Ued by Kev. 1$. K. S. Ely as
"Bunyan's Ideal Minister."
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Portland Ministerial Association yester
dfty Miss Montgomery, representing the
Consumers' League, solk-iled the co
upc ration of Portland clergymen in Ret
ting shorter hours for "salespeople. An
effort will be made to get shoppers to
do their holiday shopping earlier to pre
vent the usual rush and extra work for
the clerks. Child labor is another sub
ject to he looked into by the league.
The ministers were Invited to be pres
ent at tile resular annual mectinn of the
league, November 7, at the Portland
Hotel, when bishop Scaddins (nd Ur.
Chapman will address the meeting.
Kev. Roper, of Boston, reiaesrnting the
American Seamen's Friend Society, asked
the assistance of all the ministers in
establishing a strong seamen's society in
Portland.
Rev. J. Wbitcomb Broughcr presided
nt the meeting ami Kev. Clarence True
Wilson, of Grace M. K. Church, opened
the meeting with prayer and followed
with a short address. During his sjjeech
he called the attention of those present
to the Saturday meet Inn at the Y. M.
C. A. of the Sunday school classes in tho
city. Kev. B. M. Sharp, of Mount Tabor
Presbyterian Church, will have charge
of the class at the Y. M. C. A. and all
ministers who can possibly attend are
invited to be present at these meetings
to help the pupils prepare for Sunday
school work.
Rev. It. E. S. Kly read a paper entitled,
"Bunyan's deal Minister." "The strong
est and most complete of Bunyan's char
acters is Groat-Heart," said he. "In him
the dreamer has idealized the Christian
pastor as instructor, as guide, as warrior
and as man. His vocation is four-fold
teaching, conducting, lighting, living. He
is a. teacher tor on every occasion he
gives the little pilgrim company practical
spiritual instruction.
"And consider Greatheart the man. Pri
marily we are impressed with his cour
age as his chief characteristic. Yet we
may say of him:
But tliiul. tlioufih capable ot sternest deeds,
"Wert kind as resolute, and good as brave.
For we perceive a. gentleness in his na
ture, a kindliness, considerateness, ten
derness toward others, especially toward
the weak. In him is affcetionatcness, too,
which is more practical than sentimental.
Hearty good nature is another trait of
his. Nor can we fail to lind in him that
simplicity which is always inseparable
from true greatness. Speaking of "his
courage we are reminded of the se
cret of it his humble truthfulness." .
Kev. C. YV. Hays closed the meeting
Willi prayer.
STEFFEHS - HEARST TALK
GREAT LIGHT EIjASH El OX THE
NEW VOIIK CANDIDATE.
What His Political Anibituins Arc
His l'art in Steering the Wave
of Hearst Democracy.
I,incoln Steffens in the American.
When I called on Mr. Hearst at his
hotel in Chicago to make an appoint
ment for an interview, lie wasn't shy;
he was at ease. He didn't make it
easy for me; lie seemed utterly indif
ferent to my purpose. Ho gave me all
tiie time I wanted: two late evenings;
a day on the train to New York and
the middle of two days. And ho an
swered all my questions.
That was all. however. He volun
teered nothing, absolutely nothing;
neither a fact, nor an amplification, nor
an idea. While I pumped, he made re
sponse. When I stopped, he stopped.
And if, perchance. I put a question in
some other form, he wouldn't answer
it if it was a charge.
"Here's another charge they make
against you, Mr. Hearst," I'd say, and I
would state the allegation.
Listening, be would nod his bead af
firmatively, its if to s;y he had heard
it betore, but when the statement was
concluded he did not refute it. Coiled
up on the sofa, he picked at the cush
ion and was silent.
"What about it, Mr. Hearst?"
"Nothing. That doesn't bother me."
"No, but it bothers me. I have to
discuss it."
"Oh. yon want me to give you my
version of the affair."
Thus spurred, he would tell the story
from his point of view, but not as if
he was correcting an error or con
tradicting a. lie. H'is was a dull, mat
ter-of-fact account of what he saw or
heard of the matter. He didn't seem
to care whether I believed his story
or understood Jilm: or whether I got
too facts right or wrong. That was
my business, not his- And it was busi
ness, all of it. There was no humor:
no story telling: no entertainment; no
relief of any sort to that interview.
