UNION PACIFIC PIE
Stockholders Will All Get Slice
Some Day Soon.
TREASURY IS BURSTING
Large- Sums Are to Be Spent. in the
Northwest, but All Will Not
Be Needed for This
Purpose.
NEW YORK, March 1L (Special.) No
question interests Wall .street quite so
much at the present time as just what
the plans of the Union Pacific for the
next two years or so may be. The finan
ciers, speculators and tho brokers can get
interested In copper stocks or In the ore
lands of the Great Northern Railway for
a time. They can scan the earnings of
the United States Steel Corporation, to
-ee what the probabilities of a dividend
on the common stock In the near future
may be. They can set up some enthusi
asm about tho Goulds" Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company, or their Western Pacific
road, which Is to let them out to tho
Pacific Again, they can watch with an
eye of wisdom the gyrations of the stock
of tho American Smelting' & Refining
Company in the market, but after all the
thing that will hold tho attention or
till of them is the Union Pacific.
"Union Pacific is my choice even
time," said one man tho other day. It
5r a great road, but tho people who have
piled up Its enormous assets are the ones
who can appeal to my imagination. That
road has about 5SO.000.000 of a surplus in
its treasury. Harrlman and the Kuhn,
oob people put that there, and I want
to be on hand when the pie Is divided.
"Oh, I know that some people say they
are not railroad men, or at any rale that
1hcy did not make this money out of
railroading, as. for instance, Hill usually
makes the money for his stockholders;
but, after all. tell me, didn't they make
it just the same, and didn't they do it
pretty cleverly?
"Of course, it was a clever stroke. Why
they made the most of that money out
of their Investment In Hill's Northern
Pacific. Hill toiled and planned for years
to do Just that very thing pile up a
great surplus for the benefit of his
stockholders, and after all Harrlman
came in and got away with a big slice
of the good thing.
"Now Harrlman must divvy up with
row and tho other little fellows. He has
5SO.000.000 or more in the treasury of the
Union Pacific mado out of investments
clear profit. That money belongs to the
common stockholders, and they will get
t sooner or later. See if they don't.
"The Harrlman people are not saying
much. Not they. It is not time yet, but
it will be some of these days. When that
time comes I expect a big extra dividend
in some form or other.
"Yes, this talk about a lot of money
to bo spent on extension and for com
petitive railroad building is all right;
there will be a good deal of that. The
Harrlman roads have under way Im
provements which will require an aggre
gate expenditure of more than 515,000,000.
and that is not the end of the pro
gramme. They are going to spend much
more. Indeed, it is stated that in the
neighborhood of 575,000,000 'will be spent
in tho next few years, and I believe this
to be altogether true.
"Tho most of this money will be spent
in Oregon and Washington, probably. But
that Isn't going to prevent a distribution
thtr Immonpi assets of the road for
tho benefit of the stockholders. Not
much. Means will be found to provide
funds for the construction of these great
works. What are financiers for, any
way?" Rails on IUparia Branch.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., March 11.
(Special.) The grading on the Rlparla
Lewiston branch of the O. R. '& N. has
been completed for a distance of 59 miles
out of tho total distance of 71. and tho
rails havo been laid tfor a distance of
nine miles down the river from Rlparla.
Charles Erickson, of the firm of Erick
son & Peterson, who have the contract for
tho construction of the lines, states that
they expect to have the line entirely com
pleted by August 1, or in time to handle
the grain and fruit crops this year.
STOP RAILROAD MONOPOLY
ireyburn Would Prevent Carriers
Owning Commodities They Haul.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March fl. Senator Heyburn of
Idaho, is one of those who believes that
railroads should not be permitted to be
dealers In commodities which they trans
port over their lines, and on this ques
tion he stands firmly with the fearless
Tillman of South Carolina, who reported
to the Senate the unamended Hepburn
railroad rate bill. This fact did not come
out in tho debate on the rate bill, but in
the discussion of Senator La Follette's
amendment to an Indian Territory bill,
which proposed to prevent railroad mon
opoly of tho coal Industry in Indian Territory-
Mr. Heyburn took occasion to
support the amendment, and in doing so
stated his position on the general ques
tion. "There is no greater evil today in the
United States than that involved in the
existing control of common carriers over
the utilities of life." said Senator Hey
burn. He addod:
Productive Industry and the functions of a
common carrier 6hould be kept so distinctly
apart that neither would control the other.
