THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 30, 1902.
STAND BY STRIKE
Woodworkers Refuse to Go
Back to Work. '
STILL DEMAND NINE-HOUR DAY
Blillovrners and Blaster Builders "Will
Enforce Counter-lloycott hy He
Insinff to Allow Union Team
sters to Haul Lumber.
The strike situation yesterday present
ed many complications. The -woodworkers
Tield a meeting and decided t"h'at they
would not return to their -work unless a
nine-hour hay -was granted. The fact
that the carpenters have broken away
and refused to enforce the boycott makes
the union weapon rather weak, while
the mlllowners and-master builders have
taken still further jsteps toward enforcing
the counter-boycott, and now no union
teamster will be allowed to haul lumber
from any of the mills. The union men
are divided in their opinion as to what
Is the best course jto pursue. Many think
that it is for the best interest of the
unions for the woodworkers to bold out,
while it is the opinion of others that It
would be to the best interest of all con
cerned for the men to return to their
work for the present time and to wait un
til they are in a better position to enforce
their demands.
Since the carpenters have disavowed the
boycott there Is danger that other unions
may do the same and that the boycott
may entirely lose Its effect. While there
are none that openly say that they will
do as the carpenters did, the members of
some of the unions are so divided in their
opinions that such action may be looked
for. The combination of employers has
taken such aggressive steps toward fight
ing the boycott that it is now impossible
for building operations to progress where
any who enforce the boycott are em
ployed. It was reported by several ex
pressmen that the sawmills had refused
to let them, haul any lumber from the
yards because their wagons had a union
label on. A millman was asked con
cerning the matter and said: "There is
no written agreement among us on that
point, but it is the mutual understanding
that no union teamster can haul lumber
from our yards. They made themselves
a nuisance. At some of the planing mills
loads would be started, and when another
union man was met the teamster would
be prevailed upon not to haul the load,
and it would be brought back or unloaded
in the street. It even got so bad that
some of the truck companies could not
get their men to haul machinery to the
unfair mills. It Is none of their fight, and
we thought that they were carrying it too
far and that something would have to be
done to stop it."
It is now Impossible for any one to buy
lumber from, any of the sawmills unless
a certificate bearing the signature of one
of the unfair planing mills Is presented,
and nlso impossible for any union team
ster to haul lumber from their mills.
The sentiment expressed among the
union people yesterday as to what course
would be pursued and what course ought
to be pursued differed greatly. AU re
garded the action of the, carpenters as a
serious blow. It was also evident that
no little dissatisfaction existed among
the members of some of the other unions.
Many thought that the woodworkers
would and ought to hold out until the
last, that concession now would be fatal
to the union standing for years to come.
Others thought that the proper course to
pursue would be to return to work and
remove the boycott, and get themselves in
a shape to make a more effective fight at
a later date.
The woodworkers held a meeting In the
afternoon to decide whether or not they
should return to their work. The vote of
the meeting was that they should not re
turn until the trouble was settled. "Wo
will still hold out," said they, "if they
al 'desert. us. Our men are standing firm
and we still expect to win the fight. The
words of G. Y. Harry were misinterpret
ed at the meeting the other day, and we
did not send the committee to Interview
the planing-mlll men at his suggestion."
The woodworkers refuse to state what
Mr. Harry's advice to them was, but in
sist that he was misunderstood. They
Tefuse to give out anything that took
place at their meeting except that they
voted not to go back to work.
The mlllowners are well pleased with
the turn that things have taken and say
that they are confident that the trouble
will soon be settled. "We are not put
ting too much stock In It, however," said
one of them yesterday, "and shall con
tinue to get men as fast as we can. The
sooner the men get back to their work
the more of them will get places." The
North Pacific Planing Mill is expected to
start up this morning. Mr. Jackson says
that he will have about five of his old
crew at hand ready for work, and that he
expects more in a short time.
Employers in the other mills state that
many of their men are asking for their
placesback. One of the men came to
the Hand Manufacturing Company's mill
and asked If he could be given work.
