ADDRESS BY MISS Al!THONY
Venerable 'Leader of Equal Rights
Movement Speaks to Audience
That Packs White Temple
to the Doors.
"When Rev. Anna H. Shaw, in greet
ing the representatives of the Labor
Union on the opening: day of the con
vention, claimed that her members be
longed to the Labor Union, as they,
were the hardest workers in the coun
try, she sounded a note of truth, for
not even on Sunday did they get any
rest. There have been morning, after
noon and night sessions ever since the
convention convened, and this after a
four or five days Journey, which most
of the delegates had to make to reach
the Paclnc Coast, is strenuous even for
women who arc energetic enough to
want equal rights with their male pro
tectors. Yesterday the various churches
of Portland made urgent demands upon
the many able women ministers and
others of the delegates to occupy local
pulpits and they cheerfully complied,
even Miss Anthony consenting to make
a short talk. There was a time but
a few years distant that the pulpits
of only Unitarian and Universallst
Churches were opened to women min
isters, but now the orthodox denomina
tions are glad to have them preach
and large congregations turn out to
hear their sermons. Miss Anthony
made her talk at the White Temple,
and there was not room in the big
church for another person to squeeze
past the doors. Rev. Eleanor Gordon
addressed the congregation of the First
Unitarian in the morning and delivered
the convention sermon in the after
noon. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
charmpd Dr. E. L. House's morning con
gregation by her eloquence and Rev.
Antoinette Stone Blackwell stood in
that pulpit in the evening and
delivered a sermon with surprising
vigor and earnestness. Miss Laura
Clay gave a Bible reading at the Taylor-Street
Methodist, and other mem
bers attended various churches, going
to the convention service at 4 o'clock.
Delivers Eloquent Sermon.
This convention service was thor
oughly enjoyed bj the many who at
tended it and the sermon which Rev.
Eleanor Gordon delivered was one of
the most eloquent heard during the
Jay. Rev. Anna H. Shaw assisted her.
and there was special music for the
occasion. The event of the day, which
drew out the greatest church gather
ing seen in Portland for a long time,
was the appearance of Miss Anthony
at the White Temple. There wa such
enthusiasm over the appearance of the
venerable founder and leader of tho
suffrage movement that when she ap
peared on the rostrum the applause
was as vigorous as though it had not
been Sunday, nor the place a church.
"Aunt Susan," as Portlanders are be
ginning to affectionately call her, was
feeling fine, and when Dr. Brougher
gallantly extended the use of his pul
pit for the exploitation of any doc
trine which she had at hear, she took
him at his word and got in a few
of the best words for the suffrage ques
tion which have been put to the Oregon
public.
Mrs. Gilman Speaks.
Before Introducing Mrs. Gilman, who
consented to address the congregation
after Miss Anthony finished. Dr.
Brougher called attention to tho fact
that there were just as many men as
women in his church, and sometimes
more, put that he was nevertheless a
firm advocate of equal rights for
women.
Mrs. Gllman's arguments are always
invincible, and her perfect familiarity
with the scriptures maTtes it impos- j
slbie for a minister to take issue with
her. She told the congregation first
that she would suppose thorn all to be
Christians, and asked If they did not
think It an ignominious thing to be
saved; and do nothing afterward.
"Song and prayer and what we term
worship come easier than the work of
the six days of the week in which
Christian acts . are to be done," she
said.
Rev. Eleanor Gordon., pastor of the First
Unitarian Church of Des Moines, la., who
preached the convention sermon at the
First Congregational Church yesterday
afternoon had a busy Sunday, as she de
livered a sermon from Dr. George Cros
well Cressey's pulpit in the morning and
attended to other duties during the day.
