With the restoration of Station A, at the corner of Union avenue and East Alder street, the East Side mail delivery service will be vastly improved. Post master Mlnto, who has been the strong est advocate for restoring this station, says that one of the results will be that mails for Central East Portland will be sent to Station A direct from the trains. The malls for that part of the city will be distributed on the trains and thrown off on the-East Side without being sent to the main postoffice. This will not be done at first, but will come later, ' and will give the people as good mail service as those on the West Side. The station will be Increased In Importance as facili ties are obtained. The station is now being made ready and can be opened about May 1. Twenty-Nine Want Ealoox Licenses. Twenty-nine applications to run saloons in St. Johns have been filed with Mayor W. H. King. At the mass meeting Satur day night one of the speakers suggested that the Council deal with perfect fair ness to the applicants, and grant each one a license, but requiring each to pay $500 per year license in advance. "That would bring in cash enough to run the city government," exclaimed this speaker with much eloquence, "and the taxpayers would not be compelled to foot the bills for a xity hall, fire apparatus or the pub lic dock." The Mayor took the advice under consideration. City Attorney Greene will render his opinion this evening to tho Council whether or not there Is any authority to grant a license under the charter for any purpose. Buried bt His Surviving Comrade.

Hull Declares It Is Not on the Decline Today. "Is Spiritualism on the Decline?" was the subject of an address by Mrs. Hull, at the First Spiritual Society, Artisans' Hall, yesterday morning. She said that spiritualism. In no time In its history, had progressed as much as it is doing to day. But everything Is not spiritualism -that has taken its name. In the early days of modern spiritualism the mani festation of Its phenomena was regarded as too sacred to bring before the public gaze and the seance was strictly a fam ily affair. Such a thing as commercial mediumshlp was not thought of. This has come as an outgrowth of the strenu ous money-seeking spirit of the world. Commercial mediumshlp catered to the mere physical senses, while spiritualism was the study of spiritual things, with the end in vlow of man coming into full realization that he is a spiritual being here and now spiritual things are spiritu ally discerned. The phenomena of spir itualism were signs pointing to the ne cessity of arousing the spiritual faculties, and were no more spiritualism, perse, than the knock at a man's door or the ringing of an alarm clock to awaken him from sleep, comprised the duties he had to perform in his dally life. The spirit ualism of Sir William Crookes, Alfred Russell Wallace, A. J. Balfour and other men and women distinguished for intelli gence and right thinking was on the In crease, but the commercial mediumshlp that appealed only" to man's vanity, greed and superstition was on the decline, to the growth and advantage- of Spiritual ism. In the afternoon Rev. Moses Hull, the president of Morris Pratt Institute, Whitewater, Wis., spoke on "Deeds and Creeds: or Who Is a Christian?" He stated that the Christianity of Christ was a matter of conduct, and not belief in a set of theological opinions, molded into a creed. The evolution of- humanity to ever-expanding planes of higher intelli gence disproves the pessimistic theory of a "fallen" world. Progress is eternal. The only salvation the world .needs Is salvation from ignorance, and the school masters and. scientists are doing more to save us from that hell than all the evangelists. Their idea of salvation is salvation from a future hell of everlast ing pain and punishment, which. If a man believes in, he is in a state of ig norance, and which is hell to him here and now, and from which enlighten ment alone can save him. The Christian, according to the Christ, was not saved by belief in his death, but in the moral upllftment Induced by fol lowing his example. Jesus did not tell the "lawyer" or the "young man" that he would "Inherit eternal life." through belief in the Bible or the atonement or his divinity, but it consisted in living the life of love to neighbor, to obey the moral commandments, to give up selfish ness and greed. To many, calling them selves Christians, these moral teachings of the Christ are considered to be of less value tan the belief that "Christ died on the cross to save sinners from hell," and that they are saved by that belief. TO USE OBSERVATION CARS Southern Pacific Will Inaugurate New System This "Week. The Southern Pacific will commence running observation cars through the Willamette