8 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1906. WHERE STRIKES ARE UNKNOWN Louis J. Simpson, of North Bend, Solves Labor and Capital Problem. FAIR TREATMENT METHOD Enthusiastic Over the Future ol Coos Bay, He Predicts Big City Will Come With Deep Harbor and Entrance ol Jlailroad. One of the most prominent and most observing men in Portland once re marked that Mayor Louis J. Simpson, of North Bead, eon of Captain A. M. Simp eon, the multi-millionaire, had done more to solve the differences between capital and labor than any other per son on the Pacific Coast. This ap pears to be a very broad statement when it is taken into consideration that Mr. Simpson 13 but 29 years of age and the son of a rich and an In dulgent father, but his numerous friends are unanimously of the same opinion. It might be said that there are but few men in the whole wide world who have more sincere friends than Louis J. Simpson. All Are His Friends. In speaking of friends persons of an exclusive social circle are not re ferred to, but people of all classes who have been brought in contact with the young man, whether the men of wealth, influence and education or the mill hands and the common laborers. Mr. Simpson is the manager of a half dozen or more large concerns at Coos Bay, such as saw mills, foundries and factories and has "working with him" hundreds of men, and it Is said among all these there cannot be found a sin gle enemy. The explanation is simple enough he believes in Justice to all and that there is good in every per son. He has been fortunate enough to surround himself with men who are endowed with sufficient Intelligence to appreciate the rare trait which gov erns the actions of the young oaptain of industry, which is humanitarianism in the strictest sense of the word. Ho is a humanitarian and something of a philanthropist. In business he la a humanitarian and In private life a philanthropist. The accepted interpre tation of the latter word is one who gives In charity. Some men are known as philanthropists because of the enormous amounts of money they have given In the name of charity which they accumulated by shady business methods and the oppression of their employes. He Is not that kind of a person. Tays Fair Wages. Mr. Simpson pas's his men fair wages and advanefcs them it they are deserving because ho believes he is doing what is right and that it Is to his own interests. He believes that every man has a right to live and that he Is entitled to a good living and not a bare existence. This is hu manitarianism. To the poor and needy he has been most charitable, as many persons can attest, and has provided them with work when really their rervices were not needed. That is philanthropy. He pays all of his many employes as much as he possibly can from a business standpoint. The scale of wages in other mills and factories does not regulate his scale. If his business is prospering he raises the wages of his men whether or not the other con cerns do. He works upon the princi ple that every man who "works with him" 1s interested In the business and If that business flourishes they should share the prgsperity. Good Work Rewarded. Each one of the hundreds of men knows that if he does better work than the others who are employed with him that his efforts will not go unappreciated and that he will be promoted.. This is true of the mill hands as well a. the wu. and assistants in the offices. As a re sult the men are contented and labor troubles are unknown. Although a very busy man Mr. Simp son la very easy to approach. A logger with a grievance can see Mr. Simpson in his office Just as readily as a banker. It is said that should oue of the em ployes meet with adversity and be in need of a friend that he would go straight to "Louis SUmpson," as he is affectionately known by the people of Coos Bay. It has been shown that his system pays in the long run as all of the concerns of which he is manager are In a flourishing condition and yielding good profits. The men take an Interest in their work and do not labor solely because of fear they will be discharged. They work because they know that it will be to their own interests, and not solely for the bene fit for those who employ them. Began at the Bottom. For a young man Mr. Simpson has seen a great deal of the world and has much beneficial experience. He has had many "hard knocks" although his father is very wealthy and has known what It is to have had to work for a living. He has worked in the saw mills as a laborer and has gone home at night tired and exhausted from physical toll. Maybe this has something to do with the governing of his actions, but for the most part his broad and wholesome belief in that which is human comes natural to him. Mr. Simpson is now a guest at the Hotel Portland for a few days. Although his home is in North Bend he has as large an acquaintance in Portland as many men who have lived here all their