There was a large gathering of Unitarians
to hear Rev. Miss Gordon, and her ser
mon and delivery gave the greatest sat-
Isfaction. "Revelations of God" was her
text, which Bhe handled well from the
Unitarian viewpoint. To quote briefly her
conclusion, she said:
"The thought of our relation to the uni
verse about us -cannot but deepen our
sense of personal responsibility. We, too,
are factors in evolution. We. too, as well
as God, have something to say about how
things shall be. Professor James in his
wonderfully interesting book, 'Varieties
of Religious Experience,' quotes Anna
Pesnnt as saying: 'Plenty of people wish
well to any good cause, but few care to
exert themselves to help It and still
fewer will risk anything in Its support.'
Someone ought to do it but why should
17 Is the ever re-echoed phrase of
weakkneed amalbllity. 'Someone ought to
do It, so why not I?' Is the cry o.f some
earnest servant of man eagerly springing
forward to face some perilous duty. Be
tween these two sentences lie whole cen
turies of moral evolution."
Bible Reading by Miss Clay.
Miss Laura Clay, of Kentucky, one of
the auditors of he National convention,
gave a Bible reading at the Taylor-Street
Methodist Church last night, and claimed
that the Bible teaches equal rights from
Genesis to Revelations. She supported
this claim by numerous passages, begin
ning with the first chapter of Genesis.
"God created man. male and female and
gave them dominion." Another passage
which Miss Clay made serve as a salient
point in her reading was from St. John
and Is used as the motto of the Kentucky
State Equal Rights: "If ye abide my
words then are ye truly my disciples, and
ye shall know the truth and the truth
shall makeyou free." Many others were
quoted by her to emphasize that liberty is
a Charlstlan hope and a promlso of
Christ. St.- Paul, she said, who Is often
quoted in opposition to equal rights, has
summed up ths whole Christian doctrine
of liberty Jn that portion of Galatlans
where he says: "For ye brethren are
called, for freedom, only use not your free
dom fon an occasion to the flesh, but
th-ough love be sen-ant one to another
for the whole law Is fulfilled in one word
even In this thou shalt love they neigh
bor as thy self."
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a dele
gate to the convention of the National
Woman Suffrage Association filled the
pulpit during the mornlne services at
the First Congregational Church. Mrs.
Gilman took for her text Rom. xiv:7. Her
sermon was. little short of a classic and
was listened to- with interest by a con
gregation that filled the church. -
After quoting that "no man llveth to
himself, or dieth to hlmtftlf," tho speak
er stated that the God who rules over the
universe, ruled over it ages and ages ago.
not only over tho American nation, but
over every nation. She followed the
course of religious belief down to the
present day and compared it to a great
reservoir, stagnant because it held more
than it gave out. This she contended was
the fault of today. Men and women believe
thoroughly in religion, have plenty of re
ligion, but do not apply it. God, she said.
Is Just as strong In business as he is In
any of the affairs of the universe. The
great reservoir that held this great reli
gion, had only a small trickling stream
running from It.
Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, who
shared the pulpit of this church at the
evenlng.service with the pastor, preached
a ffhort sermon which she made as some
thing of a connecting link between Mrs.
Gllman's morning address and Dr.
House's which followed. That xcrsc in
Proverbs xxvli, "As In water face an
swereth to-face, so the heart of man to
man," proved an appropriate topic for
this purpose, and from I Corinthians she
took her text on Immortality. Where Mrs.
Gilman has dwelt upon the lives of tho
human race collectively, showing that
every act was far-reaching in its effect,
good or bad. Mrs. Blackwell dwelt upon
the Individuality of every character, who.
while a part of a great body has a special
work and a special character of Its own
to develop Irrespective of its effect on tho
masses. In speaking of how we are each
differentiated from the infinite Mrs.
Blackwell claimed that It can, be accumu
latively demonstrated that though of the
infinite llfo he has conditioned each one
of us through our own inherent corella
tions to work In accordance with our own
constitution, and that we therefore must
have an Immortal personality.

Over the World to See the
Exposition.
