MAYOR LANE'S
ANNUAL MESSAGE
Recommendations to Heads
of Municipal Depart
ments Are Made.
SALIENT POINTS ARE GIVEN
Police and Health Are Features of
Administration Upon Which the
Chief Executive Dwells at
Length in Document.
Mayor Lane's flrat annual message to
the City Council was given to the public
yesterday. It Is a document containing
about COW words and deals generally -with
recommendations to heads of municipal
departments. Speaking of the police force
he says:
In a gwwal way I have to say that the
work ot the police force of the city has been
good during the past year. "With, an added
population of many thousands during the Ex
position the peace and pod order of the city
was well maintained and received much fa
vorable comment from our visitors, and great
credit la due to the entire force for that re
sult. The ordinances of the city are being, on the
wholr. well and thoroughly enforced. "While
the box ordinance, the ordinance requiring the
closing of saloons at 1 o'clock A. M., the
ordinance agalnnt gambling and the ordinance
against that paranlte class known as the
macquereaur are now being enforced to the
letter, the enforcement of all other ordinances
has not been neglected. The ofCiccr of this
department have been Instructed that the or
dinances of this city are enacted by the Coun
cil In the expectation that they will be strict
ly enforced. The unvarying rule that neither
"fear nor favor" Is to be shown to any person
or class In the community In the enforcement
of the laws has been brought to the notice
of every officer and patrolman In the employ
of the city. This rule i a Just one and should
put the "force" upon a high plane of .ef
ficiency. At any rate, whether It does or
does not. It Is the only rule which will be
allowed to govern under the present adminis
tration. Of the Health Department the Mayor
says:
Annexed hereto Is the report of the Health
Officer, and, as may be seen by hto report, the
health of the city has been good, notwithstand
ing the great Influx of strangers to attend the
Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, when
more than 2,500,000 admissions were registered
during the past Summer. It Is a pleasure to
be able to say truthfully that Portland Is
one of the most healthful cltiea In the world,
and with one exception has the lowest death
rate of any city in the United States.
This is due In the main to the even mild
ness of our climate and the purity of our
water supply. That these conditions may con
tinue and our record be not broken, careful
legislation Is necessary more completely to or
ganize the Health Department for a city
already beautiful and soon to be great.
I am quite certain that it your honorable
body should organize this department along
the lint suggested that very shortly this city
would take rank as being the most healthful
and with the lowest death rate of any, perhaps.
In the world. With our beautiful scenery and
equable climate, a residence In this city would
coon be considered a thing to be sought after,
and the result would be a matter "of financial
benefit as well as personal pride to every resi
dent of the city.
A detention hospital for the care, of cases
Huspected of being ill with Infectious dlaeases
Is badly needed. During the late slight epi
demic of smallpox the City Physician was put
to much Inconvenience for the lack of a place
where cases could be kept under Inspection
for a few days, and at the same time not
be exposed to direct Infection. One cafe, ow
ing to an error In diagnosis upon the part of
the family physician, found Its way to the
peathouse, where a few days' observation
proved It to be but a cae of Innocent ekln
eruption. Such experiences are not pleasant
and may at any time prove expensive to the
city.
Both the Chief of Police and the Health
Officer call attention to the need of an emer
gency hospital. It is nothing less than cruel
and at times Inhuman to have the Innocent
victim of an accident locked up in a cell
awaiting his return to consciousness to estab
lish the fact that he was not deeply Intoxi
cated at the time ot arrest. There are no
facilities at the Jail for the care of uch
cases or for such emergency surgical coses as
are continually being brought to the elation,
and some provision should be made for them.
Discussing the question of municipal
civil service, the Mayor says:
It seems to me that there should be & common-sense
method, of examining applicant for
positions In the public hervlce. Capacity and
ntners are the real questions to be determined
and it is Impossible to determine this by a
purely academic standard. It is my belief that
If applicants for the public service are se
lected on account of their experience and
practical capacity, without reference to their
political or religlouH beliefs, that the spirit
as well as the letter of the law has been
complied with. In my opinion, if the Civil
Service Commissioners do not adopt the best
method ot selecting employes for the public
sen-Ice they have failed in the performance
of the duties of the position to which they
were appointed and have failed to carry out
the spirit as well as the letter of the law.
