THE MORNING OKEGOXIAN, 3IONDAX, DECEMBER 11, 1903. 13 PAYS HIGH TRITE Dr. Stephen S. Wise Speaks in Honor of Garrison. GIVES CENTENARY ADDRESS Discourse Before Young Men's Chris tian Association in Afternoon and People's Forum in the Evening. Dr. Stephen S. "Wise, who has just returned Xrom New York City, delivered an address yesterday afternoon before the Younf? Men's Christian Association upon "William Lloyd Garrison in observance of the centenary of his birth. Dr. Wise repeated the address In th evening before the People's Forum In the Elks' Hall, at the Marquam building;. Dr. "Wise began his discourse by comparing the services of Garrison with those of Lewis and Clark. He said in part: Like Lewis ana Clark. Garriron wri a pio neer, an explorer, a hero, a benefactor. While the exploration of Lewis and Clark lasted two yearn. Garrison's was the quest of a lifetime, a longer than 30 ycara warfare with the terrible forces of slavery; the undertaking f Garrison was fraught with greater peril, the greater peril which Is his who. facing vio lence knd evil, yet ncornft to arm himself nave with the weapons of the spirit, truth. Justice righteousness, love; greater than thooe of Lewla and Clark were his benefaction!", for they gave us terrltorlen. and he wrought mightier results who resurrected a race from the death of slavery to the life of liberty. ToUtol'K Great Tribute. A prophet of our own day. Toluol, fathom ing, as It were, the secret of Garrlnon's great work, rightly admeasures the grandeur of the man. In Garrison's lifelong resolution "to occupy the highest possible ground." Occu pying the highest possible ground, lmmedlat tm became his aim and nonrealetance his method. ImmedlatlFm. not gradualism, was the Rttltude of hl uncompromising conscience. Immediate and unconditional emancipation came tils demand his Immedlatism leading him to counsel the seeming treason of Na tional dissolution. No compromise or expedi ency or half-way measures for him, who was for laying the axe to the root, who, fear ing "to perpetuate by pruning the overgrown system of oppression." flamed forth In tho winged. Immortal words, "I am in earnest I will not equivocate I will not excuse I will not rc-treat a single Inch and I will be heard." The high expediency of Immedlatlsnv was the only expediency to which- he would give him self, hence amelioration d mitigation and alleviation and colonization were not for him whom liberation alone could eatlsfy. Dreamer. Hut Also Doer. Garrison, the dreamer, was alpo the doer. His head was In the clouds of hope and prom ise; his feet he planted upon the solid earth of realization and achievement. The native Idealism of his soul was almost matched by his purposeful resourcefulnen .and efficiency. First to have sounded the tocsin of abolition were enough to give him deathlem glory: for more than a generation he was first and greatest among those who labored that the race of slaves might go free. Garrtoon was a truth-speaker. Truth tell ing, plain dealing with men and measurof. was the passion of his days. He ppoke net to offend nor for victory, but for truth's Kake. There are those who ever seek to nersuade us, In the face of wrong and Injustice, that agitation tends to prolong and to perpetuate, rather than to exterminate, evil; that the la ttlo with the forces of wrong must ever be fought with caution and prudence and clr lumspectness. and that one mut-t be ever careful to distinguish between evil and the evil doer, between falsehood and the liar, between corruption and the thieves. He heard these counsels of over-nlec and superflno dis crimination and went his way unmoved, fore knowing that, if unmolested by education, slavery would flourish forever. He agitated all the time and In evory wason from the early '2rt! until the first of January. 