"Let me see 'If you are in earnest," said
Mr. Hand. "If you really mean it, put
on this apron and go to work right now.
There is no use of waiting until tomor
row." The man took the apron and went to
work.
LAUNDRIES TRY TfEW PLAN.
Economy "Will Be Effected by Abol
ishing: Agencies, Discounts, Etc.
The following notice has been distrib
uted to the patrons of the various laun
dries of the city:
"To Our Patrons Owing to the recent
advance in labor and material, we find It
necessary to take some steps to offset the
difference in the present cost of -operating
our plants.
"Instead of raising the price of laundry
work, we have decided to discontinue all
local agencies, and to allow no discounts
or commissions after July 1, 1902.
"All work will be charged for at regular
list prices."
This does not mean any material change
in prices or in the arrangements of the
laundries. "Prices In all lines have been
raised," said one of the laundry-owners
yesterday, "and we found it necessary to
get more money for our work. We did not
wish to raise prices, and so decided to re
move the discounts and commissions. For
family bundles we have heretofore allowed
a generous discount and have been allow
ing barber shops and other places where
our work was handled a generous com
mission. All of this will bo stopped and
our drh'ers will handle all of the work
unlets some choose to do it for the accoml
modatlon of their customers. It means no
change In prices or In any of our arrange
ments." '
CARPENTERS NOT DISLOYAL.
They Were Illegally Called Out, Says
a Member of the Union.
PORTLAND. June 29: (To the Editor.)
I see by this morning's Oregonlan
the carpenters are called disloyaL
Now, as the Carpenters Union- has
been censured all through this trou
ble, I wish to make a statement of facts
to you and wish you "would give them to
the public, and then the public can judge
for themselves as to tho justice of our
action in this matter.
In the first place, we were called out
illegally; in the second place, tho heft
of the load fell on the carpenters and
their Xriends, who were most of tho
contractors, as they had taken contracts,
not looking for trouble from the carpen
ters, as we have no grievances.
Wo have tried to have the Building
Trades Council allow the contractors to
finish all contracts let prior to the 1st
of May, which was only justice. Now,
after trying for four weeks to get them
to do what Is right and Just and they
would not. we did it as a union. Now,
If this is disloyal, we are disloyaL We do
not intend to work any of the unfair
material on houses contracted for since
the 1st of May. What we did, we
thought was only justice to the con
tractors and people who had buildings
under way at the time. Anyone letting
contracts since that date, did so with
their eyes open.
H. S. HEWITT, Member Union No. 50.
Walters' Boycott Still On.
There was a rumor abroad yesterday
that the boycott had been removed from
the unfair restaurants. Several restaurant-keepers
were Interviewed yesterday
and none knew of any such actlpn having
been taken. The union people say that
the boycott will continue to be enforced
by them and made as effective as It Is
possible for them to make It. The re
port probably grew out of the fact that
-some professed union men are disregard
ing the boycott and eating at non-union
houses.
STRIKE LEGISLATION.
S. H. Grober Snpsrests a Remedy for
Labor Troubles.
PORTLAND, June 2S. (To tho Editor.)
The strikes by tho several labor or
ganizations of Portland, and the combina
tions formed by the rnlllownera to resist
the unions, have assumed such a serious
aspect that one cannot help think that
there should be some definite legislation
tending to stop all such great menace
to the future growth and welfare of our
city and the loss of property, and even
life itself, of innocent persons, to say
nothing of such as might be sustained by i
those taking part on one side or the other
of the controversy.
Within reasonable limits there is no
questioning the rights of the employes to
combine for their mutual benefit and pro
tection, and so there Is no questioning the
right of employers to employ whom they
please and at such wages as they can bo
reasonably justified In paying, but on the
other hand the labor unions, which are
not always controlled by the wisest men,
nor in the Interests of the majority of the
laborers, but largely by what might be
termed fanatical agitators or the extrem
ists of labor organizations, on the one
hand, and men among the employes who
are of the same extreme class on the
other hand, and neither of whom will lis
ten to or heed the wiser counsels of men
having the welfare and best Interests of
tho great majority of laboring men and
their families, as well of tho people in
general, at heart, are not capable of set
tling matters of such grave Import to tho
people.