H. Wcinstock, business man author, lec
turer, of Sacramento. Qal., and senior
member of the firm of Wcinstock. Lubin
& Co., of lhat city and San Francisco, is
at the Hobart-Curtis. ccompanied by his
family, devoting some time to a visit to
Portland and Oregon. Mr. Wcinstock
came into prominence several years ago
as author of a semi-religious book. "Jesus,
"the Jew." and is known to Pacific Coast
people for his progressiveness in efforts
tending toward attainment of higher
ideals In civic affairs, and who believes
that the highest duty of Americans is
fealty to responsibilities of citizenship.
"I have always been a warm advocate
or the business man in politics." said he,
last evening, "not as a candidate for
office, but as a factor In bringing about
a correct expression of public sentiment
and endeavoring to help form such senti
ment along the right lines. As a rule, the
typical business man at his fireside de
plores political conditions that exist in so
many states and cities, but Is unwilling
to give of his time or thought to better
such conditions. That Is a grave mistake.'
and resulta in tho situation that while,
by virtue of his Intelligence, influence and
ability, he ought to be among the best
of citizens and by best citizen I mean one
who unselfishly takes an active Interest
In the civic welfare of his community and
his commonwealth as a matter of fact
because of his neglect of-c these chic duties
he is often the worst. I do not know
whether that Is true of Portland, but It la
of Sacramento.
"As an illustration, we attempted at the
time of the last municipal election Hiere
to start a mo-ement for improved condi
tions In which It was desired business
men should bo the active members. It
was impossible to find one who would
take the leadership, some pleading lack
of time from business, others asserting
Ignorance of politics and unwillingness to
learn, and still others Interposing as a
reason promises made to their wives to
keep out of politics. As a rule, there Is
no greater coward than the typical busi
ness roan.
"We have one organization In Sacra
mento, however, comparatively new. and
that promises important results. That Is
a Law and Order League, which has In
Its service a paid executive officer whoso
duty It Is to Investigate as an expert all
cic- and county disbursements, with a
view of disclosing any petty grafting that
may be going on among officials. Work
of this officer has terrorized the official
grafters, and Is likely to have a very re
straining influence In preventing future
grafting. ,
"To Callfornians, Oregon at this season
of the year makes a delightful Impression,
especially to thofe coming from the val-lev-
and arid sections of the state. Very
few Callfornians have any true conception
of Oregon or Its possibilities. They really
underestimate Its resources and attrac
tiveness, and It seems to me that the
greatest show Oregon has to offer visitors
to the Fair is Oregon. I think I have run
across a score of Callfornians who have
expressed themselves delighted with
everything, climate, exhibits, the state,
and all are going home walking adver
tisements of this state, I have attended
many expositions but none other so at
tractive as this.
"Portland is a splendid city, and I have
been Impressed with the goodly number
of churches. Indicating that while this
may be an open town It L not an alto
gether -un-odly town.
"There Is a great forward movement In
the arid valleys of California.. Hereto
fore the chief Improvements have been In
the southern part of our state, in the vi
cinity of Los Angeles, due to large ex
penditures in Irrigation enterprises, but
more recently attention has been called
to Nortnern California, especially the
Sacramento Valley. Not only have pri
vate capitalists begun to Invest large
sums In Irrigation projects, but tho Fed
eral Government has become Interested
In Its development, and indications are
that In the near future the Government
at Washington will expend mllllona on en
terprises in this part of California. This,
together with tne advent of a competing
railroad, the Western Pacific, .means that
the growth of that part of the state In
the next decade will surprise the most
sanguine.
"To my mind, no movement in that part
of California can command much atten
tion without favorably affecting Oregon
as well, for many people who will be
brought to California from Eastern oolnts
will visit Oregon as well. The Increasing
large numoer 01 nomeseeKers will be HKe
ly to distribute Itself farther north."

Rev. F. E. J. Lloyd. D. D recently
elected bishop-coadjutor of the pioccsc
of Oregon, held his opening public serv
ices yesterday in Portland; at St. David's
Episcopal Church, at 10:5). and again
In St. Mark Church in the e'ening.