lives. He Is a man who not only makes but accumulates friends. He was seen at the Hotel Portland yes terday afternoon and an endeavor was made to draw him Into conversation re lative to perfect understanding that ex ists between himself and those he em ploys. He expressed a deep dislike for men who devoted their energies to the selfish accumulation of wealth. Other than that, he would not discuss the sub ject He is not looking for notoriety. Good Man to Work For. Mr. Simpson Impresses one as being a "a good man to work for." If appear ances do not belie him all that has been said about him ' In this article Is con firmed. As a business man he gives the Umprasslon that he would be reason ably strict but not too exacting and that he is not unmindful of the rights of others. He is a man of education, en ergetic to a high degree and has a moat engaging personality. Few persons have more magnetism in them than he. Un doubtedly were he not the son of Cap tain Simpson he would make just as big a success and do fully as much good as he already has. When questioned regarding the resources of Coos Bay his tongue loosened and there was a manifestation of his wealth of en thusiasm. He believes that Coos Bay is a favored portion of the Pacific Coast and that it is destined to become a great sea port and commercial metropolis. "There cannot help being great cities In Coos Bay before many years." said he. "With the assistance of Portland and the whole of the state we expect to obtain a Congressional appropriation for the deep ening of our harbor. W are satisfied that Portland will aid us. Portland is Retting all of that trade now, and there Is no reason why Portland should not re tain most of It. The business men of Coos Bay and this city are becoming more friendly each day. and are learning to understand each other better. Coos Bay should trade with Portland and Port land with Coos Bay. Coos Bay is mak ing wonderful progress and in time we shall have our harbor deepened and shall have a railway down the coast and a ter minus of another one across Central Ore gon. Coos Bay cannot help from being great" ILLS WE ARE HEIR TO. Soothing Balm Offered Along Lines of Socialism. PORTLAND. June 17 (To the Editors There Is at present a great deal being said about the Impure and diseased meat that Is prepared for sale to the nubile. In a condemnation of the packers' methods of slaughtering and preparing meat. I fail to note any remedy proposed by any news papers except the Socialist ones. When a person Is sick and employs a ' physician, he wants to be relieved of pain. It is no use the physician telling the patient that he Is mir roring and keep on repeating the statement. So It is with tie meat business. The profit system is the sole cause of hu man troubles directly or Indirectly. If all human energy was expended for the purpose of benefiting the whole race. Instead of profit for self, there would be no incentive to do wrong. If the public can have postage stamps made without adulterations or imitations and furnished to all persons alike, at the same price, I do not see why the public cannot furnish themselves with food, clothing or shelter the three first necessities of life. Vl could possibly live without mall service, but not without food, clothes and shelter. Every 111 of humanity is caused by the profit sys tem. As the ills are the effects. It is useless to waste so much energy fighting the effects and allowing the cause to remain. How long could the liquor curse last If th I distillers and saloonkeepers failed to make iiiwm .- society, speaking or it as a whole, has a right to protect itself. If we can have police to arrest criminals and prevent people from committing certain kinds of crimes, why not prevent all kinds of crimes? Borne one says: "That would be impossible." Yes, it would be impossible all at once. But when we, as a Nation, conclude to have all work done by the Nation and Just as methodically as is done in the mall service, we will then have a system wherein the children will have the best kindergarten training, and when they are older will be taken around and shown all the industries and given a chance to choose an occupation for which they have taste and talent. When they are trained a part of the day by good trainers and when rhey are 20 years of age, many of them will become ex perts In that occupation. Now, according to official reports, there are 2.000.000 children under 16 years of age in the Industries of this Nation. Many of them are overworked and underfed and don't last longer than two or three years after they begin to work. Thousands that reach the age of 20 years are stunted and dwarfed. The "best men, physically and mentally, many of them, are put Into armies and in battles are killed or crippled for life. The Socialists propose to get all nations to at once lay down their arms. On nation dare not lay down its arms while others keep theirs. Then we