THE MdRKTNG OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, 3fOVE3EBER 10. 1905.

MOST INADEQUATE
Committee Appointed to De
mand Improvement From
. the Corporations.
THREATEN THE INITIATIVE
If Management? Do Not Comply With
Kcqucst for Betterment, People
AVI II Find a Way to
Make Them.
Toleration and submission supinely
to the outrageous overcrowding of
nearly all branch street-car lines
reaching the suburbs have ceased to
be a virtue with the victims of this
oppression, and resistance Is In the air,
from Selltvood to St. Johns, and from
First street to Mount Scott. There
never has been such an uprising, nor
character. The street car companies
may as well understand that they will
have to provide comfortable trans
portation for their passengers, and it
they do not voluntarily and cheerfully
do the right thing by the public they
sadly misunderstand the temper of the
people who have submitted tamely to
every sort of Inconvenience and out
rage in the past A visit yesterday to all
the suburbs affected Mount Scott. Sell-

business and places of employment.
shows that they are ready for any remedy.
Initiative or Municipal Ownership.
The proposition of Richard Scott to
submit a petition for initiative on an
ordinance compelling the car com
panies to provide seats for all .passen
gers from whom they collect fare Is
regarded with much favor, although
Mount Scott could not be affectea
much, being outside the city limits
Many also are talking about municipal
ownership, as a remedy for the evils
to which the public has to submit.
"The stock of the companies is so
heavily watered," declared J. H.
Shields, a resident of SU Johns, "that
they must do something to pay divi
dends by oppressing the people. It is
rumored among the carmen that the
two companies will reduce the service
wherever they can, cut off the trailers
so as to cut down expenses. I don't
know how true this report is, but the
Portland Consolidated has cut off nine
cars on the St. Johns run since Novem
ber 8."
But the conservative want to give
the car companies a chance to remedy
the overcrowding of cars voluntarily
before resorting to any other means.
These think that the companies will
not dare to turn a deaf car to the re-
nllfct nt tVio urhnla mn nc nf TiAftnlA 'at
fected.
Committee Will Meet Managers.
The committee appointed at the
meeting of the East Side Improvement
Association will meet the managers of
th? Oregon Water Power & Railway
and Portland Consolidated Railway and
The committee Is composed of "VV. L..
Thorn t'yke. of St. Johns; Dr. A. W.
Moore. Mount Tabor and Mount Scott;
D. H. Donaugh. Sellwood; J. T. Gregg,
"VVoodlawn; F. S. Bennett, East Ankeny
and Montavilla. This committee rep
resents all districts affected, which
have a population of probably 25,000.
Some of these districts suffer more
than others. Montavilla and East An
keny lines serve the people fairly well,
as do the Sunnyslde and Mount Tabor
lines, but even in these there is room
for improvement. The committee will
represent and have the backing of all
this great population. The committee
hope to meet the managers of the com
panies in time to Submit a reporfrat the
meeting of the association next Tues
day evening.
Favor No Half-Way Measures.
"W. Thorndyke. of St. Johns, who
heads the committee on overcrowding
cars, declared yesterday afternoon that
he was in favor of no half-way meas
ures. "I favor going to the street-car com
panies in a fair and open way, and lay
ing before them the intolerable condi
tions under which so many of the sub
urbs are suffering, and asking that a.
remedy be afforded," said he. "This is
the right action to take. Let us first
give them a chance to remedy the out
rages, and then if this be not done, I
should favor most effective and drastic
action. The Supreme Court has held,
over and over again, that a street-car

something we do not want to resort to,
if we can get Justice lnjiny other way.
At St. Johns and ong the Peninsula
there has been a reduction of nine cars.

ing from Portland. The crowding of
the St. Johns cars, especially in the
evening, is simply intolerable worse
than cattle cars. "We are told that five
new and large cars are being built for
this branch that will carry 60 passen
gers each, and that the ones now in use
will be changed to the Vancouver route.
But these large cars, even with trail
ers, will not relieve the outrageous

and 105 on a trailer the other evening,
which is a common occurrence. This is
the thing we want to stop, and the St.
Johns and the Peninsula people will
unite with other sections in this move
ment." Mayor King Will Help.
Mayor .King, of St. Johns, yesterday
declared that he would Join with any
movement that promised relief from the