What i." the thing that this man. so
set, so still and so self-sufficient, means
to do?
"I mean to restore democracy in the
VnUed States." he answered: and, said
es he said it, placidly, without empha
sis, bis intention did not sound very
radical.
"No." he said, but he looked up and
straight nt me. Not if you don't mean
what you say. And." he lifted his
shoulders a little, "even if you do. it
isn t so very radical. Us really con
servative. almost reactionary. In any
sense. It is going back to what was
originally intended by Jefferson and
Jackson. For the democracy T mean is
the' democracy of Jefferson and Jackson
and Lincoln.
" 'Jeff ersonian democracy,' that's nn
empty phrase with Democrats," I said.
"Jeffersonian democracy is not an
empty phrase with me." said Mr. Hearst
very gently. "It is full of meaning for
me. I have studied Jefferson and Jack
son and Lincoln; I have studied care
fully the history of this country until
I believe I know what it means to
say 'equal rights for all and privi
leges for none.' T think I know what
it means In words nnd what those
words mean as to consequences."
"And you think that the cure for our
evils lies In the re-establishment of
that principle: not in deeper-going
remedies such as the Government con
trol of manufactures and other Indus
tries ind the abolition of private prop
er! v In tools, land, etc.?"
He nodded.
"Then you are not a Socialist nt all?"
"Socialism is unnecessary." he sa,d,
quietly. "Its remedies are entirely un
necessary. Take away privileges and op- j
portunities will be equal."
"You mean governmental privileges?"
"I mean the favors granted by Gov
ernment." Mr. Hearst went interestingly into the
democratic movements in American his
toryJefferson's, Jackson's, Lincoln's.
He seems to know these men and these
chapters well, and into all these move
ments, ancient and modern, he reads a
significance for the present movement.
'Then vou think that the present po
litical movement in America is one of
these great Democratic waves?"
Probablv the greatest the world has
ever seen," he answered. "Certainly the
greatest in the history of the United
States."
"You'd "call it a spontaneous move
ment?" ,
"More or less. Leaders appeared to
create it in different parts of the coun
try, but they only expressed what lay
mute all around them. They personified
it."
"But you se it as a great national
movement, a new spirit in the American
people?"
"It is bigger than that," he answered.
"It's a world movement. Russia. Kng
land, most of Europe, Japan and China
they all are feeling it. But the Amer
ican movement is the most hopeful and
the farthest advanced."
"Who personifies it here, nationally?"
"That is not yet decided. There are
several national leaders, now, any one
of whom may prove to be the man."
"Will the decision be by an election?"
"Not necessarily.''
"A writer or an editor might be the
man ?''
"Yes. Journalism is the modern pow
er, and it should express and guide tiie
movement: but I'm not so sure as I once
was that it will. If the political leaders,
those who are elected to office, would
do things, the press might be decisive.
Rut public officials fail. I've helped
elect men to office, helped in good faith
and with fair hopes. But they didn't do
much."
Ho named some examples.
"Why do you want office yourself?
Was that an early ambition?"
"No my early ambition was to do my
part in newspapers, and I still propose to
do a newspaper part. But when I saw
Mayors and Governors and Presidents
fail. I felt that I'd like to see if I
couldn't do better. I'd like to go into of
fice, any office almost, to see if I can't
do tiie things I want to see done."
"Mr. Hearst." I asked, "would you be
content to stick to journalism if you
could find men to do those things in of
fice?" "Yes."
"Can you name men who, you think,
would fill the bill?"
He could, and he named one or two.
Now this is not a verbatim report of
the interview. It is only a true impres
sion of a number of talks condensed in
one. But in them all 1 saw Mr. Hearst
took a personal view of history and that
he saw himself doing In our day what
the men be admitted did in theirs. So 1
put to him this question:
"Then your ambition is to personify the
modern American Democratic movement
not to hold office, but to express the
new spirit, and thus be to it what Jeffer
son and Jackson and Lincoln were to
theirs?"
