T5IVES IT WIDER MEANING
In Sermon on Stainless Flag Move
ment, tTrges That Sons Be as Care
fully Protected From Saloon aa
Daughter From Brothel.
Stainless Flag- day was observed In
many PorUand churches yesterday, ser
mons on the evil of the licensed saloon
being the order of the day. This move
ment by the churches against the saloon
la by no means local, however; preachers
all over the country having agreed to
put forth a united effort one day In each
year to arouse public sentiment against
the license system to such an extent that
the public drinking saloon will be out
lawed by the Government. The movement
started with the Anti-Saloon League at
Its last National convention, held at St.
Louis. November 20. and the Portland
Ministerial Association gave Its endorse
ment to it at the time Dr. B. S. Chap
man waa In town, several months ago.
n. i Tm Wilson took for his
subject last night "The Unwritten Law.
He said in part:
A government by unwritten law is a
suggestion of terror to some people. They
look at you in holy horror at the thought
- of sanctioning the punishment of crime by
a law that Is unwritten, not knowing that
Blackstone defines the common law of
England to be those unwritten principles
of Justice that have existed back to the
time "when the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary.' So that It Is sale
to say that back of the statutes, behind
constitutions, and at the basis of the
common law Is the unwritten law, which
Is the aphoristlo sentiment of mankind
governing fundamental matters.
"Constitutions are but the Interpreta
tion of It. The statutes and decisions of
the courts are but the ever expanding
literary expression of It. Among these
well accepted principles this Is funda
mental, that every manly man la the
natural protector of his wife, his sister
and his daughter; in other words,, that he
Is the natural head of his household. Its
guardian and defender.
Courts Not Always Just.
"There are offenses against the home
that involve relations too sacred to be
entrusted to the handling of courts and
the awkward fingering of juries. A man
would rather put his own life in their
keeping than to permit them to handle the
delicate problems regarding family vir
tue. 'A father looks Into the cradle where
there are twins sleeping. AU the feel
ings of his manhood would be aroused at
the suggestion that that Innocent little
girl might fall a prey to the villainy of
some lecherous scoundrel, who under false
pretenses would enter his home. But
s tell me. is not the life and character of
-t:ie little boy as sacred as the virtue o
the little girl? And If a Government will
punish the outrage against his daughter
will not the time come when the Govern
ment will cease to protect the man whoae
business it is to make drunkards and
wrecks of the fathers' boys?
"This Stainless Flag day, observed
right, to the purpose of government, and'
to that unwritten law of Justice and right
which is fundamental to all civil organiza-
tution and of the statutes and asking our
selves the purpose for which civil govern
ment exists. If It Is Instituted among
men to secure to them the rights to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
how can we consistently license the liquor
business, which destroys all three?
"Our Constitution states in the pre
amble that this Government is formed
ain order to form a more perfect union,
establish Justice, Insure domestic tran
quillity, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity." These six principles 'are
In harmony with what the scriptures de
scribe civil government to be, as expressed
In the 13th chapter of Romans, the great
est brief compendium of law government
extant
"These six principles, however, are
every one antagonized by the licensed
liquor traffic In our midst, which does an
injustice to the helpless, insures domes
tic trouble, takes away the common de
fense, destroys the general welfare and
blots out the blessings of liberty to our
selves and our. posterity, bringing Into
this world children with an inherited
appetite which stands for prenatal damn
ation to the Innocent.
"Lord Cole once said: 'The reason of
the law Is the life of the law, and if a
man know the law and know not the
reason thereof, he will soon forget his
superfluous knowledge.' This Is In har
mony with Paul's great statement that
th
lif(
1
the letter kllleth but the spirit glveth
life.' The purpose of the law Is to pre-
rye order and protect human rights of
liberty and fame, whatever sub-
rts this principle Is unlawful; whatever
ps It Is In harmony with the purpose
law.
