Condemns to Perdition Doctrine
That Men Are- Victims, of Clrruni-
staiiccs All Iee Agents.
Frank Ooulter, a manufacturer of musi
cal Instruments and ex-minister of the
Koppcl. lectured before the People's
Forum last nlp-ht on "How to Bo Free and
Happy." His theory of how to attain this
aim of all mankind was not unanimously
indorsed by his audience, and several of
his hearers differed with him in most
pronounced fashion in the discussion
following the address. Oblivion to circum-
stanccs and surroundings, absolute lnde-
pondimce of nod v and mind and a con
sciousness of the God-jrlven power In man
was his summing: up of his method of at
taining both happiness ahd freedom.
"I quit the ministry because I came to
realise that I could not preach for a
salary without selling- my soul," he said.
"I could not do that and be free, so I
gave It up and now I am my own mas
ter. I manufacture, I make things and
at my bench I have learned more truths
than I ever did at my desk."-
Mr. Coulter referred to the people of
this age as addicted to social and In
dustrial foolishness and asserted that
practically all the nations had committed
industrial and social harlkari.
"We shall never reach Utopia through
industrial regulations." he said. "In their
efforts to be free men make themselves
slaves and in the Btru&gle for happiness
they cut each other's throats. Men should
know what they are before they try to
bo free. In the struggle for liberty we
don't begin with what we are. but what
we want to be what .we picture our-
selves to be.
"I believe myself to be a conscious
manifestation of divinity a son of God.
The Almighty does not concern himself
about every minute detail In things and
lives-he gives us a consciousness and we
'can 'cut out the wrong things or not.
Just as we please. It is up to us. and
we can be free and happy, or we can be
slaves and miserable. I say to h 1 wlth
the doctrine that men are the victims of
circumstance. If you don't like your en
vironment, loosen your grasp on it let
it go. The sophistries of intellectual
theories about these things I cannot en
dure. If you think circumstances are
responsible for your character, you are
weak Intellectually you are dangerous to
the community. That Is always tne cry
Of the convict. Circumstances Justify
nothing, man Is his own justification:
nothing more. Everything- Is srood to
the mun wli o makes it good."
Have the daring and the freedom to rub
against the world, against conUltlons,
without contamination. God lias given
us the power to be free, ao he conscious
of the (iotl-given power in your lives.

n PPARENTLT the Baker players have
m m a- special fondness for farce-comedy
with a dash of music to add eplce. "How
Baxter Jutted In" Is that kind Of a
piece, and the company makes an ex
cellent showing- In it.
John Salnpolis blosBoms out as a real
singing comedian in the role of Baxter,
the typical "braah drummer" of Action.
Me doesn't make any great claims to
fame aa a soloist, but hla singing is
better than that of many a leading man
who does the musical stunt at top-notch
prices here. As the Irrepressible Baocter.
Mr. Sainpolis is always the play's chief
reliance. A very agreeable surprise yes
terday was the appearance of Lillian
Drew In the leading feminine role. Miss
Drew is pretty as a picture of Edna
May and has a voice that will prove a
very valuable asset when an -inventory
of her capabilities- for staae success Is
taken. She plays Nellie, the girl whose
good name is smirched by the- village
scandal-mongers, but who proves them
all liars and gives the local tricks the
mirthful' shuffle as the last curtain de
scends. This young Drew lady is a decided
acquisition to the company and the pat
rons will be much obliged If her employ
ment Is made permanent
The most artistic performance of all is
given by Arthur Mackley as the justly
hated landlord. Arastus Winch. I was
not prepared to find Mr. Mackley such a
superior character actor and am quite
elated at the discovery. Marlbel Seymour
is certainly the original cute thing.
Whether it be sins-lnsc a song, tossing
slry persiflage or convulsing the &udien"0
with her facial expression. Miss Seymour
Is one of the most Important elements
in How Baxter,' etc., at all times. She
is suffering from a badly wrenchod ankle,
the result of an accident at rehearsal

"ivrielnlt-ht Flyer" at tin Kmplre.
There was atandlngr room only at the
Empire Theater yesterday afternoon, but
many took that rather than miss seeing
the well-known scenic melodrama. "The
Midnight Flyer." which opened at that
house with the matinee performance.