At St. David's Church, Dr. Lloyd was
BRIGADrER-GENERAL GREELY HERE, EX ROUTE TO ALASKA.
Brigadier-General A W. Greely. chief !gnal officer of the United States
Army, arrived In Portland last evening on the Northern Pacific "from the East.

Mrs. Lewis L. McArthur on Gllsan street.
greeted by a largo congregation., most
of the membership from SL Mark's
Church joining In this service. Frederick
Goodrich had charge of the music, and
Rev. George B. Van Waters, D. D., rec
tor, was In charge of the services. The
chancel had been tastefully decorated in
honor of the coadjutor-bi.hop-elect.
Dr. Lloyd spoke briefly, but with great
force from the- passage of scripture. "Ye
are complete in him." He held up Christ
as the all In all for the people of the
world, and to know, him In truth Is
above everything else. Bishop Lloyd said
he was not a pessimist, and derlarcd that
he had faith In the human race, and .in Its
ultimate uplifting through the power of
the gospel of Jesus Chris-l. The sermon
was purely gospel and was mainly spoken
to the church. Dr. Lloyd did not go
near the altar. butrstood directly in front
of the platform, where" he repeated his
text and delivered his forcible and elo
quent sermon without manuscript or note,
speaking with ease, fiuency and polish.
Following the services In the church
Dr. Lloyd repaired to the parish house
on East Morrison street, where for half
an hour he was Introduced to the people
by Dr. VanWaters. Last night the congre
gation of St. David's Church again
heard tho bishop In St. Mark's Church.
It wns announced from the pulpits yes
tcrday that a general reception will be
tendered Dr. Lloyd and wife this evening
at BIshopcroft. the home of Bishop B.
Wlstar Morris.
Who Bishop-Coadjutor Is.
Bishop Lloyd Is a young-looking man.
and Is very impressive on the platform.
He comes to the Dlocee of Oregon from
Unlontown. Pa. He was born in Wales
about 46 years ago. Is the son of a clergy
man, a graduate of Merton College. Ox
ford. England, and wns ordained to the
dlaconato In 1SS2 by the Lord Bishop
of Oxford, and at once offered hlmnflt
as a mlssloner, and he said: "I want you
to give me a hard field a region where
there Is real work and plenty of It."
and ho was sent to the Diocese of New
foundland and Labrador, where for many
years he experienced many hardships and
privations. Later h came to the United
States, and was rector at Bloomlngton,
111., Hamilton, O., and then at Cleve
land. O.
A Cleveland paper says of Dr. Lloyd,
"Rev. F. E. J. Lloyd, rector of St. Paul's
Church, Is In the public eye from two
points of view as a minister and a musi
cian. He is a doctor of music as well
as a minister. Dr. Lloyd Is a forclful
speaker. Of late he has aimed many
sermons at the laxity of the divorce laws.
He believes that the Episcopal Church
should take a firm stnnd against divorce
and never hesitates to say so."
Dr. Lloyd Is the kind of man that es
pecially appeals to. men. Furthermore,
he knows how to adapt himself to all
sorts and conditions of men. being eounl
ly at home with the poor and with the
rjch. He Is an extemporaneous speaker,
with a strong musical voice, exceedingly
varied In Its modifications. He Is a man
of executive ability and capable of hand
ling large matters. He will make a
worthy successor of the present worthy
and beloved bishop of Oregon.
In the evening Bishop Lloyd preached to
a large congregation at St. Mark's
Church. Nineteenth and Qulmby. from the
text, "After YouShall Be Given to "Know
the Mysteries of the Kingdom of
Heaven." He was In splendid voice, and
his remarks were listened to with the
closest attention.
The Judge and the Criminal.