18GTi. and the agitated defenders of wrong alone depre cated bis agitation as unwise and harmful. As for urging the war of extermination equably and calmly. Garrison came to hate the words caution, prudence. Judiciousness, and the one thing that he dreaded .more than another w"as that he might dilute or modify hln language against slavery. Ills Supreme Courage. William Lloyd Garrison was a man of su preme courage. He never knew fear, and danger never awed him who was stormproof, who was possessed of pine-and-faggot virtue, the unstooplng firmness of whose upright soul peril could not shake; not even the porll of the Boton mob which found him cheerful and happy and left his poise and serenity unbroken. Branded a an agitator. Incendiary, deluded fanatic, moral pestilence, culmlnator and en emy of his country, he calmly roplled. "1 so licit no man's praise. I fear no man's cen sure " Thrcatn of assassination could not frighten him. nor was he dlcmayed by the cries of yhmdor which oftlmes came from those who had been 'or who would fain have been his friend. The threat of foe couM not deter htm; the dispraise of friend could not move him; he feared only to do wrong and to countenance injustice. Alone he fought for the alone: and jet not alone, for two noble women . fought by his aide, his mother the sacrcdest memory of his life awl hl wife, who never counseled a lees personal exposure or a more moderate course of action on his part. Alone he stood sae for thew and the small number of elect aoul who stood with him. the women an nobly and unwearledly an the men. Honor and Immortality to the memory f the heroic fellow-workers of Garrison, few in number, jet an' Imperial company. liberty and Humanity. Liberty and humanity might have been hi watchword Liberty for all humanity hih! the higher humanity through liberty. To him. my country In the world, my countrymen are all mankind, was not a cosmopolitan vague ness and extravagance, as little as the Dec laration of Independence Is a series of mrwn lnglnvt generalities, but the expression ot his soul, who was a citizen of the world, a fel-iow-cltlten of the world ot men. Of all things else. William Lloyd Garrison was liberator, emancipator, breaker of chains,' looser of the bonds of men. restorer of lib erty. H1h was a genius of universal emanci pation, for no truer, greater liberator of men walked upon earth. He was the liberator above all elie and above all other men. Ho freed men lecause he wan a free man. Not alone was he the greatest of liberators, but no man hsd ever so liberated his soul and enfranchised his spirit as had Garrison. He abhorred bonds and fetters, gyves and chains, physical or intellectual, moral or racial, po litical or rellgloun. He had liberated himself from every prejudice and partisanship . and prepossession, save for truth and' Justice and righteousness. IJberator and liberated wan be In- the highest; in the vocabulary of his eoul, foreigner, alien. Inferior were not, who had so treed himself that to him man was man. Battle Is Eternal. Garrison's battle is not won, the war he wageA Is barely begun. Tor the battle for freedom Is eternal. Alas, that not even Gar rison's struggle for the negro Is ended. I am not thinking of the xnouthlngs and .the rav ings of a Dixon, but of the "thought berly put forth by a fkmtbern gentleman. Thomas Nlson Page, in his book on "The Negro" Flavery, whatever Its demerits, was not Jn Rs time the unmitigated evil It was fancied to have been. Its time is" past; no power could compel the South to have 4t back! Hut to the negro It was miration." We hear again or colonization In Liberia, of the negro not being a man. but an animal; the negro 1 disfranchised In the South, and the 35th amendment to the Constitution of the United etates Js disavowed In theory and repudiated In practice. Oh, for the voice of a Garrison to smite these traitors to the spirit of 76. these undoers of the blood-bought victories of 61 to '86. Let t rive to mak our own Uvea wortliy nt the memory of William Lloyd Garrteon, liberator of a race, uncompromising foe to j wrong, untcrrlflable defender of the right, champion of the world's oppressed and down trodden, prophet or peace, gospeller of love, apostle of the glorious liberty of the sons of God. our fellow-man and our fellow-America a what potential nobleness of peerage!