will have a world of peace Instead of war. . Picnics Instead of battles; pleasure Instead of pain; Joy instead of tor row. In all the past history of the human race there has always been strife and con tention. Each one with his hand against his neighbor dog eat dog, eat or be eaten. If two men nght all day they will not do as much good as It they had combined and done useful work. The same is true of the whole of the human race. Some one says that you will have to Changs human nature to make that change. Not at all. We will have to change people's minds. Our forefathers reaped wheat with the crooked sickle. Their descendants reap wheat with the great harvester, where six men cut, thresh and sack 100 acres of wheat in a day. The men with the harvester have the same nature as had those with the sickle. The mind of man 'has passed through evolution to a different conception of things. With the present Industrial systemxit Is won derful how many people have good Intentions where every one that Is poor is 'having a bat tle for life. We fear want, of being unable to pay the rent or grocer's, or doctor's bills, in not rinding employment all tending to drive people to crime, drunkenness, insanity or suicide. As for the rich, they have guards around their houses, and by their side. If they go on the street or travel by train or boat. With all their precautions some of the rich get killed because they are rich. Fear rules ths world with an iron hand. Take away the cause for fear. Adopt So cialism and then those that are rich now will get all they can enjoy all they can enjoy now. me rear of murder and theft will dis appear, and then we can have a world-wide brotherhood of man. L. KLAM ROTH. SPRAYING OREGON TUBERS J. II. Reld Believes Potato Yield Can Be Increased. J. II. Reid. horticulture commissioner at Milwaukie, has Just received from the Kast the first machine for spraying po tatoes which has been brought to Oregon, and it is a curiosity. He will use it to spray his grape orchard, but it was bought to conduct an experiment in spraying three 10-acre tracts of potatoes. Ten acres have been reserved for this purpose by a farmer at Canby, Rlsley and Gresham. The intention is to spray cer tain rows of these tracts and some of the rows will not be sprayed at all. Some rows will be sprayed twice and others three times, and the yield will then be compared. Reports from different states in the Union on potato blight and fungicides show that the yield of potatoes when sprayed is very much larger than when not sprayed. Extensive experiments have been made in Vermont and New York. A bulletin published by the New York Agricultural Experiment Station shows a remarkable gain In profits to farmers raising potatoes. One Illustrated experi ment is given which shows that potatoes that have been sprayed every two weeks produced 380 bushels of first-class tubers, and where sprayed three times the yield was 850 bushels an acre. As a contrast for these a single tract is shown where the potatoes were not sprayed at all. Here the yield was 161 bushels per acre! Numerous other instances are given. The gain in many cases is given as 50 and 100 per cent. This spraying experiment will be the first conducted in Oregon on a large scale, and will be conclusive. It is considered of great importance by members of the Horticulture Association. Commissioner Held believes that the yield of potatoes in Oregon will be largely Increased over the past year as soon as spraying is generally introduced. The cost, he says, will be small compared with the increased yield The results of the experiments that have been started will be watched with interest SPECIAL RAJES EAST. .

HONOR LATE BISHOP Solemn Memorial Service Held by Oregon Episcopalians. MANY CLERGYMEN ATTEND Great Congregation Assembles at Trinity Church to Hear Trib ute to Right Reverend B. Wistar Morris. Fit tribute to the memory of the late Bishop B. Wistar Morris was paid last night In an impressive memorial- serv ice at the Trinity Church, at which 17 Episcopalian clergymen officiated. The beautiful church presented an impressive scene, as the clergymen, all in white vestments, together with the many choir boys, entered the chancel. All the seats were Ailed in the church, over 1000 people attending the memorial service. The rector, Rev. Dr. H. A. Morrison, opened the service with prayer, which was followed by a short memorial ad dress by Rev. D. E. Loveridge. of Eu gene. Dr. Loveridge, who is one of the oldest clergymen in the Oregon diocese, spoke of the unassuming greatness of the late Bishop and the deep impression he made on all those who knew him. Men tioning the great amount of good achieved by Bishop Morris during his life, the speaker said that the memory of the good bishop will ever be honored by the Oregon diocese. Dr. Morrison then apoke a few words. saying that nothing would have pleased the "dear old bishop" more than a great missionary