Civic Unrighteousness
Is All Their Fault
SO DECLARES MR. FLECEL
Criminal Negligence on Their
Part Leads to Corruption.
HOW TO CURE CORRUPTION
Turn Out to Political Ward Meet
ings, He Says, and Turn
Down the Heelers
and Bums.
That conditions of civic corruption In
Portland are duo to the criminal negli
gence of Christian citizens, who stay at
nomc and pormlt thieves and robbers to
run the Government, is the assertion of
Councilman A. F. Flegel. It was made
during the course of an address delivered
fcy the Councilman before the Sunday
Club of the Y. M. C. A. esterday after
noon. "Civic Unrighteousness" -was the
subject chosen by Mr. Flegel, and under
this head he took occasion to point to
the gambling houses, permitted to run by
the City Government and given protection
for monetary remuneration. He pointed
to other evils that are permitted to exist,
and attributed their existence to the fail
lire of Christian citizens to do their duty
at the proper time. The speaker urged
that those who desire a good government
-fulfill their obligations to their city and
iellowmen by doing their duty at the
ward meetings, the conventions, and at
the polls. This, he declared, is the only
method by which a reform can be secured.
JUr. Flogel admitted that he who would
nave a better government would have to
go out and rub shoulders with the saloon
man. gambler and "bum" in the ward
-meeting and in every political gathering,
but, he Insisted that, however displeas
ing such association might be, it was the
sacred duty of the Christian citizen to
do this much for himself and his com
munity. The speaker made particular reference
to the gambling situation in the "city and
assorted that, were there six men in the
Council who would stand up for right
eousness, no such combination would ex
ist between the city and the gamblers
whereby they are allowed to rob people,
And have police protection while they are
.doing It.
An unusually large audience of men
listened to the address and gave frequent
applause. The address in brief was as
follows:
"Two years ago I became the fortu
nate purchaser r a little book called
American Ideals. After reading that
book I decided that I had not been living
up to my own Ideals of citizenship. I
hadn't neglected to kick and And fault,
but I had neglected to do my full duty as
a citizen.
Not a Savory Subject.
"Civic unrighteousness isn't a very
eavory subject, but I thought that if I
could point out to jou your duty that
you havo been outrageously neglecting, I
might accomplish a little good.
"Civic unrighteousness doesn't mean
that you are a saloon-keeper, the pro
prietor of a brothel, a confidence man, a
thold-up or that sort of person. It means
the wrong doing of officials. It may take
the form as in Minneapolis, where the
tPOlIoc formed a combination with the con
fidence men and bunco steerers, giving
them protection and reaping a reward for
it. Or it may assume another form as in
ist. Louis, where wealth secured conces
slons by high prices to Councilmen.
"It may assume another and peculiar
form, as in Portland, where the city offi
cials ontcr into a combination with gam
blers and allow them to rob citizens or,
3-athcr, run gambling houses, if you pre
ler that expression In consideration of
lunds paid into the City Government. For
this police protection is given, with the
Etipulatlon that gamblers from other cit
ies arc not to be allowed to come in and
get a share of the business that is ac
corded the Portland gamblers. All this
is civic unrighteousness.
"But what are you going to do about
it? Suppose you all think alike on the
matter and decide to do all in your power
to change matters? "What are you going
to do about it? You will probably do as
he Municipal League does talk, talk,
talk, and talk some more. Or you may
do as the Ministerial Association doesr
write. talk, write, talk and keep writing
And talking, but accomplish nothing.
"There is a way that good can be ac
complished. My notion is that the Chrls-
'tlan citizen is the highest type of citi
zenship. Yet there is no class that neg
lects its duties to the city so outrageously
as this one does. Probably the Christian
citizens have good business Interests and
they think that when they have properly
cared for this they nave done all that is
required of them. They forget that they
owe something to their country and their
.government.
Must Be Energetic and Honest.
"You cannot effect a reform, by simply
-putting honest men Into office. He .must
"be an honest man, and he must have
effectiveness energy and ability. These
Qualifications are necessary and if the
Christian people do not put men possess
4ng these qualifications into office they
will bo secured from somewhere else.
"The trouble is that when you go to
vote, the majority of the Christian citi
zens vote with the bunco steerer, con
fluence men, saloonkeepers and that class.
You all vote for the same ticket and the
some men. or at least the majority does,
as is evidenced by the results of elections.
When voting time comes it is too late
to effect a reform.
"The time is soon coming in this
county when every man should be pres
ent, ready to do his duty to his city and
state. That time is the time for holding
the ward meetings to select men for
the convention. The Christian people
should be there and take part in these
meetings. If you do not go, then the
bums, saloon men, gamblers, prostitutes,
pimps and their like will control the
meeting. If you will pack the halls and
do you duty, these people will not con
trol the political destinies of the city.
