12 THE MORNING? OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, MAT 14, a&OS. IS PASTOR ORTHODOX? RUESTTOX RAISED ABOUT DR. ALEX ANDER BLACKBURX. First Baptist Churck Will Decide Toniglit Whether to Ask HU Regifjnatlon. Does Rev. Alexander Blackburn indorse Sunday, baseball, card playins, the theater and dancing parties? These are the ques tions -which will be asked that gentleman at the business meeting of the First Bap tist Church -which will occur this even ing at 8 o'clock -when he faces the charges which have been filed against him by his opponents in the congregation, and a vote is taken on the demand of what is known as the anti-Blackburn faction that the pastor tender his" resignation. The trouble -within the church has been brewing for several months and has been widely di&cussed through the newspapers and by the church people of the city. The difference originally grew out of Dr. Blackburn's second marriage -within -what was considered an unseemly short time after the death of his first -wife, an in terval of only 13 months elapsing "be tween the two events. The opponents of the pastor declare, however, that this is not the actuating motive in their demand that he resign but maintain that their charges are based on unorthodox views expressed by him in the matter of amuse ments and Sabbath observance! They inti mate further that his doctrinal views are unsound and that a heresy trial Is a pos sibility provided they do not obtain their ends at tonight's meeting. The matter -was brought to an issue when eeven members of the church, in good standing, signed a demand for a special business meeting to consider charges. This demand was presented at the regular prayer meeting last Thurs day evening, and the call made for to night. The congregation consists of S00 members, of -whom 200 are nonresidents. It is expected that practically all of the 600 resident members -will be present at the meeting and as the forces are about equally divided between the friends and opponents of the pastor, a stormy meet ing is promised. The antl-Blackburn forces insist that the charges have noth ing to do with that gentleman's private character, -which they deny attacking, but say they base their objections to him purely on -what they term his unsound views. A difference of opinion exists as to the manner of voting on the request for his resignation, the friends of Dr. Black burn insisting that the vote should be by the raising of hands or viva voce method, while the other faction maintains that a secret ballot should be taken. This pro posal will be the test of strength, and -will practically determine the action taken in reference to the enforced resignation. Friends of the pastor insist that the whole difficulty rests on his second mar riage and argue that the pastor displayed no undue haste in remarrying and that the congregation has no right to place him on the rack for his act. They main tain that the opposition Is Inspired by per sons bfnt on fomenting trouble In the church, and express confidence that the antls will be defeated and discredited In tonight's meeting. Dr. Blackburn came here four years ago. until a short time ago his pastorate -was highly successful. The church has had a remarkable growth In membership and Influence and on this account the present trouble Is greatly deplored. INCREASE OF RENTS. Your Uncle Timothy Offer Some Terse and Homely Philosophy. SILVERTON. May 4. CTo the Edltor.) By The Oregonlan of the 3d Inst. I per ceive that some of the laboring men of Portland are waking up to the effect the Lewis and Clark Fair will have In fact, is now having upon them in increasing the cost of living. Indeed, they nave passed some resolutions affording evidence that new light is breaking in upon their hitherto benighted minds. In their "whereases" it is stated that thej- sub scribed to the Fair with the understanding that it was to enhance the general pros perity; that the large disbursements and the increased industrial activity thereby would inure to their benefit as well as others and help them to make a living, but now they have come to a settled con clusion that the Fair Is to be a private graft; in fact, that the mere prospect of a Fair, before building has begun, has raised their rents and produced combina tions of capital that take from them without raising their wages to meet the increased demands. And hence they de clare themselves in favor of stopping the Fair short off and propose to Invoke the referendum in nullification. They further propose to extend their efforts to Con gress in dissuading that body