If productive industry controls the railroads,
they do It for their selfish Interests; If the
r&Ilroads control productive Industry, they
do It for their selfish interests. It may be
difficult to find a remedy for this evil; but
It Is the rreatcst evil today -existing In the
business world. No railroads should be en
gaged In any other business than that of a
common carrier; no productive Industry
should have such, a grarp upon the com
mon carriers of country that they can con
trol them. Take the producers of Iron and
steel and Iron and steel products of this
country and allow them to control the trans,
portatlon as a, matter of personal accommo
dation to them, to the exclusion of those
whom they may choose to exclude, you para
lyze competition and you place this Indus
try In tho hands of the controlling force.
Take these coal lands. Perhaps we shall
never find a cure In our generation .for the
evil that exists In the older states: but we
can at least scotch it as It approaches and
threatens the new civilization of -our coun
try In these territories; and we should di
rect our attention to It. We can only draw
conclusion? of wisdom perhaps from the
thlaga of the past or from conditions that
are beyond our reaoh today: but we should
not fail to draw those conclusions for the
benefit of a correct solution of the difficul
ties that confront us In this case.
Here are. perhaps In extent and in char
acter, as valuable coal lands as there are In
the world. We are proposing to sell or lease
them for the best price and upon the most
favorable conditions tor the benefit of these
Indians. If we sell enough or lease enough
et those coal lands to the railroads to en
able these railroads to supply the market,
the remainder ef the coal lands will have
bo value whatever. Private Investraeat Is
sot reiag lato the field to compete with the
railroad in attalng and selling coal In the
general market, unless you can reach that
msefc-to-be-deslred paint of preventing iit
erlmlHxtlea In. -freight rates en the art e
the railroads, by which today In the State of
Wyoming, where the railroads own vast and
valuable coal fields, coal lands that are net
owned by the railroads hare no market and
Individual ownership of those coal lands, is
today without any possible realisation.
We deal with the coal of Wyoming. I
cited it as an Instance. In no Invidious sense,
but because we draw our coal supplies from
those mines, and we know something of the
restrictions upon our rights In a business
way that flow from the xaasagemeat of
those mines. We know that halfway be
tween the coal mines in Wyoming and our
mines there are other coal fields that, with
the same development, would produce the
same character of coal and the came quan
tity of It; and we also know that because of
the Interest which the railroad company and
those connected with It have In there mines
In Wyoming, we cannot secure either the
accommodations for tranrportatlon or such
rates as would enable us to deliver our coal
to our market for the same price that they
deliver the coal from thlr mines. We
know that as a matter of fact.
Senator Fulton, of Oregon, inter
rupted to say that he agreed with Mr.
Heyburn in his desire to prevent rail
way companies engaged In hapllng
coal from owning coal mines and sell
ing the product, "But I wish to ask
the Senator if he thinks that that
could be prevented without at the
same time preventing the stockholder
in a railroad company from being In
terested in coal mines?' asked Fulton.
Mr. Heyburn said he was inclined to
believe that It could. Tie said that tho
law might be circumvented, but the
experiment was well worth trying.
"When Mr. Fulton asked the Idaho
Senator if he thought Congress could
prohibit a stockholder in a railroad
corporation from Investing his money
in coal land, Mr. TToyburn admitted
that he did not think so. "I think, as
a matter of fact," said he. "that wo
could not do 1L I do not "believe that
the power of the Government could be
extended that far."
Senator Teller, of Colorado, who had
followed the discussion, offered a few
pertinent suggestions, saying:
I wish to ask the Senator whether he has
examined the decision of the Supreme Court
on this coal question, which waa rendered a
few days since the case of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company
vs. the Interstate Commerce Commission. In
that cwo the court holds:
The question, therefore, to be decided Is
this: Has a carrier engaged In Interstate
commerce the powr to contract to sell and
transport In completion of the contract the
commodity sold when the price stipulated In
the contract does not pay the cost of pur
chase, the cost of delivery and the pub
lished freight rates?