He glanced up at me a moment; then
he nodded. "That is my ambition," he,
said.
Accepting this, as Mr. Hearst did, in
ail seriousness, we have a startlingly
high standard set up by the man him
self to judge him by. A man might by
work, intelligence and will, force himself
into any office in this country, but he
can't by any abilities make himself the
representative of the spirit of a people.
This is a matter of character. Imagine
Ahrabam Lincoln editor of the Hearst
newspapers.
FARMERS GIVEN VERDICT
Smelters in Salt Lake Valley May
No Longer Poison Crops.
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5. A verdict
against the American Smelting & Re
lining Company and four other smelt
ing companies, and in favor of more
than 400 farmers living in the Salt Lake
Valley, was rendered today by Judge
John A. Marshall in the Federal Dis
trict Court. These farmers, who have
suffered heavy losses of crops and live
stock from the arsenic and sulphur
fumes discharged from the smelting
plants, sued for damages and abate
ment of the alleged nuisance.
The order of Judge Marshall enjoins
the smelting companies from the fur
ther roasting or smelting of sulphide
ores carrying more than 10 per cent
sulphur, in their plants as at present
located. Owing to the vast interests
involved, it is ordtTred that the in
junction will only take effect at the
expiration of 30 days. It is further pro
vided that any of tho defendants may
at any time hereafter apply to the
court for a modilicatlon or suspension
of the injunction on a sufficient show
ing that conditions have been so
changed that the discharge of such sul
phurous and arsenical fumes into the
atmosphere may be resumed without
contributing to or creating or continu
ing the nuisance complained of by the
farmers.
Chaucer lieyond the Tale.
Harper's Weekly...
A friend of James Whitcomb Riley
tells of an occasion when the humorist,
who is, as a rule, extremely averse to
social functions, was induced to at
tend a "literary" dinner in Indianapo
lis given in honor of a novelist of that
city.
Riley had been told off to take in to
dinner the sister of his host, an excel
lent woman, though anything but "lit
erary." The conversation touching upon the
beauties of Chaucer, about whom a
certain set of the city was then culti
vating a fad, a spirited discussion en
sued, during which the bewildered sis
ter caught from time to time only the
''name "Chaucer."
At last she whispered to Riley: "Who
is this Mr. Chaucer they're talking
about so much? Is he very popular
in society?"
"Madame," solemnly responded Riley,
"that man did something that forever
shuts him out of society!"
"Heavens;" exclaimed the worthy
dame, "and what was that?" .
"He died several hundred years ago,"
said Riley.
Grafters Among the Japanese. '

Because the Japanese thrashed Russia
there Is a common impression that they
are far superior to all Western people,
but there may be some mistake about
this. A Yokohama paper charges that a

Japan are Jn prison for the offense. Be
fore the war closed there were some
startling disclosures of corruption in con
nection with the erection of barracks and
hospitals, and they involved officials very
high in rank. It is just possible that the

"Portland must be cleaned up." is the
order that has gone forth, and every po

JEUOME KEOGH CHALLENGED
BY FKKD TALLMAX.
Buffalo Man Was Given Title by
John Horgan, Who Quit Game
to Take Vp Billiards.
The retirement of John Horgan and
his surrender of the world's champion
ship pool emblem by forfeiture to Jer
ome Keogh, of Buffalo, forms a unique
feature ot pool-playing, says a New
York paper. In his statement Horgan
says:
"In my retirement it is not that I
fear results of competition with any
possible challenger for the-trophy, but
simply because its retention necessi
tates almost constant practice on the
part ot the holder. This is too much
to ask of a player.
"For instance, if I played Keogh and
won I would then have to play De
Oro, and after the Cuban would come
Clearwater, Sherman and probably oth
ers, so that my entire time for the
billiard year would be occupied, it be
ing necessary to answer every chal
lenge within ten days and to play
within 40 from its date.
