for the cup defense. STARVED OX A STEAMER, Wretched Condition of Porto RIcrins Who Reached Haxrali. HONOLULU, May 16. via San Francisco, May 28. Inspection of the Porto Rlcan immigrants brought here by the steamer Colon shows that they are In such a state from the need of food on their voyage that they must be held at the quarantine station and fed until they regain strength sufficient to enable them to" bear the Jour ney to other islands and to the plantations on which they will work. A Joint committee of the Legislature yesterday paid a visit to Quarantine Isl and landing to inspect the immigrants. The trip of the Legislators resulted In dis agreement as to the condition of the Im migrants and their value as citizens of Hawaii. The three Senators who were on the committee have adopted an unani mous report to the effect that the Porto Rlcans are all right, but it Is understood that John Emmeuluth, cf the- House com mittee, will present a report severely de nouncing the planters for bringing the Porto Rlcans here and on account of al leged Ill-treatment of them -when they ar rived. Over half the immigrants on the Colon were women and children, and a consid erable number of the men were infirm, Tvhilevis'fll were more or less emaciated. This is attributed to lack of food in their old homes Some of those who came will never be able to work, and It Is said the planters will secure a representative to act for them In Porto Rico and see that no more such immigrants are sent here at their expense. Objection is made here to the bringing in of so many children, who will have to be educated at the expense of the terri tory, and of many men and women who are sold to be unlikely ever to become healthy and strong. LAST OF THE MAY FLEET. British IlnrU Thlrlmere and German Ship X.ijcde Finish Landing:. The German ship Xajade and the Brit ish ship Thlrlmere finished loading yes terday afternoon. The Najade. which was dispatched by Balfour. Guthrie & Co.. has aboard 101.933 bu;hel; of wheat, valued at .JC2.1KL The Thlrlmere, which was loaded by Kerr. Gilford & Co., has not yet cleared, but has about the same sited cargo on board as the Najafie. This will be the last of the May fleet, and the Alsterschwan Is the only ship that goes over for June loading, and she will probably have a company before the month end. The shipments for May will be larger than a year ago. and for the season to date they are far ahead of last year. Flour shipments for the month new cYawlnj? to a close will also be quite large. INSPECTED THE 1XDRAPURA. Chlnewe Merchants Satisfied With Portland's BIkt Steamers. The Portland & Asiatic Steamship Com pany will be a strong competitor for the Chinese and Japanese passenger traffic against the trans-Pacific steamers sailing from San Francisco and Puget Sound. Yesterday between 200 and 300 of the most prominent Chinese in Portland visited the Indrapura. one of the big ships of the Portland line, and inspected her. V. A. Schilling, city ticket agent of the O. R. & 2C-, put them aboard the Ocklahama at Ash-street wharf at 2 P. M.. and took them to the Indrapura's berth at Lower Albina. The Chinese spent half an hour looking over the ship and examining the accommodations for 200 Chinese passen gers. These quarters, instead of being down In the hold, are on deck, and are comfortably fitted and provided with steam heat. The Chinese were very much pleased. They pronounced' the Jndnipura the equal of any trans-Pacific steamer that sails from any point on the Coast, and promised Mr. Schilling to brlnr their merchandise direct to Portland instead of to Puget Sound, which has heretofore been their route. Portland not only of fers them the advantage of a direct line, but saves them the trouble of breaking bulk at Tacoma for transportation., by rail to Portland. The Indrapura will sail tomorrow with a cargo of nearly 7000 tons. It is expected that .she will be able to take care of S or 10 Ann-class passengers. SEALERS ALL IX. Coast Catch Was Cut Down ny Un favorable Weather. The sealing schooner Aurora Captain Cofc. arrived last night irom rer coast cruise, says the Victoria Colonist, being the last of the fleet expected to come In from the coast, as the others are still absent. The City of San Diego- and the Oscar and -Hattle are to gc- to the Cop-rAT- islands before returning. The Au rora, which has been delayed In reach ing port by the very heavy weather ex perienced since the closing of the seal ing season, had a catch of 332 skins, the greater part of w'llch were taken in four or Ave good sen ling days toward the close of the season, the ontly real good sealing weather ;$Ince she left on De cember 27. When she left the coast on April 20. with but 10 days of the sealing season left to her, the Aurora had 50 skins, and 30 more were taken off Clayo quot, when s'he