"Accordingly Blackstone affirms: If a
idge is sworn to administer a specific
iw, and it can be shown that that law
ontravenes the law of God or the law
f nature, he Is bound to set aside that
vw: not on the ground that it is bad
iw, but on the ground that it Is not law.
'or as the object of the lawmaker was to
onform to the law of God, If he made a
llstake It is only like a clerical mistake,
that in setting aside his law, the judge
arries out his intentdn.' "
ERPOT UNDER THE FLAG
lev. Tj. C. Hoover Predicts Early
Stamping Out of Saloon.
Rev. L. C. Hoover preacher yesterday
vrnlng in Memorial Evfingelical
hurch. East Tibbetts and East Eigh-
?enth streets, on the "Righteousness
t a Nation." His text was: "Righteous-
ess exalteth a nation, but sin Is a re
roach to any people." Mr. Hoover
olnted that the foundation of true gov-
rnment has always been laid in
ghteousness, and that as long as na
ons maintain the standard of purity
ley are factors in civilization, while
leir downfall comes through an aban
mment of righteousness.
Continuing, Dr. Hoover said:
!Yoo have a clear and concise statement
the causes that have made and unmade
L sdoms. Th nations of the earth have
f "Wine appointment, "The powers that
' nre ordained of God." The perpetuity
id power of a nation la conditional upon
-T faithfulness in administering the affaire
' government according t6 the principles
' righteousness, and the divine mandates,
i-so-far as they may be understood.
We are proud to be, clttiens of the United
States, to live under the Stars and Stripes.
The greatest Nation on earth, the grandest
and most beautiful Flag that ever floated
upon the breezes. Can we find one word
that will explain our commanding post
tlon among the nations of the world, that
will explain our devotion to that Flag-
tell us why we love It as no other nag
has ever been loved and why it is re
spected the worldover? Tes, there is one
word that gives a satisfactory explana
tion. It is the first word of the text.
Righteousness.
There i not a more devoted and patriotic
people anywhere than the Sons and Daugh'
tera of Columbia This spirit of loyalty is
the Nation's safeguard against foes from
within and without. It Is the more valua-
ble because its springs, not from a love
of country right or wrong, but from a love
or country because right, once aware mai
a foe threatens those institutions that are
dearer to the American than life itself and
be will consider no sacrifice too great to
make In behalf of bis country,' If need
be,, he can leap Into the mouth of the
belching cannon, smd die in heaps upon the
field of battle.
But the highest test of patriotism may
not be on the field of battle nor In the
time of war. But it may be a call to duty
in time of peace. Abraham Lincoln was
no less a patriot when as a young man
standing in a slave mart in the South wit
nessing the awful scenes as children were
torn from their parents and parents from
their children, he called upon God to wit-,
ness his vow that if he ever had the op
portunity to hit the thing he would hit it
hard than when he signed the emancipa
tion proclamation while the Armies of
the North and South were hurling their
columns against each other.
We need men of courage today. There is
one great blot upon our civilization, a stain
upon our Flag. It ts Government compli
city in the beverage liquor traffic. This
serpent should not be allowed to bide be
neath the folds of Old Glory. "We believe
that the time Is not far distant, much
nearer than- we even dare to hope, wheu
in response to an overwhelming public sen
timent, the tide of which is already begin
ning to rise, the saloon will, by a deci
sion of our National Supreme Court, be
made In reaty what It now ia in prin
ciple an outlaw.
, Recent decisions that have been handed
down by the Supreme Court of Indiana lead
us to look forward to such a decision as in
evitable. That decision will be the death
blow to the liquor traffic and will give to
us a stainless Flag.
PREACHES GOSPEIi OF NATURE
Rer. James B. Corby Likens Human
Soul to Garden.
Rev. James B. Corby spoke yesterday
morning on the "Gospel of Nature, or
Growing as God Would Have Us," at the
Universallst Church of Good Tidings. He
said in part:
Jesus loved and lived out of doors. The
Gospel Is a nature book. While the Master
was much in the city, he kept near to na
ture's heart. Be illustrated his message by
the lilies, the grass, the sower, the birds.