In this case the Supreme Court held. I
think, with unanimity that the railroad
company could not engage In such business.
I believe therein lies our remedy, and In the
bill that Is either before us or which Is
coming to us soon. That would not, of
course, apply perhaps to coal In a Hate, but
the states could themselves handle that
within their jurisdiction the same as the
General Government can within its Jurisdlc
ton. So It is within the power of the Gen
eral Government or of the states to prevent
these corporations from doing this today.
To this Mr. Heyburn replied:
I have not doubted for a moment at any
time that a corporation would be limited to
the powers conferred by Its charter, and all
transportation companies, so far as I have
had occasion to know about them, are by
tho terms" of their charters confined to that
class of business, but It Is rather a question
with us of affording an opportunity for the
evasion, the easy evasion, of the law In this
case.

The Orcgonlan in which this appears. I
essay to say my say. It Is all In relation
to his sermon In your Issue of last Sun
day. March 4.
In tho first place T would like to ask:
From what portion of Holy Scripture, or
from what authoritative source, does he
get the words which he puts into the
Savior's mouth and uses as a text? They
are not to be found In the recorded utter
ances of Christ, as a complete and inde
pendent sentence, or In the sense In which
he uses them. Tho four words occur once
In the order In which he places them
"Go ye and tell" In St. Luke. xlll:;
but they are addressed to the Pharisees,
who had informed Christ that Herod
sought to kill him. "Go ye and tell that
fox. Behold I cast out devils, and do cures
today and tomorrow, and the third day
I shall be perfected." If ho uses St. Mat
thew xxili:19. why docs he not give us
tho authorized or revised version, or mako
his own translation from tho original
Greek? "Go ye. therefore, and make dls-
. ciples of all nations, baptizing them Into
tne name or th t atner ana or tne ion and
of the Holy Ghost, teachng them to ob
serve all things whatsoever I have com
manded you." To use the first sentence
and reject the second and- third Is to mu
tilate the command of Chrint.
Finding Dr. HHIIs' text nowhere In Uio
Bible. I am constrained to believe either
that ho must havo some extraordinary
and personal source of.knowledge concern
ing the utterances of Christ, or. that he
deems himself inspired to reveal state
ments of Christ's hitherto unknown
thus adding to the content of Holy Scrip
tures. In the second place: In the light of
ancient and modern research into the Ufo
and character of Christ, it Is amazing to
be told that Christ's career contradicts all
I our notions of thought and life that "in
the age of tHe 'Porch.' tho 'Lyceum and
Gamaliel's school. Jesus organized no in
I stitutlon for culture and training." In
i the age of the synagogue and solemn ccre
: mony. and Jewish ritual. Jesus taught In
J the open air. He Ignored every Institution
t that we think essential to success." On
' th contrary. If there Is any truth in
modern conclusions as well as Scriptural
j records, the career of Christ manifests
tne most perfect conformity to human
, conditions. He used ordinary methods and
adapted established customs. He fell In,
! as it wore, with recognized modes.
, Nothing but the perversion of reason
can lead anyone Into accepting the posi
tion that Christ did not use the methods
, of the men of his day In the first promul
; cation of his Gospel. Like the Greek and
'. Roman philosophers; like the Babylonian
and Alexandrian leaders of Jewish
thought; like Gamaliel himself at Jerusa
; lem. Christ most certainly founded a
I school of disciples and was tholr acknowl
. edged leader. Of the body of his disciples
ho selected 12 men wnom no Kept in con
stant contact witn nimseu. wnom no
trained in an especial way, and whom,
durinrr the ministry of his lifetime, he sent
on more than one occasion to preach tho
! Gospel of the kingdom. Further, during
the same period, he sent 70 other selected
men to preach the kingdom, and there
' are instances where he commissioned cer
j tain Individuals: "Go thou and preach
, the Kingdom of God."
