JUVENILE COURT PROBLEMS
When parents begin to take greater 1
care and Interest In their children, the ;
Juvenile Court will not he so busy as
' it is at present. To counteract effectually i
bad home influence is a never-ending
problem with Judge Fraaer and his offi
cers, and in the cases which come before
him daily, there is invariably occasion to
lecture the parents more than the. chil
dren, specially is thi8 true in cases
of moral degeneracy in little girls, and in
Instances of small children being declared
. dependents on account o lack of care
by parents and horrible conditions in the
home.
Many Serious Problems.
There is nothing more distressing than
' the troubles of an innocent little child
the child unconscious of the great dan-
gers which beset it on every side. The
dally programme of the Juvenile Court
is. fraught with heart-rending episodes
which would melt a heart of stone, and
n his effort to surround the children of
Portland with proper Influence, have
them educated and trained into the good
citizens which the future of Oregon de
mands. Judge Frazer is doing a noble
work. The past year has amply demon
strated that even Portland, which ,1s sup
posed to be practically free from the.
. mean poverty and destitution which is
ever present in large cities, has sufficient
" work to be done to keep a court at its
wits' end to meet the exigencies of the
case. But the officers with which Judge
Frazer has surrounded himself, while in
sufficient in number, are the most capable
to be found in the land, and they are
successfully coping with many serious
situations."
Case of Baxter Family.
The Baxter family has been well known
tn nmrrr Hftwltrf for many years, and
viicn thr Juvenlln Court received a com
plaint that the three young children of
the family were being raised amid un
suitable surroundings, he knew Just what
it meant, and, in company with Sirs. M.
E. Daggett, the newly appointed Bailiff,
visited the scow In which tney live, junia
the filthiest conditions in which human
beings could possibly exist, a drunken
hag of a mother lying on a heap of rags
asleeD. and a 16-year-oid aaugntcr carry
nar her illegitimate child in her arms
the same girl who, at 13, was ruined by
her own unnatural parent tnree Drignt,
nrettv children were found. Had they
been in the window of a burning building
their condition could not have appealed
more to the visitors. And yet the mother
hag was not willing to give them up.
She wanted to raise her little girl to go
in the same steps her -older daughter had
gone: wanted her to remain and witness
her nightly drunken carousals with hood
lums of the neighborhood, and grow up
in filth, vice and ignorance. She was also
- unwilling that her two little boys should
be raised In a pure atmosphere "where
' they would develop Into educated, law'
abiding -citizens. Instead of criminals
Her wishes in the matter, however.
were not considered, and the family was
cited to appear in the Juvenile Court the
next dav with the children. None of
them appeared Friday evening, so war
rants have been Issued for the arrest
of the parents.
Cruelty Is Charged.
The little woman who threatened to
brain big Deputy Sheriff Parrott with an
ax Tecently, was a mild proposition com
.pared with Mrs. B , who lost her tem
per, and, incidentally, her freedom for
the night, in the presence of the court,
last Wednesday. A complaint came in to
,the effect that this over-zealous individ
ual had a playful habit of lifting her
little children by the hair of the head
and practicing other cruel pranks upon
them. The -names she applied to these
children, her divorced husband and her
rrtder daughters were also most offen
sive to the good citizens who lived near
the U residence, and the" repetition
gl.Ycn.by her in the courtroom was enough
for Judge Frazer. One did not have to
be from Missouri to be satisfied that the
charges were true, , and as the -dame's
anger waxed warmer the court ordered
her to jail for the night. It took two
policemen to handle her. but the next
morning she was in a more quiet state
of mind and came out without assistance.
Her - elder daughters have left homa of
their own will, and the young children
have been taken charge of by the court.
It is probable that they will be turned
over to their father, who appears to be
a worthy man, and who lives In another
part of the state.
Madam O. was awfully French when the
court wanted her to explain why she
drank and kept bad company while her
husband is. at sea. She couldn't speak a
tingle word of English, and as no one
present seemed to be very fluent In French
it looked for a while that the case was
going to-be a one-sided affair. Witnesses
testified,, however, that Madam's home
was nor surrounded with a Sunday school
atmosphere, and -that her two little boys,
ilthough - well cared for, beautifully
Iressed and much loved by their mother,
were being .reared in unsuitable surround
ings.. "Well I guess we shall have to take the

