Political Mass Meeting for
Men Held at the White
Temple.
VARIOUS TOPICS DISCUSSED
Speakers Are E. S. .T. McAllister. Dr.
J. V. Brougher. Judge Txnvcll,
Sheriff Word, Harvey Brown,
Jlobcrt G. Smith.
A political mass meeting; of men was
held yesterday afternoon In the White
Temple for the purpose of promoting the
randidac of Tom V.'orfi for Sheriff and
discussing matters relative to the coming
campaign from a reform standpoint. Sev
eral hundred were present and vigorous
ly applauded the sentiments of the
speakers. E. S. J. McAllister, Dr. J.
Whltcomb Brougher. Judge Stephen S.
Jxjwcll. Sheriff Word, Sheriff Harvey
Brown, of Baker County, ana Senator
Robert G. Smith.
The remarks were all along the line of
advocating reform in municipal, state and
National politic. Some of the speeches
took up general phases of the situation,
while others dwelt upon local conditions,
and especially advocated the election of
Mr. Word. JI. W. Stone, secretary or
the Young Men's Christian Association,
made a short, speech, calling for money
for campaign purposes at the close of
which subscriptions were taken on cards
pledging the funds "for the purpose of
reelecting Sheriff T. M. Word and for
the campaign expenses of the Portland
Municipal Association." About 1200. was
raised.
Discusses Cl-Ic Righteousness.
Ppeaklng of "Obligations of Citizen
ship." E. S. J. McAllister first discussed
civic righteousness on a general basis
anl then harrowed St down to apply to
conditions in Portland. "Admitting the j
bat:lc principle that all Just government
Is based upon the cdnsent of the gov
erned." he said, "people cannot affoid
to dlsreaaid and treat with cold indiffer
ence the forces that form that govern
ment. The artificial conception of gov
ernment that some people have special
prerogatives to rule has about passed
away. It is recognized now that we our
selves must select carefully those who
we believe will formulate and administer
the laws wisely.
"We are slow to break away from the
old forms, but the sooner we do this in
many cases the better. There are many
policies which were recognized as ex
pedients in the past that we now find It
wise to abandon. Gambling is one of
Uiese. It was only a comparatively short
time ago that churches, colleges and com
monwealths resorted to the more re
Kpectuble forms of gambling to raise
money. That was done away with. Then
It was .said that gambling helped busi
ness, but It has been found that gambling
in all its forms Is pernicious. Once duel
ing was considered respectable, but now
It Is recognized as a form of murder.
Gambling, in the same way. was looked
upon as business, but now we know that
it is a form of thievery.
Sanctity of Public Properly.
"But we must consider the sanctity of
public property as well as private. The
first was always recognized, but we are
only coming to realize that public prop
erty is Just as Important. In Philadel
phia a few years ago thej gave away
J8.O30.0u0 worth of street" franchises, and
the people of that city are now turning
against that sort of thing. The whole
ountry is" awakening to a realization of
the importance of not robbing the people
by diverting public property into Improp
er channels. We must have individual In
vestigation. We must have a regard as
sacred In character for that which Is
public aa that which is private."
Church Power in Politics.
Dr. Brougher was the next speaker. He
told of the work that the church was do
ng In the present campaign, and said that
he believed it right that the church
should be recognized as a power in poli
tics. 'The devil and his forces are do
ing everything possible to oppose re
form," he said, "and the church must
work like the devil, too."
Dr. Brougher spoke in detail of the ad
ministration of Sheriff Wrord, and called
upon the church people to unite In brlnp
. lug abouL his ro-electlon. He said that
Sheriff "Word had spent 52000 of his per
sonal money In pursuing his reforms, and
had refused offers of large sums which
would be given him if he would abandon
his. policy of closing gambling. "If Presi
dent Roosevelt were running for Sheriff
in Multnomah County." said Dr. Brough
er. "I would vote against him and for
Tom Word, because he has done what ho
said ho would since his election."
Sheriff Word made a few remarks after
Dr. Brougher hod concluded, on his poli
cies if re-elected. "I shall go on. as I
have in the past." he .said; "I shall con
tinue to enforce the laws to the best of
my ability."
7 Judge JjowcIPs Talk.
"The People and the Law." was the
subject of the discourse by Judge Lowell,
who is a candidate for United States Sen
ator. "As a representative of the great
Interior." he said. "I bring to you a mes
sage and a warning. A message that
Portland is regarded in all parts of the
tate as the social, political and Indus
trial center. A warning that if this city
docs not set an example of good govern--tnent
It will Ijave a blighting Influence on
the remainder of the commonwealth.
"Reverence for law is the one great
bsson that must be taught continually.
r say that lawlessness is prevalent,
but the great danger lies In a Itfxlty of
law enforcement. As an example to the
vounger generation, wo must have our
nws obeyed, because If young people see
that one law may be broken with Impu
nity, they will soon begin to think that
all may.
"The remedy for present conditions is
not more laws, but the enforcement of
those we have. Wo must have an awak
ened public sentiment. Our motto should
be: 'The- same law for every man. and
every law alive. "
The meeting closed with brief addresses"
by Senator Robert G. Smith and Sheriff
Harvey Brown, of Baker County.