hymn. "The late bishop," said Dr. Morrison, "was a missionary first and always. It was the theme of ills life." And as a tribute to him the whole congregation Joined In the hymn "Publish the Glad Tidings." The principal address of the evening was made by Rev. W. S. Short, of As toria. He said in part: "A young man once found a book in a little hotel In a email town in Pennsyl vania. It was a book on religion. The young man could not find the owner of the book and read It through. The re sult of that incident was the grand old bishop, the late Benjamin wistar Morris. And probably due to that the late bishop scattered religious books during his whole lifetitme broadcast amongst his friends. Real greatness in man or woman con sists in their love for little children. And that is where the late bishop was eupreme. How well I remember the ven erable form of the man, head bowed and eyes dimmed with tears, when some lit tle crippled child would walk up to the late bishop. A great institution for these comfortless little souls Is due purely to the unceasing energy of the late bishop. Let us all follow In his footsteps and do as he did. He fought a grand fight. ciear to me ena. The speaker concluded his elonuent ad dress with the words: "Grand In his sim plicity, noble in his self-sacrifice, he has passed on to a glorious and noble re ward." When the speaker finished ther were many tear-dimmed eyes in the con gregation. Recollections of the late head of the Oregon diocese forcibly came back to tne old members of the church, who remembered when the late B. Wistar Mor ris succeeded Bishop Scott. The services were closed with prayer by the rector of Trinity. I..OGIC OF REFORMATION. Sermon liy Dr. D. A. Waters at Vol verslty Park. "The greatest task given to man Is that of self-mastery, and only when he has mastered himself is he fit to rule over others; what Is true of the Individual Is in a large sense true of the Nation. Rus sia's hope is centered in internal reform. Individual and national,"' declared Rev. D. A. Watters, D. D., at the University Park Methodist Episcopal Church, last night.

A perfect picture of chastened, artistic beauty Is that made by the sanctuary, chancel, organ and altar of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church at Nineteenth and Everett streets. The church property is valued at about (150,000, and is admitted to be the best and most valuable of its kind In the Pacific Northwest, if not the Mid dle West. The building is of stone, and has a most durable appearance. The peal of bells in ths belfry Is the gift of Miss Rachel Morris to the memory of her late brother. Bishop Morris. The altar of white marble cost (500 and the pipe organ (10,000.. The whole stands as a monument to the praiseworthy energy and personal popularity of the rector. Dr. A. A. Morrison. No one who has ever worshiped in this church can have failed to be Impressed and made to think of better thins;, after .listening to the service of solemn beauty and the helpful aid rendered by the male choir of about 40 men and boys, the organist and choirmaster being Carl Denton. He haa drilled bis choir to a high standard of efficiency. Only one Improvement is suggested that Trinity choir should have at least six women's voice in it to help the boys who sing soprano and contralto. At present these boys sing very well, but they require Just the assistance women's voices would give. The interior furnishings of the church are plain yet dignified, but they are not yet complete, nor is the church beautified by ornate stained-glass windows. The latter will come some day through the liber ality of parishioners. In the calm restfulness of a Sunday morning, whatever be your creed, If you have not visited Trinity Church and seen the sunlight stream through the windows and like a beneficent blessing cast Its beams over altar, organ, lectern, pulpit, white-robed choristers and the congregation, you have missed one of the beautifully ar tistic sights of Portland. In his sermon on "The Logic of Reforma tion." Continuing, Dr. Watters said: "It is the universal opinion of mankind that the world is not as good as it ought to be; neither is it as good as it shall be. That it is better than It once was is -clear to most people. The world is going for ward for better and not for worse, or else the work of the ages has been for naught. But it has not been for naught, for very marked and excellent are our attainments, moral, civil, social and commercial. The world-wide interests of mankind will ad vance Or recede according to the motives and judgments of men. One: of three ends we all choose: either self, or the good of men. or the glory of God. These are per haps better reduced to two, God Or self, for true love for the race is the glory of God. We are directed to go forward, not with selfish motive but with world-wide philanthropy. Only love for God and man kind can make for reform and true