But if you stay at home on that night,
you are lost for another two years.
You will havo allowed the opportunity
to do good to slip by you. I desire to
urge upon you men, who have the right
to do it, the necessity for your being in
attendance upon these meetings and do
ing your duty. Your first step is to see
that good men go on the primary tickets.
If you do this, you will find that an
other ticket of men not so good will
be In the field, and It will then necessi
tate your going to the primary polls
and upholding your ticket, as is your
duty. I know it is hard to get out to
these meetings for you must rub against
undesirable people the saloon man, the
keeper of a house of prostitution and the
bum. but you owe it to yourself and
your community.
Then you must look to the county con
vention that names the men that must
be votea for. You should exert yourself
to see that your delegates do what 13
right. You should prop up your good
men, for many of them have weak back
bones. When you have done this, elect
a man to office who will enforce the
laws, or at least whom you think will
enforce them. If you find that he does,
then keep him In the office, but If he
fails, then turn him out and try some
one else. But let me say, that If you
wait until election day to do this, it
will be too late.
"I fear we spend too much time on
the head of our tickets and pay too
little attention to the tail of It. "We are
too deeply interested in the President,
Governor or Mayor and not enough so
in the Councilmen, who come In close
contact with us daily. I urge you to
pay -attention to the men you select for
Councilmen, for it is they who come into
close contact with you.
"I tell you that the Mayor of this
city cannot do anything very wrong if
there are six Councilmen who will stand
for the right. I tell you that this deal
with the gamblers could not go on if
there were six men in the Council against
it, for the others would be afraid to
allow such conditions to exist.
"If you get three good men in the
Council at the next city election nothing
very serious will happen, for a small
minority can have a large influence for
good.
"Let me apprehend that each man will
do all he can to get the best man possi
ble to vote for. We cannot sing civic

gotten by the Sunday schools or churches.
You must do, and in doing, do the right
thing.
"I am forced to say that the present
conditions here are due to the criminal
negligence of Christian people. They
have stayed at home and permitted
thieves and robbers to run the govern
ment." ITS YEAELY APPEAL.
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society Asks for
Thanksgiving Donations.
The Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, with
other charitable organizations, appeals to
its friends and supportera for donations
this Thanksgiving. This society since its
organization in June, 18S5, has received
and cared for 2246 children. During the
last fiscal year it has cared for 419 chil
dren 18G of this number are entirely new
cases. The motto of this society is: "It
is wiser and less expensive to save chil
dren than to punish criminals," and in
order to keep dependent children from
becoming delinquent, its alms are to res
cue homeless, neglected or abused chil
dren In Oregon, to receive Juvenile of
fenders who are in danger of being sent to
a penal institution, and to provide for
them until suitable homes or, employment
are found, and then continue a sys
tematic attention to their condition and
treatment. No boy or girl in distress is
refused admission to the Becelvlng Home
of this society. Children who have run
away from home, or on their way to rela
tives in some distant state, or who are
picked up by the police, being without
protection, are received under the shelter
ing wing of this institution without ques
tion, and are clothed and cared for until
such time as relatives or friends can be
communicated with.
Upwards of 400 children are now placed
in family homes under the surveillance of
the society, and it requires the services of
a paid visitor to be on the road the en
tire time, in order to keep track of these
children in foster homes, and to see that
they are accorded the treatment agreed
upon.
The expense of maintaining such an In
stitution is necessarily high. It derives Its
support from state and county aid, and
also from the voluntary gifts' of the
charitable people of the state, and seldom
comes before the public asking aid. But
at Thanksgiving the management makes
every effort in its power to secure all do
nations possible. Those desiring to do
nate anything, no matter how small, will
please notify Superintendent Cardner at
the Receiving Home, either by letter or
telephone. East 5, wnen such donation
will be promptly called for, or they can
be left at the office of the City Board of
Charities, 305 Jefferson street, at the cor
ner of Fifth. Any person who may desire
a copy of the eighteenth annual report of
the society can have it mailed to them on
application.
Takes Time to Be a Christian.
Yesterday morning at St. David's Epis
copal Church, East Twelfth and Belmont
streets, Rev. George B. Van Waters de
livered an able sermon on a dally living
of the Christian life. He sought to con
vey the general idea that people do not
become Christians In one day, but only
through long years of dally effort. The
process was a conflict. Ordinarily the
child was sent to Sunday school and
church and instructed In spiritual knowl
edge, growing in grace and wisdom year
by year. Continuing in this vein. Rev.