from making appropriations to the Fair. One would suppose from the hearty Indignation of the laboring men that the effects of which they complain are something new and un usual, and that a strange and extravagant streak of selfishness had broken out among the Portland real estate owners and business men. Viewing it in this light, the attitude of the protestants is ludicrous in the extreme. Here they have been living all their days, face to face with the continuously operating causes and effects which they denounce and de plore, and which for the first time they have discovered In the working of the Fair programme. If Adam and Eve had been as slow in getting their eyes open, they could have eaten of the forbidden fruit to a good old age before discovering their need of fig leaves to hide their na kedness. A woman keeping a millinery store In a ground-floor room of the St. Charles Hotel was equally surprised at an Increase of rent wben the Morrison street bridge was built, and in her anger paw no remedy but to burn the bridge. Every bridge across the Willamette raised rents of contiguous property, and in a less degree of all real estate in the city. The railroads centering there raise rents; every improvement adds to them, and all unavoidably. Everything which adds to the facilities for making life healthful, progressive and pleasant In every country adds to the cost of living to those who pay rent. Granting that civilization must go on, there is no more possible evasion of such a consequence than there Is of Jumping over Niagara and turning back when helf way down. And why should there be? Is it not better to live in a city having clean streets,, pure water, rapid transit, electric lights and every appliance known to the moderns than among a collection of hovels "bordering muddy lanes, even though rents were nominal? There is but one way of lowering rents, anywhere, and I am not afraid of incurring the displeasure of property-owners by telling about it. even though I can guarantee the effectiveness of my plan, and that is to depopulate the town. All hands and the cook "git up and git." And when you have "got," the re ceivers of rent will get upon their knees, humble themselves in the dust and im plore you in the name of heaven to return. In their agony they will even give you a year's rent free. But you will not leave the city, and you will not cease to enlarge. Improve and beautify it. And when, as has often hap pened, a holocaust sweeps it from the face of the earth, you will cause It to rise again, more splendid and costly, and with more power to tax you than before. The property-owners of Oregon's metropolis are not unduly selfish, for they are fol lowing the same rule they have ever fol lowed; a rule, too. not different from every other place in the world, and therefore universal; a rule founded upon a funda mental, natural law "that human beings supply .themselves with the least exer tlon" In other words, that they charge all the traffic will bear. This is the key note of competitive society, and under conditions of equal freedom and equal op- portunlty produces neither Injustice nor dlstresa Is it not a little strange, or rather un fortunate, that rentpayers should be Igno rant of the laws of rent, the causes of rent and to who mrent properly belongs? The discontented laboring men of Port land have a grand opportunity before them this- year and next not to stop the Fair, but to avail themselves of it as an object-lesson, to become acquainted with the social problems -which must be solved by the American people before they can equally partake of the vast and ever-Increasing advantages of progressive indus trialism. When they have got their eyes open and understand the true and equit able relations of human beings In the so cial state, they -will no longer grumble at rent or that it rises -with civilization, but proceed to its distribution among all those who created it. T. W. DAVENPORT. STEAMER WOULD PAY. Xenalem-Tillaxaook Ruh. Often a Chance for Good Investment. "There is a good opportunity for some man of small capital to make a good In vestment and bring business to Portland by running a small steamer from here to Tillamook, Nehalem and Netarts." said F. L. Gunn, a sawmill man of Nehalem yesterday, to The Oregonlan. "There are four sawmills which would be running if there were any means of getting their lumber to market. This section has the largest and best timber supply In the state, so that these mills would run for years to come. "You can tell what we have to contend with when I tell you my own experience. I had