; Was not this organization? Was not
this the adoption of ordinary human meth
ods? But all- this refers alone to the
ministry and conditions of Christ's life-
itlmc, when as yet there was neither
Christian Individual nor Christian relig
ion. There were believers in Christ, but
no Christians. There could be no Chrls
; tlans until Christ had perfected his plan
of salvation and accomplished the redemp
tion. The disciples and oeiievers regarded
Christ as the Messiah. God Incarnate, and
loving him with all their souls, knew
that he was In process of redeeming man
kind. But not until tho conditions which
brought, about tho Christian covenant
namely, the death, resurrection and as
cension of Christ and the fulfillment of
his promise to send the Holy Spirit, were
accomplished, was it possible for anyone
to be united to God under the terms of
the Christian covenant. When Christ's
work was done, and his great plan per
fected, then. Indeed, the Christian religion
and the Christian covenant became facts
in human life.
With the birth of Christianity on tho
day of Pentecost, a new order entered
Into the relations between man and God
an order prearranged and pre commanded
of Christ. In this order we shall see that
Christ did not depart from human meth
ods and natural means, but that he util
ized customs and practices with which
men were familiar. This will appear in
tho consideration of tho next point at
Issue.
In the third place. Dr. Hillis makes the
astonishing statements: "Jesus left no
volume, no chapter and no page. Our Idea
is that if a man wants his work to go on
he must perfect an organization, ecclesi
astical, political or commercial. Jesus or
ganized no church, instituted no ranks
of the ministry, wrote no creed, left no
organization behind." How beautifully
sweeping! The orthodox Protestant finds
his Bible taken from him, and the or
thodox Catholic his church. Nothing tan
gible to left; only a dream of love; a
dream that must inevitably vanish with
the Bible and the church which -give it
being. There Is no possible way of know
ing that Christ was Incarnate love except
through one or other.
It Is undeniably true that neither the
New Testatment nor the church was in
existence at the time of our Lord's as
cension lno Heaven. If this Is what Dr.
HHlis means, I agree with him to the let
ter But. if he means to insinuate that
Christ did not cause the Bible to be writ
ten for our learning, and did not cause
the Christian church to be organized, as
the house of our sanctlfloation. then I
repudiate hia position utterly.
I am not writing to argue with a Chris
tian who rejects the Bible on one lus
Jand the church on the other, for I knew.
not what the nature of his religion may
be. I am simply writing to show what
the Bible record actually Is as to what
Christ did. and how he did it.
It Is no begging of the question to as
sert that the supreme object of Christ s
coming was that he might bo a King
among men, and found a kingdom on
earth. This may appear to be a some
what unusual way of stating the case,
but It Is the Biblical way. Let us prove
that It Is so.
The central Idea of the Old Testament
Is the Messiah who was to come, and
the Influence he was to exert In the
world. Though a victim, giving his life
for mankind, he was none the less to bo a
King, and to found a kingdom In righte
ousness. The conception of the coming
King and the coming kingdom expressed
in type and symbol and by direct predic
tion, through tho law. the prophets and
tho holy writings. Is the unifying princlplo
which gives cohesion, meaning and value
to the books. Take the thought of the
King and the kingdom out of the Old
Testament and nothing remains of any
worth. We would then possess certain
writings of ancient origin: literary curi
osities; documents possessing a doubtful
historical value, but nothing of permanent
value. But contalnlnjr. as they do, not
only the idea but the promise of the King
and his kingdom, they are of Inestimable
value. They lead up to and prepare us
for the actual occurrences of the Now
Testament. Let us examine these latter:
The evidence of the New Testament
shows:
L That the Jewish people were expect
ing the Messiah as a ruler and King.
2. That Jesus, the King, was born.
2. That Herod sought to slay him be
cause he was a King.
L That the wise men presented gifta
to him as a King.

question, that If the Bible record bo true
Christ spent the years of his active minis
try in leading his disciples to the Idea
of his own sovereignty over their hearts
and lives, and In laying the foundations
of an organized kingdom among men. It
proves that the kingdom was potential
only outlined, planned and ordered dur
ing his lifetime. It proves that the king
dom was "at hand" the promise being
that some of those who heard Christ
speak should not die until they had seen
"the kingdom" come with power.