Mr. Van Waters said:
"If man does not Increase in grace and
love of God, he Is going backwards and
violating God's law. What should man
give in exchange for his soul? A good
clergyman is a student of tho soul and Its
needs and Christ was . the greatest we
have ever known. There Is no suchthlng
as an ending for the soul. Its time Is
eternity. So Jesus Christ came on earth
to teach man of the soul. Its power, its
growth and its eternity. Because of this
wonderful soul we are more akin to God
than to the brute."

School Teachers File Protest
Against Paying Penalty,
DIDNT ATTEND INSTITUTE
Board of Directors Deducted $5 From
Each Pedagogue's Pay and Some
of Them Refuse to Accept
Their Checks.
"When they drew their pay on Saturday
most of the 70 schoolteachers who were
fined 55 each for not attending the Teach
ers' Institute last June, made no open
objection, but one of the principals, M. L.
Pratt, of the Williams-Avenue School, de
clined to accept his check, and there may
be trouble on account of this.
Principal Pratt, who declined to sign the
payroll, seems to feel confident that the

matter -will yet right Itself. He is not the
only one who refused to stand for the de
duction of J5 from his regular pay, and a
goodly percentage of the 70 teachers who
did not attend the Institute feel much ag
grieved. "I do not blame the board," said Mr.
Pratt. "It's the law that Is causing the
trouble, and I think it should be repealed.
I have strong hopes that they will pay
all these teachers who did not sign the
roll at any rate, we are going to test the
case. To be sure, if these 70 teachers had
attended and each saved the district $5, It
would have amounted to a goodly sum,
but as they didn't, it is not Just right to
save it now by deductions from their
salaries."
The matter was discussed by some of
tho interested ones when they were paid
on . Saturday. The teachers were under
the Impression that they were required by
the school law to attend the Institute, but
thought there was no provision in the law
for fining them for not doing so. While
they did not know who to blame for not
receiving the ?5, they would have received
had they attended the institute, they were
of the opinion that someone had blundered
and exceeded his authority.
A member of the School Board, when
asked about this, said that those who
found fault because they did not receive
tho ?o did not understand the situation.
"Tho law provides that teachers attend
ing the institute shall receive $5 from the
county school fund. If they fall to at
tend, the School Board does not receive
the ?5i from the county, and, therefore,
cannot give it to them. There is nothing
In the nature of a fine connected with
tho matter. The teachers who failed to
attend the Institute did not 'earn the 15,
and the county did not pay it. Therefore,
they did not receive it, and they have no
reason to blame the School Directors or
anyone else except themselves."
A glance over the section of the school
law governing the apportionment of the
county school fund by the County Super
intendent seems to bear out this state
ment. The section provides that:
In October tho County Superintendent shall
apportion to each district $5 for each teacher
emploj ed In such district during the 12 months
immediately preceding such apportionment who
has attended for 10 hours at least 'an annual
Institute or State Teachers' Association during
the 12 months immediately preceding tha time
of making such apportionment. The evidence
that he shall accept of such attendance shall
be a certificate nroperly signed by tho secre
tary of such institute or association, or a
certified copy thereof. It Is further made the
duty of such teachers to file with the Cleric
of such district tho certificate or copy thereof,
as proUded, and it shall be the duty of tho
Clerk to file said certificate or copy thereof
with the School Superintendent of his county.
County Superintendent Robinson has 2S6
such certificates, or "certified copies
thereof," on file In his ofilce, and each of
tho 2SG teachers named in these certifi
cates has received $5, apportioned to
those attending the Institute. There ap
pears to be no provision in the law for
those who did not attend being paid the J5.
' MANAGER IS WROTHY.
Says Theatrical Pirates Stole "Ten
nessee's Pardner" From Him.
Arthur C. Alston, proprietor of "At the
Old Cross Roads" and "Tennessee's Pard
ner," recently played at Cordrays Thea
ter, was in an excited frame of mind last
night because he discovered tEat the Mar
guerite Fisher company played "Tennes
see's Pardner" the week before last at
Albany, Or., without his permission, un
der the title of "A Southern Girl." A.
lawsuit may be the result.
Mr. Alston has toured "Tennessee's
Pardner" for four successive seasons, and
for the past two years ho has let it out to
stock companies, many companies, includ
ing the Alcazar, San Francisco having
played the piece. This year he Is using
it himself in this city, Seattle and Los
Angeles, and he has leased the Pacific
Coast rights for repertoire use to Thomas
F. Weldeman, and to Clara Mathes, for
the Northwest Territory. To cap the cli
max, several of the Marguerite Fisher
company were passed into Cordray's The
ater Sunday afternoon, a week ago, to
seo "Tennessee's Pardner," their evident
intention being to familiarize themselves
better with the play and business.