He -took the disciples over the lake and
upon the mountains. Jesus must have
loved iO see things grow and all through
bla ministry he teaches the analogy be
tween soul growth and garden cultivation.
A few weeks of this glorious growing
season has made everything beautiful and
fragrant. Here are different kinds of trees
and shrubs growing out of practically the
same soil, yet each flower and vegetable
gainers out or this common store-house
tha: which builds up Its own peculiar life.
Here is a fir tree turning everything from
earth, air and sky into fir tree. All about
us are roses. Everything a rosebush gath
ers from nature is transformed into rose,
beauty of color and form, daintiness of
perfume. Right beside it Is a thistle,
everything it gathers it turns into that
which Is repulsive and injurious. Out of
that which is noxious and poisonous the
vegetable produces that which is whole
some;, while from the same soil the Ivy
proluces that which is poisonous.
The pioneers since 1840 have forced back
the forest wilderness and sprinkled cities
like shining beads along the river's bank.
The land trodden by the ox team proved
rich in fertility. Luther Burbank has
given us new peaches and pears and the
Northwest is producing' a quality and quan
tity of fruit that more than realizes the
dreams of the most expert nomologist. All
this advance comes from obedience to
God's laws of sun,-rain and growth.
Not otherwise Is it with human life. Ton
and I are planted here like seeds in the
sou of everyday experience and we are
t appropriate those elements which will
produce the best character.. We are re
sponsible for what we select and grow Into
our life. Tou can bring life to Its best if
you will take infinite pains. We hear a
great deal about soulless corporations and
the revelation of corrupt business methods
show that for every soulless corporation
there are scores of officers, directors and
employes who are its pliant tools. As
Jesus said: "Men do not gather grapes
of thorns nor figs from- thistles. By their
iruit ye snau know them." Tou never
mistake a petrified log for a living tree.
A business concern is soulless when it
has no thought beyond the dollar, when it
combines with others -to regulate prices
and gouge the publlo out of more than
a fair profit; when it delights in crushing
a mercnam wno is practicing - the Golden
Rule. We are horrified that Orchard should
have made a business of killing for a price.
Yet how many In recent commercial and
political scandals have been shown to be
selling their best life for a salary. No
wonder Jesus asks what shall it profit a
man -if he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul? Lay a thick coating- of
asphalt or cement over your lawn and of
course you will have no grass. Similarly
men plaster life over with hard, selfish
greed and deprive the soul of exercise and
growth.
I desire roses and asters in my garden
but my desire never fills my garden with
these flowers except as I plant them. I
must plant soul qualities If I would grow
a soul. One business man grows selfish,
hard and suspicious; he says competition I
too fierce to leave any room for kind
ness. Next door is a man in the same
line who, out of the same possibilities and
conditions. Is building himself up into en.
ttrely another kind of character. He is
loving, gentle, tender and unselfish. What
makes the difference? The latter, while
anxious to have something. Is far more
anxious to be a good and useful man. He
picks every chance to serve others and
grows his soul into ever new beauty be
cause he feels a garden is preferable to
a desert.
The dying negro color-bearer exhorted his
successor who seized the flag: "Hold the
colors high. I never let the colors touch
the ground."
On the eve of Independence day we
need men and women who will never let
the colors touch the ground of the mere
conventional morality. True patriotism and
good citizenship call for those who can
not only resist the temptation to graft,
but who will be positive forces for good
In the community. Throw yourself into
every good work. Fill every hour with
good deeds and wise words. We are God's
gardens. See to it that you grow tn grace,
for not and always shall we be known
by our fruits.
Preach on "Stainless Flag."
Many Portland pastors spoke yesterday
on the "Stainless Flag," and in each case
the discourses were followed by the dis
tribution of the pamphlet of Dr. E. S.