The plans of the administration are thus
et forth:
It may be as well to state briefly the gen
eral plan of administration of the city's af
fairs which I have set out to pursue to far
as they relate to that portion which has been
entrusted to me.
I shall deem the eaual execution of the city's
laws as they exist upon the ordinance book
to all alike, both rich and -poor, without fear
or favor, so far as in my power lies, the mat
ter of first consideration.
The welfare of the public and it Interests
will be considered of greater Importance than
the gain of the private Individual at all times.
Public franchises of public streets should
never be parted with without full and proper
compensation being made to the public, to
whom they belong.
An exact enforcement of all contracts be
tween the city and all others to the end that
neither the city nor the contractor suffer any
Injustice.
To accomplish this I am quite willing to meet
more than half way all efforts in these direc
tions upon your part.

Th"! tmpl which Is Just being. completed for the "Women of Woodcraft at Tenth and Taylor streets Is among the
handsomest of the buildings devoted to the use of the various fraternal organizations In Portland. The plans were drawn
with a view to giving the structure a very attractive appearance on the exterior and at the rarne time give the Interior a
most convenient arrangement for lodge purpose. The building represents an ou tlay of about $40,000. The plans were
laid largely under the direction of J. X. Wright, grand clerk of the organization.

dam, reft of Its power for good. The whol
position of the churches Is Involved in this
question, for the steadily waning Influence of
church and synagogue Is due In no small
part. I hold, to the widespread belief that
the pulpit is not free, and that It Is "sub
ject to and under the control'' of those offi
cers and members of church or synagogue
who, for any reason, are powerful In Us
councils. The question, therefore. "Shall
the pulpit be free or shall it not be freer Is
of Infinitely greater moment than the ques
tion of the occupancy of your pulpit by any
man whosoever, and It Is the deep convic
tion that this is so that has impelled me,
now that any thought of a direct relation
between us Is definitely set aside, to address
you In earnest language as men equally con
cerned with myself In the well-being and
Increasing power of our beloved religion.
rulplt N'ot to B Muziled.
When a committee of Ave, constituting a
majority of the board of trustees of the con
gregation, came to me for the purpose ot
ascertaining whether a call to occupy your
pulpit would be accepted, and. If accepted,
upon what terms, I stated that I had but
one stipulation to make with respect to the
terms of such call, and that I was ready to
leave everything else to the Judgment of the
board of trustees and the members of the
congregation, merely adding that a written
contract ought not to be deemed necessary
between a congregation and Its minister. The
one stipulation I made in the following
words: "If I am to accept a call to the pul
pit of Temple Emanu-El, I do so with the
understanding that I am to be free, and that
my pulpit is not to be muzzled." I made nc
other stipulation; upon this I insisted. Coun
sels of prudence, which were urged upon me.
suggested that I should have taken this free
dom Tor granted, but viewing the manner In
which my btlpulation was met by the mem
bers of the committee. I deem it most fortu
nate that I anticipated the situation which
has arisen. My stipulation that, if I were
to occupy the pulpit of Emanu-El. I must
be free, was met by the statement ot the
committee since formulated In the appended
letter, "the pulpit shall always be subject
to and under the control of the board of
trustees," which statement of the committee
was not disavowed at either of two subse
quent meetings of the board of trustees, held
December 4, 11)05, and January 2, lflOG. Be
tween this position and my own conception
of the pulpit, as laid down In my stipula
tion, there is an Irreconcilable difference. It
was Indeed held by some members of the
committee that the phrase, "the pulpit shall
always be subject to and under the control
,of the board ot trustees" was "an .empty
formula," or "a mere figure of speech,"
which Interpretation, however, the chairman
of the committee at once emphatically dis
avowed. Even though this phrase were ad
mitted to be an empty formula. 1 would still
be under the moral necessity of refuting to
maintain a fiction of making a compact In
terms of falsehood to teach in a place dedi
cated to truth. But how can a form of
words so threatening to the liberty of a
minister of religion be regarded as a mere
figure of speech? The very fact that It was
Insisted upon Is evidence that It was not In
tended as a formula, and. It It be intended
seriously, as It clearly Is. I have only to re
peat that no self-respecting minister of re
ligion could consider a call to the pulpit ot a
church or synagogue on such terms. Such
a formula, taken under any construction
that may be put upon It, is not chiefly hu
miliating to me. who unequivocally reject
its terms, but much more humiliating to the
congregation In the name of which such
terms are offered.