Manager Alston said last night: "I be
lieve tho Marguerite Fisher people are
billed to play 'Caprice at Oregon City
Monday night. I havo wired Harrison
Grey Fiske, husband of Minnie Maddern
Fiske, notifying him of this, as he still, I
believe, owns the play."
MXST M0YET0R SALOON.
City Board of Charities Finds New
Location.
The City Board of Charities will, in a
few days, remove from the quarters at
213 Fourth, street, which they have occu
pied for nearly 14 years, as the room has
been leased at a larger rental to the sa
loon man next door. Secretary Walpole
has secured new quarters at 305 Jefferson
street, opposite the City Hall, which are
about ready for occupation, and which
will be more commodious and comfortable.
The work of the Board of Charities has
Increased considerably since Mr. Walpole
took charge, over 13 years ago. The car
ing for men out of work is, however, not
what It was during the hard times, espe
cially in the v inter of 1S93-4, when it was
not uncommon to have applications for
relief from 200 to 250 per day, who had to
be given meals and shelter until they
could be provided with work. Now all
who want work can find it, and in conse
quence there are few of the tramp element
here now.
The system Introduced by the board of
requiring labor from all able-bodied people
In return for relief has been adopted by
the city and county authorities. The city
provides a rockplle, and the county puts
the men at work on the roads, and this
has a tendency to keep hobos away.
Families, destitute and needy, are fur
nished with temporary relief In case of
disablement of the head thereof by accl(
dent, when prompt assistance Is necessary,
but all persons relieved are put in the way
of earning a living as soon as possible.
In regard to the board having to move.
Secretary Walpole attributes no blame to
the saloon man who has leased the place.
His room was curtailed by the removal of
an "L" owing to the erection of two stores
on the property, and he was .obliged to
have more space, and the owner of the
property increased the rent and forced
him to lease both rooms.
Secretary Walpole has a large number
of cards and circulars printed to,d!strIbute
giving notice of the change in location of
the room of the Board of Charities. The
circulars contain the following Instructions
in regard to "How Best to Help the
Needy":
Report to us cases of need, and thereby se
cure prompt relief.
GlTe to the support ol our work a small
portion of tho money you havo been giving to

alms, as Impostors will not come to us.
Persons begging on the etreet, or from door
to door, are, with rare exceptions, professional
beggars.
By using our methods you will help the de

WHAT IS TITKAHY?
Musical Experts Disagree as to Char
acter of His Voice.
It has been a long time since grand
opera was heard in Portland, and no
doubt the opportunity offered by Manager
George L. Baker at the grand operatic
concert he announces for Friday night
at the Empire Theater will be largely
taken advantage of. It will serve to
Introduce Hcrr Vilmos Titkary in his
role of an operatic tenor. When Titkary
recently sang In vaudeville, ne sang sev
eral ballads in English under the mis
taken Impression that this was the sort
of music his audiences wished, although
he had not been trained in this kind
of singing. But to hear Titkary in grand
opera is to hear him where he belongs.
If you have only heard Titkary in vaude
ville you have not heard him at his
best, if at all. Titkary is an operatic
tenor, but what sort of a tenor is he?
Musical experts dispute as to this. Some
say he is a first or lyric tenor, and
others assert with equal confidence that
he Is really a tenor robusto. To settle
this Important point he must be heard
in operatic music at Friday evening's
Concert. To hcaV Titkary alone singing
his part in the famous "Lucia" sextet,
by Donizetti, Is worth the price of ad
mission in itself.
Millard O. Lownsdale is an Oregon
basso who has been too rarely heard
during the past three years, and it is
good news to his many friends who want
to hear his glorious voice once again
that ho has consented to sing at this
concert. The other singers are: Mrs.
Walter Reed, contralto; Miss Agnes
Watt, coloratura soprano, and N. C. Zan,
baritone. Edgar E. Coursen will be tho
accompanist. The programme is an ex
cellent and representative one, consisting
of selections from the most famous grand
operas In the world. Italian operatic
selections In all their original beauty
will be heard, with all the trills written
by the composers, and which are too
often omitted In these latter days of
dramatic singing. It is in this old Italian
school of singing that Herr Titkary and
Miss Agnes Watt will shine. The con
cert promises to be a society event. The
sale of tickets commences at the Empire
Theater Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock.
POUND DROWNED IN RIVER.

gation. The floater was found by tho
City Marshal and Elos Nilsson, of St
Johns. It had evidently been in tho