Chapman on that subject. Among
East Side pastors who spoke on
this topic were: Rev. A. J. Mont
gomery, Third Presbyterian; Rev. E,
Nelson Allen, at Hawthorne Park Pres
byterian; Rev. S. A. Slevert, at First
Evangelical: Rev. A. A. Winter, at First
United Evangelical: Rev. Jerome Mc
Glade, Mizpah Presbyterian: Rev. J. F.
Ghormley. Central Christian; Rev. D. A,
Thompson, Sellwood Presbyterian; Rev.
E. S. Bollinger. Highland Congregational;
Rev. Jamea B. Corby, Universallst; Dr.
Ford, Sunnyside Methodist Episcopal;
Rev. E. M. Sharp, Mount Tabor Presby
terian, and others.
Rev, E. M. Hill Talks to Men.
Rev. H. M. Hill, acting pastor of the
Taylor-etreet Methodist Churoh, talked
to men at the meeting at the T. M. C
A. yesterday afternoon. Ha took for his
subject, "Vision and Task," saying that
where there is no vision and no
dreamers, nothing will be done.
"If you have no dreams you have no
great thoughts," said he, "and you will
do no great deeds. Ideals must be seen
before they can be realized. Every man
who has touched the world to- make the
world feel his presence has looked and
seen a vision. The world has very lit
tle use for a dreamer, yet how would
the world live without him?" As ex
amples, Rev. Mr. Hill cited the Biblical
characters of Joseph, Solomon find Saul
of Tarsus, afterward Paul the' Apostle.
GETTING READYTO
KE
Railroad Surveys Being Run
in All Directions Through
Southeastern Oregon.
SPONSORS ARE UNKNOWN
Questions Rife as to Whether Harri
man or Gould Is Behind the
Movement General Opinion
Seems to Be Harrlman.
LAKEVIEW. Or., June 30. (Special.)
Is there going to be railroad con
struction In Southeastern Oregon soon,
and If so, where Is the road going to
cross the country, and who is to build
It Harrlman or Gould? These are
questions that agitate the minds of
most people in this locality this Spring.
Certain It is that someone Is spending
a great deal of money running surveys
In every direction across Southeastern
Oregon. Crews of surveyors are busy
near Silver Lake, Plush and Lakeview,
in this county, now, and the people who
are here have been operating from
Burns for a year or more past.
Over in Warner "Valley, about 45
miles east of Lakeview, and one of
the richest sections of all Eastern
Oregon, the surveyors who ran the pre
liminary lines have been followed up
by parties placing what appear to be
permanent grade stakes, and excite
ment Is Intense. Everything that is
usual to railroad exploitation of a new
country Is happening. At Plush, which
Is merely a small trading point and
PoBtofflce, a townsite has been sur
veyed and .laid ou,t in lots, and there
Is only needed the actual ring or the
sledge spiking rails to the ties to see
a first-class boom. - The proposed road
there runs north and south through
some of the largest and finest stock
ranches in the West ranches consist
ing of' thousands upon thousands of
acres of natural meadow land, from
which are out several hundred thou
sand tons of natural hay annually, and
on which graze great herds of Hereford
and Durham cattle. This proposed
road taps a country in which zealous
and energetic prospectors are busy In
many places searching for hidden min
eral wealth, which they declare to be
in that locality. There are also thou
sands of acres of rich sagebrush land
that needs only the hand of man and
some irrigation to make It the richest
land in the West. And the water is
declared to be there to do the work.
In the Sliver Lake country, in North
ern Lake County, the surveyors have
their crews working both north and
south and east and west, and there Is
plenty of excitement. The head of the
whole work is C. Stradley, a civil en
gineer, with headquarters in Lake
view. He isn't saying for whom he is
working, or what he is attempting to
do, but a force 'of men la busy every
day behind closed doors at the office
end of the work, and others are exe
cuting the orders in the field. There
is a demand for men to Join the sur
veying parties, and every available
workman la picked up and sent to the
camps.