"At present I have a good academy
position here (St. Louis; and an ex
cellent opportunity to enter and win
the three-cushion tournament at the
St. Louis Grand in November. To play
Keogh would cause me to give up my
position and chance in the other tour
nament. I have therefore decide to
forfeit .the emblem, but may challenge
for It later."
For the three-cushion tournament it
is expected that Schaefer, Sutton,
MILLIONAIRE FINDS NOTHING
IN MONEY BUT WORRIES
J. P. "Weyerhaeuser Willing to Trade
Responsibility and
J P. WEYERHAEUSER, son of
Frederick Weyerhaeuser, who is
said to be tho wealthiest lumber
man in the world, would like to trade
all his millions of dollars and his thou
sands of acres of rich timber land for
a good steady job and a modest home.
He has often told his friends that there
is but little in life for the millionaire.
He declares that his life is far from
being a bed of roses and he envies many
of the thousands of men in his employ.
Until yesterday Mr. Weyerhaeuser was
a guest at the Hotel Portland and is
now en. route .to Idaho to inspect valu
able timber interests. He is traveling
alone, and while the state of his health
is not the best, business demands his
presence in Idaho. If he were not a
millionaire but instead were holding down
a substantial job, he could lay off when
his health was impaired. But when thou
sands of dollars are at stake and not
a mere job, he cannot remain idle.
Stories have often been told of million
aires w ho would rather be poor x than
rich. People without any vast sums of
money who have read these tales have
looked upon them as fiction of the most
imaginative type and are longing as
much as ever to become rich. But
'friends of Mr. Weyerhaeuser declare that
be is really a millionaire who cares ab
solutely nothing for riches.
Mr. Weyerhaeuser frequently makes
trips to the Northwest and is a familiar
character about the Hotel Portland. His
friends say he is "common as an old
hat." By that they mean he is demo
cratic in his ways and among some of
his warmest friends are millnion who
are employed by him at $3 to J4 a day.
Nearly everyone who has ever met him
likes him. He will treat a laborer with
as much respect as he will a fellow mil
Hoppe and other leading billiardists J
will enter. There are a diamond trophy
representing the world's championship,
a big purse and a share of the gate
receipts for tho winner.
Keogh is not likely to rest long in
idle possession of his new laurels. Fred
Tallman, the ex-Rochester expert,
now located in a Buffalo academy, has
challenged for the title.' Tallman put
in his bid with the representative of
the. billiard company under whose aus
pices the contests are held, before it
was known that John Horgan would
default, being anxious to forestall De
Oro, it being stated on what is re
garded as accurate information that
the Cuban designed a challenge to the
Horgan-Keogh winner.
Tallman declared that there was no
question in his mind but that the donors
of the trophy, to whom Horgan is re
ported to have turned over the emblem,
would give it to Keogh promptly, and
that his game with the little Buffalo ex
pert would follow shortly-
"If." said Tallman, "Horgan had sur
rendered the emblem before being chal
lenged, it would have been necessary to
hold a tournament to decide its owner,
but now. as he has retired under tire,
so to speak, it is logical that Keogh, as
the challenger, should have the trophy."
Tallman has supreme confidence in his
ability to more than hold his own with
Keogh, for it must be understood that in
challenging under the rules he is forced
to make a bona fide bet of at least $150
and the entire receipts of a championship
match to go to the winner. Tallman has
many friends who believe that the time
has about arrived for him to break into
championship company. His last exhibi
tion match with Keogh, when in a 600
ball game he pressed the former Scran
ton man right up to the finish, gave abun
dant indication that Tallman is not an
antagonist to be lightly treated. In his
recent practice he has done a great deal
to overcome his once great fault, weak
ness in position play, his- execution of
difficult shots being of the best.
Keogh has not received any official noti
fication of the action taken by Horgan,
and consequently Is not yet in a position
to answer any challengers. He declared,
however, that he expected he would have
the emblem turned over to him before the
week is out, and in that event he wduld
promptly accept the challenge of Tallman.
"And." said lie. with a smile, "I guess
after all. the first championship game will
be played in Buffalo, and as both Fred
and myself are now Buffalonians, no mat
ter which of us wins, the next match
following will doubtless come here, also."