"Rabbi Must Give Way."
For let us consider the obvious meaning
of the words "the pulpit aball always be
subject to and under the control of the
board of trustees" in the light of the para
graph of the communication appended, which
reads: "The logical consequence of a con
flict of Irreconcilable views between the rabbi
and the board of trustees Is that one or tbs
other must give way. Naturally, It must be
the rabbi. It goes without saying, there
fore, that at such a Juncture he should have
the privilege of resigning. His failure to
exercise that option necessarily implies an
acquiescence by him In the views of the
board of trustees." It Is not said that In
the event of a conflict of Irreconcilable
views between the rabbi and a majority ot
the members of the congregation the rabbi
must give way, but that the acceptance of
the terms "the pulpit shall always be sub
ject to, and under the control of, the board
of trustees' Implies acquiescence on the part
of the rabbi In the views of the board ot
trustees In the event of a conflict of Irre
concilable views between him and them, or
the necessity of exercising the "option" or
"privilege" of resigning. Th board of trus
tees thus assert for themselves In the last
analysis the custodianship of the spiritual
convictions of the congregation. When I
asked the members of the committee to
define the terms "subject to and under the
control of the board ot trustees," the sams
thought was expressed by them In saying
that. If some members ot the congregation
should differ from my views as expressed In
the pulpit and should make representation to
that effect to the board ot trustees, the lat
ter would expect me either to alter, or to be
silent touching the views to which objection
had been raised. Stated more simply, the
rabbi, whose whole life is given to the study
of and preoccupation with religion and
morals, must always hold his views subject
to revision or ratification at the hands of
the board of trustee, or ot any number,
howsoever small, ot the members of the
congregation having sufficiently formidable
Influence with the board ot trustees. In
other words, the mere fact that a certain
number, not necessarily a majority, of th
members of the congregation, or certain
members of the board of trustees, might ob
ject to his views is to compel retraction,
silence or resignation, without the slightest
guarantee that reason and right are on the
aide of the objectors. The mere statement
1 of the case Is Its own severest condemnation.
Pulpit Not Free Is Impeteat.
A. fundamental error underlies the posi
tion set forth In the communication here
with appended with respect to the office of
the ministry. The chief office of the minis
ter, I take It. is not to represent the views
of th congregation, but to proclaim the
truth as he sees it. How can he serve a con
gregation as a teacher xave as he quickens
the minds of his hearers by the vitality and
Independence of his utterances? But, bow
can a man be vital and independent and
helpful. It he be tethered and muzzled? A
free pulpit, worthily filled, must command
respect and Influence: a pulpit that la not
tree, howsoever filled. Is sure to be without
potency and honor. A free pulpit will some
times stumble into error; a pulpit that Is not
free can never powerfully plead for truth and
righteousness. In the pursuit of the duties
of his office, the minister may from time to
time be under the necessity of Riving expres
sion to vl!ws at variance with the views of
some, or even many, mtmbtrx of the congre
gation. Far from such difference proving
the pulpit to be In the wrong. It may be.
and ofUmes Is, found to signify that the
pulpit has done Its duty In calling evil evil
and good good. In abhorring the moral
wrong of putting light for darkness and
darkness for light, and In scorning to limit
Itself to the utterance of what the prophet
has styled "smooth things." lest variance of
views arise. Too great dread there way bo
of secession on the part of some members
of a congregation, for. after all. difference
and disquiet, even schism at the worst, are
not so much to be feared as that attitude of
the pulpit which never provokes dissent be
cause It Is cautious rather than courageous,
peace-loving rather than prophetic, time
serving rather than right-serving. The min
ister it not to be the spokesman of the
congregation, not the message-bearer of the
congregation, but the bearer of a raesage
to the congregation. What the contents of
that message shall be must be left to the
conscience and understanding and loyalty of
him In whom a congregation places sufficient
confidence to elect him to minister to It,
Minister Is Not Infallible.