find all the seats taken when they start
for their homes, which compels them to
stand up fully half an hour. The new
time table greatly Increases the running
time, and adds more to the suffering of
the people who board the car at Second
and Alder streets because it takes them
so much longer time to reach their
homes.
E. C, Hurlburt. of St. Johns, favors the
noiaing or a mass meeting In every
suburb in the city.
We will not submit quietly to the op
pression of the car company," declared
Mr. Hurlburt, "and I am In favor of the
people rising up in mass and demanding
that the companies! put oh enough cars
to take care of the traffic. They cannot
collect fares If -they do not provide seats.
If we quietly submit we cannot hope for
relief. We must protest hard."
Favors Initiative, if Necessary.
D. M. Donaugh, president of the Sell
wood Board of Trade, and member of the
Joint committee from the East Side Im
provement Association, declared yester
day that the appointment of this com
mittee representing all -sections was in
the right direction.
"It is the right action first to request
the companies) to give us relief," said Mr.
Donaugh. "They must give heed to a
committee representing all the sections
of the East Side. It is a power Or apr
peal. I understand that the company has
given some relief for Sellwood by .trip

am not Informed, but I want to say that

but from what I understand of the law
It undoubtedly can be used as a very ef

crowding of cars, not on any one par

almost every line that runs Into the
suburbs. The people certainly have it in
their power to wrest Justice from the car
companies. If they will not be reason-

Dr. A. "W. Moore, member -of the com
mittee, said he Is ready to join In a
strong protest to both companies and
demand remedies. He said that on the
Sunnyslde and Mount Tabor branches
there was little if any complaint, and
also the East Ankeny and Montavilla
branches were fairly well cared for, but
that other suburbs were badly treated.

GOLD OUR YELLOW PERIL
Make Vital the Golden Rule Between
All Classes.
PORTLAND. Nov. 0. CTo the Editor.) Not
gold as a measure of Values or as a medium
of exchange, but gold which makes society
sordid and politics corrupt. This U the Justi
fication of Socialism. If It has a Justification,
-in this country. "
I went to the People's Forum last Sunday
night, feeling that I was. in a way, a theoret
ical Socialist. I sympathize with the move
ment to this extent: I believe it would be
better for us to have less wealth In thin coun
try, if we could have si fairer distribution
of It. So far as the capitalists hare accumu
lated their hordes of wealth by corrupt and
dishonest methods, I am with the masses
aralnst that class. But what I heard at the
Forum did not impress me - favorably with
Portland Socialism.
Dr. Chapman, In opening his address, de
fined Socialism as nonsense. This did not
strike the audience at all favorably. One
man, firm In the faith, a Hollander, I believe.
nt nnrn n rtmx itih him with jl definition a
given in the Socialistic party's platform: I
"That the principle of Socialism was public !
ownership of all the means of employment
or production." If the gentleman had be
longed to the Socialist Labor party, he would ;
have added the words, "In common." j
The first speaker was followed by three '
bold Brltalns. They were as well dressed as
the lecturer and. apparently, as well fed. They
told of the woes of the worklagman. What
their personal grievance was, I could not
make out, but, generally. If Is that they do
not get a fair "divvy." That was their way ;
S 'Thrr rt
labor." It is true, in my opinion, that the
capitalists get a much larger share than
they are entitled to. But, as 41 rule, wagea
are fair and the laboring man Is wronged
only as he is a consumer. Just as all other
consumers are wronged as a result of selfish
combinations, high tariffs and numerous other
conditions.
The next speaker, an orator from the Ever
green State, denounced competition as sinful.
Far be it from me to belittle honest convic
tions or to doubt the sincerity of our Populist
proletariat convictions, but they should not
draw hard and fast lines of demarcation be
tween classes. It Is not patriotic or aood
policy. All of Dr. Chapman's critics talked
as though they never expected to have any.
thing to sell except their labor. X wish them
better luck. Should they ever accumulate
property, they will come under the gravita
tion of competition. Nearly all men are both
debtor and creditor In their own persons. It
is often bard to tell when a man passes from
one class to the other.
Mr. Stephens, and several others, laid em
phasis on the great tact that they were all
International Socialist. Have they aband
oned the Socialist Labor party? I hope not.
Just as some doubting souls are seeking po
litical light. I have a fear that our friends
of the Forum do not understand Marx's
philosophy. The last sentence In his Interna
tional platform, which they quote, la. this:
"No rights without duties, no duties without
rights." This Is a good fundamental. But
how are we to exerclso dutle's or claim rights,
or to help others claim rights and exercise
their duUes beyond national boundaries? The
needs, conditions and aspirations of different
peoples are so divergent that cooperative
Socialism Is a barren Ideality.
As I left the room, five leaflets were given
me. One of them contained this In large
print: "The Socialist party of America stands
not for reform, but for revoluUon." 1, for
one, am ready ttr reform, but not ready, for
revolution brought on by preaching the gos
pel of hate. Let us rather make vital the
Golden Rule .between all parties and classes.