resumed her voyage. She proceeded jior'h, and by April 29 had succeeded in getting her catch of 332 skins. Two of these were branded, mark ing about 20 In a!I tftat have been taken by the fleet during the season. These branded seals h.d seemingly suffered great pain by the branding of tJieir skins, io judge from their condition, w&ien taken. FIVE COFFEE STEAMERS. Receipts at Sew .Orleans and Xevr York Largest on Record. NEW YORK, May 28. The Herald says: Receipts of coffee yes crday -were a record-breaker at this port, as well as in New Orleans. A fleet bf fivu steamers brought In 163,000 bags, Artilch many brok ers stated were the largest receipts for any one day in the hlstoy of the trade. Thes6 large shipments are e:cpiaina oy the fact that two big inter.ists 'are oppos ing each other In the effoit on one side to bear the market and the oth er to -hull it. Higher prices, the bulls state, will soon come about, as planters will curtail production, owing to the small and unre muneratlve prices now reaHzt-d. The bears, on the other hand, maintain that there will be no decrease in production, as it will more than keep pace -with the demand. Tiot Buylnjr Them AH. LONDON, May 28. Mr. Morgan, Jr., was questioned regarding the Copenhagen dispatch to the London Dally Express saying that his father was negotiating for the control of the Union Steamship Company, of Denmark. He said: "Really, these rumors are too atosurd. We acted as brokers in one shlppln r deal, and ever since that affair the papers have persisted In attributing to us (a de slde to buy up every steamship line In the world. We are tired of denying such nonsense." Schooner Crew Mlislnjr. RACINE, Wis., May 28. The crew of the schooner Rand, consisting of Captain Ralph Jefferson, Racine; Frank Sesbert, Sheboygan; Harry Luteas, Milwaukee, and one passenger. Miss Daisy Jefferson, probably are lost, as wreckage of the boat has been found floating about the shore. Dimensions of Wllavls. ASTORIA. Or.. May 28.

J DEAL IN LACKAWANNA GOULDS SECURING THE ROAD FOR A SEABOARD OUTLET. General Officers of the Memphis Line Resig-n as a Rcsnlt of the Consolidation. NEW YORK, May 28s The Evening Post says: "A 15-polnt rise In the shares of the Lackawanna Railroad today, following yesterday's rise of 5 points and the V& points recorded last week altogether over 25 points In the last 10 days started spec ulation again in Wall street as to de velopments which may be impending in the Lackawanna's position. It was learned today on perfectly trustworthy authority that a deal of some Importance Is pend ing. The theory generally accepted, that the road is desired by the Gould Inter ests as a seaboard outlet for their South western connections, rests' at present on assumption. As regards the question whether control of the Lackawanna could be transferred, the point was raised to day that the stock was so largely held in estates that the control certainly could not be secured in the manner of Mr. Hills' coup in Burlington, by heavy buy ing in the stock market. Control of Lack awanna, if It passes, will be through ne gotiations for large blocks of sharef with managers of estates." A REFUXDIXG SCHEME. St. Louis & San Francisco Will Re adjust Its Bonded Indebtedness. NEW YORK, May 28. The Journal of Commerce says: The- St. Louis & San Francisco Rail road Company has determined' to Indebtedness and the underlying bonds secured by Hens upon its system of rail roads. For that purpose It will create a 50-year gold refunding mortgage to a total authorized amount of $85,000,000. Of this sum $62,500,000 bonds are to be issued and reserved for refunding purposes, and the bonds not required for refunding are to be reserved for additions, extensions, improvements and for additional equip ment and property. The refunding will not only reduce interest charges, but will enable the company to finance more ad vantageously any additions and exten sions of Its system by the sale of bonds having an established market value. In stead of divisional bonds which the com pany has hitherto been compelled to sell on comparatively disadvantageous terms. On completion of the refunding, the re funding bonds will be secured by absolute first lien upon 1902 miles of railroad and the equipment, and when the A, B and C bonds, which mature In 1906, have been exchanged the refunding bonds will have the security of the Hen on the main stem from Pacific, 34 miles west from St. Louis. The earnings of the St. Louis & San Fran cisco for the three months ending March 31 show, after Interest and dividends and all charges, a surplus of $1,451,817, against $763,929 In the same period of the previous year. It Is estimated for the year ended June 30, 1931, that tozal net Income availa ble for payment of fixed charges and divi dends will be no less than $4,000,000, against