loaded a vessel at Nehalem with about 200,000 feet of lumber and the Wheeler lumber Company had its tug Vosburg ready to take out the schooner Oakland. That company asked $100 to take the vessel out over the bar and would not touch it till the money was up In ad vance! It costs $12.50 a ton to get freight Into Nehalem. It goes from Astoria on the steamer Elmore to Tlllamock. then It goes back either on the same cr an other steamer to Garibaldi on Tillamook bar, 13 miles distant. It Is then hauled in a wagon nine miles along the beach to the mouth of the Nehalem river and then taken by a gasoline launch to Nehalem. "My Idea is to get a boat to run from Portland and market the lumber here. There Is a good wholesale trade, which can all be secured if there is a boat to bring out the lumber, for the trade will go where the lumber goes. The steamer could make weekly trips and ought to be kept busy, taking out 100.000 feet of lum ber a trip. A small steamer could get over the bar easily. There Is 12 to 14 feet of water on the Nehalem bar at high tide, about two feet more on Tilla mook bar, and about 11 feet on the Netarta bar and the channels are easy to navigate. I estimate that there Is ) $1000 to 51200 a month In freight going In j and the freight on the lumber coming out would be about the same. This would make a good living for a boat which would cost about $15,000. "There will te a good market for lumber in Portland for the next two years and we can sell far below the price charged by the Portland lumber trust. Our logs only cost about $4 per 1000 feet, and we can deliver rough lumber In Portland at $13 per 1000 feet, mill run. The logs there run a better percentage clear than here. If some person will guarantee to take the lumber at that price, we will undertake to give the steamer all it can carry and keep It busy. The people of Tillamook offer to put $2300 Into a boat and guaran tee two-thirds of the freight to start with. The time of arrival of the Elmore is so uncertain that I walked 30 miles over the trail from Nehalem to Seaside and took the train there; I am going back the same way." LIABILITY OF UNIONS. Incorporation Regarded as a Good Way to Get at Their Vitals. PORTLAND fir. Tmr 11 (Tn thu tor.1 The Habilltv of labor linfrms tn damages is a" grave question not yet set tled by the courts. The great coal strike commissioners say that the present con dition of the unions "does not present the most inviting inducements to the oper ators to enter Into eontrartnn.1 rlnMnnn with them." That is to say that It Is necessary that they should be responsi ble In law, to receh'e tho necessary recog nition from the employer. In 1S99, the case of Plant vs. Woods came before fh Snnrpmn fViitrt- nf M-m. sachusetts where an Injunction was asked for asrainst the threat of thr ttnlnnc tn strike, In case certain nonunion men were not aiscnargea, or induced oy their em ployers to become union men. The court said In the case on trial, "that there was present a motive maliciously to In jure another person. Such acts are with out Justification, and therefore are ma licious and unlawful, and the conspiracy thus to force the plaintiffs was unlaw- iui. aucn conuuet is intolerable and In consistent With the snlrit nf mir Imi " This view tof the court was dissented from by Justice a W. Holmes, but the doctrine of the court was reaffirmed in 1901 In the case of Moran vs. Tinnnhv the court declaring "We cannot admit a doubt that maliciously and without Justi fiable cause to Induce a third person to ena nis employment of the plaintiff, whether the inducement be false slan ders or succcsslul persuasion, is an ac tionable tort." Such Is the law of Massachusetts. Thus far there Is no decided unanimity of the courts in other states, but Is it not logical to presume that its reasonahlpriPM -nHii commend It to final adoption? resident Roosevelt's commission rec ommended "that the state and Federal Governments provide machinery for mak ing compulsory investigation (not arbi tration) of difficulties arising between worklngmen and their employers." By this means the dcodIo mlcht hrnmft ac quainted with the facts, and public opin ion Drougnt to bear on the contestants, for the public Is not only the sufferer It is tne arbiter to which all must yield. But before the enactment of such laws, have the people at their command ade quate means to get at the facts and pass sentence? Some such plan as recommended by the Board of Trade mlr-ht w or there might be formed to select an executive committee of five xo investigate and report. Why should this contest go on.