In the course of the conferences held be
tween the committee and the writer. It was
urged that the pulpit has no tight to demand
exemption from criticism. The minister in
Israel does not regard his utterances as in
fallible. No minister will refuse to correct
an opinion though he will take the utmost
pains to achieve correctness in substance and
form before speaking when reasons are ad
vanced to convince him of his error. Nor
will he fail to welcome criticism and invite
difference of opinion to the end that truth .
may be subserved. "The pulpit halt always 1
be subject to. amd under the control of. the
board of trustees." In the light of the Inter
pretation afforded by the subjoined com
munication, implies something radically dif
ferent from the view that the minister Is not
above criticism. Namely, the teacher of re
ligion and ethics must bend before the
brute arbltrlum of any opinion, which the
majority of the board of trustees or any
chance group of members of the congrega
tion may hold, providing it be In Irrecon
cilable conflict with his own. To declare
j that In the event of a conflict of Irrecon
cilable views between the minuter ana tne
board of trustees. It Is the minister who
must yield and not the board. Is to assert the
right not to criticise the pulpit, but to silence
Its occupant, and, above all. to imply that
the board ot trustees are always sure to be
In the right, or else that the convictions of
the board of trustees shall stand, whether
right or wrong, and that the minister must
acquiesce In these convictions, right or
wrong, or else exercise the "option" and
"privilege" of resigning.
The Jewish minister. I repeat, does not
speak fx cathedra, and bis views are not
supposed to have a binding force upon the
congregation to which he minister. He is
to expresn his convictions on any subject that
oomes within the purview of retigloa and
ethic, but tfaeoe convictions do not purport
to constitute a creed or dogma to which a
congregation must in whole or In part sub
scribe. But the board ot trustees asserts the
right to define and to formulate the vlewo in
which the rabbi must acquiesce, or. falling to
acquiesce therein, resign. Let us aesume for
a moment that It were possible for the board
of trustees to come to an agreement with re
spect to Its convictions upon Reform Judaism
for which Temple Emanu-El may fairly be
ald to stand, though theoc convictions cannot
be ascertained and reduced to unity rave In the
broadetft sense. Let us. furthermore, assume
that my convictions are substantially In ac
cord with those held by the present board of
trustees. Is it not clear that under the terms
"the pulpit shall always be subject to and
under the control of the board of trustees,"
the rabbi may In time be called upon to acqui
esce In views ot the board of trustees 'at
variance with those held by them today. Not
only Is the rabbi expected to sign away his
present Independence, but to mortgage his In
tellectual and moral liberty for the future.
Stated In briefest possible terras, the rabbi
Is asked to subscribe to a statement of pres
ent and future convictions of the board of
trustees. The demand Is put forth that he
subscribe to a blank page the contents ot
which are to be determined, net on the basis
ot his understanding ot and loyalty to the
teachings of his religion, but by "tbt- views
of the board of trustees." This is Indeed to
attempt to rob the pulpit of every vestige of
freedom and Independence. X am asked to
point the way and my hands are tied? X am
asked to go before and my feet are fettered.
Rabbi Must Give Way.
It Is idle rhetoric to say, as does the com
munication appended, that the words, "the
pulpit shall always be subject to and under
the control of the board of trustees, "do not
mean that the board ot trustees win call upon
any Incumbent of our pulpit to sacrifice or
surrender his principles or con-lctlons," In
the face of the menacing declaration immedi
ately following that. In the event of a con
flict ot Irreconcilable views between the rabbi
and the board of trustees, the rabbi must nat
urally give way, his failure to exercise the
option of resigning necessarily implying acqul
encedce by him In the views of the board of
trustees. If I could bring myself to accept
a call to the pulpit of Emanu-El upon such
terms, and this Is unthinkable, the board of
trustees would never find It necessary to call
upon, mo to surrender my convictions, for
assent on my part to the stipulation, "tho
pulpit shall always be subject to and under
the control ot the board of trustees," would
Involve such a sacrifice of principles aa would
leave me no convictions worthy of "the name
to surrender at any subsequent behest of the
board of trustees. It Is equally meaningless
to declare that "la the past this haa never
led to any friction between our rabbis and
our board of trustees." Where a rabbl Is re
duced to the choice of acquiescence In views,
right or wrong, because held by the board of
trustees, or of silence, friction Is Impossible
The absence ot friction In the past between
the rabbis and the board of trustees of Temple
Emanu-El proves that either the pulpit has
been circumspect or that It has been so ef
fectually muzzled that even protest was Im
possible on the part ot aa occupant who had
subscribed to such coodlUoas. A third possi
bility obtains that the board of trustee has
had the. forbearance of tho angels with the
occupants of the pulpit Insofar as they have
not abused the power which they claim as
their own. As for the forbearance of an
gels, which has possibly been theirs. I wish
to make clear that I would not deliver my
conscience into the keeping of the angels. My
conscience Is my own.