estimated fixed charges of $2,275,000. The railroad company has agreed to sell $30,000,000 of the new refunding bonds to a syndicate of which J. & W. Sellgman & Co. are managers. The latter have al ready completed arrangements for the ac quisition of about $20,000,000 underlying bonds, which are to be exchanged for new refunding bonds. To avail themselves of the privilege of exchange, holders of un derlying bonds must deposit them on or before July 6 next. The syndicate man agers are also prepared to purchase for cash, at certain stated prices, all or any of the underlying bonds, which may be surrendered to them on or before July 6 next. The right Is reserved at any time without notice, to alter the basis of ex change or the purchase price of the bonds affected or to withdraw wholly or partly the offer of exchange or purchase. MEMPHIS COXSOLIDATIOX. Four General Officers of the System Have Resigned. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 28. It Is an nounced that the consolidation on July 1, of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Mem phis and the 'Frisco railways, will mark the complete effacement of the former road. The new property will. It Is said, be styled the St. Louis & San Francisco. It was reiterated today on good author ity, that the executive officials of the amplified 'Frisco system will be B. F. Yoakum,, president; B. L. Wlnchell, vice president and A. S. Dodge, traffic man ager. Officials below these are being weighed In the balance, and the fate of many of them yet remains to be de cided. The first effective step toward actual consolidation of the two systems wll be taken at once by the abandoning of the superfluous' trains. Four general officers of the Memphis system tendered their resignations today. They are J. E. Lockwood, general pass enger agent; J. D. Riddle, general freight agent; J. S. Ford, controller, and W. A. Nettleton, superintendent of motive power. Controller Forji's resignation takes effect August 1 and the other resig nations are effective June 30. J. E. Lock wood has been general passenger gent of the Memphis 26 years. Other resigna tions as a result of the Memphis-Frisco Consolidation will probably be announced tomorrow. London Settlement With Shorts. LONDON, May 2S. Rumors were cur rent on the stock exchange today that the Morgans and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. have finally agreed to settle with the Northern Pacific shorts at 153, which Is the figure previously suggested. Inquiries made by a representative of the Associated Press led to the belief that this solution of the difficulty will be adopted, although it is not yet actually consummated. J. Pler pont Morgan. Jr., said: "We can say nothing about the North ern Pacific situation. We do not know definitely what will be done." However, a more hopeful feeling pre vailed, and It was generally believed that all serious consequences of the Northern Pacific squeeze would be averted by a set tlement either at 153 or figures there abouts, thus enabling the stock exchange committee, for general purposes, to ob rogate the suspension of buying It. J. Plerpont Morgan was more than busy at his desk In his London office all the morning. It Is not yet decided when he will sail for America. NEW YORK, May 2S. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. will settle with the Northern Pacific shorts In London at 150, the same figure at which an adjustment was effected here. Otto Kuhn. speaking 'in behalf of the firm, today, said to a representative of the Associated Press: "We have by cable directed our Lon don agents and the brokers there who represented us, to settle with all per sons who are short on Northern Pacific and honestly unable to deliver the stock at 150. Settlement upon that basis is now in progress." Xew President B. & O. CHICAGO, May 28. L. F. Loree, fourth vice-president and general manager of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, was In Chicago today on his way to Baltimore to attend a meeting of the Baltimore & Ohio directors, which will be held tomor row. The Record-Herald tomorrow will say: "It can be stated upon unquestioned au. thorlty that Mr. Loree has been selected to fill the position of president of the Bal timore & Ohio. John K. Cowen, now pres ident of the company, will succeed Will iam Solomon as chairman of the board, and In addition will be made general coun sel for the Baltimore & Ohio." Dickinson Hot a Candidate. OMAHA, May 28. Edward Dickinson, general manager of the Union Pacific, who returned today from a three week's trip over that line, was asked about the report from New York that he Is a can didate for the presidency of the New York Central. Mr. Dickinson said he knew nothing of the matter, except what was contained in the New York dispatch. Union Pacific Bonds