THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, MONDAT, MARCH 13, 1905. SCORES THE CHIEF Dr. Brougher Says Hunt Is a ' Hypocrite. subscripUons -what had been secured out side the church. Dr. Short was at length enabled to announce that $30 had been raised, leaving about $30 yet to raise. .DENOUNCES CITY OFFICIALS .Says -Mayor and Counciimen Are Not Christians and That People Should Pray for Their Conversion , Suggests Sure Remedies. "Chief of Police Hunt is a hypocrite. He has rone completely over to the evil ele ment of the city. He knows that the sa loons are open after hours or he is in competent to fill the responsible position of Chief of Police." These are some of .the scathing denunciations made by Dr. J.. Whitcomb Brougher In a sermon at ' the White Temple last night before a rep resentative audience that filled nearly every seat in the large auditorium. The Mayor, the majority of the City Council and other public officials also i-a me in for a scoring during the sermon, .and a plea was made for a Good Citizens' Club that would purge the city of the lawless element and lift Portland to a higher plane of civil life. Dr. Brougher suggested that the meet ings of the City Council open and close with prayer and that the souls of the Counciimen be sought. He would have "the city turned from a veritable hell to a city of heaven." DiC Broughers subject was, "Ought Our City Officials to Be Christians?" with Fome introductory remarks on "Who Is the 'Chief Sinner?" among the municipal officials. Ho based his sermon on the story of how the treasurer of Can dace. Queen of Ethiopia, was saved. Among other things, he said: Officials Are Amusing'. Jt -would Te amusing, If it were not so serious, to watch some of our city officials riodse the responsibility lor lawlessness and crime la Portland. Everybody knows, who lias taken one sight to investigate the Ques tion, that many of the saloons keep open alter hours and break the laws passed to control them, in many other ways. I do not hesitate to eay that Chief of Police Hunt either knows these facts, or else he Is ab solutely incompetent to fill his position. The Mayor, the Chief of Police, and all that ring- have cone completely over to tho lawless element In this city. In every moral question presented for decision to the Mayor, the Chief, and the majority of the City Council, they have always been on the im moral side of the question. , Police Can Act If They Would. If. Sheriff Word can close up the cambllnB houses, clean out the Paris House, and In so far as comes under his Jurisdiction, see that J m uwci imvs are enxorcea, men mayor Williams and the Chief of Police could do it also if they wanted to. Anyone who has followed the evidence given before the Po lice Commission could easily see that cer tain classes of criminals were favored by the Chief of Police, and that the Police Commission was In sympathy with him. I heard of a man once who was so cross eyed that every time he wept the tears ran down his back. It would seem that Chief Hunt Is afflicted this way. He seems to be able to look straight at a thing and never see It. One could have some respect for a man who would come right out and take his stand for the devil and the forces of evil In our city and acknowledge that he did not intend to enforce the laws against saloons and gamblers and combina tion houses. But when a man will try to de ceive the community and play the hypocrite by pretending to want to enforce laws when everybody who knows anything at all knows that he does not Intend to do it. Is enough to disgust any man who despises a hypocrite. The more I think about it. the more righteously indignant do I get. It makes me think of the drunkard that Dr. Talmsge found sitting on his Tabernacle steps. Dr. Talmage spoke to him and asked him what ho was doing there. Tho man replied, "Well, I was thinking about Join ing your church, but the more I think about It the sicker I get." And the more I think of men, standing as our representatives, in a city whore tbe morally upright people are In the majority, and then selling us out to the divekeeper, the gambler, and the reprobate. It surely is enough to make one sick. Makes Two Suggestions. But someone may ask: "What are you go ing to do v about it?" I have at least two ruggestlons to make. A city election is to take place In June. We ought to get ready immediately to nominate and elect men to ofnee whose characters and whose public records will make It absolutely certain that they will see that the wishes of the people who elect them are carried out and the laws enforced. We ought to organize a Good Citizenship Club in every district of our city, enroll every man who loves de cency and stands for law and order, and get him to pledge himself to vote only for Mich men as believe In having a dean and law abiding city. The Municipal League ought to take tills matter in hand im mediately, and prepare for uch an organ ization. Lot us not be found napping and wait until It is too late, but let the de cent people act at once and be up and doing. In the next place: Pray for City Officials. We are planning for a great revival. I puggest that In our praying and prepara tion for personal work that wo begin to pray for the conversion of the majority of Mr'cJty officials. If they could bo converted to love decency and purity and rlgbteout 3tts. more than they love meanness and money, then we might expect to see our laws enforced. In Wales the population of certain towns, including the officials, has nearly all been converted. It Is stated that for the sir month preceding the beginning of the re vival the number of people summoned to the Bridgend Police Court from the district numbered -700, but since the revival It ha not averaged two a week. In many towns all the saloon-keepers have gone out of business hecause the people have been converted or the saloonkeepers themselves have been saved, and a saloon has no place in a Christian community. In a town in New Jersey re cently, a great revival took place, and most of the city officials were converted. The City Council was opened and closed with prayer, and the city fathers began to study how they might pass and enforce laws so m to make it as easy as possible for peo ple to do right. City Official Not Christians. I Miggest therefore, that we seek the con version c the majority of our city official, who are not now Christians. So long as the majority of them like a wide open town. Just so long will they be willing for the lawless element to turn our fair city into a veritable holl on earth and make It a