The loss resulting to the laboring men
of Portland so far this year from strikes
has amounted to possibly $100,000 or more;
furthermore, the loss to the employers to
a large amount, possibly as much more,
but worst of all the loss to the City of
Portland, the County of Multnomah and
the State of Oregon la taxes on buildings
and other Improvements which would have
been made, but which will not now be
made this year, and, as life- is uncertain,
may never be made, cannot be estimated
with any degree of accuracy, but will be
large.
All the people of the State of Oregon
are therefore financially Interested In the
matter of all such strikes and conten
tions between the laborers and labor
unions and employers of labor.
I suggest as a remedy that a law bo
passed organizing a Labor Arbitration
Bureau, to consist of three persons, who
shall hold office for 10 years and be paid.
say, $2400 each per year, and who shall
be prohibited from holding such office
for a second term, and who shall not be
permitted to be employers of labor or to
own shares of stock or any direct Inter
est In any manufacturing establishment
or trust company, nor belong to any labor
union of any kind or be connected there
with. Such Arbitration Bureau to have
the absolute power to enforce the produc
tion of tho books of employers and to
hear and determine all matters of dispute
and all grievances of whatsoever kind that
may exist between laborers and labor
unions and employers of labor, so that
there shall be no cause for any strike.
Such a law would also provldo that any
person who shall advise a strike or incite
others to stop laboring for any other em
ployer, or who prevent or attempt to pre
vent any one from working for any such
employer, or who shall discriminate
against any person on account of the fact
of his (or her) belonging to any labor or
ganization, or who shall try to induce any
other employer not to employ any one on
account of his (or her) being a member
of any such labor union or organization,
or to discharge any employe on account
of his (or her) being a member of any
labor union or organization, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on
conviction shall be liable to punishment
by a fine of not less than $50 nor more
than $1000, or to Imprisonment for not
less than 30 days nor more than five
years, or to both such fine and imprison
ment. Such law should also provide that any
person, firm, corporation or organization,
and each and every officer thereof, who
shall be a party to Euch grievance so sub
mitted to such Arbitration Bureau for
settlement, who shall refuse to abide by
any decision of such bureau, or who shall
endeavor to get others so to do, shall bo
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convic
tlon be punished by a fine of not less than
5100 nor more than 510.000. or by not less
than one nor more than 10 years' impris
onment, or In the discretion of the court
to both such fine and imprisonment.
If a special session of the Legislature is
called, let it be done at once for the pur
pose of furthering the settlement of the
present strikes by the passage of a law
embodying tho foregoing, but if no spe
cial session of the Legislative Assembly
Is called, then some such legislation
should be had as soon as the regular ses
sion convenes. S. H. GRDBER.
A Drugstore Story.
Syracuse. Herald.
The present rate war which is raging
among the local druggists recalls the old
story of the man who rushed Into a drug
store late one night and Inquired the -price
of a certain patent medicine.
"One dollar a bottle," replied the drug
gist. "But I haven't got a dollar," replied the
man, "and my wife Is very sick."
"It will cost you a dollar," Insisted the
druggist, but without further parley the
customer, made desperate by his wife's
plight, snatched the bottle, and putting
down a dime on the counter, turned and
ran out of the store.
Following him as far as the door, the
story goes, the druggist bawled' after him,
triumphantly;
"Never mind; I've made 100 per 'cent on
thcmediclne just the same."
His Lnst Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel. Gcbo, Mont.
In the first opening of Oklahoma to set

among the many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one fine day in April.