In It an Unwritten law?
Finally, to hold that the subjection ot the
pulpit to and Its control by the board of
trustees Is a written or unwritten law ot th
congregation Is to maintain that the pulpit
of Emanu-El never has been free, and this,
I am sure, does not accord with the memories
that stilt remain alive In me and In others
of high-minded. Independent, revered teachers,
who have occupied that pulpit. One of the
former occupants I have Intimately known,
and were he living today he would repudiate
the claim that he had for many years been
the occupant of a pulpit which was not trie.
I have sought to do you the Justice ot help
ing you to realize the seriousness of the situ
ation which you face. This situation. I be
ileve, you have not planned; Into it you have,
however, permitted yourstlves to drift. That
this appeal to the spirit of my people at Its
highest shall not have been made In vain
is my hope, for the sake of our religion,
which a free pulpit alone can truly serve.
X am, faithfully yours.
STEPHEN S. WISE.
The letter from the committee of in
quiry referred to by Dr. Wise follows:
New York. Dec 1. 1000.
Dear Doctor: At your request, I am form
ulating the substance of what was mid to
you last evening by the committee of Inquiry
appointed by the, board of trustees of con
gregation EroanU'El.
The committee waited upon you, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether or not. in the
event that It should be con-Iuded by the board
ot trustees and the congregation, to extend
to you a call to occupy our pulpit. In conjunc
tion with Its present incumbent, Itev. Joseph
Silverman, ich call would be accepted.
In making this Inquiry, It was stated to you
by the committee that la view of the tradi
tions of the congregation and out of consid
erations of the church policy which had al
ways prevailed therein. It was considered as a
necessary condition, applicable to any incum
bent of the office of rabbi In the congrega
tion, that the pulpit should always be subject
to and under the control of the board of trus
tees. This wan considered to be particularly
Important, In view of the circumstance, that
the requirements of the congregation were such
as to render It essential that there should be
two Incumbents of Its pulpit, of equal rank
and performing Identical functions.
It Is fair to say that this announcement of
our congregational law Is not a mere figure
of speech or an empty formula, although In
the past It has never led to any friction be
tween our rabbis and our board of trustees.
It dees not mean that the board of trustees
will call upon any Incumbent ot our pulpit to
sacrifice or surrender h!a principles -or convic
tion. The converse or the proposition Is equally
Important that the board of trustees shall
not and will not sacrifice or surrender the
principles or the convictions which It offi
cially represents. The logical consequence of
a conflict of Irreconcilable views between the
rabbl and the board of trustees Is that one
or the other must give way. Naturally. It
must be the rabbl. It goes without raylnr.
therefore, that at such a Juncture he should
have the privilege of resigning. Ills failure
to exercise that option necessarily Implies an
acquiescence by him In the views of the board
of trustees.
Our Insistence upon the phraseology which
I have employed and which Is a mere adoption
of the terms In which the unwritten law of
the congregation la couched. Is based upon
the Idea that it is but fair to the rabbl and
to the congregation that both shall understand
at the outlet the nature of the contract whfch
exists between thrm, and that the former shall
enter Into the pact with his eyes open, to
that he may never have occasion to complain
should a difference ever arise, that he was
placed In the "position of either sacrificing bis
principles or of becoming a martyr to what
he may pqsslbly describe as the Intolerance
of the board of trustees.
The committee likewise believes that without
in any way detracting from the dignity of
the rabbl or of the congregation, both of co
equal Importance, whatever understanding Is
reached between them, should be perpetuated
by some form ot writing, whether It be by
correspondence, memorandum or formal agree
ment. The very fact that In our several con
ferences there has arinen the necessity of de
fining the language used by the respective con
ferees Indicates tbe wisdom of such a course.