Listed. NEW YORK, May 28. The governors of the stock exchange today listed the $100, OOS.OOO first Hens, convertible 4 per cent gold bonds of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The statement accompanying the application says that the entire issue of bonds authorized by the mortgage, namely $100,000,000, have been disposed of, $40,000,000 having been subscribed for by stockholders. The income account and balance sheet for the properties compris ing the Union Pacific syetem, made up to the latest practicable date, accompanies the generar statement. The total assets amount to $461,568,514. The balance sheet gives the amount as total liabilities. Redaction on. Manitoba Lines. WINNIPEG, Man., May 28. Premier Roblin announced today that a V per cent reduction on all tariffs affecting trade will be made on all the old North ern Pacific lines in Manitoba now being operated by the Manitoba Government. It is expected the reductions will go into effect June L Burlington" & Northern Stockholders CEDAR RAPIDS, , la., May 28. The stockholders of the Chicago, Burlington & Northern Railroad Company met here today and re-elected directors, whose terms had expired. The directors re-elected the present officers. PORTLAND'S OPPORTUNITY. It Lies In Proper Reception of River and Harbor Committee. PORTLAND, May 28. (To the Editor.) The coming visit of the river and harbor committee to Portland and the Columbia and Willamette Rivers is a matter of great moment to the interests in this region, and will no doubt receive the attention which It deserves from the business men of Portland. In a general sense the time has come when the harbor, Columbia and Willamette Rivers" must either have great er help from the Government lnthe way of appropriations or Portland will be obliged to assume the burden and go for ward along lines proposed and rendered Imperative by commercial conditions which now obtain. During the recent visit1 of the Ohio and Indiana delegation great effort 'was made to fortify them with knowledge pertain ing to the conditions of the above waters and the vast territory lying adjacent thereto. Perhaps not so much stress was laid upon the magnitude of the rivers as the interests lying beyond, that Is the great "wheat fields of the upper Valley, which are as yet comparatively small to what they will be when the obstruction at the dalles Is removed. The Increase In profit to the farmer will be from 6 to 10 cents per bushel, and that Is a tre mendous factor. The Improvement of the dalles means millions to. the Inland Empire. It was the consensus of opinion, freely expressed by this delegation, that the Columbia should be Improved to Its utmost limits, and, so far as the matter lies within their power, they would cer tainly give it their support, and to this end it is safe to say that we now have 15 votes-ln Congress, more or less doubt ful heretofore. They were very frank In their expressions of appreciation of the kindly Interest manifested by the people of Portland In their behalf, and they were not so narrow-minded as to believe that the motive underlying the ac tion of the people of Portland was alto gether a selfish one. Their expressions of wonder and amazement at the magnitude of the Columbia and Willamette were Interesting to hear, and when Informed that this river carried more water into the ocean than any other on the Western Hemisphere, with one exception, their amazement was beyond comprehension. This information seemed to convince them that the Government should be very llberal In its appropriations, and that no time should be lost In giving the Colum bia River channel the depth desired, and also the improvement of the upper river, so necessary for the growth of the com merce of not only the Inland Empire, but Port of Portland as well. Seeing is be lieving, and they saw and believed. Important as was the visit of this dele gation, greater, If possible, will be that of the river and harbor committee. Theo dore E. Burton, of Ohio, chairman of this committee, is a "heavy-weight" In Con gress. Walter Reeves, of Illinois, Is a man of influence. Dovener's voice is often heard in the halls of Congress. Mor ris of Mississippi Is also a member of the committee on levees and Improve ments. Our own Thomas H. Tongue Is not only a member of this committee, but chairman of the committe on Irriga tion of arid lands. Davidson of Wiscon sin Is also a member of the committee on rivers and canals. Catchings of Mis sissippi Is a member of the committee on expenditure, justice, transportation, etc. Bankhead of Alabama is a member of uie committee on public buildings and grounds. Berry of Kentucky Is a mem ber of the committee on foreign affairs. Not the least of these is Sparkman of Florida and Ball of Texas; the latter Is also a member of the committee on re