CHOICE OF BRUIN
His Selection Violates Spirit if
Not Letter.
DISREGARD CIVIL SERVICE
Although Ho Was Absent in Manila
m Six Years, Attempt Is Made to
Hold Him as Citizen of.
City of Portland.
That the spirit of the civil rvice
regulations has beencriolated by the
Lane administration In the appoint
ment of Patrick Bruin to be captain of
detectives and Inspector 'of police. Is
acknowledged by practically every per
son acquainted with the facts. Indeed,
at 8
And After a l'lemsant Journey
the question as to whether or not the
letter has not been abused is so close
as to be puzzling to many. From all
of the clrcumstanoes surrounding the
matter. It appears that for some un
Itnown reason Bruin was picked out
from the start and rushed through. In
spite of everything, with no considera
tion for other members of the" depart
ment. A close. legal question Is whether or
not Bruin had rosided in Portland for
three years next proceding hfs appllna-
tlon, as provided In section 23 of the
city charter. He was In Manila for
six years, but claims that he -never
changed his residence from here. He
arrived in this city after that absence
Hlx months ago. That he should be
accounted a resident here during all
those years seems a big stretch of the
legal point.
What the Charter Provides.
In the light of provisions In section
316 of the city charter, it will be seen
that Bruin's appolntmont was an abuse
of the intent of the civil service, the
language being as follows:
"The. Commission shall, by Us rules,
provide for promotions in the classified
service on the basis of ascertained
merit and seniority In service, and
ntanding upon examination, and shall
provide that In all cases where prac
ticable, vacancies shall be filled by
promotion."
In his examination Bruin passed a!
95 per cenL He had no previous serv
ice in this city. On the other hand.
Captain of Police Moore passed at SS
per cent when he took the examination,
and through his long years of service
here takes first rank in seniority.
While Bruin never saw service In
the police business In Portland. Moore
has spent many of the best years of
his life at.it, and Is now In his prime.
Ho worked up from the humble posi
tion of patrolman to a sergeantcy;
later he was promoted to be a capaln.
nnd during the short absence of ex
Chlcf McLauchlan, he was temporary
head of the department. Not In all his
long term of office has he been repri
manded. He is also drlllmastcr of the
police force. In which capacity he Is
S very successful
Xot Asked to Compete.
Naturally, Moore has at his fingers
ends the facts In connection with every
feature of police business In Portland,
being thoroughly familiar with all
phases of the city's life. Being a total
stranger hero In so far as police work
Is concerned, as much cannot be said
for Bruin.
Captains Moore and Bailey were not
asked to compete for the position of
captain of detectives or Inspector of
police, and from this it appears that
the administration did not wish to fol
low the provisions of section 316 of the
city charter, and promote either one, in
case he should pass.
Again tho Army Canteen.
PORTLAND, Nov. P. (To the Editor.) As a
member of the Society of Friends, who haTe
stood unflinchingly In face of Imprisonment
and spoliation against the existence of stand,
lng armies. I was glad to have been the
means of drawing from The Oregonlan the
admission that 'the profession of arms U. In
lta very nature, demoralizing. j
The Quakers nave stood on that platform
for many years, and will be rejoiced to help
the editor of the great Portland dally up to
the level of Its broad basis on truth and true
civilization. But while we stand for disarma
ment, we also stand for truth and Justice.
Hence, though X should be the last to "com
pllment our soldiers boys on the high type
of manhood that .they represent," I do bold
by my own worda that "We do not believe
they are of an essentially lower type of man
hood than the employes of our railroad com
panies." It was the knowledge of the demor
alizing tendency of army life that ld me
to use the word "essenUally." They are, by
reason of their calling, potentially lower but
sot rasentlallr so.
I am glad to have had you draw attention
to the fact that the agitation for the repeal
of .the anti-canteen law Is based 00 the as
sumption that our eoldlers are ethically below
the level even of comparison with employes
of railroads, and that to so compare them Is
"in line with the ponderous absurdity of the
position of the W. C T. TJ. In this matter.
X doubt if the soldier boys will be altogether
grateful for as advocacy that rubs Into them
the fact that they are In a state of "servi
tude," "wearing away the time," In "Idle
ness," "in such ways as present themselves.
until the term of service expires," "many
of them drinking' more or less." As you
seated In your first article that "drunkenness