Rev. Henry T. Atkinson, pastor of the
Epworth M. E. Church, corner of Twenty
third and Irving streets, preached yes
terday morning upon the subject of "The
Judge and the Criminal." His text was
Genesis. xvlli:25. "Shall not the Judge
of all the earth do right?"
"Sodom had become hopelessly corrupt"
he said In part, and God bad pronounced'
upon It the sentence of destruction by
fire, then Abraham pleaded with God for
the city, and In the course of hla plead
ing he asked. 'Shall not the Judge of
all the earth do right.'
"The" attitude of Abraham was the
result of his ignorance of the extent of
the crimes of the inhabitants of Sodom,
and It was also caused by his sympathy
for the Inhabitants, some of -which wer
relatives of his own. the attitude of God
was that of unerring Justice, which was
the result of knowledge, for he had evi
dences In proof of the fact that there
was not a single righteous soul In tho
city, riot even Lot. who was saved not
for his own, but for Abraham's sake.
The other day In Salem a petition was
filed in the Governor's office for tho
pardon of a man who was undergoing
a sentence for murder. It was signed
by a number of men who did not know a
great deal about the case, but they were
like Abraham In that their sympathies
had been excited In the Interests of the
prisoner: another petition, however, was
also filed which protested against the
release of the prisoner because Its sign
ers were men who knew him, who had
lived In the same community with him.
and the destruction of Sodom teaches
that fact and not sympathy should de
termine Justice.
"Human "Judgment Is often affected by
a sort of one-sldM sympathy. A mur
derer Is deluged with flowers, while his
victim seems to be forgotten. A brute
in human guise Is arrested for wife-beating,
and given some of his own medicine,
but not without protest from some who
seem to forget the poor victim" with
bruised eyes and swollen face and bat
tered body and helpless, terrified chil
dren, yet Justice when executed always
results In mercy. One murderer who suf
fers means less murder committed, ono
wife beater properly punished means the
protection -of other wives. There Is no
nobler, grander, more Godlike virtue un
der heaven than that of human sym
pathy in behalf of the oppressed, but
when it shows Itself in the perversion of
Justice or In the effort to pervert It it
then becomes a blot upon humanity, a
sign . of weakness, and not of strength.
Human Judgment may sometimes result
In a miscarriage of Justice, but when God
pronounces sentence, even the conscience
of the criminal attests the fact that the
Judge of all the earth Is right
At Central Baptist Church.
"The world Is made richer by the pres
ence xf ever-," business man who battles
the sentiment that success demands con
formity to questionable methods. Tho
world Is made fairer and freer by every
editor who rises supreme above the man
dates of men. resists flatteries and rcg-J
Isters convictions upon great questions.
The world Is made better by men and
women who reject the dictates of super
ficial society."
Rev. William E. Randall, of the Cen
tral Baptist Church, made this remark
In the course of his sermon last night
on "The Perils of Public Sentiment; Nes.
esslty for Developing Backbone." The
address was founded on the llfc-story
of Daniel, and the character of the an
cient statesman was dcllnlated. He said
further:
"A man's future Is not forecasted by
surveylng his surroundings, but by sur
veying the man himself. You ennnot
grow a genuinely victorious life out of
slipshod purposes. It has never come
to pass that a 'good fellow has become
a great character. Scan the ages! The
great souls, the pioneers of progress,
have lifted above public sentiment.
"What the late John Hay was In Amer
ican public life, closely related to Ad
ministration after Administration, rising
from an unknown boy to become the first
adviser of two Presidents. Daniel, a
Hebrew captive, was to the courts of
Babylon and Persia. The secret of his
success was the conviction that led Luth
er to challenge public sentiment, cultivate
Individuality, and turn the religious
streams of his age. The same secret
that sent Roger Williams Into the wild
erness In the midst of a New England
Winter.
"Be a little drift or detritus: let cir
cumstances sweep you on Into the ocean
of a forgotten past! No! Be a brave,
heroic spirit; challenge public sentiment,
and live on through the ages! Wrecks
of manhood and womanhood. In the
streets, dashed at our feet, decoyed by
false lights! Why? The unforunates
drifted.