vision of laws. Every one of these and others whose names are not mentioned are men of wide reputation, and have within their control millions of dollars In appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors, and the visit of the 17 which constituted this committee, to gether with the 15 who have already been here, make a total of 32, and, to be frank, we want these votes, and we want them badly. It Is an opportunity for the busi ness men of Portland, and they are alive to the occasion, and no effort will be spared to secure an Itinerary which will be replete with Information and highly beneficial when the next river and harbor bill comes before Congress. A little bread on the waters, In the shape of money well spent, will come back many fold, and help sustain the reputation which Portland has, that of be ing the "greatest port on the Coast." A. J. OAPRON. m Drake the Plunger Reappears. NEW YORK, May 2S. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from London says: John A. Drake, of Chicago, has reap peared on the English turf at Hurst Park. He played heavily and won. Drake's plunging last Summer was one of the big sensations of the turf. His win nings were enormous, especially at Ascot. Drake Is the American around whom British attacks on American horsemen centered last season. In the Fall he sold his whole stable and vowed that not an other horse of his would race In England again. Wlshard, his trainer, had made winners of animals previously rated as platers, and provoked such articles as one headed: "Do American Trainers Doctor Their Horses?" Mr. Drake won the Prince of Wales, Doncaster, Royal Hunt, Stewards' and several other cups. The noted horse of his stable was Royal Flush, and Lester Reiff rode many winning races In the Drake colors. Drake's winnings for last season are reputed to have amounted to $1,000,000. Metal-Workers' Wage Scale. MILWAUKEE. May 28. The wage com mittee of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, In Its report to the convention tomorrow, will recom mend that there be no change In the scale of the sheet-steel hands, and In the re port there will be no advance asked In the wages of this division of workers who are members of the amalgamated associa tion. A few minor changes in the work ing rules of the sheet-steel workers are all that; are recommended by the com- j mittee In regard to this class of work- ers. There is no increase recommenaeu In the wages of the tlnworkere, except on larjre srauires. The only general de mand for an advance. It is stated, will be J on tne iron scale, Dasea on me puaaune price. This Increase Is said to be from 10 to 15 per cent, and affects all classes of Ironworkers. AN OPEN LETTER. To the Pnplls of the Public Schools of Portland. (From Major Alfred F. Sears.) In accordance with custom sanctified by the years, men reputed of fire-proof pat riotism have been detailed to present "themselves In the public schools at this time of sacred memory-loving monu ments in tlje halls of Liberty. You will see old soldiers and young soldiers; men who know" battles and their wounds;- and men, equally brave and loyal who have never been within 2000 miles of a battle-field, but will draw your admiring sympathy, as they have your fathers' votes with the empty sleeve gained In a sawmill, while the man who lost his leg In a railroad accident will "shoulder his cruth and show how fields are won," as he learned It In the camp of Instruction. The old soldier of our country has been so long with us, and Is- so distribuieu among the population that- nearly every family has pne or more on exhibition, and he is already "an old story." If you read carefully the literature of the op pressed taxpayer of the country, you learn that he Is a "cuseld fraud" or a "blooming humbug." When the men who patriotically remained at home to keep the machinery of Government running nnd put up the prices of their goods to meet the depreciated value of the paper money with which the country was flooded, thebe miserable nincompoops shouldered muskets for $13 a month, which has never yet been paid! They served four years,, and were then sent home with stuff that reduced their pay from the amount promised to less than $4 50. They took the reduced amount without a murmur and went homo to And 'their families crowded Into a cellar or garret because the soldlera' money was not good enough for the pat riotic landlord. And now, when the old fellow asks a prosperous Nation to make up to him a small part of the $400 with compound Interest, his just due on the long credit he has given the Nation, he is denounced as "grinding the face of the poor taxpayer," who once promised him he should never suffer If he would save him from ruin by standing between him and danger. x What, in the name of honor, truth and justice, makes a man