The question Is: When did this king
dom, for which Christ labored, this King
dom of God In which tho enemy was to
sow the tares of evil: this kingdom which
was to be on earth and composed of hu
man beings; this kingdom out of which
"all things that offend and them that do
Iniquity" are yet to be cast when did this
kingdom come into existence? There Li
but one answer. It came into existence
on the day of pentecost. when the Holy
Ghost was poured out upon the body of
the believers. No other answer is pos
sible. For nothing else, known to the
thought or Imagination of man. begins
to correspond to the conditions of the
kingdom pictured. In the Gospel, save only
the kingdom founded on the day of pen
tecost. That the kingdom of the day of
pentecost was highly organized wo know
, from Holy Scripture.
Christ's directions concerning Its organ
ization had been these: He had appointed
baptism as the means of admission to it,
'except a man be born of water and of
I the Spirit he cannot enter Into the king-
I dom," and be had commissioned his apos
tles "to evangelize all nations, baptizing
them," etc. He had appointed the Holy
I Communion, as Its central act of love and
iv.ou, iuu uv iu tcuiciuunince or
me." "This do ye as oft as ye shall
drink it In remembrance of me"
"I will not any more eat thereof,
until it be fulfilled In the Kingdom of
God." He had appointed the 12 Apostles
the overseers of his kingdom "T appoint
unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath
appointed me; that ye may eat and drink
at my table In ray kingdom." "Go ye.
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and lo, I am with
you alway, even unto the end of the
world."
That the converts of the day of pente
cost conformed, literally, to these com
mands of Christ's, is a matter of record.
Repenting of their sins they were bap
tized Into the kingdom, and they received
the gift of the Holy Ghost. Then, "they
continued steadfastly In the doctrine
which they had received from the Apos
tles. They continued "in fellowship" with
the Apostles whom the Lord had placed
over them. They were coastaat la re
ceiving the holy communion.' for 'the
breaking of bread" can mean "nothing else,
and they met in united worship, the
prayers. .
This Is enough. Wo have a perfectl
plain Bible record that the moment
Christ's redemptive work was complete,
the moment It was possible for a human
being to enter the conditions of the Chris
tian covenant, that moment those who
believed In Christ were Incorporated into
the kingdom. We have, also, a perfectly
plain record that the kingdom possessed
certain laws and features: Baptism the
sacrament of admission; the gift of the
Holy Ghost: the holy communion Its
divinely appointed act of worship: an au
thoritative and permanent ministry the
Apostles; a settled faith the doctrine of
the Apostles: a law of obedience the fel
lowship of the Apostles: and a rule of
united prayer "the prayers."
From the day of pentecost to the pres
ent hour, the kingdom has been called
by another name. It is called the church.
The church and the kingdom are one and
the same, and the laws of the kingdom
are the laws of the church.
My task has not been to delineate the
spiritual truths and glories of the King
dom of God only to show that, according
to the Bible It is a visible as well as
spiritual kingdom of Christ's own found
ing. The greater side has not been
touched. But It is something to show that
God Is not Inconsistent with his own
methods. For. from the beginning of
time. God's method of dealing with men
has been to utilize human agencies as the
mcdlu for his truth and grace. In man's
body God implanted a spiritual nature.
It was through patriarch and prophet
that he revealed his will. It was in con
nection with the ark that the Shechlnah
rested over Israel. It was In human form
that Christ became Incarnate. It is in
a material book that the story of the
Gospel Is enshrined. It Is In outward and
visible sacraments that the graces of God
reside. It is In the kingdom that the Pen
tecostal presence dwells. Always there
Is the outward and visible form and the
Inward and spiritual grace. Naturo and
the supernatural go hand and hand, for
there is nothing in Christianity if it be
not supernatural.
Christ's career does not "contradict all
pur notions In thought and life." That
Jesus left a volume" tho Bible wo have
not considered, but that he organized a
church, that ho Instituted a ministry,
that he left a doctrine call It creed If you
wlU that he created an organization, is
as certain as testimony can make It.
when Dr. Hillis realizes the Bible doc
trine of the kingdom, he will know that
the Christian man Is to be more than a
witness to the love of Jesus. He Is to be
possessed of the divine life, and thereforo
or the divine love. He is not only to
witness to tho love of Jesus, but Is to
manifest that love through his own per
son. Through him. Christ is to speak and
influence men Christ, not a mere example
pr love, but the presence and power o
love In his own sotiL

MOORE WILL NOT FATHER
MUNICIPAL- OWNERSHIP IS A
WAIF AT SEATTLE.