During his traveling about and afterwards
his camping upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe diar
rhoea, which it seemed aimost impossible to
check, and along In June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
big dose was glverr him whlle he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and In a few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect of the
medicine" was soon noticed, and within
an hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. That ono
little bottle worked a complete cure, and
he cannot help but feel grateful. The

DANGER IS NOT" SERIOUS 1
CORRESPONDENT VIEWS REFER
ENDUM WITH ALARM.
Nevertheless, the Ship of State Will
Doubtless Flounder Along: "With
out Going to the Bottom.
LA GRANDE, June 27.-To tho Editor.) '
At the recent election tho people of this
state, by a large majority, adopted what'
Is called tho initiative and referendum
amendment to our constitution. This is
the first amendment that has been'adopt
ed to our constitution, and it was adopted
with little consideration of Its contents
or of lta effect on the remainder of ?tjie
constitttlon.
Idesiro to draw attention to a few of
Its provisions, and permit me to say. In
limine, that the changes effected by it
amount almost to a revolution.' :
In the first place. It abolishes the veto
power of the Governor as to all measures
referred to the people under this amend
ment. This is a very important' change.
Under the constitution "as It was" the
Governor had a qualified veto as to all
measures passed as laws. Under this
amendment the people can enact laws
without tho consent or concurrence- of the
Legislature and without the approval of
the Governor. The people are lipreme
and it makes Oregon a true democracy.
This amendment contains this reserva
tion: "But the people reserve to them
selves the power to propose laws and
amendments to tho constitution and to
enact "or to reject the same at the polls,
independent of the Legislative" Assem
bly, and also reserve the power, at their
option, to approve or reject at' the polls
any act of the Legislative Assembly."
The people at the polls can enact any
law that they desire without the concur
rence of the Legislature, and they can,
at' the polls, at their option, reject any
law passed by the Legislature.
This I contend approaches yery near a
revolution In tho matter of law-making.
It abolishes the Governor's veto and re
serves to the people an absolute right to
veto all laws passed by the Legislature,
excepting those "for the preservation of
the peace, health and safety."
'This amendment contains this provis
ion: "Any measure referred to the people
shall take effect and become a law when
It is approved by a majority of the votes
cast thereon, and not otherwise."
What Is the offect of this amendment
upon the remainder of the constitution?
It docs not limit the law-making power
of tho people. Are the limitations of tho
constitution repealed by .this amendment
as to laws "enacted by the people"?
Let us suppose that the people under
this amendment "enact" a law that con
travenes somo provision of the consti
tution, for example, granting a salary of
$5000 per annum to the Governor. Would
such an act bo constitutional? It would
be enacted by tho people in accordance
with this amendment, which Is later In
timo than the remainder of tho constitu
tion, and it may be plausibly argued that
such a measure would be valid and con
stitutional. In other words, it is not
wholly absurd to contend that the people
when they legislate under this amend
ment are not fettered by the limitations
contained in the old constitution. What
think you? VOTER.
Revolution is not a proper word to use
in describing the change that has been
made in Oregon's system of government,
for that word, In its common acceptance,
means the overthrow of one government
and the substitution of another. We still
have a representative form of govern
ment, subject tb certain salutary restric
tions upon tho i power of the representa
tives. Tho Oregonlan does not believe there Is
any cause for alarm over the new clause
In the constitution. The people formed
the government )jy the adoption of a con
stitution, and In that instrument they de
clared their rljjftt to alter or abolish tho
government Itself at such time as might
suit their pleasure. In distributing the
powers of government, the people as
signed to a body of their representatives
the duty of making laws. Over 40 years
of experience has taught them that their
representatives are too frequently led
Into the enactment of unwise and per
nicious legislation, and In order to place
a check upon this, harmful use of power,
the people have placed a limitation upon
their representatives by reserving tho
right to enact laws themselves or reject
laws the Legislature has made.
This Is entirely proper. The people are
supreme. They are greater than the Gov
ernor or the Legislature, and they are less
likely to make mistakes. Governors and
Legislators are supposed to be servants
of the people, but too often they act as
though (they were masters. The peoplo
should, and now do have tho power to
overrule the Legislature and the Gover
nor" and enact their own will as law.