SOX OF HARPER'S FEHHY IIEHO
HEARS DR. WILSON SPEAK.
Preacher Draws lci-Mm From Life
and Deeds or Abolltlonl&t "Who
Sacrificed Life for Cause.
The presence of a son of the immortal
John Brown, of Harper's Fcny fame, at
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, last
night, made the evening service one of
peculiar interest. Mr. Brown is an old
man with silvery hair and beard, but the
slow of enthusiasm lights his eye and
straightens his aged figure at the mention
of his father's name. He took no part in
last night's service, but his appearance
created more than ordinary Interest In Dr.
Clarence True Wilson's lecture on "John
Brown." which was addressed to the two
G. A. R. posts of Portland. Many vet
erans of the Civil and Indian Wars occu
pied scats in the auditorium.
Dr. Wilson reviewed In detail the Inci
dents of the life of John Brown, giving
his ancestry and showing the kind of
blood which flowed through the patriot's
veins and urged him to the performance
of his great life purpose. He laid the
foundation of this purpose to an Incident
which happened when John Brown was a
boy of 12 and visited a Southern family
In company with his father, who sold beef
to the soldiers of the War of 1SU. There
he saw a slave boy of his own age to
whom he became greatly attached, and
wa indignant at the great difference
made in the treatment of the boy and
himself on account of color. That was the
Inception of bis Intense and lifelong hatred
of slavery.
"There were four great principles In the
life of John Brown which made him the
hero he lived to become." said Dr. Wil
son. "The first was a forceful, strong
personality, which so Impressed people
that tliey could never forget him or his
purposes; the second was the sublimity
of a great confidence: the third a benefi
cent self-sacrifice, and the fourth the
strength of a genuine Christian faith."
Dr. Wilson continued by pointing out
that the world is today, and always, in
need of character like John Brown, and
extolled the abolitionists with all the pow
ers of his eloquence.
Mr. Butterworth. of the Butterwortb
Concert Company, rendered revcral solos
during the evening.

morning. The Butterworth Concert Com

The entire Kast Side will rejoice to
know that plans and specifications for a
steel bridge for Sullivan's Gulch have
been completed, under the direction of
City Engineer Taylor, and that it now
only remains for the Council to approve,
them, and let the contract. The cost of
the bridge, according to the estimates
submitted, will range from 9&4.T50 down
to J).C, depending on the character of
the pavement used and on whether steel
or wooden stringers are employed.
A bridge to carry double tracks for

The City Engineer did not prepare plans
for a reinforced concrete bridge, but rec
ommends that bids for such a structure-
be invited. He says that the cost of a
reinforced concrete structure would be
very much greater than for one of steel.
He gives no figures, but bids would
doubtless bring out what the cost would
be.
Costly Structure Favored.
Of the several types of bridges sug
gested In the report of the City Engineer
It Is evident that East Portland will fa
vor the first mentioned a full steel
structure throughout. Including steel
stringers, asphalt or bltullthlc pavement.
It Is considered probable tnat some street
car company will want to lay tracks
across the Grand-avenue bridge, and
could be required to pay Its portion of
the cost- The J1S0. estimated as the
cost to be assessed some street-car com
pany using the bridge Is considered rath
er small, inasmuch as the total cost Is
estimated at $f.73. but this Is probably
governed by the charter.
The City Engineer has examined Unlon

Gulch, and has found It In fair condition.
He Is making some repairs where the
timbers appeared to be weak. He says
the structure will stand for some time.

E. H.'VIRGILJS ARRESTED
Charged With Drivlnpr II Is Automo
bile Faster Than a Walk.
For the first time in his life E. H. Vir
gil, a pioneer resident of Portland, living
on Grand avenue near East Burnslde
street, was arrested for tne offense of
driving his automobile at a speed to ex-,
ceed that prescribed by ordinance. A po
liceman served the warrant on Mr. Vir
gil Saturday, much to his amazement,
considering that he had had his auto
mobile out on the street but once since
the Lewis and Clark Fair. A few days
ago Mr. Virgil backed the machine out
of Its quarters, and. seeing a gravel train
on Grand nvenue. he dodged back. That
was all.
Mr. Virgil walked over to the police
headquarters, where he assured the cap
tain that there must be some mistake and
that the warrant was for somebody else.
If the charge was for not operating his
automobile, he should plead guilty and
settle the fine, but to the charge of speed
ing his automobile above the limit ho said
he was not guilty. It was simply a case
of mistaken Identity. The last year's
number on Mr. Virgil's automobile was
21 and he has never received one for the
present year. He was not aware that a
new number was required. Somebody else
received this number for 1906. and a po
liceman, seeing another running an auto
mobile faster than the limit, reported
that number, with the result that Mr. VIr
gll was arrested, as his name was oppo
site that number.