CoIb'bb in Memory ot Soldiers Xearly Finished aad Fan is Will Be Re paired to Pay All Cost. Contractor Otto Schumann has the. sol diers monument in Lone Fir cemetery, which will be dedicated Memorial day, well advanced, as far as .the stonework is con cerned. The foundation and granite steps leading up to the base of the main shaft are completed, and the shaft will soon be placed in position. As far as the work has gone, those who have seen it siy that the monument will be one of the most Im posing and attractive in the Northwest. Hundreds of people who have -visited the Park block, where it is being built, and the character of the plan and work com mand the highest praise. The very fact that the memorial will be severely plain, not marred by gingerbread trimmings, seems to attract more attention tharf any thing else. The wholo plan is entirely shorn of -anything that might be regard ed as vulgar display. The cost of the present contract, which includes all the stonework up to the metal figure on the shaft, will be $1753. The orig inal contract for the stonework was $1550, but four granite pedestals were added to the four comers, which added $200 to the original cost. It will cost about $1500 more to complete the monument according to the original plans. A metal figure of a soldier with a flag has teen molded spe cially for this memorial by an Eastern firm, which will ccst about $700. Then there will be tho metal Inscriptions and insignia of the veterans of the four wars which the shaft represents. These will ccst abect $&) more, and there will bo somo ether expenses. It is desired to have the monument surrounded by a chain bar ricade, attached to granite columns, for its proper protection. The sum of JloQO will not suffice to pay all the cost, and the association hopes to raise a considerable portion of this amount Memorial day. or soon thereafter. At that time the great crowd can see Just what has been accomplished In one year by the Monument Association. It Is a little over one year since the association was organized, and yet at the coming Memor ial day three-fourths of the work will be completed and paid for. Considering the time, the association Is well satisfied, and hopes to clean up the whole business as soon as possible, but in any event will not cease its labors until the monument Is fully completed. While the G. A. R. of Portland has aecn Instrumental In start ing this monument, It Is for the memory' of tho Spanb.h-Amerlcan, Civil. Mexican and Indian War veterans, and all are alike Interested in Its completion. Make Encampment Educational. The 17th annual encampment of the Pleasant Home G. A.

Under certain conditions white bread," ootatoes and all starchy food fails to dl rest and bowel troubles and appendicitis are likely to follow unless the food is changed. After consulting five physicians, the last three of whom declared that an operation for appendicitis was the only way to save her life, a young lady of Bloomlngton, Ind., recovered her health entirely with no other aid than Grape-Nuts, the scientific predlgested cereal food. She says: "Three years ago I had an at tack of what my family physician pro- nounced congestion of the bowels and stomach. "He treated me for some time, but I continued to grow weaker, constantly sub ject to tho same attacks. I was com nelled to give up my studies at college. In the meantime I consulted another physician. Finally I went to a specialist who pronounced it catarrn oi tne stom ach and acute appendicitis. I was under his care for about three weeks when I had another attack and my parents called other physicians, who claimed that noth ing but the removal of the appendix would save my life. "My parents refused to permit this and I was left a total wreck, weak, nervous, unable to eat. It was then that they tried Grape-Nuts, feeding me a teaspoon ful three times a day. Upon this food alone I Improved from the start to the great wonder of my family- For two months I ate nothing but Grape-Nuts and drank beef tea. Since that time (which was more than a year ago) I have not had the slightest illness and I am now strong and able to study again. I know that I owe my restored health to Grape Nuts and I now eat It constantly." Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. In this case as In most cases of ap pendicitis the trouble started with In flammation of the bowels resulting from the use of pasty, starchy foods that were undigested in the stomach and went Into the intestines in an undigested condition, fermenting there and startlhg disease. Too much white bread will do this. Re lief and final cure came when the im proper food was left off and Grape-Nuts, (in which the "starches have been trans formed into grape sugar by a predigesting process), was used. Although all of the rebuilding elements are there In Grape 'Nuts the food Is so pure that the most delicate stomach relishes and digests It. g""zr y (I Ii8m CiftTmxqct ffSl -Lrl CM KCHM IV, JT a Never mind the confusion in the old store, the new prices will pay you to come and buy.