prog ress. "It ia a familiar fact that man was born into the world the most helpless of all animals. It is a less familiar fact, though more important, that he is born the most selfish of all animals, always crying "Give; give!" there being no cessation, ex cept by the grace of God, to his imperious animal demands. Under the control of selfishness, man is the worst of brutes. Discipline and chastisement must enter in for his correction, "The selfish motive has built much into PORTLAND MEDICAL STUDENT WINS HONORS IN THE EAST ' Mr. John Francis Ortschlld, son j" i ;mm mm if mnYtiffrnffiwnm:-n-fifi'""rnr-1"r,"'T John Francis Ortschlld. Dr. Harvey Cushlng. surgeon to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, he decided to decline the Interneshlp and take the higher, more practical position, which offers many advantages clinically and brings the holder into closer contact with the great teachers of this famous school. In April of 1906 Dr. Ortschild was one of the six of his class elected to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society. In 1899 ho was graduated from Stanford University. Dr. Ortschlld will not return home this Summer, but will spend the time In the East. The doctor expects to settle In the East eventually. the civil, commercial and social fabrics that calls for speedy reform. This call Just now is loud and persistent, nor will it cease to be heard while men in power hesitate to correct the evils of their day and generation. The call, is not alone for the reform of general evils but the reform of men. If every one kept sacredly the Golden Rule, would the world be any bet ter than it ought to be? If every man re ceived the fruit of his own labor and in turn gave at least a tithe to religion and benevolence, the world would be much happier and no better than it ought to be. "If there were no corruption or graft or fraud or class oppression or class legisla tion In our Government, would the Gov ernment be any better than It ought to be or you would have it? Ours is emphatical ly a government of the people, for the people and by the people. A higher con ception of the liberties and rights of man Is nowhere to be found. To work out suc cessfully this problem of self-government requires unselfish devotion on the part of all officers and people. All true reform must take Into account the value of man. Nor can one give out that which is not in him. Reform means the reform of the in dividual life and heart. Just here Is where the seriousness of the matter lies. The family is a small but. most Important com pact, the strength of which Is to be reek- . tt w.yTftwfa fly r oned by the Bum of the virtues of the sev eral members of the same. Reform esti mates man not by what Is on him or around him. or in his possession, but by what is in him. Man Is more than an ani mal. He is a spirit builaing for the eter nal ages. All true reform is personal, and men who are not right or will not reform cannot, according to any sense of propri ety or safety, be the custodians of the people's interests." TALKS TO THE GRADUATES.

Dr. Ortschlld has done excellent work throughout his entire four years. While others were content to follow the 'regular routine of the course, he- was ambitious and de voted considerable time during each of the four years to original re search and extra work, besides keeping up the regular work, there by gaining much that cannot be ac quired in any other way. At the end of his second year he was selected on hlfl standing, with 20 others, to receive a special course In operative surgery. At the end of his third year he ranked eighth In his class. His present standing en titled him to an Interneshlp in either medicine, surgery or gyne cology at the Johns Hopkins Hos pital, but being offered a position on the faculty of the Medical School to become an assistant in teaching operative surgery and also to be come private personal assistant to rated in honor of the presence of this large class and the auditorium was well filled. Rev. Mr. Parker spoke on the subject, "Ye are the Light of the World, and he said that the moral character was everything, while education was sim ply the development of that moral char acter, or rather the Instrument of the moral character the Individual. "Each life," he said, "was a power plant, sending forth its light, either bright or blurred, according as the moral character had been developed. I went to a lighthouse on this coast once, but the keeper would not admit me until I would promise that I would not touch the re flecting lense that sent its rays over the waters of the ocean. A single blur, how ever small, on the lense would cast a great shadow out over the waters, and mayhap, cause a wreck on the rocks or shoals. So if there be a blur, young women and young gentlemen, upon your moral character, it may cause shipwrecks somewhere within the scope of your in fluence." Sunnyside M. E. Church Gets Flag.