Still, this change in our constitution is
not as :great in Its every-day application
as It Is. In" its possibilities. For all ordi
nary "purposes and occasions, the Legis
lature will go on making laws and the
Governor will continue to exercise the
veto power, but when, by means of trades
and Improper lobbying, evil legislation
has Been placed upon the statute books,
tho people will exert their restraining
power. It Is entirely proper that tho peo
ple, should propose and enact any sort of
laws without the consent or concurrence
of either the Legislature -or the Governor.
But it is not probable that the people
will often exercise their Initiative or ref
erendum privilege. Under a constitution
which makes the referendum possible,
The Oregonlan expects to ece such legis
lation as will not call for action on fhe
part of the people for many years to
come.
The Oregonlan does not believe, as tho
correspondent Intimates, that under the
Initiative and referendum the people can
enact legislation that will contravene the
provisions of the constitution. The peo
ple have set limitations upon themselves
In their fundamental law, and that re
mains the supreme law until it has been
changed. .It Is true that the .new amend
ment says that "any measure referred to
the people shall take effect and become
a law when It Is approved by a majority
of the votes cast thereon, and nbt other
wise." But this refers'td the time of Its
taking effect, and does not mean that It
shall take effect regardless of its being
In violation of the constitution. The constitution-provides
that laws shall take ef
fect 0 days after approval by the Gov
ernor, but this Is also a limitation as
to time. The new provision Is Intended
to guard against a law taking effect
ponding an expression from the people.
In this same connection there Is a very
important feature of the amendment
which the correspondent did not mention.
Heretofore the Legislature could put a
law into effect immediately by attaching
an emergency clause. It became the cus
tom to declare that an emergency existed
in almost every case. Under the amend
ment, laws can go Into operation in less
than 90 days on ono of three conditions
that the emergency is the "preservation
of peace, health or safety." This also Is
entirely proper. Heretofore tho Legisla
ture was the solo judgo of what consti
tutes an emergency; now tho peoplo havo
prescribed under what circumstances the
Legislature "may enact laws without giv
ing, them 90 days in which to file a refer
endum petition.
TOO MUCH DISPLAY. .
Letter Called Fortk by a Recent Ar
ticle in The Oregonlan.
OSWEGO, Or., June 28. (To the Edl
.tor.) Your admirable article, under the
-caption, "English King and American
Republic." in The Morning Oregonlan of
Thursday, Is full of much suggestion to
tho student, and Its implication that all
revolutions are. In fact, of gradual growth,
although culminating in a climax, is a
truth" that cannot be too constantly borne
In mind. Thought, being the child of ex
perience. Is doubtless largely governed by
tendencies inherited from Its parent. This
Is true of the thought of nations and pe
riods, as w 11 as of Individuals, since the
first are but aggregations of the last. As
you suggest, under tho circumstances
America must have derived her Ideas of
government from England, with the re
sult that the governmental conditions
prevailing In the two countries are much
more alike than would appear to be the
case from a superficial glance.
But while being entirely with you In all
this, I am yet Inclined to think that those
who accuse Americans who have taken so
much interest In the proposed coronation
In England, of toadying to royalty, aro not
altogether without justification.
Almost 3S years ago, on arriving in New
York from England, I visited a court of
justice and was somewhat shocked at the
absence of gowns, wlgs-and official robes.
For a moment it seemed that the court
lacked dignity. However, it was not long
before I discovered that Inherent dignity
needed no outward trappings of state.
This opinion has continued to grow with
me. Surely, It is the extravagance of the
pageant In England that so largely at
tracts; and the protest Is against this
class of attraction. It is true that we are
guilty of similar display, on a smaller
scale, in our inauguration ceremonies and
on other occasions. Analyzed, the pro
test would appear to be directed against
two evils, viz.: First, the misappropria
tion of wealth, or tho misdirected expend
iture of energy for all wealth is derived
from tho expenditure of mental and physi
cal energy; second, the undue emphasis
of the Importance ofKmo individual. In
the first case. It Is natural to ask whether
the good or evil, resulting from such pub
lic shows, predomfnates? Whether the
money (or Its equivalent energy) could
not be far more profitably expended?