Founder of Religion;.
The second of a series of sermons on
Christian Science wag delivered last night
by Dr. -A. A. Morrison, at Trinity ;Eplsco
pallChureh. The speaker took up the sub
ject where he -discontinued the. previous
Sunday, dealing with the personality of
Mrs. Eddy and attacking her claims as
the-founder of Christian Science.
"The entire organization of Christian

and the remark had a wonderful effect
upon Madam's linguistic accomplishments.
It seemed1 to tc&ch her the English lan- J
guage as If fcy tho magic wave of a fairy
wand.
In spite of Madaxne's protests In her
newly-acquired tongue, however, the
court deemed It best to take the children
away from the scenes they were becom
ing accustomed to in their own home, and
they have been placed In the Catholic
school at Beaverton.
Children Act Lilke Animals.
Two wild-eyed children scuttled Into the
corners of a close, vile-smelling room
when the Juvenile officers visited their
home the other day, and when their
mother tried to induce them to come out
gave a series or sharp, anlmal-Uke yelps,
which struck terror to the soul of civili
zation. It was a reversion to ancestral
conditions, and yet on the car line and In
the most thickly populated district of the
city children are being raised like wild
animals. The obscene languago which
pours from he Hps of these babes
seemed incredible, but it Is a fact that
they can put any hoodlum in town in tho
background in the line of indecency.
A second visit of the Juvenile officers
found conditions in this deplorable home
much improved. The floor had received
up the consideration and analysis of Mrs.
iaays book, "Science and Health."

ject was "The Question of Questions," his
text being Pilate's question, "What shall
I do then with Jesus which is called
Christ?"
"It was an important question Pilate
asked the people, but they, being urged
on by the enemies of Jesus, shouted "Let
him be crucified. If those enemies of
Christ could but have looked down the
pages of history and noted the terrible
persecutions which, beginning in that
present generation, should fall upon
them and upon their children: could they
have had a prophetic vision of. the future
suffering and oppression, their descend
ants should undergo in every country of
the world when if any excuse was made
for their acts by brutal persecutors, it

they 'had crucified Christ. it seems to

Charges Not Always Sustained.
Charges made against families and their
children are not always sustained, and
the court is very impartial in Its dealings
with such cases. Various organizations
around town have been working on an
East Side case for the past year, on the
assumption that the young daughter of a
disorderly mother should be placed In tha
Magdalen Home. The case was recently
put Into the hands of Mrs. Daggett, and

Jezebel hears of this, and declares tbat he
must forfeit his life for the wrong ho had
committed.
Elijah Sees. aad. away from danger, alone
asd dlscoaraged. hs drops down under a
Juniper tree, weary and hopeless, and prays
to God to take his life.
Let us dwell on the scene for a moment.
He who a little while before had been a
man of God Is now a homeless, powerless
furtUre. Ho Is a tramp beside a wayside
bush. He does not impress us as a typo for
a great crisis In a nation's history. A bo
zaeat ago- his heart throbbed with passion
as his haads were outstretched in a priestly
attitude, calling down flro from heaven. His
eye gtowea witn a spicniua wimtnuion

frame swelled with energy as he seUed the
sword that smote tho false prophets of

With God he braves Ahab and Jesebel: with
out God. bis soul is In the shadow of death.
In that moment Elijah for rets the nutter-
las; ot the white wings, sees not the ansel's
smile. He forgets the toothsome cakes and
tho refreshing draught from the cruse, God
ailed. Tho reaction had been equal to the
recent action. He couldn't remain on Car
mel always. Victor Is the portal of defeat.
The human emotions are mobs which one
moment may cry". "Hosanna!"; then the
next moment. "Crucify him!"
Elijah suffered from an orerdose ot ego
tism. "I, even I. alone am left, and iney
seek my life to take It awayt"
When men think that the world has gone
to the bad. the probability is that the trouble
Is with themselves. "Mean men admire

But more, and better still, the weekly In

soon as his release can bo secured from
his present engagement. The church has
never experienced such a" success in all
Its history. So great is this success that
the church can be said to be entering upon
a new era 'of its existence. We all feel

you how we may discbarge the debt."
Rev. Mr. Muckley then read Romans
i:14: "I am debtor both to Greeks and to
barbarians, both to the wise and foolish.'
The preacher said: "Paul's possession of
Christ placed him under such obligations
to the unredeemed world that he was con
strained to say "Woe Is me if I preach not

have a simple catnoiic gospel to present.