a taxpayer If not the. ability and obligation to pay taxes In the possecsion of property? Who should pay for the salvation of the country, which could not pay cash when the work was being done, if not the men who have prospered In the land because of that work for which the Nation is 6tlll In ar rears? The men who loaned the Govern ment money on a bond are today being I paid In gold. Why shall not the men who gave their best years and risked their Uvea, and received only 35 per cent of their pay at the time, be now consld erer In the day of enormous wealth, which their sacrifices made possible? Why are they to be reckoned paupers or robbers when they simply ask their due? My young friends, you are fcoon to en ter the ranks of citizenship, and will be called on to consider this question as one of National Importance. While It teaches you the cost of war, let It not blind you to the duty of sacrifice, which Is youi part. The Civil War of 61 to '65 was one of the gigantic wars of the world's his tory, and Its results should be of the most lasting character. Although the Amer ican Revolution was ended nearly 120 years ago, there were 11 names, pensioners of that struggle on the list of last year, while of the War of 1812, the pension list carries more than 1700 names, and the little Mexican War, now more than a half century old, bears still a pension list of 16,500 names. Do not expect to see the final settlement of our country's account with the men who bore the brunt of the Civil War and their dependents while your generation lasts. The end of the century will still have Its, list of the Nation's cred itors on account of that war. The Span ish War has taught us that the battles of freedom were not all fought out when the Civil War ended; but, thanks to that wa:, we were able to pay our soldiers In this later event an advanced rate, and in the best gold coin of the world. Let us hope we may escape wars in the future, but to do so we must live prepared to meet them and give them a speedy ending, when they are forced upon us by the demands of civilization in the cries for freedom of a struggling people. You, who enjoy the Nation's gift in the public schools of America, possesss a . grand privilege, that carries with It a tremendous responsibility to your coun try. If we are to believe In the earnest ness of a recent council of clergymen of one of our religious sect we shall soon have on hand a war In defense 6f tho American public school system. These men have declared their right to take irom the public taxation to support the paro chial schools of their sect. They have shrewdly stated the case In ,a Jesuitical way by declaring It unjust to tax their churchmen to support the public schools when they prefer to send their children to the schools of their own re ligion. The public school Is the corner stone of American liberty. It Is strictly an Amercan Institution. Herein, the chil dren of rich and poor, of all sects and no sect, of native and of foreign birth, meet and mingle and grow to manhood and womanhood together American man hood and womanhood. Here they culti vate common sympathies, mutual friend ships and acquire a correct estimate of the character of those who must after a time occupy the relation to them of fellow-citizens. The pupils of parochial schools of whatever sect grow apart from the "common herd" toward which they tilt the nose. These schools are patron ized by snobs and bigots. By bigots, to shut the minds of the young against all light that falls not from their little lan tern; by snobs, to secure a coveted so cial relation. None of these schools pos sess the educational advantages or facil ities of the American public school, of parallel grade. A new contest, Jesuitical, treasonabte. In Its methods Is now to be made against the system, which has, from the founda tion of our country, been prized as Its most beautiful and precious jewel by those whose sympathies, teachings and practices are foreign to our Institutions, though' clamorous with democratic blath er religion, called by its differing sub jects "Truth" cannot be justly taught in the public schools of a free people. "Truth lies In the bottom of a well. " Every man who looks there sees himself reflect ed, and even with a dirty face, accepts the reflection as the deepest truth. My dear young friends, stand by the publlo schools of America. It is the staunch, strong staff of your country's flag. It leaves every one of you free to the practice of whatever religion you will, and what Is more, It leads you into a broad sympathy with the human famlly of which you are a part, Instead of blnd- t means to say rX 1 Millions sing the praises of Pearline. ! eorrnitnr i,t.i lriLmoOHmOAHiu co.cwcmiUTl Hi WITHIN REACH. 1 I for yJECASIi of its low price Ivory Soap is I lrH within the reach of all.