"It will cost you something to be a
non-conformist to the mandates of pub
lic sentiment Do not Imagine that men
go upward on slopes of flowers to pre
eminence. Every great soul has been
compelled to break with his age and reap
erlsIon.
"Take a man's position and a man's
part In the great enterprise of living.
j You will play a worthy part in the drama
j of human destiny. The world will be
better because you have passed along
it avenues."

Portland Has . Taken Strides
Toward Metropolitanism.
CHANGES. OF FIVE YEARS
Better and More Efficient FIro and
Police Departments Great Im
provements In the Streets
and Highways.
The past five years Portland has ex
perienced the change from a village to
a city. The demands upon it have been
very great. Evry department of the
municipal government has felt it, and
It 'has required the most vigilant and at
the same time conservative effort on the
part of those In charge.
On January 1 of this year there were
reported In place In the city 33.16 miles
of wooden sidewalk and 154.SI miles .of
cement walk. Of this last amount 136.51
miles was constructed during the last
five years, and 113.73 miles was construct
ed during the years 1903 and 1004. The
sidewalk problem Is settled. The districts
In which no more wooden walks shall be
laid have been established, and the law
governing the construction of hard-surface
walks enacted. This law was drafted
and enacted during the administration of
H. S. Rowe.
There was in place January 1, 1005.
15.0S miles of hard surface streets. One
third of this amount of this pavement
was laid during the years 1503 and 1S01.
and more than half as much more Is now
In course of construction. The old pave
ments on Third street. Sixth street. Mor
rison street and Washington street; have
been repaired and put In excellent condi
tion. The Impovcd methods of construct
ing street railway tracks consisting of the
grooved rail laid In cement and stone
block surface, has been adopted. This
was accomplished by the. officers of the
city a;vd was- not a voluntary act on the
part of the railway companies. Portland
has more than IIS miles of macadam and
gravel strcts. of which Soi miles were
laid In 1S93-L One of the most perplex
ing problems of Mayor Williams' Admin
istration was the dilapidated roadways
and bridges. East Water street and
East Washington street and nearly all
the small gulches In South Portland .
spanned by wooden bridges have been
filled. Steel bridges have. been built over '
Marquam's Gulch at First and Front 1
street and orer Balch Gulch on Thur
man street All remaining bridges and
and provision has been made for perma-
nent improvements In the future. The '
old bridge cosslng the Willamette River 1
at Morrison street has been replaced
with the new bridge which Is equal to
any bridge on the Pacific Coast. Greater
facilities for crossing the river have
been provided by additional ferries at
Scllwood and Alblna.
Fire Department.
The fire department has received the
most particular attention. The fire
boat was built during the administra
tion of Mayor Williams at a cost of
about $65,000. It is admitted to be :
superior to any fire boat In the United
States, costing even 25 per cent more
and in some details it has no cqua
The dock and fire boathouse were con
structed out of the ordinary income of
the city. Both are excellent, the equip
ment Is the best and the boat Is In serv
ice under a very competent crow. The
city has also -In sen-Ice the two largest
and best fire engines on the Pacific
Coast; in fact they are not equaled on
the Coast. One was purchased under
Mayor Rowe's administration, and one I
under Mayor Williams' administration.
The whole department has first-class
hose and apparatus. The fire stations
have all been repaired and are in good
condition. Five years ago they were
falling In upon the occupants and the
foundations and floors were so rotten
that It was dangerous to take the ap
paratus In and out. The department

fully equipped department and Is to
day considered by competent nuthorlty
to be one of the very best In the coun
try. Police Department.
Tne police force has been increased
from less than CO to 127 members. The
city Is as free from crime as any clty
in the United States of similar location
and population. Regardless of criti
cism of details, the record of arrests
during the past three years Is com
mendable. The department has dono