tnererorc. owe a. pecuuar aeot to our
community. The revival has given us a
new power, a new confidence, which
..places us under obligation of service."
Mr. Muckley then set before the church
plans by which the debt could be dis
charged. He spoke moat hopefully of the
outlook before the church.
YOUNG MAN'S TEMPTATION
Rev. "William lu Upshaw Advises All
to Fight Evil.
"The Toung Man and His Temptation,"
was the aubject of the sermon ot Rev.
William L. Unshaw. at the MIa!uinni.
p Avenue Cengregatlonal Church last even
ing. It being the eighth he has been ad
dressing to young men. He spoke from
the text, Blesd is the man that en
dureth'temptatlon, for when he endure th
he shall receive a crown of life."
..Dr. Upa&aw maintained through his
address that manhood was only devel
oped through discipline, and that there
was no true manhood without a struggle.
"You ask me," he said, "why tempta
tion is -permitted. To answer this ques
tion Involves the whole problem of ad
versity In the world", and the prominent
part It takes in the development of char
acter, life to not a Pullman car with
soft cushioned seats, where a man has
to pay for his ticket, and some one else
dos the rest. Every man must 11 vo his
own life: it is an individual problem. Na
ture sever accepts a proxy vote. She has
nothing to do with middle-men. She
deals with the Individual. Many a young
man baa started out to see life and has
found death and hell laatead. He Is like
the man who looked. Into the crater of the
release aad merer came back. Men have
looked to see what there 1s- in the wine
cup and found a viper colled at the bot
tom: they found death, bitter, rotten
death in the house of lust; tliey found
ruin at the gambling tabic Some par
ents tempt their own children with wine
and the card table In their home. I
would as soon take theaa Into the woods
and invite them to a game- with rattle
snakes as to sit down with them with a
pack of cards.
"Fight like a man. when you cannot
avoid a. battle. Do vou want to know
how to overcome temptation? Promptly
resist it. Don't dallr with It. Did you
ever see a cat day with a mouse before

you had better get out of the way.
BECOMING A CATHOIilC.
Tli cm e of Bcv. Father Thompson at
- the Cathedral.
"On Becoming a Catholic was the
subject of the sermon by B.ev. Father
George Thompson at the cathedral yes
terday, who said In part:
It s a well-known fact that tho best of
Protestants frequently become Catholics, but
one near hears of an Intelligent, practical
Catholic abandoning;-his faith for one of the
numerous forms of Protestantism. Slncero
rellrtous Investigation leads Rome-ward.
and hence It Is that many people havo
guilty dread of giving tho Catholic Church
a fair hearlnr. Tfcer susjwet that their own
creed cannot give a satisfactory account of
Its origin; they .feel the Impotency wmcn

attributes which adorn the jCathollc Church,
and ther aro often conscious of the Incip
ient conviction that tho Catholics aro right
and the rest are wrong. But notwithstand
ing tho dictates of reason and the prompt
ings of grace, they flee the volco of con
science and turn their backs upon tae bck
onlnr hand of Truth.
This unwillingness to seek after truth ana

Men and women may dabble In Christian
Science, they may dote upon euphonious
preachments of a doughty champion of

their creed with the seasons, hut in all-
this there Is nothing to bring upon them the
resentment of relatives or friends. It Is only
conversion to lh Cmihollc Church Which
awakens tho enerar ot censorious critics.
To become a Catholic is looked upon oy
many as the unpardonable sin. and it mat

FAVOR MUNICIPAL REFORM
Samuel Connell and John Bain Speak
at tho Centenary Church.
Regular services at- Centenary M. H
Church last evening- were omitted, and
the congregation listened to addresses by
Samuel Connell and John Bain, from the
Municipal Association. After music by
the choir Rev. G. F. Tuffts gave the
prayer. Rev. W. H. Heppe. the pastor.
spoke briefly In introducing the speakers.
making the remark that radiating from
the incumbent of the WTilte House, reform
was in the air. Samuel Connell was the
first speaker, and he reviewed the work
of the Municipal Association, and told of
Its efforts to abolish open gambling In
Portland, which he said had been largely
accomplished. He made an appeal for
church people to stand together for mu
niclpal reform and a higher standard of
public morals and civic righteousness, and
reminded the congregation that an elec
tion was approaching In which church
people would be Interested. Mr. Connell
commended Mayor lane and Sheriff Tom
Word. In speaking of reform In general.
he said that there never was a time when
there was such a movement, and pointed
to the reform Governors who had been
elected In the Middle States, who stood
for high -public morals and civic right
cousn ess.
John Bain followed largely along the
same line. He said that it was the duty
of the Christian citizen to rise above par
ty and scrutinize every candidate for office
to see if he measured up to the true
standard that ought to be required of
every public officer. The meeting waa
dismissed with singing -America," and
the benediction by Bishop James M. Tho-
burn.