CARPENTER, cashier of the First National Bank, at Burns, Or., is a guest at the Imperial Hotel, en rouc home from an extended visit in the .East. Mr. Carpenter was for merly of "Washington. D. C but ho became bo heavily Intorcsted in East ern Orcgo.n that he decided to make hin home there. "I would not be afraid to bet that I have answered 100,000 questions dur ing my- recent trip to the East, and nearly all of them pertained to Ore gon. Raid Mr. Carpenter at the Im perial Hotel yesterday afternoon. "When I was introduced from Oregon I immediately found myself a target for innumerable questions. The money men of the East are particularly in terested in Oregon and nay they feel assured that It will experience re markable development within the next two or three years. From the inter est that was displayed I am Inclined to believe that vast amounts of East ern capital will be Invested in thlB state next year. The men with whom I talked Invariably asked about the proposed' railroads and the new coun try that would be opened up. "Only a few years ngo, when I was East, Oregon was little heard of, and very few persons seemed to think it amounted to much as a state. But now it is all changed and I think that it is due to the Lewis and Clark Expo sition. I was approached by a good many newspaper men during the trip, being attracted to me by the reason that I registered from Oregon. t t lytOB ABLY more than half of tho r convicts at the State Peniten tiary are addicted to the cigarette habit," said Superintendent C. W. James, at the Imperial Hotel yester day. "The cigarette habit Is very prev alent among the criminals and it is rather difficult to break them of it When the prisoners are in their cells they are allowed to smoke whatever they 'desire, and If the use of the cigar ette were prohibited I believe they would be very discontented. They are not allowed to buy ready-made cigars but they can get the tobacco and pa pers. "Many of the convicts, when they come to tite penitentiary, are cigarette fiends and want to be smoking ail tho time. By strict discipline we soon break them of incessant smoking and they become accustomed to working" without cigarettes. Some of the pris oners make their money for the pur chase of tobacco and papers by carving and manufacturing little knick-knacks and souvenirs during their leisure hours, which they sell to the visitors, and many of them get money from their friends on the outside. m CAME near being a farmer once 1 upon a time, but, as usual, luck was agalnnt me. said the clerk in one of the cigar stores when there was a lull in his business, "AtUhat time I had several thousand dollars, and 1 made up my mind to buy a farm down in Idaho. "I got in the clutches of a smooth real estate agent nnd. of course, he had some 'bargains' that were Just what I wanted. There was one farm that Appealed to me particularly and 1 was stuck on It from the very start. The real estate agent told me tha several other persons wanted the same property and if 1 wanted It I had better not spread the news broadcast, 1 kept still and just before closing the deal took one final look over the ground. "In many different places on the farm I noticed white blotches and I Immediately inquired what It was. Oh, that is where they have salted the sheep in the "Winter. said the agent and gave a laugh as though lie was surprised at my Ignorance. Well, bought the ranch and plowed the land all up and sowed it in alfalfa. I immediately made an Investigation and discovered, with the help of my neighboring farmers, that my land was all alkali. The white blotches where they 'salted the sheep were alkali, and I soon found out that I had been buncoed. I-nter. I ascertained that this same real csetate agent had sold that same property to four different would-be farmers. I sold It for less than one-tenth of what I paid for it. and it later fell back Into the hands of the same agent. The last I hear a they were still salting sheep on the land and the same slick real estate agent was still selling it to suckers." 4f"THE people of Ashland have the I municipal ownership, and- they have got it bad." said J. M. Potter, edi tor of the Ashland Tribune, at the Per kins Hotel last night, "For some time we have had our own waterworks sys tem and It has been very successful and profitable. Now. the question of pur chasing the electric light system Is being agitated, and 1 think It will bo carried through. At least all the pres ent indications look that way. Tho city has been offered th,e system foi J64.000. and the present administration is In favor of accepting the preposi tion." Flowing "Well nt Ashland. ASHLAND. Or..

The weather was clear, too. leaving nothing to pre vent the best possible speed. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning the steamer crossed the Columbia River bar. and this other wise unruly stretch of brine was so calm as to barely cause any perceptible motion of the craft, save that produced by the pounding of the machinery and the churn ing of the wheel. At 5 o'clock the steamer was fast at the Astoria dock and by 6:20 she was again on her way to Portland.