Whether the business risks encouraged
by such extensive pageants aro Justified
by the probable profits? And finally,
whether the redistribution of wealth ac
companying such holidays is calculated
to promote the common good? That on
occasions of such ynt "rejoicings," In
temperance and prostitution receive an
immense stimulus Is known to all who
have intimately watched" their Inner
workings.
It certainly would appear that money
expended in such permanent works as
parks, streets, baths, schools, colleges,
etc., would do more good and ultimately
produce more unmixed ' happiness than
when expended In parades, costly robes,
Jewels, ornaments and even fireworks. In
the present case, many peoplo have been
Indued to spend large sums of money In
erecting stands from which to view the
procession, providing food for tho ex
pected spectators, etc, with hopes of se
curing profit, and some In hopes of get
ting out of their difficulties. The post
ponement of tho ceremony will have
wrought ruin to not a few of these. ,
Further, many hardworking men and
women are known to spend weeks and
months of wages In participating in such
events, and those enriched by such ex
penditures aro by no means always to be
counted as amongst our best citizens. And
what good comes of all this expenditure
and display? Tho cost is immense, the
show Is, after all, a small matter, when
we think of other pleasures, for
No price Is ret on the lavish Summer;
June may be had by the poorest comer;
And what Is so rare as -a day in June?
I am thinking of Walter Besant'3 vivid
picture of East London, and how these
vast sums of money might havo been
spent to bring permanent joy end the lovo
of the truly beautiful, in the shape of
parks and stately, tree-lined boulevards,
into the midst of the dull monotony of
these hundreds of thousands of workers.
But perhaps the strongest feeling of
protest Is made (often unconsciously, I
admit) against the undue emphasis on the
importance of an individual. For, In pro
portion as any system of government is
dependent for its success on the qualities
of any one person, is it defective. That
government that goes smoothly on in
spite of the personal peculiarities of, or
accidents to. Its chief officer Is certainly
the best. In both case of President nnd
Klnghe people have a right to demand
service. It Is efficient service that alone
has a valid claim to honorable recogni
tion on their part. In some degree they
always feel this. Outward display and
pomp especially when It precedes instead
of follows service rendered can hardly be
called a suitable recognition of such ser
vice. It Is not the office that honors the
Incumbent, but rather the faithful per
formance of the functions appertaining
thereto. The pageant and robes cannot
add dignity to the office nor secure its
better administration. Worths- things
speak for themselves, needing neither out
ward adornment nor blare of trumpets.
Thus the Sermon on the Mount would not
have gained in either beauty, truthf or In
fluence had Jesus, when he gave' utter
ance thereto, been clad In pontifical vest
ments; nor St. Paul's address to the Athe
nians have acquired more weight had he
been attired in a cardinal's hat and cloak;
while to Imagine Socrates discoursing wis
dom, in the coronation robes of Edward
VII provokes more than a smile. Robes
may temporarily mask defects, as we re
member to have seen Illustrated in
Thackeray's three sketches, "Ludovicus,
"Rex," "Ludovicus Rex," but they can
not render either the wearer, his words
or acts of any more worth than they are
in themselves.
Our protest Is, therefore, against the
worship of "the outward and visible
sign," of what should be. but is not al
ways an Inward and spiritual grace."

Mr. Cumming-Bruce. of the Seamen's In
stitute. The service was an Interesting
and impressive one, and the friends of the
church were pleased to know that the
church building and rectory adjoining
were freo from debt. The lato William
Sherlock donated the ground, and an un
known donor went to the expense of
erecting tho church, which cost about
$2000. The evening service took place at
8 o'clock last night, when many friends
outside the Immediate neighborhood were
present. The sermon was preached by
Bishop Keator, of Olympla. who spoke
from, Psalms lxxxiv:l-2. Among the vis
iting clergymen present were Rev. Mr.