Just south of here, in Modoc County,
Northern California, men who are act
ing under orders from the Lakeview
headquarters, are at work, - and there
is a feeling of certainty that between
some of these ranges of mountains that
divide Southeastern Oregon into val
leys lying north and south, a railroad
will be constructed. While speculation
is rife as to who is behind the work,
there is good reason to believe that it
is the Harrlman system. Whether the
new road, when built, will connect this
locality with the Southern Pasiflc as it
crosses Nevada or California, or wheth
er it will conect witn one of the lines
that branch off from the O. R. & N.
along the Columbia River, or with a
road yet to be constructed from Natron
to Ontario, are questions that are caus
ing much speculation. But there is a
feeling that a railroad will be built
soon which wyi give Lake County bet
ter connection with other parts of the
West. Then this great country, with
possibilities unsurpassed, will be de
veloped; and the dream of hardy pio
neers in this remote Western empire,
so long deferred by railroad men who
parceled out the country for their own
profit, will be realized.
FOR STANISLAUS CHURCH
OATHOMCS IAY CORNERS TO JTE
IS UPPER ALB IN A.
Archbishop Chri6tie Officiates in Be
half of Polish Congregation
on the East Side.
With solemn and impressive ceremonies
Archbishop Christie yesterday laid the
cornerstone of Stanislaus- Churoh at
Maryland avenue and Falling street.
Upper Alblna, in the presence of several
hundred people. He waa assisted by Rev,
Father Joseph Gallagher. C. S. C; Father
DeRoo, Father George Thompson, Father
P. Olllvotti, Father E. P. Murphy. Father
Lamp. O. P.; Father Kernan and others.
The Polish National Alliance Society, St.
Joseph's Verein and the Ancient Order of
Hibernians participated. The clergy and
the organizations mentioned marched
from St. Mary's Church on Williams ave
nue with flags and banners flying, to the
foundation of the new church.
Here the procession was met by a com
pany of young girls clothed in white and
wearing white wreaths, who escorted the
archbishop and his assistants to the plat
form, where a short service was con
ducted preparatory to laying the corner
stone. The cornerstone was laid and con
secrated according to the forms of the
Catholic Church as the audience stood
with uncovered heads. Archbishop Chris
tie then returned to the platform and de
livered a short address. He said in part:
"We have today laid the cornerstone
of another Catholic Church,, so we have
14 churches in Portland. This one is for
our Polish brethren, who desire to wor
ship in their native tongue. These peo
ple deserve the gratitude of the Amer
ican people. We owe them a debt of
gratitude because they were the first to
recognize this country and make possible
its freedom, and helped lay the founda
tion of the Nation. So America should
recognize this people in a most substan
tial manner. ' Their magnificent sacrifices
through persecution and division of their
country for their faith challenges the ad
miration of the world.
"They have become some of the best
and most loyal citizens of this country,
and it is with pleasure I have come here
BOOM LI
COUNTY
today to lay the cornerstone of this
church for this people, who are such
strong Christians and loyal citizens of
this country.
"The Polish people stand for the sanc
tity of the home. Among them race sui
cide is not known. Dishonesty is most
rare and civil divorce unknown. They
love education and build and maintain
schools of their own that they may edu
cate their children's souls as well as
their minds. They believe in moral and
intellectual training, hence the build
schools for that purpose at great sacri
fice. Very soon these people will erect
an educational Institution alongside this
church, second to none in Portland. May
God bless this church and the educa
tional institution they'are soon to build."
Following' his address Archbishop Chris
tie gave his benediction as the congrega
tion knelt. Then followed the reading of
the indigencies by Rev. Father Gal
lagher. The new church will be . an attractive
structure. Rev. Father Seroskl la the
priest In charge. ,
MUST RECKON WITH ALMIGHTY
Rev. E. M. mil Says All Nations
Have to Observe Natural Laws.