Senator's Bill Result or
Senatorial Courtesy.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
Inston. Feb. 25. Unless the House of
Representatives is more cautious than the
.Senate has been. a. deathblow may De
struck at the National reclamation law,
which wiu not oniy aimipt tne recmrau-
tlon service, but retard and possibly pre
vent the completion Of great irrigation i
systems now under construction. In an
unguarded moment, the Hanshrougn
drainage bill was put through the. Senate
without the sllehtest objection. Tnat Dili,
If enacted Into law. will open the way for
a general onslaught on the reclamation
fund, and will lead the way to tne demoli
tion of the Reclamation Service.
Two weeks ago the Senate committee
on irrigation ravoramy reponea tu
Hansbrough bill, which proposes to divert
H.0CO.C00 from the reclamation fund xor
dmlnine- certain North Dakota swamps.
A maioritv of the committee believed It
a. had bill, but consented to a report "out
of courtesy to Senator Hansbrougn. ana
afterward expressed the opinion tnat tne
bill would never pass. But. If these Sen
ators believed It a bad bill, they did not
take the precaution to see that it did not
tret throueh the Senate, for the bill was
called up three or four days after being
romrted and oassed. TUe "courtesy to
Senator HanabrouKh" at least put the bill
throueh the Senate. It Is now up to tne
TTonae committee to decide whether this
same courtesy is justification for 'again
reporting a bill that Is framed to accora
plish a deep-laid purpose.
Stab at Reclamation 3Ien
Mr TTansbroush is a very pronounced
and a verv determined enemy Of the Re
clamation Service. Ho does not line r.
H. Newell, its chief; he does not like the
engineers and their method or carrying
out the law; he does not like the way
the funds have been apportioned, and he
wants a general shake-up. There is no
nolitlcs in the service at present: political
pull cannot get an allotment ot money; It
cannot secure appointments for political
henchmen who are unable to get Jobs else
where; In a word, political pull is not
recognized, and Mr. Hansbrough does not
like It. For two years or more he has
been laboring to unseat Chief Engineer
Newell and have some other man placed
In charge, and he loses no opportunity to
get In a stab. But he has never made so
much nrosrress as when he passed his
swamp bill through the Senate.
The reclamation law contemplates tne
Irrigation of arid lands, not the reclaim
ing ot swamp lands, and It is so worded
that the work shall be done by the Re
clamation Service. Mr. Hansbrough's bill
proposes that tho drainage scheme shall
be carried out by the Agricultural Depart
ment, which has an Irrigation bureau of
Its own.
Why Not Drain Other Swamps?
The enactment ot this bill would soon
begin to work havoc It would establish
a dangerous precedent, to begin with. It
would take money set apart for reclaim
ing arid lands and apply It to the re
claiming of swamps. Once this thing is
done for North Dakota, the way would be
open for South Dakota and every other
Western state that has swamps. It the
Government proposes to drain the swamps
of the West, it would be argued by the
East that the policy should be extended
In that direction, and the time might even
come when Florida would demand Govern- I
ment aid In reclaiming the boundless
Everglades, which passed to the state un
der a recent decision of the Interior De
partment.
It may be argued that such drastic leg
islation would not be attempted, since the
Eastern States do not contribute to the
reclamation fund, but even now. legisla
tion Is pending to permit Texas to share
In the benefits of this fund, even though
the state contributes not a cent. If an
exception Is made of Texas, why not of
some otner state, since the money ex
pended in wis way is ultimately to find
its way back to the reclamation fund?
vine nansorougn diii would establish a
dangerous precedent; there Is no deny
ing it.

claimed, he would have been willing that
the work should be done by the Reclama

service quite as competent to drain
swamps as to reclaim the desert, and he
knows It. But he wanted to curtail the
power of the Reclamation Service, so he
proposed that the swamps be reclaimed
by the engineers of the Irrigation divis