Valley on trains 11 and 12, according to adlvces received from Charles S. Fee, passenger traffic manager at San Francisco. The change Is to go into effect on April 19, and will be main tained during the Summer and Fall, hav ing been made especially on account of' the Lewis and Clark Fair. Train 11 leaves Portland at S:30 o'clock in the morning and reaches Roseburg at 5:45 in the afternoon. The returning train. No. 12, leaves Roseburg. at 11:40 A. M. and reaches Portland at 8 o'clock in the evening. It wasut a short time since the South ern Pacific received five new observa tion cars, which have been put In service between Roseburg and San Francisco. The addition to the service will give an observation car through from San Fran cisco to Portland, though on different trains. On one set of trains it will be pos sible to see the entire run through the Slsklous either way, though these trains will run through the Willamette Valley "by night. The day trains through the Valley will run through the mountains during the night. The changes have been made in line with the policy of betterment which Is" being inaugurated over the Southern Pa cific system In order to bring the longer Southern route In greater favor with Summer tourists through the Northwest. TAUGHT IN SCHOOL HERE Miss Jennie E. Arnold Dies in . Cadiz, Ohio. Word came yesterday from Cadiz, O., that Miss Jennie E. Arnold, teacher for 15 years at the Couch school In this city, had died there Saturday. Last January' jiiss Arnoia was auacKed with cerebral hemorrhage while about to teach her pu pls in the Couch school, and was re moved for treatment to St. Vincent's Hospital.

Multitudes of Sightseers Jour ney to the Beautiful City on. the Lake. WONDERS GROWING DAILY Finishing Touches Are Being Placed on the Great Buildings Cen tennial Park a Dream of Natural Beauty. Out by the new City on the Lake where the merry fakers are beginning to gather to lay in wait for Summer visitors, the Sunday crowd made its weekly pilgrim age yesterday and looked and admired. Yesterday's crowd was largely com posed of out-of-town people. They corao and wondered, for the greater part had never seen anything like It, Alighting from a car In a street of hurrying restaurant-keepers and candy-sellers, all putting in the Sunday hastening the work on their booths, they entered the gate Into the City oft Dreams. Stepping over broken boards and around barrels of lime, dodging the venders of souvenirs and pictures of the Forestry building, they paid their 10 cents, the turnstile ticked and a vision of beauty arose before them. For the Fair was very beautiful yester dayv The rain had come down hard the night before and washed everything white and clean and the sun had arisen with the morning and burnished, the whole till it shone like the desert. The balustrades bad also received a new coat of paint, and down on the Trail the staff has been affixed clear to the water's - edge. View From Staircase. The top of tho tirand Staircase beyond the Sunken Gardens seems to be the fa vorite place for the spectators to stop and admire. From there can be seen the Trail arising "like Aphrodite from the sea," clean and white. The whole Trail seemp now nearer the water, as though it rested on It. Beyond the end of it the Government building is taking on colors to the roof, and over by the foot of the hills which close in sharply to the left tne American Inn stands as a touch of yellow In all this whiteness. That vel low Is restful, and no doubt this Summer wnen the spectator turns to that In the evening. It will mean peace to him. Crowds of strango people, rushinsr. car load after carload, out to the edge of town io iook at this wonder city, makes tne citizens stop and think. Thev come to realize suddenly that Portland has grown far out of their knowledge and tney nave a world's city and a world's fair on their hands. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WINS Governor of Xebraska Vetoes BUI for Suppression of Practice. - Governor Mickey of Nebraska hxs vetoed a bill for the suppression of Chris tian science practice. The text of trie veto Is printed herewith In part at the request of Portland Christian Scientists: The purpose of this act is to make the practice of Christian Science healing un lawful and to punish practitioners, unless they educate themselves to materia med lca, therapeutics, surgery, and other branches of the secular medical profes sion. To accomplish this purpose a change in the existing statutes is essential, as there is no law now in force forbidding the practice of Christian Science. Such a change in legislation can lawfully be made only by amendment of the statutes In force or by the passage of an in dependent act. Both of these methods are Ignored in house roll