While a lot of the friends of the game
are disappointed that Horgan did not
accept the Keogh challenge and play, it
is appreciated that his position, from the
viewpoint of personal interests, is a sens
ible one. While Horgan might beat out
Keogh and then De Oro for the champion
ship, past history of the game shows
that this would be tho unexpected result
and while taking chances of being de
feated at pool Horgan would be obliged
to give up his protitable billiard engage
ments in St. Iouis.

lionaire, and wealth and class distinction
make no difference with him.'
Mr. Weyerhaeuser is a man of about
40 years of age. He comes of German
stock. He is large and well buiit and
has a kindly face, but it does not reflect
as much sunshine as most people would
expect to find in the features of a man
who has nothing to do but look after
his monoy. He looks rather careworn
and as though he has a great deal to
worry him. He cares absolutely nothing
for style or personal appearance and his
only thought in dress is to look present
able. His friends say that he refuses to dis
cuss money or the lumber business when
he can possibly avoid it. He has told
his friends that nothing bores him quite
so much or makes him so miserable as
to have to sit around with people and
talk business.
Mr. Weyerhaeuser might be called an
unwilling slave of money. For years
he has been in the timber business, is
familiar with all the details of the great
business conducted by the Weyerhaeuser
syndicate and his interests are so large
that he is virtually tied hand and foot
to them for life. The lumber business
is about all he knows, but he hates it.
Meanwhile he works incessantly day in
and day out. but many a time, so those
closest to him say. he talks of how nice
it must be to have a modest job, a little
home and no millions to worry over.
There are four sons in the Weyer
haeuser family. Charley Weyerhaeuser,
who will come to make his home in
Portland next Spring, will probably suc
ceed his father as the business head of
the syndicate. Many estimates have been
made of the wealth of the Weyerhaeusers
and by some id is said the family repre
sents more than JHO.OOO.OOO. Some place
it even higher than that. The four sons
are associated with their father, and
besides the big interests they have in
the syndicate all draw large salaries.
DE
OTHERS
Inventor of Cyanide Process
' Defrauded of Its Benefits.
PARTS WITH HIS PATENTS
John S. MeArthur, Now in Portland,
Lives to See Strangers Wax Rich
By Vsing Methods Which
He Discovered.
Some of the greatest inventors ever
known derived no profit from their inven
tions although they were instrumental in
making great wealth for others. Through
an invention of a method of mining by
John S. MeArthur. of Glasgow Scotland,
now a guest at the Hotel Portland, hun
dreds of millions of dollars in gold have
been taken from the earth, but the noted
Scot Is no richer by reason of it.
Mr. MeArthur. known as one of the
most expert mining engineers in th
world, 16 years ago introduced the cyanide
process for extracting gold. He invented
it in the Transvaal and then brought it
to this country. The Transvaal now pro
duces about J1O9.000.000 in gold annually
and about 35 per cent of this is extracted
by the cyanide process.
When Mr. MeArthur went to the Trans
vaal it was producing only about !7,HK,0G0
per year of the precious metal. There
was much gold-bearing ore in sight but
It could not he successfully treated Mr.
MeArthur, after several years of study
and hard work, succeeded in perfecting
his process and as soon a.s it was intro
duced. South Africa came to the front as
a gold-producing country. .
While he had absolute faith in his in
vention and believed that it would work
wonders in mining, Mr. MeArthur, be
cause of unavoidable circumstances, was
forced to dispose of his rights for a mere
song. Now no matter what country he
visits, if it produce. gold, he is sure to
encounter mines where his famous pro
cess ui being used.
But unlike most inventors who failed
to realize on their inventions, it is not
probable that Mr. MeArthur will die poor.
Mr. MeArthur is a practical man and
instead of bemoaning his fate has been
steadily at work improving hi3 fortunes
Because of his expert knowledge, he
draws an enormous salary and also
owns extensive interests in Australia.
While lie often visits Australia, the
United States and other countries he has
not visited South Africa for nearly a
score of years and it may be that he
regards It with some little bitterness.