With best regards, I am. very truly your.,
LOUIS MARSHAL!-

Harry Orchard Is Bound by a
. Net of Evidence.
STEUNENBERG HIS VICTIM
Detectives Trace Bombs to Accused
Man's Boom Ex-Govcrnor Had
Premonition Death Awaited
Him, and Was Troubled.
BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 5. (Special.-) The
chain of evidence against Harry Orchard,
alias Thomas Hogan, In the ex-Governor
Steunenberg murder case Is growing rap
idly link by link. There is no doubt In
the minds of officials or of citizens that
the man Li. guilty of manufacturing, and
placing the bomb which caused the death
of the ex-Governor, but the evidence so
far Is all circumstantial.
"The evidence which we are now able
to submit." said Captain Swain today.
"Is that which I believe will convict this
man of the assassination of Frank Steun
enberg before any fair-minded Jury, but
we are going to take no chances or leave
no possible loopholes that could possibly
admit of his escape. There Is additional
evidence to be had. and we will get It.
It Is now fully believed by the members
of the family that Frank Steunenberg
had some sort of Intimation of a plot
against his life, and It Is thought that
he had been warned that ho would not
live to see a new year. This theory Is
not authenticated by any word of the
deceased before his death, nor by anony
mous letter or note found In his effects,
although a thorough search of his late
letters has been made for such evidence.
This theory is based upon his peculiar
and extraordinary actions during Friday
evening and Saturday. Mrs. Stcunen
berg says that the Friday night before
tho murder her husband's mind rnust cer
tainly have been troubled with some un
usual matter, for he appeared nervous
and could not sleep. He tossed about in
bed, and finally arose, his wife accom
panying him. They lighted the lamp and
read several passages of Scripture be
fore retiring.
Captain W. S. Swain has Increased his
private force here by the addition of two
men belonging to his Spokane force, and
Is sparing no efforts or expense to appre
hend and gather evidence to convict
every man connected with this murder.
He expressed a belief that he will be ul
timately successful, but believes that the
task before him Is a large one. "It will
take hard work and time," he said.
It Is hinted, although the report Is not
confirmed, that Orchard's attorneys will
try to prove that he Is Insane, and that
the deed Is the result of the planning of
his diseased brain. It Is regarded by the
officers, however, as highly Improbable
the defense will take such a course. This
report probably started from the fact
that a letter was received from a for
mer warden of the Colorado State Insane
Asylum at Pueblo, which stated that he
believed Orchard had formerly been an
Inmate of that Institution. This warden
wrote from Denver, and requested that
Orchard's photograph be forwarded to
him for Identification.

SUFFERED AGONIES
R YEARS
Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh
Tried Different Physicians and
All Kinds of Ointments Could
Waik Only With Crutches Ohio
Man Says :
" CUTICURA REMEDIES
THE BEST ON EARTH"
"In the year 1S99 the side of my
right foot was cut off from the little
toe down to the heel, and the physician
jjfj'Si. who had charge of me
was tmng to sew up
the sicle of my foot,
but with no success.
When he found out
that wouldn't work,
he began trying to
heal the wound with
all kinds of ointment,
.until at last mv whole
foot and way up
above my calf was
nothing but proud
flesh. I suffered un
told agonies for four years, and tried
different physicians and all kinds of oint
ments. I could walk only with crutches.
It is sixteen months ago since I began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment for
my limb and foot. The first two
months the Cuticura Remedies did not
aeem to work, but I kept on using them
both. In two weeks afterwards I saw a
change in my limb. Then I began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often dur
ing the day and kept it up for seven
months, when my limb was healed up
just the same as if I never had trouble.
"It is eight months now since I
stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the
best on Gods earth. I am working
at the present day, after five yeara
of suffering. The cost of Cuticura
Ointment and Soap was only 6;
but the doctors' bills were more like
$600. You can publish my name and
refer any one to write to mo about
Cuticura Remedies. I "will answer all
letters if postage is enclosed. John M.
Lloyd, 718 S. Arch Ave., Alliance, Ohio,
June 27, 1905."