No. 165. Considered as an amendatory act, the bill violates the constitutional provision, that "no law shall be amended unless the new act contain the section or sec tions so amended and the section or sec tions so amended shall be repealed." There Is no attempt in house roll No. 165 to set out the old section or to re peal It, and the bill, as an amendment of an existing law, would be unconsti tutional if approved. Again, the enabling act by Congress, authorizing the formation and adoption of a constitution for the State of Nebras ka, expressly demands that said consti tution shall provide, by an article forever irrevocable, without the consent of the Congress of the United States, "that per fect toleration of religious sentiment shall be secured and no inhabitant of said state shall ever be molested in person or property on account of his or her mode of religious worship." In pursu ance of this mandatorj' requirement the constitution of the State of Nebraska declares that "all persons have a natural and Indefeasible right to worship Al mighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences," and further adds, "nor shall any interference with the rights of conscience be permitted." In the .Christian Science religion the Ideas or worship and of divine healing are so Intermingled that it is Impossible to draw the line of demarcation, and hence inter ference with the one or the other is an in terference with "the rights of conscience" and thus becomes 'an Infringement of the constitutional guaranty of religious freedom. Considered In anr llirht tfo bill conflicts with the constitution. The measure is also open to tho objec tion that It is class legislation. Prac titioners of osteopathy are specifically ex cepted from burdens Imposed upon those who practise Christian Science healing. Without In any degree reflecting upon the motives of the Legislature, it Is dif ficult, too, to avoid the conclusion that the bill was conceived in a spirit of pro fessional Intolerance. As originally Intro duced, the measure bore upon osteopaths with the same rigor that It does upon Christian Scientists, and when It Is re called that homoeopaths, eclectics, and other now well recognized schools of healing, as well as osteopaths, have had to fight their way lo existence over legal barriers raised by their professional brethren who happened to be within the pale of the law, the suspicion may be pardonable that there is more at Issue than a consuming zeal for the public health. These are some of tho reasons which impel me to return house roll No. 165 to your honorable body without my ap pro vaL JOHN H. MICKEiY, Governor. Speaks in "Unitarian Church. HOOD RIVER, Or., April 16. (Special.) Rev. J. G. Tate, of the Presbyterian Church of Denver, and grand supreme lecturer of the A. O. U. W., filled the pulpit this morning in the First Uni tarian Church In this city, in the absence of Rev. O. J. Nelson. A large audience listened to his discourse. Rev.

Tcvls Hettie Green Fay Wallace Valentine Charterls. .Blanche Douglas Mrs. Thorne Laurette Allen Dora Thome Catherine Countlss Cathrinc Countlss suddenly slapped William Bernard's face. It was no love pat, but a sounding slap. Noc to be out done, William Bernard engaged In a box ing match with Donald Bowles, but was met with a stage knock-out. George Bloomqulst was a poet but not one of the long-haired kind and he became stage drunk and had to be hauled away In a wheelbarrow. Here is one ot the love ipoems that Bloomqulst uttered: It's sweet to love, But, oh. how bitter To court a girl. And then not get 'er. That all happened, and more, In two meritorious performances given yester day afternoon and evening at tlje Colum bia Theater of the comedy-drama. "Dora Thome," dramatized from the novel of that name. The offering was well staged and well received "by large audiences. Sev eral curtain recalls were given. "Dora Thome," the play at the Colum bia all week, belongs to the old-fashioned English drama, period before Miss Prob lem Play happened, where the evil Is caused by the heavy woman who sows discord between u husband and wife. The latter ultimately kiss and make up, and everything is lovely". Yet the drama can not be described as a weepy one, for de licious humor Is Infused into it by Wil liam Dills, George Bloomqulst and Fay Wallace. Miss Countlss was beautifully realistic in the emotional role of the young wife, a part in which she excels. Donald Bowles pleased as Ronald Earle, and the new stage manager, R. C. Tevis, a recent arrival here from . Honolulu, was satisfactory as. Lord. Earle. Blanche Douglas played a difficult part well. 8he prospers in parts where all the women, of the company get stage husbands or lov ers except herself. See "Dora Thome." it's worth. J. M.