But the persons who first secured the
cyanide process from him failed to make
any money from it. A company was
formed and the process patented but the
patent was not sustained in the courts.
Rich mining corporations when once they
learned its secrets declared that they had
known of it before and becau.se of their
powerful Influence were able to have the
patent annulled.
In the United' States a patent could not
be had but in New Zealand and Victoria
it was recognized as an invention and
patents Issued They were in effect for
years and the ones who first, introduced
tne process there protited materially.
In most mining ramps more money Is
expended in mining than is taken out.
But the argument has been advanced that
the world is richer for every ounce of
gold that is mined no matter how much
was expended in securing it. Money ex
pended in wages and the purchase of ma
chinery simply changes hands and the
gold extracted Is new money. But Mr.
MeArthur argues that where a man puts
more money in a mine than he takes out
that not only he but the world is the
loser.

sky. Pater's picturing of the Shield of
Hercules rebuilds for us the light and
life of buried Hellas. Swinburne's eulogy
of Rosetti astounds us with the splendor
and speed of his words. Ije Gallienne's
prose fancy, "The Twelve Wells." stirs
our hearts witli the precious disquiet of
old sorrows. Victor Hugo's oratibn in
"The Man Who Laughs" awakens in us
the ennobling passion of humanity. Lin
coln's "Gettysburg Speech" hushes the
soul with its tine appeal to the heroic
in the heart of man.
I might go on to mention Emerson, Poe,
Thoreau, Hawthorne, Lake Harris,
Jeremy Taylor, as well as St. Matthew,
St. John, Isaiah, Job and other peers in
the parliament of words. But I content
myself with making the one selection that
is perhaps my favorite in most of my
moods. I refer to that stately and sonor
ous passage from Garlyle's "Sartor Re
sartus," where he sees history, as a stu
pendous procession, forth-issuing from
Cimmerian Night and vanishing into pa
thetic and fathomless Silence. Here is
tiie passage:
"Like some wild-flaming, wild-thundering
train of Heaven's Artillery, does this
mysterious Mankind thunder and flame,
in long-drawn, quick-succeeding grandeur,
through the unknown Deep. Like a God
created, Ore-breathing Spirit-host, we
emerge from the Inane; haste stormfully
across the astonished Earth; then plunge
again into the Inane. Earth's mountains
are leveled, and her seas filled up, in our
passage; can the Earth, which is but
dead and a vision, resist Spirits which
have reality and arc alive? On the hard
est adamant some footprint of us is
stamped in; the last Rear of the host will
read traces of the Earliest Van, But
whence? O Heaven, whither? Sense
knows .not; Faith knows not: only that
it is through Mystery to Mystery, from
God to God."
Few Whiskers In Oklahoma.
New York World.
The gentlemen who make cartoons for
the humorous periodicals of the East long
ago decided that the typical citizen of
Oklahoma was a lean, hungry-looking in
dividual with a mustache that could be
tied behind his ears, or whiskers that ex
panded generously over his manly bosom
and were beautifully tinted with tobacco
juice.
The Oklahoma Journal of Commerce
has just issued an illustrated edition
which shows how little caricaturists often
know about their business. Of its 105 por
traits of more or less prominent citizens
there are only five exhibits of whiskers,
and four of these are as closely cropped
as Vice-President Fairbanks'. The sole
exception is not a type of funny-paper
whiskers, but of the old-fashionod Amerl-

EVER HEAR ANYONE EXPLAIN
How he just "happened" to enter our school; without thinking much
about where to go? By no means. Our students come to us from
deliberate choice because they want the best, and know we have it.
Business men know it, too. Each day of the past five years has
brought one or more applications for office help. We have no trouble
to place all our graduates. Quality does count, after all. Our school
RANKS WITH THE BEST IN AMERICA
For thorough work. We pit how well against a "short" course and
the "get-through-quick" idea, and win out every time. Quality of
instruction made more room a necessity, brings more students each
year, more calls for help than we can meet. It pays to attend such an
institution. Call, phone or write for new catalogue the most artistic
production of its kind ever issued in this city.