"Must the Oregon Man Reckon With
God?" was the unique subject chosen
by Rev. E. M. Hill, acting pastor of the
Taylor-Street Methodist Church, for his
sermon last night. He took for his
text Ps. 127:1, and brought out In the
course of his remarks that all people
and kingdoms of the earth have reck
oned with their Maker.
"Jerusalem, Damascus, Ninevah, Tyre
and Babylon," said he, 'are but names
to us today, yet they represent the
marvelous activity of the centuries of
the past.
"It is no play life that we are liv
ing, and it behooves us to follow the
plan of the Almighty. The farmer
does not fight against the seasons, but
follows the call of the Spring. He
plants his crop In the season that de
mands it, and reaps it in the proper
season, also. The merchant does not
defy the law of supply and demand In
trade, but works in harmony with it.
The banker does not disobey the laws
of his country about money coined by
the private individual, but follows the
law of the land. Bankruptcy would
follow disobedience of any of these
laws.
"Julian, the apostate, in the early
Christian Church, thought to turn the
tide back from Christianity to pagan
ism once more. - He tolled to rtreate
sentiment. Finally he advanced into
the open and fought Christianity .with
his armed men. hut nn nn. tr-rcu t H v
hhls army went against the Christian
forces and he was struck in the breast
with an arrow, and as the blood spurt
ed from his heart he caught the barbed
shaft and as he cast it toward the sky,
was heard to say: 'Gallleean, thou
hast conquered.'. His life will be a
wicked life who fights against God, and
it will end in tragedy."
MAKES PLEA FOR SANE FOURTH
S
Rev. A. J. Montgomery Deplores
Danger to Life and Property.
Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery, pastor of
the Third Presbyterian Church. East
Third and Pine streets, yesterday morn
ing made a most earnest plea for a saner
Fourth of July observance. His remarks
were by way of a prelude to the regular
morning sermon, but were very effective
and pointed. They were called out by the
announcement for the regular prayer
service next Thursday night, July 4.
"I hope that there will be a full at
tendance," said Dr. Montgomery, "that
we may have a saner observance of this
day than we have had In the past. Do
you know, my friends, that more proper
ty has been destroyed in a single Fourth
of July celebration than was destroyed in
gaining the Independence of this country?
Think of that. And we call that an exhi
bition of patriotism. The Mayor of Chi
cago In his. recent proclamation called
the Fourth of July the lock-jaw day.
"It is made a day of destruction and
ruin all over this country. There is a
constant roar and explosion. No regard
is paid to the sick and the dying, but
the noise goes on at our very doors.
Lives are sacrificed all over this coun
try. Why, if Japan should kill a few of
our young men .anywhere the country
could not move fast enough' to get on
its fighting harness, and yet we go on
killing boys every Fourth of July in the
name of patriotism, as well as destroying
property.
"May the day come when we shall have
an observance of this day along true. In
telligent, patriotic lines; when quiet and
real love of country will take the place
of this havoo of property and life In this
land. So let us come on the evening of
the Fourth of July and pray for a better
observance of the day."

Clears at Local Port.

SLOW TIME DOWN COLUMBIA
Paul Jones Takes Nine Hours On
Trip to Astoria.
The Torpedo-boat-destroyer Paul Jones,
for Seattle, left Portland Saturday morn
ing at 8 o'clock and did not reach Astoria
until 6 o'clock that evening. The vessel
required nine hours to make the run
whereas the regular boats make it down
stream in a little better than six hours.
There Is sufficient depth of water in
the Columbia to permit the Paul Jones or
any other ship to go down at better than
a 20-mlle speed. The time consumed by
the Paul Jones is probably aocounted
for by the desire of her officers to take
no chances in hitting the bottom.

ing on the steamship Arabia for a plea
sure tour of Japan and China. They will