(X' the Eultor-T As secretary of the Socialist party, I have been Instructed to send you the following contribution to the solution of the prevailing topic. "Munlclpallratlon and Socialism"': Thursday, April 13, at 8 P. M., in the So cialist Hall. 300 Davla street, the Intellectual Socialists of Portland, 1. e., the Socialist. Ed ucational Society, to tht number of 40, met and debated: "Does Municipal Ownership Ben efit the Cause of Socialism 7" Measre. Krauze and Robinson took the negative, while Messrs. McHenry and Bums took the affirmative. Three judges were elected to render a decis ion. In the decision here appended Is food for the "hot-air merchants" of Portland and elsewhere who are now on the stump advo cating and condemning municipalization: "Munlalpal ownership Is not Socialism. Mu nicipal, state or National ownership of post offices, street-cars, twine factories, oil refiner ies, etc, under the present system of pro duction for profit Is not and cannot be So cialism." Barbarism gave way to. chattel slavery, which In Us turn was replaced by feudalism; out of (feudalism haa evolved our present sys tem called capitalism. Now. as capitalism la no more Immortal than-the systems which have preceded It, It In Iti turn rauet give way to Its own child, new, holy, noble and glori ous, called by the name of Socialism. This trend of modern public opinion in the wave of municipal ownership Is but the fore runner of state capitalism a necessary phase or plane In the evolution of capitalism Into Socialism. , We Socialists, being an International body of thinkers, unsparing analysts and Inexorable forecaster?, know the future through a conclss and mathematically accurate knowledge of the pact and present: and we say most emphat ically that unless the earth stand still then Socialism Is the tomorrow of today. If municipal ownership was Socialism, would It be. as it Is. advocated by Socialism's oppo nents, the Republicans and Democrats? "Would the Roman Catholic church advocate atheism? Doea the A. P. A. advocate Roman Catholicism, or does the Christian Scientist ad vocate a hell of Caylnl9tic propensity? To the Socialist the present system Is a huge cauldron in which the flesh, muscle, bone and blood ot the working class la cooked Into a horrible stew called profit. The odor aris ing from this hideous cauldron la a stench in the nostrils of every one worthy of the name Man; but It la as a sweet-emelllng Incense In the nostrils of the brainless, spineless and bowelless advocates of capitalism. Municipal ownership la not Socialism, but every case of municipal ownership Is a concession In the argument for Socialism. Herein Ilea the fundamental difference be tweea municipal ownership and .Socialism: Municipal ownership doea not seek to pro vide for the self-employment and the self-direction of the worker, and Socialism doea. In conclusion, let Ella Wheeler Wilcox tell us WHO IS A SOCIALIST T Who la a Socialist? It is the man Who strives to formulate or aid a plan To better earth's conditions. It Is he "Who, having ears to hear and eyes to see, la neither deaf nor blind when might, rough shod, Treadfl down the privileges and right which God Means for all men, the privileges of toll. To breathe puro air, to till the fertile aoil The right to live, to love, to woo, to wed And earn for hungry mouths their meed ot bread. The Socialist is he who claims no more Than his own share from generous Nature' store. Butthathe asks, and asks, too, that no other Shall claim the ehare of any weaker brother. And brand him beggar In his own domain To glut a mad inordinate lust for gain. The Socialist Is one who holds the best Of all God's gifts Is toll the second, rest. He asks that ail men learn the sweets of labor And that no idler fatten on his neighbor. That all men be allowed their share of (alsure, Nor thousands slave that one may seek his pleasure. Who on the Golden Rule shall dare Insist, Behold In him the modern Socialist. Tours respectfully, THOS. BURNS. WHERE TO DINE.