Mayor-Elect Has Old Scores (o Settle
AVIth the Clancys, and Ho
Will Be Very Busy.
SBATLE, Wash., March 11. (Special.)
If municipal ownership straggles Into tho
next City Council It will bo as lonesome
as a country lad just introducing himself
to a city school. Mayor-elect William
Hickman Moore refuses to be rcsponslblo
for the waif fid the two men elected on
that ticket do not tako any interest In
the Issue.
The Mayor-elect will recommend reform
In tho street-car service and will urge
that the telephone companies be made
to behave. But he says he will ask for
nothing ho radical as municipal owner
ship. The two Councllmen elected on
that ticket do -not feel like clceronlng tho
Issue through tho legislative body.
To be sure, municipal ownership will
J tests that nro to be waged by two Coun-
! Cllmanlc contests hut that in nnt Imnnrt.
i ant. Matthew Dow. candidate for Coun-
ciiraan-at-iarge. wants to prove that ho
was elected In the place of Frank P.
Mullen, the Republican whom tho returns
Indicate came In with 355 to the good.
And J. M. Wolfe In the Tenth Ward,
avers that he is entitled to tho Job in
stead of R. T. Reynolds.
. The Wolfe contest Is based on the state
university vote In the Third and Fourth
x rccincLr. wnicn. n lossea asiac. would
give Wolfe the place. At the same time
It would shift the Mayoralty result from
15 plurality for Mooro to 23 plurality for
RIpUnjer. But there Is not much chance '
that anything will come of either con
test, for the Council Is given control by
tho charter and the Council Is Republi
can and very much partisan In Its feel
ings. .
Mavor-elect Moora said todav that h I
did not expect any result that looked '
toward municipal ownership and Insisted ,
he did not intend to burn his flneers on
the Issue. If the new Mayor does not
precipitate the question. Alderman A. G.
Keene will find his drug business too en
trancing to give heed to the public utili
ties question and Carpenter J. X). Kelso
will try to make good for his ward. It
all depends upon the Mayor-elect as to
whether the Issue comes up and the lat
ter Is too busy settling with the Clancys
to think of the campaign Issue.
Moore was tangled up with the Clancys
when ho ran for the State Senate and
the Clancys 'were against him. It may
bo denied as much as vocal organs will
stand, but it Is a fact that the same In
fluences whjch elected Mooro for the
State Senate contributed toward his se
lection as Mayor. The Clancy enmity
was simply mado more bitter and Moore's
first obligation Is to send the Clancy ma
chine to the scrap heap. Labor union
and municipal ownership organization is
of secondary consideration.
, Moore will bother the Council with a
wiimber of recommendations he does not
expect to be accepted for he frankly
acknowledges to friends he knows his
position Is safo and the art of manufac
turing campaign Issues protected. The
new Mayor Is likely to recommend any
thing. He Is apt to say everything that
suits him as a future campaign reference,
without any Idea that It will be accepted.
This leaves some uncertainty as to his
recommendations regarding municipal
ownership, hut the personnel of the Coun
cil makes It certain that anything Moore
suggests In that line will be merely
placed on flic. What outsiders may have
considered as the Issue of the campaign
has no chance of being heard of. ser
iously, again.
Chief of "Pollco Thomas R. Delaney will
be retained Indefinitely by Mayor-elect
William Hickman ioort. TVurino- m
I ness of the Chief, Mayor Moore will hold
xne Acung unief of Police responsible for
the execution of a sweeping order to
"clean up the town" and. If upon an In
vestigation, it Is found the Acting Chier
Is not executing .the Mayor's orders he
will be relieved. The Import of this an
nouncement Is that the new Mayor Is
looking for a man to take the place of
Inspector of Pollco Frank WHIard.
There Is to be instituted a rigid "closed
town' policy under Mayor Moore. There
will be no "sneak gambling." The Chi
nese lotteries must close. Opium dens
are to be wiped out. Women of the town
must stay Inside, poolrooms cannot open
up. Hotels with easy consciences must
reform. The vicious must leave Seattle.
Prostitution, If not suppressed, will bo
quarantined.