SeUta Br Pate: Deeae't Saaart, m Milw.aukie Man Tells How to Care for Vineyards. PERFECT FRUIT IS GROWN J. F. Broctje, Speaking Before Even ing Star Granite, Details 3Icthod Employed and Care Acces sary to Success. J. F. Broetje. of Mll-rankl. has dem csMrated that srapes can be grown In Oreson uccefully and with profit. If latelllsent care and prudence are ex ercised In pruning and handling the vines. He has publWid booklet on the nubject of arape culture, which are earerly arcxht by farmers who want to raaks a rucceea of vineyard In this state. Ilia remarks before the farm era Institute held in Evcnlnr Star G ranee Halt the peat week commanded close attention. On the subject of 'Grape Culture" J. F. Broetje. of Mllwaukie. made the" follow ing remarks "before the farmers Insti tute, the past week: "Grape culture In this part of the Will amette Valley Is pretty welL established. "We grow enough good grapes here to supply the home market, but.there la still room for more. The kinds that ao oest hr. r.. HMt are the Concord. Wor- den. Niagara. Campbell's Early and a few others. They are quite naruy ana noi much affected by mllldew. But as the wiiiw nf rrnnHnr- rood cranes depends on the pruning and treatment of the vines, the principle ot wnicn is not un derstood by a great many. I will try here to gtve a few explanations. The kinds of grapevines we grow here are long Jointed and require a good deal of space. They are best grown on wire trellis. Grapes are produced only on the young canes that were grown from lap, year's growth. All shoots that have come from older wood are not good, but they may be cut back to two buds, and these will make good bearing canes for next year. How to Handle the Vine. "The bearing canes have to be taken from below, from about two feet or a little more above ground, and left long enough fro be tied to the upper wire In a slanting way in the shape of a fan. With eich cane Is left a spur with two bud? that will produce bearing canes for the next year. If the spurs and bearing canes are carefully watched we will al ways be sure that every hud that Is left will be fertile and produce fruit. Grape vines that are strong enough are pruned to four canes, more or less, which de pends on the -strength of the vine, with as many spurs below, and will produce in average about 15 to 25 pounds of grapes, each. This- way of pruning Is called the renewing system. There are other ways. of pruning, which may have their good points, but the renewing system seems to be the most satisfactory. Summer Pruning; Explained. "The Summer pruning, too, is very important. The rising sap in Spring, tha feeds the young: sprouts which are pitching out. is forced upward with great pressure and is always greatest at the upper ends, and here Is always he fastest growth. Now, as soon as long enough the young sprouts are pinched off at the ends with thumb and linger. leaving one leaf above the up per floworbuds. The lower sprouts are pinched a few days later as they come a little slower. The upper shoot of the spur below Is not pinched, because they are wanted for bearing canes for next year. Also one of the lower shoots of the bearing cane may be left untouched, as they may be wanted next Spring. Now, after a short while the laterals, or side shoots, will be pushing out, opposite the young fruit. Those must not be taken off, but have to be pinched back again to one or two leaves. Feed for the Young Frttit. "These leaves are necessary to help to feed the young fruit. Allow me to remind you here, that nil the food that nourishes the plants and fruit is first prepared in t.he leaves, which draw the nutriment from the air and by its roots from the earth. Now In order to have perfect fruit, our vines must have plenty of good, healthy foliage. Later if the laterals push out again, they should be pinched back as before. leav ing one leaf. Sometime in July the bearing ctnes for noxt year may be shortened and all rank growth should be checked and all growth that comes out from below on the stem must be removed. Somebody may say: 'We don't take ao much trouble in Summer with our grapevines and have just as good grapes.' This may be true. But we will sec in a few years. I have told that the greatest force of growth is at the upper ends and if the growth here is not checked. hc bearing canes from below, for the next Spring, will not develop so well or may fall entirely. "In pruning agnin the next Spring, we will have to take good bearing canes from farther up. and every years a little farthus till wc get to where? I have seen grapevines that were overlapping each' other to the third vine. In pruning the grapevines In Summer the way I explained, tho grapes will always have the finest flavor and be of best quality and ripen in due time. Too rank growth should be avoided, but If the soil should get exhausted, some fertilizer may be used. ADDITIONS TO LIBRARY. Books "Which Arc Ttccommcnded for Use of Children.
