The Home Training Association spent the greater part of one of Its most Interesting meetings yesterday In listening to Mrs. William W. Payne's reading of a chapter from "'Hints on Child Training." by Hen ry Clay Trumbull, besides extracts from editorials in the Sunday School Times, these having been called forth by letters of Inquiry from mothers as to the best way in which to control children. Some of the moat Important points brought out in Mrs. Payne's reading were that a child's will should be trained, rather than broken; that the child should never ' be punished without first clearly understand ing why the punishment is being Inflicted, and that it must be taught the difference between right and wrong, being given a choice between these, instead of boing compelled to do a thing blindly In one way. When a. child knows punishment will follow that which is wrong, it will be apt to chooso the right, but all the good effects of training1 are lost if the child's sense of justice is wronged by punishment - where it has to suffer with out cause, or where the mother is out of temper. The association Is planning to hold a rally at the end of this month, probably at the Calvary Presbyterian Church. Mission at St. Mart's Church. Rev. P. J. Mulconry. S. J., and Rev. Thomas C.

"Bonnie Brier Bush" Teaches Great Moral Lesson. All sermons are not preached from tho pulpit. Some- of the most convincing and eloquent are preachments In theaters. When a play teaches a groat moral les son it accomplishes moro beneficial re sults than a minister could do in his church. This is because many people who attend theaters never enter a church, and there Is authority for the saying, "There is more joy In Heaven over one sinner doing penanco than over 39 just ones who need no penance." Of all the plays on the stage there is not one which Is such a powerful, impressive and convinc ing sermon on charity, patience and hu mility as "The Bonnie Brier Bush." which James H. Stoddart brings to the Marquam Grand next week. This actor, the dean of the American stage, and his soul-lifting drama, is one of the few that have been singled out by The Oregonian for editorial indorsement. Not only The Ore gonlon, but every leading paper In this country and every leading clergyman, has attested tho beauty of the play as a ser mon and the artistic portraiture of Mr. Stoddart. "Everyman" was a sermon, but "Tho Bonnie Brier Brush" is even a strongor one, for it does not deal with personified abstract qualities, 'since it goes straight to the heart and head. Tho most convincing lessons have been set forth In parables, and "The Bonnie Brier .tyush" is a latter-day parable containing truths which reach the public through Iho lovable Mr. Stoddart instead of the elo quence of an ordained minister.

Fifty I ate mothers, with the welfare or their children at heart, visited Chief of Police Charles H. Hunt, at his office in the police station, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and demanded that bo take im mediate steps for the removal of the dis reputable house conducted by one Essie Watkins, at 351 Stark street, directly opposite the entrance to the Portland Public Library. While it Is whispered that the ladles were members of a sort of auxiliary to the Municipal League, they declared yes terday that they took their stand merely as mothers who were considering the future of their sons and daughters. Neither Chief Hunt nor any of the Po lice Denartment knew of tho impending visit, and when the B0 ladles walked through the swinging doors at tne cenirai station, the desk men and clerks looked up in awed astonishment. The women who composed the party were not long, however. In maldng the purpose of their visit known. They crowded into the prin cipal room of the station, and tne sdokcs men asked the captain In charge whether they could see Chief Hunt Chief Hunt was notified that there were half a hundred ladles outside who desired to see him .and the Chief dismissed an officer with whom he was in consultation, opened the door of his private office and stepped forth smilingly to greet his vis itors. "My private office is small." said tho Chief, "but I shall be glad if as many of you as possible enter." About 25 of the ladies crowded Into the Chiefs private room, and the remainder stood In tho outer apartment, as near as possible to the door. Make Demand for Vtemedy. The Chief then asked his visitors what he could do to please them. He was Im mediately told. "Thero Is a house of ill-fame at Stark street, directly across the street from the entrance to tho Public Library," said one of the visitors. We come to you as mothers with tho welfare of our chil dren at heart. We do not dcslro to have those children looking a houso of this character in the face every time they havo to enter or como out of the library, where they must -go occasionally. We ask you to take immediate steps to havo this place closed. It is necessary for the protection of our children." Chief Hunt assured the women in the party that the Watkins woman who op erates the house had been already ordered to move, and that he would sco she did so at the earliest possible moment. Tho ladles then took their departure, after Tvhich Chief Hunt ordered an officer to visit the house in question and urge com pliance with the orders of the Police De partment. Tho Watkins woman Is the same one who was indicted for operating a slot machine, and who testified during her trial that Councilman Zimmerman had told her It would bo all right. Tho premises sho occupies Is owned by Dr. A. J. Giesy, who also dosires the tenant to move. Sheriff Word has also become in terested in tho matter, and it is under stood that unless the place is closed through the action of the Police Depart ment he will close It himself. The place is as notorious as any in the North End and has been a source of much trouble to the Police Department. Will Close Place Up. "The ladies who visited me have a right to protest," said Chief Hunt last night. "I have ordered Miss Watkins to close her resort, and I will sec that my orders aro obeyed. The Police Department does not intend to tolerate the place any longer. These places, in the midst of tho busy part of our city, must closo and re main closed."