Can you take a beer after hearing that play?" asked one man of another yesterday afternoon as they were stepping out of the "Empire the ater. "No, sir. Guess I'm on the water wagon now," said his friend. They had just attended an excellent perform ance, for 10 cents, of the great tem perance play. "Ten Nights In a Bar room," in which rum is dealt a solar plexus blow. The company worked their hardest to give a realistic rep resentation, and succeeded. The play is one that teaches young folks, espe cially family parties, a powerful les son for good. There are real barroom scenes, but it is noticeable that all the persons who drink liquor there come to harm. The most pathetic feature is where Bertha Holmes, as the drunkard's child, pleads with her father to leave the saloon and oome home. Frank Montgomery plays the part of the drunken father and displays most of the emotional work. C. W. York Is a. fighting gambler. George B. Berrell wins first place by his really clever acting and the humor he infuses into It. Edith Montrose and L. Athey give amusing songs during the action of tho play. The latter will be the attrac tion every afternoon and evening for a week. The nouse was crowded yesterday at both performances. GIVES ELOQUENT SERMON Rev. William E. Randall Draws a Pleasing Simile. "The Bad Bargain of a Hungry Man," was Rev. William E. Randall's topic yes terday morning at the Central Baptist Church, East Side. The text was from Hebrews xll: 15-17: "Esau, who was one mess of meat, sold his own birthright. For ye know that even he afterward desired to Inherit the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place for a change Qf mind, though he sought it diligently with tears." He said in part: "This Is the summing up ot the story of a man who under the stress of hun ger and pressure of circumstances made a bad bargain. When we Investigate the lines along which Esau's tragedy de veloped, we find more that is common to ourselves than in almost any -other Bible character. "The fatigued man's extremity was Jacob's opportunity! 'Give me food!' 'Sell me first thy birthright!' Jacob drove a hard bargain with the man within his power. "A strong man, with rugged scenery and a hunter's liberty sweeping into his soul, Esau should have written his sig nature upon great achievements. He failed in the midst of splendid possi bilities and responsibilities! He bartered his opportunity! "With more or less distinctness, God's hope song sings In every soul; aspira tions surge; moral landscapes lift above the mists. Tou feel deep down in your life that you have a right to freedom, expansion or powers, victory! "Your birthright Includes a body to be kept as a worthy temple of an Immortal spirit; a mind to thrill with delight for and in the good, the true, the beautiful; a spirit with wings to unfold and lift you into communion with God, where you may breathe the atmosphere of heaven. A life, pure In childhood, strong in man hood, rich In old age, standing upon sunlit heights! "You may justify this inscription: Born; to opportunities that were not ac cepted. Died; to possibilities that were rejected.' There are tragedies In single sentences. 'Sold, for temporary gratifica tion, an educational opportunity.' 'Sold, for moments of pleasure, great moral possibilities.' "Near every Esau with an unrestrained self lurks a designing Jacob ready to pander to a fevered life. Ask the vic tim of appetite if Indulgence paid! Ask the unfortunate woman at the end of the primrose path of dalliance with sin! "The Gospel proclaims that no living person facing personal mistakes and long ing for victory is confronted with a closed door. There are great pictures In the portrait gallery of actual persons. A young man, or young woman, reject ing ease and pleasures that bring pain: accepting the pathway to pre-eminence! Men and women In the midst of life's conflict, refusing to take advantage of the less fortunate, resisting the tempta tions and accepting the tasks of life! Old age: calm souls, bearing the scars of conflict, resolutely saying. 'I have kept the faith. I have been true to con science, true to men. true to God.' " .' Remains of Captain Lewis. PORTLAND, Or.. April 1G, 1S05. To the Editor: The Sunday Oregon Ian of today contains an article, In heavy display type, with title as follows: EXPLORER LIES IN LONELY GRAVE.

The St. Louts Fair is a thing of the past It was held more In commemoration of the Louisiana purchase than of Lewis and Clark. The Lewis and Clark Centennial now soon to be held is In commemora tion of the great explorers whose names It bears. Says Swain: "The hero of the expedl .tlon, the first Governor ot the new coun try, lies unremembered in the Tennessee foresL" This should not be. Let the remains- of Captain Lewis be removed from their lonely grave and with appropriate cere monies sepulchered in the City Park, where it was proposed at one time to erect a monument in honor of these men. And then let the monument be erected. What more appropriate than that the bones of this courageous man' should lie In the principal city of the great country which he was Instrumental la bringing to the notice of the world?