Powell, of this city, and Rev. Mr. Ham
mond, of Oregon City. The first service

ITALIAN CHURCH DEDICATED.
Archbishop Christie Celebrates Pob
tlflclnl HlRh Slass.
The dedicatory services of the new Ita
lian Catholic church, at the corner of
Fourth and Mill streets, were held yes
terday morning. Pontifical high mass
'was colobrated by Archbishop Christie,
and among the clergymen present were
the pastor. Father Cestelll; Bishop
O'Dea, of the diocese of Washington;
Father O'Reilly, the Rev. Drs. Tillman
and Quintan. Monsfgnore Blnnchet, Fath
er Murphy, Father Black, Father Thomas
of Mount Angel, prior of tho Benedictine
Order, Father Bolla, Father Qulnn and
Fatheiv Chelanalll, who delivered the
dedicator" seron. The choir of St.
Mary's cathedral, numbering 40 voices,
was prosent and under tho leadership
of Professor Adrian Epping, rendered
an excellent programme. The threo Ita
lian societies the Christopher Columbus,
the Mazzlni, and tho Druids were strong
ly represented and the three courts of the
Catholic Order of Foresters attended
in a body. The seating capacity of the
church was not adequate to the demand,
and a large numbor had to stand on the
stairway and on tho sidewalk in order
to hear the sermon.
In the course of his sermon. Father
Chelanalll referred to the generosity
of the Italian citizens, who had bounti
fully contributed to the building" of the
church. So far as architecture was con
cerned It was ono of the finest edifices
built by Italians In the country. He ad
vised the congregation to be good Cath
olics in America as thej were good Ita
lians In Italy. The expense of building
the church had been heavy and he asked
that all pay their subscriptions. The
cost of the church was about $20,000 and
about one-half of tho amount has been
paid.
Archbishop Christlo preached a brief
sermon in English, thanking the Italian
citizens who had given financial assist
ance to the building of the church.
In the evening pontifical vespers were
colebrated by Archbishop Christie and a
sermon was delivered by Bishop O'Dea.
THE NEW KINGDOM OF CHRIST.
Sermon by Rev. Charles F. Huss, of
Mclvcesport, Pn.
In the absence of Rev. H. S. Templeton,
of the Westminster Presbyterian Church,
Irvlngton, yesterday, Rev. Charles F.
Huss, of McKeesport, Pa., preached a very
acceptable sermon on the "New Kingdom
of Christ," In a very effective manner Mr.
Huss discussed the present situation In
church affairs and vigorously attacked
modern methods of men when he said:
"Is there not in this age, my friends, of
rapid strides of progress, of material
prosperity and money-getting, danger
positive danger of our forgetting these
wider aspects of our Lord's mission; Is
there not danger of us degenerating his
world-message which accompanied his
truth, 'I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance,' Into a small,
specific and select cult? The world can
not endure the thought that the poor and
lowly, virtuous and intelligent, whosoever
they may be, shall associate with the
high-born and the noble, lest, perhaps, to
all Sense of honor and Justice and right
eousness; yet in the new kingdom only
purity of heart, hollness'of life and recti
tude of purpose create distinctions.