"less." And yet we can only gather from
your remark that the position you take, pre
bomably so much wiser than the. absurdities
of the W. C T. V., U "that the dejreneracy of
their manhood Inherent to the profession they
follow, should be raw be pandered to and
fostered In order to Induce them to remain

The testimony of Army officers Wi by no
means entirely on the side of the canteen.
Unfortunately, being; away from home. I
cannot prove this statement by tho many
quotations that otherwise I would append to
this letter, and it will take too lone for
tbf present purpose to obtain the information
from headquarters. But we f&sll be happy
to verify this statement to anyone who may
be sufficiently interested and thu prove that

ROUT CONSTABLE WAGNER
I)rIvcnDofvn Stairway at Point of a
Pistol.
At the point of a revolver yesterday
afternoon Lou "Wagner, the irrepressible
Constable of the Justice Court was
driven down the stairs of an apartment
house on Oak street between Third and
Fourth when trying to serve replevin
papers. John Reld, skipper of the launch
Fox, was TVagncr's Nemesis. Tull &
GIbbs, house furnishers, procured replevin
.papers from Justice Reld's court to re
move furniture from the Reld household.
Wagner, armed with the papers, but
without his revolver, approached Reld
with fortitude while the latter was en
joying an afternoon siesta. "Get out of
here." said Reld, drawing a revolver from
his hip pocket and flourishing It under
Wagner's nose. Wagner hurried precipi
tately down the stairs. He ran to police
headquarters and borrowed Joe Day's re
volver and slung shot. Accompanied with
several admirers who had armed them
selves to be "In at the, killing," Wagner
cautiously approached the scene of his
discomfiture but hls quarry had flown.
Warner removed the furniture Into the
street arid It was carted away to the fur
nishing dealers.

GET BULL RUN WATER
Mount Tabor Company Supplied by
the "Water Board.
At the Water Board meeting last
Wednesday, the Mount Tabor Water
Company, of which J. 51. Arthur is pres
ident, submitted a request for a contin
uance of the arrangement whereby they
were allowed to draw not to exceed
0,000 gallons a day. The Board granted
the request with the proviso that the
supply may be cut off temporarily or
permanently within 24 hours' notice.
The Mount Tabor concern set forth in
Its petition that, owing to the fact 6t
two do seasons coming In succession,
the rains had not thus far increased
their supply sufficiently to meet the re
quirements of the territory dependent
upon them. They set forth further that
from their observation It appeared that
more water was actually running to
waste at reservoir No. 1 thanjthe entire
quantity their company consumed.
"The people that we are supplying
from reservoir No. 1 with Bull Run
water." recites the petition, "are all
within the new city boundary, and we
are not supplying Bull Run water to any
other customers. It will be several years
before the city will have the street

A. D. 1005, as a day of general thanks
giving and prayer. Our country has much.
Indeed, for which to be thankful. While war
and rumors of war. pestilence, earthquake and
famine have disquieted and disturbed some
of the peoples of the earth, and wome- than
all of these revolution and riot, born of
tyranny and persecution, have stained with
the blood of the Innocent and helpless the soil
of other countries and caused thrones of
mighty rulers to totter to their foundations.
purosperlty, peace and plenty have fallen to
the lot of our beloved country. Never in
the history of our own state have the people
been happier or more prosperous, and never
has there been a brighter outlook for future
growth and development.
Therefore I. George E. Chamberlain. Gov
ernor of the State of Oregon, by virtue of
the authority In me vested, do hereby st
apart Thursday, the 30th day of November.
A. D. 1005. as a day of thanksgiving, and
I request that the people of this magnificent
commonwealth do on tat day abstain from
their usual avocations and return thanks to
Almighty God for the blessings which he. In
his beneficent wisdom, has seen fit to be
stow. In witness whereof. I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the great seal of the state
to be hereunto affixed at the City of Salem,
this 0th day of November, in the year ol
sur Lord one thousand nine hundred and
Ave. GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN.