shame and a disgrace to all decent minded, purity-loving people. If wo could got our officials converted then they would peek to turn the city into a heaven, where law and love, purity and truth should be supreme, and all those who lovo the low and the vilo would go to some more con genial place to seek a home. Sometimes people have an Idea that city officials have no ' souls, but they are men like ourselvca and can be reached by the gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as other people. Helps Raise Church Debt. Dr. F. Burgette Short, pastor of the Tlrst Methodist Church, is rapidly earning a reputation as a debt raiser, and his lat est feat, la .conjunction with Rev. G. EL Jackson, is the raising of 5750 toward paying the debt on the ZIon African sMothodist Episcopal Church, Thirteenth and Main streets, last night. There was a debt of $1300 secured on a mortgage on Iho building, and Dr. Short, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, pastor of Tcmplo Beth Israel, and other ministers Interested themselves iu raising subscriptions. Last night, after Dr. Short had taken part in six different wirvlccs la connection with his .own church, he went about 10 o'clock to Zion Church and gave a rousing address. Along with Rev. Mr. Jackson, Dr. Short went down the aisles of the church and not ured personal subscriptions from the church members present Adding to thjse AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. "PAWTUCKET" THIS EVENING Lawrence D'Orsay to Present Charm ing Society Comedy at Marquam. The clever English comedian. Lawrance D'Orsay, supported by the same excellent cast of players which made such a phc nominal success in ?iew York City, will begin an engagement of three nights with a special matinee Wednesday at the Marquam Grand Theater this even ing, at 8:15 o'clock. This will afford Portland theater-goers an opportunity of seeing one of the best attractions that the Coast has had this season. The San Francisco Press pronounced It "The Best." Carriages at 1050 o'clock. "JOAN OF ARC." Famous Historical and Religious Play to Open at Columbia Tonight. Opening tonight, and all this week, with matinee Saturday and Sunday, the Colum bia Stock Company will give a grand pro duction of "Joan of Arc," one of the great religious plays of the age, with Cathrino Countlss in the role of the Inspired maid of Orleans. It may Interest those who are seeing Miss Countlss as Joan of Arc, and hold ing their breath while she descends from the lofty tower on a frail rope, hand over band, to know that that feat of Joanne d'Arc is probably authentic. According to late records, in August. 1430, three months after the Duke of Burgundy's forces had captured her. May 24. at Com pel gne, after having made one almost suc cessful attempt to escape by eluding her jailer and locking hjm up in her room, she was removed to the strong castle of Beaurevoir. Hero she was shut up in a tower 60 feet high. About three or four months after this removal, she made a second attempt to escape. She tore up her bedding, made a rope, and at night she lowered herself just as Miss Countlss does. The rope broke and she felL She was badly bruised, and was unconscious for three days after this. It may be the more interesting to know that Miss Coun tlss' feat is historical. Seats are now on sale for the entire week, and the advance sales are heavy. "Virginian" Seats Tomorrow. Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, at 10 o'clock, the advance .sale of seats will open for "The Virginian," which comes to the Marquam Grand Theater next Thurs day and Friday nights, March 16 and 17, with the last performance Saturday mat inee, March 18. AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS The Grand Theater. The hill at the Grand this week attains the highest plane yet achieved by the management. It is a 50-cent programme. Heading the list is the Tetsuwari Jap anese Troupe of Royal Acrobats. Sam Kick! makes a slide from the roof to the stage of the theater that is the most thrilling feat on record. People hold their breath until the deed is done. The other features are Francesca Redding Company; De Coe. the great balancer; the Desmond Trio in a farce; Carless, the character impersonator; Alf Bonner and the Grandiscope. Although there will be 20-cent scats, there are left enough 10-cent seats to accommodate all. At the Star Today. The new bill at the Star starts today at 3 P. and the performers are vaude ville favorites who have won fame and big salaries in Eastern vaudeville houses. The Star always leads. The two Bunts Brothers are the greatest hand-to-hand balancing duo now before tbe public, and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Emmctt appear Jn a society sketch that sparkles'- with wit. The other acts are equally strong, and sure to please. DISCUSSES TRADE UMONISM. This People's Forum Addressed on Subject by A. W. Jones. "Trade Unionism" was the subject brought before the People's Forum last night with A. W. Jones, president of the Clgarmakcrs' Union and tho Officers' As sociation, as the principal speaker. In the course of bis address Mr. Jones reviowed at length tbe history and de velopment of unionism, going back to 1775 for his start. Ho showed that the Increase of benefits to the laborer or workmen had at all times been directly in proportion to the strength of unionism and in his closing argument dwelt strong ly on the fact that It was only through a strong organization of all workmen that their condition could be further bettered. After the usual Informal discussion by the members of the Forum. Mr. Jones was called upon to present tho side of the unions in regard to the present Fair strike. He summed up the position of the strikers in the statement that they con sidered that faith had been broken with them and that after being promised a closed shop the contractors had carried on the work under the open shop system. Portland's Weather Changes. Portland's weather took another flop yesterday and Instead of the bright, warm sunshine she. experienced dark, threatening skies, occasional rains and a cold, chilling wind from the East. From 72 degrees a day or two ago the tempera ture dropped yesterday to 45 degrees min imum, and alter the warm weather It had the effect of chilling those who had prepared for a continuance of Spring weather. At 5 o dock tho velocity of tho wind was 18 miles, but tills increased dur ing the evening. Don't wait until you are sick before try ing Carter's Little Uver Pills, but get a vial at once. You can't take them with out benefit. 231 WASHINGTON ST.