"Wo should properly regard It an Inade
quate account of Christ to lay all empha
sis upon what he camo to save people
from, or to be continually paving the way
to heaven for vain sinners by declaring
what they are saved to, and say positively
nothing of. what Jesus came to save peo
plo for. And It is equally as meager a
statement of hl3 splendid purpose which
speaks only of his relation to the individ
ual soul, and is silent upon his relation to
society and the race. It is true that
Christ came to save lost souls, lost peo
ple and to save each lost individual singly,
and inexpressibly sacred are the experi
ences and evidences of the love of a per
sonal leader and the personal friendship
of our Savior; but Christ came to accom
plish an end far beyond this. He came
to constitute out of these saved Individ
uals, the agonts of a new society, a new
nation, a new humanity.. His gospel will
not be fulfilled In the creation of a loose,
homogeneous aggregate of saved men, not
in the birth and maintenance of a few
self-contained people. He alms at all, to
savo all while he works through each In
dividual soul. His personal salvation has
a collective purpose. We are soldiers of
different talents and tactics, perhaps, un
der one great General, in the same com
pany. "In making new people, he makes new
citizens of a new kingdom and better
Christians, and in making new citizens he
creates new states, and in making new
Christians he makes and builds new
churches for th promulgation of his gos
pel kingdom of truth on earth. Therefore
true Christians who are not ashamed of
Jesus' kingdom will unite with the church
to become workers to that end. If they
do not. their Indifference Is evltfence that
they are shams, and Jesus will punish
shams."
COLONEL PARKER HERE.
He Tallrs of Lincoln County Prosper
ity nnd the Lewis nnd Clark Fair.
Colonel Frank J. Parker, the well
known newspaper man of Walla Walla,
and chairman of tho Washington State
Commission of the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial, Is registered at the Imperial. He
has Just returned from a month's visit to
his lDCO-acre ranch at Yaqulna Bay and
brings hack good reports of affairs in
that county.
"All our crops are in excellent condi
tion," he said last evening, "and we feel
sure of bountiful harvests. All our fruit
crops, especially prunes and apples, are,
the best we ever had, and are In better
condition than are tho fruit crops. In any
other section of the state. Our grase and
clover crops have been exceptionally
good, furnishing good pasturage for cat
tle, so that the dairymen are prospering.
Many people are going into that section
of the state, attracted by the cehapness of
the land, the excellence of the crops and
the healthfulness of the climate. Lincoln
County Is now one of the poorest counties
in the state, but it will become one of
the richest.
"I learned today that a Minnesota syn
dicate has Just taken an option, under a
heavy forfeit, for the purchase of a large
tract of land formerly owned by the
Military Wagon Road Company. The
purpose Is to bring out a large colony and
develop the property. When the land is
cleared It is very productive, being especi
ally adapted to growing grasses for pas
turage purposes.
"Coal has been discovered In Lincoln
County. We do not yet know the extent
of the deposits. Large blocks of coal
were found In Big Elk Creek, on my
ranch and two others, and we have start
ed men out to hunt for the ledge from
which the coal came.
"I believe the Yaqulna Bay country will
furnish good timber for furniture manu
facturing, and that in time this resource
will prove to be profitable. Along tho
banks of the streams are large quanti
ties of flrst-clas3 alder. After the trees
are cut the logs can be floated down the
river to the bay at very small expense.
While I am In Portland during the next
few days I shall confer with furniture
manufacturers an'd learn what can be
done with that timber. We also have
largo quantities of cherry, the trees reach
ing as high as 0 feet and having a diam
eter of 12 inches. This is the finest kind
of white wood, and It can be had for the
taking.
"While I was at Albany and Corvallls
I mado It my business to find out what
interest is being taken in the Lewis and
Clark Exposition. I find that the people
are very desirous that the fair be made a
success and tha they favor a good appro
priation for that purpose. But the busi
ness men in those cities told me that
nothing Is being done among them In aid
of the fair. They are willing and ready
to do their share toward making the ex
position what it ought to be. It seems
to me that committees should be sent to
the Valley towns at once, so that the
business men may have a chance to say
what they will do, and show what inter,
est they have in the fair.
"Tho members of the Washington com
mission are waiting to see what site the
managers of the fair will select. As soon
as they have decided upon a location I
shall call the Washington commission to
gether and we will come down here, look
over the ground, and select a site for our
state building. The State of Washington
is Interested in the success of the fair and
will make a liberal appropriation for It.''
Colonel Parker will be in Portland un
til after the Fourth, and will try to meet
the members of the Oregon commission. -