Malice was characterized as "the Worst Thing in the World" by Dr. E. L. House In his sermon upon that subject at the First Congregational Church last night. He contrasted malice with love as set forth by Drummond in his sermon upon "The Greatest Thing In the World," and showed that Inasmuch as malice is the opposite of love, it is properly classed as the superlative of all that Is evil. He said in part: "Carlyle has written: 'Somewhere in this world there is the stupidest man.' So there must also be somewhere the wick edest and the best man. And each one of these men must be actuated by the best and the worst thing in this world. The world is familiar with Drummond's little book. 'The Greatest Thing in the World.' That greatest thing, Drummond tells us on the authority of Paul, Is love. AND EVERETT STREETS ' mi nn -I The greatest sentence that has ever been written is: 'God is love." And the worst sentence that, can be written about a man Is: Uvlng in malice and envy, and hating others.' Malice is the opposite of love. "What Is malice? It is a propensity to inflict Injury or suffering or to take pleasure In the misfortunes of others. It Is active Ill-will. If malice had its way, every home would be broken up, every social circle would be destroyed, every fraternal tie would be cut, every compact of good-will would be rescinded and chaos would reign. Malice puts out the true light of the soul. Where love attracts, malice repels; where love would help, malice would strike; where love comprehends, malice misinterprets. "Literature is full of illustrations of the ruinous effect of malice upon those who nourish it. Hamlet has had many interpreters, but his is an example of harbored malevolence. The master pas sion of Shylock was not avarice, but mal ice. Listen to his words: 'I hate him. for he Is a Christian,' and 'I'll go in hate to feed upon the prodigal Christian.' "He is a foolish man that would set hia own house on fire, but more so the man who sets his own heart on fire, and burns himself through with anger, mal ice and revenge. To avoid the worst thing In the world, we must cultivate the best thing. 'Love believeth all things." and when the facts do not seem to square with belief, it 'hopeth all things,' and when hope falls. It 'endureth all things.' " Preaches His Farewell Sermon. Rev. E. M. Bledsoe, a well-known Port land Baptist minister, yesterday morning preached his farewell sermon In Portland in the Secortd Baptist Church, East Side, Just prior to his departure for Tekoa. Wash., near Spokane, where he has been called to the Baptist Church. Rev. Mr. Bledsoe wag pastor of the Calvary Bap tist Church, Stephens Addition, several years ago, and from there he was called to Emmanuel Baptist Church, from which pastorate he retired several months ago. At the conclusion of his sermon yesterday nearly the entire congregation came for ward to bid him farewell. EASTERN EXCURSION RATES June 23, 25, July 2 and 8, August 7, 8, 9, September 8 and 10.

The coffee .drinker seldom realizes that coffee contains the drug CaiTeln, a serious poison to the heart and nerves causing many other forms of disease, noticeably dyspepsia. "I was a lover of coffee and used It for many years and did not realize the bad effects I was suffering from its use. "At first I was troubled with indiges tion but did not attribute the trouble to the use of coffee, but thought it arose from other causes. With these attacks I had sick headache, nausea and vomiting. Finally my stomach was In such a condi tion I could scarcely retain any food. "I consulted a physician; was told all my troubles came from Indigestion, but was not Informed what caused the Indi gestion, so I kept on with the coffee and kept on with the troubles, too, and my case continued to grow worse from year to year until It developed Into, chronic diarrhea, nausea and severe attacks of vomiting so I could keep nothing on my stomach and became a mere shadow re duced from 159 to 128 pounds. "A specialist informed me I had a very severe case of catarrh of the stomach which had got so bad he could do noth ing for me and I became convinced my days were numbered. "Then I chanced to see an article set ting forth the good qualities of Postum and explaining how coffee injures people, so I concluded to give Postum a trial. I soon saw the good effects my headaches were less frequent, nausea and vomiting only came on at long Intervals and I was soon a changed man, feeling much better. "Then I thought I could stand coffee again, but as soon as I tried it my old troubles returned and I again turned to Postum. Would you believe it, I did this three times before I had sense enough to quit coffee for good and keep on with the Postum; the result is I am now a well man with no more headaches, sick stom ach or vomiting and have already gained back to HT pounds."