The production ranks high from many
standpoints, and It kept the tg audi
ence busy expressing its mirth. Its' ap
proval of the good things and its severe
disapproval of the villainous acts of the
two bad men in the cast. There ia always
something- about a bis, well-stmared at
traction of tills kind that holds the keen
interest and stirs the anticipation ol
even the most veteran theater-goer. We
all wonder how the little girl la gtlng to
escape from the clutches of criminals
how the strlclten mother will find her
loved ones-whether the villain will suc
ceed in his foul plans to murder some
pood man or woman. "The Midnight
Ilyer" -is no exception to this rule, and
every minute Is one of anxious heart
beats and expectation.
But with the intensely Interestinff story
of crime, robbery, attempted murder and
treachery, there is a vein of most laugh
able comedy woven through the four
eeenes which causes laughter to mingle
with the tears. Bessie Seabri&ht, the
soubrette lead who successfully enacts
four distinct characters, and Sam Jack,
who is the. black newsboy, keep things
pretty lively, and their singing and dancing-
specialties are far above the average.
The scenic features of "The Midnight
Flyer" are extraordinary and the vari
ous scenes brought storms of approving
applause from yesterday's houses. The
scene on the deck of the steamer "Win
Chester, followed by an explosion and
wreck at sea Is most realistic, and was
an afternoon's entertainment in itself.
Another scenic success Is the cabin by
the mountain railroad switch, and the ar
rival of the "Midnight Flyer." As the
great locomotive comes tearing down the
track and onto the stage, just as little
Nellie (disguised as Xick, a. newsboy)
pulls the switch and saves a wreck, the
effect Is most realistic and spectacular.
If you want to see a show which will
keep you stirred up every minute of the
time you are in the theater, bo and see
"The Midnight Flyer." There are -no op
portunities for naps It Is the keenest sort
of action from start to finish. The pro
duction will be here all week and will
give Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
OFFICER HAS A CLOSE CALL
Cajjtatn Reynolds rails Through
Crack in Ice in Columbia.
Captain J. J. Reynolds, of the Charles
F. Beebe Shipping Supply Campany, near-
ly lost his life yesterday afternoon in an
effort to board the steamer Columbia,
which is icebound in the Columbia River
at a point about three miles this side of
St. Helens.
Captain Reynolds endeavored to board
the steamer when the ice began to move.
He was provided with a Ions pole and
this' saved his life, A huge gap opened
up and Mr. Reynolds fell in. The pole
prevented his being engulfed and the
captain made the ship with, nothing more
than a severe wetting-.
The steamship Aragonia again vent to
the succor of the Columbia yesterday
morning and succeeded in getting within
60 yards of the marooned vessel. River
men are Of the opinion that the blockade
will move out by Wednesday morning at
the latest. The river is rising and with
the warm weather now prevailing
throughout the Pacific Northwest the ice
cannot further hold out.
The steamer Alliance arrived up at St.
Helens from Astoria, at & o'clock yester
day arternoon. The steamer- Diamond O
has been engaged to fco down throuKh the
BlOUgti and bring to rortlanfl the perish
able freight. The river -steamer will
leave down 4hls morning at 7 o'clock. The
Alliance will sail for Eurokn tonight.
Passengers will be sent to Astoria.
For the first time In many years the
Willamette Is backing up at this Season.
With th- rlno in the Columbia there will
be a sucTrien moving of the Ice jam and
considerable damage is likely to result.
For 15 minutes yesterday afternohn the
ice above Warrior Rock moved steadily
down stream and then jammed afraln.
In the Columbia, . between Vancouver
and the Oregon shore, the ice softened up
considerably. The Jessie Harking made
regular trips and a. cl.'i." il "ri chanite for
the hetter is looked for within the next
24 hours. On the upper river the weather
is much 'warmer and a break In the lea
jam ia expected to occur at any moment.
A. rise in -the river will break the Ice
loose from the bottom and from the
shores and tvIU "send a ruBh of heavy Ice
to the lower river.
The lee gorge at Hell Oate on the Upper
Columbia broke yesterday mornlnir and
carried the steamer Norma bodily out
on the beach. Her. hull was badly dam-
aR-ed and It will require a force of ship
carpenters and the construction of1 ways
to nut her In commission again. The
steamer Relief and one of the wharf
boats of the Portage Railway are In the
center of the jam In the middle of the
river. It ,is thought that they will be
badly damaged beforo they reach a place
or safety,
